Chapter 175: Large Amount of Supplies
At the foot of the mountain, Ruan Anan looked at the endless mountain range before him and sighed from the bottom of his heart, "It's true, the legendary mountains are impossible to escape from."
Nansha Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, but the terrain of the island is peculiar. Half of it is continuous and dangerous mountains, and the side of the mountain facing the sea is a towering cliff with broken arms.
The other side is a flat plain.
Most of the villagers on Nansha Island make a living by fishing and farming.
Why not go hunting in the mountains?
Because of the steep terrain, miasma and rapids, it is impossible to get out.
There are only seven hunters in the entire Nansha Island, including Xiao Li.
Without exception, these seven hunters were trapped by the miasma, and for some unknown reason, they were no longer afraid of it.
It is precisely because of these special reasons that this mountain range has no signs of human development, let alone roads.
Xu Yancheng distributed the wooden sticks that he had prepared long ago to everyone, and wrapped a bright red towel around Ruan Anan's stick to prevent her from scratching her arm.
Finally, everyone was organized to roll up their trouser legs and sleeves, cover their faces and necks with scarves, and wear hats before following Xiao Li into the mountains.
Xiao Li, holding a sickle, cleared the way ahead. "These shrubs grow very fast, especially after a rain. They can grow more than ten centimeters in two days."
"So, I can't be sure if this is the location I left last time."
After entering the dense forest, the sun is almost invisible, and the towering trees cover the ground completely.
There was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, which was soft and made a rustling sound when you stepped on it.
The bottom layers of these fallen leaves have begun to rot and are feeding back into the tree trunk in another form.
In such a primitive environment, small creatures live more freely, such as mosquitoes.
Ruan Anan felt sick as she watched a mosquito as big as a fingernail flapping its five-centimeter-long wings and flying around in front of her.
If you get bit by it, you'll probably end up in hell, right?
Wu Wei squatted down, picked up two mushrooms from the fallen leaves, and put them into the cloth bag on his waist. "Xiao Li, how long will it take to walk through the passage you mentioned?"
"I'm not sure where the entrance is, but I can determine the general direction and distance." He stopped and used a stick to knock down a snake coiled on a branch. After neatly chopping off the snake's head, he continued.
"We estimate it's already late at night. Let's walk for another four hours and then find a place to set up camp."
"Wait until sunrise tomorrow and then continue walking."
Xu Yancheng glanced around, walked over to a pile of dried animal feces and took a look. "Looks like we need to move on quickly."
"Do you have a place to stay?"
"Yes!" Xiao Li patted his chest proudly, "Although I can't find the passage, I can find a place to stay."
"There's an abandoned three-story building in this mountain. It's so sturdy that even bears and leopards can't get in."
“Even the windows were sealed with steel bars.”
"Those of us who come to the mountains to make a living will live there. Each of us has some food and other things in there for emergencies."
"There's room for ten more people."
Seeing Xiao Li's excited expression, Zhu Yaoyao, Xu Yancheng and Ruan Anan's smiles froze on their faces almost at the same time.
Because, a house that can withstand wild beasts is not something that ordinary villagers can build.
The key is that there are three floors.
Now, it can almost be concluded that the speculations of several people are true. This mountain may have been the base of those wicked people in the past.
Needless to say, it is used for research. If it can be built in such a valley, it must not be something that can be seen by the public.
Everyone was in a very solemn mood at this moment.
They didn't have any real feelings when they were guessing, but the closer they got to the truth, the more they hoped it was false and that everything was just their idle delusion.
Ruan Anan suddenly felt a warmth coming from the bracelet on her wrist.
Before going up the mountain, in order to protect the bracelet from being bumped or scratched, Xu Yancheng specially wrapped the bracelet with several layers of new elastic socks and hid it in his cuff.
In fact, after Ruan Anan arrived at Nansha Island, the bracelet simply became a storage space.
Because of the so-called shielding signal, the bracelet, an artificial idiot, chose to protect itself and hide itself.
But after entering the mountains, he became more active.
Isn’t it said that there is signal blocking in the mountains?
[Ding! A large amount of supplies detected one kilometer ahead, please proceed quickly.]
The corners of Ruan Anan's lips twitched, and she communicated with the bracelet with her mind: Xiao Li just said that those are emergency supplies left by the hunters. They are life-saving things and we can't take them.
[Ding! A large amount of supplies, firearms, and testing equipment has been detected one kilometer ahead. Please proceed quickly.]
Ruan Anan paused.
No way, no way.
We found the enemy's lair so quickly?
Just one thousand meters?
For a moment, she felt herself inexplicably aroused.
But, the fire is still burning.
The one thousand meters detected by the bracelet space is the straight-line distance ahead. It is impossible to walk in a straight line between two points in the original mountain range.
This walk lasted for three and a half hours.
When he saw the small three-story Japanese-style building in front of him, Ruan Anan felt that his faith in Taoism was shattered.
I walked for three and a half hours without stopping. Branches scratched my pants, insects got into my collar, and every now and then a snake would pop out and spit at me.
After eight levels of physical and mental torture, the three-story building that was full of expectations looked like a funeral home.
Anyone would collapse.
If you want to blame someone, blame the ancestors of these people. They couldn't even understand what they were learning from other people's culture. On the contrary, whose house was built to look like a miniature coffin in a mausoleum?
Oh, it’s the little Japanese.
Ruan Anan helplessly took two sips of water and continued walking forward with Xiao Li.
Xiao Li pushed open the door of the small building and began to speak, "The windows here were all broken a long time ago, and it's one of the few well-ventilated places in the mountains, so it's not damp."
"Everyone just choose a spot to spread out their luggage."
[Ding! A large amount of supplies has been detected!]
【A large amount of supplies! 】
[A lot of supplies! ]
Ruan Anan rubbed the bracelet on her hand and said, "I know there are a lot of supplies, but I have to find a suitable reason for them to move them, right?"
If she just opened the basement and took it, wouldn't people think she was colluding with enemy spies?
Xu Yancheng looked at the once gorgeous decorations around him, then looked up at the extravagant but broken crystal chandelier, his eyes narrowed dangerously, "There used to be electricity here."
"What does it mean to answer the call?" Zhu Yaoyao was puzzled and looked at Ruan Anan blankly.
Ruan Anan finally collected her thoughts and looked around. "This kind of decoration style was very common during the Republic of China period. Judging from the scale, it should be at the headquarters level."
"It's just that they moved everything away. It seems they didn't leave in a hurry. Otherwise, why wouldn't they leave even a sofa?"
