The horror turmoil of Duan Xingze's disappearance has finally come to an end. After the Duan family went upstairs, several other people also began to clean up.

Lu Rulan and Haichen went to wash the dishes, and Su He walked to the bathroom without saying a word, this scene happened to be seen by Du Yunfei.

Due to some well-known reasons, Du Yunfei was reluctant to take a bath with Su He on weekdays. However, at this moment, he didn't know what to think, and suddenly went upstairs to get a change of clothes, and followed up with two hot water bottles in the bathroom.

There are three shower stations, and Suhe is using the innermost one. Du Yunfei chose the shower next to him, separated by a waterproof shower curtain, but they were all right.

Du Yunfei turned on the faucet of the sink, let the cold water pour into the high tank along the plastic pipe, and then stood on the low stool with a hot water bottle and mixed the hot water into the cold water.

In the process of adjusting the water temperature, Du Yunfei noticed that there was no sound of water coming from Suhe's side. With the advantage of height, he looked across the shower curtain and found that Su He was closing his eyes tightly, rubbing the foam on his head.

The dim yellow light in the bathroom spilled down, casting a soft sheen on Su He's damp body, like a nostalgic old photo.

Du Yunfei watched silently, and before he knew it, the water in the water tank had overflowed. Su He, who heard the strange situation, suddenly raised his head with his eyes closed.

“…… Little Blue? ”

Du Yunfei didn't answer, he adjusted the water temperature, closed the shower curtain on his side, and began to undress.

Su He didn't hear the answer, and thought it was Haichen who came, so he turned to "tsk" twice.

"You're in the limelight today. It seems that swimming is quite important, and if you teach it seriously, maybe that dark path will be useful in the future. ”

Du Yunfei still didn't answer, turned on the faucet and began to wash his hair.

"Yo, that's swelling?"

Su He muttered a word, but stopped talking.

The two men washed their own hands, and a minute or two passed like this. Du Yunfei began to apply soap to his body, and with a slip of his hand, the soap flew out of the tiger's mouth and slid from under the shower curtain into Su He's shower seat.

The sound of the water on Suhe's side also stopped.

“…… You're not, aren't you? ”

He still regarded Du Yunfei as a Haichen: "What's the matter today, all of them are fucking crazy?!" ”

It's not good to hurt Haichen to carry the black pot like this, Du Yunfei coughed: "It's me." ”

Su He's suddenly stopped squeaking, and a few seconds later, the soap slid back from the ground.

"What do you want to do?"

Du Yunfei replied: "Talk to you." ”

"Talk?" Su He chuckled, "There's something you need to talk about here with a naked person." Or are you trying to sneak up on me under the guise of talking? ”

"You're angry." Du Yunfei went straight in, "Duan Whale wants to take Xingze and Youqing away, and this matter makes you very disappointed. ”

On the other side of the shower curtain, Su He was quiet for a moment, and then let out a sneer.

"Don't call me like a selfish ghost, okay...... If it's for Xiaoxing's sake, of course I can understand, after all, it's Lao Duan's own son, and if I want to have a child, I'll be baby. ”

But understanding doesn't stop disappointment. Because this thing makes you feel like an outsider. Even though they tried harder than anyone else to keep the group together, they still couldn't avoid it falling apart - or more accurately, afraid of being excluded from the new team. ”

"......" Su He sighed: "Can you keep some morality?" There's no need to say it so explicitly. ”

"No, I'm just telling the truth. And you resist Haichen because you think he will rob your only relative, your cousin. If that happens, you'll be alone again. And this time, even human society has collapsed, and you will face ...... It will be the purest and darkest solitude. ”

Across the shower curtain, there was a sudden silence.

This was followed by the screeching sound of the shower curtain loops being torn open.

Su He, who was covered in water, appeared in front of Du Yunfei with half of his body. However, what attracted Du Yunfei the most at this moment was the expression on Su He's face.

It was an expression that Du Yunfei had never seen before, and even an expression that Su He had never shown in front of people.

There was not a hint of a smile on that good-looking face, but it was full of gloom; There was not a hint of flattery in the slender eyes, only vigilance and a cold light.

"Du Yunfei, I tolerate you, it doesn't mean that you can talk nonsense."

"Am I talking nonsense, your expression has already given the answer." Du Yunfei simply pointed to the mirror on the sink.

Su Ji didn't look in the mirror. His gaze was fixed on Du Yunfei's face, as if he wanted to see two blood holes on that face.

"You came to me to say all this?"

"Nope. I came to you to tell you that what you feared would not happen. ”

Like a twist and turn, Du Yunfei gave an unexpected answer.

"Leaving does not mean betrayal of a friend; Starting a family does not mean abandonment of the family; And you don't need to go through them to prove the value of your own savings. Loneliness only exists in the hearts of those who feel lonely. ”

"......" Su He's gloomy expression froze slightly because of these words.

Du Yunfei didn't miss Su He's stunned moment: "Maybe you didn't pay attention to it, but in fact, Duan Whale's symptoms also appeared in you." The recent period of rain has affected each of us. ”

Hearing these words, Su He finally raised his eyebrows and came back to his senses.

"Good eloquence. Unfortunately, facts are still facts. Even you yourself have said that there is no feast in the world. If friends and relatives are gone, leaving me alone on the island, do you say I'm lonely or not? ”

"I won't go," Du Yunfei said, "I'm the same as you, and I have nowhere else to go." ”

"You can go back to the United States and find your family."

"My family has family. And I'm looking for my own family. ”

After saying this, Du Yunfei stopped and stared straight at Su He.

I don't know if he was speechless or found it funny, Su He finally laughed, and tilted his head to look at Du Yunfei again: "Make it clear, otherwise I will treat you as a hooligan." ”

Du Yunfei still looked at him: "What you think it means, that's what it means." ”

Su He sneered, closed the shower curtain and disappeared from Du Yunfei's sight, followed by the sound of shower water.

After listening for a while, Du Yunfei picked up the soap on the ground and turned on the faucet.

――――――――

The next day, a large-scale clean-up of the cliffs and cliff bottoms around Foguang Island began. Two drones were dispatched at the same time, slowly advancing along the coastline of Foguang Island, and the high-definition cameras did not miss a single suspicious crack or hole.

The truth is a little surprising - around Foguang Island, especially on the cliffs on the southeast side, there are sixteen large and small cave walls or Buddha shrines. Twelve of them are small shrines with a clear internal structure, and four others need to be investigated to be confirmed.

The outer cliffs of these sixteen caves can be seen in the square mortise deep into the rock, which is clearly the trace of a trestle. In fact, there are eight caves that still remain of the pier to this day.

And all the remaining trestle bridges, all intermittently, extend to the same place.

"Look at this ......"

Haichen, who was manipulating the drone, aimed the camera at the bottom of the cliff south of Foguang Island. In the middle of a huge black reef, a striking artificial platform appeared in front of everyone.

Apparently not an antiquity, painted in striking red-and-white steel plates, a pier on the reef for the dinghy to dock temporarily. A speedboat with water in its hold is loading a sunken float on the dockside.

What's even more surprising is at the back of this makeshift pier.

“…… What a big cave! ”

About ten meters in front of the drone lens, a tall and slender hole suddenly appeared. The waves that rushed to the bottom of the cliff were smashed at the entrance of the cave, and the sight of a snow-like pile rolled up.

After confirming that there was no problem with the width of the cave, the drone slowly entered the cave.

As you can see, this is a herringbone natural cave. The center of the cave is full of seawater, with only narrow reef strips on both sides, leading to an artificial pier outside the cave.

The deeper you go into the cave, the dimmer the light becomes. The drone's infrared night vision function is turned on, and the picture immediately turns an eerie turquoise.

"There are zombies!"

The sharp-eyed Lu Rulan was the first to scream. In front of the picture, there is a zombie squatting on the reef on the right, and its eyes glow white under the night vision device.

The drone ignores the zombies and continues to fly forward. As the terrain rises, the sea slowly disappears, and a mysterious man-made structure appears in the clearing at the bottom of the cave.

"Temple?"

Indeed, what appears in the night vision lens is indeed a Chinese building that resembles a temple. Unlike the usual wooden buildings on the outside, it seems to be made of stone. After standing in the dark, damp cavern for many years, the building has clearly suffered from severe corrosion, and some kind of emergency repair measures seem to be being planned, and some supplies can be seen piled up in the open space in front of the building.

"I seem to get it a little bit...... Why is this island called Foguang Island? ”

Su He muttered to himself: "In the past, this island should have been a religious place with strong incense. Some people regard this cave as a dojo for worshipping a certain god, which is why there are so many Buddhist shrines and stone carvings left on the cliff wall.

Lu Rulan was also interested: "So, what is enshrined in the cave should be the protector of Foguang Island?" Should we also go down and say goodbye? ”

Naturally, there is no need to say goodbye, but it is still necessary to go down and take a look.

Leaving Lin Youqing to accompany Duan Xingze in the villa, the others quickly prepared and took Haichen's sailboat around half of the island and came to the artificial platform.

This expedition was very smooth, and everyone killed the two zombies that slipped through the net, and walked to the bottom of the cave in one go.

The building seen in the drone lens is indeed a temple. But because of the disrepair and concern for personal safety, everyone did not come close to observe.

In the open space next to the temple, Suhe found a broken stone tablet. Judging from the inscription above, the last time the temple was repaired was in the early years of the Republic of China, when Foguang Island was indeed a well-known religious place, and on the fifteenth day of every lunar month, nearby fishermen would come to the island to pray for wealth and safety.

Today, the people who pray for wealth and peace are long gone, and the temples are no longer burning. However, this hidden Poseidon Cave can be used for use.

The happiest man was apparently Haichen: "The height and width of this cave are just right for a sailing ship to be hidden." In this way, there will be no strong winds and waves outside...... Isn't it great! ”

Lu Rulan disagreed: "It's easy to say." Leave the boat here, how do you get back to the docks? Swim back? ”

"Why do you want to go back to the docks?" Haichen asked confidently, and then stretched out his finger and pointed to the top of his head, "Of course it went up directly!" ”

"Rock climbing?!"

"We can weave a ladder from the top of the cliff to the bottom of the cliff." Du Yunfei proposed a compromise proposal, "A hidden entrance and exit may be helpful in the future." ”

After leaving the Poseidon Cave, they explored the other cliff caves and confirmed that there were no more zombies, which was reassuring.

As for the stone room that saved Duan Xingze's life yesterday, they also went in again to check it. It turned out to be a Zen cave, and there were also carved Buddha shrines on the left and right stone walls, and what Duan Xingze used to smash the zombie's head was actually a broken white marble small stone Buddha.

With gratitude, Duan Whale collected the fragments of the stone Buddha and brought it back to the villa to prepare for restoration.
