Zhang Xiaohu sat on a large rock, with messy food everywhere under his feet.

The villagers had just cleared the cavern and revealed the ice chamber below, and then everyone saw that the walls of the ice chamber were full of cracks, and the ground was full of food scraps and scattered earth and stones.

Yan Cannon turned around, looked at it carefully, and said incomprehensibly: "It's really strange, this big explosion has not even had a single sign of burning, this is too strange." It's the first time I've seen it! ”

Zhang Xiaohu on the side noticed something and confirmed: "Uncle, what did you say?" ”

Yan Cannon picked up a wooden board and said, "Look at it, there is no trace of burning, the wood is crispy inside, and the power of this explosion is a bit scary." ”

Zhang Xiaohu also picked up a piece of sawdust from the ground and muttered, "It's not right! It can't be like this! "It's not that he didn't suspect that it was because the space was confined and caused the dry ice to explode. But this ice room has been used for so long, and there have never been accidents. However, according to the current situation, the dry ice explosion is the only explanation, when the dry ice form is converted from solid to gas, the volume will increase by 600-800 times, resulting in an increase in the internal air pressure of the space, once it exceeds the bearing capacity, it will produce a very strong explosion, although the explosion is powerful, but because of the carbon dioxide gas flame retardant, so there will be no traces of burning.

Although the cause of the explosion is known, there is still no clue how it happened.

A villager walked up to Elder Nanmu and said, "Elder, when everyone was patrolling just now, we found that a section of the outer wall was damaged! Please come and have a look! ”

Elder Nanmu sighed and said sadly, "Could it be that Lord Ryujin is really angry, blaming us for not taking care of its remains and dragon balls!" There will be such a great change! Having said that, Elder Nanmu still followed the villagers and came to the damaged wooden wall, and Zhang Xiaohu also went with him.

Three of the log-tamped wooden walls in this section have completely collapsed, which looks serious, but it should be repaired soon if they are replaced with other logs.

Elder Nanmu's clutching heart stabilized a little, and he asked, "What's going on?" ”

A villager in leather armor replied respectfully: "Elder, last night a wooden boat somehow hit a wooden wall, broke three logs, and broke itself into several pieces. ”

Elder Nanmu said curiously: "You said the wooden boat? Where is it? ”

The villager led everyone to the outside of the wall, and saw a large amount of wood chips scattered on the muddy ground, and from a few slightly larger pieces of wreckage, it was barely recognizable as a wooden boat.

Elder Nanmu asked, "Can you go and count the number of wooden boats in the village, do you know what the problem is?" ”

The villager hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Elder, there is indeed one less wooden boat in the village, and we have carefully identified the marks on the boat, and confirmed that it is the one you lent to these outsiders" After speaking, he also secretly glanced at Zhang Xiaohu and the others, and the meaning was very clear, it was these outsiders who made trouble.

Elder Nanmu looked at Zhang Xiaohu and the others, and asked, "What explanation do you have?" You borrowed the boat! I can't help it now. ”

King Peter replied, "Elder, this matter must be made clear, and it is not good to indiscriminately wronged people!" It's true that we borrowed this boat, but yesterday Master Wang and I returned the boat to you, and several villagers can testify! ”

A villager whispered a few words in Elder Nanmu's ear, confirming that this was true.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, and it was very dangerous to go out to cut down trees, Elder Nanmu had to find someone to find a few large planks in the village first, and simply disposed of the wooden wall. He also stressed that this position must be stationed tonight, and that it is possible to carry items such as gongs and drums, and to warn immediately in case of danger without delay.

After explaining the problem of the wooden wall, Elder Nanmu still came to the ice room and organized the villagers to collect food as much as possible in the ice room. Everyone's mood is very heavy, and no one will feel good to see the ice house they rely on for survival become like this.

Zhang Xiaohu also helped everyone try to pick out some food that could be used, he found that there was a slightly intact beast leg on the ground in front of him, he was about to pick it up, but he saw that behind the beast leg, the crack that originally came out of the dry ice was affected by the explosion, and the crack was even bigger, forming a passage that could accommodate people to enter. The moment he looked over, he found that a strange blue light was shining quickly in the passage, and he hurriedly walked to the gap, trying to carefully identify it, in the depths of the dark gap, there was no blue light, and the cold wind that kept blowing out before also mysteriously stopped.

He took a torch from the stone wall beside him and stretched it into the crack, and in the darkness of the crack, he seemed to recognize a few flying things in his vision, and they didn't know what they were, they were brightly colored, and their flight trajectory was very strange. Seeing the light, the thing seemed to be stimulated, and quickly dispersed, hiding in a darker place.

Zhang Xiaohu felt another signal of danger, and he trusted his sixth sense, which had saved his life and his companions' lives several times.

He hurriedly stayed away from the crack and suddenly touched Zhao Zixuan behind him.

"Lao Zhang, what's wrong with you? So flustered? Zhao Zixuan found that Zhang Xiaohu's face was a little strange.

"I can't tell, let's stay away from this rift, he gives me a sense of danger." Zhang Xiaohu found that as long as he stayed away from the cracks, the feeling of danger disappeared, and the problem was inside.

At this time, it was completely dark, only the torches emitted the light of the jumping, and everyone's collection efficiency was also low, Elder Nanmu saw this, and also knew that everyone had been tired for a day, so he left four people to guard here, and the others could go back to rest.

That night, Zhang Xiaohu lay on the bed, and there was always an indescribable feeling in his heart, the explosion of the ice room, the damage to the wooden wall, the blue light at the crack, and what were those flying? Are these things related to each other?

In addition, although the expedition of his group to the lake has been temporarily suspended, it will continue once the time is ripe, and the help of this Nanmu Village will be needed at that time. Now the people of Nanmu Village are panicking, and they don't know if they can get through this difficulty.

His mind was full of these nonsense thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep, so he simply sat up and looked at the stars outside the window. The starry sky in this world is really beautiful, and you can't see such a splendid scenery on earth, but this is not your home after all.

While he was thinking wildly, he heard a noise in the village, with people shouting and crying bitterly. This is something happened again, he hurriedly ran out of his room, and saw Yan Cannon running out with a gun, and said with a nervous face: "Doll, no, I heard someone in the village shouting for help just now, someone shouting for murder, it should be something wrong!" ”

They didn't have time to wake up the others, and when they rushed outside, they saw that the entire Nanmu Village was in complete chaos, some people were burning houses with some torches, and some people were killing people when they saw them, and the roads in the village were full of people fleeing.

When three people saw Zhang Xiaohu and Yan Dacang, they shouted in their mouths: "Kill!" He rushed at them with a sharp blade in his hand.

"What should I do?" Yan Dacang glanced at Zhang Xiaohu and asked, "Kill or not?" ”

Zhang Xiaohu and Yan Dacang both recognized that these three people were also villagers of Nanmu Village, although they didn't know their names, but they would usually be seen in the village. At this time, seeing that the originally kind villagers had turned into a fierce and vicious look, I was inevitably a little overwhelmed.

Yan Dacang saw that Zhang Xiaohu had no idea, so he had to make his own opinion, pressed the bayonet, and faced the three people, he practiced martial arts when he was a child, and fought all year round, and the three people were delirious, how could they be his opponents, he was stunned by the butt of his gun, and fell to the ground.

This time, Zhang Xiaohu reacted and rushed to Yan Dacang's side and asked, "Uncle, are you okay?" ”

Yan Cannon smiled: "Haha! I'm fine! If you are injured by these stupid people, my reputation will be ruined, but you have to be careful, these people are dead hands, and if you don't pay attention, it will be dangerous. ”

Looking at the chaotic thoughts in the village, Zhang Xiaohu was afraid that other villagers would attack again, so it was better to retreat into the house first, wake up the others, leave Nanmu Village as soon as possible, and find a safe place to avoid for a while.

The two of them turned around and walked towards the house, suddenly, Yan Dacang suddenly knelt on the ground, Zhang Xiaohu saw an arrow piercing out of Yan Cannon's chest, he looked back and saw that there was a villager not far away holding a crossbow and reloading the crossbow arrow.

Yan Cannon roared, stood up, fired four shots in a row to knock down the attacker, and then spat blood blisters in his mouth, supported his body with the gun, and forced a smile: "it!" It's quite... Permit! Doll... Doll! I... Missed! Go back! ”

Zhang Xiaohu held back his tears and tried his best to support Yan Cannon back to the house, and found that Yan Cannon had lost consciousness, and he shouted sadly: "Come and save Uncle Yan!" ”
