1059 Wacky Tunnel
"Like...... It's a lot quieter than before, hehe, hehe......" Clark waved his hand, obviously trying to break the dreary atmosphere. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but the people in front of him are obviously in no mood to pay attention to him, obviously they are boring to themselves.
Xiao Chu walked into the ruins step by step, and according to his memory, he found the hotel where he had stayed, the restaurant where he had eaten, and the small lake where he had basked in the sun with Chenyue, Emma and others, but all of them were gone, and only pieces of ruins came into view.
He also found the location of the scientific research center built by Eden, where Morrowind was locked up in the first place. Come to think of it, this is also the source of the disaster in Maple Town!
"I didn't expect to leave here to chase the morning breeze that day, and it took a full five years to return here." Xiao Chu stood in front of the ruins and sighed, the scene five years ago seemed to have happened yesterday, and his time seemed to freeze in that moment, stuck five years ago.
But now he is really standing here, standing on the ruins of Maple Town, and a feeling of being in a different world arises spontaneously.
"Well, there's nothing to see here, let's go to Constantine Castle." Clark didn't like the atmosphere and urged everyone to leave. And Bliss and Martha, in fact, didn't spend much time in Maple Town, so they didn't have much affection.
Only Kaya followed Xiao Chu all the way from Aryan City to here, and this is also the second place where she has really lived in the earthly world, and it is also the place that is really closest to the original appearance of the earthly world, and her feelings for this place are actually deeper than Xiao Chu.
However, before Xiao Chu came back, Kaya had been to this ruin several times, and now she would not fall into that uncomfortable atmosphere.
"Huh? There seems to be a hole down there? Ka Ya originally wanted to comfort Xiao Chu a few words, but she inadvertently glanced at it, but found that in the ruins of the scientific research center, there seemed to be a hidden hole, if the light was dim, it would be difficult to find, but now it happened to be the noon when the light was the fullest, and the hole became very obvious.
Hearing what Kaya said, everyone gathered around curiously, and sure enough, there was a place in the ruins that was obviously cleaned, and a few rags were used to cover up a hole.
"Is there anyone else living here?" Xiao Chu couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, this maple town was not only their Eden people, but also had many original residents. Regardless of whether you know each other or not, even if it is just the most ordinary resident of the original Maple Town, it is a good thing to be happy.
This means that Maple Town was not slaughtered that day, and the chances of the others surviving are much greater.
"Check it out." Xiao Chu strode towards the entrance of the cave, brushed aside a few rags, and a burst of cool air poured out of the hole. It's summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and the cool air gushing out of this cave is enough to prove the depth of this cave.
Since the outbreak of the zombie plague, those caves in the mountains have become a favored place for countless survivors, even Xiao Chu has lived in such a place before, not to mention Kaya, her first twenty years of life have been spent almost entirely in that huge cave in Aryan City, and drilling holes will not be any pressure on her at all.
It's just that as soon as he entered the cave, the strong smell of fishy and rotten smell made it difficult for people like Xiao Chu to suddenly taste such a taste, and he also felt sick to his stomach.
The team of five people has always been Xiao Chu's favorite configuration, and he naturally took the lead in the first hole, Martha took the lead in following Xiao Chu and stretched out his hand, and then stepped forward to hold Xiao Chu's arm. Kaya chuckled and shook her head, and said "little girl" in her heart, and followed Martha into the hole, followed by Briss and Clarke.
In view of the fact that Martha is now a zombie, the only one who needs to be protected in this team at this moment is Briss, but it makes Briss awkward, how to say that he is also a man, he has been taking care of his sister and other rebels all these years, but now he needs to be taken care of most like a child, which is really laughable.
What makes people wonder why this cave is so filthy and smelly, like a zombie hole, since it looks like it is inhabited?
Soon the doubts in the hearts of the people were explained, and when the sloping steps finally came to an end and the cave extended horizontally, several zombies chained around the first corner explained the source of the stench.
"These zombies should have been specially placed here for people and zombies who strayed into the cave in a daze. This could be a temporary home for a zombie hunter. At a glance, Khaya knew the key, especially the way the chains locked up the zombies, indicating that the person living in this place was likely to be a zombie hunter like her.
Although there are a lot of people doing this now, but not everyone is so lucky, every hunt can be fully loaded, it is very likely that you will not be able to meet a zombie in the wild for half a month, and it is very likely that you will be a large group of people, and you can't start at all, so many zombie hunters will directly build a temporary residence for themselves in the wild, bring them to the zombies that have caught enough food for a month or two, and actually send them to nearby towns to sell.
Thinking of this, Kaya's interest in this cave is not very interesting, the only thing that makes him strange is that the walls of this cave are very irregular curved walls, which do not look like they were dug out by hand, but like the tunnels dug by ice worms in her hometown of Aryan!
After going about a few dozen meters deeper, he finally entered a large space, and as Kaya said before, he found many things used by zombie hunters, but he still couldn't see anyone.
"This hole...... It's a little too deep, right? Or is this not a hole in the first place, but a tunnel? Clark finally couldn't resist asking, if anyone was not at all interested in the situation in the cave, it would probably be him. If he had just gone to Constantine Castle to see if there was anyone there, he would have to come here to reminisce about the past.
Xiao Chu looked back and forth: "It's true that this is a tunnel, but it's definitely not what we built at the beginning." I'm curious about where this tunnel leads. Looking at the traces of the zombie hunters' activities again, it seemed that they hadn't gone too deep into the tunnel, and they couldn't help but be more curious.
"Could it be the place where the people of Maple Town used to store vegetables in the winter?" Clark guessed seriously, naturally no one would pay attention to him, shrugged helplessly, and could only follow.
"No matter where it leads, we've come so far, let's keep walking." Kaya took out a small flashlight and signaled that Xiao Chu could extinguish the flame in the palm of his hand: "Anyway, if you are here, we will not be buried alive in the worst situation, right?" ”
Xiao Chu was noncommittal, anyway, what Guya said was not false, if they combined the space jump with the ability to travel, they could directly return to the ground at any time. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that this tunnel was just below the ruins of the scientific research center, Xiao Chu might not have been so curious about where this tunnel leads.
The deeper he went, the lower the temperature became, and unconsciously, the temperature around him was already low enough to exhale water vapor, Xiao Chu estimated in his heart that he had already walked out of the scope of Maple Town, and suddenly the surrounding walls were no longer the curved walls before, but turned into walls made of stones.
The tunnel has become wider and wider, and if it continues to go a distance, it is enough to allow five people to move side by side, and the air has become fresher and fresher.
"What is this place?" Now, on the contrary, Clark, who has always been not very interested, came to be interested, looked around curiously, and touched the seeping stone wall: "How can I ...... Think this place sounds familiar? ”
Xiao Chu stood in front of the shining stone gate, and couldn't help but be stunned, and it took a long time before he said in a deep voice: "This is, Constantine Castle!" ”
The stone door in front of him was the same secret chamber that he had explored with Serra, and this was the basement of Constantine Castle. (To be continued.) )
