Volume 1: Urban Storm Chapter 1: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe

Next Chapter

A gust of wind blew, Tang Xuan suddenly woke up, he was in a coma for an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes, it was pitch black in his eyes, the surroundings were dark, he couldn't see anything, and he only got used to the darkness in it, and he could vaguely identify the surrounding environment.

Tang Xuan's eyes were blank as he thought back to his strange and frightening encounter, and at the same time guessed all kinds of possibilities, what the hell is this place? What am I going to do? He sat there for a long time, shook his head vigorously, and finally realized that he was in a desperate situation, and there was no pleasure in the rest of his life. Rather than sit on the ground and wait for death, he should explore his surroundings before making plans.

Tang Xuan stood up, groped and explored, feeling that this was a small cave, the cave was surrounded by hard rocks, and some water droplets were dripping on the rocks from time to time, making a dripping sound, the cave was empty and gloomy, there was a smell of damp mildew, and the front of the cave was a dark and deep cave, and from time to time there were gusts of cold wind blowing in the deep cave, Tang Xuan suddenly felt cold into the bone marrow.

The road ahead is unfathomable, should you go in? Tang Xuan took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to cautiously grope his way forward along the stone wall.

Tang Xuan walked along the only passage, the strange rocks in the cave were craggy, gloomy and damp, and he would slip and fall if he was not careful, Tang Xuan had to move forward slowly, and he didn't know how many times he fell, his clothes and pants were torn, his body was covered with mud, his hands and legs were bumped with many wounds, and blood dripped down his arms and legs.

Fortunately, they haven't encountered poisonous insects, snakes and ants yet, in this dark cave, there are their hiding places everywhere, any one of them is not something that Tang Xuan can resist now, luck is a fluke, he is not out of danger yet, he must not be careless, he must leave here as soon as possible to avoid unknown things.

Tang Xuan encouraged himself, and continued to move along the cave, relying on the faint light of the fireflies, nervously and with difficulty, he didn't know where this cave led, Tang Xuan felt that the cave was bottomless, and the more he walked, the more terrifying it became, how long would it take to see the light.

The further he went, the more difficult it became to walk, and then he had to cling to the wall of the cave, and crawl slowly on all fours, or else he would slide down, and he did not know how long he had been walking like this, and when he had climbed a steep slope, he finally saw a faint light.

Seeing this light, he suddenly came to his senses, mustered up the courage to crawl forward, but fortunately, the terrain calmed down after a while, and he no longer had to crawl so hard, the light was approaching little by little, and after a long time, he finally approached the light.

At this time, he was excited, having light meant that there was a way out, and if there was light, he could live, Tang Xuan quickened his pace and walked towards that light. When he got closer, it turned out to be a stone door, there was a gap in the middle of the stone door, and the light was transmitted from here, Tang Xuan wiped the blood on his forehead, calmed down, and then pushed towards the stone door with all his strength, the stone door was extremely heavy, and he used all his strength to reluctantly push the stone door open a gap that could allow him to pass through.

Tang Xuan poked his head out and looked inside, feeling that there was no danger inside, so he cautiously walked through this stone door.

When he passed through the stone gate, the first thing that caught his eye was a bead that was the size of a fist, this bead was milky white, and the light emitted was extremely soft, and Tang Xuan's fatigue dissipated a lot at this moment.

"Well, it turns out that the light came from this bead." Tang Xuan looked at the beads hanging high in the cave and muttered to himself.

Tang Xuan looked at this bead and lost his mind a little, he woke up after a while, and then he was not calm when he thought about it, this bead could shine in such a dark environment, it must be extraordinary, could it be that this is the legendary night pearl?

Ah, the pearl of the night.... It's incredible, buddy, this luck is bursting, isn't it really a catastrophe and there will be a blessing if you don't die? But the next moment, he lost his temper in an instant, for no other reason, this bead was hanging high in the air, unless he could fly, he could only be addicted, and he was not out of danger.

Tang Xuan looked at the cave with some unwillingness, and the place that came into his eyes was about a space of more than a thousand square meters, and the glowing bead in the center of it illuminated the entire space clearly, the cave was extremely empty, surprisingly quiet, Tang Xuan seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.

The space of the cave is very high, there should be at least more than 30 meters by sight, there is a stone table not far away, there are four stone benches around the stone table, there is a set of purple sand teapots on the stone table, and there is a stone bed not far away, and there seems to be nothing else else.

Seeing this, Tang Xuan hurriedly came to the stone table under curiosity, leaned over to admire this set of purple clay pots, and saw that there were some tadpole characters engraved on the top and bottom of the purple sand pot, and he didn't recognize what these words were after staring at them for a long time, but he felt that these words were faintly ancient, vicissitudes and mysterious atmosphere.

Suddenly, he felt a little dizzy, and in a panic, he held on to the stone table with both hands so that he didn't fall to the ground, and then he closed his eyes, not daring to look at these words anymore, it took a long time to feel better, Tang Xuan thought to himself that this place was really weird everywhere.

Tang Xuan left the stone table, came to the stone bed a few meters away, touched it, and found that there was no dust on his hands, the stone bed was very clean, there was not a trace of dust, could it be that this place has always been inhabited? The strange thing is that the stone bed is empty, and if there are people living in it, they will at least have to eat, drink, and sleep, but there is nothing to be seen here except this stone bed and tables and stools, which is strange?

If he can't figure it out, he doesn't want to, Tang Xuan turned around blindly in the stone mansion, and found that the entire cave mansion was in a round shape, surrounded by smooth stone walls like mirrors, and when he got closer, the stone walls looked like someone had polished them, and the tentacles touched them as smooth as a mirror, and then found that the entire huge stone wall was so smooth and flat, and he was amazed in his heart. How could it be possible to polish such a tall and hard stone wall so smooth and bright, this is by no means the handiwork of human beings.

Looking at the stone wall, Tang Xuan couldn't help but lose his mind a little. Suddenly, a golden light flashed from inside the smooth stone wall, and this light flashed away, Tang Xuan hurriedly stared at the stone wall, hoping to see those golden lights again.

Sure enough, after a few breaths, he saw the golden light flash away again, this time he looked carefully, it was a golden swastika, this rune emitted a faint golden light, giving people a very warm and comfortable feeling.

Tang Xuan looked carefully along the stone wall, and found that the stone wall was covered with golden swastika characters, standing in front of the stone wall, he felt that the runes seemed to have life, swimming and shuttling in the stone wall, touching it with his hands, he could actually feel the feeling of the runes flowing through his fingertips, just like flowing water, and it was interesting to experience it carefully.

It took Tang Xuan a long time to finish checking this stone wall, what made him a little depressed was that except for the runes on the stone wall that were a little strange, he didn't find any way out, only the stone gate that he had just entered was still open, if he went back, he might not be able to find a way out, let's look for it first, if it really doesn't work, he can only return the same way.

Tang Xuan was like a headless fly, and he carefully checked it in the huge stone cave, and he didn't know how long it was, he never found the way out, except for the stone wall or the stone wall, he even knocked on the stone wall one by one with his hands, hoping for a miracle, but there was no miracle, but his hands were swollen.

For a long time, disappointment and unwillingness enveloped Tang Xuan, he felt that his throat was dry and thirsty, he was about to smoke, his stomach was rumbling, he was tired, hungry and thirsty, he couldn't wait to eat and drink a lot now, and then sleep again.

In a daze, he came to the stone table, sat on the stone bench, his throat was thirsty, and when he saw the purple clay pot on the stone table, he picked it up, shook it and felt that there was still a lot of water in it, so he didn't think about it. Gollum...", he drank.

Tang Xuan drank all the water in the pot in one go, and then he was satisfied, and then he smacked his mouth, made a sound, and muttered to himself: "Ahhh Ha.. I'm so thirsty, well, yes, sweet and delicious......."

When he was still reminiscing about the delicacy that could not be described in words, Tang Xuan suddenly felt a cramping pain in his stomach, and then the pain of turning over the river and the sea, the cold sweat on his forehead dripped down in large pieces, and he hunched over and pressed his stomach tightly, but this was useless, and the pain became more and more intense.

Suddenly, I could only hear a loud "bang", but it was Tang Xuan who fell to the ground, and then he rolled and roared, this was not an ordinary pain, he felt that his stomach was melting little by little, and it was very fast, and then spread to the lower abdomen, and then it was all over the body, he only felt that he was about to die, and after a while, his vision became blurred, his body curled up into a ball and twitched on the ground, and he fainted after a while.

Tang Xuan's body was undergoing earth-shaking changes at this time, his skin and internal organs were bursting and dissolving at an extremely fast speed, every inch of his skin was like this, his whole body was dripping with blood, and his hair was falling out to the ground. Where is there still the appearance of a person, more terrifying than the powerful ghosts and demons, if anyone sees it, they will definitely retreat and vomit for three days.

At this moment, the surrounding stone wall suddenly flourished, and the swastikas seemed to have induction, peeling off the stone wall one after another, and flew towards Tang Xuan's bursting body, these golden runes were like a swarm of bees, burrowing into his body, bones, internal organs, and head, and every inch of skin on his body was covered by this golden rune, and the body that was originally bursting and dissolving quickly was repairing at an extremely fast speed. However, as soon as it was repaired, various parts of the body began to burst again.

The runes in the stone wall were still pouring into Tang Xuan's body like a tide, constantly bursting and dissolving and constantly being repaired by runes, and it took about half an hour for all the runes on the stone wall to pour into Tang Xuan's body.
