Chapter Fifty-Three: Cave Exploration

Walking from the outside in, I cleaned up a lot of scattered zombies along the way, fortunately, I didn't meet mutated zombies, and the crowd was getting more and more comfortable killing zombies under the leadership of Zeng Qiang, and now when they saw zombies, they finally stopped thinking about running away, and even some dared to run after the zombies directly.

Since it is a coal mine, the ground is full of cinders, like a black carpet, and walking on it makes a 'rustling' sound.

A group of people walked in the center of the coal mine dam, the dam is very large, there are more than a dozen large trucks transporting coal parked, the black body can not see the original color, some doors are opened, the seats, windows, and the ground are some broken bones, some bones still have moldy carrion, it looks like they have been gnawed by something, Zeng Qiang and the crowd carefully bypassed these large trucks, quietly approaching a cement building not far in front.

The building is not high, only about three floors, six rooms on each floor, Zeng Qiang opened a room on the first floor at random, the room looked like an office, with a desk, a rotating chair, an inferior sofa, a water dispenser, and documents scattered around.

There is nothing valuable to find in this room, Zeng Qiang sat on the sofa and waited for the search results of Xia Wei and others, since he had subordinates, he felt that there was no need to do everything himself, and it was appropriate to relax properly.

"Brother Qiang, I've seen it all, the whole small building is empty, the first floor is the office area, and the second and third floors are the workers' dormitories. The dormitory was also empty, and there was not even a quilt. Xia Wei came to Zeng Qiang and reported the search results.

"Are there any valuable discoveries?" Zeng Qiang lit a cigarette and also gave Xia Wei one.

Xia Wei hurriedly took the cigarette and lit it, took a puff and said: "What is special is that there are many bones in the dormitory, all human bones, but the strange thing is that the meat on these bones is gone, as if they have been eaten clean." ”

It's weird, Zeng Qiang has had an indescribable feeling since he came to this mine, and he always feels that something is wrong.

Zeng Qiang was about to speak, Wang Xin ran in from outside with the big yellow dog, shouting: "Husband, the big yellow dog led me to the back of the mine, I found a lot of footprints from the entrance of the mine, do you think there will be someone hiding inside?" ”

Wang Xin's words made Zeng Qiang's heart move, maybe someone is really hiding in the mine, and it is not necessarily?

Most mine caves are very deep and twisted, so it's a good place to hide from zombies.

The length of the whole valley is only two or three kilometers, the valley is in the shape of a flask, the entrance is narrow, the inside is slightly larger, about the size of two or three football fields, surrounded by mountains, but it is only four or five hundred meters high.

The only exit from the valley was where Zeng Qiang and the others had entered, a stream flowed out of a mine at the foot of a mountain, the land on both sides of the stream was relatively fertile, and now it was overgrown with weeds, and it was believed that as long as it was cleared, it could be planted with grain, and it should not be a problem to feed more than 100 people.

Zeng Qiang is generally satisfied with the current location of the coal mine, as long as the entrance is guarded, he can stay in the valley and live in peace.

Zeng Qiang took a group of people to the place where Wang Xin said, here near the inner mountain wall, there are five mines, each mine looks about the same size, the holes of the mines have been plastered with cement, and reinforced with steel supports, the mountains around the mine have been bulldozed, a lot of coal shovels are parked outside the hole, and rails are placed at each hole to facilitate the entry and exit of forklifts.

There were many messy footprints at the entrance of the middle hole, and the entrance of the cave was half blocked with mud, and Zeng Qiang also saw that there were some human bones outside the hole, and the meat on it was also gnawed clean.

He felt that there should be still living people inside, but the entrance of the cave was broken through by something, and he didn't know how many people were still alive.

Zeng Qiang instructed Li Ying and Xia Wei to settle the old and weak women and children, and he decided to take Wang Xin, Big Yellow Dog, Zhang Peng and other seven or eight brave men who killed zombies into the cave to investigate.

Living or not, he had decided to make the entire coal mine his base, so all hidden dangers had to be eliminated.

Zeng Qiang asked Zhang Peng to light a few torches, leaving one person to guard the entrance of the cave, and leading the rest of the people towards the cave.

As soon as he entered the cave, Zeng Qiang saw some things clearly, there were a lot of barricades in it, but they were all dirt, stones and cinders, most of which were destroyed by something, and there were a lot of stinky zombie corpses among them, some of the corpses seemed to have been broken by external forces, in the shape of twisted flowers, and some corpses had no heads directly, and the fractures of the necks were uneven, as if they had been bitten by something.

"Be careful, there might be some monster here."

After Zeng Qiang finished speaking, he began to check his weapons, and if he had a gun, he would load the gun, and if he didn't have a gun, he would hold the axe in his hand tightly, and it would be better to be cautious in the face of unknown existence.

Zeng Qiang let the big yellow dog walk in front, the big yellow dog's nose is very smart, and when there is danger, it can always be detected in advance, and the group is very quiet, except for the sound of feet stepping on cinders.

After turning a corner, Zeng Qiang found that the hole in front of him was very narrow, and the hole was full of wooden piles for reinforcement, and some raw coal was piled up in the corner of the wall.

In some places, only one person can pass through on his waist, and although there are torches, the visibility in the cave is still very low, and the ground is uneven, so everyone walks very carefully.

Zeng Qiang walked carefully behind the big yellow dog, Wang Xin, Zhang Peng and others followed closely behind, and then walked more than ten meters away, but still did not see a living person, not even a zombie.

"Husband, I'm so scared." Wang Xin's tone trembled.

"If you're afraid, you can go out, anyway, it's not long since you came in, and it's not far to go back." Zeng Qiang actually didn't want Wang Xin to be in danger, and he had the intention not to let her in, but he knew Wang Xin's temper, and she always kept an inch from herself since the incident at the farmers' market.

"Don't! It's not safe to go anywhere by your side. Sure enough, Wang Xin insisted on following Zeng Qiang's side.

Zeng Qiang took a deep breath, the air in the mine was very turbid, and there was even an unpleasant smell of coke, which made him feel panicked.

He took a deep breath, trying to relax his tense mood, which had been tensing his nerves, making him feel extremely tired.

Suddenly, his feet slipped, and Zeng Qiang felt that his body was falling downward.

The torch in Zeng Qiang's hand suddenly flew out unsteadily, he kept sliding down the slope, and the feeling that his body couldn't stop made him feel very uneasy, but he was cursing in his heart that the big yellow dog had a slope and didn't know the warning,

It was dark all around, and he couldn't see everything around him clearly, and there was Wang Xin's shouting and the barking of the big yellow dog above his head......
