Ye Qing walked in front with a submachine gun on his back and a fire ax in his hand to explore the way. Jiang Yan walked behind with a backpack on her back as usual.

The road at the beginning can only accommodate two adults, but it is rugged and difficult to walk.

As they walked further in, some black stalagmites of varying heights and scattered boulders appeared in their field of vision.

It looks natural, but if you look closely, there are still traces of artificial carving in the later period.

In some places with steep slopes, some steps have been built along the way.

As for some protruding stalagmites beside the main road, they have been touched and patinated by people passing by.

Not only is it smooth, but it also has some faint light.

With only Ye Qing left by her side, Jiang Yan had much less worries.

After walking for a while, she took something out of her backpack and actually took out a strong flashlight from the space.

Ye Qing also held the hand-cranked rechargeable flashlight in his hand, but the light was very dim, which was better than nothing.

The two of them walked slowly and quietly along the main road in tandem. They didn't go far when they found an obvious fork in the road.

One goes up and one goes down.

Jiang Yan swept her flashlight up and down, and her gaze paused below.

Not far away, in the narrow gap between two natural mountain walls, there is a plank road made of tree branches.

Those branches are all wrist-thick, and the side branches have been cut off and are crooked.

They originally came here to find wood.

If all the branches on the plank road were removed and brought back, it would be enough for them to burn for a while.

There were actually a lot of dead trees and wooden boards floating in the water outside, but they were too wet to burn.

"down."

"kindness."

The two stopped and looked at each other for a moment, and made up their minds in unison.

When she got closer, Jiang Yan discovered that under the thin plank road, there was actually a very deep ravine formed by nature.

Judging from the light and shadow reflected by the flashlight, there should be water inside.

The ravine is very deep and gradually narrowing.

If a person falls, the probability of surviving is almost zero.

Jiang Yan didn't know the significance of building such a plank road here. After all, at the end of the plank road was a naturally formed stone seam as wide as a palm.

The crack in the stone spans across the dome and leads nowhere.

This suddenly reminded her of those tomb-robbing novels she had read before.

But just for a fleeting moment, she put her thoughts back.

"Jiang Yan, you stay here and I'll go up." Ye Qing handed Jiang Yan the submachine gun he was carrying.

He also held a fire ax in his hand. The branches were directly stuck on the stone walls on both sides, so it was not difficult to remove them.

Just to remove those branches, you have to go to the end of the plank road and then pull them back one by one backwards.

Jiang Yan glanced at the bottomless ravine and said, "How about I go? I'm light, so you can drag me up there."

"It's okay. I'll test the load-bearing strength of the branch first." Ye Qing knew what she was worried about. After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves, raised one foot and stepped on it slowly.

The branches under my feet creaked and sank slightly, then stabilized.

This branch can bear enough weight.

Ye Qing also stood very skillfully, spreading his legs as far as possible to spread the pressure as much as possible.

Jiang Yan had no choice but to take out a rope from her backpack and ask him to tie it to her body in case of emergency.

The other end of the rope was tied to a nearby stalagmite.

In less than a minute, Ye Qing had already reached the end of the plank road in good shape, and slowly squatted down to bang bang bang bang. The gravel knocked off the edge by the ax flew everywhere, and the faint sound of splashing water could be heard.

Ye Qing moved very neatly, and within a few minutes, he had removed all the branches.

The whole process was uneventful.

Ye Qing, who retreated to the ground, took out a thin ordinary rope from his backpack, and the two of them worked together to tie up the pile of branches.

"Jiang Yan, you said that this area is considered to be on relatively high ground. Isn't there anyone who has fled here?" Ye Qing pressed his legs on the branches and tightened the rope while whispering.

Both of them had been wary before and had barely spoken to each other along the way.

"I don't know. Logically speaking, there should be someone there."

Jiang Yan was also very confused.

There is obviously a way up here.

In the belly of the mountain, it is relatively warm in winter and cool in summer, which is much better than outside.

Just enough to escape the heat and heavy rain.

Judging from the tight fit of the mountain, it seems that it has never experienced an earthquake or anything.

However, several people found no trace of human habitation in the cave outside or along the way, which was indeed a bit strange.

In addition, if there are people living there, these wooden planks that can be used to light fires will not be their turn.

Jiang Yan made a bold guess in her heart:

"Is it possible that the natural disasters experienced by each place are similar? This area has experienced something before, so there are no people left."

According to Song Qian, this mountain peak is hidden in an ancient village.

Come to think of it, the population density is obviously not as good as in the city.

It is not impossible that everything will be lost in some natural or man-made disaster.

"It's not impossible." Ye Qing nodded, his thoughts coincided with hers.

High temperatures and bloody mosquitoes are indeed experienced all over the world.

The reason why we know this is because communications were still functioning normally at that time and everyone could see the latest information.

As for what happened next, what everyone knew was the situation nearby.

So is the whole world experiencing the same disaster at the same time?

unknown.

Or, the whole world will experience the same disaster, but some secondary disasters are obviously different.

As Song Qian said, the situation over at Dongshan is not just as simple as high temperatures, but also severe radiation.

This makes sense.

Dongshan is located on the plateau, and the terrain is high. Before the end of the world, the ultraviolet rays were obviously much higher than those in other plain areas.

But this time, Anming, who was in the earthquake zone, was seriously damaged and obviously much better than Xiangyun where he was at the moment.

"If each place experiences different natural disasters, then after experiencing many natural disasters, survivors will be slowly and invisibly concentrated in certain areas that are most suitable for survival, just like those great migrations in human history around the world. generally.

According to history, those who first occupy a favorable position will most likely become the founders and rulers of the new order. "As Ye Qing spoke, he had already tied the last knot.

Jiang Yan listened to his words and thought about the five private bases Song Qian said.

Ye Qing, who was opposite him, raised his face, looked at her seriously, and lowered his voice a little:

"Jiang Yan, that Song Qian, although he doesn't look like a bad guy, he is a subordinate of Mo Jingsheng at Yaoben base.

That base is somewhat related to the Lieyan Base.

In the next few days when you go to Dongshan, you should be more careful."
