Returning to the end of the world before the natural disaster, I emptied the world of supplies

"I know."

Jiang Yan nodded, patted the dust on her hands, stood up and said, "Let's go."

The branch was not light, so the two of them were ready to return to the cave entrance first.

Ye Qing raised his arms and carried the bundle of branches on his back.

Jiang Yan walked forward with his submachine gun and flashlight.

The two of them had just taken two steps forward when a gust of cold wind blew out from an unknown cave.

Along with it, there was a strong, fishy stench.

The stench was like that of a severely decomposed corpse, or that of some large snakes.

"Yue!" Jiang Yan couldn't help but retched even though she was wearing a mask.

"Rustling--" dense sounds scattered in all directions.

Ye Qing frowned slightly and had a bad feeling in his heart: "Jiang Yan, let's go faster and return to the cave entrance first."

"Okay." As Jiang Yan spoke, her pace quickened a bit.

The sound of "rustling" gradually disappeared behind him.

"Jiang Yan, why did I find that there seemed to be some missing stones in the cave." Ye Qing looked around habitually as he walked.

When they came in before, on both sides of the walking path, apart from the stalagmites connected to the ground, there were densely packed black boulders several meters square.

But at this moment, the number of those stones is visible to the naked eye.

The caves are quite open.

"I don't know, let's leave here first." Jiang Yan curled her lips and shone the flashlight directly on the walking passage without stopping for a moment.

She would definitely not tell Ye Qing that those black boulders that looked extremely hard were all taken into the space by her.

Anyway, the space is big enough for everything.

Ye Qing frowned and quickly followed.

When the two returned to the platform at the entrance of the cave, Song Qian and Kong Wu had not returned yet.

The light in the cave became a little darker.

A cold wind began to blow into the cave.

Sun Jingtao and Su Dai were not seen.

From the sounds, the two of them seemed to be killing fish on a boat outside the cave.

At the edge of the cave entrance, there was a pile of wet dead branches.

It should be Sun Jingtao and the others who fished it out of the water.

These branches are damp now, but if the wind blows on the boat for a few days, they may be useful later.

On the open ground in the middle, there is a rectangular stone stove built with gravel blocks.

Under the stone stove, a handful of dead grass and a few dead branches were scattered.

The quantity is not large, it should have been picked up near the platform just now.

On top of the stone stove, a household screen was placed.

At first glance, it looks like a barbecue grill.

From the sounds of Su Dai and his wife talking outside, there is grilled fish to eat tonight.

And according to Song Qian's previous analysis, they would also consume the heaviest fish first.

As for those fried rice, instant noodles, compressed biscuits, etc., save them for last.

Later, when there is no waterway, it will be easier to transport.

"You even dismantled this?" Jiang Yan looked at the screen window and said in surprise.

The wisdom of working people is always endless.

Ye Qing smiled and put down the bundle of wood:

"Well, I took four or five pieces with me. I originally thought that they would be put together to make a fishing trap later. I didn't expect that I actually picked up so many fish on the way today."

Nowadays, it is like returning to primitive society. As long as it can be reused, everyone will basically not let it go.

Not to mention anything else, even Jiang Yan herself was able to collect all those big rocks into the space.

Ye Qing picked up a piece of wood, and with a "snap" sound, the thick piece of wood was cut in half by the fire axe.

Sun Jingtao and Su Dai also came in at this time.

Their faces were red and their bodies smelled fishy.

His hands were also red, but they were probably red from the cold water.

Sun Jingtao rolled up his sleeves and held a stainless steel basin in his hand, in which lay four or five fish that had been killed, cleaned and cut in half.

Su Dai took a plastic bag, which was filled with a large bag of fish roe, swim bladder, etc.

"Jiang Yan, Xiaoye, you are back!"

Su Dai saw the bundle of wood and said excitedly, "You actually found so much firewood, that's amazing!"

"Well, we happened to find a plank road and we demolished it." Ye Qing said.

"Ah, if the plank road is demolished, how will other people walk in the future?" Su Dai stopped abruptly in the middle of her words, and then smiled like a self-deprecation:

"Ahem, look at me, how long has it been? What are you thinking about in the future?"

The others also smiled bitterly for a second.

"Brother Song, haven't they come back yet?" Ye Qing asked while chopping wood.

Su Dai nodded: "Yes."

Sun Jingtao glanced into the cave, and finally refrained from saying some words.

The four of them actually had many doubts that they wanted to discuss in person, but at this moment, it was obviously not the right time.

In just a minute or two, the footsteps and voices of Song Qian and Kong Wu came from the cave.

There was also the dull sound of heavy objects mopping the floor.

Several people turned their heads and saw Song Qian appearing around the corner carrying a raft that was about to fall apart and tied with a hemp rope.

Kong Wu was holding a big bag in his left hand.

Looking at the scattered grass and mud above, it should be a pile of bird's nests or something.

In his right hand, he was holding several scorpions tied with straw ropes.

A bunch of large, arm-long tawny scorpions with translucent shells.

The backs of the scorpions have marks of being pierced by daggers, and the highly poisonous pincers at the tail have also been neatly cut off.

"." Jiang Yan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"You guys have gained a lot!" Su Dai's pupils shrank, and goosebumps suddenly appeared on her hands.

"It's not bad, I encountered everything! We can have extra food tonight! This is Mr. Bei's favorite high-protein food!" Kong Wu put the bag and the scorpion on the ground and said happily.

Ye Qing looked at those huge scorpions and frowned slightly.

Those "rustling" sounds I just heard, if they were made by these scorpions.

The scale and quantity can be imagined.

Sun Jingtao took the raft from Song Qian, looked at the scorpion, and said: "Brother Song, this -"

"There is a high probability that they have mutated. These scorpions are extremely aggressive. We just found many white bones in other caves. They should have come here to take refuge before.

The clothes on his body had not faded much, but all that was left was a pile of bones. "

After Song Qianyan finished speaking briefly and comprehensively, he arranged for Kong Wu to say, "Kong Wu, go to the boat to get some gasoline."

Su Dai was a little puzzled, "Brother Song, we will be grilling fish later and we will use alcohol to light the fire. I'm afraid the gasoline cannot be used for barbecue."

"It's not for barbecue, it's for defense against scorpions." Sun Jingtao on the side glanced at his wife and told her:

"Scorpions are carnivorous animals with a very sensitive sense of smell. They are especially afraid of pungent smells such as paint, gasoline, and kerosene. We will apply gasoline to the entrance of the hole and it should be able to temporarily ward off the scorpions for a while."

It's getting dark outside.

A few people finally found this temporary shelter, so naturally they wouldn't be scared away by a few mutant scorpions.
