Tomb Robbery: Successor to the King, starting in Yunnan Worm Valley

Chapter 340 Deserted Town
  The dark atmosphere in front looks more like the atmosphere of a cemetery or something like that.

Wang Ye frowned, and at this moment the shouts of Hu Bayi and others came from the road behind.

It was starting to get dark, and we were still two or three kilometers away from the edge of Qingxi Town.

Everyone still has to hurry up and hurry up.

Otherwise, it will definitely be difficult to handle at night.

Wang Ye quickly returned to the right path from the weeds. The group continued walking forward.

This time, the girl also walked slowly.

Obviously much more cautious than during the day.

That thing just now also shocked my sister.

After walking for about half an hour, Mo Meier finally pointed to the front and said.

"We're here. Qingxi Town is ahead. I recognize the water tower at the entrance of the town."

Wang Ye walked to Mo Meier and looked forward.

In the vast twilight,
  A strangely quiet town, hidden in a valley.

The whole town looked like it was asleep.

There was no light at all.

It was empty without anyone.

Because it has been abandoned for more than ten years, most of the buildings in the town have been covered with vines.

Only a few buildings with more than two floors can still leak out.

Some of the less sturdy buildings had collapsed, revealing the dark rooms inside.

On the main road of the town, the grass has not been completely covered, and some traces of stone roads and cement roads can be seen.

However, there are some places where black holes can be seen directly.

Those should be the mines that collapsed after the town was hollowed out.

Some small animals crawled out of the collapsed mine in the dark night.

Mo Meier was somewhat frightened when she saw the scene in front of her.

Wang Ye patted Mo Meier's shoulder.

"Don't worry, it's just some snakes, insects, rats, and ants. We brought the thing your grandpa made."

Wang Ye said and flashed the Continental Crossbow.

Mo Meier suddenly felt relieved.

Wang Ye took out an imported wolf-eye flashlight directly from the system space and handed it to Yao Meier.

Mo Meier finally relaxed a little.

The group continued moving forward.

Yao Mei'er finally started to get excited little by little when she saw the familiar sight.

But Wang Ye felt a little uneasy.

This town feels particularly weird.

After walking a few hundred meters, Wang Ye finally knew what was strange.

This town is so quiet.

Even if many places are abandoned, they will become a world dominated by snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

Nature will make various natural sounds.

But in Qingxi Town, you can still see those small animals and hear some birdsong and insects.

The further inside you go, the quieter the sound becomes.

After walking in for a few hundred meters, it was already eerily quiet.

Wang Ye can say with certainty that there are absolutely not many living creatures that can move within a radius of tens of meters.

Wang Ye couldn't even feel the presence of rats, snakes, or birds.

There aren't even many bugs.

It's impossible to lay out an insect-breaking road halfway in Qingxi Town like the Yunnan Worm Valley.

The only possibility is that the location in the center of the town must have had something strange happen when it was deserted.

Otherwise, as a town with a history of thousands of years and thousands of people living there, there would be garrison troops here to build many large-scale three-defense projects.

It is impossible to say that it is deserted.

The amount and cost of this project may be affordable by future generations in another thirty or forty years.

But ten years ago, in that era, it was hard to imagine.

There must have been some good reason for people to make the decision to abandon their homes. This reason is definitely not a good thing.

There is only Mo Meier, a local here, and Wang Ye can only ask Mo Meier if she remembers what happened here before Qingxi Town was moved.

My sister was five or six years old back then.

I remember it late, and my memory is still blurry.

Yao Meier obviously remembers things relatively early, and she still has some impressions.

But I can only remember a hazy scene.

I just remember that there was a huge sound like an earthquake in the town.

There was also billowing smoke like fire rising from the ground.

Many adults and children were so frightened that they hurried out of the town.

Many people in green military uniforms rushed inside.

But they all withdrew soon afterwards.

Some people who were very courageous and reluctant to part with the pigs, sheep, chickens and other property they raised at home had the courage to go back, but most of them never came out again.

Those wearing green military uniforms also entered again later.

It's just that they all went in with guns, some big guys she didn't know, and masks like pig noses.

My sister still remembers hearing the rumbling explosions coming from the town.

The sound of the explosion was different from the sound of the mountain exploding in the mines outside the town. It was more crisp.

But the panic only lasted for about a day or two.

At first people set up tents outside the town.

Then we started to retreat outside.

Getting further and further away from town.

I often hear about someone missing from someone’s house at night.

There were cries all over the town.

Finally, many cars came and picked up everyone in the town.

After Wang Ye heard this, his mouth twitched slightly.

Behind the desolation of Qingxi Town back then, I'm afraid things were not that simple.

If there is no obvious deviation in Mo Meier's memory, the reason why Qingxi Town was moved as a whole was definitely not because the underground mines were mined out.

Geological disasters such as overall subsidence.

Geological disasters such as subsidence occur more often near coal and iron mines in North and Northeast China.

The terrain in those places is flat and the soil is deep.

After the underground is hollowed out, there is no more surface precipitation and groundwater replenishment, and the mining area is particularly prone to collapse.

Qingxi Town is a mountainous area in the southwest.

There are mountains everywhere and the soil layer is very thin.

There is stone underneath, so overall settlement of the address conditions is unlikely to occur.

In addition, this place has been a mining area for thousands of years, and the location and direction of the mine are not directly below Qingxi Town.

When the ancients were mining and building towns, they would also avoid mining areas and keep a certain distance.

The real mining area is still a few kilometers away from Qingxi Town.

The southwest has a lot of karst landforms.

It is not unusual for a cave to appear.

There won't be a cave collapse somewhere, so the whole thing will be relocated.

Even if you have to relocate, it won't happen overnight.

Desolation is definitely a process that lasts for several years or even more than ten years.

All this is different from what happened in Qingxi Town.

Qingxi Town was abandoned in a very short period of time and the residents were evacuated.

There are also engineers working on local projects.

So the most likely possibility is that a catastrophic accident occurred here.

The accident that caused the entire Qingxi Town to be relocated in a short period of time was definitely a serious disaster.

And it's out of control.
