Chapter 38: Getting there first? First exploration of the ruins!
Stop walking, Somo began to look around.
Following the way he came, lying on the ground, Somo felt an obvious ups and downs.
"If I guessed correctly, the place I am in should be a basin"
I am three kilometers away, looking at the road I came from, the distance has become blurry , the horizon hides part of the scenery.
Looking west, you can clearly feel the slope of the terrain rising.
After looking around carefully, Sumo found the location of the ruins.
"Is this where the prehistoric ruins are?"
This is a terrain that is almost the same as a shelter.
There is also a small hill where the underground ruins are located. Around the hill, due to the terrain, there is no perfect drainage facility, resulting in the accumulation of large areas of water.
Of course, if there is no map mark and the existence of ruins, choosing this place as the foundation of the shelter, and adding pipes to dredge the water, will also be an excellent place to build a shelter.
“Woof woof woof!”
Oreo withdrew from a distance and asked his owner’s opinion.
Due to heavy rain for more than a day, the water near the ruins was very deep, and even Oreo was wearing a raincoat, it was difficult to get through.
Looking at Oreo’s fearful expression, Sumo said without hesitation:
"We must explore this shelter. This is the only treasure spot we know of near us. You wait for me here while I wait for the next person to come over."
"Woof?"
O Leo wagged his tail, not wanting to be separated from his master.
Lowering down and rubbing Oreo's dog head, Sumo comforted:
"Don't worry, just keep watch for the master outside. The acid rain inside is very scary. Once you touch it,"
"Hiss! Your hair will be gone!"
Orio, who was still eager to try, was suddenly startled by Somo. His eyes revealed a feeling of fear, grievance and reluctance. He could only He squatted there honestly and shook his big, supple tail.
Standing up, Somo took a deep breath, took out his raincoat from the storage space, and began to put it on.
The fluid raincoat did not hinder normal activities at all. After checking that there was no damage or leakage, Somo began to walk forward step by step, dripping with water.
At this time, we are still about two hundred meters away from where the hill is.
The water level has already reached the top of the feet.
To be cautious, Somo decided to walk around to the back of the hill and try to explore in a direction that was not prone to water accumulation.
The soil in the plains was not solid to begin with, but it turned into thin mud under the influence of rainwater.
Every time Somo stepped down, it was very difficult for him to walk.
Sometimes even the lower half of the leg gets stuck in, and it takes a lot of effort to pull it out.
There was water flowing all the way, and we walked for about 20 minutes before walking out for about 150 meters.
As the terrain increases, the soil begins to become harder and the stagnant water gradually disappears.
However, the numerous footprints on the ground made Sumo feel nervous.
These footprints look very "fresh", and the shape can be clearly seen under the erosion of heavy rain.
There are footprints that are branched into two toes, and there are also a whole piece of cat footprints.
Occasionally, a few hairs can be seen in the cracks in the soil.
Squatting on the ground, Somo carefully picked up the hair from the cracks in the ground and looked at it carefully.
"It does look like the fur of a feline. This flexibility is definitely not that of an ordinary animal."
With an uneasy heart, Sumo clicked on the game panel and pressed Today The second Monster Manual.
【No mutant beasts detected within a kilometer radius of the player】
[Today’s count 1/3]
“Strange, logically speaking, cats should have a very strong sense of territory. If they can come here, there is no reason to say that this is not their territory.”
Cats use paw scratches and urine to mark the boundaries of their territories, and also to tell other animals when they pass by to avoid conflicts due to accidental encounters.
After looking around, Sumo shook his head and found no nearby marking point. "Is this blood?"
Touching the side of the hill, Sumo suddenly discovered a pool of blood that had been blended into the earth.
He lowered his head and smelled the ground. In addition to the fishy smell of soil after rainy days, he could smell a trace of blood.
And there are still a lot of hairs near the blood stains.
And
a bombarded place.
"What is this? Damn it, was this bombed by a grenade?"
The further we walked toward the side of the hill, the more traces of animals there were.
After walking around to the left, Sumo was shocked to find that there was a scorched black mark on the ground.
The grass next to the trace is still green, but in the center of the trace there is no grass.
This place that was bombarded is extremely abnormal. Calculated according to the spread diameter of the explosion point in the center, it is only about 50cm.
Moreover, the ground was not blown up, which was very unreasonable for fixed-point blasting explosives or hand-thrown grenades.
A bad feeling came from Somo's heart.
Walking quickly back to the middle of the hill, walking along the highest point, until almost to the end, there were several more traces of bombardment.
And at the very front, a large black hole was blasted.
“???”
"Has someone climbed in first?"
Taking out a flashlight from the storage space, turning on the light, Somo looked into the cave.
From the cave to the ground, it is about four meters high, which is similar to the height of the shelter. The buildings here give Somo a familiar feeling.
“Why do I feel such a strong sense of familiarity? Are you sure this is not a refuge for humans?”
If this was an RPG game, countless people would surely float out of Soma’s head. A question mark.
Go down and explore?
After a bold idea emerged from Sumo's heart, he suddenly became crazy.
Everything here is too strange. The inexplicable feline hair, several fixed-point and small-area bombardments, and the design structure similar to the human refuge have all given this underground ruins a layer of mystery. coat.
After opening the storage space and searching for a while, Sumo decided to use the most primitive method, weaving hemp rope.
It is more than four meters high. It is easy to jump down but difficult to get up.
Somo took out two units of plant fiber, sat in the hole, and began to weave hemp rope seriously.
After repeatedly winding several strands of tough plant fibers and moving them down, it took Somo less than twenty minutes to weave a grass rope about three meters long.
Take out two units of iron blocks, place them on the ground, tie a section of hemp rope to the iron blocks, and a simple up and down device is completed.
At this moment, Sumo was extremely grateful that he had joined the DIY handicraft club in college.
Otherwise, this simple job would be quite difficult for ordinary people to do.
After everything was cleaned up, Sumo tried to take out small stones and throw them around. After confirming that there were no traps, he began to explore the ruins for the first time.
I have seen a lot of tomb robbing in novels, but it is difficult to actually do it.
Biting the flashlight in his mouth in embarrassment, Somo grabbed the rope and began to slide down.
The rough touch brought by plant fibers greatly enhanced the friction when sliding down. Every time he slid down, Somo had to spend a lot of effort to catch it.
When there was only one meter left, Somo's hands dispersed and his whole body fell naturally to the ground.
He had been holding his breath for a long time when he was exerting himself. As soon as he recovered, Somo gasped for air.
But when he raised his head and looked ahead with the help of the flashlight, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
A person (×)
A skeleton (√)
Although I just picked up five gangsters last night, at this moment, watching them fall to the ground The skull looked at him crookedly.
A blast of cold air hit him from behind.
