They emerged from the tunnel one after another and stepped on the soft snow. Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion at seeing the light of day again. Although they didn't stay in the underground city for a very long time, in such a place where there is no light all year round.
Every minute and every second is a kind of suffering.
After escaping from the trap, Lin Cheng did not give everyone much time to rest. Instead, he rested for a while and then urged them to continue on their way. Although they had returned to the ground, this was after all a post-apocalyptic sinkhole frequented by gnawers.
For the exhausted team, this is not a place to relax and rest.
Under his constant urging, everyone only had time to take a breath and drink some water before they all stood up again, lined up in formation, and started heading back. Lin Cheng's strictness did not make them feel any resistance, because it was not just him,
Others also feel that it is not advisable to stay here for a long time and that leaving as soon as possible is the best option.
The biting cold wind mixed with goose feathers and heavy snow slapped on everyone's cheeks, but no one complained. Compared to the dark underground city with a comfortable temperature, the surface world is cold, but it belongs to humankind's home field after all, and it feels completely different.
Everyone even felt that the biting cold wind was kind of friendly.
After stopping and stopping along the way, it took nearly half a day for the team to finally return to the abandoned office area at the foot of the mountain outside the tiankeng. After arriving here, everyone could finally take a breath, because from here on,
The risk factors have been reduced to a minimum. Although possible sneak attacks by nibblers cannot be avoided, compared to the dangerous situation inside the sinkhole, this place can almost be regarded as a paradise.
After returning from the sinkhole all the way here, the entire team's condition had actually reached its limit. After Lin Cheng checked to confirm that there were no nibblers lurking in the office area, he finally signaled everyone to stop.
Stay here for a temporary rest.
Following his order, everyone in the team, except for Bai Ling, even had Cokes, sat down on the ground with a plop, ignoring the cold snow under their buttocks, and gasped for air.
After traveling non-stop for so long, even Lin Cheng felt a little overwhelmed, let alone Vincent and the others. After sitting on the ground to relax for a while, everyone found a room to tidy up and decided to stay here for the time being.
overnight.
The sky outside has gradually darkened. Before, everyone in the sinkhole had almost no concept of time due to the lack of sunlight. Now that they have finally come out, everyone has finally returned to their normal rhythm of work and rest, and they are all lying staggering in the makeshift room.
In the cleaned room, it didn't take long for people to start snoring one after another.
Looking at these guys who fell asleep without even eating, Lin Cheng smiled helplessly. When he turned around, he saw Bai Ling leaning in the corner next to him, his eyelids opening and closing, obviously very sleepy.
Seeing that the woman was still trying to hold on, Lin Cheng walked to her side, took out a blanket from his bag and covered her body, and said softly: "Stop holding on, go to bed quickly."
After hearing Lin Cheng's persuasion, Bai Ling didn't hold on. He nodded lightly and said, "Okay... I'll get up and change shifts with you later."
"kindness."
Lin Cheng himself was actually very sleepy, but since everyone else had already fallen asleep, he could only leave the vigil work to him. He gently patted Bai Ling on the shoulder, and after she closed her eyes and fell asleep, she left.
He went to the door and opened the door a crack, lit a cigarette and started smoking it.
Although this trip to the apocalyptic sinkhole has ended, Lin Cheng is still filled with many doubts, and most of these doubts are related to Bai Ling. However, considering that she seems to have no idea what happened in the tomb of the gods,
She was so secretive that if she couldn't find an opportunity where she could absolutely guarantee that no third person would hear their conversation, she probably wouldn't say a word to herself.
So Lin Cheng didn't plan to pursue the matter for the time being. Bai Ling would naturally tell him when the time was right. The biggest question before him now was where he should go next.
Vincent has learned from his mouth that his teacher Christopher is probably in Japan at this time. If you want to understand the root cause of the end of the world, apart from going to Japan to find Christopher himself, there is basically no way.
Other options are available.
But when he thought of going to Japan, Lin Cheng felt a headache. Although Japan and China were not far apart, the situation was completely different. As far as he knew, Japan, especially the Kyoto area, had the highest population density in the world.
, and the chain reaction brought about by high-density population is that Kyoto is now likely to have become a real dragon's pond and tiger's den!
Lin Cheng didn't know much about the situation in Japan. He only knew that it was a country with a small land area but a dense population. As for culture or customs, he basically knew nothing about it. In this case,
It would be very disadvantageous for him to go there rashly.
Although he also came in without knowing anything about Eros, after all, Eros is still a vast and sparsely populated country. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to look for trouble here, it is basically impossible to be attacked by a large number of monsters.
Surrounded, but Japan is different. In such a country with extremely high population density, if he is not careful at all, he may be drowned by the endless sea of corpses, and he may not even have a chance to struggle.
So he was still in a dilemma about whether to go to Japan or not. Bai Ling also knew about his worries, so she didn't give him any advice on this matter. She obviously planned to wait for him to figure it out and make a decision on his own, and she
Just follow his decision and act.
After thinking for a while, feeling a little upset and agitated, Lin Cheng shook his head and decided not to think about it for the time being, and planned to wait until the Eros matter was completely settled.
"Woooo..."
The cold wind blew into the house along the crack of the open door, causing waves of wind sounds like ghosts howling. Lin Cheng smoked cigarettes one after another at the vent to force himself to stay awake and not let himself fall asleep.
Three hours had passed while he was sleeping, and there were already more than a dozen cigarette butts piled up at his feet. When he realized what he was doing, he was shocked.
"Brother, wouldn't he be killed by a monster but end up dying of lung cancer?"
Looking at the large number of cigarette butts piled up on the ground, Lin Cheng couldn't help but have such a thought in his mind, but the thought just passed by and disappeared. With his strength reaching his level, ordinary tobacco and alcohol would hardly harm him.
No matter how much you smoke or drink, you will never get sick from it, which can be regarded as a disguised benefit.
