Chapter 38: Getting There First? First Exploration of the Ruins!

Stopped and began to look around. Google search reading

Following the way he came, lying on the ground, Su Mo felt a clear sense of ups and downs.

"If I'm not mistaken, the place where I am should be a basin"

Three kilometers away, looking at the way he came, the distance has become blurred, and the horizon hides part of the scenery.

Looking to the west, you can clearly feel that the terrain slope is rising.

After a careful look around, Su Mo found the place where the ruins are located.

"Is this where the prehistoric ruins are located?"

This is a terrain that is almost the same as the shelter.

A small hill also bulged where the underground ruins are located. Around the hill, due to the terrain, there is no perfect drainage facility, resulting in a large amount of accumulated water.

Of course, if there is no map marking and the existence of the ruins, choosing this place as the foundation of the shelter, and using pipes to dredge the accumulated water, it is also an excellent place to build a shelter.

"Woof woof woof!"

Oreo retreated from a distance and asked the owner for his opinion.

Because of the heavy rain for more than a day, the water near the ruins was very deep, and even Oreo wearing a raincoat could hardly wade through it.

Seeing Oreo's fearful expression, Su Mo said without hesitation:

"We must explore this shelter. This is the only treasure spot we know of nearby. You wait here for me, and I will wait for the next person to go over."

"Woof?"

Oreo shook his tail and didn't want to be separated from his master.

Bending down and rubbing Oreo's head, Su Mo comforted him:

"Don't worry, keep watch for the master outside. The acid rain inside is terrible. Once you touch it..."

"Hiss! Your hair will be gone!"

Oreo, who was still eager to try, was suddenly frightened by Su Mo. His eyes revealed a feeling of fear, grievance and reluctance. He could only squat in place and shake his soft tail honestly.

Standing up, Su Mo took a deep breath, took out a raincoat from the storage space, and began to wear it.

The fluid-type raincoat did not hinder normal activities at all. After checking that there were no damaged or leaking places, Su Mo began to walk forward step by step.

At this time, it was about 200 meters away from the hill.

The water level line had already submerged the ankles.

For the sake of caution, Su Mo decided to go around, around the back of the hill, and try to explore from the direction where water was not easy to accumulate.

The soil on the plain was not solid to begin with, and it all turned into mud under the impact of rain.

Every time Su Mo stepped down, he had a hard time walking.

Sometimes even half of his leg would sink in, and he had to work hard to pull it out.

He walked all the way in the water for more than 20 minutes before he walked about 150 meters.

As the terrain rose, the soil began to become hard, and the accumulated water gradually disappeared.

However, the scattered footprints on the ground made Su Mo feel nervous.

These footprints looked very "fresh", and under the impact of heavy rain, the shapes could still be clearly seen.

Among them, there are footprints that fork into two toes, and there are also footprints of cats.

Occasionally, a few hairs can be seen in the cracks of the soil.

Squatting on the ground, Su Mo carefully picked up the hair in the cracks and looked at it carefully.

"It does look like the hair of a cat. This flexibility is definitely not an ordinary animal."

With an uneasy heart, Su Mo opened the game panel and pressed the monster illustration for the second time today.

[No mutant beasts were detected within a thousand meters of the player]

[Today's number 1/3]

"Strange, it stands to reason that cats should have a strong sense of territory. It doesn't make sense to say that this is not their territory if they can come here."

Cats use claw scratches and urine to mark the boundaries of their territory, and also to tell other animals when they pass by, so as to avoid conflicts caused by accidental encounters.

After looking around, Su Mo shook his head and did not find any nearby marking points.

"Is this blood?"

Touching the side of the hill, Su Mo discovered a pool of blood red that had merged into the soil.

He lowered his head and smelled the ground. In addition to the stench of the soil after the rain, he could smell a hint of blood.

And near the bloodstains, there were still a lot of hairs.

And

A bombardment site.

"What is this? Shit, was it bombed by a grenade?"

The further you go to the side of the hill, the more animal traces you will find.

After going around to the left, Su Mo was shocked to find that there was a charred mark on the ground.

The grass next to the mark was still green, but there was no grass in the center of the mark.

This bombardment site was extremely abnormal. According to the diffusion diameter of the explosion point in the center, it was only about 50cm.

In addition, the ground was not blown up, which was very unreasonable for the explosives for point-to-point blasting or hand-held grenades.

A bad feeling came from Su Mo's heart.

He walked quickly back to the middle of the hill, along the highest point, and when he was almost at the end, he saw several traces of bombardment.

And in the front, a dark hole was blasted out.

"???"

"Has someone got there first?"

He took out a flashlight from the storage space, turned on the light, and looked into the cave.

From the hole to the ground, it is about four meters high, similar to the height of the shelter. The buildings here give Su Mo a sense of familiarity.

"Why do I feel so familiar? Are you sure this is not a human shelter?"

If this is an RPG game, countless question marks will float above Su Mo's head.

Go down and explore?

After a bold idea came out of Su Mo's mind, it suddenly grew wildly.

Everything here is too strange, the inexplicable cat hair, several small-scale bombardments at fixed points, and the design structure similar to that of a human shelter, all give this underground ruins a mysterious coat.

After opening the storage space and searching for a while, Su Mo decided to use the most primitive method, weaving hemp rope.

More than four meters high, it is easy to jump down, but difficult to come up.

Taking out two units of plant fiber, sitting in the hole, Su Mo began to weave hemp rope seriously.

After winding several strands of tough plant fibers repeatedly and going down, it took less than 20 minutes for Su Mo to weave a grass rope about three meters long.

He took out two iron blocks, put them on the ground, tied a section of the hemp rope to the iron block, and a simple up and down device was completed.

At this moment, Su Mo was extremely glad that he joined the DIY craft club in college.

Otherwise, this simple job would be a bit difficult for ordinary people to do.

After everything was packed up, Su Mo tried to take out small stones and throw them around. After confirming that there was no mechanism, he began to explore the ruins for the first time.

I have seen a lot of tomb robbery in novels, but it is difficult to operate in reality.

Su Mo bit the flashlight in his mouth awkwardly, grabbed the rope and began to slide down.

The rough touch brought by the plant fiber greatly enhanced the friction when sliding down. Every time he slid down, Su Mo had to spend a lot of effort to hold on.

When there was only one meter left, Su Mo's hands were full of strength, and the whole person naturally fell to the ground.

Su Mo held his breath for a long time when he was exerting himself, and as soon as he relaxed, he immediately gasped for air.

But when he raised his head and looked forward with the help of the flashlight, he couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.

A person (×)

A skeleton (√)

Although he had just dealt with five gangsters last night, at this moment, when he saw the skull that fell to the ground and tilted its head to look at him.

A gust of cold air blew from behind.
