Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 37 Explorers from Earth?

Sitting ten meters away from the entrance of the cave, Xu Xin hugged Ke Ke, quietly waiting for the red gas to disperse.

It's not that he doesn't want to go in, it's that the smell is simply unbearable.

Moreover, Xu Xin was a little worried that the smell was poisonous. Although Xu Xin's body had no other problems except that he was a little weak because he vomited out his dinner, who knew if inhaling too much would have any serious impact on his body.

It's better to be cautious.

Gradually, there is no more red gas floating out of the hole, and the surrounding red is also scattered by the wind.

Xu Xin walked to the entrance of the cave and looked inside. There is still a faint red gas floating in the cave, but it is already very faint, much better than when it just floated out.

After all, the cave is not ventilated, and it is unrealistic to completely diffuse the gas. This is already the best result. Xu Xin sighed and asked Ke Ke, "Are you still going with me?"

Ke Ke froze, hesitated for a moment, nodded her head, and jumped onto Xu Xin's shoulder.

This little guy. Xu Xin touched its head, tied the clothes on its face, gritted its teeth, and entered the cave.

There was a faint red color floating in the passage in the cave, but Xu Xin was surprised to find that the red gas did not fill the entire passage, only the upper part of the cave was still floating.

He tried to bend down, and sure enough, although the air in the lower place still had that weird smell, it was already within the range he could bear.

"It seems that this strange gas is lighter than air. It's easy to handle. The foul-smelling gas inside the iron door should have been released!" Xu Xin bent down and walked forward in the cave, and quickly reached the opened door. The location of the underground iron gate.

Looking inside, there is a square iron passage for only one person to go up and down. An iron ladder is fixed on the wall of the passage, and it goes down to an unknown depth.

The ladder was also full of rust. Xu Xin felt a little apprehensive looking at the passage, but he still stepped on the ladder and began to climb down.

The passage was very long, and Xu Xin crawled step by step. The only sound in the entire underground well-like passage was his footsteps and Coco's humming on his shoulder from time to time.

The little guy was also a little frightened, his limbs tightly clutching the clothes on his shoulders, for fear of accidentally falling off.

"This passage is too long! I won't really go underground!"

The passage was too long, and Xu Xin felt her arms tremble a little. But there is no way, we have already climbed halfway, so we can't give up halfway and climb up again.

Continue to climb down.

I don't know how long it took to climb, but just when Xu Xin felt that he could hardly hold onto the ladder, he finally entered a room.

After climbing down another four or five meters, Xu Xin had already stepped on the ground.

"Finally climbed!" Xu Xin stood on the ground, kneading the muscles on her arms with crossed hands, "How much iron does such a long iron passageway cost!"

While muttering, turning around, Xu Xin began to look around, but the first glance made his pupils shrink suddenly and he gasped.

The whole room was empty. Three of the four walls were made of standard iron plates. There was not even a single window. Only one wall had a very thick and solid door. The door was round, a bit like the door of a vault.

And the first thing he saw was a human-shaped skeleton in shabby clothes leaning against the wall.

"People have been here before!"

Xu Xin was a little shocked. In the depths of the wilderness, there is an underground room that looks like a vault. In this room, there is actually a skeleton!

who is he? Could it be the former survivors? Or the natives of this world?

Xu Xin looked at his clothes carefully. Although the clothes were very tattered for some reason, he could still tell that it was a standard outfit for survival in the wilderness.

Going forward, Xu Xin saw a dirty package next to the skeleton. The package was made of animal skin. I don't know how long it has been placed in the ground. Most of the package's outer skin has fallen off. It looked extremely dilapidated.

"I'm bothering you brother." Xu Xin said silently in her heart, and opened the package.

There was a musty smell in the bundle of hides.

The things inside were quite complicated, so Xu Xin poured out all the things in the package, and began to count the things in detail.

"The rusty and broken multifunctional knife, the empty lighter, and the small flashlight, these are all tools on earth! This man came out to survive in the wilderness, he has all the tools." Xu Xin murmured to himself. Yu said, "But the question is, why would someone come to this world with tools from the earth?"

Ke Ke jumped off his shoulders, clawing at these things with her little paws.

There are even packages of compressed biscuits that have been eaten up.

He picked up the lighter and the flashlight. Although the writing on them was somewhat blurred, and the surface of the flashlight was even cracked, Xu Xin could still see the names and logos engraved on the surface of the product, all of which he could not understand.

He had a little contact with European writing, and this alphabet should be Greek.

He picked up the packaging bag of compressed biscuits again. Although he still couldn't understand the text on the packaging bag, he could still see the vague production date on it, which was April 1980.

The shelf life of ordinary compressed biscuits is about three years. If this person is not eating expired compressed biscuits, it means that he has been dead for at least nearly 40 years!

40 years ago, someone came into this world!

The moon in this world changed from a full moon to a new moon in one day, and the moon was a circle larger than his original world, so he knew that this was definitely not his original world, even though he saw here on Earth now. The goods still have not changed this idea.

Xu Xin felt a chill down her spine now, what kind of secrets does this world hide?

Could it be that someone was sent to this world forty years ago? But how could he have brought something from there?

Looking at the room again, the more Xu Xin looked at it, the more it seemed like a prison.

But even if it is a prison, there are toilets and beds, but it is empty here, except for the ragged skeleton in front of him, there is only a very heavy iron door, and the one above the head that can be opened like a vent. aisle.

There was no diary in the animal skin package for Xu Xin to refer to. He took another look at the skeleton, and found that there was nothing of value except the tattered clothes, which made him a little disappointed.

Think about it too, who is a serious person who keeps a diary?

"Hey!" Ke Ke suddenly called out, looking at the iron wall behind the skeleton.

"What's wrong?" Xu Xin followed Ke Ke's line of sight.

There seemed to be some writing on the iron wall behind the skeleton, but it was blocked by the skeleton, revealing only a little trace of the lettering.

Xu Xin gently moved the skeleton.

Unexpectedly, he just gently pushed it to the side, and the skeleton fell to the side and fell to the ground. The bones were separated and shattered into bones, which made Xu Xin jump back in fright.

And after the skull fell to the ground, it rolled around on the iron ground and returned to Xu Xin's eyes. The skull was facing up to Xu Xin. Stare straight at him.

"Hiss!" Xu Xin gasped.

He used to not believe in ghosts and gods at all, and was not afraid of skeletons, but ever since he came to this world, his worldview has collapsed.

At least the science he knew couldn't explain why he woke up to this world, why plants grew so fast, and why he could get special abilities even by eating a fruit.

In this world, everything is possible, including this skeleton suddenly coming to life.

However, it didn't come alive, it just looked like it was staring straight at Xu Xin.

The iron house was very quiet, and Xu Xin endured the strange feeling in her heart and looked at the wall without any shelter.

There is a string of words engraved on it, which should be carved with a knife, and there are streaks of purple-black stains on the side, which look like dried blood.

But what left Xu Xin speechless was that the words engraved on the wall, like the words on the flashlight and the package of compressed biscuits, were all strange letters.

As a foreign language, Xu Xin has only learned English and some Spanish. Xu Xin can't understand other European languages ​​at all, let alone Greek, the second most difficult language in the world.

"Huh?" Ke Ke tilted his head to look at the writing on the wall, and looked back at the skull on the ground as he couldn't understand anything.

"It's too uncomfortable. I found the clue but I can't understand it." Xu Xin sighed and looked at the heavy door.

Whether this underground exploration can be fruitful depends on what is behind that door.
