My apocalyptic heroine has come true

As long as no mutant spiders enter from here... Xia Xiaochi will have a much smoother journey whether entering or returning.

"Be careful when you come back. Since this road is only for exiting but not entering, it means that no spiders have walked on the way back, so it should be very difficult." Fang Ming pressed the microphone and said.

Xia Xiaochi clapped his hands: "No problem!"

If it were in the past, Xia Xiaochi really had no confidence in his climbing skills.

But now, she has a pair of shockwave gloves specially used for climbing!

Xia Xiaochi tried it at home just now. The gloves have a strong adsorption force. Not to mention Xia Xiaochi's own weight, even when she is under weight, the gloves can hold her firmly.

Seeing her so confident, Fang Ming felt relieved.

The equipment refreshed in this store is also very thoughtful.

Basically, they can all be used.

"GO, GO, GO!"

In a moment, Xia Xiaochi was fully armed.

She carried on her back a 45-kilogram nitrate frosting bomb, which was equal to her own weight.

The Silver Marrow Exoskeleton Type I (spine) serves as the central nervous system of the exoskeleton. In addition to its strong coordination, it also has a certain load-bearing capacity.

The 45-kilogram weight on Xia Xiaochi's back was not as heavy as he had imagined.

Xia Xiaochi wrapped the remaining nitric acid sugar bombs into balls and threw them directly into the cave.

These explosives, wrapped in thick anti-collision sponge and shaped like footballs, are mainly used for exploration.

The freely falling sphere will collide in the cave and produce sound, which not only allows Xia Xiaochi to distinguish the height of the next slope, but also serves to lure the enemy.

"Don't you want to throw the 'All Terrain Reconnaissance Ball' down?" Fang Ming asked curiously.

Xia Xiaochi had her own plans. She shook her head and said:

"There's an old saying: 'Throwing a meat bun at a dog.' This ball is a high-tech product. If I drop it, it will only attract unnecessary trouble... I plan to use it when I reach the underground and need to explore the way."

"Ok."

Fang Ming had no objection to this.

After confirming his equipment, Xia Xiaochi zipped up the collar of his cloak completely.

In an instant, the surrounding light was absorbed by the interference of the fabric, and the girl's body disappeared without a trace.

Only when Xia Xiaochi walked again would a tiny ripple similar to a heat wave appear.

However, in Fang Ming's eyes, Xia Xiaochi is still the same Xia Xiaochi.

For Fang Ming, who has full control over all Ark equipment, these things will not cause any interference to him.

As Xia Xiaochi's feet buried themselves in the cave, Fang Ming's vision gradually darkened.

Listening to the girl's heavy breathing, Fang Ming said slowly:

"Don't be nervous, just take it one step at a time. I'm with you."

Chapter 104 Betrayal

The pure black phone screen reflected Fang Ming's tired face.

Fang Ming was exhausted after working all night for almost two days, but he still relied on his strong willpower to stay awake.

Fang Ming drew the curtains, turned off the lights, and reduced the glare from the phone screen to a minimum.

Today Fang Ming took another leave from the rehabilitation center and locked the door of the ward in advance.

Now, no one will disturb him and Xia Xiaochi's underground adventure.

As Xia Xiaochi went deeper into the cave, Fang Ming's vision fell into darkness just like Xia Xiaochi's.

After leaving the one-kilometer range of the Ark Shelter, the only image Fang Ming could obtain was the one hundred meters around Xia Xiaochi.

With this observation range, you may not be able to see anything in the endless desert.

But in a narrow cave, this observation distance is enough.

'Click'

Xia Xiaochi turned on the searchlight on his forehead.

This is the light source of the biological mask. There is a curved antenna on the top of the mask. The angle of the antenna can be adjusted according to needs, and the end is connected to a small glowing ball.

At first glance, it looks like a lantern fish in the deep sea with a chandelier on its head.

This mask does not need to be charged, and the principle of its luminescence should be similar to that of biological organs. It only needs to remain active to stay lit.

Listening to the girl's increasingly heavy breathing beside him, Fang Ming focused his attention on the walls around him.

It was similar to what he saw yesterday with his reconnaissance plane.

The surface of the cave wall here is some kind of acidic rock, and the calcified surface of the rock looks as white and smooth as if it were painted with latex paint.

half an hour……

One hour……

As time passed, Fang Ming could no longer estimate how deep Xia Xiaochi had gone.

The sound of wind from the entrance above my head had long since disappeared without a trace, and even the air had become thinner.

Whenever he encountered a fork in the road, Xia Xiaochi would decisively choose left.

Slowly, there was only one "football" left in the basket that had fallen with Xia Xiaochi.

Some of them fell into other forks in the road, while others got stuck in the gaps and couldn't be gotten out.

Going further, there was a bottomless drop at Xia Xiaochi's feet.

Xia Xiaochi frowned at the slope which was about 90 degrees.

The map provided by Xiao La doesn't mention such a place...

She raised her foot and kicked the last ball next to her foot down.

"One and a half seconds."

Xia Xiaochi counted down silently in his heart.

"It's about ten meters high." Fang Ming's voice followed.

Without any hesitation, Xia Xiaochi supported himself with his arms and jumped down.

Her action scared Fang Ming.

In the 21st century, a height of ten meters is equivalent to the height of a three-story building. Jumping from this distance would involve the risk of death, not to mention that this is in a cave where the landing point is difficult to predict.

Fortunately, the slope here was not completely vertical. Xia Xiaochi grabbed the wall with his gloves at the last moment before landing, and landed steadily.

"Cuckoo..."

Not long after he stood firm, the biological mask on Xia Xiaochi's mouth and nose moved a few times, and a layer of mesh shell spread out in front of Xia Xiaochi's nose.

It seems that the air here is not very good, even the biological mask automatically turns on deep filtration.

Xia Xiaochi stood there and took two breaths. After confirming that the current air conditions had no effect on her, she continued to move forward.

The road ahead suddenly became smooth.

Xia Xiaochi turned the biological searchlight above his head and shone it towards the road ahead.

What catches the eye is the nameless crystal stones that present a gorgeous luster under the refraction of light.

Xia Xiaochi opened his eyes wide in amazement at the beautiful scene.

There was actually such a cave hidden under the 0331 shelter where she had lived for eighteen years.

If the relatives and friends in the shelter were still alive, they would definitely be happy... After all, it means that most of them can have stable jobs, and the 0331 shelter will develop because of it.

"Brother Fang Ming, there are a lot of spider webs here..."

Xia Xiaochi reached out and pulled apart the spider web in front of him that was spread out like a fishing net.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Xia Xiaochi felt a familiar touch under his feet. He looked down and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"It's an energy crystal!"

"Brother Fang Ming, these spiders are collecting energy crystals... Tell me, can I steal all their energy crystals?"

Thinking of this, Xia Xiaochi's mouth corners were as hard to suppress as a gun.

1 energy point is equal to 1 gram of energy crystal... So, Xia Xiaochi only needs to pick up 5 kilograms of energy crystals, and their Ark Shelter can be upgraded.

This is much easier than carrying these 45 kilograms of energy crystals on my back.

However, Xia Xiaochi is not stupid either.

Energy crystals can only be converted into energy points in the Ark Shelter.

And outside the Ark Shelter...

These energy crystals are weapons used by the enemy for explosions.

If you carry this energy crystal on your body, the mutant spider will cause you to explode when it resonates.

Xia Xiaochi has no confidence in being able to withstand such an explosion.

She carefully picked up the energy crystal on the ground and threw it away.

Now is not the time to be greedy.

The farther away I am from the energy crystal, the safer I am.

"...Xia Xiaochi!"

"Hmm? What's wrong, Brother Fang Ming?"
