The woman said, "And that cold-hearted woman, you'd be really capable if you could sleep with her."
Section Chief Wang puffed out his buttocks: "I'm quite capable, but I only have one gun. I'll take you down one by one."
The woman was thrust into from behind, and she couldn't help but let out a cry—not a scream of pain, but a cry of extreme pleasure and ecstasy. Li Hua couldn't help but shudder. His hand secretly reached into his crotch, and he cursed under his breath, "These officials are fucking comfortable. They get to enjoy all the good things in life. Even when they come on vacation, they don't forget to bring a woman to have sex."
After a sudden, forceful thrust, Section Chief Wang went silent. The woman felt a soft "plop" behind her neck as liquid splattered all over her back. She cursed, "Why did it spray on me? Didn't I tell you to put it inside? People will smell it and see that I'm in my safe period and they're not afraid you'll put it inside. Damn it, my clothes are all ruined, worth several thousand!"
Section Chief Wang didn't respond. His body seemed to go limp and he collapsed onto the woman's back. The woman impatiently wiped the liquid off his back: "What a spoilsport! Couldn't you have held on a little longer?... Ah, your head, where's your head?" the woman screamed. She reached back and touched him, only to find that Section Chief Wang was missing something—a large section was missing from his shoulder. This was terrifying.
Li Hua was about to masturbate while listening to the lewd words when something suddenly fell into his arms. He instinctively raised his arm to block it, and his hand was immediately covered in a warm liquid. Li Hua thought that Section Chief Wang had sprayed something on him, and he was about to curse angrily when he suddenly heard Section Chief Wang's woman shout, "Where's your head?" Li Hua grabbed the thing that had been pushed in front of him, then turned on the flashlight under his backpack. What he saw terrified him.
The flying object was none other than Section Chief Wang's head. His eyes were wide open as he stared at Li Hua, his face bearing the tense expression of someone about to explode. He might explode at any moment, but what it felt like to have your head suddenly separated from your body was something no one knew, and no one wanted to know.
"Ah!" Li Hua yelled and threw his head out. At this moment, most of the people in the cave were awakened. His head hit another tourist. The flashlight beam shone wildly, and he naturally saw the power of the object. He screamed and continued to throw his head at others. The space inside the cave was already narrow, and now it was in chaos. Some people ran into the deeper part of the cave, while others rushed out of the cave and ran in the heavy rain.
When Manager Hu woke up, he was still dazed and confused. People around him were shouting and running. Because the path in the cave was too narrow, Manager Hu was trampled by people one after another. He cursed, "Don't run! Whoever runs, I'll beat the crap out of them!" It turned out that Manager Hu had actually found Section Chief Wang's gun on the ground. However, the panicked crowd was not frightened by him and continued to trample over him.
Enraged, Manager Hu fired a warning shot, causing rocks to fall from the cave walls. Hearing the gunshot, the people became alert and stopped, afraid that Manager Hu would shoot them next and they would die with their eyes wide open.
Manager Hu stood up, and his assistant shone a flashlight on him. Section Chief Wang's secretary, He Zhan, cautiously went over to check on Section Chief Wang. The woman, naked and with her buttocks exposed, was completely terrified, cowering in a corner, her body trembling. Under the light, her hands, face, and back were covered in a dark liquid, and she kept muttering, "Blood, blood, head, head..."
He kicked Wang's body with his foot, "It's really headless, what... what happened?"
Manager Hu, being a seasoned entrepreneur, brandished his gun and said, "What else could it be? One of us killed Section Chief Wang. Nobody's leaving until the real culprit is found. Everyone's staying here."
Li Hua was trembling more than anyone else, because he was nominally the organizer. Now, not only had the trip encountered dangerous weather, but people had also died. Even if he wanted to shirk responsibility, he couldn't. At the very least, Section Chief Wang's family wouldn't let him off the hook.
He said, "Yes, yes, find out the real culprit and avenge Section Chief Wang."
Manager Hu brandished his gun and said, "Everyone stand still! Think back, who was closest to Section Chief Wang at the time? Besides, the weapon that could cut off Section Chief Wang's head wouldn't be a fruit knife. Show us your backpacks, let us search them thoroughly."
Secretary He kicked the naked woman in the corner: "Tell me quickly, who was closest to you at the time?" Actually, He was on the verge of a mental breakdown, but he had to find out who the murderer was. Otherwise, he knew that when he returned, Section Chief Wang's family would not let him go. Even if he ran away, where could he run to? This was the Party's country.
The naked woman stared blankly, muttering repeatedly, "Head...fuck that slut surnamed Xiao, fuck that slut..."
Volume 2 [642] Earthquake Collapse
[642] Earthquake collapse
"Surname Xiao? Could it be Xiao Baihe?" He thought for a moment. Although no one had given their real names, they had still managed to find out the identities of the female tourists in their group through various means. It seemed that there was only one woman with the surname Xiao, and that was Xiao Baihe.
Manager Hu waved his gun wildly: "Xiao Baihe, come out here! I've had my eye on you for a long time. You must have tried to seduce Section Chief Wang, so you decided to kill him. Come out here, or I'll catch you and you're dead!" In his anger, Manager Hu didn't even consider how Xiao Baihe, as a woman, could have managed to cut off Section Chief Wang's head in an instant.
Xiao Baihe had once 'seduced' Section Chief Wang in the middle of the night while camping in Shanxia Village, so now she is even more suspicious. Others also believe that Xiao Baihe is secretly taking revenge on Section Chief Wang. They never expected this woman to be so ruthless.
After shouting and yelling for a while without any response, Manager Hu pushed aside the people blocking his way, stepped forward, and grabbed Li Hua: "Where's Xiao Baihe? Make her come out!"
Li Hua said tremblingly, "I...I don't know. I can't restrict her freedom. Maybe she just ran out of the cave."
Someone said, "Yes, I saw her run out of the cave. She must be fleeing from a crime. Everyone, go out and chase her! There's no other way out here, and in this weather, she would never come down the mountain. If she's not on the flat ground outside, then she must be hiding in another cave." This person was quite intelligent, as he analyzed the situation clearly.
Manager Hu shouted, "Let's go, let's arrest her! How dare she commit violence under our noses! We'll find her and punish her on behalf of the people!" Almost every man knew what kind of punishment that would be, so everyone agreed and followed Manager Hu to arrest her. It was entirely possible to gain an advantage. Thinking of Xiao Baihe's body, many people even forgot about the bloody scene before them.
The rain outside was still heavy, with raindrops splashing on the ground. Under the flashlight beam, the sky outside the cave was gray, with only occasional raindrops that occasionally flashed with a bright color falling down. Suddenly, with a whoosh, the rain curtain was torn open, and a cold light shot into the cave. The people inside were running so fast that they didn't even have time to react with a scream. There was a loud thud, followed by screams.
The cold light disappeared, and everyone turned around, their flashlights shining wildly again. Finally, someone found the source of the screams, followed by an even louder scream: "Ah! Manager Hu has been stabbed to death!"
Another person died, and there was a headless corpse on the ground. Terrified, the people dared not stay in the cave any longer and rushed out, leaving only the assistant and secretary He behind. The two mustered their courage and went forward to check. They saw Manager Hu lying in a pool of blood. He had been stabbed by a dagger, which was stuck in his temple, with only a piece of the metal handle remaining. Manager Hu was dead, and there was no need to worry about punishing the murderer Xiao Baihe anymore.
People were running around in the rain outside. Because it was dark and they couldn't see the surrounding terrain clearly, some people accidentally walked to the edge of the platform. The ground was slippery in the heavy rain, and with a whoosh, they tumbled down the slope. "Help! Help!"
Hearing the shouts, someone instinctively ran over, but before they could even offer a rescue, the person who hadn't completely fallen down the slope grabbed his foot. As a result, the person above lost their balance, and the two of them fell down together. The shouts faded into the distance and eventually stopped abruptly. No one knew what had happened to the person who had fallen down the mountain, but since they couldn't even hear any cries for help, it seemed their chances of survival were slim.
Some clever people climbed up the trees, which was the only safe place away from the ground. However, the rain seemed to be intensifying at this moment, and lightning struck again. Boom! A tree canopy was split in half. Fortunately, no one was hiding in the tree, but the others were too scared to hide in or under the trees, so another cave became the choice.
Zhao Qiang and Yang Shiyun had descended to the deepest part of the cave they had explored earlier. Only then did they understand the cause of the earlier tremors. It turned out that the flash flood in the valley had changed the pressure of the strata, causing a collapse in the cave. In addition to making the already narrow cave even narrower, a large crack had also appeared in the rock stratum where the black box was located, from which water was gushing out. However, there were cracks everywhere in the ground, so there was no need to worry about the groundwater filling the place for the time being.
Yang Shiyun said worriedly, "We must leave. If the crack widens, the ground here won't be able to drain in time, and we will be flooded."
Zhao Qiang said, "You go up first, I have some things to take care of before I leave."
Yang Shiyun said, "Nonsense. Whatever is going on underground, we can come back and dig it up again when we have excavation equipment."
Zhao Qiang pointed to the rock above his head and said, "If I give it just a little more external force, it will break..."
Yang Shiyun said, "Yes, when the time comes, the surging groundwater will flood you."
Zhao Qiang said, "I'll be fine, just don't be a burden to me."
Yang Shiyun was furious. "Me? Me, a burden to you?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Yes, you hurry up and go up. I'll get the black box and go back to the ground in a bit."
Yang Shiyun really wanted to bite Zhao Qiang, but she knew that her control over energy was far inferior to Zhao Qiang's. Although they were underground, Zhao Qiang's chances of escaping alone were still relatively high. At the same time, Yang Shiyun was actually more concerned about the black box than Zhao Qiang. She wanted to know what made the mountain spring sweet and whether the black box had any connection with the familiar feeling coming from underground.
"Alright, I won't hold you back. You just need to be careful." With that, Yang Shiyun flicked out a spider silk, using the force to leap up into the cave.
Zhao Qiang had already scanned the situation below the cave into his brain for analysis. He looked around, grabbed a large rock, and smashed it against the rocks above his head. The rocks, which had already been loosened and broken, broke open with a large hole, and water poured down like a torrential rain. When it reached Zhao Qiang, it was parted to the left and right by an invisible force.
Zhao Qiang was annoyed that the rock above him hadn't been completely broken despite the help of the stone. It was a miscalculation, something that usually didn't happen. The reason for the error was that the water pressure hadn't reached what Zhao Qiang had predicted. Perhaps the water level above had already dropped, which Zhao Qiang hadn't noticed.
Zhao Qiang pulled out his compression gun and fired a shot overhead. At the same time, he used the momentum to quickly retreat. This time, the shot was powerful enough that the entire cave collapsed with a roar, and water and rocks were everywhere. Zhao Qiang used a ball of energy to protect himself tightly. In this situation, he had to rely on consuming energy to cope, otherwise he would be trapped here to death.
Water and rocks continued to press down on Zhao Qiang's body. Zhao Qiang knew that relying on energy to stay down there was not a long-term solution, and once the way up was blocked, he would be in even greater danger. He might really be trapped underground and die while waiting for the transformation stone.
Zhao Qiang frantically searched for the black box in the chaotic environment. The rocks were broken, and the black box must have been swept away by the current. However, the situation was urgent, and Zhao Qiang had no time to observe the box's location. Fortunately, Zhao Qiang was lucky. It didn't take long for him to spot the black box floating in the water, colliding with the falling rocks. Zhao Qiang pushed off with his foot on a large rock, his body pushing aside the rocks on either side, and shot towards the black box with a whoosh.
Boom! An even larger fracturing began, the underground tremors intensified, and the rocks beneath their feet started to crack. Large amounts of water and stones plunged down, and before Zhao Qiang could even touch the black box, the area sank deeper under the pressure of the water.
Zhao Qiang dared not hesitate any longer. He immediately shot out the Flying Tiger Claw from his wrist, which quickly and tightly bound the black box. Without wasting even half a second, Zhao Qiang did not even have time to retract the Flying Tiger Claw. He quickly separated a large amount of energy and let the energy wrap around his body and spin rapidly outward. If he did not rely on this external force to pull his body, the huge downward pulling force would have plunged Zhao Qiang into an even deeper abyss.
The path he came from was no longer visible above. The severe landslide below had altered the terrain above, and Zhao Qiang could only rely on his energy to force his way through the gaps. Fortunately, Yang Shiyun wasn't with him; otherwise, it was uncertain whether he would have been able to break through with his remaining energy.
Boom! Zhao Qiang finally burst out of the ground. At that moment, he felt like he was seeing the light of day again. Although it was still a world of rain and darkness outside, the powerful pressure around him suddenly disappeared. This meant he no longer needed to excessively separate his energy to protect himself and clear a path. Before he even landed, Zhao Qiang scanned the situation below. Yang Shiyun was standing not far away, staring at him nervously, while a dozen other tourists looked blankly at the suddenly collapsed hole.
With a whoosh, a wave of water surged up, mixed with rocks. A dozen tourists had no time to dodge and were hit by falling rocks, screaming in pain. Some even had their heads broken. To make matters worse, several people had already taken refuge in the cave, but the cave suddenly collapsed, and those who went in were definitely not coming back. Such things are truly unpredictable for tourists.
Li Hua and the others did not see Zhao Qiang land from the gushing water column. The dark night and noisy environment were huge obstacles for ordinary people. They had no idea what had happened and were all panicked and confused.
Zhao Qiang stepped back, not wanting anyone to see the black box in his hand. The object was quite large and couldn't be hidden. He could only try his best to avoid being noticed by others. However, Yang Shiyun had already seen Zhao Qiang and ran over.
Zhao Qiang hid the black box behind his back, but Yang Shiyun snatched it away and hugged it to her chest. "It has the same feel as the one underground, but it's not as strong."
Zhao Qiang said aggrievedly, "You didn't even ask me if it was dangerous down there, all you wanted to do was hold it."
Yang Shiyun said, "You've come up safely, why would you need to ask?"
Whoosh! Another jet of water shot up, and the entire cave collapsed. Li Hua and the others screamed and ran back to the original cave, but no one dared to go in. There were two corpses inside, and in this situation where friend and foe were unclear, who would dare to go in? Besides, the ground here was unstable; perhaps the other cave would collapse in the next minute.
Several tourists huddled together, sobbing in the rain. Now, more than two people have died; some have crawled into caves and been buried underground, while others have rolled down the hillside and disappeared without a trace. There are still six survivors. It's heartbreaking to think that their friends, who were just lively and energetic a moment ago, are suddenly gone.
It seemed destined to be a long and difficult night. The rain continued to fall, the flash floods in the valley intensified, and mudslides occurred frequently. The rumbling sound could be clearly heard on the mountain. No one knew if they could make it to dawn. Perhaps the mountaintop would collapse in the next minute and bury everyone under the rocks, or perhaps the flood would rise and blow people away. Of course, the possibility of that was relatively low, after all, this was the highest point in the vicinity.
Volume 2 [643] Experiment
[643] Experiment
Zhao Qiang looked around and it seemed that the only place that could still shelter from the rain was the remaining cave. At this point, he could no longer feel the tremors from the ground, probably because the underground part of another cave did not have large cracks. Zhao Qiang pointed to the cave and said to Yang Shiyun, "Let's go in and take shelter from the rain."
Li Hua shouted from behind, "Brother, don't go in! There are dead people in there!"
Zhao Qiang was still confused: "What? A dead person?"
"Section Chief Wang and Manager Hu have been murdered!" Li Hua shouted in a trembling voice. After saying that, he looked around in fear, as if the assassins hiding in the shadows would also take care of him.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiang walked even faster, and Yang Shiyun showed no fear. She followed Zhao Qiang into the cave, carrying the black box. The cave entrance smelled of blood, and it was pitch black inside. Yang Shiyun turned on the flashlight on Zhao Qiang's watch.
Zhao Qiang squatted down. There were two corpses on the ground, one of which was headless and already cold. Yang Shiyun also squatted down, looked at it, and said, "It really is Section Chief Wang. How could someone have chopped off his head? Who hates him so much?"
Zhao Qiang said, "We can put the hatred aside for now, but what kind of weapon could cut his head off so neatly? This is not something an ordinary person could do."
Yang Shiyun said, "It's not easy for this person to hide his weapons here. If our weapons weren't able to transform, they wouldn't have been able to hide for so long."
Zhao Qiang plopped down next to the corpses and said, "Never mind that for now. Let's try to start a fire. It's damp and wet here, and our clothes are soaked. We need to warm ourselves up. We need to investigate these two deaths slowly."
Yang Shiyun looked around and said, "No, we don't have any fire-starting materials. If only we had solid fuel."
Zhao Qiang said, "I'll go out and chop some firewood. It's better to have smoke than nothing to roast."
Yang Shiyun glanced at the corpse on the ground: "I'll stay with you." Regardless of whether she could become invisible, facing a corpse alone would still be very stressful.
Zhao Qiang said, "It's inconvenient for you to move around while carrying the black box, so you should stay here. What, are you scared?"
Yang Shiyun was somewhat unwilling, but she didn't want Zhao Qiang to see it, so she could only stay and guard the two corpses with a sense of grievance. She hadn't felt scared when Zhao Qiang was there, but now that he had left her alone as a girl, even though she could control her energy and was a human, Yang Shiyun still felt a chill down her spine.
As Zhao Qiang walked out of the cave, Li Hua immediately ran over. "How was it? There were dead people inside, weren't there? I told you not to go in."
Zhao Qiang asked, "What exactly happened?"
Li Hua said, "We don't know either. We were sleeping peacefully when Section Chief Wang went crazy in the middle of the night and started messing around with the woman he brought in front of everyone. It was pitch black and we couldn't see anything. Suddenly, I was sprayed with a liquid, and then his woman screamed. When we shone a flashlight on her, we realized that Section Chief Wang had been beheaded. But the cave is so small. How could someone jump over everyone and behead Section Chief Wang without being noticed?"
Zhao Qiang asked, "Who was around Section Chief Wang at that time?"
Li Hua said, "I don't remember, but the nearest person must have been more than two meters away. I was relatively close to him, but I still didn't see what happened. We don't even know where the dagger that stabbed Manager Hu to death came from. However, before he died, Manager Hu suspected that Xiao Baihe killed Section Chief Wang, but we haven't seen Xiao Baihe since. I wonder if she went into the collapsed cave and was buried. Sigh, that woman looked so gentle, I never thought she would be an executioner."
Zhao Qiang said, "There's no evidence yet whether he was the executioner or not. It's raining so hard outside, why don't you and the others go inside and take shelter from the rain?"
Li Hua quickly waved his hand: "We can't go in, we can't go in, we'd rather get soaked in the rain outside."
Ignoring Li Hua, Zhao Qiang pulled out his transformed machete, chopped several large pine branches on the flat ground at the top of the mountain, dragged them to the cave entrance, chopped them into sections, and then took out a windproof lighter to light the pine needles. It took a lot of effort, even using up his energy, to get the fire going, leaving Zhao Qiang covered in soot. He washed it off with the rainwater at the cave entrance before he was satisfied.
Yang Shiyun carefully examined the black box, which was about a foot square. It was made of the same material as the treasure Zhao Qiang had stolen from the red shirt, but it wasn't completely airtight. The top of the black box had a funnel-shaped structure that extended into the interior of the box in a winding manner. Yang Shiyun used Zhao Qiang's glasses to try and see through it, but she couldn't see anything inside. This kind of material couldn't be scanned and analyzed with X-ray glasses.
The bottom of the black box is also a funnel-shaped structure, as if it were for the flow of water. In addition to these two inlets and outlets, Yang Shiyun also noticed several raised dots on the black box. The raised dots are so small that they can only be felt when touched. Below the raised dots, there are several inconspicuous patterns. It is unknown whether they were scratched during the manufacture of the black box.
Zhao Qiang naturally took in everything Yang Shiyun observed. Yang Shiyun asked him, "Can you understand the meaning of these patterns? Or are they simply natural scratches?"
Zhao Qiang shook his head: "I think it's not a scratch, but rather something else, but this is not Chinese pictographs."
Yang Shiyun said, "We shouldn't be prejudiced. It could also be a foreign product, like an Egyptian product."
Zhao Qiang shook his head: "Impossible. Analyzing the age of the strata, it has coexisted with the surrounding rocks for at least 10,000 years. What do you think the Egyptians were doing back then? Even our ancestors probably didn't know where they were playing."
Yang Shiyun said, "Then that must be a product of prehistoric civilization."
Zhao Qiang said, "It's hard to say. The key is that we need to understand its function first before we can make a further judgment."
Yang Shiyun said, "My knowledge is not as broad as yours, so you'll have to handle this." Zhao Qiang's body has been in a state of flux for a long time since it restarted. During this period, he has learned about knowledge from almost every industry on Earth. Although Yang Shiyun also has a photographic memory, she is not as focused as Zhao Qiang. Zhao Qiang can immerse himself in the library all day and ignore everything else, even skipping meals. Yang Shiyun, on the other hand, only learns a little bit each day. In comparison, her knowledge is currently less than one-fifth of Zhao Qiang's.
Zhao Qiang took the black box from Yang Shiyun. Yang Shiyun took off her coat and put it on the fire to warm it, watching Zhao Qiang examine the black box. Zhao Qiang first weighed it in his hand. According to the volume ratio, if the long black piece found by the woman in the red shirt was solid, then according to its density, the weight of the black box should be more than that, which means that the black box is hollow inside.
