Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 260 - 252: A String of Mysterious Numbers
The entire cliff face was blown apart.
Smoking, mud, rocks, and debris flew into the air.
Boulder fragments, under the force of gravity, rolled down onto the cement road below.
A cloud of smoke....
Everyone muttered in relief: Thank goodness we ran far enough.
Just a moment ago, we thought a few dozen meters would suffice, but seeing the power of the blast, anyone closer would surely have been hit by the flying stones.
Waiting for the smoke to dissipate, a huge cave entrance became visible, and the group slowly advanced towards it.
Before they even reached the entrance, they saw several pythons rolling out from within....
Dapao was at the forefront; he saw the cave was tightly packed with snakes.
Of various sizes; the largest one was nearly 20 centimeters in diameter, almost as thick as a person's thigh.
Seeing the cave filled with pythons, Dapao's scalp tingled, and he felt the urge to vomit.
Li Yu also came over, and upon witnessing the scene, felt his entire being sour.
The cave was stuffed full of snakes, curled up together, with two smaller ones already squeezed out.
They were flicking their tongues, twisting towards them.
CTM!
Li Yu was furious.
He freaking hated snakes the most.
He remembered as a child watching Animal World, seeing the giant pythons of Africa, and having nightmares in the middle of the night.
This freaking...
Kill them!
"Damn it, Dapao, later throw one, no, two, no, three packs of explosives. Toss them over and blow these things to hell. So freaking disgusting," Li Yu said,
While running towards the upper part of the cement road.
Yutong, Song Min, and others who followed wanted to crowd in to see what exactly happened inside.
Li Yu told them not to look, but seeing everyone was still curious, he let them go.
But Yutong was directly led by the hand by Li Yu, running up the mountain.
When the group arrived at the cave entrance, standing about 20 meters away, the sight inside made everyone's face turn a shade of green.
Indeed, it was disgusting.
Especially how they were coiled up in mounds, intertwined with one another.
It was clear that some snakes seemed to sense the entrance had been opened and were trying to escape, but they were tangled with other snakes and could not break free at once.
Everyone retreated.
Dapao's scalp tingled too. Li Hang and Li Gang went up to help.
"Xiao Hang, you throw it over there, Gangzi, you too," Dapao, who used to be an expert in demolition, had calculated how to blast the snakes more efficiently.
The three of them threw the explosive packs in their hands simultaneously, each holding the fuse line, which was about ten meters long.
Dapao's pack landed perfectly through a gap between the snakes right into the cave entrance.
Nice throw!
The three lit the fuses in their hands at the same time.
Sssss~~~
The fuses were ignited.
However, the snakes at the entrance continued to entangle, and even as they did so, pushed Dapao's recently thrown explosive further inside.
Dapao and the others quickly ran up the mountain.
This time, everyone ran even further, nearly two hundred meters away from the explosive.
They stopped, finding a suitable vantage point.
The cement road they were on was winding, and from their position, they could just see over to the other side.
After a few seconds...
BOOM! BOOM!
Two loud explosions.
Huh?
Li Yu looked at Dapao, puzzled; weren't three explosive packs set?
Dapao was also a bit confused; as they ran over, he saw his explosive pack being squeezed deeper in, could it have been extinguished by the pressure of the snakes' bodies?
...
Dapao's face turned somewhat awkward.
At this moment, BOOM! A louder explosion than the previous two shook the air!
Li Yu immediately pulled out his telescope to look over.
Tsk tsk.
Through the telescope, he saw a giant snake, smashed in mid-air, directly blasted into smithereens like a spray.
Damn disgusting.
Even more disgusting than a Zombie, tenfold. After three loud booms, a voice came through the walkie-talkie.
It was Li Tie.
"Big brother, what are you guys doing up there? It's been booming non-stop, did you find anything?" Li Tie spoke from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
"Uh, found some pythons, really disgusting, blew them up." Li Yu said with irritation.
"....."
The group waited in place for five minutes.
Waiting for the smoke to disperse, Li Yu and the others slowly approached the area.
As everyone got closer, they were greeted by the stench of blood, and a disgusting smell hit their faces.
Everyone hastily put on anti-poison masks as the odor was indeed hard to bear.
The entrance of the cave that was there before had been greatly enlarged, with segments of snake corpses scattered everywhere.
Some were still wriggling.
It was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Hanging on a tree in the back were two sections of snake carcass.
Just dangling there, they gave off an extremely chilling sight.
...
"Truly damn disgusting." Li Yu exclaimed.
These snakes had to be thoroughly cleaned up. If the cave hadn't been blown open it would have been fine, but once opened, and if there were snakes inside, they could easily be bitten while ascending or descending the mountain.
Might as well go all in and blow them all up.
On the ground, there were no live snakes to be seen, but the concrete road had also been partially destroyed by the explosion. However, since the blast opened up the inner cliffside, it actually made the road wider.
The group composed themselves and continued their investigation up the mountain.
Along the way, everyone was extremely cautious and thorough.
Li Gang and Li Hang, each holding detection equipment, went back and forth to ensure every place was checked twice.
Unfortunately, along the way, no more anomalies were found.
The group felt somewhat deflated, but atop the mountain, the view was indeed beautiful.
Behind this mountaintop, there was a temple, which everyone thoroughly searched.
No one was found, and neither was anything else.
The group sighed.
Li Yu felt even worse.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
The group wandered around the mountain for a while longer, detecting everywhere with their equipment.
But still, they found nothing.
The sun was setting towards the west, as it would soon set in an hour.
Their mood was heavy.
After bustling all day, everyone wanted to rest for a while.
So, they each found a spot to sit down.
Everyone sat by the concrete road, while others found stones to sit on.
Li Yu, on the other hand, sat down on a large marble stone.
Li Hang, seeing Yutong sitting together with Li Yu, felt awkward to go over and sit with them.
Suddenly, he spotted something protruding and ran over, plopping himself down on it.
Uncle hastily said, "Xiao Hang, where you're sitting is a tombstone, what I just saw, it should be an unmarked grave."
Upon hearing this, Li Hang immediately stood up in alarm, asking, "What's an unmarked grave?"
Uncle sighed, "Usually it's for those who die young and unmarried, without children. Often, these people will have an unmarked grave."
Li Hang felt somewhat saddened and then bowed respectfully towards this unmarked grave.
As he was bowing, his eyes sharply caught sight of something.
On the bottom left of the unmarked grave was a sequence of numbers: 89800
What's this?
Li Hang hurriedly called Uncle over: "Uncle, what does 89800 mean?"
"What?!!" Uncle's expression changed upon hearing this.
Li Gang, hearing the number from behind, also felt a sense of familiarity.
So, he took the detection equipment over to measure it.
Although the detector had measured various spots along the way, not every place could be checked, and this small tombstone had been missed.
As soon as the detector started scanning, it began to beep.
