The crack was pointed at the top and wide at the bottom, and it was lightning-shaped. The woman took the lead in. I followed closely behind. The gravel inside had a large drop in height, and walking on it was very exhausting.&1t;/p>

After walking for about five minutes, I suddenly realized something. If this woman knew the way out, why would she still be trapped on a huge rock?&1t;/p>

"Can this road lead to the outside?" I asked with concern.&1t;/p>

"No." She answered decisively.&1t;/p>

I quickly stopped, "Where are you going?"&1t;/p>

The woman kept walking, looked back at me, and continued to walk forward, "There is the mainstream of an underground river in front of me."&1t;/p>

I didn't understand what she meant, so I didn't rush to follow. I stood there waiting for her to finish her words. She slowed down and turned her head to look at me and said, "There is an area where I have to use the help of dead people to pass. As for whether there is an exit after passing, I don't know yet."&1t;/p>

"Am I a dead person?" I feel that compared to the completely dead person, I am still relatively alive.&1t;/p>

"It's half a piece, but this may be better. I tried carrying the corpse, but it didn't work." After saying that, the woman urged: "Go quickly, those bugs can smell you. After a while, the water on your body drys, they will chase you."&1t;/p>

There is a strange smell in the pool. I guess this strange smell can temporarily cover up the dead human smell on my body. Thinking of this, I quickly took a step forward.&1t;/p>

I seem to be particularly destined to be with the underground world. I can always enter this kind of dark space for various reasons, and then I will encounter difficulties in a different way.&1t;/p>

I tried to contact Gu Yu while walking, but it was obvious that the crack was still within the range of 'signal shielding' and my brain waves could not be sent out.&1t;/p>

Walking in such an original underground crack is completely different from the feeling when traveling. There is no tour guide, no route guidance, and no safety measures. Every time you step on a stone, you may step on the air. At the very least, you will be able to fall down.&1t;/p>

Fortunately, my physical fitness returned to normal. I did not pant or fall behind with the woman. Her breathing was even more even than me. I couldn't help but wonder if she was a human being. Even if she was not a zombie, she might be some other human creature.&1t;/p>

Now that I am leading the way, I don’t have the nerve to ask such a sensitive question. It seems very impolite to ask a stranger directly, "Are you a human?"

The stones that have been washed by water for many years should be very slippery. I don’t know when this tributary dried up. The stones have been dried out long ago, and the edges and corners are polished by water. There is no need to worry about bleeding after falling.&1t;/p>

"Come here, I have to carry you on the rest of the way." The woman suddenly stopped and waved to me.&1t;/p>

Thinking about what she said about carrying a corpse, I secretly praised her psychological quality. She walked forward and carried it by her. Her strength was not smaller than mine. She carried me with a brisk breath, and walked forward for about a few minutes.&1t;/p>

I saw an exit in front of the crack. Outside the exit is a river beach. Those root-like things grew until they did not cross this exit.&1t;/p>

Since there is no root, this place should be no longer a dangerous area, but I think women are really nervous from this moment on.&1t;/p>

I am sorry for my poor imagination, and I really can't think of anything worthy of the underground river. Is there a creature more afraid of being active than a white worm?&1t;/p>

"It's rainy season now, and the underground river surging is good for us." The woman said without hesitation, her eyes always staring at the turbulent water flow in the river.&1t;/p>

I know nothing about geology, only know that the water flows very quickly. Looking around, I can't see the situation on the other side, and the river beach at my feet is less than one meter wide for us to walk on.&1t;/p>

"If we rise again, we will flood us. Are you sure?" Looking at the surging water, if there is another heavy rain on the surface, we will be washed away by the flood.&1t;/p>

"It doesn't matter if it's overwhelmed. Even if I'm going against the current, I can take you upstream, just don't-"&1t;/p>

Before she finished speaking, a splash of water suddenly popped up from the river water at her feet, like something was going up in the water. The outside world has changed a lot. Last January, the mutant wave broke out. Now there are few living people and many zombies. Oh, by the way, some people have evolved their abilities, also called superpowers, but I think your ability is no worse than them."&1t;/p>

"What about you, why are you different from the zombies in the movie?"&1t;/p>

"So, everything cannot be copied. I am a zombie I have never played in the movie."&1t;/p>

"It seems that my life should not be lost." The woman suddenly sighed.&1t;/p>

I think from the perspective of others. If I were living alone underground for two years, facing the roots and boulders all day, I might not be as calm as her, so I couldn't help but admire her.&1t;/p>

I wanted to ask about the passage hole and her body was full of redness, but at this moment, a claw was stretched out from the water.&1t;/p>

The dry claws grabbed her ankle. I looked carefully and found that it was not a claw at all, but a dry hand.&1t;/p>

Because it is too thin and dry, and the nails are very long, I regard it as the claw of an animal, but I immediately found that there was a bracelet on the wrist of this hand.&1t;/p>

I have never seen animals wearing bracelets, and the shape of the bones of this hand belongs to humans, so I almost subconsciously stretched out my feet to kick that hand.&1t;/p>

But the woman stopped me and said she could grab it. She stopped and stood quietly. After the hand grabbed her ankle, there was no other movement, but just grabbed it firmly.&1t;/p>

After a stalemate for about ten seconds, the hand slowly let go of the woman's feet and retracted back into the water.&1t;/p>

"What's going on?" I asked softly.&1t;/p>

"It's testing." The woman replied in a low voice.&1t;/p>

After the dry hand was retracted into the water, the woman did not rush to leave. After waiting for a while, she took a step again. The woman was about the same height as me. She carried me on her back. My feet were actually very close to the water surface. In order to prevent my feet from being attacked suddenly, I stretched my legs forward and tried to lift them higher.&1t;/p>

The hand just now stretched out, and my first thought was "water ghosts", but when they moved in the water, they looked like fish. In my impression, water ghosts belonged to ghosts, and they should be invisible and intangible.&1t;/p>

"This is a zombie, right?" After thinking about it for a while, I told the conclusion in my heart.&1t;/p>

"These can only be regarded as moving corpses, and the real amazing guys are in front."&1t;/p>

"Didn't it mean that the Dead Man's Grotto has not been buried for a long time? Where did so many corpses come from? Don't tell me that they were left behind a long time ago."&1t;/p>

"You are right. There were two small countries in this place a long time ago. Every now and then, they fought in the Dead Man's Gate. At that time, Dead Man's Gate was not called Dead Man's Gate. But there were so many people who died, so this name came from."&1t;/p>

"What happened later?"&1t;/p>

"Two small countries were destroyed by another big country, and the battlefield was also here. The soldiers who died in battle were thrown directly into the river. It was probably the rainy season at that time, and the bodies rushed here along the water."&1t;/p>

"How did you know?"&1t;/p>

"The people of Benshan have their own tricks."&1t;/p>

When I saw that she didn't want me to inquire about this, I changed my question and asked: "Since these dead people have been dead for a long time, why haven't they rotted into bones and still hid in the water to catch people."&1t;/p>

"Because a long time ago they died, there was already something settled here, and the dead people came in and just became puppets of that thing."&1t;/p>

I was about to ask what that thing was, but the woman turned a corner and the river beach in front suddenly became wide open. On the open river bank, I saw an extremely huge tree.&1t;/p>

This tree cannot be described as towering into the clouds. It is more like a huge tree-shaped terminal, extending countless roots in all directions, even in the river.&1t;/p>

&1t;/p>
