Cave Exploration

  "What's wrong?" Huang Yunzhi asked softly.

  "There's someone on the opposite mountain, using binoculars to look at us." Yang Shuo Ming replied in a low voice, but continued kissing her.

  "Let's...not do this anymore, okay? I don't want people to see..." Huang Yunzhi grasped his hand and pleaded.

  "Of course, I don't want to perform for others either." Yang Shuoming had calmed down from his passion and said softly, "Push me away, put on your clothes, act naturally, and don't let them see through the cracks."

  Quick-witted Huang Yunzhi immediately understood, she gasped for a while, pretending to use all her strength to push Yang Shuoming away with great effort, covering her chest with both hands and starting to button up her clothes. Her expression and movements were extremely natural and smooth, her acting skills rivaling those of an Oscar-winning actress, leaving Yang Shuoming secretly astonished.

  Huang Yunzhi quickly put on her clothes, and Yang Shuo Ming helped her stand up. His eyes inadvertently looked towards the mountain top, and the "Super Computer Eye" began to rapidly enlarge the image. Yang Shuo Ming immediately saw that there were also two people, a man and a woman, standing over there.

  The man was a tall and sturdy fellow, wearing a white silk shirt with a short gun holstered at his waist. He had a handsome face and had just put down the monocular telescope in his hand, now talking to the woman. The woman had her back turned towards this side, swinging a long braid, unable to see her face clearly, but judging from her figure, it was not bad.

  It was just the two large wooden gun holsters on her lower back that made Yang Shuo's eyelids jump involuntarily.

  She actually used two "box guns"!

  Perhaps disappointed at not seeing Yang Shuo and his wife's "outdoor passion" scene, the man turned around and beckoned the woman to leave. The two quickly jumped down from the rock and disappeared into the nearby woods. Yang Shuo noticed that in the woods, there seemed to be many human figures lurking about.

  "Who are they?" Huang Yunzhi looked at Yang Shuoming's eyes with some unease and asked.

  "It's hard to say." Yang Shuo Ming said, taking over Huang Yunzhi's backpack and putting it on his back, holding her hand, "Let's go."

  The two walked down the mountain slope, planning to return to Shuanglong Town. Huang Yunzhi took out a compass to determine the direction, and Yang Shaoming carefully looked around, suddenly holding his breath.

  Right next to them stood a small deer.

  At first, Yang Shuo Ming still suspected that he was seeing things, but he took a closer look and immediately discovered that this was not some kind of illusion.

  That beautiful little deer was standing on a small hill not far away, gazing at the mountain ridge. When it saw two people standing here, its big eyes blinked, seeming to reveal a hint of surprise.

  "It's a fawn!" Huang Yunzhi also saw the little deer, and her eyes flashed with excitement, "So beautiful..."

  Looking at this adorable little deer, Huang Yunzhi unconsciously opened her arms and made a hugging motion.

  The little deer was attracted by her movements and actually took a few steps forward, walking towards her.

  Just then, two crisp gunshots suddenly rang out from a distant valley!

  In the vast mountain valley, although the gunshot was not loud, it still startled the little deer. The little deer retreated two steps and suddenly jumped away. Its beautiful fur seemed like a rainbow that quickly flashed before Yang Shuo's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace into the forest.

  Yang Shuo Ming swiftly drew out his box cannon, vigilantly observing the surroundings. Huang Yunzhi also pulled out her Colt pistol and stood back-to-back with Yang Shuo Ming.

  It was easy to wait for the "Super Computer Eye" to give a "safe" prompt, Yang Shuo Ming put away the gun in his hand, just as he had just let out a sigh of relief, Huang Yunzhi pointed to a not-too-distant place, reminding Yang Shuo Ming to pay attention.

  Yang Shuo Ming looked in the direction she was pointing, and on the side where the little deer had just disappeared, a dark cave appeared.

  Yang Shuo Ming walked closer to the entrance of the cave, observing it carefully. At this time, a gust of cold wind blew out from the entrance of the cave, feeling cool and refreshing.

  Yang Shuo Ming estimated that the height of this cave entrance was just enough to accommodate a person, and one could crawl in with their waist bent. The width was about over 1 meter.

  Yang Shuo Ming activated the "Super Computer Eye" and took a peek into the cave, only to find that there was nothing inside. He could only see that the cave continued to extend inward.

  Yang Shuo Ming thought for a moment, then crouched down and crawled into the hole. At this time, the sunlight could only shine about two meters inside the cave, beyond that was complete darkness.

  "It's so cold..." Following Yang Shuo Ming into the cave, Huang Yunzhi felt a chill run down her spine as a wave of eerie cold air hit her in the face, and she couldn't help but shiver.

  Yang Shuo Ming took off his own outer garment and put it on his beloved wife, then picked up a stone and threw it into the cave. All he could hear was the sound of the stone rolling and falling deeper and deeper into the cave. Yang Shuo Ming pricked up his ears to listen carefully, wanting to know how far down the stone would roll before stopping. But all he heard was the sound of the stone growing fainter and fainter, yet never seeming to stop.

  "This hole is really deep!" Huang Yunzhi exclaimed in surprise.

  At this time, Yang Shuo Ming suddenly remembered something and pulled Huang Yunzhi out of the cave.

  Yang Shuo Ming's gaze fell back on the entrance of the cave.

  The entrance to the cave is located at the bottom of a sloping stone wall, which is a huge and hard granite. There's nothing special about it. The surface of the entire granite is slightly bumpy and not so smooth, but the surface of the stones near the entrance is much smoother.

  This part of the stone, as if it had been frequently rubbed by something, shone brightly in the sunlight, shining with a special luster.

  "Is it really so smooth here?" Huang Yunzhi stretched out her hand to touch the surface of the stone, and immediately guessed Yang Shuo's idea. "Could it be that deer often come to this cave?"

  "That's right, there should be more than one or two deer coming here." Yang Shuo Ming nodded, "And they come here frequently."

  "Why do deer often come here?" Huang Yunzhi asked.

  Yang Shuo Ming was originally there concentrating on his thoughts, heard her question, and couldn't help but smile.

  "If you want to know the answer, let's go in and take a look." Yang Shuo Ming said to her, "Dare or not?"

  Huang Yunzhi looked at the dark and gloomy cave entrance, hesitated for a moment, but when her gaze returned to Yang Shuoming's body, a confident light flashed in her eyes again.

  "Then please accompany me inside for a look, husband."

  Yang Shuo Ming smiled and nodded, starting to prepare for entering the cave.

  Yang Shuo Ming brought a long rope of about 500 meters, one end fixed at the entrance of the cave, then lit torches and entered the cave with Huang Yunzhi. This rope can prevent emergencies in the cave, they can withdraw from the original road at any time.

  After checking that everything was ready, Yang Shuo Ming lit a torch and he and Huang Yunzhi re-entered the cave one after another.

  Yang Shuo Ming held the torch in his hand, illuminating the narrow passage inside the cave as he moved forward cautiously. Along with his line of sight, the "Super Computer Eye" began to give out prompts continuously.

  As the couple walked forward about eighty meters, a slightly wider open space appeared. On both sides of the passage were rugged rocks, reflecting the glow of torches, extending all the way to the depths of the earth and then turning inward again.

  As we walked further ahead, the passage in front of us began to become rugged again. On the right side of the passage, there was a deep and wide chasm that stretched across, like a huge rock fissure. Yang Shouming carefully shone his torch on it, but the bottom of the chasm was not visible. The stone quality was very hard, and it should be entirely composed of granite.

  As we move forward, the passage begins to drop steeply and turn sharply, like a curved corridor, making one feel that this is not quite a natural formation.

  "Isn't this an ancient tunnel dug by people?" Huang Yunzhi also noticed the unusual place of the passage and asked involuntarily.

  "No." Yang Shuo Ming explained to his wife based on the analysis of "Super Computer Eye": "This should have been a long, long time ago. Due to the appearance of a fault, rainwater flowed into the fissure in the fault and continuously eroded it, finally forming this."

  "It would take at least several hundred years to form such a vast underground passageway, wouldn't it?" Huang Yunzhi gazed around the corridor at the strangely shaped rocks, her beautiful eyes wide with wonder.

  "It'll take several hundred million years." Yang Shuo Ming smiled and replied.

  The two of them stepped carefully and steadily on the rocks, moving forward slowly. The surroundings were eerily silent, with not a single sound to be heard, except for the faint echoes of their footsteps, which sometimes seemed loud and at other times were swallowed up by the rocks as if they had never existed.

  The deeper they went, the darker it became inside the cave, seeming bottomless. Huang Yunzhi held a gun in one hand and tightly grasped Yang Shouming's hand with the other.

  Yang Shuo Ming knew his wife must be very scared at this time. Although it was not very convenient for the two to walk hand in hand in the narrow corridor, he still held her hand, trying to alleviate her inner fear.

  Such a deep cave, even in the advanced tool era, is still a challenging test for many "donkey friends".

  Although he knew that this time's adventure in the cave was somewhat adventurous, Yang Shuo Ming still decided to give it a try.

  Because he wanted to verify the judgment he had already made at the entrance of the cave.

  If this judgment is accurate, it will play an immeasurable role in his plan to change history!

  After walking a little further forward, Yang Shuo Ming suddenly stopped in his tracks.

  At this time, the long rope had already been used up. This meant that the couple had already entered about 500 meters deep into the cave. Yang Shouming raised his torch and shone it forward, seeing the rock wall with wet water droplets silently facing him, the passage was still continuing forward as before, only the front of the cave roof had become higher, about four meters high, and both sides had also become more spacious.
