Chapter 5 For whom the death knell tolls (5)
No one can guess the real cause of this unexpected commotion. If there is still someone who is still awake at this moment, then he just needs to stick his head out the window and will inevitably witness a peerless and wonderful scene that will never be forgotten.
Just in the distant sky southwest of the Peach Blossom Land Scenic Area, a cloud of mushrooms that are as white as snow but stand tall as the sky is rising silently under the horizon blocked by mountains. This scene is spectacular. At about the same time, similar scenes are appearing in sequence over all human settlements along with bright pillars of fire that have slid across the atmosphere. No one is spared in the entire Northeast Asia, Asia, and even the entire earth... This is the full-scale nuclear war called the Doomsday Catastrophe.
Nuclear weapon. This sword of Damocles, which had been hanging over the head of this world for more than half a century, was in some ways an important contribution, although it once deterred the ambitious people from the attempt to provoke World War III. However, this killer weapon eventually fell on its founders.
If you ask who pressed the terrifying nuclear button, who planned to launch this crazy nuclear war that was destined to be a winner, no one can know the inside story. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the era when humans dominate this blue planet may be over at this point.
In order not to destroy the natural beauty of the Taohuayuan Scenic Area, the legendary General Company has placed all industrial equipment, including heating boilers, generators and sewage treatment and other ancillary facilities in the cave warehouse dug out of the mountain to maximize the original and natural landscape.
Apart from the essential reception and service facilities, we ensure that outsiders cannot see any trace of the industrial era. This statement seems to be very environmentally friendly and green. Unfortunately, Wu Han and other staff members sneered at each other privately, and even jokingly claimed that whoever believes in this promotion will be a big idiot. The construction time of these cave libraries is obviously much longer than the Peach Blossom Land Scenic Area.
In those empty caves that have not been developed and utilized, if carefully identified, skeptics can still easily find the wall painted with words and phrases such as "Always beware of the Soviet revisionists, prepare to defend the motherland! Dig deep into the holes and accumulate grain." Not to mention, the old instruments and equipment stored in some caves that are considered antique-level. Although Wu Han is not a mechanical professional, he can also see that these inventory is quite old.
Since I have seen the physical evidence with my own eyes, I believe that the headquarters claims that the caves in the scenic area have been newly dug out. I am afraid that there are not many top-quality people except for mentally retarded who cannot take care of themselves!
Just as Zhou Chen, Sun Meng and others in the room of the five-star luxury hotel in the Taohuayuan Scenic Area noticed a strange situation, Wu Han, who was routinely inspecting the pipeline system in the deep cave, also felt irregular shaking from the ground under his feet. Could it be an earthquake? Wu Han, who was unstable, had this thought flashed through his mind after a panic. The tragic casualties caused by the Bashu earthquake left people unforgettable, so the reason Wu Han could think of was nothing more than that.
"Dong!"
At some point, it was very hard to distract yourself. Wu Han was stunned and was not firmly at his feet. A huge force suddenly came from behind. Before he could understand what was going on, he felt like someone punched hard from behind. Wu Han's whole body leaned forward involuntarily. Unpredictable, Wu Han's head had a close and intimate contact with the cast iron pipe in front of him. This collision came too suddenly. In the short moment before that, Wu Han didn't have time to think about anything. He just turned black in front of him, and completely lost consciousness and became unconscious.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the lights in the cave had quietly faded away. Only the sudden dark red emergency light was still emitting a faint light, dim light, soaking all the surrounding objects into a blood-like red color.
"Hell! Ouch, damn, my head."
After a while, the pile of pipes that were lying on the ground suddenly moved. Then, one hand stretched out from under the cold iron pipe, and Wu Han, with a painful expression on his face, climbed out of the underneath the iron pipe with difficulty. He struggled to break free from the debris pressing on his body. Wu Han held the wall with his hand and struggled to stand up. His eyes were a little confused. He resisted the severe headaches that were coming like an electric shock. Wu Han looked around the deep corridors around and took a breath of cold air, trying to make his drowsy mind a little clearer.
After staying in place for a while, Wu Han still couldn't figure out what was going on. Finally, he covered his forehead that was hit hard with his hands, held the stone wall next to him with his other hand, and staggered towards the outside.
“Woo woo woo woo…”
In the darkness, he found a way out. When Wu Han stood at the exit of the cave, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and tried to adapt to the changes in the light outside. The period of his coma seemed to be quite short. At this time, it was already dusk outside, and the northwest wind was getting more and more chilling when it was approaching evening. As the cold wind blew across the valley, passing through the birch forests reflected in the afterglow of the sunset, it made sharp and harsh whistling sounds among the branches of the treetops, as shrill as thousands of hell ghosts hissing.
After walking out of the tunnel, Wu Han immediately noticed the changes around him. Originally, there were two rows of towering peaks on the north and south of this valley.
These hard granite mountains are as steep as a knife and axe. At this time, ice and snow with a thickness of at least 100 meters were piled up, forming a gentle slope at the foot of the mountain. This phenomenon obviously shows that the snow on the mountain slides downward after being disturbed by some powerful external force.
What happened just now? Is it really an earthquake? While rubbing the bruises on his head, Wu Han gasped and tried hard to find a reasonable explanation. However, he thought hard for a long time but still couldn't figure out the point. In the end, he had to admit that his wisdom was limited and he really couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he simply stopped considering this issue.
