Chapter 432 36 underground spaces

For a moment, Qi Yuan felt that they were not guilty of such a crime!

The man continued to cry and told the story of the past few months.

"After we came here, the cave was too dark. We couldn't survive at all, so we had to find a way to make fire by drilling wood."

"But drilling wood to make fire is not that easy. We tried for more than a week and failed."

"During this period, we could only use this kind of grass on the ground..."

"What the hell? You survived by eating this kind of grass?"

Qi Yuan raised his voice instantly, his eyes full of shock and anger.

Tilting his head, he immediately found that there was indeed a large piece of small-leaf cattail on the ground, which had been pulled out of the ground, leaving only the turned mud and residue.

The man nodded in horror and explained, "That was true at first, but we later discovered that this grass can provide oxygen, so we didn't dare to eat it."

Qi Yuan looked unhappy and said impatiently, "Okay, go on."

"We spent half a month, our hands were almost all worn out, and we could barely light a fire."

"But at this time, this plant that can release oxygen has been eaten by us. So another serious problem has emerged - we have no oxygen."

"In order to survive, we can only collect the seeds of this plant, and then plant it on a large scale in the cave to barely make up for the oxygen supply."

At this point, Qi Yuan turned and looked at the cave, and found that it was indeed full of a large number of small-leaf cattails.

The man continued.

"During this period, we found a kind of mushroom that can be used as our food and can also replenish a certain amount of water..."

"But this mushroom has a characteristic - it is extremely easy to burn!"

At this point in the story, the man's face burned by the fire twitched slightly under the light of the night light: "Once when we were sleeping, we put mushrooms next to the fire, which caused a fire."

"Because there were a lot of mushrooms stored around us, and hay under our bodies. At the same time, because there was a lot of grass that released oxygen around us, the fire was so big that it was unimaginable!"

"So, out of 30 people, only I survived."

"For more than a month later, I couldn't light a fire and could only return to my previous life. But this time, I only had one person..."

After listening to the story, Qi Yuan felt miserable.

It is really unimaginable that a fire took the lives of 29 people.

This also made Qi Yuan realize that the small-leaved cattail can produce a lot of oxygen, and once it encounters flames, it has a very strong combustion-promoting effect.

If you add flammable items, it will definitely be a disaster!

In the future, if there are people living underground, they must strictly prohibit the use of flames to prevent fire disasters.

When he came to his senses, he saw that the man in front of him looked extremely miserable now, especially in the depths of his pupils, the fear had almost condensed into substance, and Qi Yuan couldn't bear to see it.

Although he was extremely evil and did a lot of fraud in District 7, he was punished after all.

Qi Yuan raised his eyes and said calmly: "I made a mistake and was punished. I should let you go. I will send you back to the gathering place. Live a good life in the future."

"No, I can't leave..."

Qi Yuan looked at him in confusion, a little puzzled.

He didn't say anything, but unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his body burned by the fire. The entire right half of the upper body was covered with traces of severe burns.

Then, the entire right leg.

"I am already disabled, and I can't survive even if I return to the super shelter. I only ask for a way to survive..."

He raised his eyes upward, transcending the original good and evil of a person, leaving only the purest desire to survive.

It seemed that at this moment, he had abandoned all the good and evil views, world views, and values ​​of life, leaving only the most instinctive desire in his heart.

Qi Yuan shook his head lightly: "I can't cure your disease, and even if I can, I can't pay such a high price for you."

"Similarly, I can't raise a useless person for no reason. On my territory, you must work and survive."

Hearing this, the man's eyes gradually dimmed.

"But..."

Qi Yuan opened his mouth again, and the man's disappointed eyes raised again, staring closely at the eyes of the person in front of him.

"I have a way that may allow you to recover and gain powerful strength. However...if you fail, you will die. Are you willing to try?"

With timidity in his eyes, the man asked tentatively: "Can it really be recovered?"

"You don't think it's too good, but if the result goes well, it can indeed..."

Before he finished speaking, he immediately rushed to say: "I am willing to try, I am willing..."

Qi Yuan nodded, turned and walked deep underground, leaving only one sentence, floating in the empty and dark cave.

"Wait for me here, I will take you away later."

Then, Qi Yuan started to do business.

At the head, there is another passage that can connect to another underground cave.

Last time, due to insufficient time and insufficient planning, it was not all opened.

This time, Qi Yuan plans to see how many spaces there are under the entire "Training Island No. 1".

The queen bee of the spirit tree appeared behind him, and the huge vines spread, poking open the passage in front.

A new turtle shell space appeared, which was very similar in size and shape.

It's just that this place is already filled with dense ice blocks and a huge amount of meat, and the quality is very high, almost all of them are excellent memories.

This is the underground ice storage specially built by Qi Yuan to store food.

If the 30 criminals knew that there was endless food to eat just across the wall from them, would they feel sad?

After blocking the passage here again, Qi Yuan continued to explore deeper.

In the next few hours, Qi Yuan shuttled through one cave after another.

Every time he explored a new cave, he would put a luminous stone at the entrance of the cave as a mark.

After a total of five hours, he completely explored the underground of "Training Island No. 1".

He was surprised to find that not all the underground was densely packed with tortoise shell spaces.

There was originally a smaller island here.

Before the spirit turtles died, they turned into a part of the island, attached to the edge of the original island, making the island expand again.

The first hole found seemed to be located in the northwest of the island, close to the center. But the location of the underground turtle shell space is actually in the northwest of the island.

All the turtle shell spaces surround the edge of "Training Island No. 1" to form a large circle.

After calculation, it was found that a total of 36 turtle shell spaces of different sizes were found.

The largest turtle shell is located on the east side of the island, with a length of more than 500 meters, which is four or five times larger than the rare-level spirit turtle.

The smallest turtle shell is only about 50 meters, and its actual size has just reached the rare level.

This phenomenon gave Qi Yuan a new guess.

Perhaps a long time ago, there was not only one spirit turtle, but a large population.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to find so many turtle shells of different sizes!

But the time is too old, whether it is as expected, Qi Yuan has no way of knowing, and he has no interest in exploring.

The biggest interest now is to think about how to make use of these 36 underground turtle shell spaces!
