Chapter 1498 Huge Crack
Chapter 1498 Huge Crack
After breakfast, everyone quickly packed up and extinguished any remaining sparks, making sure not to leave any smells or traces that would attract zombies.
The convoy slowly drove away from the camp and headed towards the unknown front.
The wheels rolled over the dilapidated asphalt road, making a low friction sound.
The dead trees on both sides seemed to have been drained of life by death, and their twisted branches pointed to the dark sky, as if silently telling the despair of this world.
After driving for about two hours, the road ahead became increasingly rugged.
The once prosperous suburbs are now in ruins.
Wild grass grows wildly among the ruins, swallowing up the former streets. Occasionally, a few collapsed buildings can be seen standing among the ruins like broken tombstones.
Suddenly, the road ahead was interrupted—
"Stop." Li Luo's voice spread throughout the convoy through the communicator, and all vehicles stopped instantly.
Everyone got out of the car and looked ahead with serious eyes.
I saw a huge and hideous crack lying across the middle of the road, like a giant mouth that swallowed everything and ruthlessly tore the earth apart.
The crack was more than sixty meters wide, dark and deep, as if it had no end. A low whistling sound of wind echoed in the darkness, like a whisper from hell, making people feel inexplicably cold in their hearts.
The edge of the crack had already collapsed, and the originally solid asphalt road seemed to have been torn into pieces by some invisible force. The cracks spread in all directions, and the broken surface was covered with cracks of varying depths, which could collapse further at any time.
The sound of rubble rolling could be heard from time to time, with a dull echo, along with the abandoned vehicles, broken steel bars and dilapidated building wreckage that were swallowed up, sinking into the dark abyss, and even the echoes were swallowed up by the endless darkness.
The air was filled with a damp and decayed smell that seemed to be rising from the depths of the cracks, carrying with it a sickening smell of mold, as if the wound of the land was slowly festering, breeding some unknown fear.
Standing on the edge of the crack, everyone held their breath involuntarily, feeling the cold wind from the abyss brushing across their cheeks, like an invisible hand touching their skin, cold and eerie, with an inexplicable warning.
Lu Jingcheng squatted down, staring down into the depths of the crack, his brows furrowed tightly, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes:
"It's too deep, I can't see the bottom at all."
His voice was low, but contained a sense of vigilance that was hard to ignore.
Chu Yuanqing stood beside him, his eyes darkened, and his voice was a little nervous:
“This is not a naturally occurring crack.”
He paused, a thoughtful look in his eyes, "It's very likely caused by a high-level zombie."
Li Luo glanced around, and an atmosphere of alertness quietly spread.
It was dead silent here, and the air was filled with a rotten smell.
If this is really the activity area of high-level zombies, then it means that the safety here is worrying.
She took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and thought to herself:
If this is the territory of high-level zombies, they need to be more careful.
Zhou Mei asked softly, "Take a detour?"
Lin Hai raised his eyebrows, then pointed to the map in his hand and said calmly and steadily: "No."
He glanced at the map and pointed to a straight route. "If we take a detour, it will take at least two days. Moreover, the area we pass through was once a military restricted area. We know nothing about the situation inside, and it may be full of unknown dangers."
The air suddenly became heavy, and the team members' eyes alternated between the crack and the map. They all knew in their hearts that taking a detour might be a more risky option.
Li Luo's eyes fixed on the crack again, as if weighing the risks and possibilities of this path.
She spoke slowly, her voice firm and calm: "Then there is only one way - we build a bridge."
The team members were stunned for a moment, then reacted, exchanged glances with each other, and then showed confident smiles.
That’s right, they are not ordinary people, and this kind of difficulty is nothing to them.
Lu Jingcheng was the first to react, a gleam in his eyes, and he whispered, "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and a ball of blazing flame surged in his palm.
