Apocalypse: I pick up trash in a survival game

Chapter 410: Rift, fluorescent creatures.

Because Longhu Wetland Park is quite far away, and the terrain was changed by the polar night and the previous earthquake, the journey was extremely slow.

The originally flat road is now covered with cracks and rubble, and occasionally collapsed buildings can be seen across the road, as if reminding everyone of the great disaster that this land once suffered.

The darkness of the polar night makes the surroundings seem even more gloomy, and only the light from the car lights draws a faint path of light in the endless darkness.

After driving for several hours, everyone stopped the car in front of a broken valley.

The sight before me was frightening.

The originally continuous mountain range was torn apart by the tremendous force, forming a bottomless rift that was tens of meters wide, like a giant mouth of the earth, swallowing up all life that approached.

The rocks at the edge of the rift were jagged, as if they had been torn apart by some tremendous force. There was a faint smell of burning in the air, as if the earth was still groaning in pain from the disaster.

Obviously, cars cannot pass through such a section of road.

Suning stood at the edge of the rift, looked down at the bottomless darkness, frowned: "It seems that we need to rely on ourselves for the rest of the journey." Her voice echoed over the empty rift, sounding particularly clear.

Kou Dingshan also put the car into the storage bag, patted the dust on his hands, and said calmly but with a hint of solemnity: "This rift must have been caused by the previous earthquake. I have been to Longhu Wetland Park before, and there was no such rift on this road before."

Gu Cheng'an stood at the edge of the rift, closed his eyes slightly, raised his hands gently, and used his ability as if to feel every flow in the air.

As he moved, a gentle breeze slowly rose and surrounded him.

The wind gradually grew stronger, and a whistling sound came from the depths of the rift valley, as if responding to his call.

"This valley is not low," Gu Cheng'an detected using his ability.

Gu Cheng'an's ability allows him to control the power of the wind. Although the height of the rift is daunting, he is confident that he can slowly fly over it with the help of the wind.

Ji Fengyan also felt that he could control gravity to allow everyone to cross the valley, but for some reason his talent could not be fully utilized in the previous copy. Now he joined this team with Tang Yuanbin to restore his own strength.

Jiang Nana stood aside, thinking with her head down.

Her white crane monster and Suning's broiler chicken are both capable of flying. If they are used, perhaps they can bring everyone over in batches.

However, this would require several round trips, which is not very efficient, and there may also be unknown dangers encountered during the flight.

Just as everyone was preparing to act, Zhang Li, who had been silently observing the surroundings, suddenly frowned.

Her eyes were fixed on the rift below her feet. Just now, a faint green light seemed to flash across her sight.

The light was so short-lived that she almost wondered if it was an illusion.

But she was sure she was not mistaken.

"Everyone, wait a moment!" Zhang Li suddenly said, pointing to the bottom of the rift valley. "I seemed to see a flash of light in the rift valley just now. This is definitely not an illusion."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Zhang Li.

Kou Dingshan immediately activated his talent - Eagle Eyes.

His eyes instantly became as sharp as knives, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his pupils.

Although it was dark all around and his talent might be hindered, he carefully scanned the depths of the rift and sure enough, in the dark crevice, a faint green light flashed by, and although it was brief, it was clearly visible.

"Hey, there really is a light!" Kou Dingshan said in surprise, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

This discovery immediately attracted everyone's attention.

It was obviously unusual that there was light deep in the rift.

In the polar night environment, any light source appears particularly abrupt, let alone in a place like this in a rift valley formed by an earthquake.

A sense of curiosity and vigilance arose in everyone's hearts.

Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted by this mysterious light, Suning also began to have the idea of ​​exploring.

So, she suggested, "Why don't we explore? Since there's light, there might be something there."

"Okay, Longhu Wetland Park is not far away anyway, so it's fine to walk the rest of the way." Kou Dingshan said, and looked around. His eyes lingered on the broken rocks and twisted terrain for a moment, as if he was evaluating the next route.

Everyone had no objection and nodded in agreement.

Suning's proposal immediately received a response from everyone.

But before setting off, everyone agreed to take a short rest before exploring the rift.

Suning sat on a relatively flat rock, took out a bottle of water from his backpack and took a sip.

Her eyes were a little wandering, as if she was still thinking about something.

The dead deer that had died of the virus that she had seen earlier kept appearing in her mind.

The virus in that deer carcass was sickening.

However, what made Suning most uneasy was that the corpse actually trembled when they approached.

Although it was only a moment, Suning was sure that he was not mistaken.

The trembling did not seem to be caused by the wind, but more like some kind of force stirring inside the corpse.

"This virus doesn't seem to be simple." Suning muttered to himself, frowning even more tightly.

She tried to absorb and integrate the poison, but found that it was not easy to absorb.

The toxin seems to contain some strange energy, which is completely different from ordinary viruses.

It seemed to have life, able to resist her abilities and even tried to counterattack her power.

Suning knew that if he wanted to understand the virus in more detail, it would take more time and experiments to verify it.

After a good rest, everyone unanimously decided that Gu Chengan and Jiang Nana's white crane monster would go down and explore first.

Gu Cheng'an nodded, the wind swirling around him, ready to take action at any time.

Jiang Nana also patted the white crane monster's wings, signaling it to get ready.

Kou Dingshan continued to observe with his eagle eyes, trying to find the source of the light.

Others waited for a signal at the edge of the rift.

With the help of the wind, Gu Cheng'an slowly floated towards the depths of the rift valley, while the white crane monster followed closely behind with Jiang Nana on board.

The darkness of the rift was like a huge mouth, gradually swallowing up their figures.

As the two went deeper into the rift, the green light appeared again, this time more clearly.

Jiang Nana exclaimed and pointed at the light source, "Where is the light source!"

Of course Gu Chengan also discovered it.

The source of the light seemed to be a cave hidden in the rock wall. The entrance of the cave was blocked by several huge rocks. If it weren't for the light shining through, it would be almost impossible to find.

Gu Chengan and Jiang Nana looked at each other, and an inexplicable excitement rose in their hearts.

Afterwards, when they found that the surroundings were safe, they signaled everyone to come down.

After Suning came down, he saw everyone surrounding the blocked entrance of the cave, with different expressions on their faces.

From the cracks in the cave, a green light flickered, like some mysterious life breathing, with a strange attraction. Zhang Li stood at the front, frowning slightly, and whispered, "There really is light, but I don't know what kind of light it is. Is it from plants? Or from living things?"

Suning walked forward, his eyes fixed on the flashing green light, a strong sense of curiosity and vigilance rising in his heart.

She has always been a person of action and doesn't like to hesitate in the face of the unknown, so she simply said, "Just go in and take a look and you'll know."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fengyan walked to the entrance of the cave. His ability was just enough to move these rocks.

Of course, Jiang Nana's ability to change the weight of objects also helped a lot at this time.

Ji Fengyan took a deep breath and raised his hands slightly with his palms facing down, as if he was feeling some invisible force.

As he moved, the air around him seemed to grow heavier.

His gift is the ability to control gravity and move huge objects.

He just waved his hand lightly, and the huge rocks blocking the entrance of the cave seemed to lose their weight, slowly floating up, and then were steadily moved aside.

As the cave opened, the green light became brighter, as if inviting everyone to enter.

Everyone looked at each other, and although they were a little nervous, they still stepped into the cave.

When Suning entered, the scene in front of her stunned her instantly.

At this moment, Suning seemed to have entered a fantasy world, and the scenery around her was completely beyond her imagination.

Others also came in one after another, their faces also filled with shock and disbelief.

"What...what are these things?" Kou Dingshan muttered to himself, with an undisguised look of surprise in his voice.

The space inside the cave was much larger than they had imagined, like a huge underground world.

The most eye-catching are the plants that emit a bright green light. They grow densely on the walls and ground of the cave, like countless tiny lights, illuminating the entire cave.

These plants have various shapes. Some look like vines, entwined around the rock walls; some look like giant mushrooms, with caps covered with dense fluorescent spots; and some look like crystal flowers, with petals as transparent as jade, but with green light flashing inside.

Not only that, the creatures in the cave are also jaw-dropping.

Their bodies glowed green like those glowing plants.

Some creatures look like butterflies, with wings covered with fluorescent patterns, dancing in the air; some look like lizards, with skin covered with glowing scales, crawling quickly on the rock walls.

The entire cave seems to be an ecosystem independent of the outside world, full of mystery and unknown.

Everyone stood at the entrance of the cave, like invaders who had broken into this world, and for a moment they were at a loss as to what to do.

"This place... is like another world." Jiang Nana whispered.

Suning took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

She knew that although everything before her was beautiful, it might also hide great dangers.

She turned to look at everyone and said in a firm tone: "Now that we are here, let's explore it. But everyone be careful, we don't understand the things here, so don't touch them easily."

Everyone nodded and became more alert.

They began to move forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution.

The air in the cave is a little humid, with a faint scent of grass and trees, as if you are in a huge greenhouse.

As they moved deeper into the cave, the glowing creatures seemed to react to their arrival.

Some glowing butterflies flew to their side and circled around them, as if looking at these uninvited guests curiously.

The glowing lizards quickly hid in the cracks of the rock wall, leaving only green traces of light.

"These creatures... don't seem to be afraid of humans." Zhang Li whispered, reaching out and gently touching a glowing butterfly that flew in front of her.

The butterfly's wings were soft to the touch, as if with a hint of warmth, and the light flickered on her fingertips, looking particularly dreamy.

Suning squatted down and carefully observed the luminous plants on the ground.

[Mutated Fluorescent Grass]: It can produce fluorescence for some reason.

Suning discovered that the roots of these plants seemed to be integrated with the rocks, as if they were growing out of the stones.

She tried to touch a glowing mushroom with her fingertips. The surface of the mushroom was cool and smooth, and the light inside fluctuated slightly with her touch, as if it had life.

The data given by using the Scavenger's Eye is no different from that of [Mutated Fluorescent Grass].

It is for some reason that the main body produces fluorescence.

Suning continued to use the Scavenger's Eye to detect other creatures and plants.

【Mutated fluorescent butterfly】

【Mutated fluorescent mushrooms】

【Mutated Firefly】

Wait...they are all mutated fluorescent biological plants.

Suning's eyes were still fixed on the glowing plants and creatures: "These plants and creatures... seem to be able to fluoresce for some reason."

There was a hint of doubt and thought in Suning's tone, his brows slightly furrowed, and he was obviously trying to analyze the phenomenon in front of him.

Jiang Nana listened and replied in a threatening tone, "Is this true? Since plants and animals can glow, if we stay here for a long time, will we also be affected by this power and glow as well?"

Her voice echoed in the cave, with a hint of exaggerated worry, but it also made everyone laugh.

Kou Dingshan touched his head and said with disgust: "I don't want to emit such light, especially from the top of my head."

After he finished speaking, he took a deliberate look at the green light around him, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at Kou Dingshan's head, then looked at the green light around them, and immediately understood what he meant.

There is a green light above your head. This is not a good sign.

Jiang Nana couldn't help but roll her eyes: "You are such a frivolous person!"

Maybe because of the impact of the virus along the way, everyone's emotions were a little depressed, especially Ji Fengyan and Tang Yuanbin, who remained silent.

Now, hearing the conversation between Jiang Nana and Kou Dingshan, the young couple, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the atmosphere became a lot more relaxed.

After laughing, Tang Yuanbin quickly regained his composure and said in a steady tone: "However, if we can find out why these plants and organisms glow, we can try to cultivate similar luminous plants. In this way, in the polar night environment, shelters or bases will no longer need to fear the darkness."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up.

This proposal undoubtedly touched everyone's heart.

In the polar night environment, darkness is the biggest enemy. If these luminous plants can be utilized, it will undoubtedly bring great convenience to their survival.

Su Ning nodded and agreed, saying, "Tang Yuanbin is right. This is indeed a direction worth exploring. However, we must first figure out the principles of luminescence of these plants and organisms before we can proceed to the next step of research."

Gu Chengan also echoed: "That's right, these plants and creatures are completely different from the outside world. We need to be careful to avoid causing unnecessary danger."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Although the scene before them was amazing, they also knew that this underground world was full of unknowns and they could be in danger if they were not careful.
