Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 49: Cliff Shelter
Lu Xian judged that the shelter should not be far away.

In the recording, Fang Shuxin said that he originally dug this shelter for his own fun, but he didn't expect it to come in handy in the end.

Therefore, Fang Shuxin didn't need to run too far.

Moreover, looking at the direction of the mountain road after entering the mountain, if it is too far, the cliffs outside the road will definitely become higher and higher, which is very dangerous and not easy to dig.

Just as he expected, the drone flew a short distance off the road and then hovered in mid-air. The two eyes of the mechanical dog in the car also lit up.

Lu Xian braked to a stop, got out of the car with Yao Wei, and walked to the edge of the road to look.

There was a railing on the edge of the cliff, but wild grass had grown up the road, becoming so messy that it had even entangled the railing.

The two of them cut the grass on the railing, pushed aside some overgrown weeds, and held on to the railing before they could look down. The cliff here was not too high, but it was actually not low either, with two floors up and down.

There was a hole in the middle of the cliff. Lu Xi and Yao Wei vaguely saw that there were small pieces of porcelain sticking to the edge of the hole.

A bamboo curtain in a diamond shape was hung on one side of the cave entrance. The bamboo on the curtain was sparse, as if a lot of it had been removed.

Lu Xian saw that it was a curtain that used to be hung at the entrance of the cave as a door. The rope used to hang it had weathered and broken due to years of disrepair, so it looked like this.

"I never imagined this shelter would be carved out of the cliff face. No wonder Fang Shuxin called it 'dug' in the recording."

Lu Xian looked at the cave entrance and said something.

The bottom edge of the cave entrance is more than two meters above the ground. It is not easy to go up or down this cliff.

If this shelter was dug before the end of the world, then it seems that Fang Shuxin really has a hobby of building shelters.

Digging a hole here is not easy.

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded in agreement.

However, her understanding was slightly different from Lu Xian's. She was thinking of those old humans.

She had never seen the original appearance of natural humans, but she knew that there were no new humans in the old world.

Look at those old humans who always age quickly and have so many survival problems. How difficult it must be to carry out such a big project!
Yao Wei couldn't help but admire him.

"Wait here, I'll go down and take a look."

Lu Xian said.

Yao Wei still said "hmm" and did not object.

She knew that in this situation, someone needed to stay by the car to be on guard, on the one hand to help cover Lu Xian, and on the other hand to keep an eye on her own car.

There is no shelter in front or behind the road, unlike before, when we could squeeze into the corner behind the gas station building and had to park on the road.

If both of them got off, the car would be discovered and targeted by passers-by, which would be disastrous.

She held the pistol in her hand and stared at the car.

And Lu Xian had already fallen off the cliff.

There should have been a rope ladder hanging on the cliff. Lu Xian found a knot in the rope at the bottom of a railing. It had become very brittle and was deformed by the weeds.

However, there was only a dead knot left here. Lu Xian guessed that Fang Shuxin had cut the rope ladder tied here when he left to prevent anyone from entering through his rope ladder.

The lack of a rope ladder didn’t matter to Lu Xian.

He found an axe, held it in his hand, turned over and jumped over the railing, swung the axe hard into the cliff wall, and then hung on the cliff wall.

Unfortunately, the soil of this cliff is not soft enough, otherwise, he could slide down with the axe like Kratos.

He swung the axe, moved it down a little, chopped it again, swung it again, chopped it again, swung it again, chopped it again, and soon he reached the entrance of the cave. He swung the axe again, exerted force with his waist, and jumped in.

Fortunately, I have enough waist strength. This series of movements tests the waist strength the most.

New humans are so good! Lu Xian sighed in his heart, and his feet landed in the hole.

This is a hole dug out along the cliff wall. The top and three side walls are supported and fixed with logs, but small rectangular tiles are laid at the foot.

There is even a small fireplace carved out of the wall on one side of the cave.

Lu Xian leaned out to take a look. The chimney of the fireplace came out from the cliff behind the wall on that side. It looked like it had been chiseled out and the pipes were buried.

The furnishings inside are very simple, with a small square table and a lazy sofa.

The sofa was furry and unseatable. On the square table sat a kettle and an army green enamel mug, the paint peeling and in disrepair.

If this place is a refuge, it should only be for those who want to escape from wild beasts in the mountains and forests.

Or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a mountain campsite rather than a shelter.

Lu Xian thought that if it were in his previous life, when he was traveling in the wild, he would probably be happy to rest in a place like this, sit on the lazy sofa in the cliff cave, and listen quietly to the sounds of the forest.

But in the end times, it is not suitable for living.

No wonder Fang Shuxin came here just to receive radio signals instead of taking refuge.

However, Lu Xian still couldn't understand it. Compared to the gas station, this place was more remote. Shouldn't the signal be worse?

Why can’t Fang Shuxin receive the signal at home, but can here?

If you can’t think of a clear and distinct reason, just think of it as the difference between two different worlds.

Lu Xian stopped thinking about these things that were of no use to him now and started looking.

The cliff cave was not big, and the furnishings inside were clearly visible. Lu Xian saw the sofa, table, kettle and enamel cup, but he did not see the radio that Fang Shuxin mentioned.

It's time to bring the dog down.

he thought to himself.

But the cave is on the cliff, and it is not easy to cross the cliff with the dog. If the dog falls down and gets hurt by mistake, it will be more trouble than gain.

Or just look for it yourself...

Lu Xian looked around carefully again. The sofas and tables had been moved away. He even picked up the lazy sofa and shook it, but found nothing.

Looking around, his eyes suddenly caught sight of the fireplace that had been carved out of logs cut from the wall of the house. With an idea in mind, he reached in and knocked on each wall of the fireplace.

"Boom boom boom——"

At last a distinctly hollow sound arose from the fireplace.

He fumbled around for a while and seemed to find a gap, so he put his finger in and pressed it down.

A rectangular, soft object slid into his hand.

I pulled my hand back and saw something wrapped in cloth.

After peeling off the layers of cloth, inside was a cold black rectangle with a row of metal buttons on the top. There was a speaker in the front of the rectangle, sealed by a mesh opening.

It really is a radio!
He pressed the button on the top of the radio, but it didn't respond. He checked it carefully again and saw a cover on the back of the radio. He rubbed it open and found nothing inside.

No batteries.

Isn't this a coincidence?

Lu Xian recalled the battery model in the drone and couldn't help but smile.

The goddess of luck favors me again!
Now, I have my own battery.
