Upon entering the secret passage, the air suddenly became humid, causing Yan Huan to pause in surprise.
"Hmm? This place is quite humid."
The plastic bag led the way, and they casually pulled on the torches on the wall. The secret passage door behind them slowly closed...
Yan Huan looked around; the secret passage was pitch black, with the torchlight being the only source of light.
"Actually, I've never understood why the torches in these secret passages can burn for so long..."
"Is there really enough oxygen in this pitch-black place? If the torch goes out, won't it be too late for us to run?"
"..." The plastic bag stopped and turned around, muttering, "You're just as long-winded as my grandpa."
"That's called meticulousness!"
After walking for a while, the area ahead suddenly brightened up with incandescent lights, similar to those on the Black Tower space station.
A glimpse of green caught Yan Huan's eye.
"Those are the green plants that Grandpa cultivated. In this place full of garbage, they are quite rare."
“Indeed.” Yan Huan nodded slightly. “It’s amazing that it can grow so green in a place where there is no sun.”
Compared to the space plants Yan Huan had seen on the Black Tower Space Station, these so-called green plants were somewhat malnourished.
It's green, but the branches and leaves are as thin as plastic bags.
"So your grandfather was a scholar with a lot of leisure and refined tastes?"
Based on the information revealed by the plastic bag, an image of an elderly Dan Heng immediately came to Yan Huan's mind.
In this terrible environment, it is a blessing for these children that an adult has shown them the way out.
"Scholar?" Upon hearing this, the plastic bag paused, "It seems... that's not a bad description?"
"Isn't that right?" Yan Huan asked.
"This secret passage, and the mechanism for opening the door outside, were probably also made by your grandfather, right?"
"With this kind of hands-on ability, he can be considered a talent."
"Who said he made this secret passage?" The plastic bag looked at Yan Huan strangely.
"I did it."
"???"
"you?"
Yan Huan stared wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous.
"Did you dig this secret passage?"
"correct."
"Did you build the wall?"
"Sure."
"You made the door opening mechanism too?"
"if not."
"How old are you?"
"Didn't anyone tell you that you can't ask a girl's age?"
"Emmmm..." Yan Huan examined the plastic bag again and asked:
"So you are indeed an ordinary human, not some immortal being, right?"
"Of course."
Are you an adult?
"Is it hard to tell?"
"Awesome." Yan Huan gave her a thumbs up.
Where did you learn all this?
"You can often find books in garbage dumps."
He pulled a crumpled textbook from the plastic bag and said seriously:
There's a saying: "Read more books, and read good books."
Have you heard the story of a fishmonger who became a big shot by studying "The Art of War"?
"Brilliant."
"Of course, I can also access information using a phone I borrowed from someone else."
He put the book away in the plastic bag and then took out his phone from the Hot Sands audition.
"But this is only temporary; I have to return it to them now."
"Oh? The person who borrowed your phone was with your grandfather too?"
"Ah."
The two walked through the botanical garden, then down a long corridor, and finally—
They emerged from the other side of the mountain.
"?"
Looking at the bright light and withered trees at the cave entrance, Yan Huan asked the girl, "Have we passed by?"
"No, it's still ahead."
The plastic bag carried Yan Huan as they continued walking forward.
The two waded across a stream, climbed over two mountains, and then crossed three suspension bridges...
As dusk fell, the temperature dropped sharply.
finally--
The two returned to the junkyard.
"Damn, why did I come back?!" Looking at the familiar little house in front of her, Yan Huan was somewhat confused:
"What's the point of us going through all this trouble?!"
"Let's wait until Grandpa is done."
The plastic bag walked into the house, turned on the light, moved a chair over and sat down, explaining:
"It will be very boring if we stay here and wait."
"Look, after exercising, our physical fitness has improved a lot, right?"
"Do you feel muscle soreness? That's right, your body is built through exercise."
"..."
Yan Huan slowly walked to the plastic bag, pulled over a chair, and sat down.
Is the way you "wait for someone" always this peculiar?
"Absolutely." The little girl, resting her chin on her hand, looked at Yan Huan:
"If you're not in good physical condition, getting sick here will basically mean you have a terminal illness."
"Don't let my thinness fool you, I'm much stronger than the average child."
"..."
“Actually, you can exercise by yourself; I’m sitting down,” Yan Huan reminded her.
"No, that would be too cold to you. That's not how we treat our guests."
"I beg you, please be cold to me..."
Yan Huan took out her phone and regretted it as she opened the game:
“When you first left, you clearly said you were taking me to see your grandfather.”
"Yeah, we'll see each other soon."
"But I could have just sat and waited!"
"Sitting can easily cause hemorrhoids..."
"grass."
Yan Huan suddenly looked up.
"Huh? Wait."
"Something seems to have been added to this room."
He stood up amidst the girl's confusion, holding his phone, and paced back and forth in the cramped space.
Half a minute later, he suddenly bent down, his eyes fixed on the area under the table.
He then reached out and picked up a long, unidentified object that was twitching slightly.
It looks a bit like a whip.
"These are insect antennae." Yan Huan looked at the plastic bag:
"You have real stinging insects here?!"
The plastic bag tilted its head, puzzled:
"What is a true hibernating insect? I've never seen one..."
Chapter 1159 Super Double
Yan Huan continued her inspection of the room and suddenly noticed a slightly odd-looking piece of floorboard in the corner.
He bent down, squatted down, and suddenly flipped the floorboards up, shouting, "Hey!!"
