After a minute, Luo Yuan asked it to stop.
There was a pit about eight meters deep and ten meters wide in the ground. Luo Yuan looked at the pit and jumped into it to listen carefully. Unfortunately, he did not hear anything, not even a faint breathing sound.
Luo Yuan jumped out of the pit and asked King Kong to continue digging.
Twenty minutes later, the pit had expanded to a depth of more than ten meters and a width of more than ten meters. The depth was beyond the shelter's location, but Luo Yuan could not find any trace of the shelter. There was only a faint smell of blood coming from the pit.
Judging from the composition of the gravel at the bottom of the pit, the shelter had been squeezed into a ball by the movement of the tectonic plates. It was crushed into powder and even mixed with the rocks.
Luo Yuan did not ask King Kong to stop. He asked it to continue digging. He did not believe that there was no survivor in the huge shelter.
As they dug deeper, the smell of blood got stronger. Even the soil had a glaring dark red color. Soon, King Kong found a dead body. It was thrown far away along with the gravel, causing everyone to scream.
Of course, it was not appropriate to call it a dead body. It was just a pile of flesh mixed with the soil. Its bones had been completely crushed. If it were not for the torn clothes, no one would have been able to tell that it was a dead body.
King Kong noticed that everyone was behaving strangely and quickly stopped. It seemed to have guessed what it had just dug up. It looked at Luo Yuan helplessly with an innocent face.
Due to its constant interaction with humans and Luo Yuan's constant education, it was very sensitive to small humans wearing clothes. Even though it had just thrown away a dead body, it still felt like it had done something wrong.
However, Luo Yuan did not teach it a lesson this time. Instead, he asked it to continue digging.
King Kong hesitated for a moment before it continued digging. The deeper it dug, the more corpses appeared. Every few seconds, a corpse would be dug out. However, King Kong would carefully carry the corpse and patiently place it at the edge of the pit.
This kind of mutated beast caused Zhang Wu and the others to feel horrified. They looked at each other in dismay. Who would have thought that such a terrifying beast would actually have such a high intelligence?
However, Luo Yuan was not surprised at all. He knew very well that an intelligent individual was not as scary as an intelligent race. Even if they were 10 times smarter, the threat they posed to humans would still be limited.
Not long after, King Kong reached the bottom. It was all fine sand and rocks. Luo Yuan observed for a while and asked it to dig horizontally.
However, the entire sanctuary seemed to have been completely squeezed together, and there was no empty space in front of them. Only when the sky turned dark did the light of hope appear.
A loud noise came from the entrance of the cave. Luo Yuan was stunned for a moment before he jumped into the cave with a smile on his face.
Currently, the entire pit was more than 30 meters deep and 100 meters wide. It looked like the site of a meteorite crash. Such a large-scale project only took King Kong half a day's work. This did not include the huge tunnel at the bottom that was hundreds of meters deep. If there was such a beast before the apocalypse, even if it was just digging tunnels, it could become a billionaire in a year.
Luo Yuan asked Huang Jiahui to throw him a flashlight. He took it and walked quickly along the tunnel with his knife. After a while, he reached the end of the tunnel. He saw that there was a collapse on the left side of the tunnel. More than 10 tons of gravel had buried half of King Kong's body.
Of course, to a giant beast like King Kong, this kind of damage was nothing more than a tickle. It did not care at all and continued to dig forward. It only stopped when it sensed Luo Yuan's presence. It walked away from the pile of rubble with a single step.
King Kong's existence made the spacious tunnel very crowded. Luo Yuan asked it to lean against the side and turned on the flashlight to observe the side of the collapse. The gravel was very loose. Obviously, it had not been compressed by the tectonic plates. There was a high possibility that there was an intact space in front of it.
"Dig this way!" Luo Yuan pointed to the left side of the tunnel and said, "Be gentle and slow!"
Luo Yuan repeated and King Kong understood what Luo Yuan meant. It had been doing the same thing for the whole afternoon. It had heard the same order more than 10 times, so it had already understood the general meaning.
In order to avoid the danger of collapse, Luo Yuan stepped back more than 10 meters.
King Kong only needed to dig twice on the left side of the wall before it completely collapsed, revealing a hole that was more than a meter high. A strong smell of blood and the unique smell of rotten corpses came out of the hole. The pungent smell made Luo Yuan take a few steps back.
He took a deep breath and asked King Kong to leave. Then, he crouched down and went into the hole.
The air inside was dirty and dark. Looking at the white light from the flashlight, Luo Yuan saw that it was a mess inside. There were broken gravel everywhere. Some areas were completely supported by collapsed gravel. It looked like it was going to collapse at any time.
A large number of corpses were lying on the ground. Most of them had purple faces and looked ferocious. Obviously, they had died of suffocation due to a lack of oxygen for a long time. Luo Yuan walked around but found no survivors other than the corpses.
At this moment, his ears moved slightly, and he listened attentively. Then, a trace of joy appeared on his face, and he quickly walked to a collapsed pile of concrete. The sound became more obvious. Weak voices and painful moans came from the cracks of the pile of concrete.
"There are still people alive!" Luo Yuan was surprised.
He looked at the huge pile of rocks and the cramped environment in front of him. It was obvious that he could not call King Kong over. Otherwise, it would collapse again. He put down the flashlight and the handle of his knife and went to move the rocks. Most of the rocks were concrete that had fallen from the ceiling. Each of them was huge, weighing a few tons. Even the smallest one weighed a few hundred kilograms. Fortunately, Luo Yuan had brought his Zhanmadao with him. If he could not move them, he would cut them into small pieces.
The movement quickly attracted the attention of the survivors inside.
"Is there anyone outside?" a weak voice asked.
"Wait for a while, I'll get you out immediately!" Luo Yuan shouted. His hearing was sharp, but the others did not have such good hearing. With such a thick pile of gravel, it was impossible to hear their voices if they did not shout.
"It's useless. We're not going out. It's just a matter of time before we die," another voice said in despair after a moment of silence.
"Who said we can't get out? How did I get in?" Luo Yuan said as he threw a 300-400 kilogram rock aside.
There was a commotion inside, and the voice became excited. "Wait, you were sent by the higher-ups to rescue us."
"You'll know how many people are still alive," Luo Yuan said.
"Eight, no! Nine! One of them is seriously injured and unconscious, but he can still be saved! "someone said quickly.
With hope of survival, the people inside also started to save themselves by moving the rocks.
"Do you know if there are any other places where people are still alive?" Luo Yuan asked.
"I'm not sure. I heard some people calling for help when the earthquake happened, but it's gone now. I don't know if there are still people alive."
…
"Luo Yuan, where are you?" Huang Jiahui's voice came from outside. Apparently, she was worried that Luo Yuan would not come back after a long time.
"I'm here!" Luo Yuan quickly shouted. "Be careful, it's dangerous here."
There were quite a lot of people coming over. All the people outside had come over. Their faces were pale, obviously agitated by the corpses and the strong smell of blood.
"Come and help, there are still people alive inside," Luo Yuan said.
Everyone was excited, and they all came forward to help. As a group of people joined in, the efficiency increased.
At 9: 10 p.m., the hill-like pile of rocks was finally dug through.
