C86 (1/2)

”What are you talking about?” San Mao was obviously dissatisfied with the Taoist's superfluous words, and fiercely patted him on the shoulder as he shouted.

The Taoist shuddered and raised his head. His face was filled with panic as his eyes glazed over —

”The Bible... Revelation... It all came true in one fell swoop... The economic collapse, the plague, the earthquake, the plane crash... ”To the end...”

”Last what?” I asked.

”The ultimate judgment. The dead were also tried. Many of the people who were sentenced, along with Satan, were thrown into the lake of fire and died the second time! ”

MaggieQ interjected suddenly, in a calm tone.

At this moment, the sounds of scratching and slapping outside of the coffin suddenly stopped. The creepy moans gradually faded away, and after a series of splashing sounds, it suddenly became silent.

It was as if we had suddenly crossed from the noisy center of the city to the depths of the mountains and valleys. The coffin quieted down, leaving only our pale faces and the thumping of our hearts.

”They're gone!” It wasn't until MaggieQ whispered something that I came back to myself.

When we opened the lid and stepped out of the coffin, the living dead were nowhere to be seen, the puddles had disappeared, the monster zombies were like monsters in a closet that I had dreamt of when I was a kid. If it wasn't for the water stains on the floor, I would have thought it was just a dream.

Although MaggieQ said that the next Zombie tide would not reappear until four hours after the two ponds had been flooded, we had plenty of time to explore the exit. But it was close to the early hours of the morning, and our group was already exhausted. We didn't have much food left, and we didn't know how long we could keep up with the battery from the flashlight.

The five of us split up and searched around. Only then did I realize that there wasn't a single thing on the walls of the cave. In many places, there were all kinds of carvings of birds, beasts, and fish. After a few claps, the Daoist Priest quickly found a clue in an inconspicuous corner. He shouted and we quickly surrounded them.

”Look here …” The Taoist pointed to a rock wall in front of him.

I gave it a cursory glance, but didn't see anything different. The color was the same as the surrounding color, and there weren't any gaps.

”What's different here?” San Mao was the same as me, he even raised a finger and knocked it.

”Look at the patterns.” The Daoist reminded.

When I looked carefully, I found that it was indeed as the Taoist had said. The walls of this cave were made of red soil sedimentary rock, and the entire surface was covered with twisted lines.

”Just like a brilliant tailor …” The Taoist squatted down and observed closer as he said, ”When dealing with the seams of the sleeves and shoulders, I always try my best to align the patterns on the fabric, but no matter how skilled I am, it is impossible for me to be in perfect harmony.”

The Daoist lowered his shoulder and growled in a low voice, then heavily crashed into the rock wall.

”Yo!” The Daoist cried out in pain, but the rock wall did not move at all.

San Mao and Mao Tou both laughed, and San Mao even teased, ”Aiya, master! What kind of trouble are you thinking about?”
