Suddenly there was a rustling sound. It was the sound of the vines on the

surrounding stone walls rubbing against each other. The noise was getting

louder. An invisible shadow on the ground was moving rapidly toward Su

Shanshan’s feet. Its sound was drowned out by the sound of the vines on the

stone walls.

Su Shanshan stood rooted to the ground as though she did not feel anything.

Just as the shadow on the ground touched her, she suddenly jumped and hit

the shadow accurately with the Tang sword in her hand. Although she could

not see, she could feel that she had cut something off. This was the alertness

that she had developed over the years of the apocalypse. If she did not have

this ability, she would not have lived for eight years without any superpowerin

her previous life.

The shadow disappeared quickly again. The damage seemed to have affected it

slightly. After a long time, it did not appear again. However, Su Shanshan was

still on guard. The rustling sound was still ringing in her ears, and it was

getting louder.

A vine suddenly reached out from her left side and bound her left arm,

attempting to drag her away. Su Shanshan slashed the vine with her Tang

sword. A piece of the vine was cut off and a little light came in.

With the light, Su Shanshan could finally see the surroundings clearly. She had

guessed correctly just now. She was standing on a pile of white bones. These

bones looked like they were from a few years ago. How did this cave get

formed?

Before she could think of any reasonable answer, she heard the sound of a

stream. She followed the sound. She moved quickly, mainly because the feeling

of stepping on human bones was really gross.

As she walked along a path illuminated by the light, the surrounding space

became more open. The sound of flowing water could be heard. She came to a

pool of water. It was not big, but strangely, there was a whirlpool on the

surface of the water. The fast-flowing, rotating water was producing sounds.

Su Shanshan walked toward the water bank. She had just taken two steps when

she tripped over something. Looking down, she saw a squarish box. It was a

black iron box about the size of two palms. One corner was shattered, and she

could see that the box was empty.

She bent down and gingerly touched the black box. There was a handwritten

note at the bottom of the black box, which struck her as odd. She opened it and

realized that it was a scientist’s personal notes. He had obtained this black box

three years ago. It seemed that the box had fallen from the sky. He had been

studying it for three years but had yet to figure out what it was.

Then at the dawn of the apocalypse, he accidentally broke this black box. The

world began to change, and the moon turmed red…

The notes stopped here. The rest were the experiment records done by this

scientist on this black box. On the last page of the records was a pool of dried

blood. It was not difficult to imagine what happened to this scientist and

connect him to those white bones. Was this place a laboratory once? she

wondered.

This thought made Su Shanshan shudder. Only now did she understand why

the apocalypse happened. She wished she could track this scientist down and

reprimand him. If she had known about this in her previous life, she would

have rushed over to stop this scientist when she was reborn. However, she had

no such knowledge back then, so she sighed and put dowm the note in her

hand.

Observing the black box again, she was no longer in the same mood as before.

It seemed that the radiation that caused the apocalypse came from this place.

She thought carefully again. It might be because of this that a large number of

high-level zombies appeared in City M at the beginning of the apocalypse.

After all, in her previous life, level-five zombies only appeared in City M two

years after the apocalypse. Fortunately, all the zombies in City M had been

buried underground. Otherwise, if those zombies were to roam freely, those

humans who were just beginning to experience and adapt to the apocalypse

would suffer.

Su Shanshan instinctively moved away from the black box. Her hands suddenly

felt warm. She looked over and saw that the extraterrestrial meteorite in her

hand had turned blue, and the distant whirlpool had also turned blue.

For some reason, by the time she came back to her senses, she had already

placed the extraterrestrial meteorite into the pool of water. She was shocked.

When she attempted to take it back, the rock had already fallen into the center

of the whirlpool. The whirlpool seemed to have been enhanced by some force

as it spun rapidly. At this time, Su Shanshan could no longer see what was

going on in the clear water..
