Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 489 - Chapter 489 Chapter 479 The Door That Cannot Be Opened

Chapter 489: Chapter 479: The Door That Cannot Be Opened Chapter 489: Chapter 479: The Door That Cannot Be Opened After taking the medicine, Old Peng indeed felt much more comfortable around his chest area.

“You lass have such a careful heart, remembering to bring emergency medicine when going out.”

“Are you feeling a bit better, sir?”

“Much better, much better, let’s go, we should continue.”

Thus, everyone continued to move forward in the direction from which the sound of water came.

After walking for about five to six minutes, the narrow passage they were in began to widen.

There was enough room to walk two or three people abreast.

At the end of the passage, they suddenly found a wide expanse, a hall-like area about ten meters wide, from which the sound of water seemed to be coming from above.

Looking upward, the central part of the ceiling seemed to lead to somewhere outside because light shone down through it.

The sound of water seemed to be nearby, but after looking around, they couldn’t find any place with dripping water.

“Strange, the sound of water clearly seemed to be coming from inside here outside, so how come we can’t find its source now that we are here?” Su Shu pondered.

Suddenly, the voice of a warrior rang out.

“Group captain, there’s a stone gate here!”

Upon hearing this, Tang Zelin and the others hurried over.

Indeed, on one wall inside, there was a set of closed Stone Gates.

Inside the cave, the presence of a Stone Gate meant that someone had lived here before. Who had lived here was not strange; what was strange was the inscription on the wall beside the Stone Gate.

“Do not open this gate, those who rashly intrude shall bear the consequences.”

Wang Meng read it and laughed, “It’s like something out of a martial arts novel, with a message carved specially, group captain, could it be that a hermit once lived in this cave?”

Tang Zelin carefully examined the line on the wall.

If one didn’t look closely, it indeed looked quite intimidating. A phrase like ‘bear the consequences’ always manages to instill fear.

But upon closer examination, he found that although the handwriting tried to mimic that of the previous line, there were still subtle traces that showed it was not done by the same person.

What did this mean?

The line warning outsiders was actually completed by two different people?

‘Do not open this gate,’ was written by one person.

‘Those who rashly intrude shall bear the consequences,’ another person wrote.

Looking at the carvings, there seemed to be some interval between the two.

Because he was staring for a long time, Old Peng, who was watching beside, also began to sense something peculiar.

“Xiaotang, does this phrase look like it’s carved by two different people?”

“Old Peng, you also have this feeling?” Zelin asked.

Old Peng said, “I thought this place wouldn’t be found by anyone, I didn’t expect that there not only had been one person here but more.”

Zelin nodded and said, “If we also consider the deputy dean and that old man with the surname Li, perhaps the secrets of this cave are not so hidden after all, and more people might know about it than we think.”

Old Peng sighed and looked at the Stone Gate, “Look at this gate, should we go in or not?”

Zelin thought for a moment, “Old Peng, look at the ground.”

The crowd looked down, and beneath the gate, there was a line made of blood droplets.

It seemed that someone had already disregarded the warning on the wall and gone inside before them.

To search for the whereabouts of the ten missing children and to fulfill the responsibility entrusted to him by his good buddy Yao Ke to take care of the child,

Zelin decided to go in personally.

The others, for safety’s sake, would wait outside the gate temporarily.

Su Shu quickly grabbed his wrist with a firm gaze, her tone leaving no room for refusal, “I want to go in with you!”
