Chapter 1277: Soul Space Expands Again
After entering the room, Chu Chen immediately closed the door.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen plopped down in the chair, and with a thought, a pile of snow crystals appeared on the table in front of him.
I roughly estimated that there were tens of thousands of them inside the cave.
Keep in mind, this is only the middle of the month. So, in a month, the snow crystals produced by this cave would probably exceed 20,000.
He only absorbed a few dozen snow crystals and was able to unlock a soul space of about twenty cubic meters.
It is conceivable that as long as I have enough snow crystals, opening the passage to Roland's world will not be a problem at all.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen directly plunged his hands into the pile of snow crystals.
Two hours later, Chu Chen felt the increase in his physical strength, as well as the huge soul space and the various resources inside, and a smile appeared on his face.
Chu Chen took out a cigarette, lit it, and walked out of the room.
He had a feeling that the strength of his current body was probably comparable to that of a third or fourth-grade expert in the previous world.
Moreover, with this super protective suit, there are probably very few things in the world that can threaten him.
As soon as Chu Chen came out, the boy called Monkey came up in front of him.
Then he looked longingly at the cigarette in Chu Chen's mouth.
"What's going on? You were born and raised in a cave, and you even know what smoke is?"
Looking at the boy's gaze, Chu Chen asked incredulously, "..."
"I've seen people smoke it, but this stuff is very precious, so it must be something good."
"Also, I can occasionally sneak a peek at the general smoking."
"Hehe, where are your father and mother?"
"died!"
"died?"
Chu Chen was somewhat surprised.
“My mother was a piglet who collected snow crystals, and my father was a guard. My mother died of illness, and my father was killed by another gang on his way to a rendezvous point.”
"Then you should have a name too, right?"
Chu Chen asked again, puzzled.
"Heh, I was less than a year old when they died, I didn't make it!"
Chu Chen nodded after listening, thinking to himself, "A one-year-old child, orphaned and raised in such a scarce resource environment, could it be that I have misunderstood this cave?"
"You were raised by the general?"
"Brother is joking. How could the general raise us? My stepmother secretly raised me. If I hadn't heard that someone killed the general, I wouldn't have dared to stand up."
"Take me to see your stepmother!"
After listening, Chu Chen immediately felt that he didn't know enough about the cave, and it seemed that his stepmother definitely knew more.
Led by the monkey, the two walked for about half an hour inside the cave before arriving at a huge cavity filled with earthen walls.
The lighting here is noticeably worse than where the general was before.
The two entered a dimly lit room. The first thing Chu Chen saw was a woman who looked to be in her thirties sitting on the bed.
She was dressed very lightly, with her hair hanging down over her shoulders.
Upon seeing the two enter, he immediately said nervously, "You little rascal, why are you so disobedient? If he finds out, you're dead!"
After saying that, he looked at Chu Chen behind the monkey and asked, "Oh, who is this?"
"Mom, there's no general anymore. This older brother killed the general and gave me his weapon."
After saying that, the monkey brandished the automatic rifle in his hand.
Because the room was extremely dark, Chu Chen pretended to pull an emergency light from a cloth bag next to him, and an emergency light appeared in his hand.
"Hey, sister-in-law, it's too dark in here, let me take a picture for you."
"Ah...no!"
Just as Chu Chen turned on the lights, the woman immediately cried out.
But it was too late. At this critical moment, Chu Chen stepped forward and covered the monkey's eyes.
"Child, go outside. I have something to discuss with your mother privately."
The monkey, holding a gun, obediently went outside to stand guard.
Chu Chen stared at the woman in front of him with disbelief.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Under the intense light, Chu Chen was horrified to discover that although the woman appeared to be sitting on the bed, an iron chain was actually bound to her arm.
Previously, due to insufficient lighting, Chu Chen thought she was dressed too lightly.
But now it's discovered that she was only wearing a thin veil.
Apart from that, there were no other unexpected events.
The woman sat cross-legged, hiding her shyness: "Sir... you've seen everything you need to see. Don't turn off the light. I haven't seen such bright light in so long!"
Chu Chen nodded: "Was all of this caused by that so-called general?"
"Is he... really dead?"
"That's right, I shot him in the head, he's dead as dead as can be!"
"Hahaha, karma's served him right! He's finally... dead!"
As she spoke, tears began to stream down her face.
Chu Chen didn't step forward to comfort her or interrupt her. Instead, he quietly watched her. Perhaps, the suffering she had endured just needed a good cry.
After a long while, the woman stopped crying, and then her eyes seemed to regain their light.
He turned to Chu Chen and said, "Sir, did you come from the human gathering point?"
"no......."
"So you're part of a gang?"
"No... I was just someone they captured to collect snow crystals."
"Good, good, that's good, sir. Although my sister-in-law is not a virgin, as long as you rescue me, I will definitely serve you well."
"Don't worry, I've been locked up here for twenty years, forced to come up with all sorts of ways to amuse them every day. I'm quite skilled!"
Chu Chen coughed lightly after hearing this, thinking to himself, "What are you talking about? You're almost forty, aren't you?!"
"Sister-in-law, don't say such things. Monkey is a good kid. With him, your suffering will end. Tell me, what exactly is going on here!"
The woman nodded in surprise after hearing this, and then began to speak to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen grew increasingly furious as he listened, wishing he could be right there next to the so-called general's corpse and tear him to pieces.
It turns out that this cave appeared after the city was sealed off by heavy snow.
Previously, they were indeed a good refuge for humanity, and all sorts of people flocked to them.
At first, they were led by the authorities and shared the supplies equally, so their lives were relatively comfortable.
But as resources became increasingly scarce, people gradually developed all sorts of attitudes.
If someone is dissatisfied, they should resist.
Finally, a very powerful man emerged from the crowd and quickly unified the entire cave.
He assigned tasks to everyone to build the cave. Later, the appearance of snow crystals also made him see a business opportunity.
Therefore, he changed his approach and created a cave force where everyone served him.
