Just when everyone was laughing, a sudden thunderclap resonated through the night. The sound was neither particularly loud nor soft; Ren He immediately sat up. This noise didn't sound like thunder from a storm but like something had exploded.
It seemed far away, but the sound travelled far in the empty valley.
What sort of thing would explode in the middle of the night? There isn't even electricity here, so it couldn't be a transformer.
What could it be then?
Ren He suddenly woke up to the realization: This couldn't possibly be tomb robbers, could it? On their way here, they had seen some deep holes in the wilderness, and Liu Bing had been curious about what they were. Ren He couldn't answer her because he hadn't seen anything like it before either.
However, that explosion suddenly reminded him of a news piece from his past life: tomb robbers were increasingly rampant, directly using explosives to blast open holes.
