I threw down Tian Qiuqiu and continued to find a way back.

My focus now is mainly on those side forks.

After a violent tremor, many side branches also collapsed.

Seriously, even the entire fork in the road has been buried, and it can only be vaguely identified as a hole.

Even if it was better, there was no large-scale collapse, but it was still full of rubble, and these rubble were all shaken down from the top.

This trip down, I didn't let go of every slightly recessed stone wall, and walked in to carefully investigate.

As a result, the more I looked down, the more chills I felt in my heart!

A main road was found to be almost five or six hundred meters long, and there were thirteen or fourteen of the various forks, but without exception, all of them were closed and dead, and none of them could get through.

I reluctantly returned to the main road, staring blankly at the rubble that filled the entire corridor.

My heart couldn't help but become anxious.

I can't find an exit, but what can I do?

I don't want to be stuck here, there is no fire or food, and it won't take many days for me to starve to death.

I didn't give up, and when I walked back, I re-examined the fork in the road I had just walked.

This time, I was more careful, and even dug into some of the layers of loose mud, hoping to dig an opening.

All in vain, of course.

Go back to the same place again and meet Tian Qiuqiu.

Tian Qiuqiu saw that I had been looking for so long this time, and he was a little anxious to wait, and when he saw me, he asked urgently: "What's the situation, is there a way out?"

I shook my head dejectedly: "No, I've searched all over it, but I can't find it." ”

When Tian Qiuqiu heard this answer, his mood also became low: "Then what should we do? Are we going to be trapped here?"

I said, "I don't know yet, but don't worry, I'll figure it out." ”

Tian Qiuqiu handed me a bottle of water and said, "You can drink some water first." ”

I was thirsty, so I took it and drank it all.

I don't need to save water, because there is no shortage, just now I saw that there are pools in several forks, and the water seeping out of these stone crevices is naturally filtered and purified, and it can be drunk directly.

I threw down the water bottle and said, "It seems that you can only get out of here if you have your own way, and you can clear a way out first." ”

Tian Qiuqiu didn't understand much of this, but he was mainly me, and nodded in agreement: "Then let's clear it, let's clear it together." ”

I said, "Then let me think about where to go." ”

I lifted the flashlight, took a picture of the front and back, and said thoughtfully: "We just ran over from behind, there are too many collapses along the way, we have also seen it, at least half a kilometer is blocked, and that direction must not be cleared." ”

"The fork and stone cave next to it are only eroded by water, and the entire mountain structure is inside, and it is not realistic to dig a strip out of it. ”

"It seems that we can only move forward. According to my previous speculation, the front of this main road must be connected to an underground river that leaves this mountain range, we go forward to clean up, if we are lucky, that is, the tunnel is not buried too much, it is estimated that we can pass through it in a day or two, so we can find the underground river directly, and follow the underground river, we should be able to leave. ”

Tian Qiuqiu's face was gloomy, and he said, "If you are unlucky, you can't get through in a day or two, it's difficult, isn't it?"

I said, "No whatever, we can't think about what if, we have to do it." This is the only chance to get out of here, or else you will be stuck here waiting for death. ”

I picked up my backpack, pointed forward, and said, "There's a small stone room in front, it's quite dry, let's go over and take a break, eat something and then get to work." ”

Tian Qiuqiu responded, holding my Aka and following me, his legs were still pouting when he walked, and it seemed that his buttocks were still hurting.

There were a lot of rocks in the stone room, so I beckoned Tian Qiuqiu, picked up the yard and put it aside, cleared out an open space, and then took out the meat to eat.

A few water bottles were empty, and I went to the pond opposite to fill them with water.

After slowing down my strength, I got up and said to Tian Qiuqiu: "You don't have to go with me, just sleep here for a while, it's more than five o'clock at night, tossing this way, it is estimated that your physical consumption is about the same, and people have no energy." I don't expect the passage to be so fast, maybe a day or two, two or three days, we have to take turns to rest, and now the aftershocks haven't completely passed, and we can't both fall asleep together, otherwise something happens in the middle of the night, and no one will warn us. ”

Tian Qiuqiu originally wanted to accompany me to move stones, but seeing that I said this, it was very reasonable, so I didn't insist.

The top of this stone chamber is not high, and I can barely reach the top on tiptoe. I asked Tian Qiuqiu to go out first, and I used the barrel of Aka's gun to poke off the loose stones at the top one by one.

These small stones embedded in the cracks of the stones are extremely deadly, and a slight shock may shake these stones down and hurt people.

I used a small flat stone slab to cushion the ground and make a stone bed, and then let Tian Qiuqiu lie down and sleep.

I emptied all the items in the backpack, and then asked Tian Qiuqiu to cover the backpack on his head, firstly, to avoid falling rocks, and secondly, to avoid dusty eyes.

"Relax and sleep well. ”

I confessed and left with a flashlight.

The place where the road collapsed is not far from this stone chamber, about ten meters away.

This layer in front is scattered gravel, which cannot be dug directly from the bottom, because the gravel is not stable, and the bottom will collapse, so it can only be honestly cleaned from the top down.

However, I have experience and have my own set of labor-saving methods, so I don't have to do such a large amount of work.

I can't dig a hole at the bottom, I can dig at the top.

Directly at the top of the collapsed layer, remove the layer of rubble, clear a hole in the ground for people to crawl, and I can get through.

I'm also half-crippled now, and I can only move with one hand, so I have no choice but to embed a flashlight in a crack in a stone to illuminate it, and then use one hand to pick at the rocks.

The stones cut out are rolled back directly, because it is a slope, and I can walk away as soon as I roll, which saves me a lot of handling work.

After more than an hour of busy work, a hole more than two meters deep was dug out.

It's just that the further you go in, the slower the progress.

The open stones can be rolled off directly, while the inside has to be slowly moved out, which takes me twice as much. And the further down it goes, the more work it takes. At that time, I will probably have to spend ninety percent of my time on transportation.

I dug it out for a while, and suddenly I saw Tian Qiuqiu also climbing up with a flashlight.

I looked at her strangely, "What are you doing here, aren't you going to sleep?"
