Chapter 70: A City Buried Under the Desert

() Darkness, endless spreading.

The world that can't see the five fingers seems to be opening its mouth, waiting to devour a qiฤ“ life.

Ouyang Yue'er had never felt so frightened, in such a dark world, the cold wind was blowing, as if someone was standing beside her, blowing towards her neck, but there was no figure in sight. Ouyang Yue'er believed that if 11 wasn't around, if she was just alone in this kind of place, she would definitely be scared crazy. Fortunately, this qiฤ“ is only if, 11 did not leave her, and held her from beginning to end. Feeling the warmth of 11's arms and listening to the breathing sound from 11's nostrils, she was inexplicably moved.

11 Holding Ouyang Yue'er, in the dark underground world, slowly groping forward. The deeper you go, the less water there is, and the more and more sand you get, and when you go to the back, 11 feet are already sandy. The bucket was still hooked by 11's fingers, and it was filled with a bucket of fresh water from the underground river. 11 Knowing that even if he found a way out, he would have to walk a lot in the desert, so he did not throw away the bucket, but carried with him a whole bucket of fresh water in case of emergency.

As he walked forward, he seemed to have tripped over something, and 11 stumbled and quickly stood firm. But a lot of the water in the bucket was shaken out.

"11, what's wrong?" In the dark, Ouyang Yue'er couldn't see anything, so she could only ask out loud.

11 put Ouyang Yue'er on the ground, but Ouyang Yue'er didn't dare to let go of 11 no matter what. Helplessly, 11 only squatted down to let her pull with one hand, and after groping on the ground with the other hand for a long time, he stood up and said, "It's a skeleton." โ€

"What?" Ouyang Yue'er was startled, and subconsciously hid in 11's arms. In the past two days, she has been very accustomed to 11's embrace, and 11 seems to make her feel safer and warmer than Ouyang Lin.

11He groaned, "How did this man come in?"

Ouyang Yue'er urged: "Don't worry about it, let's go quickly." โ€

11 shook his head and said, "If this person can be here, it means that there must be a way out." โ€

Ouyang Yue'er tugged 11's hand and said, "Then let's go find the way, leave it alone." โ€

"Wait a minute. 11 Ignoring Ouyang Yue'er's objections, he squatted down again and groped around the corpse. Although Ouyang Yue'er was afraid, she didn't dare to say anything more. She knows 11's temper very well, provokes him, and can do anything. What Ouyang Yue'er is most afraid of now is that 11 will be angry, and she will leave her alone, in that case, she will definitely go crazy.

Ouyang Yue'er didn't dare to urge again, and she couldn't see what 11 was doing, so she could only hold 11's hand and feel that he should be touching something. If she could see it at this moment, she would be startled,11 was groping around on the skeleton that was not completely decomposed.

It took a long time for 11 to get back to his feet, and he found a dagger, an earthen pistol, a flashlight, and a bundle of rope on the corpse. The flashlight and rope were rotten and could no longer be used at all, and the homemade pistol was completely rusty and was thrown away by 11. Luckily, there was still that dagger to use. I couldn't see what the dagger looked like in the dark, but it felt that it should be sharp, and the steel was very good, it hadn't rusted after so long, and it was still as smooth as a mirror.

Aside from these things, there is nothing to guess the identity of the corpse, but judging by the construction of the homemade pistol,11 it is speculated that this person should be from World War II. Because this gun belongs to the World War II barge pistol, and it is also the earliest barge.

Why did this man die here?11 I can't guess that he was trapped in quicksand, washed into this underground world, and starved to death?

11 failed to find valuable clues, so he had to take Ouyang Yue'er to continue to look for a way out. He believed that his head should be the desert at the moment, but he didn't know how high the top was and how thick the sand was.

The further you go, the thicker the sand becomes.

Suddenly, 11 crashed into a hard object, and the dull sound of the collision was clear in the claustrophobic space.

Ouyang Yue'er heard a muffled sound of "bang!" in her ears, and then 11 staggered back a few steps and hurriedly asked, "11, what's the matter?"

11 rubbed his forehead and said, "It's okay." He reached out and groped for something in front of him and said, "It looks like a wall." โ€

"Walls?"

"Well, it's made of stone. โ€

"How can there be a wall here?"

"It's normal. 11 As he groped his way through the wall, he said, "If there is quicksand, it means that there is no space below, and under the quicksand is usually a city." โ€

Ouyang Yue'er lost her voice and said, "You mean, we found the ruins?" Ouyang Yue'er was a little excited, almost forgetting that she was still afraid before and went straight into 11's arms. Ruins, those are the ruins of an ancient civilization that only exist in legends. Ouyang Yue'er was not short of money, and she didn't think about digging up ruins to make some money. It's just that anyone would be thrilled to know that they were standing on the ruins of an ancient civilization.

11 wasn't as excited as Ouyang Yue'er, he wasn't interested in the ruins, the only thing he was anxious about was wanting to find the exit quickly. Life is the most important thing, what is the use of finding a relic but not saving it.

Neither of them could see anything, so they could only grope their way forward. In the dark, Ouyang Yue'er held 11's hand tightly, her palms were slightly sweaty, I don't know if she was excited because she found the ruins, or because she was afraid because it was too dark here.

The city, buried in the desert, is unknown how big it is or what kind of structure the houses are here. 11 I only knew that many houses had collapsed along the way, and there were sand and gravel everywhere.

11 led the way in front with his intuition, and Ouyang Yue'er became scared again after losing the excitement of the beginning, and re-burrowed into 11's arms, letting him protect himself tightly with his arms.

Suddenly, 11 stopped in his tracks.

Ouyang Yue'er couldn't see 11's expression in the dark, and asked out loud, "11, what's wrong?"

"Like...... There is a sound. โ€

"What?" Ouyang Yue'er looked around in fright, but she couldn't see anything, so she could only hold 11 as much as she could, and whispered, "Don't scare me." โ€

11And after listening for a moment, he said, "It is the sound of the sand flowing." โ€

Ouyang Yue'er let out a long breath and said, "I was scared to death by you." โ€

11 stopped for a moment, and then took Ouyang Yue'er to turn a corner and grope in the other direction.

I don't know what kind of building it is, the two of them only know that there are stone steps here, and they are very high. The two held hands and walked carefully up the stone steps step by step.

The stone steps slowly turned into sand, and the sand grew thicker and thicker, as if it were conical and bulging upwards. Eventually, the road ahead was completely blocked by sand, and there was no access to it.

"11, what should I do?" Ouyang Yue'er touched the sand in front of her and asked in a low voice.

11 thought for a moment and said, "Dig." โ€

"Digging?"

"Yes. Did you notice that the sand is very high?"

Ouyang Yue'er shook her head, and then thought that 11 couldn't see, and said, "I don't know." โ€

11He grabbed a handful of grains of sand, and the grains of sand slipped out through his fingers. 11 said: "The sand is still warm, and it seems that this place should be very close to the desert ground." โ€

Ouyang Yue'er's eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked, "You mean, we can go out?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on the thickness of the sand layer. After a pause, he said: "Let's try it, the top floor of a building buried in the underground city will not be too far from the ground, I hope the thickness here is not too thick." As he spoke, he let go of Ouyang Yue'er's hand and dug towards the sand layer above the slope.
