Chapter 54: Distress
Chu Yu's brows furrowed tightly, and he looked around, except that the scenery here was more magnificent than the outside, and there were stalagmite statues neatly placed around him, this place was no different from other caves. But where will the exit be? Is there anything else I didn't think of? Wait! The stalagmite statue! Could it be hidden in it?
Thinking of this, he walked a few quick steps to the stalagmites that were scattered in order, and reached out to grope carefully on top of one of them.
Han Yifeng, who had already guessed his identity next to him, saw his movements, and his eyes rolled to know his intentions. He immediately shouted to everyone: "Quick, let's see if those stalagmite statues are abnormal, maybe the mechanism that went out is hidden on their bodies!" Chu Yu, who didn't care about what he was doing, didn't even pause for a moment, and continued to rummage carefully.
Xing Lu understood Han Yifeng's intention in doing this after a little thought, he clearly wanted to grab credit with Chu Yu! If the organ could be found in this way, everyone would only remember the young master Han who shouted this sentence loudly, and at such a tense moment, no one would notice that the first person to do this was actually Chu Yu.
Smiling slightly mockingly, she said to the original Xing Lu in her heart, "Look, this is the person you tried to seduce in every possible way, and he is really blind." ”
Hu Lingling, who also saw Han Yifeng's intentions, just watched Han Yifeng do this quietly from the side, with no expression on his face, no one knew what she was thinking.
So many people all stepped forward to do it, and it didn't take long for the eighty-one stalagmite statues to be checked, but everyone didn't find anything abnormal. Frustrated, people look at the rising water level around them, and they can't help but feel a little hopeless.
"Are we going to give our lives here today?" said one of them, trembling in his voice, his eyes empty and blank.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that in the end, I didn't die fighting mutant creatures, but was drowned here, it's ridiculous!"
"I don't want to die yet, there are so many good days waiting for me in front of me~~~"
"Woo~ My family has been passed down for five generations, and I haven't found a wife yet, do you want to cut off the incense in my generation?"
"I'm worse than you, I have a seventy-year-old mother in my family, and a daughter who is just four years old and doesn't understand anything, if I die, who else can take care of them, isn't it forcing them to die, it's better to let them die before me!"
"Hehe, what are you afraid of one by one, eighteen years later, we will be a good man again! crying and crying greasy and crooked, like a girl, it's not ashamed?!"
"That's good! I, Ma Zhi'an, am here to ask everyone, no matter which of you can get out alive today, please find Ma Zhiyu of the Longteng Mercenary Regiment when you arrive at the Ling Tian Base, and tell him that his younger brother is not a soft egg, and he didn't embarrass him in the end! I, Ma Zhi'an, am here today to thank you first!" After speaking, he clenched his fists violently around him, with a generous determination to die on his face.
His words made everyone emotional, and they all reported to their homes to ask their companions to give a message to their families when they were killed, and also agreed to the dying request of their companions next to them, and the cave seemed lively for a while.
"Hmph, we haven't done anything yet, a group of cowards have explained what happened after their death here, but it's really good!" The cold and arrogant voice sounded, and the people who were boiling with blood were stunned as if a basin of cold water had been poured on their heads and the immobilization method had been cast.
Some people with heavy minds can't help but get angry, isn't this woman even used to being told what happened after her death?
"Hey, even if you are the young lady of the Hu family, you can't control us, we want to explain the future and it has nothing to do with you! Why are you sneering at us?"
Hu Lingling, who had a calm face, walked out and said to the big man with a red face because of anger: "Is there anything wrong with what I said, obviously it has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, why do you have to be busy arranging the funeral for yourself, and not thinking that you can personally see your parents, relatives and friends to report their safety! Defeat without a fight, so you are also worthy of being called a manly man?"
Her words were like a thunderbolt, waking everyone present, and the fear of waiting for death in everyone's hearts just now, as well as the frustration of not being able to find a way out, suddenly disappeared. Yes, where are you now, it's not the first time that people here have experienced a life-and-death crisis, which time is not more thrilling than now, I haven't been afraid before, now I'm just trapped here for a while, and it's not that there is no possibility of going out, I'm afraid of a hair at this time!
Seeing that everyone's expressions changed unpredictably in an instant, Hu Lingling knew that what he had just said had achieved the desired effect. If everyone can get out of danger and get out safely this time, she is confident that she can envelop most of the people under the command of the Hu family. Even if they can't be used by the Hu family, presumably they won't be enemies of the Hu family, let alone casually mention the incident a few days ago.
He Lei looked at his girlfriend on the side, and suddenly he found that in addition to her noble and capricious appearance, she also had such a calm and wise side, and couldn't help but praise her for her performance in his heart.
Qiu Lin next to him clenched the palm hidden in his sleeve tightly, and felt remorse in his heart, damn it, why didn't he expect this layer just now to let this Hu Lingling pick up such a big bargain for nothing. I'm afraid that in the future, there will be more loyal fans of the Hu family among these people in front of me.
Han Yifeng's eyes also flashed with a hint of deep meaning, and he must have thought of this as well. But soon, he reacted and stepped forward to encourage the crowd who were gradually calming down: "What Miss Hu said is very right, until the last moment of life, no one can give up hope, we still have to find a way out as soon as possible." Now let's look carefully along the cave wall again, do you think about it?"
Hu Lingling glanced at the impassioned Han Yifeng next to him, didn't say anything, turned around and walked back to his team silently.
Time passed as everyone groped around the cave walls, and the water level rose to everyone's waist. Xiao Hua is the youngest and shortest, and his chest has been submerged.
Xing Lu took out the inedible mutated aquatic plants that he had collected before, and braided them into a long and strong rope, wrapping several people around their waists and then tying them tightly, preventing some people from slipping if they were unstable on their feet. The people next to him saw it, and they did the same, and they all used ropes to connect the people of their own team.
She pulled out a few more life jackets and put them on everyone just in case. Even Qiu Lin got the life jacket sent by Xing Lu and held it in his hand, Qiu Lin couldn't help but feel guilty for wanting to abandon Xing Lu just now.
Until everyone was all floating on the water, their feet could no longer step on the ground, and they had not yet found an exit. Seeing the top of the cave that could be reached by raising your hand, despair gradually rose in everyone's hearts.
"God, can't we really get over this hurdle today?"
"No, I'm not convinced! Obviously, we have just obtained the advanced cultivation method, and we will have even more powerful strength and a brighter future in the future, how can we die here so aggrieved!"
"If we had known this, it would have been better for us not to go so fast and stay in the original cave!"
"Oh, we're all like this, how do you think those people out there are going to be any better? Maybe they're worse off than us now. ”
I have to tell the truth about that person, since these people came in here, the fourteen people who stayed outside shouted and cursed for a while, thinking about entering through the stone door that had just opened, and studied there for a long time. Until the two mutant pythons that had used it as a nest came back and surrounded them with the smell of blood, the stone door was still tightly closed and never opened.
Those who were left behind were originally people with slightly inferior strength in the team, and there were even four ordinary people among them, who encountered a huge mutant python, and they could only flee in panic. But the two big guys have a clear division of labor and tacit understanding, one uses a huge body to coil the hole to prevent these prey from escaping, and the other is responsible for hunting and killing prey, and after a while, more than a dozen people have become the mouths of these two mutant pythons. Unlike these people inside, they were so frightened that they forgot to struggle, and easily let the mutant python get their wish.
