Chapter 218: To Each His Own Way
The shadow of death hung over the dark burial chamber, and there were five people who took turns digging through, and the sixth was Luke, who had only dug for a quarter of an hour.
Something like this happened in the team, and I had to tell him to stop digging for the time being, and now the most likely cause of death is something deadly in the passage above.
Since the puppets are not living creatures, they did not have any accidents when they were digging, but regardless of the facts, the excavation work had to be stopped.
The man in third place was covered with cold sweat on his forehead, and Luke was called down by me, and when he saw two corpses lying on the ground, and another man with a pale face and sweating profusely, he knew that something was wrong.
After Fei Hao explained to him in a few words, he immediately became nervous, and stretched out his head to smell his clothes, running and sweating for a long time, the smell on his body, even if carbon dioxide leakage, could be covered by his body odor.
We are deep underground, and it is possible that we have dug up poison gas, and this speculation was confirmed by Hu Sanmao after the third person fell.
But the third person who fell was not the one who dug the hole and ranked third, but the fourth, and the third person almost cried with excitement.
But then Hu Sanmao said a word, his words made everyone present look solemn, and his speculation was reasonable and irrefutable.
He said that if we dig out the underground gas layer, then the whole burial chamber may be filled with poison gas, but some people will attack quickly and some people will be slow.
The death of the third person proves his point of view, the criterion of death by poison is not the order in which the hole is dug, but is determined by the constitution of each person.
Since the three people who died were most likely to die by poison gas, then just fill in the hole that was dug through. Opening a new ventilated exit may save everyone's lives.
Sanjiu never said a word when everyone was discussing. He stared at the iron coffin as if he were going to make another hole in it.
Fei Hao and several people discussed countermeasures. I wanted to ask for his opinion, but I saw him staring intently at the coffin on the stone platform, looking like 'busy, don't disturb', I knew that he might have found an important clue, and the plan was no longer implemented, so they all gathered around him and waited to see if he could come up with a better way for everyone.
Hu Sanmao was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and he warned us if we delayed the time to escape. Everybody's going to die here.
As if to confirm his words, the man in third place fell to the ground as soon as he finished speaking, and death did not forget him, and finally quietly came and took his life.
Sanjiu's gaze suddenly flashed, and he said to me with a firm expression: "Release all the corpse puppets and dig through the passage above as soon as possible!" ”
Hu Sanmao stopped when he heard his words, but he didn't dare to get angry at Sanjiu, so he could only suppress his emotions. Although he said in a calm tone, "Now that there is poison gas dug up above, we should block it immediately and find another ventilated exit, I suggest that both sides be done at the same time." It can save time, everyone's time is running out! ”
Sanjiu has never been a person who likes to explain, especially outsiders. He just looked at me and said, "Can you hold it?" ”
I made an OK gesture and said dear in my heart. This is a life-and-death moment, and you have to stand up if you can't stand it!
In fact, I don't have the heart to speak anymore. Seize the time to gather the spirit, release all the corpses to climb to the top of the tomb, and begin to concentrate on digging the earth, which is bound to surpass the XX excavator school!
Hu Sanmao was about to make a sound, but Sanjiu threw him over with a cold eye and blocked his words back into his throat, Hu Sanmao didn't say anything to mean that the rest of the people could be quiet.
Life and death are important matters, and the guards and men in black who finally escaped from the experimental center are clamoring to get rid of us and do it alone, digging a new passage as soon as possible to discharge the poisonous gas in the tomb.
"If you want to die, just go, but whoever speaks out to affect her, I guarantee that he will die faster than others." It's been a long time since Sanjiu has spoken in a tone that is cold enough to freeze a group of polar bears to death, and his voice is not loud, but everyone in the tomb can hear it clearly.
After a short period of silence, Hu Sanmao led the guards and the man in black to find a new exit, and they borrowed the dark hole left by the lizardman as a breakthrough, which could not only save physical strength, but also the hole that the lizardman entered and exited must be ventilated, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Fei Hao, Lei Ming, and Luke chose to believe in Sanjiu, and of course there was another person, the strong man in black who had a mysterious trust in us.
At such moments, when he sided with us, even Luke took a liking to him, and exchanged his name with him softly, and I was slightly surprised when I heard his name, he had an old surname, and the name was very special.
Luke is a lover of Chinese culture, and of course, if he could watch fewer cartoons and TV series, and read more books, he would have improved faster than he does now!
After listening to the strong man's name, he peeked at Sanjiu, Sanjiu glanced at him lightly, seemingly unintentionally, but in fact it was warning him, Luke immediately put his hand to his lips, made a zipper movement, and then squeezed his eyes at the strong man, as if to say, brother, no way, let's talk later!
"Try to breathe as slowly as possible and talk less." Sanjiu saw that he had a good attitude and behaved well, so he gave a rare reminder.
Luke covered his mouth and nose when he heard this, and simply held his breath, and the strong man followed his example, Fei Hao glanced at them like idiots, but although he and Lei Ming did not hold their breath, they also did as Sanjiu said, trying to slow down the rate of breathing.
Half an hour later, Sanjiu held my body that fell forward, his eyes were full of worry and distress, it is estimated that my face was extremely bad at the moment, and sweat flowed down my cheeks into the collar under my neck.
But I had to hold on, and even if I couldn't squeeze out a smile, I didn't let go of my grip on the puppets and let them continue with their work.
Fei Hao and the others next to him who were resting on the ground to reduce their activity turned their eyes on me, Luke's eyes widened more and more, as if he had seen something particularly incredible, and the expressions of the other people were not as exaggerated as his, but they all expressed similar meanings.
In their astonished eyes, there was obvious anxiety and concern, which was the concern and kindness of friends other than Sanjiu, which made me feel a strange pleasure.
Love and friendship are feelings that have nothing to do with me in the past, and now I have also experienced the happiness and peace of mind in them.
Of course, it's better to live together, and I'm willing to do everything I can to do it, but God doesn't seem to think it's hard enough for me, and I've done my best, but there's still half of the corpse puppet project left! (To be continued.) )
