DAY 105 The dangers of the first wave

So the only light left was the flashlight in my brother's hand. The insects immediately drilled in the direction of his brother, and there were so many of them that they almost drowned out the light of the flashlight.

I hurriedly screamed in my antibacterial suit, "Throw away the flashlight!! "If the bugs bite my brother's antibacterial suit, it's really over...... After all, the number of insects is here, and no matter how many insects have no attack power, it is possible that one bite and one bite of me will cause great damage to this antibacterial clothing that is not very strong.

But my brother didn't, as if considering that if the flashlight in his hand broke down again, our only available light would be gone, and he still tried to protect this last barrier that gave us a little peace of mind - in the intermittent light I could vaguely see him trying to turn off the flashlight switch as he struggled with one hand to repel the insects that were rapidly pouring in from all directions.

But because there are so many insects, many insects have stuck on the switch of the flashlight, so that the switch is stuck all of a sudden, and it can't move.

Seeing this, I was anxious, and hurriedly walked in his direction, frantically trying to drive away the growing number of insects, and at the same time reaching for the flashlight in his hand.

My brother realized what I was doing and quickly withdrew his hand to prevent me from snatching the flashlight away. Then, as if he had an idea, he suddenly pressed the flashlight at the side of the light and pressed it against his stomach. The leakage at the edges is roughly wrapped in the palm of the hand.

All of a sudden, there was complete darkness. We waited in the dark for a few minutes, and it seemed as if the insect colony was really starting to disperse.

Fortunately, there are tightly wrapped and completely sealed antibacterial suits, otherwise there is such a large wave of insects just now, even if they don't bite us, as long as a few of them inevitably enter our nasal cavity, oral cavity and ear canal or something, it is estimated that the result should be enough to choke - the current hospitals are all out of operation, and if there is really any problem, you can only rely on yourself - although the oxygen cylinder worn on the back of the antibacterial suit is really heavy, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

But what now? Although the flashlight is saved, it can't be used up, and once it is used, the bugs should rush over again, which not only blocks the light but also is dangerous. But if you don't have to just explore this tomb, it's basically an impossible quest series, so what can be done to solve this big problem from the beginning?

It would be nice if there were torches...... But even if there were really torches, the number of insects was probably extinguished by waves of insects that came up directly with their bodies before they lit up.

"Sister, it's okay to use a flashlight when we first came down. It shows that it still takes a certain amount of time for these things to be sensitive. We can go one step at a time, one time at a time, and then stop a while, and so on. My brother poked me and suggested. At this point, there aren't many insects around.

I thought about it, but I could only nod helplessly. Although it is very troublesome, there is really only one more feasible way to do it now......

"Then I'll turn on the lights." As soon as the words fell, the younger brother turned on the flashlight on his chest.

Sure enough, it was still quiet, and nothing came.

"Hurry, hurry!" The younger brother looked around hastily and saw that we were now in a room with nothing, and the walls were made of large, irregularly shaped stones. What looks ordinary can't be more ordinary.

Strangely enough, there are doorways on all sides of the wall that lead to other directions, and there seem to be long corridors on the outside, which are so long that it is impossible to tell what is at the end of those corridors with a rough glance of a flashlight.

When we saw this, my brother quickly put away the flashlight in the same way as before, and then asked me in a low voice, "How?" Sister, do you see clearly? Which way do you think we should go? ”

Although he shouldn't be able to see, I nodded reflexively, and then shook my head again: "I can see it clearly, but it looks the same on all sides, and I don't know which way we should go to be more reliable......" I saw a lot of ancient tombs on the Internet before, and in order to prevent the existence of tomb robbers, there are many deadly traps, such as flying swords after stepping on them, or a little poisonous stuff in the air. I guess this tomb is like this, so I really don't dare to make a conclusion.

"I think so...... I think we need to get closer and look at some of the details. But there are four aisles, which is too time-consuming, and it is estimated that the uncle will be back before the observation......" The younger brother's voice sounded a little irritated and troubled.

"We don't need to look at the details, in fact, we just need to try a method to know which path we want to choose." I said in a direction in the darkness, "Anyway, we just need to collect something that can be used as bargaining chips in exchange for Qiwang's medicine and priority treatment." Then the place we are going to is not the main burial chamber, but the place where the XIZ bacteria exist. ”

"What do you mean?" My brother's voice came directly in front of me, sounding a little confused.

"For example, where are the most likely places for bacteria to grow?" I tilted my head and asked him in the direction the voice was coming from.

"Wet place?" The younger brother's voice sounded like he was thinking.

"Well, yes, damp place." I nodded, realizing again that he couldn't see, and hurriedly replied, "In other words, what we're looking for now is the one with the wettest of the four aisles." Then the method of detection is very simple. I remember we had hygrometers on our electronic watches. ”

"yes, that makes sense, why didn't I think of that?" The younger brother's voice sounded abruptly real.

** couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and then urged with a fake cough, "Then let's start quickly, we really don't have much time." ”

Then I turned on the light button on the watch and brought up the display page of the hygrometer. My brother also removed the flashlight from his stomach again and pointed me the way to the floor.

I ran to each door as fast as I could, then motioned for my brother to cover his flashlight, and waited a few minutes before turning on the light button on my watch to observe the changes in the numbers on the hygrometer. And so on and so forth.

When I finished investigating the last doorway, I said to my brother with great certainty, "It's the first walkway." The humidity is at its highest there. After a pause, he added, "But there might be some traps waiting for us there, so we'd better be careful, you know?" ”

The younger brother said "um", and the light of the flashlight was revealed again, and we followed the light together towards the doorway of the first investigation.
