Chapter 19: Give Up or Continue
I saw that none of them spoke, and there was no response to anyone when asked, so I gave up and sat next to Bailiyou, since everyone was awake, whether to continue to break inside, or just turn back, someone had to say something.
"How about we cooperate?" It was Uncle Yuan who spoke, listening to what he meant, he just wanted to continue, I saw that Gu Fei had no objection, Abang just glanced at him, and Bai Liyou still just hugged Ayou, motionless.
After being silent for a while, Abang spoke first and said to me: "The fourth brother is no longer here, what happens next, I will listen to you." Bai Liyou also looked at me at this time, as if he meant the same thing. In this way, all four of them stared at me, as if I had the power of life and death.
Actually, I mean, everybody's hurt, and if you go inside, there's going to be some nonsense, and who knows if there's any life to get out? Besides, Bai Liyou and Ah You, the most reliable here, were both seriously injured, and unless the road ahead was too peaceful, they would really be sent to death.
"Let's get out."
As soon as I said it, I felt that Bai Liyou was relieved, and he didn't seem to want me to cooperate with Uncle Yuan and continue to go inside. With my words, Abang stood up, picked up his backpack and prepared to leave. I saw that Uncle Yuan was a little angry, and seemed to be unwilling, so I laughed, and I don't know if others sneered: "Uncle Yuan, this is left in the green mountains, I am not afraid of no firewood, whether it is important to save my life, or what you are looking for is important, you must know better than me." ”
He snorted and didn't speak again, although I was also confused, like an innocent outsider who was caught up in right and wrong, but the way things are going, it really seems to have something to do with me.
It is impossible to return the same way, Bai Liyou said that the four kings who guarded the gate were not dead, but they were only injured and temporarily withdrawn, and it is estimated that this will be near the jade gate, waiting for us to go back and die. No wonder I'm going to help carry people, Bailiyou won't let me.
I looked at Bailiyou, obviously, if it was to go out, there was another way. He asked me to help him hold Ayo, pick up the backpack himself, and hold the sword in his backhand to clear the way for us in front. As I passed by the group of dried corpses at the bottom of the steps, I felt them move again, and I don't know if it was a hallucination.
If it is said to be an exit, it may not necessarily be smooth all the way.
The steps under the high platform suddenly pushed open to both sides, revealing a three-person wide dark passage. It was the first time for Uncle Yuan to see Bai Liyou's familiarity with this place, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
This section of the road is unexpectedly smooth, nothing appears, and looking around, there is no decoration, just simple earthen walls and stone walls, accustomed to those luxurious and dazzling decorations, suddenly become so simple, but not very accustomed. But it didn't take long to walk, and it came to an end. We were still wondering, so Bai Liyou waved his hand at us and cheered us up: "Be careful, there are people who are evil." ”
I originally thought that Ayou was here, as long as it wasn't the king of the people, there was nothing to be afraid of, but when I remembered that Ayou was seriously injured and slept in my arms, I was afraid that it wouldn't be of much help, so this time I really had to rely on myself.
Ah Bang didn't know where to pick up a stick, tied a piece of clothing and went up, tied it tightly and poured the last bottle of disinfectant alcohol on it, the man was afraid of fire, and having a torch in his hand was more useful than a few guns. Uncle Yuan was still terrified of things like Lu Ren, and when he saw Ah Bang's movements, he immediately took out his gun and loaded it.
Bai Liyou opened another way, and we followed. The road began to get narrower, and in the end, we could only crawl forward, and I followed closely with Bailiyou, and Abang finished at the end.
The stone cave opens, it is an uphill road, there are steps, you can only climb it, fortunately it is not too slippery, if you are careful, you will not fall. They climbed very slowly, after all, they were all wounded, and they had to keep an eye out for any of them.
"What are those squirts?" Uncle Yuan asked behind me, he was asking Bai Liyou, Bai Liyou paused for a moment before saying, "It's all innocent people." ”
I laughed in my heart, saying that he seemed to be some kind of living bodhisattva, saying that such a fierce monster was an innocent person. Later, when I thought about it, what he meant by this was that those people were all living people, and when I thought about it, I suddenly felt furious in my heart, what is it that makes people become that kind of monsters.
"This is the price of immortality."
After saying this, Bai Liyou didn't speak again, and the group of people who followed us also remained silent, not saying a word, only the sound of panting.
The price of immortality.
Once people have inexhaustible wealth and supreme rights, they will want to live forever, which is known by Qin Shi Huang, but immortality is originally a move against the sky, and it is impossible to achieve it from the perspective of current technology. If the price of immortality is to become a ghost like a man, living in that kind of place where you can't see the sun all day long, then it's better for me to live two years less, that kind of eternal life, don't want it. Listening to Bai Liyou's tone, those are innocent people, I guess those people are used to test medicines, either slaves or ordinary people. Once again, I shudder at the cruelty of the ancients.
When we climbed to the top, we pushed away a block of rock and climbed out.
It's another world.
The damp ground, the steam, the uneven ground, if it weren't for the frighteningly low temperature, I would have thought it was a cave with hot springs.
Is there any water dripping from the top of my head, it is cold and cold, I can't help but shiver a few times, and a clever clenched the dagger on his waist. Because of the moisture, the light was not sufficient, and the visual range was even smaller, so we had to work hard to prevent a sudden attack by the people.
We move slowly, and with almost every step we take, we have to look around for the environment.
"Click...... Click......"
Every time water dripped down, I thought it was saliva. However, after this period of adventure, my courage has also grown, and I am not as afraid of these strange things as I was at the beginning, which can be regarded as a good change.
In a group of us, only Uncle Yuan still has a gun, and in some cases, the others can only rely on hand-to-hand combat. Fortunately, I have a dagger, Bailiyou has a bronze sword, Abang also has a torch stick, and the worst one should be Gu Fei, who has nothing to defend himself, and is bare-handed.
I was thinking about it when there was a sudden loud noise in the back, and when I looked back, a man jumped on Abang's back, and Abang threw it down, and at once it was bitten out of the shoulder with a few holes.
Not only did this noise catch our attention, but almost all the people in the cave gathered, one after the other, in a circle, and surrounded us in the middle and screamed at us, and this scene made my scalp tingle, and the people climbed almost the whole cave.
Abang hurriedly found a lighter, lit the torch, all of a sudden, this group of people retreated a few steps, we continued to move forward for the time being, and the encirclement also continued to move forward with our actions. I hugged Ayou and thought, Ayou, Ayou, if you weren't seriously injured, you would have been done with just one voice, so why be so nervous?
We sped up and walked for a long time, the torches were getting darker and darker, after all, it was only a temporary system, it was good to be able to do this, the encirclement was shrinking smaller and smaller, I pulled open my coat, took Ayou in my arms, jumped twice, and couldn't fall out. Ayou, I'll temporarily wronged you to stay there for a while, don't scratch me when you wake up. In this case, I will fight for my life later, and it will be easier for me to move.
The torches were completely extinguished, and in the light of the flashlight, I saw a large crowd of people jumping up, almost like flying, and pounced on us!
Fuck it, fight with them!
