Chapter 782: Claustrophobic Space
Ning Yi couldn't tell whether Elton would travel to another world or go back to twenty years ago after Elton jumped.
Or, from beginning to end, it was simply a scam that he directed and acted in.
But the moment Elton jumped off, he looked hopeful.
It seems likely that his letter is true.
But then it's hard to understand.
It would be unreasonable if he went back twenty years, sent a letter to himself, and then disappeared without a trace.
A person who has information about the future doesn't want to regain what he lost?
Ning Yi shook his head.
Of course, he was actually very interested to know if he could really travel back.
If you have the chance to go out, you might want to check out the various nameless islands, and maybe you can really find Elton, who started living in seclusion twenty years ago.
But that's not something Ning Yi has to think about anymore.
Return to Elton's pantry.
only to find that there were a lot of people standing at the door.
There were about seven or eight of them, staring straight at Krees and Kaya, and there was a burning heat in their eyes.
"Can you help us for God's sake?" A guy who probably looked like their leader spoke, his tone was very soft, and probably they also knew that Kress was definitely not something they could afford to provoke.
Kress's face darkened, and he was about to go crazy, but Ning Yi appeared in time, stretched out his hand to grab her, stared at the person in the lead and asked, "How to help?" ”
"We just saw it." When that guy saw that Ning Yi was also coming, his expression became even more panicked, and he said a little hesitantly. "There was a lot of food in there, we knew. Even if someone came to save us, it would be many days. ”
"You want the food inside?" Ning Yi stared at him. This guy's cultivation is in the middle of the red level, no wonder he will become a head.
The group www.biquge.info a lot of money, and Ning Yi found that three or four of the seven or eight people were wearing the uniforms of the Eagle Knights.
It seems that when a catastrophe comes, saving one's life is the most important thing, and where is there any loyalty at all.
"No problem, but there's no such thing as a free lunch." Ning Yi swept them around. He said lightly, "You should know very well that the entrance to the cave is sealed, but we are not without a chance to escape, as long as we clean up the rubble, we can save ourselves, and those who want food can do it, but you must help clean up the gravel at the entrance of the cave." ”
The group of people showed hesitation, and one of them even confessed directly: "It's too dangerous." It was a landslide, and if we moved it, it would probably cause a secondary landslide. ”
"Danger? If you don't eat, you're not in danger, right? Ning Yi was speechless for a while when he heard this. You want to eat, you don't want to work, what kind of people are these?
The gang heard that. There are still many people who show a look of course.
It seems that if it weren't for Ning Yi, their cultivation would be higher than theirs. It's also quite possible that they will rob them.
If it weren't for the fact that these people still have use value, Ning Yi really wanted to directly blow them all away with one palm.
"That. If we were to move, how much food would you give us? The leader was silent for a moment before asking.
"There are eight of you, and for every three meters you clear, I'll give each of you a bottle of water, a packet of instant noodles, and a loaf of bread."
The eight people looked at each other a few times, calculated, and felt that there was nothing to lose, after all, it was only three meters, and the difficulty should not be great.
So the two sides reached an agreement.
Ning Yi didn't be vague with them, so he went to be the overseer himself, after all, the urine of these guys didn't look good.
However, after all, with the temptation of water and bread, Ning Yi gathered all the way to the past, and almost everyone was willing to join this foolish man's plan to move mountains.
After all, in addition to bread and water, they also knew that doing so was their only chance of survival.
But soon they ran into a problem.
It was a landslide, not a normal blockage, so as they moved, the stones on it were falling down at the same time.
After tossing for a long time, it was less than half a meter away, but the gravel was cleared, and the other roads were almost blocked.
After tossing for more than four hours, Ning Yi himself joined, and the last group of people could only watch the continuous piling of gravel beside them.
In the end, there was no way, Ning Yi still gave everyone's share with a good conscience.
By the way, they asked them to pack up all the corpses along the way and throw them directly into the bottomless pit.
If they could make it through, Elton wouldn't be lonely.
After clearing the passages, the group rested, and worked for most of the day, and not a single one was not tired.
And judging from the time, it should be night outside.
Ning Yi let Krees and Kaya sleep in the bed and guard the door by herself.
In the middle of the night, two people had bad intentions and tried to break into the door and sneak attack Ning Yi.
Ning Yi was unceremonious, and one person and one palm directly blasted into a meatloaf.
From then on, he and Krees could only sleep one for the first half of the night and the other for the second half of the night.
However, after being slapped to death by Ning Yi, no one dared to use any crooked brains anymore.
However, when he slept at night, Ning Yi encountered another big problem, that is, it was too cold in the cave.
Kaya and Krees were better off with quilts, but Ning Yi and the others outside had to lie on the ground and spend the night like a date.
By the next day, several of them had suffered from frostbite and fever.
There is no way, but for the sake of humanitarianism, boil hot water for them, as for whether they can save their lives, it is difficult to say.
The next day, everyone worked all day, barely clearing another three meters.
But on the third day, tragedy struck.
They cleared another three meters, and before they could start celebrating, they collapsed again, and the rubble smashed to the ground, directly ruining all the hard work of the three days.
A group of people wanted to cry without tears.
Ning Yi was also helpless, and after three days, he tried in vain. The food and water stored in this store are about a third of the time.
If it goes on like this, let alone digging. I'm afraid that before I finish digging, I will eat up the things first.
If so. It's better not to dig it, leaving this food and waiting for the people outside to save their lives is the king, so that they can consume a little less.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Ning Yi was also drunk, looked at the depressed guys on the side, and couldn't help waving his hand: "It's all gone, rest early today." ”
"Will you continue digging tomorrow?"
"Dig!" Ning Yi stared at the broken stones on the ground and replied fiercely.
No one objected, and no one protested. They all left silently, for them, if they didn't have to dig, they might not even have anything to eat, in comparison, even if they did useless work, it was better than not having to eat.
Back in the chamber, Ning Yi looked at Kaya and Kress, who had found an antique mechanical radio receiver and transmitter in the vault.
Elton must have gotten it. Probably for communication with Professor Alain.
Kress has some knowledge of radio reception and transmission, but unfortunately all she fiddles with is some noise and interference, which has no effect.
But come to think of it, the entrance to the cave has been blocked now. There is no way to get around the radio waves.
However, the two of them are relentless in their research.
According to Ning Yi's speculation, if Si Yuan got the news, he should probably send out the news that he was trapped here. If it goes well, tomorrow Mu Qingxue or Fengying Ruo will probably go to the country of A. Rescue can be launched tomorrow at the earliest, and the day after tomorrow at the latest.
Or maybe there's another possibility. They have already launched a rescue operation.
The people trapped in the cave include Ning Yi and them, there were twenty-seven at first, but in the past three days, two of them had a high fever and could not go away, and died, three were stoned to death in the landslide, and now there are only twenty-two people left with Ning Yi and them.
They also probably know that the food and water in the pantry will last for a while, so these people can still cooperate with each other.
But after three days, many people began to despair in the face of the lack of progress in the excavation.
Gradually, people slowly became jealous of each other, some suspected that there was not enough food, some suspected that others were going to kill themselves, and some decided that they would not be able to get out in this life.
On the night of the third day, sleeping until midnight, Ning Yi suddenly heard a miserable scream.
When he got up and took a look, he found that the warrior who had been the leader had been injured by a sneak attack.
Ning Yi quickly zeroed in on the killer, the three members of the Eagle Knights, who believed that the temporary leader was always asking them to work more during the day.
Ning Yi let the rest of the people decide the life and death of those three people, and the result was not surprising, no one was willing to pardon them, and they all wanted them to die.
The reason for not saying it is very simple, one more person dies, and one less person will compete for rations.
Ning Yi walked away silently.
The ugliness of human nature is now revealed.
There were several screams behind them, and the three of them, without exception, were surrounded by other people who swarmed up, venting all their grievances on them.
"Enough!" Ning Yi finally couldn't hold back and yelled.
The men stopped together in horror, staring at Ning Yi with panicked faces.
Ning Yi stared at the three guys who were beaten to death, and said lightly: "Take good care of them, if they die, you will have nothing to eat tomorrow." ”
On the fourth day, there was still no news.
The three members of the Eagle Knights survived, albeit with scars on their faces.
On the fifth day, Ning Yi found that his cultivation was finally stable in the middle of the green level, and in South America, except for Leonardo of St. Paul's Cathedral, everyone else, including Leonardo, could only be crushed by him.
On the sixth day, the progress of the excavation finally improved a little, and after careful reinforcement, they finally cleared the passage that was about three meters long.
Although insignificant for the total distance, it was a pleasant surprise.
The only trouble is that there is still no movement outside.
And there is not much water and food left, and without foreign aid, even if there is such progress every day, they will not be able to survive. (To be continued......)
