Chapter 116: Race against time
"Brother, sue me, what's wrong? Why did your expression become so strict? At the beginning, Tang Shuai was still relaxed. Even though the hole was blocked, he still felt relaxed when he knew he was trapped. But now, his expression suddenly became stern. Gao Rui knew that something big should have happened.
"The rock on the wall of this cave has traces of being washed by the sea." Tang Shuai said.
"Well, so what?" Gaureth didn't realize there was anything wrong with that.
Tang Shuai kicked the rock blocked at the entrance of the cave a few times, but it was all useless. There seemed to be a lot of rocks piled up outside, no matter how strong Tang Shuai was, it was impossible to get rid of the rocks piled outside.
Tang Shuai sighed, and then said to Gao Rui: "That is to say, when the tide rises, the sea water will flood this cave. Ma Cheng left you here, probably trying to drown you when the tide rises. At that time, he was expected to stay by Takamatsu's side. Tomorrow he will take your body away and throw it into the crowded sea. When the time comes, according to the time of death, Takamatsu will give him an alibi instead. This old immortal is quite insidious, he wants to kill someone else's daughter, and let someone else give him an alibi. β
"Time, time, what time is it?" When Gao Rui heard this, he asked tightly.
Tang Shuai took out the mobile phone, and at this time, the mobile phone had no signal at all. But you can still see the time.
"It's eight o'clock in the evening." Tang Shuai said.
"Today is the twelfth day of the lunar calendar, and the time of high tide should be around ten o'clock in the evening." Gao Rui said.
"You know that well?"
"Of course, I grew up by the sea and know that the change of tides is the most basic. Otherwise, it is dangerous not to know the time of high tide. β
After Tang Shuai heard this, the expression on his face became even stricter. "At high tide, the tide doesn't fill the cave all at once, but I think the end result will fill the cave. In other words, we still have more than two hours to find a way to escape. Of course, when the tide will fill the cave, I don't know. So we can only calculate the minimum time, two hours. β
Gao Rui heard this, and his little face was frightened. "Brother, what if we hadn't escaped in two hours?"
"The tide will flood us little by little, and when the tide fills the cave, it will be our time of death."
"Don't, I don't want to, I don't want to die, save me." Gao Rui was so frightened that she cried again. Tang Shuai came, thinking that he was finally saved, but he didn't expect that he would still die now. The entrance to the cave is blocked by rocks, and it is impossible to get out.
Perhaps the most feared moment for a person is not when he dies, but when he waits for death. When he learned that he was about to die, the psychological oppression in that was really more terrifying than death.
"Don't cry, I'll figure it out." Tang Shuai said. Tang Shuai also knew that he might not be able to resist the power of nature, so he said not to fight against the power of nature. Then you have to stay away before this disaster comes. Stay away from this destructive force.
Tang Shuai kicked the rock sealed at the entrance of the cave again, but helplessly, there was still no movement.
"Brother, am I going to die?"
"No, it won't."
"But we can't get out now."
Tang Shuai didn't answer Gao Rui again, but asked her to sit down. "You wait for me here, I'll be back shortly."
"Will you leave me?" Gao Rui grabbed Tang Shuai's trouser leg tightly. She was afraid that Tang Shuai would not come back after leaving, in that case, she would only die alone. And he also broke his foot, and he definitely couldn't walk alone.
"I'll be back soon, don't worry." After speaking, Tang Shuai walked towards the depths of the cave with a flashlight.
Looking at the fading lights, Gao Rui curled up on the ground, crying in a low voice. She didn't know if Tang Shuai would come back, but she thought that she and Tang Shuai had only known each other for a day or two, and now that he was too protective of himself, he shouldn't take her with him anymore. Now I should have been abandoned by her, waiting for death in this darkness.
"Don't, don't, I don't want to die, I don't want to die here." Gao Rui whispered while crying. But at this time, she no longer knew where Tang Shuai had gone, and she couldn't even hear the sound of footsteps. She wanted to get up and chase after her, but now she couldn't walk at all.
"Sure enough, no one will come to save me, I'm going to die here." It feels like a long time has passed, and Tang Shuai has not returned. Already in complete despair, she lay down and waited for death to come. She didn't blame Tang Shuai, after all, she didn't have much friendship with him, and she embezzled one million from him. When life is at stake, it is normal for people to leave her alone as a burden.
At this time, Gao Rui was worried about his father. If he died, there would be no way to sue his father, and Ma Cheng wanted to harm him. Even if Tang Shuai goes out and tells the matter, his father may not believe it. After all, Ma Cheng wanted to blame Tang Shuai, and Tang Shuai's explanation would be considered as deliberately framing Ma Cheng. From now on, Gao Song will trust his own driver more than Tang Shuai, a kid who has only met once.
Just then, Gaudius heard footsteps. Then, the lights came in. She knew that it was Tang Shuai who came back. I didn't cry anymore, but I couldn't hold back my tears at this time.
"He didn't abandon me, he didn't. But it's also possible that there is a dead end ahead, and he can't walk before he comes back. Gao Rui thought secretly in his heart.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Crying again? Tang Shuai walked up to Gao Rui, squatted down, and helped her wipe her tears.
"I thought you left me behind, you went = so long." Gao Rui said aggrievedly.
"What nonsense, I've only been away for more than ten minutes."
"Liar, I've felt like I've been at least a couple of hours now."
"In a few hours, the place was already filled with seawater. Look at the time for yourself, eight eighteen. Tang Shuai took out her mobile phone and showed Gao Rui the time, and she believed that Tang Shuai had only been away for more than ten minutes.
"Where did you just go?" Gao Rui asked.
"Go and confirm something."
"Confirm what?"
"Cheng DΓΉ, who was damp in the cave, didn't pay attention when he walked inside just now. So I went back and looked at it, and sure enough, it was right, the more I went inside, the wetter it became. That is, the sea does not come in through this one entrance that is sealed, but through another, or rather several other entrances. We are here now, and it should be the highest place in the cave. At high tide, it is also the last place to be submerged. Tang Shuai said.
"So what? The same will be drowned. β
"Stupid." Tang Shuai said: "Since the sea water came in from another entrance, that is to say, we have not been completely trapped in it. We can go inside, maybe through another exit. But it's also an adventure, after all, we don't know how far the other exit is from here or how long it will take. After all, at the lowest time we estimated, we only had just over an hour. If we haven't gone out at high tide, the further we go inside, the sooner we're likely to die. But if you stay here, you might live a little longer. After all, this is the highest place in the cave. The sea can't flood this place right away, girl, are you afraid? If you are not afraid, drink some water, eat this bread, and put it on my back, and we set off. β
Although he might die earlier if he went inside, Tang Shuai had no other choice. If you don't leave, stay here, you will be drowned after all.
"Why are you going to go backwards? If you just leave, it will buy you a lot of time. You rewind it, which means you spend that time. It's possible that Lang Fei is spending this time and you can't get out. Gao Rui said to Tang Shuai. She knew in her heart that time was really life for them now. But Tang Shuai had obviously left, but he still returned.
"I said you idiot, leaving a schoolboy here is not something my universe commander would do. Since you all know that you are delaying time, then don't give Lao Tzu nonsense, drink some water, there are three loaves of bread, give me to eat. Tang Shuai said.
"I can't eat that much."
"If you can't eat it, you have to eat it, and if you get into the sea here, the bread will be scrapped. Now that I have eaten it, save a little more body. Tang Shuai said.
"But you eat it too."
"I don't need it, your mother, don't talk nonsense with Lao Tzu, hurry up and eat."
"Hmm." Gao Rui said, and began to gobble up. After all, it's not too early, and she's already hungry.
"Come on." Gao Rui tore a piece of bread and fed it to Tang Shuai's mouth.
Tang Shuai looked at Gao Rui, and at this time she looked at Tang Shuai with expectant eyes. Tang Shuai didn't refuse anymore and opened his mouth.
After Gao Rui fed the face to Tang Shuai's mouth, a smile appeared on her face. The three breads were divided between the two, but Tang Shuai ate at most half of it, and let Gao Rui eat the rest. drank some water, and at this time there were still two bottles of water left, let Gao Rui hold it in his hand, Tang Shuai squatted down and carried Gao Rui up. Then began this race against time, Tang Shuai didn't know if he would win, after all, he didn't know how far the other exit of this cave would be from here. In such a cave, Tang Shuai had no way to run, so he could only walk step by step. And even if you find an exit, you don't know if the size of the hole will allow you to get out of it.
"Brother, will we die?" Gao Rui asked again. After all, time is running out.
