203. Retreat
Tang Brick couldn't feel the temperature of the flame, looked back, and saw that Guo Ziming seemed to be scared stupid, and couldn't help shouting: "Why are you stunned!" Ignition! ”
At this moment, everyone saw a desperate scene. I saw that those Gu worms suddenly stopped in front of the gunpowder trap, and they didn't take half a step forward again.
Guo Ziming, who was already preparing to ignite the fire and trigger the trap, was stunned, and then saw many ants and insects coming out of the swarm and began to continuously sweep away the gunpowder in front of him.
Guo Ziming's face suddenly turned pale, this ......
Fu Liang and the others were even more eyeballs, what the hell, the Gu worms were actually cleaning up the traps? Do they know that this gunpowder is dangerous?
Turning his head to look at Tang Brick, who had already run back to the team, Fu Liang stammered and asked, "This, these Gu worms have IQ?" ”
Whether the Gu worm has an IQ or not, Tang Brick doesn't know, he only knows that the plan of himself and the others is probably going to fail.
Judging from the Gu worm's movements, it was obvious that it would come over only when all the gunpowder was cleaned. As a matter of common sense, this shouldn't happen. They should have rushed over and then been burned by the flames.
Now there is no time to think about why something unreasonable happened, Tang Brick's face was solemn, and he shouted: "Go!" Get out of here! ”
There are too many Gu worms in front of them, and it is not suitable to use a weapon of mass destruction such as grenades in the passage, otherwise if they collapse, the Heavenly King Lao Tzu will not be able to protect them, I said!
Guo Ziming and others also understood this, and after seeing more and more ants and insects running out to clean up the gunpowder, he jumped up directly, rushed into the crowd without looking back, and shouted: "Hurry up!" ”
As he spoke, Guo Ziming threw out a windproof lighter and ignited the gunpowder.
Since the Gu worms didn't cross over, they could only take the opportunity to escape, the gunpowder did not have the expected effect, but it could buy time for everyone's retreat, and it could be regarded as having a role.
Everyone else was carrying weapons, and any gun weighed more than ten or twenty pounds. Tang Brick's hand was empty, so he had to carry the girl in white on his back in the envious eyes of everyone.
The girl's body is light, soft as boneless, and there is a faint fragrance. In this passage full of the smell of Gu insects and blood, the fragrance is particularly unique.
The crowd fled as fast as they could, at least much faster than they were advancing.
But what makes people even more desperate is that when they run back along the familiar road, they find that the road ahead is becoming less and less familiar.
"Stop!" Guo Ziming suddenly called out to everyone, he groped around a corner, and then said with a heavy expression: "This is not the way you came!" ”
Although when I came, I took a straight road, even if I occasionally encountered a fork in the road, it was the same way. But in a cautious manner, Guo Ziming still used a saber to carve a special mark on the corner.
On the one hand, it can leave a way back for itself, and on the other hand, if it really encounters the result of the annihilation of the whole army, it can also provide some information for future generations.
But now, he didn't touch anything around the corners.
Guo Ziming would not suspect that he had not left a mark on a corner, and he even remembered that the corner here was supposed to be to the right, but now it was facing to the left.
Clearly, the road has changed.
Why the road changes is a maddening question.
Fu Liang trembled and asked, "Could it be that this passage is also a Gu worm?" Are we in the guts of a big bug? ”
Tang Brick glanced at him and said, "You think too much, if there is such a big Gu worm in the world, I will eat the grenade on your waist!" ”
Even the "Gu worm expert" said so, and everyone immediately threw away Fu Liang's unbelievable idea. But even if Fu Liang didn't guess correctly, it was a fact that the road had changed.
Guo Ziming subconsciously looked at Tang Brick, and so did the others.
I don't know when it began, when everyone encountered a problem that was difficult to solve, they would first look at Tang Brick's idea. Maybe it's because Tang Brick knows Gu worms better than them, or maybe the things he has done along the way have really convinced them.
Tang Brick is not a person who likes to shrink his head when he encounters difficulties, on the contrary, the experience of his youth makes him prefer to make up his own mind.
Now that everyone had seen it, he thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, keep walking, otherwise, stopping is just a dead end." But since we're running away, we might as well find a way to blow up the road behind us. ”
This is a good idea, if the passage collapses, it can block the Gu worms. Even if they could get through the cracks, there wouldn't be too many.
The gunpowder burned very fast, and the sound of Gu worms chasing after him could be faintly heard behind him. If you continue to delay, I am afraid that you will really be eaten alive by Gu worms as Tang Brick said.
Guo Ziming hummed and pulled the bolt: "Fu Liang, Zheng Xiaosong, blow up the passage!" Others are going full speed ahead, be vigilant! ”
It is very dangerous to stay and plant the bomb now, and no one knows when the Gu worms will catch up. But Fu Liang and Zheng Xiaosong were not dissatisfied, let alone asked why the two of them stayed.
The two quickly collected the time bombs on everyone and set them up in the passage. The bombs were placed in such a way that if they exploded in the wrong direction, they would not be able to collapse the passage. In that case, it would be a waste of effort.
Guo Ziming and the others had already taken the lead in leaving, and Tang Brick followed and ran around a corner, thought about it, and stopped again.
Fu Liang and Zheng Xiaosong are just ordinary people, they may not know how to get out when they encounter Gu worms, it is better to wait for them for a while.
While waiting, Tang Brick felt his neck tighten slightly. The girl in white who was carrying it wrapped her arms around his neck, then leaned on her ear and asked softly, "Your name is Tang Brick?" ”
Her voice was very nice, and it was even more pleasant than when she stuttered before.
Tang Brick didn't have time to be polite to her, so he replied casually, paying more attention to the two figures in the passage.
The girl in white leaned into his ear and asked, "If you are alone, you should be able to escape easily, right?" With them, it can be even more dangerous. ”
Tang Brick frowned: "Are you trying to persuade me to give up on them and leave alone?" ”
"I just wanted to ask you why not." The girl in white said.
Tang Brick's voice was cold: "Because if I am injured like you, they will not leave me here." ”
A group of people who are reluctant to throw away even a corpse, it is impossible to expect them to abandon a large living person. This kind of "stupidity" seems to have infected Tang bricks.
He also didn't want to give up on these people at will.
After a few seconds, the girl in white spoke again: "You seem to be different from those people before." ”
"Who were before?" Tang Brick asked.
"It's because I'm afraid, I just leave my companions behind."
Tang Brick was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Because they are not us." ”
When he said this sentence, especially the word "we", Tang Brick suddenly felt a little touched in his heart. For the first time, he felt the meaning of the word "compatriot", a meaning that made people proud and excited!
They are not us, they will not be as tenacious as us, they will not be like us and will never abandon or give up!
We can be afraid, we can die, but we will never abandon our companions because of these two things!
Compatriots, how heavy!
The girl in white didn't ask again, and no one could see it, she stared at the eyes on the back of Tang Brick's head, revealing a little interest.
It's like a child sees a new toy and wants to figure out how to play with it.
At this time, Fu Liang and Zheng Xiaosong had already set up the bomb. They ran over quickly, and when they saw Tang Brick, both of them were slightly stunned.
Then, they understood what Tang Brick was waiting for here. The two of them showed a kind smile on their faces, and Fu Liang stepped forward and patted Tang Brick's shoulder: "Good brother!" ”
Zheng Xiaosong shouted: "Hurry up, it's about to explode!" ”
The three of them raised their legs and ran, and just a few steps away, a huge roar came from behind them.
The entire passage shook, the sound of a violent explosion was deafening, and the sound of collapse sounded behind him. The continuous sound made several people's faces a little pale.
They weren't afraid of explosions, they were afraid that if the passage collapsed too much, they would bury themselves alive.
Countless dust spread in the passage, Fu Liang coughed a few times, and couldn't help but scold: "Damn, I knew to pretend to be less!" Choke to death! ”
Zheng Xiaosong laughed out loud: "Even you can't stand it, aren't those insects even more unbearable?" ”
Fu Liang was stunned, thinking that he didn't know how many Gu worms might be stoned to death, and he couldn't help laughing.
The girl lying on Tang Brick's body, looking at the two of them who couldn't stop laughing, her eyes fluttered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Soon, the three of them converged with Guo Ziming and others.
The crowd didn't have time to be polite and ran wildly along the road. But no matter how you run, the passage seems to have no end.
It wasn't until everyone felt a little tired that Guo Ziming asked people to stop and rest.
Fu Liang leaned against the wall and gasped, put the gun on his back on the ground, and scolded: "What the hell is this, why has it changed so much?" ”
Judging by the way they came, they should have run out of the mountain now, and maybe even the riverbank. But now, there is still no end to the passage, giving people the illusion that they can't get out until their hair is gray.
Don't say that Fu Liang is scolding, and the others are no better.
A good road will change when it is said, and it does not give people psychological preparation at all.
Guo Ziming habitually walked up to Tang Brick and asked, "What do you think is the situation now?" ”
Tang Brick shook his head: "I don't know either." ”
At this time, a soldier in charge of the front guard suddenly shouted: "Who's there!" ”
Everyone instantly raised the muzzle of their guns and pulled the bolt.
But no one came out, and there were no Gu worms. Guo Ziming made a gesture and led several people to look over there.
Walking around a corner, it didn't take long for him to beckon Tang Brick to come over.
Tang Brick put down the girl in white, and then walked over to take a look, only to see an arrow carved on the corner wall, pointing out the direction. What's even more puzzling is that there are three words written under the arrow: "Red Child." ”
