Chapter 279: Survival in the Belly of the Mountain (01)

The ice is falling, the steam is getting thicker, the temperature is getting hotter, the magma is getting closer, but they have no way out, and almost everyone is in a state of confusion under the interweaving of various threats.

Carol, the only one who knew there was a way out here, had turned into a lump of meatloaf, and that was their last hope, but it was clear that there was no longer even the last hope, so they had to figure out their way here.

Seeing that the magma was getting closer and closer, the group could only disperse, moving along the rock wall, looking for an exit, including those staff and guards who escaped from the base, and the instinct of survival made them put down all mustard and began to work together to find a way out, and finally they found a crack in the rock far away, which could only allow one person to pass sideways, but they didn't know where to lead, let alone whether it was a dead end, but by this time, they had no choice, and they could only plunge into it, squeezed in sideways, and even threw away a lot of things in order to pass them as soon as possible, the gap was too small, and they had to do so.

Although the squeezed can only inhale and close their stomachs, holding their breath to move in, but almost everyone feels that this is their paradise, because they no longer have to be smashed by those falling ice cubes outside, it is simply a nightmare, it feels uncomfortable to watch their companions being slapped into meatloaf, it is not anger, it is not sympathy, but the fear that the next person to become a meatloaf will be themselves, this fear even makes some people fall into a state of collapse directly, give up running for their lives and squat there and wait for death, although less than half of the people who escaped were before, But these people are basically on the verge of collapse, even people who have gone through the storm like heavy fists and military doctors, they are also made to have palpitations and panic, who is not afraid? Unless he's not human.

"Damn, I can't get by." The thorn dolphin in front of him was stuck in the gap, it was too narrow, and he couldn't squeeze through it with a long effort.

If they do get stuck here, they won't be far from finishing, and the lava is still spreading in this direction, and it won't be long before it pours in through the cracks in the rock, and by that time they'll really be hanging on the wall.

"You're too fat." The heavy punch climbed directly up, and climbed over the top of the head of the hedgehog, the gap on it was large, he stuck on it and lifted the hedgehog, "Climb from above, you are too strong." ”

It is true that the size of the hedgehog is a few sizes larger than that of ordinary people, but where he can pass, everyone else must be able to get by, but if he gets stuck, others will also be blocked.

"If we go this way, we can't outrun the magma!" The ghost shadow is a little anxious, in fact, it's not just him, everyone is anxious, but there is nothing to do, the gap is so big, you can't get up quickly at all, the problem is where you can climb, I don't know, they only expect to be able to avoid the magma behind them, not to be burned to death, as for this gap, where can they take them, it can only be left to fate, only hope that this is not a dead end, at least there can be enough space, not to be burned to ashes by magma.

The width of the whole gap is different, but most places can only pass sideways, but fortunately, at least from the current situation, this is not a dead end, they can still move forward little by little, dozens of people are crowded in this gap, this feeling is indeed a bit strange, the people in the back just got in from the gap, but the magma is getting closer and closer, and they are in a hurry to squeeze forward, and the people in front are a little messy because the gap is too narrow and can't raise the speed, so it's a bit messy, but no one can help it.

"Damn, can't you crack wider?" The thorn dolphin was uncomfortable by this gap, many times he was almost unable to move, and his overly strong body caused him great trouble in this place, making it almost difficult for him to find space to maneuver, let alone turn around, even if he was sideways and did not move forward, it was quite difficult.

Moved forward, about more than 100 meters, the whole gap finally became a little more open, they were able to speed up, and moved forward for a while, the space was open again, basically a person wide, can walk normally, but the height is relatively short, to bend over, walking is more tiring, but compared with the previous situation, this is also a great improvement.

"At least it's not a dead end." Heavy punches breathed a sigh of relief.

"What bird place?" The ghost looked at this gap, "This is still natural, not artificially excavated, can it get out?" ”

"At least not for the time being, that's enough." The medic said as he walked forward.

The width of the whole gap is narrow, it is always changing, the deeper you go, the more errands you go, they don't know which one can get out, they can only choose a wider gap to continue walking, but in many cases, they will get into a dead end, can only turn back and find other directions, in this process, many base staff and guards, have found their own direction to escape, in this narrow passage gap there are many forks, there is no way to control these people, to be honest, the military doctor does not want to control, now they are too busy to take care of themselves, They didn't bother to pay attention to those guys, they drilled around in this crevice, walked and stopped, tossed and turned for six hours, and still had no way out, they didn't know where they were, let alone how far they were from outside, but one thing they knew for sure was that they didn't have to worry about being burned to death by magma, let alone being steamed by the heat, because not long after entering here, the temperature around them began to drop rapidly, and finally the temperature here only remained around 0 degrees, but this was not good news, it was freezing and snowy outsideIf the temperature here is constant or changes slightly, it only means that they are still far from outside, after all, it is now minus 20 degrees outside.

"Take a break!" Heavy Punch chose a relatively spacious place to sit down, and from the beginning of the battle to the present, for more than ten hours, they have not found a suitable opportunity to stop and take a breath.

"Ouch, how big is this place?" The ghost shadow also has a sore back, and this kind of place where you can only bend over and walk is really physically draining.

"Big or not the point? The key is whether we can get out, this gap is criss-crossed, we have completely lost our way, the most important point is that even if we know that it is useless to go south, south, west, and northwest, we can only follow the direction of the gap. The medic said.

"At least one thing can be proven, we didn't enter the escape route that Carroll said, we just drilled through the crevices between the mountains, completely lost, and if we want to get out, I'm afraid we can only rely on luck." Lucas said.

"As long as you don't die, keep going, wherever you go." The heavy punch rummaged through the bag for a long time, only finding a piece of chocolate, he broke it into three parts, one part into his mouth, and the remaining two parts for Ghost and Thor, "At least we've escaped from that damn base, it would be a shame if we were trapped in this mountain crevice." ”

"Judging from the horizontal height and temperature, we should not have run underground, we should still be in this volcano, this volcano is actually not that big, we are probably going around in circles, but we don't know if this gap can lead to the outside, walk more, don't be afraid, I'm afraid that it will be in vain to go to the end." Lucas said.

"The lighting should last a while, but we have to prepare for the worst, and from now on, only the people who are responsible for guiding the way and the aftermath will turn on the lights, and the rest of the people will turn off the flashlights." The medic said.

"Now we still have 16 people, and there are still 11 people coming out of the base, all of them are staff, and the guards have all run away." The prickly dolphin said as he looked at the people behind him who were tied in a pile.

"Come here." The military doctor greeted them, and those people only sent a representative over for a long time, a middle-aged man, who looked like he should be almost 50.

"What do you want? We just want to go out with you, we're just working here. The man was a little apprehensive.

"As long as you don't make trouble, we won't embarrass you, how about it?" "We're also trying to figure out how to get out, but now we're lost, and we don't want to carry some uncertainties, but we don't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, so you'd better be honest." ”

"We can guarantee this, only follow behind, and not cause trouble for you." The middle-aged man nodded.

"What's your name?" Heavy Punch asked.

"You can call me Jason." The man quickly replied.

"Alright! You take care of yourselves and honestly follow behind. The military doctor said.

"We've got some injuries, we've got a broken head, can you give some ......" Jason asked for some medical supplies.

"Give him a first aid kit." The military doctor waved his hand, he didn't have the heart to think about this, anyway, they couldn't use up the first aid kits.

"Thank you." Jason breathed a sigh of relief.

After resting for a while, they set off again, and after nearly three hours of groping in the dark mountain crevices, they finally saw a little hope, they saw the ice, and followed the remaining ice, which showed that they were close to the periphery, which was indeed good news, and everyone was excited about it, but it didn't take long for them to find that the ice, the scope of existence was not large, and after walking forward for a while, they entered a dead end again......

"It's already very cold." Touching the wall-like stone bar, he said, "If you guess correctly, the outside of this stone should be icy and snowy." ”

"This thickness is not something that this C4 in our hands can blow up." The ghost tapped on the rock, and the thickness of the stone was roughly judged by the echo.

"At least we're close, let's go, maybe we can get out in a different direction." The medic said.

"If you change directions, you can only go back, there is no fork in the road here." The ghost sighed.

"There's something over here." Lucas found something in a narrow slit not far away, "It's a dried corpse." ”

A few people looked over and found that there were two corpses that had been seriously shrunk inside, judging from the way they were dressed, they should be people in the base, but judging from this state, the time was not short.

"Do I know where these people come from?" Said the military doctor.

After examining the body, Jason said he had heard of someone missing, but did not know the details.

Looking at the two dried corpses with big mouths, everyone's hearts were cold, and they couldn't help but think of themselves, these two people were probably trapped here because they couldn't find a way out, so what about them? Will you have to face the same fate?

"Don't be cranky, we're definitely luckier than them." Heavy Punch knows what everyone is thinking.

"We've been here for ten hours, we've been walking, but we haven't seen any hope." Someone said.

"Hope is given by ourselves, hold on, we have no other choice, either continue to walk or be like them." The medic turned around and squeezed towards the other side of the gap, clearly trying to prove that he wasn't going to give up.

The group silently followed, continuing to look for a way out in this dark place.

As time goes on, the temperature here gets colder and lower, but they get more and more excited, which seems to indicate that they are approaching the outside world, otherwise the temperature will not continue to drop, and they are most likely approaching the ice and snow world outside.

"There's another possibility." "According to the time, it should be early in the morning, when the temperature is at its lowest, and it's likely that it's getting cold here for this reason, not that we're approaching outside. ”

"There's nothing to say, let's see!" Heavy punches also know that it is useless to say anything now, and persevering is their only hope at the moment.

"The people in the back may not be able to stand it." Lucas reported in a low voice that Jason's condition is not very good, compared to the physical strength of these people, it is not bad, in this kind of place, to drill gaps, many places need to be squeezed through, or crawling, the consumption of the body is quite huge, these people have been relying on the desire to survive, but now they are really unbearable, a little unable to keep up with them, but they have been holding on, if this continues, they will be left behind sooner or later.

"We are not obliged to take care of them, we can follow them, even if we can't keep up, it is all up to them." The medic was in no mood to pay attention to these people.

"If we can't get out, we'll be finished sooner or later." This is what Lucas really cares about, he thinks of himself through the state of those people, and the survival of the dark day for more than ten hours below does make him feel like he is almost broken.

"I don't know what to say except to persevere, think about your family! That might give you some motivation, don't forget, there's hope that we can still go, I don't know how far we are ahead, I don't even know if we can get out, but I know that if I stop, I can't find another chance to get out. "Although our mission was not successful, it achieved its goal to a certain extent, at least destroying the headquarters of this organization, but if we were trapped in this place, then everything would be meaningless to us......"
