Immortal Mystery Chapter 49 Sacrifice of Death
"This sucks!" Cao Fenghua shouted, "If this oil level continues to rise, once it reaches the height of the platform, all of us will have to die in the fire." β
Master Liang sighed: "I now finally know why there are so many incomplete bones underneath, all of which are some bone residue that has not been burned out and left...... If we continue like this, it won't be long before we become like that......"
"I ...... I don't want to be burned to death......" Jiang Jie cried.
"Ten Thousand Folded City...... Wanzhi City...... Sure enough, it lives up to its name, there is no entry and no exit...... Look at this posture, let alone 10,000 people, as long as it can fit here, even 100,000 people will have to die here! Professor Jin said desperately.
"If I don't want to be burned, I have a solution...... That is to jump down and hide below the oil surface, so that you will not be burned to death, but will only suffocate to death...... This mechanism is really ruthless, forcing people into a dilemma, either stay on it and be burned alive by the fire, or jump down and ......suffocate to death in the oil," I said through gritted teeth.
Liang Youcai asked: "Won't you have to be burned alive if you jump?" β
"No, it won't!" Uncle Xu explained, "As long as you find a piece of clothing to cover your head and face, and then jump down, although the clothes will be burned immediately, but when you get into the oil, you will be drowned by the oil, just like the wick in an oil lamp......"
"I've got an idea!" Liang Youcai suddenly shouted.
The altar glanced at him and said disdainfully: "So many people have nothing to do, what can you do as a Mr. Yin and Yang?" β
Liang Youcai didn't take care of the altar, and said directly: "Under us is the stone gate at the exit, as long as we open the stone door, we can lead to the next place, so that the oil below will also flow over, and the oil level and flame height will drop rapidly......"
"It's not that you don't know, we haven't found the mechanism to open the door after a few rounds, how to open the stone door?" The jar asked angrily.
Liang Youcai said: "Don't we still have T NT? He looked left and right: "What?" Won't that work? β
"What about having T NT? This method is successful, but have you thought about it? Who to send? You? It's a game where there's no going back, you know? The altar asked, and Liang Youcai was silent for a while.
Think about it, even if someone jumps down to plant explosives, how can they leave. There was oil down there, not water, and before it could be two or three meters away, the explosives exploded, and it must have been shattered. Even if he hadn't been blown up and opened the stone door, how would he leave? As soon as the oil surfaces up, it will be burned by flames. So, whoever does it will end up dead.
Everyone was silent. Although Cao Fenghua and Lu Daxun are the captains, none of them can say the order to send them to death like this.
After a while, Cao Fenghua stood up: "Since there is still a glimmer of hope, it is better to ......"
"I'll go!" Without waiting for Cao Fenghua to finish speaking, Lu Chao took the lead in standing up.
"Xiao Chao! You are still young, what kind of hero are you fooling? Cao Fenghua angrily reprimanded Lu Chao and said.
Lu Chao smiled miserably and said, "Captain, I'm not a hero. Let me go, no one should fight with me, I won't live long anyway. β
"What?" Everyone including Cao Fenghua was shocked.
"In fact, I was diagnosed with liver cancer before I came, and it was still at an advanced stage, and there was no cure. The reason why I took on this job was because it paid well...... I think before I die, I can leave a pension money for my parents, which can be regarded as the last filial piety I can do for them......" Lu Chao said and turned his head to Cao Fenghua and said: "Captain, I only hope that after you go out, you can put my salary on my parents' card, and go to see the two of them during the New Year's ......holidays."
Cao Fenghua nodded fiercely: "Don't worry, I will treat their second elder as my own parents to support them and provide for them to the end." β
Uncle Xu also spoke: "Don't worry, I will bear all the expenses of the two old men in the future." β
Lu Chao smiled and said, "Then I'll be relieved!" He walked over to his bag, took out a few pieces of T NT explosives, covered his head and face with his clothes, took a deep breath, and jumped off the platform.
We watched on the platform as Lu Chao threw himself into the sea of fire and disappeared into the flames.
"Xiaochao......" Cao Fenghua silently shed tears.
A minute later, the sky shook, the entire cavern shook, and the flames from the explosion almost reached the platform. If we do make the flames reach the platform, none of us will be spared. Although the flames did not reach the platform, there were still scattered sparks floating onto the platform.
The two people standing on the outermost part of the platform were accidentally splashed by the sparks floating up, and they were soaked in oil and immediately burned, and in less than a second, the flames swallowed them. They could not stand dead for a moment, and they ran towards us howling and dancing with their hands. At this time, if you are touched by the flames on their bodies, you can only end up with the same fate as them.
One of them pounced on Jiang Jie, and when the altar saw it, he immediately grabbed Jiang Jie and protected him. I was not far from the altar when I saw this, and when I saw this, I stepped forward and struck the man in the face with the clothes in his hand. The man was stunned and let out a terrible cry.
"Get out of the way!" Cao Fenghua made a decision immediately, raised the rifle in his hand, and pulled the trigger one after another, killing both of them. The two of them shook their bodies a few times, and then they fell off the platform and into the sea of fire below. We couldn't bear it, so we had to turn our heads one by one and stop looking.
"Look below! LikeγIt seems to be really effective! After a while, someone was lying on the edge of the platform, looking down at the unbearable heat, "The oil level has really dropped a lot!" β
"It's true, I don't feel as flustered as before!"
"Not only has the oil level dropped, but the faucet on the wall has also stopped spitting oil!"
"Could it be that the explosion just now shattered the mechanism of the dragon's head?"
As the oil level gradually decreased, the flames were not as high as before. After a few more hours, the oil below finally flowed almost completely, leaving a thin layer on the ground, which really could not flow out, and could only burn on the ground, but it could not last long.
During this period of time, the water we carried with us had been drunk, and we could only hold on to it, and everyone was parched, but fortunately, the flames were getting smaller and smaller, and the situation gradually improved, otherwise we would have been roasted to death even if we were not burned to death.
Looking at the flames that gradually began to extinguish below, the jar breathed a sigh of relief: "I will never eat roast chicken, roast meat and anything like that in the future......"
"Just you?" Liang Youcai glanced at the jar, "I guess you won't take the last bite, right?" β
