Chapter 3: Dead End
The tunnel returned to darkness, Chen Lingfeng groped his way up, and with the memory of the phone before the light disappeared just now, he crawled to the wall of the tunnel. There was no sound around him, but he knew that Lin Ge was nearby, and the two of them were only ten meters apart.
There was a sound of rustling, as if someone was crawling on the ground. Chen Lingfeng's breathing was a little short, he knew that it must be Lin Ge's voice, but now it was pitch black and there was no light, and he was like a fish on a chopping board for slaughter. He crouched down, groping his hands around the tunnel wall, hoping to retrieve the phone he had just dropped.
The sound of crawling had already approached, and suddenly, Chen Lingfeng's right hand touched a piece of cold metal, which was the touch of the mobile phone, and he quickly manipulated the mobile phone as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and pressed the screen on. At the same time, the white light of a flashlight flickered, followed by a heavy smell of blood mixed with a roar like a wild beast, Lin Ge rushed out of the darkness and threw him to the ground, he wanted to resist, but Lin Ge didn't know where to get his strength, the strength was surprisingly strong, and he couldn't move for a while.
"We... They all have to die! Lin Ge's throat moved, and he let out a low roar. The flashlight in his left hand also smashed down on Chen Lingfeng's head. Chen Lingfeng twisted his body as hard as he could, pushed away Lin Ge's right hand that was pressing him, and tilted his head to the side to avoid the flashlight that Lin Ge had smashed. One blow missed, Lin Ge didn't mean to stop, and immediately pounced again, and the two scuffled together. Lin Ge relied on the advantage of strength, completely ignoring the injuries on his hands, and desperately attacked Chen Lingfeng, but Chen Lingfeng dodged left and right and couldn't find a way to fight back, and finally his feet were unstable, and he was thrown to the ground by Lin Ge. Lin Ge smiled hideously, and the blood oozing from the corners of his mouth fell on Chen Lingfeng's face drop by drop.
"You can't escape!" Lin Ge raised the flashlight with both hands and smashed it at Chen Lingfeng's head. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Chen Lingfeng had to raise his hands in front of his forehead.
At the last moment, there was a muffled sound of "pop", and the pain that Chen Lingfeng expected did not come from his hand, and then Lin Ge fell to the ground. Mo Xiaoli stood aside with a stone in his hand, his chest rising and falling violently.
"You... Are you okay? Is this person Lin Ge? Mo Xiaoli threw away the stones, still a little unable to believe what she had just seen.
"I don't know how he got like this, but when I came over, I found him on his knees with a bloody face. But no matter what, he must be controlled first. Chen Lingfeng tore off a piece of his clothes and prepared to tie Lin Ge up. Before he could get closer, Lin Ge got up from the ground, the wound on his head was still oozing blood, but he still had a twisted smile on his face as if he didn't know the pain.
Chen Lingfeng protected Mo Xiaoli behind him, and the two slowly retreated. Lin Ge was still smiling stupidly, and suddenly he picked up the flashlight in his hand and shook it, and ran towards the carriage quickly, disappearing into the darkness again. Chen Lingfeng and Mo Xiaoli sat on the ground as if relieved, gasping for breath before calming down for a long time.
"I guess Lin Ge had a head injury that led to his delirium, which led to this extreme violence." Chen Lingfeng helped Mo Xiaoli to stand up again.
"In the current situation, we can't stay on the other side of the carriage anymore, in case we run into Lin Ge again, it will be troublesome." Chen Lingfeng continued.
"So what do we do now? If only my leg hadn't hurt. ”
"You wait here for a while, I'll go get the supplies I just found, and we'll go the other way." Chen Lingfeng pointed to the boundless darkness behind them.
"Well, you go and come back quickly, I'll be waiting for you here." Mo Xiaoli let go of Chen Lingfeng's hand, although she was a little scared, but after all, she had practiced taekwondo since she was a child, and she was not too flustered at this time.
Chen Lingfeng turned around and walked quickly in the direction of the carriage, and after a while, he returned to the place where he had bandaged Mo Xiaoli's wound just now. Thankfully, the supply backpack he cleared out wasn't taken away by Lin Ge. Picking up the backpack, Chen Lingfeng felt a little more steady, and soon he returned to Mo Xiaoli's side, and the two of them walked towards the darkness step by step.
The tunnel was still extending, and the two of them slowly groped their way through the tunnel by the faint light of the flashlight.
"We might be able to get out of here." Mo Xiaoli turned her head and said with a wry smile.
"I hope so..." Chen Lingfeng looked at the darkness in front of him, he didn't want to pour cold water at this time, but his heart couldn't calm down, as if there was always a voice in his ear saying, "You... Can't get out. ”
I don't know how long it took to walk, but both of them began to get a little tired, and the tunnel seemed to have no end, and the darkness was still stretching endlessly. Finally walked through a corner, and the picture that Chen Lingfeng didn't want to see still appeared. The tunnel here has collapsed and been destroyed, and the huge rocks are stacked together to block the way forward, and if you want to get out, you can only try your luck on the side of the carriage, but Lin Ge is also over there, thinking of his bloodthirsty eyes like beasts, Chen Lingfeng decided that the two of them should rest and adjust here first. After all, there are injuries on the body, and the exhaustion of the body is about to reach the limit.
The two put down their backpacks, and Chen Lingfeng carefully inspected the collapsed boulder again, there was not a trace of a gap, and there was no way to move, and it blocked the way strongly, and the two of them couldn't get through it with their strength alone. Mo Xiaoli took out her mobile phone by luck, and as expected, no signal was received in the tunnel at all. All hope seemed to be extinguished in an instant, Mo Xiaoli leaned against the wall in a gloomy manner, tears flowed out uncontrollably, she rarely cried, hard training since she was a child, she had already trained her into a strong girl, but compared with the desperate road in front of her, all the strength was like foam, and it was gently crushed.
Chen Lingfeng looked at the lost Mo Xiaoli, although he was also a little desperate, but at this moment he knew that Mo Xiaoli needed comfort more. He walked over and patted Mo Xiaoli on the shoulder, Mo Xiaoli threw himself into his arms, and the two hugged quietly in the dark, each other's temperature made the desperate world ignite a glimmer of hope.
"Did you think someone would come to our rescue?" Mo Xiaoli leaned on Chen Lingfeng's shoulder and asked, her tone calming down a lot.
"Definitely, if there is such a big accident, it won't be long before the rescue team comes. Our priority now is to take care of ourselves so that we can wait for the rescue team to come. Chen Lingfeng handed a piece of bread to Mo Xiaoli.
"Well, we'll get out alive." Mo Xiaoli took the bread and smiled a little more.
In a dark environment, time is no longer important. After the rectification, Chen Lingfeng looked at his mobile phone carefully, at 1 o'clock in the morning, the night was already deep, and after calculating the date, three days had passed since they set off, and they had been in a coma in the carriage for two days after the accident. Unlocked the phone, Chen Lingfeng looked at the photos in Hou Chujie's mobile phone, and the past began to replay in his mind one by one, and the sound of Mo Xiaoli's sleeping snort came from his ears.
"Smack", the phone was not powered enough to turn off, and the darkness swept in again, Chen Lingfeng leaned against the cold tunnel wall, tears quietly running down his cheeks.
