The Scourge of Witchcraft Chapter 50 The roof of the cave collapsed

"Lao Chen, Lao Chen, what's wrong?" Old man Li shouted vigorously.

But before Chen Fangyuan could answer, there was a loud "bang" in the hall, and then I saw a person running towards us in the haze.

Before I could see who it was, there was another "click" under my feet, and when I looked down, I saw a crack in the beam outside the doorway, and the beam on the other side of the crack was falling little by little.

Finally, I saw who was running towards us, it turned out to be the man surnamed Zhu - Zhu Wu, he was desperately running on the beam that was only one person wide, and his whole person was falling down with the beam, I looked at this picture in disbelief that would only appear in the movie, thinking that he was going to die this time.

But who knew that the beam fell for a while and suddenly stopped, and Zhu Wu took advantage of this time to jump vigorously and jumped into the doorway.

I didn't pay attention to Zhu Wu, who jumped in, but moved my eyes to the crack in the beam, and I saw that there were things like vines or tree roots growing in the beam, and it was these rhizomes that were pulling the beam.

"Coffin~~~~ Coffin~~~~ The coffin has fallen!" Zhu Wu gasped and shouted behind me.

Hearing Zhu Wu's shout, I shifted my attention from those rhizomes to Zhu Wu.

"What about Lao Chen? And Lao Luo! How are they? Mr. Bi squatted aside and asked nervously.

"No~~~ I don't know, they ran too slowly, so I ran over from the beam next to me."

Mr. Bi quickly stood up, walked to the door opening, and shouted loudly: "Old Chen! Lao Chen! ”

As soon as Mr. Bi's voice fell, Chen Fangyuan's voice sounded in the hall: "Mr. Bi, we escaped, it's Zhu Wu~~~ Zhu Wuhe~~~"

"Lao Chen, Zhu Wu is here with us, what's wrong?"

"What? Zhu Wu went to you? Great, I thought he had fallen! Hey, Mr. Bi, it's hard to say, let's dig out a zombie hole, you can ask Zhu Wu for the specific situation! ”

Qiu Yan and I immediately looked at Zhu Wu, and Mr. Bi also walked over.

"Hey~~~~~Hey~~~~, Lao Tzu has never been so frightened when he grows so big, he blames Luo Lao's nose, he has to let me in!" Zhu Wu seemed to have palpitations, and he trembled a little when he spoke.

It turned out that after Chen Fangyuan and the four of them entered the doorway, they immediately went up and down, prying and digging against the brick wall, and during the conversation between me and Mr. Bi, they finally pried out a gap, just as they expected, behind the brick wall was not dirt, but a dark space.

Luo Lao Dao was overjoyed and said that this was the exit, so he shouted for Zhu Wu and the others to expand the gap until it could accommodate one person in and out.

When Zhu Wu and the others were digging the entrance of the cave, they heard movement inside, and he told Chen Fangyuan and Luo Laodao, but Luo Laodao didn't believe it, and insisted that this was the exit, saying that he had calculated it according to the direction of the coffin and the gossip hall, and that this was the Shengmen, there could be no mistake, and said that the movement Zhu Wu heard was just an echo when they were digging the brick wall.

Because Zhu Wu wasn't quite sure what the sound was, he thought that if it was an echo, it would be explainable, so he believed Luo Laodao's words.

"As soon as the old cow's nose saw the hole open, he rushed to go in~~~~" Zhu Wu said angrily.

"Wait," didn't you say that Luo Laodao forced you to go in first? Qiu Yan interrupted Zhu Wu and asked.

Zhu Wu patted his chest and shouted, "Lao Tzu is holding a gun, can you still let the old man go in first?" He didn't say anything and drilled into it, didn't he force me in? ”

"Okay, tell me what you saw when you went in?" Mr. Bi urged.

"What else could it be? Zombies! As soon as I entered, I saw several figures standing there, and I thought it was a statue again, so I wanted to go over and see it clearly, and I knew that I had just walked a few steps, and I found that the figures were not standing at all, but were moving slowly, and they were getting up from the ground a lot. ”

"So they chased it out?" Qiu Yan interjected again.

"Hmph, yes, they're coming after me, but slowly! I got out of the hole and told Chen Lao and Luo Lao's nose, and we ran back, but these two old men were too timid to run on the beam, and they walked so slowly, which made the zombies catch up! ”

"So the zombies caught up with the beams and crushed them?" I asked.

"Isn't it? When the beam collapsed, we just ran to the coffin, the beam collapsed, and even the coffin was brought down, and the three of them ran directly to the opposite doorway, and I wanted to go with them after the palace, but these two old men were too slow, I couldn't be in a hurry, so I ran over from the beam next to me, hey, thanks to my timely run, otherwise, I would have fallen down with the coffin! ”

After Zhu Wu finished speaking, he let out a long breath, and then stabilized.

After listening to this, Mr. Bi looked at the brick wall behind us and muttered: "Now it's okay, there may be a hole behind everyone, and there may be zombies in each hole, and Lao Luo can't figure out the way to live, and there is no way for us to retreat!" Mr. Bi's tone seemed to describe an event that had nothing to do with him, and although every word he said was desperate, his tone did not fluctuate in the slightest.

"So none of us can open the brick wall behind us, we can only look for an exit from somewhere else!" I said to Mr. Bi with certainty.

At this time, Luo Lao Dao shouted over there: "I'm sorry everyone, my old Luo has no ability, it seems that I have to find another way out!" ”

"Looking for another way out? Is it above or below? I said Lao Luo, there is no shame in the craft tide, but it is a shame if the craft tide is still successful! ”

"Lao Guo, don't say a word, Lao Luo doesn't want things to become like this, you might as well think about how to get out."

"Lao Chen, why don't you understand, we are now on the top of the coffin and the bottom of the coffin, this is a living coffin, we can't get out!"

"Lao Guo, don't disturb the morale of the army here, everyone listen, we will never give up until the last moment, I don't believe there is no way out here!"

I listened as the old men stared at the fiery red sinkhole below, thinking that maybe the exit was really down there, but I noticed the rising temperature outside the jumpsuit, and it told me that there could be nothing other than lava down there, and that I had better not be under any illusions.

There was no exit below, and I looked up again, and above was the "ceiling" of the hall, and under the red light, I could clearly see the stone bricks attached to it, and even if there was an exit above, we didn't have the tools to climb up at the moment, which was really embarrassing!

Thinking about it, I suddenly thought of the cave entrance I came in before, according to my memory, that cave should be near Chen Fangyuan and them.

"Chen Fangyuan!" I shouted, "Look next to you, if the hole is near you!" ”

A few people who were arguing immediately quieted down when they heard this, and after a while, Chen Fangyuan replied: "That's right, it's on our left, but it's a little far away from me, about three or four meters, and we can't get by." ”

"Aren't there still chains? See if you can get there with the help of chains? ”

"This~~~uh, this~~~~"

Judging from Chen Fangyuan's snorting voice, he was very scared, it seemed that what Zhu Wu said was not exaggerating, he was really a timid old man.

"Chen Fangyuan, if you fall, you will die, you may be able to live if you try, are you willing to die or do you want to gamble?"

"Okay, I'll give it a try!" After hesitating for a while, Chen Fangyuan replied.

......

A few minutes later, while everyone was holding their breath and waiting for an echo in the silence, Chen Fangyuan suddenly shouted: "It's dripping water up there, what's going on?" ”

It was this sentence that made me realize that there was a serious problem, and that was the rising temperature.

You must know that the top of our heads is actually the hill next to the camp, because of the isolation of the hall, this place has been under the harsh winter for most of the year, so the hill is frozen soil underneath, at this time the temperature in the hall is rising, and the frozen soil is softening little by little, so that it is only a matter of time before the whole hill collapses.

"Come back to the doorway, Chen Fangyuan, the roof is about to collapse!" I hurriedly shouted.

So, there was another sound of "clanging" chains colliding on Chen Fangyuan's side, and after a while, Chen Fangyuan came back: "He boy, I'm back in the doorway, what did you just say?" The roof is about to collapse? ”

"Most likely, the temperature here is melting the frozen ground above, and the roof above may collapse before you can climb into the hole."

"What then? Are we going to be buried alive? ”

"Don't worry about it so much, let's try to lean into the door hole, wait and see!"

When my voice fell, everyone fell silent, and I asked Mr. Bi and Qiu Yan to stick to the brick wall, while I came out from time to time to take a look, and then felt the dripping water with my hands.

However, things did not take a turn for the worse as I had imagined, and although the water was dripping more and more and bigger, the top above did not move, and I thought I had mispredicted.

But my intuition told me that it was right to do this, Chen Fangyuan couldn't climb to the entrance of the cave, and said that if he was crushed to death by the collapsed roof in the process of climbing, wouldn't it be too cost-effective?

After waiting for more than half an hour, I was a little impatient, and even hoped that the roof would collapse sooner.

Sure enough, just when Qiu Yan couldn't bear it anymore and was clamoring to come out to take a look, I saw a stone fall from the top, smashed on the iron chain, and then bounced into the air, and then fell into the red light below.

Soon the second stone fell, then the third, and then the bricks on top rained down, and even pieces of dirt followed.
