Chapter 11: The Escape (Part II)
In the dark passage, smoke and dust filled the air.
The loud bang was followed by aftershocks from the astonishing devastation.
The ears were still buzzing, and the muffled sound of the stones rolling down from time to time was terrifying.
Tang Ling coughed violently, feeling that his internal organs were still shaking.
There is nothing wrong with her mother-in-law, and nothing is wrong with her sister, Tang Ling stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, pulling up the two people who were pressed under him just now.
"." Quark spat a mouthful of saliva, wiped a handful of dust from his face, and said to himself, "The amount is too much." ”
But then he laughed exaggeratedly, stretched out a middle finger of his left hand and shook it, and roared, "Damn rats, do you want to follow again?" ”
Not caring about Quark's strange gestures, Tang Ling stopped coughing for a moment, and when he looked back, he found that countless stones, large and small, had buried the entrance of the passage they had just entered.
"What is it?" The shock in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and even in the forest where he ventured, the most dangerous Rock Splitting Bear could not launch such an attack.
Is this something that weak humans can do? Can a Purple Moon Warrior?
That explosion, that amazing destructive power, just by looking at it, you can't forget it.
"Dynamite. Got it? Dynamite. Quark seemed to be in a good mood, took out a pot of water from a small backpack he carried, took a sip and replied casually.
Tang Ling's eyes widened, medicine? A cure? He couldn't understand that such a thing could have such power?
With a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, Quark casually put his hand on Tang Ling's shoulder: "I once heard a word called sitting in a well and watching the sky. It means that the frog, no, it should be called a flimp, is placed in a narrow tunnel, and the sky is always the size of the exit of the tunnel. ”
"You know what? This is to describe the ignorant. But, if you think about it, sometimes ignorance can be a blessing. You, just live. As he spoke, Quark began to rummage through his bag again, pulling out a slightly rusty cylinder, and with a slight press of it, a bright light source lit up in the dark passage.
This time, not only Tang Ling, but even her mother-in-law was very surprised, they knew that there was something in the safety zone that emitted light through something called electricity, called a lamp.
But what is in Quark's hands? Is it also a lamp?
"Let's go, stay in this damn passage, and sooner or later you'll be trapped to death. Once, I looked at it, and it had direct access to the safe zone. When the time comes, the people in the safe zone will be surprised to find out, wow, how can a person pop up underground, even the Purple Moon Warrior can't stop me..."Quark chattered, took his glowing cylinder, and walked straight ahead.
Tang Ling wordlessly picked up his sister and pulled his mother-in-law to follow behind Quark.
He couldn't put into words how he felt at this time, the sadness of hell and the 'magic' of Quark's display were intertwined into inexplicable emotions in his heart, he doubted the reality of this world, and he couldn't explain that weak humans were not so 'weak'.
At least quark proves it.
"You said you were going to dig this passage straight into the safe zone? Does that mean the passage leads to a safe zone? Tang Ling's mood was complicated, but the words that suddenly came out of his mother-in-law interrupted Tang Ling's thoughts.
Quark turned around, and in the light, Tang Ling noticed a strange light flashing in his mother-in-law's eyes, eager and shocked!
"How is that possible? At least a few hundred meters from the safe zone! It is impossible to move forward. Quark's tone was a little frustrated.
"Why, didn't you say it leads to the safe zone?" Tang Ling would not hold on to this kind of ethereal hope, if he really went straight to the safe zone, Quark really didn't need to find him.
But this does not mean that Tang Ling has no doubts.
"X, the Purple-Striped Serpent! There's a whole nest of blackhorned purple snakes behind the wall! Quark's expression was filled with fear, and he didn't hide anything to tell Tang Ling the reason.
"What did you say?" A surge of anger rose in Tang Ling's heart, and he stepped forward and grabbed Quark's collar.
As an adventurous hunter, he knows all too well how dangerous the black horned violet snake is. The king of the forest is the Split Stone Bear, but he also does not dare to fight hard in the face of the black-horned purple snake.
Just because the adult black-horned purple snake is at least fifteen meters long, their burst of power can strangle all beasts, including the Split-Stone Bear, if you are successfully caught by it.
If that's all there is to it, it's not terrible. The terrible thing is that the black horned purple snake is highly venomous, even if it is only scratched by its teeth or the horns on its head, it means that there is no help.
A black-horned purple-striped snake is the most terrible killer, what is the concept of a litter of black-horned purple-striped snakes? In comparison, the corpse crowd outside is not much more terrifying.
Quark had brought them into such danger? How could Tang Ling endure it?
"Why else do you think I called you?" Quark was not nervous, but gently pushed Tang Ling's hand away, and then said, "Theoretically, this passage can lead to the safe zone, but the road is blocked by a wall at a key location. ”
"I don't know who built those walls by damn it. But now, I think they should be thanked. When I struggled to break down the wall, I found a group of black-horned purple snakes inside. Among them, there is also a big one. ”
"I'm sure it's about to mutate again."
Quark said all this in one breath, regardless of whether Tang Ling could digest this information or not, or if he couldn't understand the meaning of the mutation. In short, he winked at Tang Ling and said very directly: "Could it be that you still want to hide it anymore?" You can avoid danger. ”
Tang Ling's expression changed, is this what Quark knows, his secret? Something about the precision instinct.
But thankfully, he doesn't know 'it' yet!
"You're stalking me?" No matter what, this feeling is not good, Tang Ling's eyes are full of defense.
"I think any businessman would be interested in inexplicably lucky guys. But just because I'm interested doesn't mean I care. Except for now! "Quark didn't deny anything.
Tang Ling stopped talking, in fact, judging from the various miracles shown by Quark, it was not impossible for him to quietly observe himself.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Ling began to stand side by side with Quark: "What you just said is too vague, you must tell me the details." Relying on the ethereal instinct alone, I can't guarantee to get anyone out of here. ”
As for what you will face after you go out? What to do? Tang Ling didn't have any complete plans, but the immediate predicament had to be solved.
Because, there is no way back.
"There is nothing wrong with it." Quark began to whisper in his ear to Tang Ling in detail about the situation of this secret passage.
And Tang Ling listened carefully, not noticing the dimming eyes of his mother-in-law, and Shanshan, who had been completely quiet since he didn't know when.
Once again, she lost her instinct to cry.
