Chapter 260: The Hope of Survival
Suddenly, I laughed. The untimely laughter echoed in this small space, completely different from the sad atmosphere of the present.
Ouyang Qian couldn't help but hit me, and then said angrily: "You fool, what are you laughing at!" ”
I held back a laugh and explained:
"I don't know if you've seen the movie "Buried Alive". Anyway, I only saw it recently. Tell me, how can there be such a coincidence in the world, we happen to be like the protagonist in that movie, falling into a wooden box and about to be buried in the earth. ”
"Buried Alive, I've seen it. I really like that actor. Wow, you really say that, we're in a situation where we're in too much of a similar situation. If you've only seen it recently, that's ironic! ”
Ouyang Qian looked at me and said, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously had a little smile.
In this way, our emotions calmed down a little, and the two of us began to talk endlessly.
We are like two condemned prisoners who are about to be executed, but there is great optimism and we talk about the world in the face of death.
And the audience, there is only this narrow coffin and this wooden box around us.
“…… That person, it's funny, he said, he printed the People's Republic of China on his 'that', hahahaha......"
"Hahahaha......"
This is a joke I just made, which made Ouyang Qian's eyes smile and couldn't open it.
Just as I was about to continue, I suddenly realized that something was not quite right.
"Team Shao, can you tell me one more......" Ouyang Qian asked me to tell her a joke.
But instead of paying attention to her, I looked at the round hole to my left and leaned my nostrils over.
"What's wrong?" Ouyang Qian also saw my strange behavior, and she asked puzzled.
"Xiaoqian, how long have we been in?" I asked.
Ouyang Qian stared at the coffin board, took out her mobile phone from her body with difficulty, and then opened it to see the time on it.
"Team Shao, it's night...... Around nine o'clock. At nine-ten-a-half, we've been in for almost an hour. What's wrong, what's the problem? She looked at me and asked.
"Hmm. Turn off the phone first, we may need to use it later. "I brought my nostrils closer to the round hole again, to prove once again that what I had just felt was not a hallucination.
When the cold feeling touched my cheek again, I turned my head, looked at Ouyang Qian excitedly, and asked:
"Qian, did you feel any discomfort while we were talking?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"And did you feel any lack of oxygen?"
"Uh...... Don't say it, I didn't pay attention to it before, but now it looks like I really don't feel like I'm deprived of oxygen! ”
I grabbed her hand excitedly and said, "Then it's not like I'm hallucinating!" Just now, I felt a gust of wind through that round hole! ”
"Wind?!" Ouyang Qian reached out and probed my forehead, then shook her hand in front of me again, and said a little jokingly:
"Team Shao, you shouldn't be stupid, right? We're underground now. The ground is full of dirt, how can there be wind?! ”
"That's why I just asked you if you feel like you're suffering from hypoxia! Since neither of us is experiencing breathlessness at the same time, there are only two possibilities:
The first is that the two of us collectively hallucinate. The second one, which is the outside of this round hole, is an empty space! And this space is probably still connected to the outside world! ”
As soon as she heard what I said, Ouyang Qian was also obviously moved.
"In that case, if we can get out of the hole, then we can escape!"
"That's right."
"But how can we escape?"
That's really a problem. We now have neither a very strong thing to be able to smash the planks of this coffin, nor a firearm on our body to be able to open this thing directly.
Just as I was thinking, I suddenly saw the urn lying quietly next to us.
"Qian, maybe we can use this thing."
With that, I picked up the heavy urn. But since we're all in complete darkness right now, I can't see what this box looks like.
I shook it, and the ashes inside should be full of boxes.
"Team Shao, you want to use the urn to smash open this coffin?" Ouyang Qian asked.
"No way, in order to get out, we have to do this. I believe that before the two of us run out of energy, we should be able to smash a piece of life out of this urn. But ......"
"But what? I think this is a good solution, at least we still have a glimmer of hope! ”
"But the box was too heavy, which made it difficult for me to handle. So I can't help but turn it on and ......"
Ouyang Qian heard my words and was silent for a few seconds.
She also knew that I had to open the urn and pour out all the ashes inside. In this way, the weight of the box will be reduced a lot.
"I know, this is a great disrespect to the dead. But if we don't, we really won't be able to get out alive! ”
Ouyang Qian also seemed to have figured it out at this time, she said, "Team Shao, pour it out." I believe that Guo Cuihua not only won't blame us, but she should also feel very happy, because she helped two living people after her death! ”
"If you want to think like that, then I don't have any psychological burden."
With that, I opened the urn and poured out all the ashes.
Suddenly, the coffin we were in was filled with the smell of ashes.
There was no other special smell, this was like the smell of ordinary dust, but the feeling of fine ash sticking to the mucosal tract was still not good.
But I can't do that much at the moment. The dirt above our heads was already covered, and we couldn't have gotten out of it anyway. Now, on the other side of this little hole, is all our hope.
So I started using the urn and slammed it on the side of the coffin. In order to make the impact stronger, I chose the side at the very end of the urn, which also creates more pressure for us and makes it more likely that I will open the coffin.
Even though the coffin wasn't as hard to open as I thought, it took a lot of effort to get it out of the hole.
Seeing this broken mouth, I turned my head and looked at Ouyang Qian beside me with a smile.
"Qian, we have hope of going out."
