Chapter 207: Alone
The island itself is a huge machine, and it may be possible to have clever mechanisms, but there is no fuel that can provide it with enough power to operate for a thousand years, I can only think of the kinetic energy of the seawater, but it was impossible for humans to have this kind of technology at that time.
No matter how you look at it, it's impossible, it's something that science can't explain, even the Mohists can't study it thoroughly, no matter how much I think about it, it's in vain, just like 19 said, maybe God really exists.
The distant "bang" sound seemed to be really close, there was obviously less marine life here, we were getting closer and closer to the core, the road was still difficult to walk, the terrain was changing all the time, we were gradually moving away from the cave, and I saw a human skin figurine standing in the crevice in the rock in front of me.
Strangely, its expression was as numb as the ones outside, and I couldn't help but wonder if we were going in the wrong direction, and the rocks became more and more violent, and we went back to running, but luckily we didn't encounter a dead end, and I didn't want to experience that feeling of being squeezed a second time.
My sense of time was broken by the sound that had been lingering in my ears, I don't know how long it was, my feet were a little sore, and my ankles that had been pinched were slightly swollen, but I didn't dare to tell Nineteen, as long as I could still walk, it wouldn't be a big deal, I just wanted to get the jade quickly and get out of here quickly.
The activity of the labyrinth seems to be traceable, a frequent and a gentle, now is the time to be more soothing, just after the intense exercise, we no longer pursue speed, and through two rock crevices, we saw a slightly larger cave, there is no stagnant water, the rock is still clean, the only drawback is that there is a human figurine, looking at us numbly.
"Take a break and continue in ten minutes." Nineteen said, sitting on the floor.
I also found a relatively smooth rock to sit on, we didn't dare to unload our equipment, nor did we dare to lean against the stone wall, they were still moving slightly as far as the naked eye could see, and there was a strange grinding sound all around.
I didn't dare to look at the human skin figurines, deliberately sat on the back of it, but my eyes always couldn't help but fall on it, I drank a lot of water, it was okay not to drink, I don't know why, the more I drank, the more thirsty I became, and finally I didn't dare to waste it anymore, and forcibly stuffed it back, maybe I drank too much, and I panicked after eating a little.
The legs and feet have been in motion, suddenly relaxed, the muscles are light and weak, I pounded twice, glanced at Nineteen, saw that he did not look at me, quickly reached out and pinched two ankles.
Both times I pinched the same foot, it was already a little painful, but now it hurts even more, I don't know what the ankle has become, maybe it's like wearing a blue and purple wide ankle ring.
I'm sure it's just a bruise, but it's too strong for me to imagine what it is, and fear has been haunting me, and if I could see it with my own eyes, I probably wouldn't be as scared as I am now.
"Ahh ——”
A sharp scream suddenly came, everyone jumped up in an arrow step, and I quickly stood up, only to see that everyone was surprised, this scream was high and urgent, as if it was stabbed from under the feet, and it was difficult to find the source for a while.
I couldn't even tell if it was a human voice, the sluggish labyrinth was stimulated, and the rock walls moved wildly, crushing straight at us!
"Let's go!"
Nineteen shouted, and was the first to enter a rock crevice, I was the furthest away from him, and my speed was slow, and I was left behind, and the rock crevice contracted at a rapid rate, originally one and a half wide, and by the time I ran to the exit, it was only one person wide.
There was a terrible tremor under my feet, I fell on my heels, and I quickly got up despite the pain, there was a crackling sound, the top of my head was no longer empty, countless crushed sea creatures fell from the sky like rain, and the dirty stuff like mud fell on my head, and I held my head to follow their footsteps, and there was a rock crack in front of me.
It was contracting rapidly, my body was squeezing in, but my right foot was stuck outside, and I was even more panicked, and I couldn't even break free with a few kicks, but was stuck tighter.
They didn't notice me, they had already run away, the rock wall was tightly contracted, my ankle hurt as if it was broken, and in the panic I couldn't care about anything, and shouted: "Help! ”
Running in the last eleven turn, he quickly ran towards me, the rock crevice became narrower and narrower, I felt that the bones on both sides of my shoulders were about to break, Eleven was very thin, and his body was also flexible, he jumped up quickly, kicked the rock twice, and ran in front of me with a real cornice, I saw the sword in his hand emitting a sharp blue light, and the sword body roared down against the stone wall, and the stone ridge that trapped me was split between the electric light and flint.
The stone wall suddenly shook even more violently, it shrank violently, and squeezed in with a stronger crushing force, Eleven pushed me violently and pushed me out of the rock crevice, and the whole person fell on top of me, and I watched as the stone slit in front of me closed, and Nineteen were on the other side.
"Eleven! Osawa! ”
It was Achuan's voice, very small, and my ears were full of falling and crushing sounds, as if I was separated from them by a mountain.
"We're fine!"
I yelled as hard as I could, but I didn't know if they heard it, and I vaguely heard a response from the other side, but I couldn't make out a word.
Eleven jumped up, and I struggled to get up, he didn't have any expression, but I hardly dared to look at him, I had hurt him, it was still dangerous to walk together, let alone separate, I was a burden to him.
The surrounding stone walls were crushed like crazy, and we had nowhere to escape, but to squeeze into a hollow crevice, watching the heavy rocks squeeze in, I felt that it was difficult to breathe, and Eleven began to shrink my bones again, and I could only lie on my side like a worm in the stone crevices, and the stone walls got closer and closer, and it seemed that this time they were not going to let us go.
The stone walls were full of sharp shells and stone ridges, even if they couldn't cling to it, it was enough to stab us to death, and I turned over and pressed Eleven under me, he was trapped to save me, and I would trade my life for him if I could.
"You're crazy!"
His voice was still so cold, with rare mood swings, I couldn't see his face, he was completely buried by me.
I already felt something sharp behind me against me, and if I took a step forward, I would be pierced, I closed my eyes and waited for the moment to come, but it didn't happen, the movement of the stone wall did not stop, it was under me that moved, the stone crack suddenly contracted, and suddenly revealed a large hole, we were caught off guard, and the two of them fell down together.
"Ahh
I subconsciously screamed, and my body suddenly stopped in weightlessness, and when I looked up, I saw Eleven hanging a shellfish stone with one hand, and he was holding my backpack with him, and he was carrying me with him.
I'm still sliding irrepressibly, and my backpack and I weigh one hundred and eighty pounds together, plus his original weight, God knows how much strength this young man has.
The flashlight had already fallen to the bottom of the cave, at least three or four meters deep, and I saw that the bottom was full of concave rocks overgrown with various shellfish, covered with slippery seaweed.
I could feel Eleven pulling hard, I could even hear him squeaking through his clenched teeth, the flashlight below suddenly went out, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness, and I heard the sound of the rock wall grinding again, just below me, very close, very close.
But I couldn't see anything, Eleven didn't let go, I heard a tearing sound above my head, Eleven's hand suddenly let go, I slid down more than ten centimeters, there was a low muffled snort above my head, the tearing sound suddenly increased, we fell off suddenly, I heard the sound of the stone bones rolling down.
The moment I felt weightlessness I felt something grab my elbow and throw me into the darkness beside me, Eleven's hand was pulled away, I couldn't feel him anymore, and then I heard a fall into the water, it was loud, it must have been Eleven, and I myself was thrown to the other side, it was a slope, I rolled uncontrollably for a long time, and finally I was stuck by a hard object, which hit my abdomen, and it hurt me dizzily.
The touch on the elbow was still there, and I didn't dare to delay, gritting my teeth to get up, but I underestimated the weight of the blow, and this pain was not something that could be overcome by will.
It was quiet around, the rock wall stopped moving, I waved my arms and turned around, there was nothing around, the pain in my abdomen gradually lessened, I took out a flashlight from my backpack, opened it and saw that it was a rather wide rock crevice bottom, the space is not small, but it is very narrow and long, this rock crevice is horizontal, I rolled down the slope next to it.
The environment was clear at a glance, I didn't see the thing that grabbed my elbow, Eleven didn't make a sound at all, he must have just fallen into the water.
I raised my flashlight and poked half of my body into the rock crevice, and when I looked up, it looked like it was about seven or eight meters, but the entrance where I fell in was closed.
The air was filled with coldness, and I took off my clothes halfway to see a distinct blue and red handprint on my elbow, exactly the same as the one on my ankle.
It's a ghost who caught me!
I quickly put on my clothes, picked up the flashlight and shone it back and forth, like a little rabbit on the verge of a great enemy, my nerves tensed, since that thing pulled me, it would definitely not stop, it might be staring at me coldly.
I drew the dagger out and swung it around a few times, I always thought it was something invisible, otherwise how could it avoid our eyes again and again, it was useless to swing around, I didn't cut anything.
I stood there for a long time, there was still no sound around me, I was alone, and it was so terrifying that there was no danger lurking around me.
Fear gradually took over my thoughts, but I didn't expect that when the danger really came, my brain was still blank, and all the skills I had learned were so pale and weak at the moment, and when I thought about it, none of them could be used.
