Chapter 227: Hair Tour
I don't dare to think about the truth about the floating island, they must know more than me, I don't want to ask, I don't dare to ask, it is enough to know in my heart, it is useless to say it except to deepen the fear, what can I ask them, why does such a floating island exist? They won't know either.
Knowing a truth, there will be more questions hidden behind it, and there will never be an end to the continuous exploration, my purpose is not to explore the secret, I just want to live, why is it so difficult.
I soaked in the water against the stone wall, the rock behind me squirmed, like a piece of hard meat, I smiled bitterly, in fact, it was originally meat, there are many small creatures moving under my feet, just grab a handful and you can see thin legs fluttering in the rough gravel, and then look at the rock crevice opposite, it is clear that there are two worlds.
Those strange tentacles could not perceive us, and had begun to retreat, and they shrank back against the cracks in the rock, not knowing where they would return or what their ends were.
Brother Shen may have seen it, but there is no way to discuss it here, they can say it, but I can't read anything except simple and common words, I feel that this place is made to deal with my problems, and it teaches me how to shut up and think for myself.
The blood spread, much shallower than the other side, and we didn't rest for long, so Brother Shen got up and put on his equipment, and walked back the way he came without saying a word.
No one asked, no one objected, everyone marched in full gear, and I quickly followed, knowing that what we needed was not discussion, but action, and that there was not much time left for us, and if we hadn't seen the burial chamber when the floating island was sinking, then our action would have been a joke.
I suddenly felt what responsibility was, for the first time I felt that the burden on my shoulders was so heavy, the terrain had completely changed, my memory was only on the nearest three or four rock crevices, and now through two, I could clearly see that the road I had walked had been blocked.
Brother Shen took another path, everything ahead became new again, and we returned to the situation of constant exploration, I looked back from time to time, those tentacles really didn't follow, everything I just experienced was so false.
So why did you go this way in the first place? Why did Brother Shen go by himself? I looked at his back and wanted to stop him and ask for clarification.
The water in the cave was gradually getting shallower, and we did turn back, and gradually, the water depth dropped to the base of my thigh, and the flashlight in front of me suddenly shook twice, and I was shocked, Brother Shen was walking very unsteadily, and he had spent too much energy.
I suddenly remembered that he had only treated the wound but had not injected or taken anti-infective medicine, and now it must be an infection, he didn't ask for it at the beginning, and they seemed to have forgotten.
I raised my hand and patted him like a ghost, he turned to look at me, his already pale face was even more bloodless, my heart tightened, and I tentatively spoke: "Are you okay?" Take a break. ”
There was no sound, he must have understood, but he didn't stop, he just turned around and continued, and the moment he turned his head I saw his lips move, he said something, but I didn't see it clearly.
I can't tell what mood it is, and I want to persuade him, but I didn't stretch out my hand, once is enough, no matter how much I persuade him what he doesn't want to do, it's useless, I looked back at Nineteen, his eyes were calm, as if he didn't see anything.
I panicked, I could only follow mechanically, my shirt was gradually drying, the salt stimulated the wound to become more and more painful, the itch always wanted to scratch, there must be something irritating in the mucus on those tentacles.
I thought we were walking outside, but the water in front of us gradually deepened, this part of the road was too long, I didn't expect this silent field to be so big, we never saw any traces left by people, and we didn't encounter those tentacles again.
The water was getting deeper and deeper, but Brother Shen seemed to have recovered, his speed was a little faster than before, and while the maze was soothing, I proposed to rest, on the grounds that I couldn't stand it anymore.
They sat down without hesitation, in fact, I can still hold on, but I am really afraid that Brother Shen will suddenly fall, I think he is just holding on, I have been paying attention to him, but I found that his face is really much better.
I was a little puzzled, he couldn't even stand on his feet at first, but he recovered so quickly, looking at him much better than before, even if a person can bear it anymore, the fatigue in his eyes can't be hidden, he is really getting better.
I breathed a sigh of relief, I suddenly felt very hungry, I had only drunk some water during the last rest, and I had no desire to eat after the fierce battle, and now my body began to cry out for instinct.
I took out the compressed beef and gnawed a lot, and after drinking a little water, it swelled, this time the compressed beef was different from the last time, there was almost no taste, I knew that this was also a special equipment of the Mo family, they knew that they could not get fresh water this time, so they reduced the salt in the food.
Even if the food is very light and the salt in the environment is enough, the Mo family is really thoughtful, they always make the most convenient and applicable arrangements in the most insignificant details, and only when they experience it will they understand the intention.
As if to accommodate me, this time they rested for a long time, they didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, but I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep, as soon as I closed my eyes, there was a scene of tentacles dancing in front of me, with blood spraying everywhere, in a daze, I suddenly suspected the scene I saw at the beginning, the cave was sprayed with blood everywhere, was it really the rock bleeding at that time?
I didn't think about it, I couldn't think about it, I couldn't see anything with my eyes closed, I couldn't hear anything, it seemed like everyone was gone, I panicked, I kept opening my eyes to see, and every time I saw Brother Shen staring straight at me, as if there was something different about me.
I was uncomfortable with him, and after a few times, I saw him get up and put his equipment back on, and nineteen of them immediately stood up, and the group of people always moved so fast.
I saw that they discussed a little bit, it seemed to be a normal word, everyone looked calm, and we continued to move forward, only this time it was changed to Eleven to lead the way, which means that now it is A-Qing to guide the way.
Brother Shen walked behind me, and I couldn't help but turn my head to look at him, why didn't he lead the way, didn't he know how to go?
I've been confused from the beginning, and I'm going to suffocate if I can't communicate all the way, and it is estimated that with this action, the Mo family's future training programs will become more, provided that we can get out.
I smiled bitterly, the danger was still there, but I couldn't help but think about it, I knew that my heart was broken, and I no longer wanted to complete the mission, but to escape.
I couldn't detect the direction, I only knew that the water under my feet was getting deeper and deeper, we went deeper, bypassing those sand caves, there were two roads at the beginning, I don't know why they chose the side with the sand hole, it was Brother Shen who asked the question, it was Nineteen who made the decision, it was Nineteen who wanted to go to the side with the sand hole, couldn't Ah Qing see that there was hidden danger there?
Gradually, I couldn't think about it anymore, the terrain was getting lower and lower, the water was getting deeper and deeper, and we could no longer walk on the rocks, so we could only swim, and there was no place to settle between the crevices of the rocks, so we had to keep swimming.
Swimming takes a lot more physical effort than walking, especially the water here is very cold, even if I swim desperately, I can't get warm, and when I stop a little, the heat in my body quickly dissipates, and I am tired from swimming.
I thought I was used to life in the water, but I didn't expect to experience life and death here again, swimming like this is not as refreshing as fighting, and the only advantage is probably that the buoyancy of the water reduces the load.
I saw a lot of human skin figurines sunk underwater, only a few dozen centimeters from the surface of the water, we swam through them, we could feel the hair like aquatic plants brushing over the body, in many places the water surface was covered with hair, long clumps of hair, completely covering the underwater situation, the situation was the most terrifying to not see, not to mention that this is not seaweed, but real hair.
In the ghost stories I heard most often when I was a child, there was always a female ghost with very long hair, who hung her long slippery and sticky hair on people's faces in the middle of the night, and gradually wrapped the whole person with her hair, and the person would be trapped in a cobweb and unable to struggle, these hairs seemed to have life, and it would get into your mouth, nose, ears, and eyes......
I didn't dare to think about it, the loose hair cut across my face, obviously gentle, but I felt like a knife, and I kept suggesting that it was just seaweed, but it was useless.
The smiling faces were facing me, and I could clearly see the narrow knife cuts on their scalps, which were densely sewn together, and the stitches were so fine and delicate that the makers really regarded them as works of art.
The more terrifying it became, I couldn't imagine the state of mind of the maker, what kind of mood he was in to make these figurines, such a delicate workmanship, at first glance it was a pleasant thing.
This is hell on earth, and I began to imagine the tomb owner as a monster with three heads and six arms, and the more I thought about it, the more chilling I became, and our speed slowed down, and there were more and more human skin figurines, and the dense hair floated on the water layer after layer, layer after layer, and even the face of the human skin figurines could not be seen.
Eleven didn't seem to care about the immobile creatures, and I ran after him, hitting the human figurines several times, and every time I touched the soft, cold touch, my whole body was numb, and I felt like I couldn't even swim.
There are also too many human skin figurines, this seems to be a special place to store human skin figurines, and after swimming through a few rock crevices, the body can not sink under the water, and the bottom is densely packed with human skin figurines, crowded in all directions.
