Chapter 16: Desperate Survival

(September 26) countdown day 95

Q City. Suburban caves.

Almost at the moment when Yao Xiaofei smashed head-on to the ground, Yao Xiaoyi gradually woke up from a coma.

She was lying on a dirt floor that looked like a cave, her shirt missing two cuffs soaked with damp mud, and a gust of wind brushed her messy hair.

It was the colder and cooler air that spurred her to wake up from her coma again. She remained motionless, waiting for her consciousness and physical strength to return to her body little by little, and then quickly recalled her situation.

She slowly opened her eyes, and it was still pitch black all around. She remembered falling from a great height before she fell unconscious, and injured her ankle; I remember crawling on the ground for a short time, until

Exhausted, tears of despair......

Once again, she felt a faint wind blowing overhead. When the mind moves, where there is wind, there must be an exit!

She raised her head slightly, using her face to feel the wind. This time she didn't feel the wind, but faintly heard the sound of water flowing. She leaned down slightly, concentrating,

Be careful to capture the sound of water.

She suddenly burst into ecstasy, and there was indeed the sound of water! As long as you can find a place where there is water, no matter how long the water is, you will definitely find a way to survive if you follow the direction of the current. And, only

If she had water, she could hold on for another day or two, even if there was no food.

The hope of being born again gave her confidence. She moved immediately, half-crouching, using her hands and feet together, and crawling slowly to the sound of the water.

The sound of the water was getting clearer, the dirt beneath her was getting wetter, and she was crawling faster. I don't know how long it took, but she felt the water in front of her, and her right hand made a branch

Brace, stretch out your left hand and fumble around.

Water, she touched the water, which was equivalent to touching the door of desperate life.

She rinsed her hands and picked up a handful of water to taste carefully, the water was a little cold, sweet and pleasant. She relieved herself and gulped down water, feeling though still hungry

I feel that my physical strength has returned a lot.

She took off her already soaked shirt, washed it with running water, washed her face, tied it around her waist, and groped her way down the stream.

In such a pitch black environment, she completely lost the concept of time. She didn't know how long she had been asleep in two coma, and she didn't know how much time had passed since she found the water

She didn't know how long she would have to walk along the current, but she knew that if she followed the current, she would be able to see again.

She walked and stopped, drank a sip of water when she was hungry, sat down when she was tired, took a nap, and kept cheering herself up, slowing down, but never losing faith

Heart.

She didn't know how long it took for her to feel a noticeable turn in the current. She carefully followed the current and made a bend about 100 meters, when the current suddenly disappeared.

Feeling that something was wrong, she groped her way to the broken stream, and reached out with her hand to the front of the empty air, and from below the water disappeared, there was the sound of a larger current. She understood, it was

I came to the edge of a cliff, and the water rushed straight down from the cliff.

Now, she has no way out except to jump off a cliff in danger.

She couldn't estimate the height of the cliff or know what was going on below, but she wasn't willing to give up the only chance. She grabbed a stone and threw it at the spot where the water had disappeared

Go. The stone hit a hard object, and it felt like it bounced a few times, and after another three or four seconds, there was a sound of a stone falling into the water. She calculated that the drop was about 100 meters.

At this height, there is almost no possibility of survival.

She still didn't give up, and continued to grope in front of the broken stream, and soon she was completely desperate, even if she had the heart to jump off the cliff, she couldn't do it - the gap in the broken stream was narrow,

The gap was surrounded by hard stone, and there was no way for her to pass through.

She wanted to cry without tears, and sat still.

What to do? Returning the way you came seems to be the only way out. But she quickly dismissed the idea, she didn't know how long she had been following the water, and she estimated that her strength was no longer enough to support it

She returns to the place where the water was found; Even if she reached the spot where the water was found, she wasn't sure if it would be possible to go back to the higher place where she had fallen, and she didn't know where she had fallen

how high it is; More importantly, she wasn't sure if the person who threw her here would come back to her, and the farther away she was from where she woke up for the first time, the safer she been.

If you can't go back the way you came, you can only sit and wait.

She leaned back and leaned feebly against the wall behind her, a chill coming from the back of her head and neck. She touched it with her hand, and it was damp dirt. Her heart fluttered, quickly

When I got up, I touched the wall with my finger and noticed that about half a meter up from the hard stone on the surface of my feet was a layer of damp earth. The water suddenly stops, and the cliff is in front of you, if you follow the direction of the broken flow

By digging through the dirt layer above, she could continue to escape.

There is no end to the road! She suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, found a stone of moderate size, and used it left and right, smashing it with her right hand and digging it with her left hand. The soil is perennially infiltrated by water from the ground

Soaking, very fluffy, went exceptionally well.

She kept digging and digging with both hands, and the right hand holding the stone grinded out blood blisters. She untied the shirt tied around her waist and rubbed it hard with a stone to turn the shirt into

A few strips of cloth, and then use both hands and mouths, wrap the right hand that grinds blood blisters with cloth strips, draw a scoop according to the gourd, and wrap the left hand as well.

She held the rock in her left hand and continued digging. But she is getting weaker and weaker, and the loss of what little physical strength she has is accelerating. She was already hungry and couldn't stop her surging hunger by drinking water

Hunger, damp dirt further took away her body temperature.

She was so exhausted that she almost fell asleep.

"Hold on, Yao Xiaoyi." She ordered herself not to sleep, and she knew that if she slept again this time, she would never have a chance to wake up again. She forced herself to open her eyes and double her phone

Mechanically digging and digging.

I don't know how long it took, but the stone that smashed into the dirt layer suddenly became light, and the soil collapsed, and a glimmer of light penetrated through the cracks in the collapse!

Finally dug through.

With tears streaming down her face, she pulled open the last thin layer of mud and poked her head out. The morning sun hit her earthy face, and the fragrance of flowers and plants penetrated the tip of her nose. This is the most important in the world

Nice taste.

She looked down, but it was a cliff about 100 meters high. But it's hard for her to become more and more frustrated.

She went back, tore her tattered shirt into strips of cloth, wet them thoroughly, and joined them one by one. She found a protruding rock and tied the end of the strip of cloth to the rock

On the stone, the other end is thrown down the cliff.

She grabbed the strip of cloth with both hands, sliding little by little, completely ignoring the sharp pain from her hands that had already worn out blood blisters. She continued to slide, and she continued to slide, and she was about to slip

At the end of the strip of cloth, there are still dozens of meters from the water below the cliff.

There was nothing to say, she adjusted her breathing, gritted her teeth, let go of her hands, and jumped to the surface......
