I don't know how long I ran, if Liu Dongshi hadn't pulled me, I would have hit the stone wall.

We had almost reached the end of the run, and there were no exits around, only empty stone walls.

It doesn't seem to be a simple protrusion in the middle of a cavern, as we thought, but a dead end all the way up, and the fire behind it spreads slowly and beeps incessantly. The brass pipes that stood like flags fell one after another, and the ancient beasts that had been imprisoned for an unknown number of years were released one by one, and then they were consumed by the flames, and I seemed to be able to hear the screams and see the strange souls flying above the firelight.

I felt hotter and hotter, sweating like rain, and the scorching air around me exacerbated the degree of oxygen deprivation, and Liu Dongxi was also embarrassed. We looked at the tall and smooth stone wall in front of us, and our hearts were extremely desperate. I had thought about how my life would end, and I had countless fantasies that were heavier than Tarzan or lighter than a feather, but never that I would run like a dog in such a place full of skeletons, and then be roasted into a specimen by the fire.

In this very short period of time, I have thought about a lot of things. The exhaustion of my body was as heavy as death, and I even thought of sitting down and resting, and living with this ancient history was also a very happy ending.

But I resisted the temptation. I think that people in this extreme situation will be stimulated to amazing potential, which may be manifested in physical strength or perseverance, which is different from the stress ability stimulated by the survival instinct of a dog jumping over the wall, and more expresses other levels of need so that people are called human.

I took a few breaths and said to Liu Dongxi: "We can't wait for death here, let's look along the wall, maybe there will be an exit!" ”

Veterans like Liu Dongxi naturally wouldn't sit back, nodded and pointed in a direction and left. At this time, the strange smell in the air is even stronger, mixed with thick smoke, and it appears more viscous.

I greeted him, and saw that he waved his hand, then tore off a piece of cloth and covered his nose, and searched in the opposite direction, there was not much time, and we had to be suffocated to death before the fire burned, and we had to be more efficient.

Visibility was getting lower and lower, and I staggered along the base of the wall, smashing through the solid air, my eyes wide as I tried to discern the anomalies in the rock wall, hoping to find an exit.

Just as I had almost given up looking, a man-wide crevasse suddenly appeared in front of me, as if it had been passed from another dimension.

I was refreshed and hurriedly ran over, the edge of this rock crevice was not very smooth, it should have been formed by geological changes, and a cool breeze blew inside, which attracted my footsteps very much. I went in and looked in, unfathomable and unfathomable, not knowing where it leads.

Survival in a desperate situation has given my body strength again, and although this rock crevice is also unpredictable, at least there is a glimmer of hope in it, which is better than turning into a roast duck now. I was about to walk in, but suddenly I remembered that I had forgotten about Liu.

I blamed myself in my heart, and I was going to find Liu when I got out of the hole, only to find out that the situation was not good!

Before I knew it, I had run to this side very close to the fire, and at this moment, the line of fire was more than ten meters away from this rock crevice.

Although the fire spreads very slowly, when I find Liu and come back, I am afraid that this rock crack will have been buried in the sea of fire.

My mind raced, calculating the approximate time it would take. Before, we were searching against the rock wall, almost in a circle, and I still had to look for him the same way, but when we came back, we could take a shortcut between the bones, and if everything went well, we should be able to get Liu back before the fire spreads.

It's very risky, and if we deviate at all, we'll be hanging in this cave. I can only hope for two points, the first is that everything is going well, and my calculations will not go wrong, and the second is that Liu Dongxi's side can find a better exit.

I don't know why I made such a risky decision, perhaps based on the duties of a police officer, or perhaps based on one's morality. I can't bear to throw Liu stuff into this sea of fire by myself, if I really do it, I will definitely die on the way with these things

The return journey was more urgent, and this kind of purposeful run was very different from the previous hopeless search. I shouted Liu Dongxi's name loudly as I ran. After a few shouts, I was blocked by the smoke, and my entire mouth and lungs felt as if they were about to crack from the inside, and the visibility around me was getting lower and lower, and the sound of burning bones filled my ears.

Liu didn't know where he had gone, and he didn't see his shadow after running for almost half of the run. I'm starting to wonder if I've missed it.

A feeling of utter frustration and despair came over him, but his feet did not slow down. I suddenly remembered that there might still be some electricity in the police pass, and the alarm function was just working, so I quickly took it out and turned it on. A voice as sharp as a copycat machine rang out violently, and even I was startled.

Just after a few sounds, a figure jumped out of the smoke and hugged me, I was startled, and subconsciously punched and hit, but was dodged, only to hear a hoarse voice, "Brother An, it's me!" ”

I fixed my eyes and saw who this was not Liu Dongxi? It turned out that Liu Dongxi also found a crack on the other side, and the fire had burned to the edge of the crack at that time. Liu Dongxi could have escaped while the fire was not burning until he entered the crack, but Liu Dongxi took into account the righteousness of the rivers and lakes and was unwilling to leave me alone to escape, so he let the flames swallow the hole and turned around to find me.

To be honest, I was very moved, I felt tears rolling in my eyes under this baking, and all the previous suspicions disappeared in an instant, I didn't know how to express or get rid of this emotion, so I had to kick him in the ass and scolded: "You will be good, hurry up and run, I have another one over there, it's too late to run fast!" ”

Liu Shixi smiled, turned his head and ran, I followed behind him, and my heart was full of emotion. I don't know what to say about his somewhat stupid behavior, the righteousness of the rivers and lakes is just rhetoric, I don't believe that a person like him, who has worked hard in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, would believe this kind of thing, he must know what the consequences of doing this will be, when he gave up the chance to live and came back to me, he also chose to die with me!

I really can't remember who saved whom from this adventure so far, and whether there is such a thing as repaying the favor, but at that moment, his family and the identities of each person are no longer important, it seems that there is only this sincere choice and the most primitive reward.
