Chapter 43: The Call of the Underworld
Chu Ge only felt that the sky was spinning, time seemed to be slowed down ten times, and steel bars, concrete, gravel, and the decoration and furniture in the building were all flying in front of him.
The speed of neural reactions is delayed by a hundredfold, as if falling into an endless swamp, and you can only watch yourself be submerged inch by inch, until finally, it is dark.
The darkness is extremely short, and it seems to have passed through eternity, enough to suck up the darkness of a person's life.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself with his head down and his feet facing the sky.
Wait, it's not him, it's the impact grinder, down the huge gap, into the depths of the building, and also turned over one hundred and eighty degrees, stuck between the ruins and broken walls.
Seen through the shattered windows, the criss-crossing steel bars, steel beams, and prefabricated floor slabs above are broken into fingernail-sized fragments of the faint glimmer of dust that penetrates through the dust, and the surrounding area is dark and invisible, filled with sharp construction debris.
"Rustling ......"
Both in the car and in the communication channels embedded in the combat suit, there was noise, and darkness cut him off from the outside world.
There was sticky blood between his mouth and nose, his hands could still move, but there was a sharp pain in his left ankle.
Thankfully, he's still alive.
The cockpit was quite sturdy, he was also wearing a seat belt, and the flaming combat suit had a certain cushioning protection to survive such a severe collapse.
It's better to die than to live, and it's good to live.
How long can you live, though?
In the dark, Chu Ge showed his snow-white teeth, first like a little ghost, laughing silently, laughing and laughing, and then turning into a faint sob.
He regretted it.
He's ...... Afraid.
"What the are you a hero, obviously not a professional rescuer, you want to slap a swollen face and become fat, you want to be in the limelight, and harvest what the hell shock value, now it's okay, it's shocking enough, the feces and urine are about to shake out!
"What's going on in your head? When an amateur rookie first went into battle, he became a blockbuster and won the cheers of the crowd and the favor of beautiful citizens? How can it be!
"Thinking about what a few hours ago was so relaxed and happy on the bus, and now it's like this, who is to blame? Blame yourself for forgetting the old saying, pretending to be that, being struck by lightning! ”
Chu Ge kept talking to himself, using this way to relieve his fear, but it was useless, the more he talked, the more he wanted to cry, and in the end, he really cried.
"Mom...... Help me...... I don't want to die......"
He curled up in a ball, gritting his teeth and panting.
Thinking of his mother's last moments, lying on the hospital bed, thin as a cat, but still holding his hand, asking him to take good care of himself, Chu Ge's heart twitched again.
Mom has a spirit in the sky, seeing him in such an embarrassed appearance, it must be more sad and heartbroken than him, right?
No......
"I can't die.
"I promised my mother that I wanted to get ahead, I wanted to be beautiful, I wanted to buy an old house back home, and I also wanted to buy a big villa facing the sea and blooming in spring, so that everyone would know how amazing Chu Yi's son is!
"There's still a lot I haven't done - I haven't mastered the biggest steel behemoth on the planet, I haven't put on the most powerful power armor and have a blast with immortal cultivators, I haven't surprised the whole world!
"I haven't been to the highest mountain and the deepest sea on this planet, I haven't seen the infinite scenery of the Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Illusion Realm, I haven't seen the future and the future of the future, what a wonderful appearance it is!
"I, I won't die, Mom, I promised you that I would take good care of myself, I, I will, you can rest assured, rest assured."
Extreme fear squeezed out the remaining courage in Chu Ge's heart, his face was hideous, staring at the glimmer outside, "I want to live!" ”
Chu Ge seemed to be back in the game and was chased by the immortal cultivators, dying more than a thousand times, and finally dying and dying couldn't die in the glorious years.
It's like facing the green-robed weirdo that day, under the shadow of death, squeezing out every brain cell, thinking about the possibility of survival.
There are 153 shock energy left.
He didn't hesitate to put a hundred of them into his head.
The golden dots of light danced happily in the ravines of the brain, nourishing the brain cells, although they could not instantly improve his "wisdom", but it was enough to calm him down, so that the central nervous system could properly secrete various hormones, improve physical fitness, and relieve pain.
The good news was that he had only sunk down a story or two, and the ruins that covered him were not completely sealed, and as long as he squeezed through some narrow areas, many corridors and rooms could still be walked around, no, crawling.
This is also the style of most buildings in the Calamity Era, which adopts a separate structure similar to a "watertight cabin", and even if it partially collapses, it will not affect the whole.
The bad news is that the ground is still shaking slightly, the smell of burning can be heard in the distance, and the sound of metal fatigue can be faintly heard "babbling", which indicates that something is burning in the depths of the ruins, and that the fire may soon spread here, and it is not ruled out that it will continue to fall.
Chu Ge thought of the strange black flame again, as if it had life, baring its teeth and claws, devouring the flesh and soul of human beings - was that the culprit?
Chu Ge forced himself to put this problem behind him, checked the console, and found that the impact crusher was completely paralyzed.
There was no time to be discouraged, he pulled out a toolbox from under the driver's seat, looked around, licked the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, cleaned the broken glass ballast from the rear window, dragged his swollen left leg, and climbed out - the gap in the rear was the largest, large enough for an adult to walk through, and there was a faint orange glow, like a flash of "Cancer Power Armor".
If only it were really a rescuer, Chu Ge silently prayed for the blessing of God and his mother.
As a result, half and half, among God and Mom, one must have blessed him, but the other did not.
It is indeed a rescuer, wearing a cancer power armor, but not wearing a helmet, falling into a coma, and unable to protect himself.
There is no road ahead, and even children cannot penetrate the gaps between the rubble, so they must be violently demolished.
Chu Ge looked at the unconscious rescuer, found that it was very familiar, and thought about it, that's right, it was the buddy who questioned him at the beginning, and then knelt on the ground and vomited.
It seems that after this guy vomited, he was still uncomfortable, Lei Sancang said to rest, he squatted down without a helmet to breathe fresh air, but encountered a secondary landslide, his head did not have enough protection, and he was knocked unconscious.
This is still lucky, such a powerful landslide, without wearing a helmet, and having a flat head has no place to reason - so, illegal operations are unacceptable, you have to wear a helmet when entering the construction site, and you are a famous college student!
Chu Ge sighed, after all, he had just worked together to rescue many survivors, and they were all fallen people at this time, so what did he care.
Dipping his fingers in a little saliva, he probed his nose, and found that although this buddy's breathing was weak, it was not too disordered, and his cervical spine didn't seem to be twisted, Chu Ge was a little relieved, and wanted to move him to the cockpit of the impact crusher, so that he was protected by a layer of iron shell.
But this guy is wearing heavy power armor, even if the combat suit has a certain charging function, Chu Ge can't move it.
Fortunately, he has practiced, and it is not a matter of two pieces to pick up power armor in the game, and the "Cancer" in reality also has a put on and take off button set on the outside to facilitate the rescue of the wounded.
Chu Ge found the oval cover plate set under the breastplate, first pressed it lightly, then hooked and mentioned, and finally pulled it out heavily, only to hear the sound of "boom-", dozens of white air currents erupted from inside the power armor, blooming like crab claw chrysanthemum, exposing the unconscious pilot.
Chu Ge wasted the strength to breastfeed, so he moved this buddy back into the cockpit and fixed it with a seat belt.
Fortunately, this guy is also wearing a flame combat suit, and he has his own sedative, medical, and nutritional medicines, which can be managed for a while, otherwise Chu Ge would not know how to save him.
Although it is safe for the time being, it is not a problem for the two of them to curl up in the small cockpit and wait for death, and it would be bad if the building completely collapses, or if it continues to fall.
"The fire in the factory area is more serious than here, and if the rescue can't be caught up for a while, you must find a way to save yourself.
"The black flame must be quirky and won't leave me much time, I have to climb up to it and make a way out!
"But it is blocked off by reinforced concrete on all sides, and there are no strong enough demolition tools, how can you escape from this confined space?
"The impact crusher is finished, there is only a small toolbox in the car, with a wrench and a screwdriver, it is impossible to open such a hard ruin, I have to find a stronger machine, a stronger ......"
Chu Ge stopped talking.
Brain buzzing, hearing the call from the underworld.
His gaze fell back on the direction of the orange-red light coming from behind the car.
That's - bloom to your heart's content, waiting for the power armor of the new owner!
