Chapter 62: Start Again
It was dawn again, and he sat down in front of a large rock at the entrance of the cave and rubbed his shoulders.
In the distance of the narrow canyon, the screams of zombies were heard one after another, very soft, far away, indicating that they were going to hide from the sun's rays.
He stood up, stretched his muscles, threw away the wildflowers he had been playing with all night, and turned back to the cave.
The campfire in the camp was blazing, and Carl was the only one who looked after it, holding a rabbit-sized animal that had been peeled all the way.
The unburned bat wings in the campfire indicate that it is a giant bat.
It was Karl himself who went down there to catch it.
After the life-and-death struggle with the giant salamander-like monster, everyone became even more pessimistic, although everyone didn't say anything, but obviously lost their fighting spirit.
In the two days since, no one has asked to take a look below, not even the Gate of the Dragon, which is not within the scope of discussion.
It seems that everyone is cautious and deliberately avoids this topic.
It's like everyone wants time to stand still.
No risk-taking, no new unknowns.
Only Carl, who had been hanging outside the cave for a long time and could not find food, went down to the gate of the dragons, crouched down to the bats to hunt for food, and caught two of them to feed everyone.
There were still some supplies left, but the others, especially Sun Si, had been without food for a long time.
Sun Si's ghost consumes quickly, and he eats a lot of food, thanks to Carl......
He walked over and sat down by the campfire to warm up.
None of them woke up, the girl...... I didn't wake up either.
He touched his bandaged arm, remembering the day before, Ling Long bandaged himself.
He didn't need her to bandage it, but she insisted on doing it.
"You saved me so many times, I will give you a wound, shouldn't you?" Her smile was reluctant, probably frightened. But those words, you can still hear them, they are sincere.
However, there is nothing wrong with that.
After many days of adventure, if it weren't for himself, how could Ling Long still be alive?
On the day of escaping from the sinkhole, the big cat raided, and he found Ling Long who was lost, and kept up with Carl's pace, otherwise, Ling Long would definitely be left alone, maybe lost in the forest...... When the wild boar raided the camp, it was he who desperately blocked a rampaging wild boar that gave Ling Long a chance to climb the boulder...... At the edge of the underground lake, it was he who pushed Ling Long up to the entrance of the cave for the first time, so that he would not fall below like everyone else and be besieged by monsters......
Why? Why would you do that?
Knowing that he had changed, he tried to stop it, but he failed.
He has resigned himself to his fate and is used to it.
It is customary to protect the smiling little girl as soon as danger arises.
Vashi touched the bandage on his arm in a daze.
After a while, everyone woke up and sat around the campfire, eating the hearty breakfast that Carl had prepared.
Sun Si is getting thinner, which is not a good sign......
It's the third day of idleness, and I don't know how long this situation will last......
The guy named Luo Yang, the last one to get out of the tent, seemed to be seriously injured, every time he came out of the tent, his face was always pale, and he needed Ling Long's support.
"Luo Yang, are you feeling better?" Cangtu asked him.
"Hmm." Luo Yang's face was still very white, but it seemed to be a little fresh.
Eating the slimy bat porridge, he found it a little hard to swallow.
The meat is very rough and smells fishy.
Everyone obviously doesn't like this, but they can only endure it.
"Can you act today?" Cangtu continued to ask.
"Yes." Luo Yang replied.
"Don't be reckless, or don't go, let them go!" Ling Long said nervously.
Luo Yang shook his head, "It's really okay, it's been delayed for so many days, and it can't be delayed any longer." ”
Wang Yiyi said: "This time, the five of us entered together, the situation inside is completely unknown, and this Spirit Gate is obviously different from the previous one......
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Jin: "I'm not going." ”
Everyone was surprised, she was very persistent before, she had to go, why did she suddenly change her mind?
"Anyway, when you come out, you will share information." She put down the canned food box in her hand, looked at Ling Long, and then at Luo Yang, "She's here, you won't come back." ”
Hmph, not necessarily.
Va Yu thought angrily, if Luo Yang really cared about Ling Long so much, how could he put her in danger so many times?
The matter was thus finalized, and after breakfast, the group packed up their equipment and set off.
There are no more explanations, no rhetoric, and no promises.
But everyone knows that they will definitely come back.
It's just that before Lu Xu left, he looked a little nervous, and his face was about to be as pale as Luo Yang.
They brought a lot of charms, leaving a small part of Ling Long and the others.
"The speed of consuming the charm inside the door is very fast, you go back to the previous place, and find some more!" Before leaving, Cangtu instructed Karl.
Cangtu still doesn't talk to Vayi anymore, but these few words seem to be for Vaji.
The four of them silently walked through the Gate of the Dragons and disappeared into the light, as if they had been sucked into the stone.
Ling Long watched them disappear, standing in front of the gate of the dragon for a while, her mood was very bad, she was originally close to Sister Ping and Lu Xu, but now, Sister Ping is no longer there, Lu Xu is also gone, and she is not familiar with the rest of the people.
Hua Yu was thinking about the people who were born, Sun Si's body gradually weakened, Carl looked too fierce, and Su Jin was cold, as if he had bad intentions......
Everyone else silently left the entrance of the cave, only to cut the remains, staying here, waiting for Ling Long to act.
Ling Long stood silently in front of the Gate of the Dragon, not moving.
What is she doing?
Leaving her here by herself might be dangerous......
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to continue to stand silently behind her.
After a while, Ling Long raised his hand, touched his face, and turned around.
She was stunned for a moment when she saw the remnants not far behind her.
Her face was filled with tears, and her eyes were full of despair and fear.
The moment she saw the relics, she was first surprised, and then walked over.
Vaji's heartbeat accelerated, he didn't dodge, watching Ling Long walk towards him step by step, he felt his mind go blank.
Ling Long's long eyelashes were covered with tears, just like in the moonlight that night......
He smelled the mere smell of vanilla on her again......
Ling Long wiped the tears from his face, choked up, but still stubbornly asked, "Why don't you go back?" ”
"Uh...... I ...... "I can't think of a word in my blank mind." "Hmmm......"
Ling Long saw that he couldn't say anything, so he stopped asking him, turned his head, and looked at the door that glowed softly.
She seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, her tears were once again like a flood that burst the embankment, washing down her cheeks, she shrugged her shoulders, her face was sad and afraid, she cried and said, "They, will they come back?" ”
Seeing Ling Long so painful and sad, his heart was like a knife, and he became sad inexplicably.
He nodded, and then reacted that Ling Long didn't look at him, so he cleared his throat and said, "Hmm." Yes. ”
Ling Long gasped for breath and took a few deep breaths, gradually calming down.
She turned around, smiled reluctantly at the remnants, and headed back to camp.
Looking at her helpless figure, Va Yi suddenly had an impulse to drag her into his arms and tell her: "Don't be afraid, there is still me." ”
But he didn't, and once again, he was frightened by his own thoughts.
He shook his head, glanced at the Gate of the Dragon, and turned to follow Ling Long.
