There was a dead silence around me, so quiet that I could hear my own breathing very clearly.

I was lying in the center of the passage, some distance from the walls on either side.

The amount of food and medicine placed in front of me was about two people's servings, and it was clear that Yiyi was continuing her steps with the determination to die.

I tried to get up, but as soon as I moved, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head, and a feeling of dizziness came back to my eyes.

I smiled helplessly and said in my heart:

"This little girl looks soft and weak, and she is really ruthless!"

I was in this state of vertigo for a long time before I could barely get up.

The situation in front of me is the biggest problem I have encountered in the past 20 years or so.

Now, the fat man and the scorpion who were "swallowed" by the wall are uncertain about their life and death, and they are still persistent and persistent to die.

In this more than an hour, I think Yiyi should have come a long way.

As a man, I felt a sense of shame at the moment. I could accept the fat man and the scorpion taking me as a key object of protection, but I never dreamed that one day I would be protected by a weak girl. Of course, judging from this kind of thing, Yiyi just feels weak, her temperament, her bones, and even her every move are strong, and even this characteristic is more prominent than me.

I briefly sorted out the things in front of me, and in the pile of medicines, I saw the notebook that Yiyi left for me, on which a paragraph was written in Juanxiu's font:

Su Mo, thank you for letting me know you. I'll go down the rest of the journey for you, and if nothing else, we'll meet at Lop Nur. Don't go any further, we can't wipe it out, and you'll be left to find the rescuers.

Originally, when I didn't see this line, my attitude was firm.

I thought that after I finished sorting out the food and medicine in front of me, I would catch up with Yiyi, and no matter what, I couldn't let a girl do the rest of the road for us.

No matter what big secrets await us on the road ahead, without the fat man and the scorpion, I am the only one who can stand side by side with Yiyi!

However, when I saw the words she had left, my indecisive shortcomings began to be exposed again.

Sometimes, I really hate this kind of character of myself, helpless, and it is difficult to change this shortcoming in a short period of time.

Now how I want the fat man to be by my side, come and kick me, and then shout at me: "Xiao Su, what the hell are you stunned, go and chase Yiyi!" You can't bear to let my sister get into danger by herself! ”

But the reality is that if I follow Yiyi's footsteps and continue to move forward, I may not only not find Yiyi, but also have no hope of rescuing the fat man and the scorpion.

Just as I was struggling with what to do next, my vision began to blur, and the outlines around me slowly became less clear.

This is the result of my headlamp battery reaching its limit, and more than five hours have passed since we entered Shimen.

The battery of the headlamp is generally used as a charging power source with a lithium battery, which can be used for four hours is considered to be of good quality, and it took so long to start to become insufficient, indicating that the expedition team belonging to the "Europa" company that disappeared after we came here before is really good.

Soon, the light above me was dimming at a speed that I could see with my naked eye, and the scene in front of me was also gradually dimming.

At the point where the headlights went out completely, I felt the extreme insecurity of the unprecedented darkness.

As I thought before, this is a black in the pure sense of the word, a few degrees higher than the blackness of the outside world.

It was as if I was in a void in which my sight was completely useless, except for hearing, smell, and touch.

It was an extremely oppressive feeling, and I suddenly understood the world of the blind, because when my vision became weaker, my other senses were really stronger than before!

I could even hear the sound of crustaceous insects crawling over the stone walls of the passage above my head, and the subtle sound of their wings. I don't know if this is a hallucination of mine, maybe in this extreme darkness, people will unconsciously hallucinate.

I gently stretched out my foot, trying to determine the location of the gear package in front of me.

At this moment, I began to rejoice that before we entered the stone gate, I specially prepared a few more flashlights.

Now should be the time for them to make a difference.

After determining the position of my own backpack, I did not remove my feet that were touching the backpack, but leaned down and touched the parcel with my hands.

If I hadn't, I would have been unable to find the place of my backpack again in the darkness the moment I moved my legs.

From memory, I unzipped my backpack. After a while, I finally found a strong flashlight.

This kind of flashlight is what I have been exposed to the most recently. Whether it's on the Ghost Cub Ridge or in the dungeon, this thing has been used by me as one of the weapons for self-defense, and it has always been a very useful weapon. Presumably, the fat man has the most say in the power of this weapon of mine.

The thought of the fat man tingled in my heart, and I wondered if he and the scorpion would be able to hold on after all this time. Perhaps, by the time they sank into the wall, they were already dead.

I took a deep breath before turning on the flashlight, trying to calm my emotions.

Now my mind is very confused, especially after thinking about the situation of the fat man and the scorpion, this emotion almost exploded to the verge of collapse.

If it weren't for the timely appearance of Yiyi's image that pulled me back from the brink of collapse, I think I would have entered another state.

When I turned on the flashlight, the world around me became bright again, and at the same time, my senses of touch, smell, and hearing slowly "degenerated" to their original appearance, returning the stronger part to my vision.

This process of recovery is carried out little by little, and the sudden entry from absolute darkness into such intense light that the human eye will experience a brief period of blindness.

After a stinging pain in my eyes, I had to close my eyes quickly, thinking that if I didn't close my eyes in time, the glow of the flashlight would definitely damage my vision.

There was still silence in front of and behind me, and such silence would be refreshing if it were in the outside world.

However, the environment creates human emotions, and in the environment I am currently in, I am surrounded by raised stone walls on both sides. The top of my head was a cave that I couldn't reach, and I wouldn't even notice a snake passing over it.

Behind me is the passage we have walked through for hours, the same, palpitating passage.

There is still such a passage in front of me, and I don't know if the end leads to the Netherworld Cave or to death.

While Yiyi and the fat man were still there, I was the last of the four, although there was a dead silence behind me, only our headlamps lit up in front of us. But at that time, I didn't feel like my sweat hair was standing up, even if there was a similar wind blowing behind me, I didn't feel too much.

And now, I was the only one left here, and I suddenly felt that there were countless pairs of eyes watching me in the depths of darkness without light behind me, and this feeling became especially strong when I turned my back to the darkness.

I don't know how to overcome it in this same environment. Moreover, it was the first time she had come to such a place, and she had experienced so many strange things before she went on alone.

"Now she must be longing for someone to be by her side, even if it's just to talk."

I thought.

Actually, that's what I'm hoping for right now.

This series of thoughts of mine was in the short period of time when I closed my eyes and regained my vision.

In fact, it didn't take long until my headlamp ran out of power until I pulled the flashlight out of my backpack and then I turned on the flashlight and closed my eyes. It's only about five or six minutes.

I opened my eyes only after I felt that my eyes were no longer stinging.

The scene in front of me gradually became clearer, still the same as before the headlights went out, and this scene has not changed since entering the stone gate.

If there is any difference, it is that there is no fat body in front of me to open the way, there is no scorpion's vigilant eagle eye that does not let go of every corner of the inspection, and there is no snuggling in front of me, giving me a fresh and comfortable feeling, so that even if I am physically and mentally exhausted, I will become relaxed because of her presence.

The shape of the passage is still straight, not even a bend, straight into the depths of the earth, if the downward slope is larger, I think we may fall straight into the depths of the earth.

Even though the light of my flashlight can reach a distance of several hundred meters, the end of the light is no longer a place where I can see from my eyesight.

At this moment, I remembered the word "mandala" that the fat man had said, and his abrupt description afterwards: "This kind of place exists to summon Yin soldiers." "The passage goes straight down, as if there is no end to the shape of the underground, it really seems to lead to the "Netherworld", perhaps at the end of the passage, there is a "Yin Soldier" underworld. What we are walking on is the legendary Huangquan Road!

As soon as this thought came to mind, my scalp started to go numb again. I began to worry about Yiyi's condition.

In the midst of my series of thoughts, I suddenly heard a hiss in my ears that I remember very well!

It was the lure of this hissing sound that made me in my current situation, and I hate this sound to the core!

This voice is the voice of Ah Jin, who has disappeared for a long time!
