ACT 120: The dawn is coming

ACT120: Dawn is approaching and the night is dark, and there is a sound in the cave. The fire was still burning, and the orange light cast figures onto the wall, pulling out all sorts of strange shapes.

The woman held a portable sapper shovel and stepped on a pile of newly dug up soil, sweating like rain; Song Jiu leaned behind the gap, holding the flower chicken and eating it with a mouth full of oil.

The quarrel between the man and the woman ended in the man's complete defeat, Song Jiu felt that the man was about to cry when he left angrily, his body was as burly, but his heart was brittle.

Song Jiu estimated that the man should not have gone far, if he was not carried away by anger, he should have understood that running out unarmed at this time would have killed him.

After all, everyone is starring in disaster horror movies right now, and the kind of romance drama where one side runs and the other chases will not happen out of thin air.

The woman didn't say much, stared at Song Jiu and repeatedly confirmed Doudou's information, and finally mustered up the courage to take out a shovel from her bag and start digging.

Song Jiu was really hungry, and cheekily asked the girl to pass the fat chicken that was still steaming, and the woman's eyes were a little hesitant, but the worry about her companion gradually overshadowed her reason.

The soil inside the cave is hard, not as easy to dig as expected, and the gap is too high for a woman to stand underneath.

Song Jiu gobbled up a pile of bones, rubbed his hands and asked the woman to pass the sapper shovel, probably touched the mountain soil under his feet, spat and began to save himself.

After eating some hot cooked meat, my body gradually warmed up, and my limbs had a little more strength.

The current situation is a little embarrassing, he rushed down from the dark river, there is a very high drop in his memory, it is a little difficult to return the same way, but if you leave the cave directly, who knows where to find the entrance to the cave?

Song Jiu made all his strength to shovel the soil, wondering if he should find a way to get on the road first, if Lin Daochang successfully reported the news, it stands to reason that the rescue force should already be on the road, and it is better to have more people and more strength than to toss alone.

But there is a bit of a problem when you think about it, and the crux of it is...... Red Mom. Many things, Song Jiu and Mengfan can rot in their stomachs, but Hongma will not, she treats those past as talking points and handles, and the heavens are all down, in case she shakes them out in front of Song Yao and others...... Song Jiu couldn't let this happen, and after thinking about it, he decided to take a risk and correct the scourge left by Meng Fan's temporary weakness before the big army arrived.

"Wait a minute! Don't dig it! The woman in the cave suddenly screamed, pointed to the upper place in horror, and stammered, "Stop, stop!" It's going to collapse up there! ”

"What?" Song Jiu was shocked when he heard this, both of them were inside the mountain, what if they were going to collapse?

Hurriedly stopped, dug the gap that had been dug out, tried to drill, and the head could get out, and the shoulder was still stuck.

"What to do? I feel like I'm going to collapse. The woman panicked and instinctively retreated to the entrance of the cave. Song Jiu looked in the direction she pointed, good guy, there are really many fine cracks on the roof of the vaulted cave, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, I always feel that those cracks have a tendency to expand.

"Don't panic." Song Jiu steadied the woman, frowned and thought about it for a while, and said with a plan in his heart, "What tools do you have in your bag?" ”

"Huh?"

"Weapons, clothes, ignition, yes?" Song Jiu was a little anxious, not a psychological effect, the roof of the cave began to fall into the ground, regardless of whether it would collapse, in short, it was definitely not safe.

The dark river behind him was the only route he knew to lead to the cave, and if it was buried here, it would really be a place where the earth and the earth would not work, and Song Jiu decided to give up the detour after weighing it.

"Yes, yes." The woman reacted a few beats slower, and obeyed Song Jiu's instructions to take out a few long-sleeved trousers from her bag, as well as a windproof lighter.

"Throw it on!" Song Jiu dug open the soil accumulated at the mouth of the gap, reached out to catch the clothes, and said, "Take all the things that can be used, and I'll pull you up." ”

"Huh?" The woman was stunned and hesitated.

"Don't, the hole is going to collapse and I don't know how to find it back, hurry up!" Song Jiu probed to look at the top of the cave, and the speed of the sand and soil sliding down was significantly faster, and the cracks as thin as a hair were gradually spreading, extending out at a speed that was recognizable to the naked eye.

The woman swallowed her saliva, said in her heart that death would be death, grabbed two packages and threw them hard. Song Jiu pulled out the strap of his backpack in the air, was anxious and angry, and scolded: "Why did you take all the useful ones and throw them all on!" Can't drag it in! ”

"It's all useful!" The woman calmed down a little, held the package below, and said hurriedly: "There are ropes, searchlights, and many important things!" Song Jiu didn't have time to talk to her more, so he was ruthless in a hurry, picked up the shovel and slashed vigorously, and finally expanded the gap to a width that could accommodate the backpack to come in.

The woman values the backpack more than her own life, Song Jiu means to let her come up first, so it will be too late to save it, the woman stubbornly shook her head, insisting on the grain and grass first.

Song Jiu was helpless, observing the crumbling cave, while speeding up, and used all his strength to pull the backpack up.

'Boom! There was a muffled sound in the semi-enclosed space, and the clods of earth wrapped in rocks peeled off the roof of the cave and slammed into the fire, sparks splashed everywhere, screams arose, and the cave was suddenly darkened.

Song Jiu was startled, and hurriedly shouted, "Hey, are you still alive?" ”

"Live, live." The woman was also scared enough, the boulder fell only a few steps away from her, and it was definitely a puddle of flesh.

"Come up." Song Jiu remembered that she said that there was a searchlight in her backpack, so she hurriedly reached in and groped for a while, pulled out a head-mounted miner's lamp, pressed the switch, and a dim light shot out.

"Pull me along." The woman stepped on the mound and poked her hand up, but the sand behind her was still falling, and more and more huge adobes were peeling off and falling from the cracks, and the smoke and dust were everywhere.

Song Jiu grabbed the woman's hands and pulled her in before she was buried alive, and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the woman made another high-octave dolphin sound.

"What are you screaming about!" Song Jiu wiped his sweat, picked up the miner's lamp and shone it out of the gap, the previous cave was no longer visible, and the collapsed sand and rocks filled the cave in the blink of an eye, with only a smell of earth.

"You, you, you......" The woman spoke incoherently, and when she heard the voice, she was terrified. Song Jiu moved the beam of light, but saw that the woman's dusty face was full of fear, and she was staring at herself in a daze.

Song Jiu looked down, and then his old face turned red, and then he remembered that he was still naked, so he didn't want to scold others anymore, turned around and took out long-sleeved pants from her backpack, and explained while wearing them: "Accident." The woman saw that he was still honest, and her little heart was a little more stable, and she was surprised: "How did you do it, why are you still locked up?" ”

"It's hard to put into words, there's an old pervert in the cave." Song Jiu took off his shirt again when he heard her, handed her the searchlight and let her hold it, and flipped through people's backpacks again.

"What are you doing?" The woman was trapped in a hollow mountain with him at the moment, and there was no way out, so she had to cooperate with Song Jiu as much as possible.

Song Jiu didn't squeak, reached out and touched a hard object, took out a look, and said stunned: "What are you doing?" Tomb robbers? Still with a map? The woman snatched the large coated paper in Song Jiu's hand, glanced at him, and muttered, "This is a sea chart." ”

"It's going to be a lot." Song Jiu laughed dryly, and finally found a Swiss Army knife, pushed off the screwdriver and tinkered around his neck for a while, and removed the dead shackles.

"Do you have a gun?" Song Jiu asked.

"No... No. The woman was a little vigilant, but it was only for a moment, Song Jiu was opposite her, looking at his hideous scars, he was not an honest person, if he really wanted to harm himself, it was estimated that it would only be a matter of minutes.

Song Jiu was busy for a while, took off all the shackles on his hands and feet, put on the machete, fire, and rope, and put on the slightly small hiking boots, and felt a little more steady, looked at the woman in a daze, and asked, "What is your name?" ”

"Yang, Yang Chunyue." When the woman saw that he was dressed neatly, she also hurriedly got up and tied her hair and prepared to go with him.

"My name is Song Jiu, thank you very much." Song Jiu touched his stubble and frowned: "You don't have to go to the road behind, just wait here, if I can't die, I will bring your friends over." ”

"How can you not believe your words!" Yang Chunyue was dumbfounded, I've seen someone cross the river and tear down the bridge, but I've never seen such a shameless person, eating, drinking, wearing and looting, so I'm going to slap my ass and leave?

"I didn't lie to you, your friend is really inside, I'm going to save people, it's very dangerous inside, you can only cause trouble." Song Jiu buckled the head-mounted miner's lamp on his head, narrowed the aperture a little smaller, and said: "The things left for you are enough to call, don't run around, it's a little dark here, but it's safe." ”

"I don't care, you said you were going to take me to my friend." Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang Chunyue hurriedly took out some equipment and hung it on her body, and distanced herself from Song Jiu vigilantly: "I won't hinder you, you tell me where Doudou is." ”

"I'm not kidding you." Song Jiu was a little impatient, so he turned his head and left, and just after taking two steps, the dark space suddenly flashed with firelight, and a bang followed, shaking the entire dark river.

Song Jiu was shocked into a cold sweat, stiffened his neck and turned his face, the miner's lamp shone through, Yang Chunyue maintained the posture of shooting, and his arms trembled a little.

"Don't come here, I still have bullets." Yang Chunyue herself was also shocked by the loud noise, and when she saw that Song Jiu's face had changed, she hurriedly retreated a few steps.

Song Jiu sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, pointed to the pocket pistol in her hand, and said, "Don't point at me, just leave if you want to, I can't take care of you when I go inside, take care of myself." ”

"Deal." …… The stars and moon are low, and the grass is boundless. On the silent and depressed highway, a group of people and horses came striding through the thick fog.

Helplessly, the two fire trucks didn't last long, and dozens of people left with a menace, and the high morale lasted less than two hours before losing to the reality of advancing on foot.

Ming Junwei led the team, and the ghost guys were in charge of exploring the back of the hall, and the roundabout part followed closely, all the bullets were loaded, and they hurried away with the flashlight in front of them.

Ten hours had passed since the accident of the coal pulling team, but the large army was still not a short distance from the finish line, and everyone's faces were solemn, not daring to imagine what would await them.

At this time, Mengfan, who seemed to have collapsed before, calmed down, his eyes were red and swollen, his face was resolute, as a non-combatant, he did not complain of hardship or tiredness, and he never fell behind.

"Eat something." Luo Yu took out a compressed biscuit from his pocket and handed it to her. Meng Fan shook his head slightly, and his long hair fluttered like a waterfall in the night wind.

"Maintain your strength." Luo Yu's tone could not be refused, and he tore open the package and stuffed it into her hand. Mengfan's eyes were a little red, he took a small bite of the dry hard biscuit, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, forgive me for not telling you too much." ”

"It's okay." Luo Yu patted her delicate shoulder and sighed: "Since you and Jiujiu have reached a consensus, naturally you have your reasons, I won't force you, but you have to be sensible, after all, Brother Jiu doesn't know life and death now, and the information you know may be able to make everyone rescue smoothly." ”

"I understand." Meng Fan nodded. Lao Lin and Liu Yan walked behind the two women, and when they heard the words, they glanced at each other, and their eyes were helpless.

"Chief Lin." Song Yao, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke up and raised her hand to signal everyone to stop. Ming Junwei, who was on the side, looked over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Look." Song Yaoxiu frowned slightly, and the flashlight beam shone on the road near the side of the guardrail. Lin Dao Chang ran over, looked around vigilantly, and wondered, "What's the matter?" ”

"You said those weirdos you met had cavalry?" Song Yao asked.

"Aang, horseback rider." Lao Lin nodded firmly and said, "There are more than one or two." Song Yao's face became a little solemn, shook the flashlight aperture, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that their range of activities is not small." Ming Junwei and Lao Lin squinted and looked over, only to see a puddle of steaming animal feces on the asphalt road that was reflected by the aperture of light.
