Chapter 30: I'm not afraid
In order to improve efficiency, Shen Dali and I split up and started around the lake with our current location as a starting point.
The surface of the lake is calm, and the dry bones are desolate.
Looking at the tragic situation of these seniors in the same industry who died without a place to be buried, my mood was very depressed.
The business of robbing tombs is to step on two coffins, one is someone else's and the other is your own. If you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game.
Spending money like land is infinite scenery, and a tragic death and infamy are the outcome of life that can be faced at any time.
According to superstition, tomb robbery will also damage yin virtue and harm future generations.
I don't know if it was right to enter this industry in the first place, and I can't consider whether it's worth it or not, I just want me and the people around me to have a better life, is this really wrong?
I walked on the lakeside, anxiously looking for Liu Fatzi, but all I saw were dry bones all over the ground, and my scalp was numb and goosebumps all over my body.
Suddenly, I noticed something unusual, coming from the otherwise calm surface of the lake next to me.
There were ripples on the surface of the lake, as if the wind was blowing.
However, in such a place, there can be no wind at all.
There are only two possibilities for such a situation, that is, something has fallen into the lake, or something is about to wash out of the lake.
I was taken aback by this inference of my own, and asked Shen Dali in the distance loudly: "Dali, did you step on the lake?" ”
Shen Dali replied suspiciously: "No, what's wrong?" ”
Could it be that the man in black made the move? But he's not around here anymore.
I was secretly speculating when I suddenly noticed that the ripples became more and more intense, turning into waves, crashing on the shore and causing splashes.
"Holy!"
I exclaimed, and hurriedly retreated, hiding far away, for fear of getting into the lake.
Although only drinking water contaminated with nematodes can cause infection, the nematodes here are significantly stronger, and I don't want to try anything.
At this moment, I heard the sound of "coo-dong-coo", although it was not loud, but it was very clear in the empty and silent hall.
Shocked, I moved the beam of the flashlight to the middle of the lake, and was stunned.
In the middle of the lake, bubbles are popping up, as if the waters are boiling.
I realized that something was really coming out, and hurriedly shouted: "Shen Dali, run!" ”
As the voice fell, I saw a pointy monster the thickness of an arm poking its head out of the bubble, its body writhing like a dancing python.
"Holy, such a big wireworm!"
Shen Dali exclaimed, turned around and ran back.
I also reacted immediately and ran towards the starting point agreed between me and Shen Dali.
Nearby, there was the hole where we came in, and it was the safest place for us to go at the moment.
The huge nematode stood in the middle of the lake, and after writhing for a while, it seemed to sense me and Shen Dali, and swam towards us at a very fast speed.
By the time Shen Dali and I reached the hole marked with the word "five" and the arrow, the giant nematode had already landed, and it was only a short distance away from us, and I could even clearly see the folds on its skin and the slightly protruding dots.
Although Shen Dali and I had already reached the entrance of the cave, I was sure that with the speed of this giant wire worm, Shen Dali and I would not be able to escape at all.
"Shen Dali, seek wealth and danger, survive to the death, copy the guy and fight with it."
As I spoke, I reached into my backpack and fumbled for a while, but I couldn't find anything suitable to use as a self-defense weapon.
Shen Dali handed over a dagger and said to me, "Fifth brother, this is what you dropped when you went out last time. ”
After I took the dagger, he took out the shovel head of the Luoyang shovel and a few iron pipes from his bag, quickly assembled them, and used them as weapons in front of him.
We're on full alert, just waiting for that disgusting wireworm to come over and play with it.
To my surprise, the giant wireworm writhed on the ground for a while, and instead of coming to our side, it found the one that had been caught by the man in black.
The baby nematode is still churning, but the range of movement is very small, as if it is not far from death.
The sudden arrival of the giant nematode made the little nematode excited, and it quickly wrapped around the giant nematode's body.
After that, the giant nematode actually took Shen Dali and me as air, twisted their bodies, and returned to the lake.
I don't know if it's my delusion, it seems to be deliberately avoiding me and Shen Dali.
Its huge body slapped into the lake water, making a "whoosh" sound, and it sank into the lake in a short time.
I watched this scene in a daze, feeling inexplicable.
Shen Dali looked at the lake that was still shaking, looked at me again, and asked in a low voice, "Fifth brother, will this thing also protect cubs?" ”
I wanted to say it was impossible, but what just happened was so real that I couldn't deny it.
Shen Dali sat on the ground, put the Luoyang shovel next to him, panting, and it seemed that he was not lightly stimulated this time.
"Shen Dali, we've experienced a lot of winds and waves, right?"
Shen Dali was stunned by my question, and asked me suspiciously: "Fifth brother, why are you suddenly asking this?" ”
"I want to ask you, have we ever been afraid?"
Shen Dali listened to my words, jumped up like a chicken blood, picked up the Luoyang shovel and said loudly: "Of course I'm not afraid!" ”
I shook my head and said, "Dali, actually, to be honest, I was scared. Every time I fight, I'm afraid that I have the ability to take you in, but I don't have the ability to take you out. ”
Shen Dali was silent for a while, and asked me, "Fifth brother, what do you want to say?" I'm a rough man, straight gut, just say whatever you want. ”
I bowed my head and spoke for a long time before I said to Shen Dali: "You can take care of Zhao Ye and Yang Qing for me." I brought Fat Liu in, so it's up to me to find him and take him out......"
Shen Dali interrupted me and said angrily: "Fifth brother, no matter how bad my Shen Dali is, it is definitely not a burden. I know you didn't plan to bring me here at all, but if I do, I won't go out alone. ”
I saw that he was so resolute, and I also got angry and asked him: "If something happens to you, what will your parents do?" Who gives them pensions? Do you bear to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person? ”
What I didn't expect was that Shen Dali replied almost without thinking: "I have explained to Yang Xiaomei, if I can't go back this time, my parents will be her parents." ”
I was silent for a long time, not knowing what to say, because I had already felt Shen Dali's resoluteness, and knew that with his character, anything I said would not be useful.
Shaking my head slightly, I smiled bitterly and said no more.
I was about to change the subject and improve the current oppressive atmosphere, when suddenly I heard the sound of "whooshing" water again.
Shen Dali and I both trembled, turned our heads to look at the lake, and were all stunned.
The water was churning, and between the spray and the foam, countless giant nematodes emerged, like angry pythons, intertwined and writhed with each other, and then came ashore one after another.
