112. The aftermath of the catastrophe

Sheng Shiyao's worries were correct, if that village was more than ten or twenty years old, then maybe there were still available resources, all of which were nearly a thousand years old, and even if there was food, it would be turned into stone. And the water source of this place is not to mention, if you eat it, you will die, so even if we go the right route, it is not worth rejoicing, everything is possible until we really get out of this place.

Back in the cave, we are back in the darkness, and we are exploring the way by the light of the flashlight. Fortunately, there was no other fork in the cave, only one road forward, and I don't remember how long I walked later, but I remember that everyone became more and more silent, and then no one was willing to say a word, because the physical strength was constantly being consumed, and there was no strength to speak.

After drinking the last drop of water, we officially entered the countdown to life, and our feet sank like a boulder tied to a thousand gold, but no one stopped. Because everyone knows that once it stops, it means death.

I only remember that when my consciousness was foggy, it was the back in front of me that always gave everyone the unyielding belief that the darkness still came, and the moment I closed my eyes, I was so tired that I didn't even have the last trace of thought.

What is dripping on my face, cool, wet, am I already dead? When you open your eyes, it's pitch black, this is the world after you die? Something dripped into my mouth, and I was almost like a withered flower meeting nectar, sucking the liquid hard, and the faint taste was like rain. Could it be that it will rain in this world too?

Rain?! Wait, no, I'm sentient, how can a person still be sane after death? Unexpectedly, a voice came out of my heart: You have never died, how can you know that people are unconscious after death? I ignored the sound and chose to concentrate, and when I felt the sensation of droplets on my face again, I judged that I wasn't dead, but I didn't know why it was still pitch black in front of me.

Are we not out of the cave yet? But where does this rain come from? The caves are all solid, and even if it rains outside, it won't be able to drop inside. That's when we got out of the cave, and then it's night? It's also a little too dark, it's like...... It's as if something is blocking you.

Right! Blocked! Immediately after I focused, I felt something covering my eyes, which looked like cloth to the touch, and I couldn't get any more information, so I could only lie still and open my mouth as much as I could, letting the rain drip into my mouth to moisten my chapped lips and throat. Gradually, more consciousness returned to my body, my fingers could be bent, and then slowly I could lift them, and after many attempts, my left hand finally touched the position of my eye, which was indeed a piece of cloth, and the material could not be felt.

I wondered why I had to put a cloth over my eyes, which was not tied to my head, but was just lightly pressed against my eyes. It only takes a little force to tear it off, but because of this, I didn't recklessly leave and uncover the strip of cloth, but lifted it little by little, and soon the blinding light came in, and I instinctively closed my eyes. It only took a second, and I felt that my eyes were stinging, and I understood the purpose of the person who pressed my eyes with a cloth for me.

It's Sheng Shiyao, right? I guessed warmly in my heart. But where is he? If he was by his side, he would have come to check on me when he woke up, but from the moment he woke up to this moment, I couldn't hear a single movement in my ears. Tell myself not to think badly, all I can do at the moment is to let my eyes slowly adjust to the light, and my heart says that at least now I am out of the dark cave.

After half an hour, my eyes finally fully adjusted to the light and I lifted the strip of cloth. The first thing that caught my eye was the endless sky, which was overcast, and large raindrops fell on me, only to realize that I was lying in the weeds more than a person high. Turning his head stiffly, he immediately saw Liu Yue, who was lying next to me, and then Zhou Tong and Liuzi, each of whom had a thick black cloth covering their faces.

No need to think about it, it must be Sheng Shiyao! But where is he? How can I not see him?

After seeing the heaving of the three of them' chests, I was not in a hurry to wake them up, I sat up and searched the surroundings, and soon found a hole twenty or thirty meters away from us. The surrounding grass grows particularly luxuriantly, and it is difficult to spot it if it is not for the signs of being crushed. I struggled to climb the mouth of the cave, and found that there was a lot of gravel on the side, and it seemed that the cave was sealed, and then covered with grass to achieve its concealment.

The terrain looks like a hillside, but the grass is so high that I don't stand up and can't see the panorama. The rain became heavier and heavier, and my body was soon wet, but for me, who had been short of water for too long, this kind of rain shower was very pleasant. If it hadn't been for this rain, perhaps even if we had made it out of the cave alive, we would have died in a coma.

God was merciful after all, and didn't kill us all!

When I regained some strength, I stood up trembling and saw where I was standing beneath me. It is indeed a hillside, and it is still a large mountain, and when you look out at the past, the foot of the mountain is many distances away. The mountains are full of this kind of long grass beside them, and occasionally a few trees that may be wild, such a place that can belong to the wasteland, it is impossible to be inhabited.

"Uh-huh......" A soft groan came from Liu Yue's side, I turned my head to look, and found that not only Liu Yue, but also Zhou Tong and Liuzi were waking up one after another, their lips were moving unconsciously, it was the instinctive human desire for water that made them wake up. I cleared my throat and noticed that I could make a sound, no matter how hoarse and unpleasant it was, so I said, "Don't be in a hurry to remove the strip of cloth from your eyes, and take it off when the light is used to it. ”

I didn't tell them about Sheng Shiyao, from waking up to having the strength to uncover the cloth, to getting his eyes used to the light, it would take at least half an hour, for fear that if they knew that Sheng Shiyao was missing, someone would force himself up to look for him despite his eye injury.

Without further ado, after making sure that they heard me, I took my coat from my baggage and put it on my body, and began to look for a way down the mountain. Actually, I didn't have to look for it, because I found a trace of grass being crushed and winding down the hillside. It should be the traces of Sheng Shiyao's walking, and after he took simple protective measures for us, he went down the mountain alone.

Without hesitation, I walked down the hill, but the trembling of my feet and the difficulty of the trail made me walk very slowly, and several times I fell into the grass and got up in pain. When he gritted his teeth and was about to reach the foot of the mountain, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a person lying in the grass in front of him, his heart suddenly tightened, and he staggered over, and it was Sheng Shiyao! He fainted at the foot of the mountain!

I leaned over him and sniffed, but it was extremely faint. The rain drenched his face and hair, and the bangs on his forehead covered his right eye, and I brushed the wet hair away and met him on the forehead, which burned unbelievably. As early as in the cave, he was actually extremely weak due to his injuries, but after that, he calmly led us to find a way out.

Judging from the fact that everyone was lying outside the cave, and he was the only one who fainted, it should have been in that cave, and several of us passed out one after another, and it was he who dragged people out of the cave one by one, and then went down the mountain to find a water source to save us. I didn't think that I couldn't walk to the bottom of the mountain, so I fainted here, if it wasn't for the timely arrival of this rain, then we ......

I didn't think about it anymore, the most important thing now was to save him, and I had to go to the hospital immediately. looked up at the hillside, then at the foot of the mountain, gritted his teeth, no matter, save Sheng Shiyao first. Liu Yue and the three of them have already woken up, and they will soon be able to walk down the mountain by themselves. Just now I squinted through the rain, a hundred meters past the foot of the mountain, there seems to be a road, if you are lucky, stop a passing car, then you can be saved.

But it turns out that it is easier to think than to do, just to carry Sheng Shiyao on my back in front of me, I tried many times without success, and finally dragged him forward, falling down several meters before stopping. Obviously, with my hands inflexible and my legs trembling and weak, I can't carry him at all. I had no choice but to take off my coat, pass it under his armpits, put my hat on his head to protect his head, and cut the two sleeves with my Shadow Moon Knife, make a longer rope and tie it around my waist, and then began to drag it down the hill a little bit.

The process was very difficult, but he still relied on the strength of his body's center of gravity to drag Sheng Shiyao down the hill and to the intersection. The road is a gravel road more than two meters wide, and it is already potholed under the heavy rain, and there are no people and vehicles in sight, and I desperately wonder if this is an old road that has been abandoned?

I was thinking about whether to drag Sheng Shiyao along the gravel road, and I was worried that if I dragged it out like this, he would not be able to hold on. His breath was getting weaker and weaker, his lips were beginning to turn purple, looking at him like this, my eyes were red, my heart was extremely sad, and I sat in the mud, I don't know if it was rain or tears that blurred my vision.

It was wiped out, and it flowed out again, and then my eyes began to hurt. In the haze, I seemed to see the black bright eyes, blinked vigorously, and blinked again, the obsidian eyes were close in front of me, and I was finally sure that it was not my dazzle, it was real...... He opened his eyes, and he actually woke up!

I was so excited that I couldn't speak: "Sheng Shiyao, are you awake?" It's not that I'm dreaming, how could you wake up on your own? No, you're really awake, aren't you? His lips moved, and even though he didn't make a sound, I understood what he meant, and he said, "Don't cry, I'm fine." ”

One sentence hooked all my tears out, and my vision never became clearer again, and it was always hazy. I even had the urge to cry, and when he woke up, he said that he was fine, then he must be fine, because he was Sheng Shiyao.
