I don't know how long I've slept this night, when I woke up, my clothes were half dry, the fat man was sitting next to me and chewing the special beef I gave him, the third child was also there, and everyone else was awake and preparing in their own ways.

I snorted, I felt uncomfortable, and I felt that I had a slight cold, my throat was very painful, and the fat man's voice was guttural, which caused him to listen to a standard Beijing movie weirdly.

I looked at my watch, and it was July 12, 1997, so it had been 10 days since we entered this tomb.

Ten days is not a short day, but it is definitely not a long time, but I feel like a century has passed, I can't imagine what I'm going through, I don't know what will lie ahead of me, this feeling of uncertainty is terrible, the problem is that I have to go on, put aside the original intention, I find that I also have a deep desire to learn about this culture and secrets buried deep underground, and my damn curiosity will kill myself sooner or later.

Originally, I still wanted to sleep for a while, but they were almost ready, I had no choice but to get up and clean up my things, in fact, there was nothing to clean up, everything was in the bag, everyone's mood was not very high, maybe the body couldn't keep up, although eating the insect repellent pill strengthened the physique, but wearing wet clothes to sleep in the depths of such an ancient tomb for so long, the flesh and blood must be unbearable, and the body is already strong and strong without getting sick.

"Those who eat eat quickly, and those who need convenience are also quickly resolved, we have been delayed for too long, my time is limited, I hope you can understand." After speaking, Lu Ye actually ordered Tu Mu to go to the tunnel to explore the road first, and Tu Mu didn't say anything, he went into the water with a military short knife, and the two elders objected, refuting Lu Ye for the first time: "Lu Ye, I can't understand your order, everyone knows that this road is very dangerous, why let the eldest brother take risks." ”

I think they're right, everyone already knows that there are devouring rats inhabiting the tunnel, and we've learned the horror of that thing through the skeleton and the usual descriptions, and it's really irrational to let Tumu go alone, it's not something that one person can deal with.

Tu Mu knew Lu Ye's temperament well, and he hurriedly shouted: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

The third child still wanted to say something, but I hurriedly grabbed him, and Tu Mu over there also shouted again: "Shut up, this is an order." ”

The nature of a soldier is to obey orders, the third child was helpless, sighed, I knew that they wanted to go to explore the road with Tu Mu, so that they could take care of it.

Lu Ye's face softened at this time, he held his glasses and said, "You don't need to go in and walk far, just five minutes." ”

"Got it." Tu Mu nodded, and went in, we watched him enter the tunnel alone and then go into the darkness, his heart was very complicated, but no one said anything, it is true that only Tu Mu is the most suitable for exploring the way, he has a very strong physique, good skills, and calm and rational, for this kind of position but very dangerous place only he is qualified, if you change someone, maybe you will go without going back and hurt everyone.

Tu Mu went in for about seven or eight minutes, he was very careful, did not make any sound, and stared at the tunnel for a long time, and said: "Lu Ye is right, don't look at this kind of rat devouring is very fierce, but they are in the dormant period most of the time, as long as there is no big movement or strong light and high temperature, they generally will not wake up, if Tu Mu can come out safely, then everyone still has a chance, on the contrary, if even he can't get out, then everyone doesn't need to go in, in such an environment, we are equivalent to sheep into the tiger's mouth, there is no possibility of survival." ”

Only then did we know Lu Ye's thoughts, and it seemed right to think about it carefully, if all of us ventured in, maybe the only hope would be destroyed, but I always felt that it was too much to let Tu Mu take risks alone, so I didn't speak, and took advantage of these few minutes to eat something.

After a few more minutes, Tu Mu came out, his face became ugly, and the third child hurriedly went up and asked, "Big brother......

Tu Mu waved his hand and said to Lu Ye: "The tunnel is very long, and it is a flat-shaped terrain, the more you walk, the more tired you go, the narrower it gets, and the walls and ceilings of the tunnel are full of rats sleeping. ”

Tu Mu's words were equivalent to pouring a basin of cold water on all of us, and Lu Ye also pondered for a long time before asking Tu Mu: "Can you pass?" ”

Tu Mu shook his head and said, "To be honest, it's not something I can be sure of, if it's me, I'm sure I'll be able to pass safely, but ......"

He didn't go on, but the meaning was obvious, and he wasn't sure that so many people would not wake up the rats, and the tunnel terrain was particularly bad, which made it even more difficult.

"But we have to go, don't we?" Huang Xian still had a very flat tone, she said: "We have no way out, there is only this way now, in fact, we have no choice." ”

Me: "......"

We discussed it for a while, but the end result was to move forward, and immediately.

It is still Tu Mu who is in the lead, Lu Ye is in the back, Chang Huangxian is in front of me and the fat man, and the two third are in the back of the hall behind me, which makes me feel more secure, at least stay in the middle.

All of us held the short knife and dagger in our hands, the fat man originally wanted to use the gun, but was stopped by Lu Ye, he said that everyone had to die as soon as the gun sounded, and I quickly gave the fat man's gun.

A group of eight people, slowly entered the tunnel, the water was very cold, I walked a few steps to know that the tunnel was full of bones, burping, we walked very steadily, lifting the feet without a trace of splash, there was no sound when putting the feet, I could even hear the fat man's heavy breathing, and there was the fishy smell of eating rats, very heavy, very strong kind, you can see how many corpses they have eaten.

We have been walking for at least more than three hours, our legs are numb from the cold, but it is still pitch black, it can be seen that the road ahead is very long, and the tunnel is really like Tu Mu said, the more steep it is, we are almost climbing, fortunately the ground is not too difficult to walk, but! The tunnel is getting narrower, the kind that is getting narrower and narrower, although we dare not get out, but our hearts are pinched, for fear that one of us will accidentally touch the rat on the wall.

But if you want to say the most worrying, it can only be the fat man, his body shape walking in such terrain, it is like walking a tightrope, every step is a heartbeat, and I walking behind him, it is also very exciting.

"Can you rest?" I don't know who it is, I said this in a suppressed voice, but no one answered at all, no one stopped, naturally no one dared to leave the team, we walked like this for a few more hours, I felt that my legs were no longer my own, a little disobedient to the start, and it was basically instinct to keep up.

And walking here, the temperature has become extremely cold, the road is narrow and steep, we have to only bow down and walk, especially the fat man has been able to walk sideways, he covered his mouth and kicked and shhh Only then did he straighten up and walk.

After another two hours, I was already shivering and my eyelids were extremely heavy, not because I wanted to sleep, but because the cranial nerves were already determining whether I was physically dead, and once I was sure of death, then my brain would fall asleep and enter a state of brain death.

I had no choice but to bite the tip of my tongue hard, a smell of blood spread all over my mouth, and the sharp pain made me almost scream, but it also made me sober up a little, and looked at the road ahead, still without light, I almost suspected that this was a dead end at all, but it was also impossible, water is living water, and there must be a way out ahead.
