Chapter Forty-Three: Righteousness and Thin Clouds
I heard the shouts of Zheng Tian and the fat bear, and I suddenly felt that something was wrong, if they also saw the ghost sting on their heads, then it proved that those things were not my hallucinations, but real, Tai Sui, who could kill us!
At this moment, I felt that one of them had fallen on my shoulder, and the sharp pain hit my whole body in an instant, and it seemed that the strong acid from this ghost sting had penetrated my clothes and corroded my skin!
I cursed secretly, thinking that a long pain was better than a short pain, so I turned the knife in my hand and slashed at my shoulder, cutting the ghost sting that stuck to my shoulder and my rotting flesh to the ground.
I gritted my teeth and endured the pain as I ran and dripped, but the ghost stings in the area above my head just now did not stop there, half of them sucked on the top of the corridor, half fell to the ground, and the soldiers quickly crawled towards us in two ways.
In fact, these ghost stings are not too fast to crawl up, but we disabled people are already at the limit of our physical fitness, so we don't have any advantage in speed.
All of a sudden, thousands of drops of strong acid spurted violently from our heads and behind us, but fortunately we had already taken off our backpacks and lifted them to the top of our heads, otherwise our heads would have been full of holes. But we couldn't prevent the strong acid sprayed behind us, and soon the three of them were colored.
At this time, the fat bear shouted: "These things are afraid of fire, do you have open flames on you?" ”
"Is a lighter okay?" Zheng Tian replied anxiously.
"No! The fire was too small, and the flames didn't last long. The fat bear waved his hand vigorously, and then said: "Damn, when I came out, I only brought a flashlight because I was troublesome, and I knew that I would take a few fire folds!" ”
As soon as I heard what the fat bear said, I thought to myself that I have this fire fold in my bag! Before leaving, he specially asked for it with Brother Qi, and immediately grabbed a handful from his bag, gave some to Zheng Tian and Fat Bear, ordered them all, and threw them back.
In an instant, a wall of fire formed behind him, and the flames were booming, although they couldn't last long, but they still resisted the ghost stings on the ground for the time being.
The crisis behind was resolved, but there were still a lot of ghosts chasing after us at the top of the road, and we couldn't let the fire in our hands burn to the top, and the strong acid that rained down quickly corroded our backpacks to the ground.
"It's not a way to go on like this, you have to think of a compromise and get rid of these things completely!" Fat Bear shouted.
But what should I think about? Now that the few remaining fire folds have been exhausted, it is no exaggeration to say that we have reached the point of exhaustion of donkey skills. This damn road is still turning around, and you can't run no matter how you run!
At this time, Zheng Tian beside me suddenly stopped, and even pulled me and the fat bear with him, I thought at first that he couldn't run, and just wanted to drag him to continue running, but he shook his hand, panted and said, "Look...... Look under your feet. ”
Fat Bear and I hurriedly looked at the soles of our feet, and then we found that we were actually standing on a square stone cover with the word "ink" written on it, and there was a protruding handle at the top of the stone cover.
I gave Zheng Tian a thumbs up and said, "You kid has enough eyes to be a thief!" It's all found! ”
Zheng Tian waved his hand: "Don't ...... Don't talk nonsense, let's work together to lift this stone cover! ”
At that moment, the three of them grabbed the handle on the stone cover with their hands and exerted their strength together, but the stone cover was extremely heavy, and the three of us were all bruised and the stone cover still did not move.
Seeing that the ghosts behind me were about to gather around, and we didn't have any more time to waste, I suggested that I leave this thing under my feet and continue to run.
The fat bear picked up his rifle and fired a few shots at the approaching ghost, and then said, "Sooner or later, you will be surrounded if you run forward, and there is only hope if you go down." ”
With that, the fat bear aimed the muzzle of the gun at the edge of the stone cover, and fired several shots in succession, the stone was probably sedimentary shale, relatively brittle, and the bullet quickly made a gap. The fat bear then pressed the barrel of the gun against the gap, and then pressed his whole body against the barrel of the gun, trying to pry the stone cover up, but before the stone cover was pried up, the gun barrel was already somewhat deformed.
Seeing this, Zheng Tian and I hurriedly took out the sapper shovel in our backpacks, inserted the end of the pole into the gap, and the three of us came together to pry it up.
At this time, the fat bear carried the handle on the stone cover and shouted: "You two go down first, I have a lot of strength, fat master, and I can hold on again!" ”
When he said this, the fat bear's arms and face were already crawling with ghost stings, and there were ghost stings on the top of the corridor that kept falling towards him.
This fat man is really righteous! I pushed Zheng Tianyi, sent him down first, and then shouted at the fat bear: "If you can escape, I will make you a friend in Diancheng!" ”
"Gotta get it! What the fuck are you talking nonsense! I can't last long, fat man! The bear interrupted me with a loud voice, then kicked me hard, kicking me down.
I tilted my head and slid all the way down, and when I saw that the fat bear was still on it, I hurriedly shouted, "Come down too!" ”
The fat bear held back his face, the muscles on his arms had already burst out, all supported by a rifle, he nodded at me with difficulty, just wanted to jump down, but he didn't guard the rifle in his hand "snapped", it actually broke, and the next second, the huge stone cover collapsed.
"Fat Bear!"
I shouted hoarsely from above, but it was pitch black and there was no response.
My nose was sore, and the fat bear knew that he couldn't lift the stone cover with his strength alone, but he still ...... The moment the stone lid was closed, my mind was in chaos, as if I had lost my soul, and it was densely crawling with ghost stings, and the fat bear was afraid that he would not survive.
My body slid down the uneven passage to the bottom, and I felt mixed feelings in my heart, but I felt guilt the most.
At the bottom was a secret room made of rammed earth, and Zheng Tian, who had slid down first, was lying not far in front of me.
He patted the dust on his body, coughed a few times, got up and asked me, "Ahem...... Ahem, where's the fat man? ”
I've always been a person who is more emotional or not strong enough, but my eyes were a little moist at the moment, I closed my eyes and shook my head and said, "If I can't get down, I guess I won't be able to live." ”
Zheng Tian also felt very sorry when he heard this, sighed a few times and said: "I didn't expect this fat man to be such a loving person, I blamed him before." ”
I slowly got up, raised my head very heavily, arched my hand towards the top, and said, "Brother, let's go." ”
In fact, I and this fat bear really don't know each other, he pretended to be a fortune teller and cheated me out of 100,000 yuan, so that when I saw him later, it was like seeing an enemy, and even wanted Zheng Tian to find someone to beat him.
Later, on Zanglong Mountain, our group was surrounded by ghosts, and it was this "enemy" who helped us in time to escape.
After getting out of the tomb, although this fat bear has repeatedly caused trouble, he has also repeatedly saved me, and just now, he used his life as his last bargaining chip to fight for us a chance to live.
Where is his home? I don't know, does he have a family? I don't know, what is his real name? I still don't know......
I didn't know anything about him, but it was this person I didn't know anything about that saved my life.
Thank you, good fat man, and may you rest in Heaven.
Thinking of this, a few tears fell from the corners of my eyes unconsciously, and Zheng Tian seemed to be a little moist from my infected eyes, and he stayed in place for a long time without speaking.
But at the moment we have no time to grieve and grieve and grieve for the sake of the sacrifice of our companions so that we can live, so we cannot live up to it.
I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, adjusted my mood, and then patted Zheng Tian on the shoulder and said, "We want to find Uncle Dao and them, and then get out alive." ”
Zheng Tian nodded, and the two of us immediately used flashlights to take a look in this secret room, but there were earthen walls on all sides, and there were neither coffins nor burial goods, so it seemed that it should not be a tomb.
"This place can't be dedicated to imprisoning the living, right? I've heard that many of the craftsmen who built the tombs in ancient times never made it out alive. Zheng Tian said.
I shook my head: "It's not like it, the craftsmen who built the mausoleum back then were not a little bit, and you see that the space here is extremely small, and it can't accommodate so many people." ”
"Maybe it's just one of them? There are other secret rooms that we haven't found. Zheng Tian continued.
I spoke again: "Let me tell you like this, this small secret room where we are located can accommodate up to seven or eight people, and such a large-scale mausoleum must have nearly a thousand people working here, which means that there are still nearly 100 secret rooms to be built here, will those craftsmen be stupid enough to bother digging their own graves here?" It's unlikely. ”
Zheng Tian nodded: "Then what do you think this secret room is for?" ”
I actually don't know much about the doorways of these catacombs, and most of them rely on my own subjective guesses, so it's hard to say anything about guaranteeing tickets, but I vaguely feel that this is not like a separate secret room, but it is very similar to the road we walked before.
