Volume VIII, Chapter 8: Crisis

"Do you think this is retribution?" She smiled wryly and shook her head, "An unclean woman like me deserves this kind of retribution?" ”

I shook my head and sighed, "You're probably too self-defeating." As soon as the words came out, I felt that it was wrong, and what I said about self-abandonment and self-abandonment as she understood it might not be the same thing.

But I didn't bother to explain anything, so I carried the girl on my back and walked in front.

She fell behind and stayed where she was for a long time before she caught up.

Under our feet, there are all huge and monstrous rocks, sharp edges and corners, ready to split people in two.

Across the front is a huge stone beam, through which the scenery in front of you changes. The ground was littered with rubble, all the size of a human head, and some larger, comparable to a small cruise ship.

People walking in this kind of place are really quite small.

This place is really scary, not only because of the darkness and emptiness, not only because of the strange smell, not because the flashlight is not reflected here, it is pitch black, but because the ground is covered with many strange bones!

It's not a mass grave, it's better than a mass grave.

In the mass grave, it is only tragic, but here, it is inhumane and weird.

I suddenly regretted a little, regretting that I let go of this bastard so cheaply.

In the past few hundred years on Earth, he didn't know how many sins he had committed, and he should have been court-martial in the first place.

"Here...... How could it be like this...... "Qian Xinyu's body is very weak, and at this time, I can't stand it here.

If it's just human bones, that's it. These corpses have been soaked in preservatives, and they do not decay easily, and the blue flesh is attached to the white bones, and some of them are still wet, which is really disgusting.

Occasionally, you can hear a few squeaks, and you can see a few strange little eyes, all of which are the remnants of the mouses, gnawing at the muscles that have not yet rotted on the bones.

The girl was clinging to my back, and I could feel my breathing getting shorter.

The feeling of chilling behind is really not very good.

Passing through the vast underground space, he came to the bottom of a cliff, and the flashlight moved upward.

A corner of the building appeared in the darkness.

Ruined walls, hidden behind huge rocks.

The walls and rocks were covered with cobweb-like cracks, and there was a big explosion here.

A furious wave of energy tore everything here apart.

Stepping over a few concrete pillars on the ground, I came to a staircase that had turned into a dirt slope.

Luckily, the stairs here are cut directly into the rock, so even if the energy wave sweeps over, it won't be easily destroyed.

Over here...... I've been here.

This huge underground space, in addition to the place we entered, actually has an exit, but that exit was also blown up by me.

Originally, I was going to bury everything here in the ground, never to see the light of day.

But I didn't expect that the germs created by Luo Ke would be so stubborn, and after so many years, they would still infect people.

"Here...... Have you been here? Qian Xinyu was behind me and asked softly.

I nodded, didn't say anything, and the afterglow swept over her face, but I could see that her face was as pale as a dead person.

She's only in a little better state than Yaya, but now she's going to go with me.

Looking at the collapsed building above, he sighed and said, "After going up, let's rest first." ”

"Good!"

Above the stairs is the building of the base. I found a fairly clean place and put the girl down. He took out the water and fed her two more grains.

Qian Xinyu also opened her backpack, took out a lot of medicines, and took out the amount she took at one time according to the formula.

Soon, she had a large handful of medicine in her hand.

She swallowed it with water, her eyes calmly looking at the beam on the pillar in front of her that had not yet collapsed.

Thinking about what I said earlier, I couldn't help but say, "Actually, having this disease doesn't mean anything, it's just that the world is prejudiced against this disease." ”

"You think so?" It was a long time before she replied to me, "But I did ...... those things."

I was silent. I really can't find anything to say.

Yaya just leaned on me calmly and didn't say anything.

It's cold again.

After thinking about it, I still said, "It's quite big down here, how are you going to find the sacrifice spirit?" ”

"I ...... Haven't thought about it yet...... All I know it's coming in here,"

I frowned slightly, this place is really big, I can't mess around in it. Yaya doesn't have much time, and Daddy and Father-in-law don't have much time.

Moreover, even if there were no creatures like the blood-colored giant ape in this place, who could guarantee that there would be other more powerful germs left in it.

At his feet, there was a swarthy, rusty scrap metal, and its shadow on the ground was shaking slightly.

This shadow comes from my headlamp, the light is shaking, and my heart is trembling.

"What's wrong...... Profound? Yaya asked softly.

"Nothing ......"

"You're scared."

"I'm not afraid, I'm just thinking about how to find the priest."

"Zhuo, am I being unreasonable again, and at this time, I will increase the burden on you?"

"Nope!" I gently hugged her in my arms and smiled, "With your weight, it's too light, like you haven't eaten." In the past, when I was fighting, I carried a backpack on my back, and it weighed more than you. ”

"Then I'm going to get fat. Until you can't carry me. I don't think you dare to say I'm light! ”

"Then I won't carry you."

She looked at me smugly.

I coughed lightly twice: "I'm afraid that after carrying you, my body is full of oil......"

Suddenly, my ears hurt. An angry voice sounded softly and playfully in his ears: "Yun Zhuo, are you looking for death?" ”

She's angry, she's still so cute, so good-looking.

I couldn't see anger in her eyes. What is shiny and shiny is the joy of spirituality.

"Painful ......"

"And you're still talking nonsense?"

She let go and said apologetically, "Zhuo, did I hurt you?" ”

"What do you say?"

Qian Xinyu's shadow entered my field of vision again.

There was a sudden condensation in my heart, flirting with the maid in front of her, this ...... Isn't that too much?

And Yaya seemed to know my thoughts and stopped talking.

I looked at the time, and I had enough rest.

I said, "Let's go......"

"Hmm!" Qian Xinyu's words are not as many as when he was in Hengduan Mountain, perhaps because he knew that he was about to die.

I thought: if I can find Xiao Ruo, maybe I can cure her illness.

She struggled to get up and said, "The spirit of sacrifice will appear here, and it is likely to have something to do with what it lost." ”

I didn't answer, I put the girl on my back and waited for her to continue.

She said, "The spirit of sacrifice has spirituality, and it is very likely that it came here to look for those witch fish, or it is very likely to come to find a person, or a memory about this person. ”

"Witchfish?" I remembered that there were indeed those scary creatures with scales here, and although they weren't very strong in combat, they were still a nuisance.

"So you have to go find those witchfish now?"

She nodded, "They're dangerous. ”

"It's fine!" I'm not a comforter, if it was before, looking at those witch fish, I would only have escaped for my life, but now it's different, the ability of the Miao Knife has been revived, I can swing the knife casually, and I can also let them fall down a large area.

I took a step and was about to continue walking.

Suddenly, I found that there was an arrow on a stone next to Yaya!

An arrow drawn on it with a sharp object.

Still very fresh traces. It seems to have just been scratched.

I was displeased, and my eyebrows were raised.

The girl followed my eyes and saw the arrow. An important reason why our love has been so strong for 800 years is that we can understand each other's thoughts and thoughts. It's a wonderful feeling, the feeling of mountains and rivers meeting bosom friends.

People live in this world, they are lonely, and it is really good to have someone who understands them.

"Before us...... Someone has been here......" Yaya said softly, what I wanted to say.

I looked up at Qian Xinyu and asked, "You left this arrow?" …”

She was puzzled, and there was a moment of confusion in her eyes.

I don't know if his confusion was about the appearance of the arrow, or if he was puzzled by something else.

This look has already told me the answer.

I said, "There may be someone ...... ahead of us."

Ghosts are not the most feared, the most terrifying are people.

What does this arrow imply?

What kind of person left this code here?

"Or ...... Let's follow the arrows? Yaya suggested.

I looked at Qian Xinyu, who thought for a moment and nodded.

And of course I don't have any opinions.

We're here to be aimless.

Following the arrow, I looked ahead and saw a broken door appear.

This is already Luoke's base, and the terrain is far more complicated than the outside.

In addition to this gate, there are also good power gates in several other directions.

This arrow is used to guide the way?

Is the other party well-intentioned? Or is it a trap? Is the other party luring us into the ambush circle he has already arranged?

I thought about it, and as it stands, I'm afraid there isn't anything that can trap me.

Yaya has my mecha, and what I'm most worried about now is Qian Xinyu.

After weighing the pros and cons, I estimated the probability that it was a trap, and I prefer to believe that it was a signpost.

The reason is simple, if it's a trap, they have to know where I am and what I want to do. He didn't say he wanted to know everything about me, at least he wanted to know how I was doing. And I think I am very important about the secrecy of my whereabouts.

Knowing that there are people in this, I naturally have to be vigilant. I followed the arrow and walked for more than ten minutes, but there was still no end.

But the traces of those arrows are getting fresher and fresher.

The underground world is always novel. But now, the novelty here is gone, and the exploding energy wave has razed everything here to the ground.

The stalactites overhead, the stalagmites on the ground, and the unique buildings here have all turned into powder.

There is no beauty here, just desolation and clutter.

I stopped in front of a wall. There is a very new arrow on it, which seems to have just been carved, and the stone dust around the dent is still clearly visible.

I looked back to the left...... That was the direction the arrow pointed, and there was a door, a swarthy, dilapidated stone door.

Will people go here? Or is this the door the way to where we were trapped last time?

I've been to this place, but I haven't traveled all over this underground base.

Qian Xinyu lowered her head, but she didn't even look at the arrow.

For a moment, I thought something was strange about her. She was getting quieter and quieter, which always made me think something bad was going to happen.

"I'll go make it easier......" she raised her head at last, her eyes without any sparkle, and walked indifferently behind a dilapidated wall.

"Zhuo, I don't know why, I always feel that she is hiding something......" Yaya glanced back at Qian Xinyu's back, stretched her small mouth to my ear, and said quietly.

I looked at Qian Xinyu and didn't say anything, no matter how heavy this woman's scheming is, I'm afraid that it won't do me any substantial harm now.

"Let's all be careful......" Yaya continued to whisper.

I nodded.

looked at the dark door in front of him, glanced back at Qian Xinyu, and said to her, "Let's go over and have a look first." ”

"Hmm!" She didn't say anything, just answered softly.

"Zhuo," Yaya's snort fell on my neck, which was itchy and a little numb. She whispered, "I think something is wrong. But what she said made a lot of sense. ”

I was silent for a moment, knowing that she was talking about poisoning.

"Not everyone is telling the truth." I said.

"Oh!" She said with some "dissatisfaction", "It seems that you already know, why are you so smart." Then why are you pretending you don't know anything? ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Many times, it's better to be stupid......"

Following the wall, we walked through the door.

The light shines forward, and it is immediately reflected back.

This place is not very big.

This is a room carved out of the mountain. The room is large, with several pillars supporting the dome overhead.

"Here...... There's no way......" Yaya said.

There is really no road, and this is just a room. And it's the kind of room with only one door.

There were fragments of objects lying on the ground, and it was unknown what it was used for. Relative to the outside, the area was relatively unaffected by the explosion.

"Will there be a secret door here?" Yaya asked again.

"No!" I said.

"You didn't even look for it, how do you know that there is no secret door here."

"Because...... The people who let us come here didn't even think about letting us walk out of this door alive! ”

Yaya's heartbeat increased violently, and she was shocked: "You mean, Qian Xinyu wants to kill us?" ”

"Nope! Specifically, to kill you! ”

"You know it all, so why are you here?"

"I want to know the truth, and I want to know if she knows about her father and her father."

"How can you be sure she'll say it?"

"She thought we were going to die, so she told us the truth before she died. It's just that I've always wondered what she's going to do to kill us......"
