Chapter 329: A Difficult Choice
Gao Chao said dryly, and couldn't help coughing twice, and said: "So I think that Xia Qing proposed that we should investigate the real purpose of those Soviets coming here, maybe her proposal is reasonable, if we want to find the Tomb of the Western Night King, maybe we should really continue to follow the clues left by those Soviets and keep going." ”
Listening to Gao Chao's words, the fat man couldn't help but sigh, and said: "Old Gao, buddy, I'm not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, you should know this, since we promised them to help them bring Yucong back, then buddy I will definitely not retreat halfway and go back, but to be honest, our trip is not easier than the ancient city of Yinshan, I look at the current situation, I can't tell you that we haven't found the tomb of the King of the West Night, our brothers have to fold here......"
As he spoke, the fat man took two puffs of cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and twisted it with his foot before he continued: "Lao Gao, to tell the truth, there is nothing to fear from dying, buddy, I am not afraid of death at all, but I only ask for one thing, that is, I am fat and will die to understand it, and I can't finally breathe down, and I don't understand why I died!" ”
The fat man's words, of course Gao Chao understood, and he also understood, the fat man, like him, came for the fast Yucong, but until now, they haven't even found the edge of the Tomb of the King of the West Night, which is really disheartening and uneasy.
So then, if they continue to act according to Xia Qing's thoughts, then they are following their feelings, following the clue that may not have anything to do with the Tomb of the Western Night King at all, and the final result is really unpredictable.
In the face of the fat man's heart-to-heart words. Gao Chao also hesitated. He didn't know what to do next. Left or right, forward or backward, it seems that there are many roads left for him, and there seems to be no road, in the face of such a situation, Gao Chao feels a lot of pressure, and for the first time, he feels that he is in this team of four people. It seems that he is playing an important role, and every decision he makes will affect the fate of everyone.
Quiet, in this narrow corridor, there is only silence.
Xia Qing still didn't speak, she seemed to have nothing to say, and it seemed that she had already finished what she was about to say, and now there was no need to say it at all, it could be seen from her eyes that she was still insisting on her thoughts. Her stubbornness and her stubbornness are typical characteristics of her.
Gao Chao looked at Xia Qing. He realized that he already knew her very well, but suddenly felt that Xia Qing looked so strange.
So he looked at the fat man again, the fat man hung his head, as if he was very tired, they had little food and water left, this is indeed a crisis for the fat man who eats a lot, the fat man has already felt the existence of this crisis, he may be worried, maybe he is afraid, he knows that if he continues like this for a few more days, he will die of thirst and starvation.
So the fat man has every reason to protest, every reason to say what he thinks, because this is the last critical moment.
Gao Chao looked at the fat man, he knew him very well, he knew that even if there was no way ahead, as long as he was still moving forward desperately, the fat man would not have any complaints, he would always be by his side and face death together.
This is the fat man, the fat man as he knows it.
Gao Chao has been thinking about it, he has to make a choice no matter what, but how to choose, which way to go, Gao Chao has become hesitant.
He suddenly felt that the basis for his choice seemed to be beyond the scope of reason and logic, because no matter what he chose now, it seemed that what was in front of him was just a dead end.
So Gao Chao can only rely on his instincts now, and his instincts tell him that he still has to stay calm, to follow his feelings, and his first feeling is - hunger and thirst.
Whichever path they choose, forward or backward, they need water and food, which are the basis of their survival, and these two things are now scarce, so they can only hold out for two more days at most.
So the instinct to survive told Gao Chao that he had to do it now.
Gao Chao said in a hoarse voice: "Comrades, we must put aside our differences now, there are many difficulties in front of us, but there is only one that is the most fatal, and that is water and food. ”
As soon as the fat man heard Gao Chao say this, he seemed to be in his spirits immediately, he staggered to his feet, and said: "You still know me best, Lao Gao, people are iron rice and steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you are hungry and panicked, I am almost panicking now, don't say anything, listen to you, Lao Gao, what do you say next." ”
Xia Qing was also waiting for Gao Chao to continue.
Gao Chao thought about it, and then looked at the distribution box on the wall in front of him, and he suddenly had an idea.
"What we have to do now is to find water and food here, but it is not easy, the biggest difficulty is undoubtedly that we don't know about this place, we don't know how many floors this place has, how large the area is, and this place is pitch black, we have to rely on two headlamps to try our luck in the dark, it's like walking a maze, unless we are really that lucky, we can find what we need in this place."
Gao Chao's words made the fat man anxious, and said: "Old Gao, try your luck in this kind of place, you have to think clearly, this is not luck, this is looking for death." ”
Xia Qing looked at Gao Chao in confusion, and finally couldn't help but say: "Gao Chao, what do you want to say, do you already have a way?" ”
Gao Chao nodded and said, "I have thought of a solution, but whether it can work or not really depends on our luck." ”
The fat man hurriedly said, "Then you should say it quickly." ”
Gao Chao then looked at the distribution box on the wall and explained: "There is a power gate here, you see, the power switch is connected to the wires, and the wires come out of the distribution box and go to the corridor on the side, the wires are all connected, but they will eventually lead to one place, that is, the power generation room where the generator is located." ”
The fat man hurriedly said, "Lao Gao, you mean that let's go find the power generation room, and then we will find food in the power generation room, right?" ”
It's good that Gao Chao didn't mention it just now, but now the fat man's head is probably full of all kinds of food.
Gao Chao only said helplessly: "I'm not saying that the food is in the power generation room, I mean that we can find the power generation room along these wires, I estimate that this kind of place can only use diesel generators to generate electricity, so if we are lucky, maybe we can find diesel in the power generation room, and we can make the generator work again, so that we have electricity." ”
At this point, Xia Qing blinked his eyes and said, "I understand, you want to make this place light up again, so that we can save a lot of valuable time and energy." ”
"That's right." Gao Chaodao.
Xia Qing thought about it, and seemed to be a little worried, and said: "But the situation of the generator should not be too good, after all, it has been abandoned here for nearly thirty years, and even if we find the power generation room, we may not be able to regenerate electricity at all." ”
Although Xia Qing was a little pessimistic, her words were not unreasonable.
But Gao Chao suddenly smiled.
