Chapter 28: Despair

The whole team was boiling all at once, the team members high-fived and celebrated, and the haze of Fang Cai was swept away in an instant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Captain Li immediately asked all the team members to straighten out, and everyone didn't dare to slack off, and finally broke free from the hands of death, and they all thought about leaving quickly.

After we packed up, we followed the rope and walked through one cave after another, but we walked for four hours despite the wind under our feet, and when we reached the end of the rope, we saw the two members of the pathfinder leaning against the cave wall, looking depressed.

I felt that it was wrong at first glance, if I had found the exit, why would these two team members still cry and mourn, like a dead wife, they should have rushed over to hug us and cry with joy.

We walked over and asked, only to find out that things weren't as smooth as we thought. It turned out that one of the two team members was the one who made the mark before, and the two of them walked for a long time, and finally jumped from Cave 21 to No. 8 at once, and the team member who made the mark found a problem, saying that the mark was not written by him.

Captain Li confronted him, "Can you be sure that you didn't write it?" ”

The team member nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said:

"Pretty sure! You listen to me, I was very impressed, in preschool, I just started to learn numbers, when I learned 6, the math teacher was sick, at that time the teaching resources were scarce, and I couldn't find other teachers for a while, so I asked the Chinese teacher to teach us on our behalf, the Chinese teacher wrote the numbers when there was a characteristic, when writing this 8 words, and other people's penmanship is different, like to draw two circles, up and down to make up 8 words, we also rely on the gourd to draw scoops, developed this habit. ”

I said in my heart that your kid is really funny, and the daring math is taught by the Chinese teacher, so I just heard him continue:

"I walked here just now, and when I looked at the 8 characters on the wall, I found that it was written in one stroke, which was completely different from the 8 characters I wrote!"

I couldn't help but say, "If that's the case, I think it must be the braces kid who got in the way and changed our numbers!" ”

The team member said, "I haven't changed it, I looked at it carefully, and there is no trace of alteration." ”

Yang Xue suddenly jumped out at this time and said, "I thought of it!" Have you noticed that when we were looking for the exit along the way, we all picked a random cave at the fork, and saw the mark at the first time, so we didn't look at the cave next to it, you think about it, every time we see the mark in the first cave accurately, this probability is too great, right? ”

Everyone suddenly realized, my heart said yes, we have a preconceived idea, see the mark and break in, never doubted the authenticity of the mark, the braces this kid must have secretly followed us, saw us make a mark, in another cave also wrote the same mark, confusing our sight, no wonder we sometimes go right and sometimes go wrong, this is not an illusion at all, but a routine, a deep routine!

As soon as I said my thoughts, the fat man gritted his teeth with hatred and scolded:

"Dead to the streets! He tried to kill us again and again, and if I caught him, I had to do him! ”

Captain Li didn't hesitate, so he asked me and Yang Xue to check the mark, this No. 8 cave has two forks, we checked one by one, and sure enough, we found that both caves were written with the "8" mark, but, in one of the caves, there is an "8" character that can obviously be seen to be composed of two circles.

We went back right away and asked the team member if you could recognize any font other than "8". As soon as the team member heard this, he began to hesitate:

"This ...... I'm not sure that I ...... I can give it a try......"

"Try you-mom!" Captain Li became angry when he heard this, and when he lifted a kick, he kicked the team member to the ground. I hurriedly grabbed him and told him not to be impulsive, saying that this is no wonder this team member, the penmanship of ordinary people writing numbers is similar, and if the braces are deliberately imitated, he will definitely not be able to see it.

At this time, Yang Xue gestured to us, asking us not to speak, looking at her, as if she had thought of some key point. We all held our breath and fixed our eyes on her face, and when we saw that she frowned slightly, sometimes stretched her brows, and thought for several minutes before she said:

"I've figured out a way to get out!"

Everyone hurriedly asked what the solution was, only to see her look of joy: "This method is actually very simple, think about it, the location we are in now is Cave 8, right?" We have determined that one of them is true, then, we will go down this real cave, we will inevitably go to No. 7, assum, no matter how many branch caves appear on No. 7, we try one by one, there is always one that is true, through this method, step by step, we are not so difficult to get out. ”

As soon as she said this, everyone seemed to have opened up the second vein of Ren Du, and they all nodded and praised Yang Xue for being really as good as her name, and Bing Xue was smart. With that, he began to pack his bags and prepare to go. But I always had an ominous premonition in my heart that this braces were perverse, and that it was impossible for me to make such a lowly mistake, and that if the same number were written in another cave, it would confuse us for a while, but we would always find that the situation was not right, and that things could not be so simple.

What happened next fulfilled my suspicions. We walked more than a kilometer along the so-called correct Cave 8, and three branch caves appeared in front of us, each with a 16 written on the wall!

Everyone was blindfolded, and they couldn't believe their eyes, obviously they were following the right number, how could they jump to the 16th again, this is incredible!

I didn't care about their surprise, so I took the kettle and poured it on the number, wiped it repeatedly with my sleeve, and found that this was a professional marker pen for caving, and the handwriting could be waterproof. It turned out that there were faint scratches around this number, and my brain exploded, so I hurriedly asked Captain Li to get me a tiger tooth knife, and gently scraped it a few times with the edge of the knife, and sure enough, the number on it was scraped clean by me.

I said to them:

"It seems that the kid with braces is insidious and vicious, we will not give up if we don't kill him, all the fonts have been changed by him, and the fonts we see can be said to be not real!"

The fat yellow man was about to scold again, but he was glared at by Boss Chen, and only heard Boss Chen say:

"It seems that we have been beaten back to our original shapes, so we have to follow the method of starting the blind man touching the elephant!"

On the third day, the food ran out as we expected, because there was no hope, the team began to waver, and the team members began to complain about Captain Li's decision, saying that they should not have come in the first place, and if they had followed the waterway, they would not have entered any maze by mistake, and now they are trapped here, starved to death, which is really embarrassing. The player who made the mark had been kicked by Captain Li before, and he had been eyeing him all the time, trying to wait for an opportunity to retaliate. On the fourth day, the situation became even more serious, as some of the team members wanted to break away from the team and find a way out on their own, while others were resolutely opposed, saying that separatism should not be practiced at such times.

Hunger gradually eats away at our reason, and people who seemed to be honest and responsible have become violent, and everyone begins to feel dissatisfied, and we continue to look for a way out, repeatedly hitting a wall, this despair is even more serious. On the fifth day, the situation finally got out of control, there was a team member who had an emotional breakdown, shouting and screaming, the voice was extremely sharp, and the noise made people panic, Captain Li wanted to stop him, but this person went crazy and fought back, and Captain Li fought, everyone also watched the excitement, no one intervened, and finally I and Huang Fat worked together to restrain this person and tie him up with a rope.

Later, another man lost control of his emotions and ran out alone like crazy, and by the time we caught up, he had disappeared and did not know which cave he had gone into.

Most of the time, we were close together, silent, and there was a deathly silence all around us, and we could hear each other's breathing and heartbeats clearly. In order to save energy, Captain Li ordered us to use the flashlight intermittently, and it was forbidden to use it at other times except when we went out to find an exit. At this time, more people were dissatisfied, and they had long been dissatisfied with Captain Li's authority, not knowing that there would be a riot and kill each other at that time.

On the sixth day, Captain Li suddenly made a decision that made everyone both excited and shocked:

"Now, in order for everyone to survive, we have to sacrifice one person......
