Chapter 32: Dead End

I let out a long sigh and thought to myself that the damn thing was over, and I walked up to the corpse and kicked it unceremoniously, sending it into the black pool. www.biquge.info looked back at the others, they all looked half-dead, and if anything happened at this moment, they would have to wait for death.

Helped the three of them up one by one and checked their respective conditions, but fortunately, they were not in a situation where they had to die, they were all flesh wounds, and they were the most serious injuries I had.

The four of them sat together, you look at me and I look at you, secretly glad that the rest of my life after the catastrophe, the mark smirked at this moment, and the four of us held each other's arms, and then laughed too.

After resting for a while, he picked up the bronze box on the ground, and several people supported each other and began to set off towards the cave that did not know the details.

It's hard to imagine that under such circumstances, Biaozi still maintains an optimistic spirit, and he hums those uplifting songs all the way, and the atmosphere has eased a lot, and the spirit of the person is not so nervous.

The cave in front of us is the same as the one we have walked before, as soon as we step into it, it makes people feel a kind of disgust, because this kind of cave is all about crutches, always giving people a feeling that there is no end in sight, plus there is not much left of physical exertion, and in the last moments, no one is in the mood to say a word more.

The road behind was quite easy to walk, and we didn't encounter any danger, but after ten minutes, we found a layer of dirt, which was a strange phenomenon, and the dividing line between the black rock and the soil layer was almost zero. Obviously, our previous guess was correct, it must have been real dirt before, but the black rocks began to spread around the liquid in the black pool, and then formed the scene we saw.

Seeing this, Biaozi's spirit rose again, and he smiled at us: "Comrades, this is a good omen, maybe there will be an exit ahead, if we work harder, we will soon be able to see the sunshine of the past." ”

When we walked into this cave, we all noticed a detail, although the slope of the cave road is not large, but we can feel that it has been extending upwards, according to our estimates, another ten minutes of walking, it will definitely reach the top of the mountain.

Stepping on the dirt under my feet, I always feel much more grounded, and smelling the smell of the dirt is more invigorating than ever. However, everything is just our imagination, and in the end, we find that we have a dead end in front of us, and yes, we have reached the end of the cave here, and the extension of the cave stops here.

Our mood suddenly became low, in the face of such a situation, we were undoubtedly sentenced to death directly, but it was not okay to turn back, because those corpse scorpions and water monkeys would never let us go. I felt like I had fallen into an ice cellar, my whole body was cold, and there was a look of despair on everyone's faces.

Seeing this, Biao Zi was furious, and he scolded: "Fuck, it's clear that this cave is going all the way up, and if you go up a little more, you'll see the exit, why is it not going to work, so what is the purpose of building this cave?" ”

This cave is very strangely built, since it is not an exit, it is undoubtedly a superfluous move, and there is no stone chamber like before, obviously, no one here comes at all, so what is the purpose of building this cave? We were depressed, and we all sat on the floor, thinking about our own things.

The best choice at the moment is to wait, hoping that those rescued can get here as soon as possible, and we still have a glimmer of life. But who knows when they will come here, three or two days is okay, if it takes seven or eight days, then it will be enough, the four of us don't have any food to eat, how can we survive seven or eight days, eat mud to live?

As the minutes passed in silence, we didn't hear anything except the sound of each other's breathing, and it was clear that the rescue force had not yet made progress.

According to Professor Zhang's previous estimate, the members of that rescue force are not simple, there is no reason why they have not entered the cave for such a long time, and even if that force is completely destroyed, the country can still rebuild a force to come in, and the water monkeys will eventually be killed one day.

As for those corpse scorpions, it's even simpler, as long as there is the first contact, it is not enough to bring the fire-breathing air gun down, so what is the difficulty that the people outside have not entered? This leaves us puzzled.

It is said that a person can live for about six days without food supplements, I don't know if this is true or not, but all four of us are wounded and disabled, and our physical strength has long been exhausted, so it would be good to be able to live like this for three days if we make the best plans.

We didn't have clocks or anything like that, so I don't know how long it was, but in short, our mood was extremely low, and it happened that Professor Zhang's headlamp went out again, which was undoubtedly the most severe warning to us. We are running out of time, and we must make a final choice, whether to continue to wait for the people above to come down to the rescue, or take advantage of the last faint light source to turn around and fight.

Lao Cai gradually became irritable, and finally broke the endless silence, he said very indifferently: "I think we should go back, maybe with the strength of four people, we can still let one or two people escape, this is our last hope, and the only chance." ”

Biaozi and I didn't say anything, mainly because we wanted to hear Professor Zhang's opinion, but Professor Zhang shook his head but didn't approve of doing that, Lao Cai finally couldn't help it, and suddenly scolded: "Fuck, you are the oldest, why should we listen to you, we all have the right to choose our own life and death, don't fucking take the professor's position to oppress people." ”

Biaozi and I were both surprised, Lao Cai has always been a person who abides by the rules, he does whatever he says above, and he has never complained, and at this moment, what he shows is just the opposite. I suddenly discovered that on the verge of life and death, all bullshit rules are fake, and only life and death are what everyone cares about.

Professor Zhang's face was even more pale, he probably didn't expect Lao Cai to suddenly burst into foul language towards him, but he only hesitated for a while, and then returned to his previous calmness, and he said to Lao Cai: "You calm down, we will definitely die if we go out like this, and no one will be able to run away at that time, and waiting is our only way out." ”

Where is Lao Cai willing to listen, Tie Qing's face scolded: "The hell knows how long the fuck will have to wait, if you stay any longer, people will starve to death!" ”

I don't want Lao Cai and Professor Zhang to turn their faces at this time, and glanced at the label, the two pretended to be peacemakers, patted the shoulders of the two, signaled not to be excited, and the label diverted the topic and said: "I tell you the best way to save physical strength, do you want to know?" ”

Neither Professor Zhang nor Lao Cai replied, obviously not getting out of that tense atmosphere, so I had to pretend and say, "What are you kid selling, pick the key points." ”

Biaozi smiled: "Look at it! I saw him squatting on the ground, bringing his legs together, then holding his knees with both hands, resting his head on them, and saying, "Just like me, this method is scientifically researched, do you want to try it?" ”

I said don't do it, like a beggar begging for food, it's better to lean against the wall, if you want to have leisure, just tell a story to listen to, don't let everyone be bored.

As soon as he heard that it was Kai Dashan, the standard immediately became excited, and said: "Lao Yang, you know, my best thing is to tell stories, otherwise, today I will tell a terrifying story for you to refresh yourself, listen carefully, I will say, in the early fifties of the last century......" After saying the label, he began to talk colorfully.

The story takes place in the early days of liberation, when there were many mountains and trees in the countryside, especially at night, when a gust of wind blew in the mountains and forests, the branches and leaves of those wild trees were sparsely rattled, and some unknown beasts and monsters screamed, which was easy to reminiscent of ghosts.

It didn't happen to coincide with a widow walking to her mother's house, which was in the next village, but there were two barren mountains on the way, and there was only a path in between.

She should also be unlucky, this night just the moon is dark and the stars are scarce, she hit the kerosene lamp on the road, along the way the mountain insects and strange birds chirped non-stop, there are few families there, plus at that time the oil is like gold, the villagers blew the lights early, what should they do, so at a glance, everywhere is pitch black.

The widow was very bold and not very afraid, and walked most of the way in a hurry, when she passed by a thatched field, when suddenly a cold wind blew, and a mass of white flowers flashed in front of her. The widow was blown by the inexplicable wind on her body, and she couldn't help but shiver, and before she could come back to her senses, she saw something floating in front of her.

The widow did not take it to heart, but thought that she had been dazzled, and held the kerosene lamp in front of her, and began to go on her way again. But she had just walked a few meters away when there was a mass of white flowers floating in front of her, right in the weeds next to her. Although this widow is very bold, she knows that the world is just peaceful, and there are still bandits in the land of poor mountains and bad waters, so she goes out alone, so she has to let people with bad intentions target her?

Thinking of this, the widow's heart was empty, the barren mountains and mountains here, to call the heavens should not be, the earth is not spiritual, while the other party is not killed with a knife, it is better to escape early. The widow was about to spread her feet and run forward, when she suddenly heard a small voice from behind her, like the call of a woman.

At that time, people's hearts were hot, and although the widow did not understand who was shouting behind her, she still stopped, and when she looked back, she was confronted with a pale woman's face, and even if the widow was bold, she was really startled, and took several steps back.

After standing firmly, the widow fixed her eyes and saw that there was a woman in a white dress standing in front of her, very young, at most twenty-five or sixteen years old, and her appearance was also very standard, but her face was pale, giving people a gloomy feeling, and there was a red envelope hooked on the crook of her arm, which was full of srummer, and she didn't know what to pack.

When the woman in white saw the widow coming, her eyes revealed a hint of fierceness, and she didn't speak, but her eyes stared at the widow's belly. After looking at it for a while, the woman in white let out a grim shrill laugh, and then walked in the opposite direction of the widow, there was no light in her dark hands, and I don't know how she saw the way.

At that time, under the leadership of Taizu, people thought that all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods were bullshit, and they were the means of the ancient rulers to play with the people, which was not enough to believe. Therefore, the widow naturally didn't think about it in that direction, and thought that she had met a big girl with a bad head, so she said kindly: "Big sister, this black light is blind, why don't you turn on a kerosene lamp?" ”

The woman in white did not answer, but remained the same as before, and she walked away in fluttering clothes, and soon disappeared from the widow's sight, and the widow did not think much about it, and continued on her way.

When I arrived at my mother's house, I happened to catch up with my father to go out of the watch, so I slept with my mother, and in the middle of the night, the widow suddenly felt that her neck was choked, and she was horrified, and hurriedly took a match to light the lamp, but she reached out to touch the ...... on the table, and the sign smiled mysteriously at us: "Shh! And guess what? ”

I have heard this story before, and naturally I know the ending, so I didn't fall into his trap, but Lao Cai, he was listening to it this time, but he broke it abruptly, so he urged: "What is the sale, hurry up." ”

Biaozi smiled strangely and said: "Suddenly I touched a cold dead man's hand, which frightened the widow and almost wanted her life, but she couldn't make any sound, and it took a lot of effort to kick the old lady awake with her foot." Her wife got together, grabbed it, and lit the kerosene lamp, and when she looked around, there was nothing, and said that the widow must have had a nightmare, and the matter was over. ”

Biaozi shrugged his shoulders and continued: "After three days, the widow's stomach was faintly painful, and within a day, her belly bulged, similar to a pregnant person, but she couldn't give birth to anything, and she didn't see the swelling for a long time, and finally someone said that it was an evil spirit, and what she bumped into that night must be the blood king and female ghost, so she invited the carpenter master in the village to suppress the evil."

The master carpenter looked at everyone present, and then he picked up his axe and slashed it all over the house, and then turned a bowl of runic water and threw it down the earthen wall beside the widow's bed.

After a while, he saw a big mud ball on the earthen wall, and the carpenter scolded: "Tai, you brute is so bold, and you are still competing with the old man, you will definitely be destroyed." And when he had said this, he took the lump of mud and threw it into the brazier which he had prepared beforehand, and suddenly the lump of mud was torn apart, and a great deal of blood came out of it, and the stench overflowed, and the widow was born.

"Guess what's going on?" Biaozi's strange eyes looked at each of us, with a strange expression, this is his old way of creating an atmosphere, I have seen a lot of it before.

Lao Cai said: "If you don't fucking come here, you'll die, hurry up." ”

Biaozi stood up, gestured with his hands left and right, we watched his movements very seriously, and Biaozi suddenly turned around and said, "It's a baby's umbilical cord." After speaking, he pointed to Lao Cai's stomach.

Lao Cai was completely brought into that weird atmosphere by the standard, his sudden movements and answers really startled Lao Cai, stunned for a moment, and then gave the standard a brain breakdown, and scolded with a smile: "You are a king and a calf, you are quite capable!" ”

Then everyone laughed, seeing that the label was good, Lao Cai asked him to talk about another one, and the label was not ambiguous at all, so he said slowly.
