Chapter 8: The Devil Hidden Underground

If you can live a little longer, count it for a while.

Holding on to this last hope, Lin Xi desperately crawled to the deepest part of the fiber optic pipe.

Although he didn't know what unknown dangers awaited him in that dark underground, the only thought in his heart now was to keep crawling, crawling, crawling!

The faster you climb, the better, and the farther you climb, the better!

The thought dominated his body like a nightmare, making him flee far away from the bloody jaw filled with the smell of death and rancidity!

Seeing that the fat meat near its mouth was about to flee again, the giant dog was also furious in an instant, only to see its two muscular hind legs kick hard, and the flying earth was like an earth dragon rising into the air, shooting straight into the air, and then before it landed, it was blown away by the wind swept up by the clouds of death, and the manhole wall, which had already collapsed more than half, was finally completely bulldozed in this kick, turning into a gentle slope that was easy to stand on.

"Whew!"

With the tremendous force of kicking open the wall of the manhole, the giant dog let out a roar of rage, and regardless of it, he crashed headlong into the narrow fiber optic pipe!

The rumbling loud bang exploded, and the brute force of the giant dog exerted an extremely terrifying effect at this moment, where its head passed, the cement and dirt were instantly separated like butter under a hot knife, and its huge body seemed to be transformed into a wild dragon, shaking its head and tail, and advancing fiercely, until most of its body rushed into the pipe, the momentum was finally completely exhausted, and it slowly stopped, and at this time, it had rushed to less than ten centimeters away from Lin Xi again, the most prominent fang, It was even shallowly stabbed on Lin Xi's soles!

"Ahh

Feeling the foreign object pierced into the heart of his foot, Lin Xi suddenly let out a high-pitched scream.

In the next second, he kicked backwards without looking, and kicked out hard, and he himself used the power of this kick to crawl deeper into the pipe.

This time, the giant dog can't catch up even if he has great ability.

The physiological structure of the canine family is destined to have enough stamina to dig the passage little by little, and can only watch Lin Xi's obscene back disappear into the darkness at the end of the field of vision little by little, such a reality is really a great humiliation for the giant dog who already has preliminary wisdom!

"Whew!"

The giant dog let out a wolf-like roar again.

This roar went down the straight pipe and directly into Lin Xi's ears, but even though he knew that he was temporarily safe, the viciousness and hatred contained in that cry still made him shudder excitedly.

"It seems that you have to be more careful when you come out to find food in the future, otherwise if you are blocked by this goods again, I am afraid that there will not even be a whole corpse."

Lin Xi gasped twice, and with a snap, he collapsed directly to the ground.

The cold cement pipe wall was clinging to his sweat-soaked back, which made him feel a little vigilant.

"No, the environment here is too cold, you have to leave quickly, otherwise you will have to get sick if you stay for a long time, this ghost world, if you get sick, you can't even find medicine, you can only wait for death."

Unfortunately, just as he could barely support his body, a feeling of weakness suddenly surged out from among the hundreds of limbs, knocking him to the ground in an instant.

It turned out that the desperate escape just now had completely exhausted the energy of the grassroots and cockroach meat, and now his physical condition has fallen to the point where it is worse than when he first came out to forage for food.

"It's over, it's dead."

As soon as he realized this, Lin Xi immediately collapsed to the ground in despair.

The appearance of the [digestion] ability gave him a keen grasp of his hunger and physical exertion.

He knew very well that with the little physical strength he had left now, even if a great miracle occurred and the giant dog group disappeared immediately, he might not be able to leave this hunting ground alive, not to mention all kinds of other predators, just the journey back to the dormitory was almost an impossible task for him.

The furious dog was still venting his anger frantically outside the pipes, its flamboyant claws dancing like a storm, tossing the shattered dirt in all directions, and even in the depths of the tunnel, you could smell the dust in bursts of air.

But these things have nothing to do with Lin Xi anymore.

After thinking that he would die here, he simply stopped struggling, and just lay quietly on the ground, letting his physical strength pass silently bit by bit, the hard cement slab pressed the dry flesh and skin, and then constantly collided with the bones, rubbing out bursts of piercing soreness.

He doesn't care anymore.

Or to put it a little more hypocritically, only this feeling of soreness can make him feel that he is really alive, and not that he has become a corpse that has died in the dark underground, waiting for the future to slowly mold and stink, rot and grow maggots.

"Isn't it said that people remember their lives before they die? Why didn't I? ”

Lin Xi's eyes widened, staring at the roof of the pipe not far in front of him, and thought boredly.

"Does that mean I'm not going to die?"

He comforted himself with Ah Q's spirit, but even this little comfort was quickly and cruelly rejected by his cold reason, because in this desperate situation, no matter how he racked his brains, he never imagined any chance to break the game, as if there were countless forks in the road in front of him, but the end of each road was eventually to death.

There's no way out, really.

So, he simply didn't think about anything, and just watched calmly.

This was probably the first time he had been in a daze since the cataclysm, but he didn't expect to be so close to death.

"Alas......"

Lin Xi suddenly let out a long sigh and stopped moving.

In the deep darkness, the arc-shaped concrete wall seems to have a special sense of oppression, but it inexplicably makes people feel a little reassured.

Structurally speaking, this arched structure itself is the most able to withstand external forces, and if it does not encounter forces dozens of times beyond the limit, then the pipeline will hardly have the risk of collapse.

For at least the next ten years, it will remain in its original shape, hugging the earth tightly.

In that case, it would be enough for one person to rot quietly inside, and it looks like a tomb in shape......

"Phew! Good luck! Good luck! ”

Suddenly, Lin Xi's whole body was shocked, and he suddenly woke up from the fantasy of death, and hurriedly took two mouthfuls vigorously, quickly expelling this unlucky thought from his mind.

However, at this time, he suddenly noticed that the environment around him seemed to have changed slightly.

Like, the walls of the pipes are shaking?

"Hey, what's going on......"

He quickly turned over with difficulty, and pressed his face down against the ground.

Sure enough, the sensitive facial skin quickly gave him a definite feedback, he really didn't feel wrong before, the whole pipe, no, the whole soil layer, was shaking slightly.

Judging from the feeling, the source of this vibration should be deeper underground, but at this moment, this epicenter is rapidly approaching the surface, because in the short ten seconds that he is lying on the ground to perceive, the vibration of the surrounding pipes is rapidly becoming more and more intense, and now even if he does not deliberately perceive it, he can see with the naked eye that the dust in the cracks of the cement pipeline is rising high under this vibration, and it is soaring from the darkness!

"I ...... Wipe! ”

Lin Xi showed a strange expression on his face, and muttered, "Damn, a prehistoric monster......

Immediately after, before his words fell, a loud bang suddenly exploded from the giant dog behind him!

Rumble!

Endless clouds of dust erupt like volcanic eruptions, rising from the ground and soaring into the sky!

Bang!

At the same time, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and the snow-bright electric light illuminated the entire dim world in an instant!

With the extreme brightness of this moment, Lin Xi seemed to vaguely see that in that thick smoke cloud, there seemed to be half a smooth giant brown-black cylinder lurking.

That diameter is probably wider than a small car!
