Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Bunch of Stuff
A huge stone pillar appeared before our eyes, not far from the water, unattainable, and submerged into the invisible darkness. The stone pillars are at least three meters in diameter and seem to be the pillars that support this underground world. Countless large worms were swarming down the stone pillar, as if they had been ordered to rush in the direction of the cave entrance. Only a few came to us, and they were also lit by Platoon Commander Zhao.
I knew at a glance that those ironclad tide worms could not fill the stomachs of all the big worms, and we must be the food for stock. I'm completely out of tricks, I feel like it's a dead end in front and back, and it's going to die ugly.
Even so, no one dared to turn back. Compared to the ironclad tide insects in the passage, there is at least a temporary respite here, and there is also the option to jump into the water, although they will all die, but at least there is a chance to choose the way to die, and this attraction alone is enough.
Watching the big worms rushing towards the entrance of the cave, the four of us quickened our pace and left the huge stone pillar. I can't even look up to it now, I can guess what the roof of the cave looks like, it must be a kingdom of worms, and countless large worms have been instructed to eat, and are pouring down the passage that connects the dome.
We had to walk along the water's edge, because it was the only one that had direction, and if we left it, I wasn't sure if I would find my way, if I would get lost in the darkness, or even walk back to the cave and send myself to the mouths of two swarms of bugs. Also, I'm hoping to find a boat near the water, which should give us the best chance of survival, but the chances of finding a boat are too small.
After leaving the Optimus Pillar far away, Platoon Commander Zhao returned to his madman style, walking at a fast speed, as if he was desperate to get rid of us. Squad Leader Liu and I have to keep calling him in the back, so that he will wait for us a little. I think if this continues, the three of us will definitely be killed by him. Just then, the torches in front of him stopped. It was an accident, and for the first time, the torch did not stop under our shouting and scolding.
I held my breath and prepared to catch up with him and squirt him first, and then deprive him of his right to lead the way. It seems that his physical strength has recovered well and he can bear a certain amount of pressure, so leave Hu Aiguo to him.
The three of us panted and walked in the direction of the torch, the closer we got to the firelight, the more depressed and uneasy we became, there were some things under the torches, and Platoon Commander Zhao was standing in front of them. He had his back to us, and I couldn't see his expression, but he kept a distance from the pile, watching from an unreachable distance.
My attention was immediately attracted by what was in front of Platoon Commander Zhao, and I forgot for a moment the idea of spraying him first. As I approached, I saw that the pile seemed to be moving, not very much, but it was clearly a living thing. My heart tugged again, what a monster this was.
I have to say that squad leader Liu is sharp-eyed, I just saw that platoon leader Zhao was a living creature in front of him, and squad leader Liu shouted: "It's a person on the ground, and he has a fucking bare ass." ”
The first thing that came to my mind was impossible, and then I couldn't help but draw a beautiful picture in my mind. Could it be that this is what stunned Platoon Commander Zhao?
I want to slap myself, what time is it, and the hormones are surging, and the sperm is on the brain.
The moment the pile was clear, my tears flowed down my face. It's Xiao Guolin and Cao Mingzhe.
I don't know what happened to them, I can't imagine it. Cao Mingzhe curled up like a shrimp, his clothes were torn and hung on his body, his face was pale, he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't see his vital signs. Xiao Guolin simply lay naked on his side on the ground, and the robe turned into a sleeping bag on his body didn't know when, where, and why it disappeared. However, the robe temporarily changed from the sleeping bag was originally very reluctant to be put on the body, and it was normal to fall off in danger, and it was not difficult to understand that Cao Mingzhe's clothes were broken like that, and his sleeping bag was gone.
Xiao Guolin had obvious vital signs, one hand was slightly raised and swinging, his mouth was slightly open and closed, but he couldn't make a sound, and his eyes were cloudy and he looked at the firelight.
I was about to go crazy, so I ran over and roared at Platoon Commander Zhao first: "What are you doing here? Don't you hurry up and come to the rescue, do you want to watch them die?! ”
Squad Leader Liu put down Hu Aiguo, quickly took off his coat and put it on Xiao Guolin, and immediately rushed to check Xiao Guolin and Cao Mingzhe.
Platoon Commander Zhao defended in an imperceptible voice: "I'm afraid..."
My anger erupted like a volcano, and even though I knew it wasn't the time to go crazy, I spewed him in a rage. At this time, squad leader Liu spoke: "It's hypothermia." Brother Qiang, Captain Xiao has something to say. ”
I threw down Platoon Commander Zhao and leaned down, and when I touched it, there was not much temperature on the two of them, especially Cao Mingzhe, who was breathing weakly and breathing.
"Let's rescue urgently, otherwise Cao Mingzhe will be saved." I said to squad leader Liu.
Team Leader Liu was not hypocritical, and took Cao Mingzhe in his arms and started artificial respiration. Xiao Guolin made a "gurgling" sound in his throat, but he couldn't speak. I put my arms around him, unscrewed the kettle, took a sip of water, and put it in his mouth.
This mouthful of warm water made Xiao Guolin a little angry, and he could make an intermittent voice in his throat: "Don't... Go ahead. Return... Go, go back... In the passage..."
"Why? There are bugs in the passage, you don't know. We were chased by the bugs, and there were, and we had to find a safe place. Is it safe in the passage? I asked urgently.
From Xiao Guolin's words, I heard strange information, it seems that there is something more dangerous here or in front of it, but the danger in the passage is not lower than here. The question now was whether he knew there was danger in the passage, and if not, his suggestion was not worth taking. If we know, it means that the danger outside is much higher than inside the passage, and then we need to reconsider our plans.
Xiao Guolin's hand suddenly grabbed me, like a person about to sink into the water, and grabbed me with all his strength. "Go back right away. Right away! The sentence was coherent and forceful, and seemed to drain all his life force. Then, Xiao Guolin tilted his head back and lost his reaction.
We don't have a choice. Here we are all losing our body temperature rapidly, and there is no possibility of increasing the body temperature of both of them. Returning to the relatively high temperature passage became the only way out.
I looked at squad leader Liu, he nodded to me, it seems that we really have a tacit understanding, he knows what I mean without talking.
"Platoon Commander Zhao, what do you say?" I turned my head to Platoon Commander Zhao.
Platoon Commander Zhao was still in a state of being sprayed by me, nodded Mu Ran, and did not forget to explain: "I really wanted to save them, but I was scared at the time." “
I waved my hand, "Xiaohu, you have no opinion." “
Seeking Hu Aiguo's opinion was democratic and fair out of the collective will, and he still relied on the assistance of others for his current activities, so he really had no ability to oppose it.
PS: No way, I worked hard to get out of this chapter, please forgive me for being a little late.
