"That's right!" Nick didn't go very decisively, because he only knew that there was a space under the workstation, but he didn't know what this space was for, and he didn't know if anything had changed after so many years. After the impulse passed, Nick's hot mind calmed down: "I'm sorry! β
"Why?" Zhang Xiaofo asked.
"I brought you blindly before I figured it out!" Nick walked ahead of Zhang Xiaofo, as if this would ease the guilt in his heart a little.
"I don't blame you, if I don't want to, you can't take me down by force!" Zhang Xiaofo comforted.
"But you didn't know in advance that there might be no way out of here!" Nick was still guilty.
"You're just suggesting one possibility, and there's another possibility, which is that maybe you can really let me escape?"
"But......" Nick wanted to say something.
"No, but!" Zhang Xiaofo interrupted Nick: "If the road ahead doesn't work, I can turn back." They won't kill me, but you, what if you help me like this? β
"Me?" Nick relaxed: "It's okay, as long as the world still needs to use the Internet, I can make up a new identity for myself at any time!" β
"Then can you help me get a passport to go back to China after I go out?" Zhang Xiaofo asked.
"Absolutely!" Nick is quite confident: "Not only can I get you a passport, but I can also get you a sum of money!" There are a lot of loopholes in those government and government functional departments! Speaking of his major, Nick spoke quickly, and the depressed mood just now was swept away: "After you go out, I will leave these things to me, and I promise to help you get them all right!" β
"Thank you!" Zhang Xiaofo sincerely thanked him.
The passage goes down, and the top keeps getting higher and higher, until it is about four meters high, and it seems that there is no end in sight.
"Is there really no exit here?" Nick was worried again: "The entrance and exit of the basement are usually the same opening!" β
Nick showed the attitude he should have at his age at this time.
"No, it won't!" Zhang Xiaofo denied.
"Why?" Nick's tone was urgent. It seems that I want to give myself confidence immediately.
"Didn't you notice that we've been breathing smoothly since we came in?"
"yes!" After Zhang Xiaofo's reminder, Nick also found out: "Why? β
"This proves that there must be other vents here!"
Zhang Xiaofo's words immediately encouraged Nick.
"yes, I didn't think of that!"
β¦β¦
With the help of the faint light of the handheld, Zhang Xiaofo found that the ground under his feet actually had an arc, the highest in the middle and the lowest on both sides, so the ground was relatively dry, and there was not much water.
"It's like ...... here," Nick said before he said it again.
"Like what?" Zhang Xiaofo asked.
"It should be impossible, it's obviously different!" Nick shook his head and said to himself again, "Impossible! β
"Like what?" Zhang Xiaofo asked.
"Actually, I don't know. It's a bit like a place I've been to before, but I can't remember what it is, but it's sure it's on the ground! β
"That's it!" Zhang Xiaofo sighed: "If you can remember it, it would be the best!" β
"Someone!" Zhang Xiaofo suddenly heard an echo in the passage, and immediately ran desperately forward with Nick.
There is only one way, and there is nowhere to hide, so you can only run forward quickly.
The handheld was accidentally extinguished during the violent running.
Zhang Xiaofo and Nick stumbled on their feet, panting.
"Ahh Suddenly, Nick screamed and fell forward, and Zhang Xiaofo was unstable. He also tripped up.
The handheld is lit up again, and Nick sees what he has tripped over and throws it away.
The handheld glided on the ground for some distance before stopping, with the help of the handheld's faint light. Zhang Xiaofo saw clearly what was in front of themβa dried corpse, a humanoid corpse. Compared to normal humans, the upper limbs are abnormally grown, exceeding the knees, and there is a transparent layer of touch between the fingers and toes. The bridge of the nose is erect, the eye sockets are sunken, and the beak protrudes forward like a bird's beak......
"What is this?" Nick hurried away from the dried corpse.
"A creature!" Although Zhang Xiaofo had never seen this dried corpse before. But he won't be too surprised, after all, anything is possible in his world!
"Shall we go?" Nick asked.
"Of course! Anyway, they came after us, just in time to be our free bodyguards. Now let's take it as an adventure! Zhang Xiaofo deeply felt that it was very tiring to take care of children, especially a genius like Nick who was easily depressed.
"Hmm!"
Zhang Xiaofo's words made Nick regain his courage. This time, Zhang Xiaofo walked in front, and Nick followed behind.
As we went deeper and deeper, there were more and more dried corpses on the ground, some prostrate and a few standing, but all of them were headed forward......
"There's something up ahead!"
Without Nick's reminder, Zhang Xiaofo had already discovered that these dried corpses seemed to be moving in the same direction, but for some reason, they became what they are now.
Nick got closer and closer to Zhang Xiaofo, following behind him, and kept swallowing saliva, as if this could keep his beating heart from jumping out of his throat.
Zhang Xiaofo groped around for a while, and found that he didn't have any weapons, so he could only walk forward hard, and first use all those dried corpses as ornaments.
Both of them thought that the road ahead would become more and more terrifying, but they did not expect that there would be a patch of greenβa vibrant green under the soft sunlight. Many unknown plants are intertwined with each other, and each green leaf is like a green gem...... The contrast between the best in front and the horror behind is stark.
"It's so beautiful!" Nick was bewitched and was about to reach out to touch those plants, but was stopped by Zhang Xiaofo: "Wait! β
"What's wrong?" Nick asked, puzzled.
"This is underground!"
One sentence woke up Nick, and he almost forgot that this was underground, there was no sunlight at all, and it was impossible for green plants to grow. Nick, who came to his senses, took a few steps back with some fear.
β¦β¦
"Hands up!" The people behind came after him.
Zhang Xiaofo raised his hand and gradually turned around: "Lilith!" β
"You ......" Lilith bit her lip, not knowing what to say.
Zhang Xiaofo saw Lilith biting her lip, and she didn't know what was wrong, and her lips also hurt.
"Come back with us, and I'll get the best for you!" Lilith said calmly.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to!" Zhang Xiaofo stared straight behind Lilith. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
