Chapter Ninety-Four: The T-Junction
Hearing squad leader Liu's judgment, my brain felt like it exploded. What kind of world is this, we are actually driven by a swarm of insects like livestock. Ever since I was chased by this group of bugs, I have lost my ability to judge space, and the direction of my escape has gradually changed from being directional, to being panicked. But I really believe in squad leader Liu's ability to judge space, so as soon as he said this judgment, my head collapsed on the spot.
Although it is a matter of life and death for us to run aimlessly, it is acceptable to die even if we die in the end compared to drilling into the trap laid by the insects. In an instant I went into a state of madness, and my mind was in a state of confusion, and I just felt that I would rather die here than be the prey of these ugly bugs and fall into the trap they have laid.
"Fight with them!" I shouted, stopped, and aimed my gun at the passage of the black hole behind me.
Squad Leader Liu was very excited about my plan to give it a go, and was the first to express his support, "Give me the torch and burn these bastards." ”
Hu Aiguo lost the support of me and squad leader Liu, shook his body and said, "What should I do?" ”
His words knocked me out. Squad Leader Liu and I still have the ability to fight with these bugs, Hu Aiguo and Platoon Leader Zhao can't even do it desperately, do I want to watch them be eaten by bugs? Squad Leader Liu's hand grabbing the torch also paused, and a painful expression appeared on his excited face.
"Grass." Squad Leader Liu scolded loudly and withdrew his hand.
I picked up Hu Aiguo, pushed Zhao Platoon Commander and shouted, "Run." ”
This is a helpless situation, even if I have the heart to die, it is impossible to let these soldiers die with me, and I have to do my best to save them. The insects drove us to our destination, and I don't have to guess to know that it must be their nest, and they want to use a few of us as a breeding bed and food for the larvae. Of course, I don't know the habits of these insects, but I don't think there is a more reasonable explanation for them when they have the ability to encircle and suppress us, but they leave us with a way to escape. Unless there are more terrible results waiting for us.
Squad Leader Liu had an aggrieved and depressed expression on his face, and when he could finally prove himself SOman through death, he had to die in this way, and this blow was conceivable. I was also in a bad mood, and I couldn't bear this kind of aggrieved death, and I was already thinking about how to distribute the last few bullets, and the only thing I knew for sure was that the last bullet was reserved for me.
The more you run, the more you can prove the correctness of squad leader Liu's judgment. Driven by the swarm, we were running in a zigzag line. Losing the motivation to escape, our speed inevitably slowed down, and I felt exhausted, just a mechanical step. I am waiting for that moment to come, the moment when I can exhaust my physical strength and no longer be able to take steps, and the moment when I can say to Hu Aiguo with a clear conscience: "I have done my best". At that moment, I'll pour bullets from the gun into this bunch of damn bugs, and of course, I'll leave four bullets behind. I think that by that time, no one wants to die a painful death under the bite of insects.
The swarm behind us was already faster than us, and we could hear them approaching clearly. But the strange thing is that every time we pass through a fork in the road, the swarm that appears in the other passage is always very punctual, and it will never appear earlier than the previous one. The fierce competition between the two swarms always meets accurately at the fork in the road, and the fierce competition between them just happens to buy us a little precious time so that we don't get caught up by the swarm behind us. It's as if it had been accurately calculated.
What is driving these bugs? Gradually, I couldn't believe that it was the autonomous behavior of these bugs.
We finally stopped before a three-way intersection. Yes, I had a hard time moving, and I couldn't stand up when I collapsed. The spirit is also basically broken, there is no fear of death at all, only how to die. But these are not the reasons why we stopped, the reason why we stopped was this fork in the road.
Since entering this passage labyrinth, the forks we have encountered are all zigzag three-way intersections, and this time what appeared in front of us was a T-shaped intersection, as if a hole was opened in the passage wall on our left, and a huge passage appeared. The passage was dark, and on the wall of the cave in the direction we were heading was a large arrow.
I let the bugs behind me approach, and I watched the cut-haired stupe. Although this arrow looks freshly drawn, at a glance, you can tell that it is not from Xiao Guolin's hand, could it be made by Song Guilong? Or the power behind the swarm. As long as it is not from Xiao Guolin's hand, no matter who did it, I will not trust it.
I probed and asked squad leader Liu: "Can you still know the general direction of our plan?" ”
Squad leader Liu immediately said: "It's not the arrow that indicates the direction. This direction is relatively close. As he spoke, he pointed to the fork in the road.
"Get in," I said without hesitation.
This passage is roughly the same as the one we walked through, and it is very tall. Not long after I left, I heard squad leader Liu say, "Why is it so cold? ”
I felt it when he said that. Indeed, the further you go, the lower the temperature in the passage, especially when the sweaty clothes are pressed against your body, you feel that your body is cold all of a sudden.
I wiped my sweat and said, "The temperature has dropped a little, just wipe the sweat off your body." ”
"It's useless to me." Squad leader Liu shouted angrily: "The ground is too cold, much cooler than the air temperature." ”
Surprised, I touched the wall of the cave with my hand, and indeed, it was cooler than the air. Looking at Squad Leader Liu's exaggerated raised feet, I didn't know how to comfort him, and of course I didn't consider taking off my shoes for him. Die decently, and don't suffer any more pain before death is already my bottom line.
"Hold on, just get through this paragraph." I nodded to squad leader Liu and said solemnly.
"Brush" squad leader Liu and Hu Aiguo turned their heads to me at the same time. There was obvious contempt in his eyes.
Platoon Commander Zhao turned around inophinarily and said, "It's colder ahead." ”
"Grab the torch." I was so angry that I almost kicked him. Will you die if you don't speak.
Sure enough, the further you run, the colder it gets. Cold air poured up from the bottom of the wide dressing gown, giving me goosebumps all over my body. Frozen eggs hurt.
The low temperature seemed to have a greater impact on the insects, and the voices behind them became more manic and chaotic, and the insects instantly accelerated towards us like crazy. Stimulated by this louder and louder sound, even if we were shivering from the cold, we didn't dare to slow down in the slightest and ran forward desperately.
I didn't look back, but I could feel that if I stopped for a moment, I would be overwhelmed by the swarm.
PS: Busy, there is almost no rest time these days, except for work is code words, and the rules of life are disrupted. Ask for comfort.
