This non-answering answer of his, made me almost jump. It almost crushed me, too.

He and Cao Mingzhe always insisted that Song Guilong was still alive, which made me unbelievable and incomprehensible. It's been too long, and Song Guilong has been in Lop Nur underground for too long. For such a long time, if it were me, I think, I would have died a long time ago.

But the two of them never gave up, and they have been working hard to find Song Guilong. Today, I actually got the news of Song Guilong from Xiao Guolin's mouth, how can this not make me collapse!

"Are you sure it's him?"

"Of course."

"Where did you see him? He... What do you think. ”

"It's inside that rocky forest." Xiao Guolin turned his face to the metal door again. He suddenly appeared in my flashlight and looked at me for a moment, and I was a little confused and stunned. When I called out to him, he turned and ran.

I made a very selfish move, yes, and it seems that my behavior has hurt my teammates so far. Without thinking, I ran after him into the depths of the Stone Forest.

He's running fast, and I'm going to do everything I can to keep him from getting rid of him. There's no way my team can keep up with us.

I walked around the rocky forest for a long time to find my teammates, and by the time I reached the side of the embankment, I had run out of lighting and food.

At that time, I could choose to walk along one side of the embankment out of the rocky forest, but instead of doing so, I climbed straight down. ”

"You gave up on your teammates."

"It's not giving up, it's not being able to bear and be unable to face them."

"Why? I don't understand. ”

"As I said, I got lost in the rocky forest, and I wandered around it for a long time."

"How long? Few days? ”

"Not for a few days. It's a three-digit number. ”

I asked incredulously, "You've been trapped inside for hundreds of days?" ”

"You can understand how I felt now. Here, you, me, and the other Awakened can survive without eating or drinking for long periods of time, but they can't. I don't want to face the team members who have become dry corpses. ”

"How long has it been since you eaten? Why can't I? I mean, I don't think I can last a few days without eating or drinking. I'm feeling hungry right now, and it's impossible to survive too long without food. ”

"You can." Xiao Guolin glanced back at me. gestured to Ah San, who was still lying on the ground. "He can too. When the heat in your body is consumed to a certain threshold, and your own storage cannot meet the consumption, you will absorb energy from this space. Of course, there will be a painful process. The depletion of your own calories and the change in the way you absorb energy can make you feel like you're in pain. But it's good to survive, at least it will keep you alive. ”

Xiao Guolin said very mysteriously. It's a bit of a fantasy. But I decided to fast from now on, and this is the only way I can prove that what he said is true. I can't verify everything he said before.

Looking at his face, my heart involuntarily tightened. The price of absorbing the energy here is not to become such a ghost. I had to figure this out, I didn't want to be like this.

"Old Xiao, your face... It has nothing to do with absorbing the energy here, right? ”

Xiao Guolin shook his head. "I told you that my face and the skin on my body are corroded by the water outside. The transformation of the way energy is absorbed is a torture of physical function and spirit, if it can. I advise you not to try. Although you can't die, it's not much different from dying once. ”

Hearing this, my heart trembled. But I put this topic down right away, and I have more topics to care about.

"You didn't catch up with Song Guilong?"

"Nope. I caught up with him. Well... It should be said that he led me somewhere. ”

"And then?" I asked nervously.

"He told me to go, let me get out of here."

My mind gradually moved away from shock and suspicion, and immediately thought of a possibility. "Song Guilong has a way to get out of here?"

"Yes." Xiao Guolin nodded.

"You asked me to take Xiao Ting and these people away, just leave through the method provided by Song Guilong."

"Yes."

"Is it possible?"

"It should work."

I took a deep breath. "Then why don't you get out of here?"

Xiao Guolin leaned on a stone-like pestle in front of the metal door. didn't look back, and stood silently for a long time. He sighed and said, "I can't go." ”

"Why?" I asked, staring at the back of his bare head. "Lao Xiao, you didn't dare to try the road, let me and your daughter go to the road, it will kill your daughter."

Xiao Guolin turned his head, still without expression on his face. I thought my words would make him mad, or at least upset. I'm upset right now. Didn't want to take care of his emotions.

"Not what you think. Xiao Zhang. Xiao Guolin raised his eyes and looked somewhere behind me, according to memory, Xiao Ting should be in that direction.

Yes, he was looking at Xiao Ting, although I didn't turn around. But I saw kindness in Xiao Guolin's eyes.

Xiao Guolin quickly withdrew his gaze from behind me, looked at me silently for a while, and said, "The main thing is that I don't plan to go back this time." I have done everything I could, including the preparations for you and the paving of the way.

Song Guilong led me to the mouth of a cave. It's a very small hole that requires a cat to bend down to get in. From here, he said, the ground floor can be reached.

He'd gone in and explored, and it wasn't straight to the ground, and there was still a little unfinished, but it was close enough to dig up to the ground quickly. ”

Xiao Guolin turned around, pointed to the half-cut knife that was still in my hand and said, "This knife was given to me by Song Guilong, and he asked me to leave here as soon as possible." Use this knife to dig the last stretch of the road. “

I glanced down at the half-broken knife. The surface and section are black and swarthy, without the luster of metal, more like a stone knife. But it's quite heavy, about the same as the weight of a brick.

"Of course I couldn't run away alone, so I didn't plan to leave. But I didn't want my team to bury me, so I went back to my team. Unfortunately, I didn't find it and got lost quickly.

There was no straight path to go through that chaotic stone forest, and it was impossible to determine the direction at all, like a big labyrinth, and many times I went around in circles in a range.

Of course I made marks along the way, but can you understand my frustration when I make three marks in the same place? I'm constantly walking back to square one, but I can't get out of the rocky forest.

It was also at this time that I found myself able to maintain my strength without eating or drinking. The process is painful and the consequences are terrible. ”

"The consequences? Have sequelae? I hurriedly interrupted Xiao Guolin's words and asked.

I have plans to try to absorb the energy mode of transformation, of course, I have to figure out the stakes, don't be confused, it's too late to regret it.

"Yes, for me there is."

"What consequences?"

"I can't live without it. Or rather, I can't get out of here alive. ”

"Grass. Lao Xiao, aren't you cheating on me? I'm going to give it a try. (To be continued.) )
