This outcome we have thought of, arguably the worst we can think of.

According to our assumptions, the ironclad tide worms cannot withstand the cold outside the passage, and even a section close to the entrance of the passage is enough to incapacitate them. The large worms outside the corresponding passage will not be able to adapt to the temperature inside the passage, and they will not penetrate or even enter the passage, so that the balance will be formed. Then the distance from the passage mouth to the passage with higher temperature should be safe, and we can get temporary safety here, and we can make final decisions or struggles here.

But these damn bugs didn't play their cards according to common sense, and we didn't run back long before we heard a "whoosh" sound from the direction of the hole that shook our eardrums. The ultrasonic-like vibration sound emitted by the worm was materialized in the passage.

Listening to the sound of death coming from both sides of the body, I didn't have the confidence to continue running, I felt that there was no point in doing so, but I was thinking about how to die without too much pain. At this time, I suddenly heard Hu Aiguo's voice in front of me: "There is a road here." ”

We ran in along the left side of the passage, and we ran back on the same side. When I ran into the passage, I had to touch the wall of the hole on this side with one hand, otherwise I wouldn't know if I hit the wall. Then run back, there can be no other way here, and if there is a road, it can only be on the opposite side of the cave wall.

I was worried that I would miss the junction and that this would be my only chance, so I shouted, "Don't go in yet, wait for me." ”

As I spoke, I left the cave wall and felt the other way.

At this time, Hu Aiguo shouted again: "We didn't enter, watch my lighter run." ”

Immediately afterwards, there was a faint light in front of him. The flame of a lighter is small, especially if it is a disposable lighter, but in extremely dark environments, this light can also illuminate a certain area, at least as a directional effect. But when I saw this little fire, and the small area illuminated by this little firelight, the chill in my heart rushed all the way to the tail vertebrae, and my body was numb.

Under the firelight, I saw Hu Aiguo and squad leader Liu standing side by side, their faces were uniformly iron blue, and there was a fork in the road behind them that was smaller than the passage. I think both of them and Xiao Guolin, who was supported by squad leader Liu, felt extremely frightened, because this fork in the road appeared on the left side when we came, and it was the side that each of us touched and walked on.

I walked over and faced the two of them, but also the new fork in the road. I stretched out a hand from the ear of squad leader Liu and touched the cold stone wall of the fork, which was a hard stone. No one could have carved a passage through such a hard stone wall in such a short time. And this fork stone wall is the same as any stone wall we have walked on, it is something with a number of years, and it is definitely not a temporary excavation.

But when I came, I did touch the wall of the cave on this side, even if there were occasional times when my left hand couldn't touch it, but the gap was very small, and it was impossible to miss such a large distance. None of this is something I can comprehend and explain, just to make sure that this passage is not an illusion.

I withdrew my hand and looked at the three people opposite.

Team Leader Liu shook his head first, looked at me with lost eyes and did not speak. We already had a certain tacit understanding, and the message in his eyes was that I hadn't noticed this fork in the road. We've got the hell this time.

Cao Guolin said with certainty: "This fork in the road appeared in no more than ten minutes. ”

Hu Aiguo was relatively calm: "I kept running with squad leader Liu just now, and I didn't pay attention to whether there was a fork in the road. Running back I was at the first and I found this intersection. I don't know anything, but do we have any other choice? ”

yes, do we have any other choice?

The noisy voices in front and back of the passage are getting denser and closer. Even if this passage leads to purgatory, we can only jump into it. I said in a trembling voice that I couldn't help myself, "Go in, unless you want to feed the bugs." ”

After speaking, I squeezed between squad leader Liu and Hu Aiguo, and rushed into the fork without looking back. As for what choices others will make, I am powerless to interfere. I don't think I'm taking the right step, maybe I'll live a little longer at best. What I can't export the most is that the consequences of entering this passage are hardly said to be more tragic than those who are lucky to die in the mouth of the worm.

In particular, squad leader Liu's fear of ghosts and gods makes me believe that he will make more extreme choices. Hopelessness or despair for the future made me give up persuading him and let him choose his own path.

This passage has one thing in common with the passage that preceded it, which is that it is hellish black. I didn't run along the side because I didn't think the passage would be too deep and I was more likely to hit my head at the end of the passage than to get lost. Also, I don't think that squad leader Liu and Hu Aiguo will follow up so quickly, especially squad leader Liu, the possibility of him entering this channel is too small. Since you no longer worry about losing your teammates, there is no need to discern the path.

To my surprise, I entered the passage for a moment, and I heard two different footsteps behind me, and squad leader Liu actually entered this passage, which really surprised me.

Before I could wake up from the accident and react to it, something happened that I didn't expect.

I stepped into the passage a little earlier than squad leader Liu and Hu Aiguo, and it could only be a little, and I guess it wouldn't be more than five seconds in advance, because if they were a little later, I wouldn't have heard their footsteps so clearly.

Soon after the sound of their footsteps reached my ears, my ears suddenly fell silent. It's not that you can't hear footsteps, it's not that everything has disappeared, but you can only hear footsteps. It was as if in an empty hall, without anything or sound, only three footsteps that were unusually clear and harsh.

My nerves tensed for a moment, and then they quieted down. I already have a hunch and mental preparation, entering this passage will not be calm, no matter what is about to appear, I hope it will appear sooner, it is better to be tormented by fear than to face the danger directly. I was prepared for the worst.

The next moment, a flash of lightning appeared in front of my eyes, and it came.

This white lightning bolt appeared right in front of me, and it didn't strike my head, but it seemed like a door had been split. Before I could react, I rushed into the white light of the lightning. And at this moment, there was a scene in front of my eyes that I couldn't believe.

PS: This time was really torture for me, I was busy with work, I was not feeling well, and the story was at a tense moment again. I think I'm harder than Brother Strong. Thank you all for your support, thank you for the blue tarot tip. I'm insisting.
