After three or four seconds, the light of the flashlight returned to normal, Xu Wuji was still standing in front of the bronze door, with that strange look on his face, I turned my head to look, the passage behind me didn't seem to have changed, the right-angle positions of these four areas should be the same, I thought.

Standing up, I smiled and said, "Old Xu, we should be in the fourth area now, right?" ”

Xu Wuji smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid, we're still in the third area." ”

I was surprised, "How is that possible?" Wasn't this portal already spinning? You can't stand still, right? ”

Xu Wuji didn't bother to argue with me, pointed in the direction of the passage, and raised his chin at me, meaning that I should walk ahead and look.

I walked a few suspicious steps, and soon I believed what Xu Wuji said, because I saw the handwriting I had left for Xiao Qingcheng on the wall, and I found the remains of a giant rat on the ground, which I had killed with a shotgun in the first place.

A feeling of powerlessness instantly swept through my body, and I finally understood why Xu Wuji had such an expression in front of the bronze door.

I couldn't help but exclaim, "What the hell is going on? ”

Xu Wuji smiled bitterly: "If I knew what was going on, I would have gone out a long time ago." ”

After a moment, without saying a word, I turned around and walked to the bronze door, took out my knife and poked at the ring switch in the middle of the copper door.

Xu Wuji seemed to know what I was going to do, and silently walked to the side of the passage and looked at me from a distance.

Three circles on the left and three circles on the right.

There was a burst of darkness, and there was a tremor of the ground accompanied by a rumbling sound.

The lights were on, and when I looked back, Xu Wuji was standing behind me with his hands on his chest and looking at me with a wry smile on his face.

, come again.

Three circles on the left and three circles on the right.

There was another burst of darkness, and there was a trembling sound underground.

Looking back, Xu Wuji was still standing in place, but the bitter smile on his face was even stronger: "Brother Zhengnan, in the past ten years, I have opened this mechanism at least tens of thousands of times, and the result is like this every time, this passage is a dead loop, useless, and can't get out." ”

I also knew at the moment that what he said was true, but I couldn't help but try again, and after a period of darkness, I saw Xu Wuji's bitter face again.

"I/Grass the!" scolded viciously, stopped trying, walked back to Xu Wuji, squatted on the ground, and smoked silently.

Seeing this, Xu Wuji also squatted beside me, I handed over a cigarette, and the two chatted a lot, and finally asked casually: "I said, Old Xu, you have been underground for ten years, how did you survive?" How did you become like this? ”

There are just the two of us in front of us, so there is no such thing as speaking that hurts or hurts self-esteem. Self-esteem, the more people there are, the fewer people the less people take it seriously, to take the simplest example, you/mom scolds you at home, you will only take it for granted, but if you/mom scolds you in public, your self-esteem will be like fireworks. Self-esteem, by and large, that's what it is.

Xu Wuji smiled faintly: "Actually, one sentence can explain these two problems, in the past ten years, I have survived by eating these mice." ”

If you eat a mouse, you will become a mouse? It doesn't seem to have any scientific basis, does it? However, the mice in this underground are all so big, and it is not necessarily a mutation, and Xu Wuji ate their flesh and mutated.

Damn, Lao Tzu was bitten by a mouse, won't he also mutate into Xu Wuji? Trying to control himself from thinking about this question, he asked instead, "You four brothers, what happened ten years ago?" ”

"When the four of us brothers first entered the place, we thought it was a treasure, so we made a vertical hole in the outside and hung it down with a rope. According to the division of labor, Wanli guarded the exit, and the remaining three of us went in to hunt for treasure. Just went in not far away, this group of rats rushed over, the three of us were naturally desperate to run back, halfway the second was pounced on the ground, the group of rats immediately swarmed up and gnawed him, I quickly turned around to save, but could not be saved at all, less than half a minute, the second body was exposed everywhere bones. Seeing that there was no help, there was no choice but to continue running. Speaking of this, Xu Wuji let out a long sigh, seeing his brother being devoured by the giant rat, but he couldn't do anything about it, this feeling must not be very good.

I gave Xu Wuji a thumbs up in my heart, after all, I had faced this group of rats, and in that case, I still had the courage to turn around and save my brother, and this courage and righteousness were worthy of admiration. There was a faint hint of something wrong in my heart, but this thought flashed through me and I didn't pay attention to it.

"When I got to the exit, the fourth bastard didn't know where to go, and Wanli stood under the exit rubbing his big / legs. When I asked, it turned out that when the fourth beast was climbing the rope, he used too much force in a panic and ripped off the thousands of miles outside. Next, he asked Wanli to stand below, and after he stepped on Wanli's shoulders and climbed up, he ran away regardless of whether we were still below. This kind of beast, it's really blind to worship him. Xu Wuji snorted.

"Damn, that guy isn't a thing!" I chimed in. But he muttered in his heart, isn't Wang Badan's pronunciation a bastard, knowing that he is a bastard, do you still want to worship him? Defect!

"If that's all it takes, it's an instinct to survive, and I don't have much resentment." Xu Wuji's face changed, and he gradually became hideous.

"Could it be that he is doing something?" I asked, surprised.

Xu Wuji continued hatefully: "That exit is almost five meters high from the ground, I want to step on my shoulder, push Wanli to the entrance of the cave, after Wanli goes up, I will throw the rope to him, he pulls me, you can climb up." By this time, rats had already started to pounce on me. However, what I never expected was that the fourth bastard was afraid that the rats would jump out, so he actually blew up the exit with explosives on it, which was the last time I saw the light of the sky, and the last time I saw Wanli's frightened and inexplicable face, because he happened to see me being dragged into the darkness by the rats. ”

I remembered the words of the fifth brother, no wonder he was vague when he talked about the fourth brother, and his face was strange, presumably because of this matter. And that Wang Bashan felt a little guilty in his heart, so much so that when he saw the black cat on a motorcycle, he was angry that the black cat didn't eat mice, which caused him to overturn and die.

I told Xu Wuji about Wang Ba's single overturn, Xu Wuji was stunned, and couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "Retribution!" Retribution! ”

"How did you survive?" I'm curious. Xu Wuji, Xu Wuji, how did you discuss with the rats and ask them not to eat you, and they were willing to be eaten by you.

"I don't know what's going on, when I was being dragged to the ground by the rats, there was suddenly an extra energy on my body, and with this energy, the rats stopped biting me, and I survived by eating these mice." Xu Wuji shook his head and remained silent.

"There's a question I don't know if I should ask." I thought about it for a moment, and I felt that my doubts could not be dispelled.

"Huh?"

"Weren't you in the entrance area? How did you get to the third area? ”

"After the rat didn't bite me, I thought Wanli would save me immediately, but I waited for several days, and I didn't see Wanli come in, and I thought he was killed by Wang Badan, so I turned around in the passage, and it was also by chance that I discovered the secret of the copper door, opened the copper door, and rotated me here, and since then, I have never gone out." Xu Wuji smiled bitterly.

It's your Wanli brother who has lost his courage and doesn't dare to come in again, of course, I won't say such a thing. I had to change the subject: "These rats, how did they survive until now?" Rats have to eat, right? ”

Xu Wuji smiled, got up and said, "Follow me!" ”

Led me to the hall, Xu Wuji walked to the bronze pillar in the middle, and knocked on the dragon pattern of the copper pillar with his hand, and that place actually made an empty sound, obviously, that place was hollow. When he reached out, he uncovered a flap, revealing a basketball-sized hole inside.

After showing it to me, Xu Wuji put down the flap, knocked a few more times, and there was a faint sound of things rolling, bonely, and finally there was a ping pong, a gray thing hit the flap and fell out, rolled around on the ground, screamed, and quickly disappeared into the passage.

It turned out to be a giant rat.

"See? As soon as I knock this place, a mouse will fall out. The corners of Xu Wuji's mouth twitched: "It's like the bell of the canteen, as long as you knock, there will be rats falling." ”

"Is there someone over there?" I couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, no one pays attention to what I talk about anyway, and I can't climb out." Xu Wuji smiled: "Zhengnan, soon, you will start eating rat meat with me!" ”

"I don't want to eat it!" I pulled a pack of cookies out of my pouch, "I've got enough to eat for weeks!" ”

Xu Wuji already knew about the space bag on my body, and it was not unusual, so he just smiled and said, "What about a few weeks later?" ”

"Let's talk about it!" I said fiercely, and made up my mind, damn, if Lao Tzu becomes like you, Lao Tzu would rather commit suicide.

I told him about the changes outside in the past ten years, and he told me about some strange things that I encountered when I robbed tombs before, and I was most interested in the fact that the four brothers met zombies, and shook my head to express puzzlement: "I heard that zombies have a lot of strength, is this true?" ”

Xu Wuji nodded: "Yes, the strength is indeed very strong." ”

"You can even beat zombies, but you can't beat rats?"

"There is only one zombie, and the activity is not very flexible, that mouse is a group as soon as it comes out, and you will see the bones when you bite it, who do you say is powerful?" Xu Wuji pointed to the wound on my shoulder, "You are also a master, haven't you been bitten by these rats and your flesh and blood are blurred?" ”
