At this time, these ants were slowly crawling towards the corpse's face, and under the fluorescent irradiation of the ants, the corpse's pitch-black, distorted face looked even more eerie.

The corpse's mouth still made that terrible sound—a crying and laughing gurgling sound, exactly the same as the sound of an ant, as if it were summoning ants with this call.

When the first ant crawled to the mouth of the corpse, suddenly, I saw the corpse suddenly open its mouth wide, and the ant obediently crawled into the corpse's mouth, and at the moment when the ant crawled in, I saw the corpse immediately close its mouth, and then chewed it in a big gulp.

While the corpse was eating the first ant, the second was already crawling on the corpse's mouth and waiting.

"It's bad, if the ants are all eaten, how can we get out", Xiao Lei said anxiously. In the past, he had generally been able to calm down no matter what danger he faced, but this time he seemed to be a little panicked.

I was more panicked than he was, so much so that I broke out in a cold sweat. Do you want to go up and stop it? But then we could be attacked by blind people or other monsters, who are in the shadows and we are in the light, so if we are attacked, it will be extremely difficult for us to defend ourselves.

But if we don't go out and stop it, if the ten or so ants are completely eaten, our worst fear will happen - we will never be able to get out again, and we will be trapped alive in the hole.

But the bigger dilemma we face is that even if we come out to stop the corpse from eating the ants, how do we stop it? The corpse is on such a high rock wall, we can't climb up at all, even if we use a small flamethrower to burn the corpse, but it is very likely that we will burn all those ants to death, and it still won't solve the problem.

What should I do? Time passed minute by minute, and now, the corpse had begun to eat the fourth ant! Then the fifth and sixth ......, when he ate the eighth, Xiao Lei seemed to feel that he couldn't stand by anymore, he didn't care about the danger of being attacked, but suddenly stood out from behind the stone, and then took the flashlight, and walked over quickly, I know, he wanted to stop the corpse from continuing to eat ants.

I know that this is already a life-or-death moment. Therefore, after seeing Xiao Lei rush out, I no longer hesitated, and followed closely - if I would be trapped alive in the hole, it would be better to fight hard.

When we came to the bottom of the corpse, we took the flashlight, and looked up anxiously, Xiao Lei handed me the flashlight and asked me to shine it, and then he tried to climb up, but the rock wall around this was too smooth to have any fulcrum at all. I looked at my watch, and it was only five minutes before the ants returned to the cave! If you can't stop the corpse from eating the ants within these five minutes, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Xiao Lei, there are five minutes left!" I reminded Xiao Lei in a low voice.

Xiao Lei nodded and anxiously observed the surroundings of the rock wall, hoping to find a way to climb up. But depending on the condition of the surrounding stone walls, there is no way to climb up without ladders or the like.

A few minutes left, what do we do? I found that Xiao Lei, who has always been resourceful, seemed to be a little panicked at this time, which made me even more nervous and scared.

Suddenly, Xiao Lei seemed to think of something, and immediately asked me to squat down on the rock wall first, and I immediately understood his intention - he wanted to step on my shoulders to see if he could reach the corpse's feet, and if he could reach the feet, he might be able to pull the corpse down, and that might stop the corpse from continuing to eat ants.

I didn't dare to delay in the slightest, so I put my flashlight on the stone next to me, and then squatted down against the rock wall. After Xiao Lei stepped on my shoulders with his feet, he asked urgently: "How is it, Xiao Ming, can you stand up?" ”

"No problem" I inhaled, strained my legs, and slowly straightened up. I could feel Xiao Lei standing on my shoulder, trying to push up, I gritted my teeth, held my breath, and tried to stand firm.

"How's that, can you get to the corpse's feet?"

"It's still more than ten centimeters away, you stand firm, I'll jump up and try, after I jump, you dodge."

Hearing Xiao Lei say this, my whole body muscles immediately tensed, and I felt Xiao Lei's feet kick my shoulders violently, and as soon as his feet left, I hurriedly ran a few steps to the side.

Before I had time to look up, Xiao Lei fell, and my first reaction was that it didn't work. Xiao Lei didn't catch the corpse's feet at all.

So, I hurriedly ran over and squatted on the ground again, and shouted: "Xiao Lei, try again, the time is coming soon."

But at this time, Xiao Lei stood there, motionless, and then said with a long sigh in an unusually lost voice: "No need, the last ant has been eaten by the corpse."

Hearing him say this, I felt like I had been splashed with cold water, so I hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, I found that there were no ants on the corpse! The last ant had crawled into its mouth, and it was munching on it.

At this moment, I sat on the ground like a deflated ball, and my mind went blank. Are we really going to die in this cave?

It suddenly occurred to me that this cave was like a tomb, and it suffocated me—that it might really be our grave, that we were going to die alive here. I was almost breathless with a sense of despair and fear that I had never felt before, and I couldn't help but ask myself over and over again: Are we going to die this way?

This kind of death is even more painful, so it's better to give me a knife.

Xiao Lei was quite calm at this time - although he was also very disappointed - he quickly picked up the flashlight next to him and extinguished it, pulled me to a hidden place in the dark, and comforted me in a low voice: "Do you know what is most important to survive in danger? It is the will to survive. Cheer up and remember that we will never give up until the last minute."

He seemed to have calmed down at the moment, and his voice seemed unusually calm and calm. After he said this, I felt a little better. But the ants leading the way are dead, how do we get out? Xiao Lei may not be able to do anything at the moment.

At this time, the anxious inquiries of Hongmei and Sister Li came from the walkie-talkie: "How is the situation over there, it's time to get out of the hole, why haven't the ants come back yet?" Are there any surprises? ”

I wanted to lie and comfort them both, but I opened my mouth a few times, but I couldn't say a word. And Xiao Lei took the walkie-talkie and said calmly: "It's a bit of an accident here, but don't worry, we'll solve it soon, don't move there first, let alone walk around, the situation in the cave is very complicated."

The two of them may have sensed that things were not going well, but they didn't ask anything more.

Xiao Lei and I were in the dark, no one spoke, although I couldn't see his expression, but I could guess that he must also be full of weight at the moment, concentrating, thinking of a way to get out.

My mind was in turmoil, the fear of death came in waves, my heart was consumed by heart-rending pain, and I really wanted to scream in this dark, desperate, oppressive cave, and maybe feel better.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Xiao Lei in the dark, as if talking to himself: "Maybe there is a way." As if grasping a life-saving straw, I asked excitedly and incoherently: "What's the way, oops, you're so good, Xiao Lei, say it quickly."

Xiao Lei didn't answer my question, but as if he was completely immersed in his own thoughts, he suddenly asked me thoughtlessly: "Xiao Ming, where is the bottle with corpse worms?" ”。

I listened to him ask, although I still didn't understand why he was looking for the bottle, but I vaguely felt that according to Xiao Lei's thinking, that bottle might be useful for us to escape from the cave.

In that state of extreme despair, even if there is a glimmer of hope, people will be as excited as if they had been stimulated.

So, I suddenly came to my senses and hurried to find the bottle, but fortunately our range of activities was not large, and it was all within these seven or eight square meters. Because the situation was so urgent, we weren't very prepared for an attack, and we were all wearing stab-proof suits, so we should be able to resist even darts or something.

Soon, we found the corpse worm on a rock. Under the light of the flashlight, as soon as Xiao Lei saw the bottle, he immediately pounced, and looked into the bottle with great eagerness - this did not seem to be his usual calm and calm style.

Before I could ask anything, he suddenly let out a sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness, there are still a few chrysalis in the bottle." I leaned over and looked: sure enough, there were still a few pupae in the bottle, some of which were about to turn into those strange butterflies, and some of which were not moving at all.

It's no wonder that there are too many corpse insects in the bottle, and the speed at which they "develop into butterflies" is very different, and the speed varies greatly. So it's normal to have a few chrysalis left in the bottle.

Xiao Lei hurriedly took out the bottle cap from his pocket and covered it. And held it in his hand like a baby, looked at it carefully, and then said very strictly: "Whether we can go out or not depends on these chrysalis."

What made me more and more confused by his words, relying on these chrysalis to get out? How can it be? Could it be that Xiao Lei is joking? But looking at his serious face, I knew that he must have really figured out a way to escape from this cave.

"Let's go, let's hurry to the place where Hongmei and Sister Li stay, only when we get there, can we know the method I thought of and whether it is feasible", said as he walked quickly in the direction we came.

At this time, he had already extinguished the flashlight, and instead turned on the fluorescent flashlight with relatively low brightness - even if we walked a distance of several hundred meters, we still tried not to expose ourselves to reduce the possibility of being attacked.

We soon returned to the vast part of the cave, like the museum hall, and beyond that we were the most terrifying labyrinth part of the cave.

After following those ants and passing through that part of the labyrinth, we learned more about the horror of the "labyrinth" - in the countless bifurcations and bends, if we are careless and break away from the ant guide, we will be lost in the maze forever, we will never be able to get out again, we will be trapped alive in it, and the bones that can be seen everywhere in the maze are the inevitable consequences of being lost in the maze.

Sister Li and Hongmei saw that we had returned safely, so they walked out of the hideout, although they were only separated for a few hours, it was as if they had experienced a life-and-death parting.

At this time, we were not embarrassed, but naturally hugged each other in pairs - Xiao Lei and Hongmei, me and Sister Li. Sister Li's maternal body fragrance, as well as her soft and sexy body, relieved my original restlessness and fear a lot.

But I still can't think of what method Xiao Lei will use to let us escape from the cave?
