Hao Dong found that the dream he had been having before suddenly continued.

In the dream, he was still three or four years old, running out of the alley, trying to find his mother.

But his mother was not waiting for him at the mouth of the alley, which made him very confused.

Normally, the dream is almost over here, but today there is a continuation later.

Suddenly, he heard a voice coming from behind him. The voice was so strong and weak that he couldn't understand whether it was someone talking or just some unquestionable murmur.

He turned his head to see that the alley behind him was full of thick fog in the miserable white sun, but this time the alley did not twist again, but showed a little light in the middle of the thick fog, as if something was hidden behind the large fog.

Xiao Hao Dong took a curious step back, and then fell into the deep pool.

Hao Dong had never known that he had ever drowned.

When he was dragged into the whirlpool before, he quickly fainted because of the sudden huge water pressure. Although it was not a long time, the air in my lungs was almost completely squeezed out, and when I woke up, I immediately choked on water.

It was pitch black in front of him, but his body could feel himself sinking into the water, someone was swimming with him, some memories in his mind were stimulated, and finally broke through the barrier and appeared.

It's just that underwater is definitely not a good scene for memories.

Hao Dong couldn't tell whether he had a headache or a pain all over his body, and his lungs felt like they were about to explode, but he was still holding back because of the last ray of clarity in his mind, not allowing himself to breathe, so as not to choke again.

Because of the lack of oxygen in the brain, all the scenes recalled were blurred, and I could only vaguely understand that it was about seven or eight years old, on a cruise ship.

There were many blurry figures around, but his mother, who had been standing beside him, suddenly fell under the boat. He shouted in fright, but no one around noticed him.

A man told him that his mother was long gone, but he saw her floating on the water not far away!

The scene in the memory quickly changed, and the next second he was also in the water, and he remembered that he couldn't swim, so he sank hard.

"Mom" floated over and held out her hand to him. Xiao Hao Dong reached out to grab it, but found that the other party was not his mother at all.

The woman had a pale face, wet hair clinging to the sides of her cheeks, and grinned at Hao Dong with a creepy smile. Then he reached out and pressed the top of Xiao Haodong's head and pressed him into the water.

It was seawater, salty and heavy, and Xiao Hao Dong, who had been able to float slightly to the surface of the water by relying on his struggle, immediately had no way to let his nostrils show the surface of the water to breathe.

Memories overlap with reality here, and Hao Dong can't think of anything more, and his whole energy is on his hypoxic state. His consciousness had begun to blur, and there were even bursts of white light in front of him.

The man who was swimming with him seemed to notice his abnormality, a soft touch covering his lips, his teeth being pried open, and air coming in.

Hao Dong subconsciously accepted and expelled the excess carbon dioxide from his nose. The lungs were still uncomfortable, but they had eased slightly. This little room for relaxation made him persevere, waiting until the moment when the water broke out.

As soon as he came out of the water, the person was still in the crook of someone else's arm, and he couldn't help coughing.

There is no way, this is the conditioned reflex of the body, suddenly out of the oxygen-deficient environment, a large amount of air into the lungs, and people basically can't control it.

For a while, Hao Dong lost his ability to perceive the surrounding environment, and the only good thing was that he coughed up a lot of salty water that he had just choked on.

It was easy to catch his breath, only to find that there seemed to be a little light around him, and he himself was still leaning on Qi Jue's arms.

Qi Jue gently patted his back with his left hand to help him calm down, but his right hand held the deception. The arm was raised and retracted, the straight blade reflecting a faint light, glowing white, and the tip of the sword pointed at the darkness in front of them.

It's a posture ready to attack.

Hao Dong was coughing almost at this time, and when he finally stopped, he realized that something seemed to be panting like him. The direction that Xiao Qi Ye's sword tip pointed in was the direction in which the wheezing sound came.

Hao Dong didn't have time to think about the thing that he almost drowned just now, he just felt that his hairs stood on end immediately.

This place seems to be very transparent, and a little wind blows from time to time, which can make him shiver with cold. At the same time, there was a little bit of blood in the wind, which made it even more unsettling.

The thing on the other side didn't make him scared in vain, and soon there was movement. There was a small sound of footsteps, followed by a sudden, very poignant "squeak", and a quadruped larger than a cat with a long tail pounced.

That thing seems to know how persimmons should be picked up softly, and the target is not Qi Jue but Hao Dong.

Seeing that the thing was about to scratch his face almost instantly, the silver light of the deception flashed in the dimness, and Hao Dong was immediately splashed with warm and smelly blood.

There was no time to give him a sluggish moment, and the squeaks almost followed, and the sound of Suosuo's footsteps became more and more dense.

Qi Jue quickly carried Hao Dong to his left shoulder, stood still under his feet, and his right hand flew up, swinging through layers of sword light, sweeping out piece by piece, constantly approaching forward.

Patches of blood lotus suddenly bloomed all around, and it didn't take long for the smell of blood to be so strong that Hao Dong, who was already in the stomach, couldn't help but vomit.

It's a pity that his stomach was blocked, and the person's head was downward, and he could barely vomit, so he could only choke on acid water and pour it into his nose, and then choked on a lot of snot and tears.

At this time, his eyes had basically adapted to the environment, although it was not very clear, but the general situation was already clear.

The place they were in seemed to be an island in the middle of a lake, and they had just come ashore, and now they were slowly walking inside. And the people who attacked them turned out to be all water rats.

He had never seen such a big water rat in his life, and among the corpses of the rats who were cut in two and killed by the frost, the smallest was estimated to be five or six pounds.

These dead rats were soaked in blood, and nothing else could be seen clearly, but the fangs reflected a faint fluorescent green light in the dimness, as if they had been quenched with poison.

This effectively prevented Hao Dong from continuing to gag, because he was so shocked that he almost subconsciously held his breath again. It's just that just like that, the pain in my lungs began to grow again.

Fortunately, with Qi Jue's large-scale killing, there were more and more dead rats, and those who were alive finally stopped attacking, and the sound of plopping and jumping into the surrounding water became more and more intensive, and after a while, finally the army of water rats in this place retreated.

Qi Jue looked around and confirmed that this place was safe for the time being, so he put Hao Dong down: "Are you okay?" ”

Hao Dong vomited and choked on his back just now, and he heard it very clearly, and at this time, seeing Hao Dong's face turned white, he couldn't help but be a little worried.

Hao Dong sat on the ground and covered his stomach, nauseous for a while before gasping for breath: "No, it's okay......"

Then there was some panic: "Where is this?" What happened? ”

Qi Jue gave him a pulse for a while, and felt that except for being frightened and drowning, Hao Dong should not have suffered any particularly serious injuries, so he spoke: "This is the island in the middle of the lake under Qinghai Lake. The camp was attacked. ”

There is also an island in the middle of the lake under Qinghai Lake, this kind of thing Hao Dong has never even thought about before. But for now, he is more concerned about the situation on the ground: "Attacked? By whom? ”

Qi Jue didn't answer Hao Dong immediately, but took it out of his pocket for a while, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the number.

After the phone was connected, it was picked up after a while, and the queen's somewhat tired voice came: "Where did you and Hao Dong go?" ”

Qi Jue answered the question with a question: "Are you okay there?" ”

Obviously, the queen's voice was a little distorted when she heard this question: "It's okay! Zhao Zheng's troops arrived. ”

Qi Jue said "um" before reporting their current position to the queen: "We have reached the bottom of the lake, and there is no way to go back the same way, I will see if there is a way out first, and then contact you." ”

The queen was silent for a moment before a word popped out: "Good." ”

After a pause, he added, "Be careful yourself." ”

Qi Jue was refreshing, replied with the word "good", and pinched the phone directly. They are now falling here, the future is unknown, and they can't be charged here, and the mobile phone can be used as little as possible.

Hao Dong had already taken a rough look at the surrounding environment during Qi Jue's call.

It seems to be an underground cave, not very high, at least the top can be roughly seen in this dim environment. But the width should be considerable, and when you look around, except for the faintly sparkling water, there is a black patch beyond it, and it seems to be endless.

It was impossible for Qi Jue to prepare in advance when he jumped into the water to save him, but fortunately, he had a lot of pockets in his jacket, and each pocket also had a zipper, and there were a lot of things stuffed in it.

After putting the phone back, he fumbled around his body for a while, found a powerful cold light stick, twisted it a few times, and finally the hole lit up.

Seeing the surrounding situation clearly, Hao Dong couldn't help but feel nauseous again.

Although as a cook, he would not be afraid of the slaughter, but it was a bit of a challenge because there were so many corpses of the water rats. He really didn't expect that Qi Jue's lethality would be so great.

The island in the middle of the lake where they were located should actually be just a slightly larger reef protruding from the lake, but in this less than 100 square meters, there are hundreds of fresh rat corpses piled up.

Even because the thing was relatively large, a layer of about half a meter thick was piled up on the ground. The flesh is blurry, and the smell of fish is tangy.

Fortunately, it seems that there are no obvious aggressive creatures in the water here, otherwise so much fresh blood would be enough to attract even more terrifying enemies.

Hao Dong frowned, he remembered what Qi Jue said on the phone just now, it seems that Xiao Qi Ye is not sure how to leave here.

He didn't know how he ended up in the lake, but he knew he had almost nothing on him. So, if they can get out earlier, it's fine, but if they can't, how can they survive in this environment?

As a qualified cook, his gaze naturally fell on the corpses of those water rats, but the thought of this possibility was another thrill.

Aside from anything else, these things are all full of germs, and they will definitely not be suitable for eating animals.
