Chapter 199 The Island of Eclipse Rain (5) The rain stops

I was almost about to scream, but I subconsciously covered my mouth so that I didn't really scream, and looked back at the resting people in the cave behind me, and it took a lot of effort to dissipate the scream in my throat.

Thinking back to the previous situation, the situation outside the cave should not have just happened, at least Yu Pu and Lin Ya must have known about it. And they didn't warn me about it, nor did they warn me about anything, which is enough to show that the situation outside the cave is not dangerous.

After making sure that there was no danger, I steadied myself, and then I held back my nausea and looked carefully out of the cave.

The rain was still falling outside the cave, and the trees were no different from before, and the culprit that almost screamed came from the ground, which was densely crawled with insects, and I don't know how many there were.

I could clearly feel goosebumps on my body, and I could even feel my hairs standing on end. If you don't look closely, you will only think that it is a black ground, but if you look closely, you will find that it is thousands of insects spreading a black carpet on the ground.

Different species, different shapes, and even though I made careful identification, I still didn't see any of the insects that I had the impression I had ever seen.

After carefully observing for a while to determine which insects only move in the rain and do not crawl into the hole, I dared to stand on the edge of the hole and watch the rain curtain outside.

The more I looked at the rain, the more worried I became, whether it was the nitric acid rain or the beetles that moved on these rainy days, or the species of trees here, it seemed that they were not creatures that I knew, so I inferred that the ecosystem here may be completely different from what I had knew.

The unfamiliar environment, the unfamiliar ecosystem, which means that we have lost most of our biological knowledge base, and even be careful not to be misled by the original cognition, which undoubtedly increases the danger of this room.

I felt a little tired from covering my mouth and nose with my right hand, so I raised my left hand and replaced my right hand for a short rest, and when my right arm was lowered, I seemed to see something on my wrist in the faint light.

I was slightly stunned, raised my right hand to my eyes, squinted my eyes and looked closely, only to realize that there was indeed something on my wrist. When I saw what was on my wrist, I was shocked.

It was a sign that I could no longer be familiar with, a symbol of both danger and hope – the "e".

I couldn't help but get closer, almost touching my eyes to my wrist, and the "e" was on my wrist, like a tattoo, but it didn't have any color, and I wouldn't notice it if I didn't look closely. I touched it with my fingers, and there was no bump in it, it seemed to appear out of thin air, and it was as if it had been there all along.

What does this "e" stand for? Is this room a clue? Is it just me? Or does everyone have it?

Filled with doubts, I looked back at the people inside the cave, and was about to check to see if anyone else had this sign, but I noticed something strange outside the cave.

If you don't know that these insects exist, it is easy to think that this sound is also the sound of rain, but until the existence of these insects and listen carefully, you will hear a subtle difference between the sound of rain.

And now, all of a sudden, the sound is a little louder, and the frequency is a little faster.

I turned my head to look out of the cave, and it was clear that the bugs were moving faster and fewer in number. From completely covering the ground to covering sporadically, and then completely disappearing, I don't know where they are hiding.

I was thinking about what the disappearance of the bugs meant, when I saw the rain curtain outside the cave quickly shrink and finally stop completely.

I was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly turned around and prepared to go to the cave to wake everyone up, but as soon as I turned my head, I saw that Lu Haisheng had woken up and was getting up from the ground.

"The rain has stopped?" Lu Haisheng stood up and asked me as he walked in the direction of the cave, "I heard the sound of the rain disappear. ”

"Ah, stopped."

Although I knew that Lu Haisheng was also different from ordinary people when he slept, I didn't expect him to be so sharp. To be honest, the sound of the rain was not too loud, and I really didn't expect that such a small change as the sound of the rain would be noticed by him and wake up.

"Wake them up, we're going to go for water now."

Lu Haisheng looked at the situation outside the cave, walked out of the cave and tried it before saying to me.

I said yes and walked into the cave to wake up the others, glancing at the watch in my hand, they had only rested for less than an hour.

Wake everyone up one by one and tell them we're going to go while the rain stops. Everyone knew very well that survival in the room was much more important than comfort, so no one complained about anything, and they all cooperated to pack their things and walk out of the hole.

The only thing that was a little troublesome was Yu Pu, he slept very deeply, I called him several times but didn't wake him up, and finally pushed him several times to wake him up.

"Yu Pu? Are you feeling okay? I looked at Yu Pu and frowned slightly as if he couldn't open his eyes, "How are you?" Are you tired? ”

Yu Pu didn't seem to be very conscious, and looked at me blankly for a few seconds before he slowly said, "No, I'm fine." ”

My frown was still not opened, and I always felt that he was in a very wrong state, but since he said that it was okay, then I didn't want to delve into it, so I just nodded lightly and returned the pocket watch to him.

"Here, your watch."

Yu Pu agreed, and reached out to take it. Seeing him get up from the ground, staggering as if he was about to fall in the next second, I was really scared into a cold sweat, helped him to stand up, and after repeatedly confirming that he was okay, we walked out of the cave together.

Probably because it had just rained, the smell of nitric acid outside was very strong, and everyone re-wet the cloth covering their mouths and noses, and then discussed it, thinking about the water flow that they had observed before, and walked on the low side.

When leaving, you can still see the obvious group difference, I, Lu Haisheng, Lin Ya, Yu Pu and Fang Ruoxi are five people walking in front, one or two meters behind is Chen Si, and then there are five people including Wen Shiming. I looked up at the sky, there was no moon, no stars, the sky was full of dark clouds, looking at this sky, it should be night now, only a little light, enough for us to see that there are trees and not to collide.

I still remember the mark on my wrist that I saw earlier, but this light is impossible to see until I get close. I can't be sure if that mark is unique to me yet, if so, at least I don't want the five people behind me to know, but just so far away, if I deliberately check Lu Haisheng's wrists, and there is no reasonable reason, then it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of those five people.

This mark represents a clue to escape, and I can't expose it until I'm sure those five people are harmless.

"Don't leave."

The sound of a call around me interrupted my train of thought, and I followed the sound and realized that it was Yu Pu.

"What's Yupu? You okay? I was startled when I saw Yu Pu's appearance, he seemed to be very tired, and he kept nodding his head, and it was obvious that he was trying to open his eyes, but he still couldn't open them.

"Time"

"What?"

Yu Pu gave me his pocket watch, muttering slurred words, and I asked suspiciously, trying to hear what he had said.

"It rained for 6 hours"

"Yu Pu? Yu Pu! Are you okay? Feed! ”

As soon as Yu Pu said a few words, the whole person suddenly fainted and fell in my direction. I hurriedly reached out to hold him and called out his name.

Although Yu Pu is relatively thin, he is also an adult man after all, and I can only barely support his body with all my strength to prevent him from falling to the ground. When he was struggling to support, he felt that the gravity on his body was light, and when he looked closely, he found that it was Lu Haisheng who took Yu Pu over.

"What's wrong with him?" Lu Haisheng asked with a frown.

I shook my head, "I don't know, he fainted suddenly, could it be that he didn't recover because he had taken too much nitric acid before and didn't rest for long?" ”

"His breathing was steady, not like a problem with nitric acid." It was Wen Shiming who interjected, and because Yu Pu fainted, almost everyone stopped marching and came around, she continued, "It looks like he's just asleep, isn't he resting well?" ”

Just asleep? I looked at Yu Pu and frowned, thinking about the situation when I woke him up before, this explanation seemed to make sense, but how could he be so tired that he walked and fell asleep directly?

"I don't see anything else, just wait and see if he can wake up on his own." Lu Haisheng checked Yu Pu's situation and said, "We can't stop because of him, Lin Ya will help me carry the bag, I'll carry him and continue to move forward." ”

"Hey."

Lin Ya agreed, took the backpack on Lu Haisheng's body, and I also helped to help Yu Pu onto Lu Haisheng's back. When I helped Yu Pu up, I remembered the mark on my wrist, and took this opportunity to check Yu Pu's right wrist.

Yu Pu's right wrist also has the same symbol - "e"

Yu Pu also has! My heart moved, but my face didn't show it, but I silently pondered the meaning of this sign. I have it on my wrist, and Yu Pu has it on my wrist, so does it mean that all of us have such a symbol on our wrists? The sign is very secret and colorless, like the sign on the escape gate before the conditions are met. What does this mean?

"Mo Li?"

"Huh?" Lu Haisheng's call made me come back from my contemplation, and when I turned my head to look at him, I was still a little confused, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Haisheng glanced at me and raised his eyebrows, "Let me ask you what Yu Pu said to you just now." ”

"Oh, that," I remembered what Yu Pu had just said to me, and recalled carefully, "I didn't hear what he said in fits and starts, but I remember what time, rain, and six hours it was?" Wait for six hours of rain? ”

I suddenly understood what Yu Pu was going to say.

"He's saying that the sulfuric acid rain lasted exactly six hours!"
