"Huhuhuhu"

I raised my hand to wipe away the sweat that blurred my eyes, and tried to calm my breath in vain.

The process of crossing the lake has been on the surface of the water, and it is never hot. But it doesn't take into account that it doesn't look like a forest, sheltered by trees and leaves. Even though there are heavy clouds in the sky that block the refraction of the sun's rays, the sun is still hot after being weakened by the clouds, and the temperature is still scorching on us, which is no lower than walking in the forest.

We've been on the lake for three and a half hours, and we're getting closer and closer to the center. Now we can clearly see that the middle of the lake is a small island, and the island is not big, just the size of a cave. It is not accurate to say that it is a cave, because it looks more like a monolithic boulder, and it should be that the entrance to the cave is a flat and smooth stone wall. And at the top of what should be the entrance of the cave is the familiar sign - "e".

The brightness of the "e" is the same as the one on our wrists, and it can be speculated that when we die two more people, the two symbols will become the standard brightness together, and then the smooth stone wall will be like the door of the Forty Thieves, and the symbol on the wrist will be the "Sesame Door" that opens the door of the cave.

In the two and a half hours since the last time what I thought was a school of fish, they had appeared three or four more times, each time we had no idea if it was really useful to keep quiet, hoping not to attract their attention. Luckily every time they didn't attack us, but they appeared and left, as if they were just moving normally, really just passing by, and didn't attack us as expected.

So we all moved on, and we continued to be silent. The raft wasn't very big, and it was still a little crowded carrying the eight of us, but no one spoke, no one spoke.

I think everybody has the same question about the shadow, why didn't it attack, why we weren't in danger now, if we could get to the island safely as long as we didn't alarm them, if we were wrong, we could all survive.

A lot of questions haunt my heart, and I also haunt everyone's heart. It's just that we all know that when it comes to the greatest possibility, these doubts are all because we are still lucky.

Death itself is not terrible, after all, it is just a thing that everyone will eventually experience, just like birth.

Human beings are thinking creatures, and death may mean the disappearance of all their own thinking, or simply a change of form of existence to continue thinking. I don't know if the soul exists, maybe no one knows, but it doesn't matter.

When we fear death, we are not afraid of death itself, we are just afraid of loss.

When you are afraid of dying, you lose everything you already have, and when you are afraid of dying, you cannot have more.

Death itself is not terrible, but loss.

It's just that many people don't understand that living is a process of constant loss.

We may be able to have something for a certain period of time, but we will lose it after a while.

The so-called life is a thing that is constantly lost and constantly accepted to lose.

And now, we have become gamblers, betting on whether it is others or ourselves who will lose everything.

Those who win bets live, and those who lose bets stay here forever to feed the fish.

I stopped wiping Lin Ya's body, raised my head and looked at the sky, there was no sun, a large area of slightly gray clouds, I didn't expect Fang Ruoxi to say this, I admit that I do feel more at ease because of Lu Haisheng's existence, but I am definitely not afraid of danger or feel that it doesn't matter if I feel dangerous.

"Everything I say is sincere." I tried to argue, "We are partners who have experienced danger together, and no matter what danger there is, we all bear it together, and I believe that no one would want their companion to die!" ”

"Oh? Is there no one? Fang Ruoxi pursed her lips, crossed her hands around her chest, and showed a contemptuous smile, "I'm also curious, when you said this, were you really naïve enough to think that what you said was the truth?" Or are you actually deceiving yourself? I've never thought you're stupid, and I don't believe you really can't guess everyone's mind here. ”

"That's it! That's enough! ”

Before I could respond, Lu Haisheng interrupted our argument by speaking first.

Lu Haisheng: "Our time is to be used to cross the lake, not to make you quarrel!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to Fang Ruoxi and gave him a warning look, "If you really think that everyone is looking forward to danger and someone will die, then I don't recommend fulfilling your conjecture." I could kill you right now, and I'll be able to fulfill everyone's wishes, wouldn't I? ”

I was startled by Lu Haisheng's words, and subconsciously looked at him, only to see him pursing his lips slightly, his facial muscles tense, and his slightly narrowed eyes were full of warnings.

In fact, I can't tell whether Lu Haisheng's words are just a warning or if he is really ready to do that, but fortunately, Fang Ruoxi doesn't seem to have the courage to verify it, so he just snorted unconvincedly and turned his head away and didn't say anything more. This also made me breathe a sigh of relief, to be honest, I really don't understand Lu Haisheng now, I'm not sure if he really wants to escape here quickly. Whether they will kill people in order to keep anyone alive, I really don't know.

Honestly, I'm struggling and hesitant right now, even though I know I should make a decision sooner rather than later, but I still don't really know.

After pushing the raft onto the surface of the lake, everyone sat on the raft. The first thing Lu Haisheng did after putting Lin Ya on the raft was to ask Yu Pu to wipe Lin Ya to cool down, and I took over the job first.

After touching Lin Ya's body, I knew why Lu Haisheng did that, the temperature on Lin Ya's body was hotter than last night, the cloth stained with water rubbed on his skin, and before the wet place could dry out, those tiny water droplets became warm. I'm really worried now that Lin Ya can hold on. The scorching temperature seemed to express a kind of alarm, and maybe in the next second, Lin Ya would no longer need the word "support".

It was Lu Haisheng and Li Sheng who were paddling, and the paddles used for paddling were prepared before. The raft carried the eight of us slowly across the lake.

It was the first time I had sailed on a lake like this, and although I had rowed my own before, it was the first time I had ridden on a raft.

Of course, there is a difference between the two. When you take the boat, at least there are baffles on both sides of the boat, and you know very well that there is no danger in the lake and you are safe. But here, sitting on a raft now, is completely different.

It was called a raft, but it was actually just a row of logs, and when everyone sat on it, most of the wood sank into the water. There could not have been any baffles on either side of the raft, but fortunately it was a lake, and the water was calm and there was no violent flow, so that the water on both sides did not overflow. But even so, I didn't dare look at the edge of the raft.

The water of this lake is not clear, but black, muddy water, and the visibility is very low, and it is difficult to see what is inside, aquatic plants, or fish, and you can't see anything clearly.

I don't know if it's because of the visibility, the lake water gives me a deep feeling, that dull and turbid black, and even makes me have the illusion of bottomlessness, as if there is no bottom under the lake, but an untouchable black hole

Lu Haisheng and Li Sheng paddled the water with homemade wood pulp, the raft was getting farther and farther away from the shore, and the surroundings were still calm, as if the lake was just a dead lake, and there were no creatures living in it.

I looked at the black lake and turned back to look away, and even though the lake was calm now, I knew very well that it was only "seemingly" calm.

I don't believe there are any creatures in the lake, but I'm thankful that there are no monsters or other mutated species in the lake.

You know, I watched those crocodiles burrow into the lake yesterday. Judging from the calmness of the lake, it doesn't look like the water will flow in a large stream, so since those crocodiles live in this lake, there must be other creatures living here as well.

What's more, according to the law that every time there is no rain, we will encounter a danger and take a person's life, and the danger in this lake is just not yet coming.

I wiped Lin Ya's body, and I couldn't help but feel more and more worried about him in my heart. Lin Ya's physical condition made me feel uneasy, whether it was a high fever, a black wound, or an unconscious consciousness. High fever and wounds would have cost him his life, and being unconscious might be a reason for others to seek his life.

I don't know if you've ever had such an experience, but in an environment where there are no references or no references at all, it is difficult to accurately estimate the distance that the eye will see. It's like the sign we see now, it doesn't seem too far away, but when we actually move forward, we find that it becomes extremely far away. We've been driving for more than ten minutes, and we're already far from the lake, but the sign doesn't get bigger in our field of vision at all.

We are still far from the middle of the lake.

We are still far from escaping.

Chapter 239: The Island of Eclipse Rain (44)

I always thought I was a person who loved water.

Of course, the water I'm talking about is that clean, clear liquid.

Maybe there is no smell, maybe there is some unique smell of disinfectant, or there is a faint salty smell with the wind, but it will not make people feel unpleasant, only feel fresh.

But the water I love is not the dirty, smelly things in front of me.
