Chapter 23: Survival Force

My first reaction was to duck my face back, and then instinctively use my hand to grasp something stuck to my face, but when my hand touched the cold object, a strong sense of fear arose, it was a slimy ball of flesh, like an inner lump of flesh without epidermis. 『**Words*Love**

For a while, my brain was blank, and I immediately lost my original calm, and I didn't care what I touched, I turned around and ran towards the back, I didn't care about anything, this time there was no temptation, and I didn't know where I was running, in short, I was running wildly in the dark, and there was an idea in my mind, get out of here quickly.

I don't know if the thing has caught up, and I don't dare to stop looking back, but it's too dark here, not to say that it's chasing it, even if it's standing in front of my eyes, I can't even see it. The thought of this dark horror instantly broke out on my forehead, and even so, I didn't stop, and spreading my legs was a miracle run.

As I ran, I felt like I was running downhill, and although the slope was not steep, it was clearly felt. Just as I was about to slow down, suddenly I felt something was wrong under my feet, and there was a softness under the dirt, and then, the dirt under my feet collapsed like an earthquake, and I didn't even shout a word, and the dirt was already up to my head.

I immediately used my hands to scratch at the dirt around me, trying to catch something, as the saying goes, I am not afraid of stepping on the wind, but I am afraid of grasping the air with my hands. At this time, I could only go up by grasping something with both hands, but fortunately, the collapsed hole was not big, and soon I mastered my balance, and my two arms stretched out from side to side, just enough to support my body. 『**Words*Love**

Although I didn't fall now, it was not easy to get up, and I had to climb up as soon as possible, or I would probably not be able to hold on for a few minutes in this position, and even if I could, the dirt under my arm would be enough to hold on.

But the more anxious he is, the more he can't climb up, the whole lower body is in a suspended state, tried a few times, but couldn't kick things, can't step on things under the soles of his feet, he can only rely on the strength of his arms, but now the two arms don't dare to bend at all, once the arms reduce the load-bearing range, and worry that the surrounding soil will not be able to bear and slide down.

After thinking about it, I gritted my teeth and said in my heart, fight hard, instead of hanging in the air like this, I have to fall down for a while, then it is better to try it with both hands, and I can carry me, I will successfully go up, I can't carry me, that is no different from hanging in the air, sooner or later I have to fall.

Although I have made up my mind, I am still cautious, after all, I don't know how deep the place is under my feet, if it is an abyss, or a mud pit, then my life will really be in danger if I fall, so I decided to try it slowly. Closing my arms little by little, first using the two elbows to support, and then adjusting to one palm to press the upward force, I did not have a one-time full force, but tried twice, felt feasible, and then a fierce force, instantly lifted the body up 20 cm.

Just as my other hand was working, a drop of water fell on my face. I immediately realized that something was wrong, it chased after me, and before I could react, it was stuck in my face again. It was this cold touch, I panicked instantly, I forgot that my hand was still supporting my body, and quickly stretched out a hand to pull, it was pulled down, but my body also lost its balance.

The moment my body was out of balance, I instinctively grabbed the dirt around me with both hands, but I never expected that the dirt around me also began to fall, this time my struggle was completely in vain, and in two or three seconds, I felt that my lower body sank and fell directly.

However, the distance of the fall was not high, only about four or five meters, and along with the dirt on it, all of which fell on me, and the top continued to fall. I was already covered by a lot of dirt, and I felt that there was still dirt on me, and I immediately used all my strength to climb out desperately.

The weight of the wet dirt on my body was beyond words, and I had mud in my mouth and nose. For a while, breathing became the biggest problem, and the dirt that fell one after another fell on my body like sandbags.

I tried a few times, trying to climb out of the mud, it's too difficult, not to mention that there is still dirt falling down, but no, it's not easy to climb out, not to mention the degree of stickiness of the soil, even if you step into it with one foot, it's not so easy to pull it out, let alone people pressed underneath.

In the minute I was pressed by the dirt, I had a lot of beautiful images in my mind, and I suddenly felt that I hadn't been home for a long time, and I missed my parents a little. My head gradually became a little cloudy, I knew I couldn't do it, but I still really wanted to see my parents, I bit my tongue hard with my teeth to make myself sober, and subconsciously reminded myself that I can't die, I want to get out alive, my life is not over yet.

This is probably the greatest strength I have ever exerted, so to speak, all the strength of breastfeeding, and if it weren't for the mud in my mouth, I think I would have shouted a thunderous roar. I moved my body forward with both hands and feet desperately, although I didn't get rid of the dirt on my body, but my head poked out, and quickly spit out the mud in my mouth, and breathed heavily, but I still felt that my mouth was less, and I didn't feel enough to breathe, maybe I really reached the limit of lack of oxygen, and if I came out a second later, I might be suffocated.

I crawled forward little by little, I knew that I couldn't get up from the mud, so I could only move out slowly like a snake, but after all the parts of my body crawled out, I immediately lay flat on the side, breathing rapidly, although it was also dark here, but I laughed out loud, maybe now I, just came back from the ghost gate, I don't know how to be afraid.

I don't know, where did I get the strength and wisdom just now, to be able to bite my tongue when I was about to lose consciousness, to keep myself awake, and to be able to gather all the remaining strength and crawl out of the mud, if this was before, don't even think about it, I'm afraid I'll have to hang here, maybe, this is the power brought by survival **, it seems that I am not unable to save myself, but this energy has not been stimulated before.

I lay flat on the ground and rested for a while, and then I sat up again, because I knew that I was not out of danger, and now that I was getting farther and farther away from the place where the hut had fallen, it was becoming more and more dangerous.
