Volume 1 Chapter 225 Hardship Sees Truth
Shen Feng and Chu Chaoyan have spent ten days underground, during this time, the two have been digging the soil layer online, but the deep soil is too hard, the progress of the two digging is slow, and the water flow on the stone wall is getting less and less, Shen Feng tore off a piece of underwear and pad it under the crack of the stone wall, as long as the water flows on the cloth, then it will be absorbed by the fiber, and when you are thirsty, as long as you twist the cloth hard, you can squeeze out the water.
Chu Chaoyan took out compressed biscuits from her backpack, broke them and handed them to Shen Feng in half, she was silent for a long time before she said, "I only have five compressed biscuits here!" ”
Shen Feng was silent for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face again: "In this way, it seems that we can hold on for a while, now, we have dug thirty meters, and if we hold on a little longer, the soil on it will become softer and softer." ”
Chu Chaoyan continued: "There is only one dry battery left that can be used. ”
In the past ten days, Shen Feng and Chu Chaoyan have been digging the passage overhead, but these soils have already been accumulated for thousands of years, and the underground soil in the depths is extremely compact, even if Shen Feng and Chu Chaoyan are digging hard, after ten days, they have only excavated thirty meters, and there is still at least twenty meters away from the ground.
Shen Feng also tried to find an exit in the second layer of passage, but he was besieged by countless zombies, at this time, the zombies besieging Shen Feng were no longer ordinary zombies, but mutated zombies, the largest of which were speed zombies and jet zombies, in a small space, jet zombies casually spewed out a stream of acid to force Shen Feng to dodge.
In this case, Shen Feng had no chance to find the passage to the upper floor, but was almost found by the zombies to find his hiding place, but fortunately, he and Chu Chaoyan dug the passage to hide early, so they hid under the tracking of the zombies.
Shen Feng looked at the flashlight and was silent for a long time before he said, "I can't continue to use the flashlight now, turn it off." ”
When the flashlight was turned off, the cave was completely darkened, and for the past ten days, the two of them had been relatively calm at first, thinking that one day they would be able to leave the underground, but now it seems that the truth is not at all what they thought, and seeing that the drinking water and compressed biscuits are consumed less and less, both of them have a premonition of the worst outcome.
Compressed biscuits are like the lifeline of the two, once the compressed biscuits are eaten, it means that the last life of the two will come to an end.
Chu Chaoyan said in the dark: "Shen Feng, I don't think we can get out, even if someone is searching for us, I'm afraid it's too late!" ”
Chu Chaoyan was already desperate, she waited underground for ten days, during which she was digging the passage above her head, the potholes on the dagger were no longer sharp, and for ten days, she had been trying to survive, only hoping to get out of the ground, but no matter how hard she dug up, she couldn't see a way to live.
In this regard, Shen Feng hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, our supplies haven't been completely exhausted, you take a rest first, get some sleep, and I'll continue to dig up." ”
Shen Feng didn't want to give up on himself, he still had a reason to persevere, he remembered that when he left Jiangyang, Chang Jianyi had been telling him to be careful, the battlefield was extremely dangerous, he must not risk his life, and he must return safely.
But now, Shen Feng and Chu Chaoyan are trapped underground, called every day, called the earth is not spiritual, unless there is a sudden earthquake, which makes the ground crack, otherwise, don't want to leave the ground in a short time, now in the underground world, zombies are searching everywhere, Shen Feng and Chu Chaoyan are completely impossible to rush out.
Shen Feng supported both sides of the passage with both hands, and quickly came to the end of thirty meters above, pulled out the long sword and began to dig the soil, the soil above his head fell down one by one, it seemed that the progress was good, but Shen Feng's side could only dig three meters deep a day, the long sword was not a hoe after all, and there was no way to dig well.
In the dark, Chu Chaoyan closed her eyes silently, and then began to transport the earth and stones on the ground, and the soil and stones kept falling from the passage above, if she didn't clean it up in time, then there would be no place for her here, but she really didn't think that she could leave alive, and besides, she seemed to have dragged Shen Feng down.
Five days have passed, and there is no more water flowing out of the stone cracks, Shen Feng and Chu Chaoyan have stopped, without a water source, they will definitely die if they stay underground!
Chu Chaoyan was silent and didn't say anything, but Shen Feng analyzed, "The water in the stone crevice should have entered the ground after the snow melted before, so now there is no water in the stone crevice, either the snow has all melted, or it is snowing above." ”
Shen Feng calculated, he had already dug more than forty meters of passage on his side, maybe he could come to the ground as long as he insisted on persevering, but at this time, there was no water in the stone crevices, and it was very difficult to survive now.
Shen Feng reflexively took out his mobile phone and wanted to see the time, but the mobile phone had long been out of battery, and now the estimated time was completely instinctively speculated, and he didn't even know if it was day or night outside.
Chu Chaoyan said in a low voice: "Shen Feng, you go by yourself, take my backpack with you, there is the suicide note I wrote before, you give the suicide note to my grandfather, as for my words, it will only become a burden for you, after you lighten the load, the speed will be faster, and you have more hope of leaving the ground." ”
Shen Feng was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?" We're not at the end of the tunnel, we can explore the rest of the tunnels, maybe we can find the water again, and we'll be able to hold out for a little longer. ”
Chu Chaoyan shook his head and said helplessly: "Shen Feng, leave me alone, you can go by yourself, I can't hold on anymore!" ”
At this time, Shen Feng felt that something was wrong, it seemed that Chu Chaoyan's voice had become hoarse, so he hurriedly turned on the flashlight to observe, and took a closer look at Chu Chaoyan's face, Shen Feng was taken aback, at this time Chu Chaoyan's face was yellow, her cheeks were sunken, and her eye sockets seemed to be stuck in her face, at this time her eyes also lost their lustre, there was only endless numbness in her eyes, thinking that in these days, Chu Chaoyan's disappointment had become more and more serious.
And what Shen Feng cares about most is not Chu Chaoyan's mental state, but her physical condition, at this time, Chu Chaoyan's lips are shriveled and full of cracks, she is already very dehydrated, if she doesn't have a breath to hold on, she has died of dehydration now.
"You ......" Shen Feng carefully recalled his experience these days, he himself had been digging tunnels all day long, and when he was thirsty, he would go to the crack in the stone to find the cloth and twist it, and the water would naturally squeeze out, until today, he had done this, but now that he thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to hear Chu Chaoyan's sound of drinking water.
"Have you not been drinking water all these days?" Shen Feng looked at Chu Chaoyan in surprise, he thought of the reason why Chu Chaoyan was dehydrated, it must be that she didn't drink the water in the stone crevice, so it would become like this.
Chu Chaoyan said weakly: "From the time I found that the water source was getting less and less, I knew that the water would dry up sooner or later, I gave up, I don't want to work hard, think about it carefully, it's not interesting for me to live, you have to go back to Yuzhou to see Chang Jianyi, so I left the water to you, and now you have seen it, I'm about to die, I can't hold on, so, give up on me!" ”
Chu Chaoyan didn't want to continue to insist at this time, she experienced hope and fear underground, and finally turned into complete disappointment, she didn't think she could still leave the underground.
When Shen Feng heard this, he couldn't help but shed tears and said, "You're too stupid, you're too stupid!" I'm not a guy who can casually abandon my friends, do you think I'm going to abandon you in this situation? What to say about burden, what to say about lightening the burden, without you by my side, I would not be able to persevere these days. ”
Shen Feng is not telling a lie, the reason why he has persisted until now, in addition to the persistence in his heart, and the hope of seeing the people he meets, is also because Chu Chaoyan is with him, if a person is trapped underground, at this time, even if Shen Feng is not eaten by zombies, he will go crazy.
Chu Chaoyan opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, she didn't know how to answer Shen Feng, at this time her heart was already dead, she had been trapped underground for fifteen days, she couldn't bear such despair from body to mind, she was already about to give up struggling, because there was no point.
Shen Feng thought about it seriously, suddenly took off his coat, cut the coat and tied it together to become a rope, he couldn't abandon Chu Chaoyan, even if he tied it to his body, he had to take her away.
Chu Chaoyan was tied to Shen Feng's back, but there was a blank look on her face, she was completely in despair at this time, and there was no way for people who had entered a desperate situation to succeed in persuasion, because Chu Chaoyan had gotten into the tip of the horns, and after holding on for fifteen days, he still couldn't leave, and he couldn't even see the hope of leaving, and it was pointless to continue struggling, unless a miracle happened, unless the two of them could be saved in an instant, otherwise, Chu Chaoyan's despair would not be dispelled.
Shen Feng looked up at the passage he had dug these days, he had already dug forty meters, if his guess was right, he would only need to dig another ten meters to reach the ground, but now there was no water and no food, Chu Chaoyan was still in a state of dehydration, and it was impossible to have more time for himself to dig the passage.
"If there was still water in the cracks in the stones, we would definitely be able to hold on longer, but now at this time, we can only take risks!" Shen Feng muttered to himself.
Shen Feng tied Chu Chaoyan and his backpack to his back, and then used "Follow the wind" to rush out towards the passage full of zombies, the flashlight illuminated the road ahead, this is the last battery, and the flashlight can last for a day at most, if he can't find the passage to the top within this day, he will be completely lost in the hole.
Shen Feng rushed to an unfamiliar passage, and then saw a lot of zombies in front of him, these zombies were strong and strong, standing motionless in the distance.
Shen Feng immediately felt cold: "It's not good to be a teacher, I just walked such a distance and met a zombie, it seems that I really have to explain here today!" ”
…………
There was heavy snow in the sky, snowflakes fell on the ground, and the ground was suddenly covered with snow, at this time Xiao Sheng was standing on the mountain with a few friends, and everyone built a simple shack, and there was a fire in the leeward place on the side, and there was a pot on the fire, which was cooking soup. Xiao Sheng looked at the cauldron that was already boiling in front of him, and sighed helplessly, fifteen days had passed since the moment when the zombies went berserk, but he still hadn't been able to find Shen Feng.
Zhang Zi also sat aside, seeing Xiao Sheng's sad face, he couldn't help but persuade him: "Xiao Sheng, it's useless for you to worry so much, Jin Zijue and they have been looking down below these days, if Shen Feng is still alive, it must be able to be found." ”
Xiao Sheng raised his head and glanced at Zhang Zi, and said helplessly: "Do you know, I don't have any hope that Shen Feng is still alive, I just don't know how to tell Shen Yu about this, if she learns that her brother died unexpectedly, she will definitely be grief-stricken." ”
Fang Qinghao said in a low voice: "Didn't there have been miners trapped in the well before, these miners have persisted for more than twenty days, maybe Shen Feng is still alive now, don't be too pessimistic!" ”
Xiao Sheng was even more depressed when he heard this, "The miners don't have the threat of zombies underground, at least we still know where the miners can be rescued, but now the mountains here are all caves, the ghost knows where Shen Feng is, and there are at least tens of millions of zombies underground, and it is impossible for Shen Feng to survive." ”
Xiao Sheng didn't underestimate Shen Feng, he didn't think Shen Feng was bad, after all, Shen Feng had killed the corpse king single-handedly, his combat power was definitely very strong, but the heroes couldn't stand the crowd, if Shen Feng faced the siege of tens of thousands of zombies, he would be tired to death, let alone live for so long in the absence of materials.
Zhang Zi thought about it seriously and said, "Sister Qin is recuperating in the hospital and is almost healed, why don't we invite her over?" Her ability can easily change the terrain, and as long as she opens the passage to the bottom, wouldn't it be easy for us to find Shen Feng? ”
Xiao Sheng thought about it carefully, and felt that this sentence made sense, Qin Kewei's ability itself played a huge role in this situation, and now he needed her to come here to help.
Thinking of this, Xiao Sheng immediately stood up and said, "I'll go to her immediately, she has been recuperating from her injuries for five days, and her body should be recovering." ”
