Chapter 11 Human Nature is unpredictable and gives birth to ghosts
(I'm really sorry, the author overestimated his pen power, and wanted to write about the changes in human nature in the face of life and death, but he was very dissatisfied with what he wrote, so he overturned and rewrote it, and put a thousand words first!)
The mine was littered with wafting soot, and collapsed wooden stakes stuck diagonally on the boulders overhead, allowing people trapped dozens of meters deep underground to survive.
All the lights used for lighting were extinguished, except for a few headlamps on top of the workers, and the sound of heavy breathing was unusually clear in the silence and small space.
"Team leader!
A young man of eighteen or nineteen choked up, his dark face quickly stained with tears, but no one laughed at him.
"Don't be afraid, someone will come to our rescue soon!"
The man who was called the leader of the group barely smiled, trying to soothe the others with his trembling voice.
In this case, the most feared thing is that the person's mentality collapses, and thus the best chance to survive is missed.
It's just that his legs, which have been severely deformed and are still bubbling with blood, are crushed under the stones, but it is difficult for everyone's emotions to calm down.
"Team leader, what's the matter, come and rescue the team leader!" the young man shouted in panic when he saw this.
"No, it's okay to press it, once I remove the stone from my leg, I'll only die faster!"
The team leader grabbed the young man's arm, and the severe pain made him break out in a cold sweat, and his face turned pale from blood loss.
"Don't panic, something so big happened, Mr. Wu must be already trying to save us!"
The team leader kept reassuring everyone with words, and it took a while for the trapped people to regain their vitality, believing that they would definitely be able to return to the ground safely.
It's just that for three days in a row, no one has heard any digging and rescue, and their drinking water has been completely exhausted.
"Don't panic, don't panic"
The group leader, who had developed a high fever due to an infected wound, was still comforting others in his drowsiness, but no one believed him except for the young man at this time.
Another day passed, and the group leader finally could no longer hold on, and as he died, he held the young man's hand tightly, trying to say something, but he didn't say it.
"Click~"
The young man who had fallen asleep heard the faint sound of chewing in his ears, and he weakly turned on his headlamp to look in the direction from which the sound came, only to find that the other three workers were greedily eating something.
"Team leader——! not ——!"
The young man who reacted let out a cry of grief and threw himself at the body of the team leader with all his might, trying to stop the beastly behavior of the three of them.
But he was hungry and was the opponent of three people, and finally he was pushed to the ground, weak and unable to get up again.
"Do you want to live?"
Looking at the three of them, who had become nervous, bloodstained and chewing with relish, the young man whimpered and moved backwards, trying to get away from them.
"Do you want to live?"
But the three of them didn't intend to let the young man go, they quickly stepped forward and sat down beside the young man, and asked with a grim smile, with a few traces of raw meat between their teeth.
"Woo~"
The young man cried out in fear, but at this moment something was forcibly stuffed into his mouth, and the smell of blood in his mouth suddenly made him retch.
"You swallow it, swallow it and we'll all be the same~hehe~"
The three of them were very dissatisfied with the young man's reaction, and even choked the young man's neck and kept stuffing it into his mouth piece by piece.
"Ahem——!
The young man resisted desperately, and the contents of his mouth made him feel boundless guilt, but for some reason, when the flesh mixed with blood and water slid through his esophagus and into his stomach, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
"Trough! You chew on such a delicious thing!"
The young man was beaten by the three of them, and he was powerless to resist and could only chew the raw meat in his mouth fiercely in the midst of crying bitterly, causing the three of them to laugh.
