one person's life

Chapter 81 Savage
The four of them didn't know what to do with this thing for a while. He Jingye took off the head with gloves and placed it on the ground. "Let's go first."

After walking sullenly for a few more hours, the surrounding environment became less cold. Because of the bloody head just now, Tang Muzhi didn't put his hand into the lake to test the temperature. It just felt that it was not as cold as before. .

The watch failed early, either due to magnetism or some other reason. When Zheng Lide asked everyone present the time, Tang Muzhi estimated that it had been about four hours since entering the cave.

The four of them rested for a while. Tang Muzhi took off his gas mask and smelled it. There was a slight smell of sulfur in the cave. It was dangerous to breathe in this environment for a long time.

"It's coming soon." Tang Muzhi pointed to the light, which should be the exit of the cave, but the light source seemed to be much weaker than before. He estimated that it was about five or six o'clock now. If the light source came from the sun, it would be just right. suitable.

After walking a few more steps there, I realized that it was already dusk above - as expected, the roof of the cave here was connected to the outside world.Tang Muzhi took one look and remembered Tang Tomb. It was also an open-air cave, but it was much larger and not as humid as this one.

But what's in the middle of the cave is even more surprising - it's actually a well!

This is not a simple well like those in the countryside, but a large well made of regular stones that protrudes about 40 centimeters from the ground and is about one meter in diameter. It seems to have paintings or something on it, and it is colorful.It stands in the center of a large open-air cave.

The terrain here has changed again, and part of the frozen lake has actually overflowed, accumulating a shallow layer of water on the ground.

The dusk skylight shines in the cave, and the golden light on the accumulated water illuminates the entire cave entrance. It is really a wonder.

On the rock wall facing Tang Muzhi and others, there was a climbing rope rippling on it.

"That's the climbing rope of the missing comrades!" Zheng Lide almost jumped up, "Just like the one we tied to the raft!"

"Ha!" He Jingye was also very excited, "They are still alive... so they climbed up from here."

Tang Muzhi and Heiguan'er were relatively calm. They were the kind of people who would not put too much pressure on themselves. They would try their best to save someone if they could, and they would not feel any burden if they couldn't.Now it seems that at least some soldiers escaped here, successfully evaded the pursuit of the gangsters, and then went out.

"We're going up!" Zheng Lide stepped into the water. "It's not ice here anymore. You guys have a try."

The spread of the water was exactly where the sun could reach. Tang Muzhi walked into the circle of light. He, who had been in darkness for a long time, couldn't help but close his eyes when he entered it.

"It's still a bit dangerous... Black pipe, be careful."

Black Guan'er held the gun in his hand tighter, "Okay."

In the most dazzling position. , both of them are paying attention to the places where the sun doesn't shine.

Zheng Lide ran to check the climbing rope, while He Jingye walked to the wellhead in the center of the cave and bent down to see——

"what!"

A shrill scream came out, and Tang Muzhi turned his head to look.

There was a spear stuck in He Jingye's shoulder, and he fell on his back on the waterlogged ground. The spear was almost the same as the one he had caught in the water before!
A big hand with thick black hair stretched out from the well and grabbed He Jingye's ankle.

The sharp stone spears had pierced into his muscles, but he was still a warrior after all. He gritted his teeth, picked up the rifle, and was about to shoot at the black hand.

But at this time, he was dragged to the wellhead by big hands, the muzzle of the gun hit the stone well hard, and he actually fell over.

He Jingye was about to be dragged into the well when Tang Muzhi rushed up and grabbed his frantically struggling right arm.

"Guan'er!" Tang Muzhi shouted, and the black Guan'er rifle had already aimed at the big hairy hand and fired several shots.

"Ow—"

A scream like a beast came from the well, and there was the sound of heavy objects falling.

"This must be a savage!" Tang Muzhi settled He Jingye down and was about to tell Zheng Lide to be careful. He looked around but couldn't find him anywhere.

"Mu Zhi?" Black Guan'er couldn't help but be horrified, "Where's the battalion commander?" Tang Muzhi carried He Jingye to Black Guan'er's feet, then picked up the rifle on his chest, "Brother Guan'er, take care of it first..." Brother He, lend me your gun!"

He Jingye took off his gas mask and nodded with a pale face. The savage was so strong that he almost crushed his ankle.

Tang Muzhi held the gun and walked step by step towards the place where Zheng Lide was standing just now. That place was against the wall and was already out of reach of the sun and was completely dark.Tang Muzhi stretched out his hand towards the dark wall, but found nothing!
Sure enough, there is an exit from this place!It was also a big hole, probably perfect for a two-meter-five-meter savage to curl up and pass through, and then abduct the unsuspecting Zheng Lide.

Tang Muzhi looked around. There might be such a trap here. He Jingye and Hei Guan'er couldn't be left here. If He Jingye was not injured, it would be okay. The two of them could defend themselves with guns on their backs... Now He Jingye His shoulder was seriously injured and he probably couldn't even lift the gun.

"Brother Guan'er! Can you carry him on your back and let's walk together? Battalion Commander Zheng is in danger."

Black Guan'er threw away his backpack and carried He Jingye on his back, "Let's go!"

The three of them plunged into the darkness, only to find that the hole turned downhill and soon reached the ground.

"Be quiet, be careful of being discovered by savages... This is..."

There was a dim beam of sunlight shining down from the top, which was shining from the mouth of the well. There were torches burning everywhere. In the darkness, Tang Muzhi could see the whole place clearly.

This is a village where a savage tribe lives!There is a strong smell of blood all around, and there are mutilated corpses hanging everywhere, including those of savages and ordinary people... The caves dug around them and connected to the top are their houses, and there is only one building in the real sense, that is The torii-like building in the distance is made of logs and looks very old.

There were torches lit next to each cave. Tang Muzhi counted more than 20 of them.

The savages have not yet discovered Tang Mu's three men. They gathered under the mouth of the well, holding simple spears.Standing like a zombie, looking up at the mouth of the well without saying a word.

Black Guan'er was glad that he was in an emergency situation just now and did not look down the well after Zheng Lide disappeared. Otherwise, the scene of being stared at by this group of savages would probably become his nightmare forever.

There is a pillar connected diagonally between the well and the ground. The savage who just attacked He Jingye just stood on the pillar and raised his hand.

Zheng Lide fell to the side, not sure whether he was dead or unconscious.

Tang Muzhi finally saw the full picture of the savages. They looked closer to apes, with slender limbs and round and small heads. Almost every one of them was over two and a half meters tall. They were covered with black hair and were divided into Unclear male and female.

Tang Muzhi looked at Zheng Lide who fell on the ground, swallowed his saliva, and signaled to Black Guan'er.

"Understand……"

The gangster, Tang Muzhi, and the two men picked up their guns and found a good angle.

For some unknown reason, these savages were so slow to act as a living target. Naturally, they would not let go of this opportunity.

Da da da……

Flames erupted from the rifle muzzle, and the savages screamed and fled around. Some of them threw their spears at Tang Muzhi, but they were already shot before they could throw them.

The bodies of the savages seemed to be very strong, and they could still persist in completing their actions after receiving several bullets. One of the savages picked up Zheng Lide and ran towards the "torii gate".

Tang Muzhi was always paying attention to Zheng Lide's situation. He showed no mercy with the rifle in his hand and blew the savage's head off with a series of shots.

The savage was shot after just two steps, so he had to throw Zheng Lide in his arms far away, not far from the "torii gate".

"Who's out there? Who's out there--"

The surrounding savages were fleeing to death, and the place was a mess. The sound of gunfire gradually stopped, and Tang Muzhi suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the "torii".

"Why does it seem to be Yuan Tao?"

　I couldn't pass the trial at the beginning...I'm very dissatisfied with the changes now...Oh
