Indiana Jones

Chapter 289: A Silver Lining (04)

The woodcutter was in a bad state, his face was ugly, and he seemed to have suffered serious internal injuries, but he said he was fine, and refused other people's inspection and help. Lin Feng and Li Siming went to find a way out and came back with nothing.

"I still can't die, my old bones are so easy to fall apart." The woodcutter waved his hand, "Why should I do it? You don't need to stay with me."

"What the hell is this place?" Si Xuanyi grabbed Zhao Chenggong's flashlight and took pictures around.

"Turn off the light first, let's discuss it." Li Siming said.

It was only then that Si Xuanyi realized that he needed to save the only electricity he had, so he quickly turned off the flashlight, and suddenly the surroundings became dark again, and it was completely dark. This feeling made them feel extremely uncomfortable, and several people fell silent in the darkness. It took a moment before they resumed their discussion of their immediate predicament.

"This ghostly place is very strange. It's not a small place. There are cliffs on both sides. One side is upward and the other is downward. The upward one cannot climb up, and the downward one cannot climb down." Li Siming said succinctly.

Si Xuanyi didn't understand, but after careful questioning, he realized that the south side of this place was down a cliff, and their flashlights couldn't find the bottom, and they didn't know how deep it was. The north side was an upward cliff, as steep as a knife cut Generally, they climb up at all. One side is blocked by the water flow and the other side is unknown. Their lighting equipment is limited, the area they can explore is very small, and the manpower has just been gathered, so the next step needs to be discussed.

"Currently we only have two flashlights that we can use, and there is almost no electricity. It is impossible to go west. There is a big fountain over there, and it is impossible to get through. Only the east side has not been explored. We must hurry up. Time to find a way out as soon as possible before the flashlight runs out, otherwise we will be completely trapped in the dark and wait to die." Lin Feng briefly explained the current situation.

"You're not sure where we are now, are you?" Si Xuanyi frowned and said, "Did we just be rushed to that kind of abyss-like place we experienced before?"

"I don't know yet, but the situation here should be much better than those. At least there is not so much water and so many corpses. It's just that our space for activities is not so big now, and everyone is together, and there is nothing wrong. Everything is strong, as long as the latter has hope, and a way out can be found." Li Siming said seriously.

"This place is windy and very regular. The direction is southwest, but we can't get through there. Judging from the current situation, our batteries may not last long, so everyone should be careful. If we throw them inside the mountain Then..." The woodcutter continued after pondering for a moment, "The devil just now may have been washed out of those holes by the water, so I'm not sure if there will be other devils appearing, so everyone should be careful, we Now it can be said that we have run out of ammunition and food, and we no longer have the ability to compete with them."

Everyone understands what he means. If this place is still inside the mountain, they probably have no chance to get out. The lighting tools in their hands will only last for a few hours at most. Once the power is exhausted, they will be completely in the dark. Can't find any way out of here.

"Then don't move yet." Si Xuanyi said, the others didn't understand what he meant, and he continued, "Judging from the current situation, all of us are almost exhausted, let's rest here first , recover our strength, and we can also wait and see if this is outside."

"What do you mean? What do you mean wait and see if it's outside?" Finding success didn't understand at all.

Si Xuanyi explained: "If calculated according to the time, it is night now, and it is normal to be so dark. Even if I am outside, I can't see anything. The sound of water near us is too loud to hear other sounds. Even if we really go outside, we can’t judge by eyes or ears, so we can rest and wait until dawn after waiting for a few hours. As long as this place is connected to the outside, as long as there is light, we will find it immediately. At the same time, we can save a little Some of the power of the two flashlights, anyway, we don’t have the physical strength to toss, so we might as well use this time to have a good rest, we have been tossing underground for so long, and we don’t care about waiting for a few more hours.”

"Just wait like this? Or a few hours, completely dark? I don't want to endure this place for a minute." Zhao Chenggong thinks this is not a good idea.

"I think it's ok." Li Siming said, "Our current physical condition is really bad, and we really need to rest; don't you have to spend a few hours in the dark when you go to bed at night?"

"That's different. You can sleep more securely. Besides, who would sleep in such a place?" Zhao Chenggong still felt that something was wrong.

"Okay, let's do this." The woodcutter agreed, and after hearing what he said, Zhao Chenggong had no choice but to shut up.

"Who still has something to eat?" Lin Feng asked in a low voice, "Our physical strength is exhausted too much, we must supplement it, otherwise even if we have enough rest time, we won't be able to recover well, instead we will get weaker and weaker."

"I still have some dried sweet potatoes. Although I'm not full, it's enough to satisfy my hunger." Li Siming said, taking out the rest and sharing it with everyone. In fact, everyone can only share three pieces the size of a finger. It can only be said that it is better than the gap between the teeth. Food shortage Si Xuanyi thought of the big catfish whose head was flattened. Such a big fish is enough for them to eat for a few days. Although they can't make a fire, they can eat raw fish. The taste is not very good, especially the meat of such a large catfish is relatively hard, but it is better than nothing, so they each made a piece and ate it indiscriminately, which can fill their stomachs, at least they can have something to eat It also made them feel a little relieved.

In this way, the five people were divided into two shifts and prepared to rest. Now they are in such a bad state that they have almost nothing on them. The only weapons are a pistol from Si Xuanyi, a clip with four bullets from Li Siming, a Thomson submachine gun and everyone's backpacks. Lost, all the supplies were lost, and the only equipment they had was the rope they had used on the dead tree before because it had been entangled with Zhao Chenggong, and a trapped dragon nail in Lin Feng's hand. Obviously they The situation is quite bad. If this continues, no matter what accidents will happen later, they may not be able to deal with it, but soon they find that the situation seems to be worse than they expected, because they heard it again in the sound of rumbling water. Faint cries, it is obvious that there is that kind of big salamander nearby, judging from their current state, this thing is undoubtedly a huge threat to them...
