Chapter 290: A Silver Lining (05)

"What the hell is this place? How did those things come out?" Zhao Cheng scolded.

"Just like us, we were also washed out by the water." The woodcutter said, "Although we can't see it, the possibility of us leaving the ground is more than [-]%, at least it can prove that this place is connected to the outside world, otherwise those bronze mirrors cannot receive light. "

"Go to sleep first, your condition is not very good." Si Xuanyi said to the woodcutter.

"The fire in my hometown is not so fragile." The woodcutter's tone seemed unhappy, probably because he thought Si Xuanyi thought he was long-winded.

Si Xuanyi didn't explain too much, the water was too loud in this place, it took a lot of effort to speak, and he was already very tired, so he didn't want to say anything.

"There are other voices." Lin Feng seemed to have noticed something.

"Isn't that the damn thing crying?" Zhao Chenggong listened again, except for the sound of water.

"No, there is a voice." Hearing the voice, Lin Feng seemed to stand up, and then walked in one direction, but he ignored the others asking him what he was doing.

"I'll go and have a look." Li Siming stood up as he spoke.

"Don't go, you can't help, if someone is there, you will be found as soon as you turn on the flashlight." The woodcutter stopped him, "You can't go very far in the dark."

"What about him?" Li Siming asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, his eyes are much better than yours. He can see things you can't see." The woodcutter seemed unwilling to make it too clear.

"Look over there." Zhao Chenggong looked at the distance and it seemed that there was a flash of fire, not very bright, and it flashed past, but after he finished speaking, he realized that they were all in the dark, and no one could see him The direction of the finger.

"It is indeed a fire." Li Siming also saw it.

"Where is it?" Si Xuanyi was at a loss, his eyes were dark and he couldn't see anything. Li Siming told him, but he didn't know where to look.

"Would you like to go over and have a look?" Zhao Chenggong asked, the little hesitation in the words, you can't see anything in this dark environment, if you don't turn on the flashlight, it's impossible to pass, this place is difficult to walk, if you are in If you can't see it, you can't go.

"Don't worry, wait and see, if it's a human, I believe he wouldn't dare to walk around in the dark." Li Siming said, "So our side is safe."

"How can it be safe in such a dark place? I don't even know if something is approaching... I'm sure... there is..." He suddenly raised his voice, "There is... there is something..."

All of a sudden, several people became tense. They were almost powerless to fight back in an environment where they could not see anything. What's more, their physical strength was huge, and they didn't have weapons in their hands. body, but is it really too late at that time?

"Don't panic, get together back to back and face outwards, don't turn on the flashlight." Si Xuanyi said immediately, the reason why he did this was to avoid accidental injuries among himself, everyone is frightened now, their nerves are tense, maybe He will attack anything he touches, so in order to avoid hurting his own people, he tells everyone to back to back.

"Why don't you turn on the flashlight?" Zhao Chenggong asked.

"Idiot, do you want to be a living target? There are probably little devils around here, and the fire just now may be." Li Siming grabbed him, "Don't move around, back to back."

Several people immediately groped and leaned together. This simple action became very difficult in the dark. They almost pretended to be a ball, and then they did it by groping each other. Surrounded in the middle, the woodcutter asked Zhao Chenggong what happened to him. He couldn't tell, but he felt something touching him. It seemed that he was not small, and he jumped up immediately. The thing didn't know where it went.

To be honest, several people were very nervous in this situation. No one knew what was hidden in the dark surroundings. They froze there and did not dare to move or turn on the flashlight. Li Siming held the only pistol, Si Xuanyi knew very well that holding a gun in his current state was far less effective than Li Siming, so after he handed over the gun, he touched a stone by his feet as a weapon.

Suddenly, another flash of light flashed in the distance. Si Xuanyi saw it this time. It seemed that someone had lit something again. The distance could not be seen in the darkness, but they could only see the flash of light once, but they couldn't see it clearly. The flames indicated that the distance was not close.

"Grandma's." Si Xuanyi cursed in a low voice. He was very clear that it couldn't be Lin Feng. Apart from them, there were only a few devils here, and now they only had one gun with four bullets. It was impossible to fight with those little devils. Contest, of course, unless those little devils have suffered worse losses than them, but he knows very well that he must not take such chances.

The strange thing is that there was no movement after the flash, and the surroundings fell into that kind of absolute darkness again.

"What should I do?" Zhao Chenggong asked, he seemed a little at a loss as to what to say.

"Wait a little longer, let's see how many people he has. If it doesn't work, just hide one. Because of our current state and equipment, there is no need to fight hard. Besides, they don't know I'm here." Si Xuanyi said, "You Are you sure there's really something nearby?"

Zhao Chenggong hesitated for a moment: "I don't know, but just now I really felt that there was something behind me, now... I can't tell, but I don't feel safe at all."

"Who can find a sense of security in this kind of place?" Li Siming whispered, "Don't be too nervous, let's move to the bottom of the cliff, where it is relatively safe, at least we don't have to be surrounded by enemies."

"Heideng is blind, do you know which way to go? If we go the wrong way, we will fall directly to the bottom of the cliff." Zhao Chenggong was a little worried.

What he said is not alarmist, and it is a very realistic problem. If they hadn't moved just now, they could still discern the approximate direction from memory, but after such a toss just now, they have completely Lost sense of direction.

"Don't worry, I will show you the direction, but you have to rely on your own feet." The woodcutter said behind them.

"Grandpa, this can't be forced. Could it be that you can also see the surrounding situation in the dark?" Zhao Chenggong asked.

The woodcutter sneered: "Although it's not as good as Lin Feng, it's still better than yours. At least I can tell the direction."

"Then quickly see if there is anything around us." What Zhao Chenggong cares most is not whether he can determine the direction, but whether there is anything around him that could threaten their lives.

"There are big rocks everywhere here. Even if there is enough light, I can't see if there is anything behind the rocks, but at least there should be nothing now. I didn't see anything when you were surprised just now. Forget it, let's not mention this. Let's go!" The woodcutter seemed to be a little impatient in his words.

They couldn't figure out whether the old man was telling the truth or not, but at his age, he shouldn't be talking nonsense, anyway, it was a solution, and it was much better than waiting here.

The woodcutter pointed in one direction and they started to move in that direction. Li Siming walked in the front with a gun in his hand. In his memory, the distance was only about 30 meters, but in this short distance he fell ten times in a row. After a few falls, there are stones of different sizes everywhere on the ground, and they can only move forward completely by feeling. Walking in the middle is definitely not easy, the sense of helplessness that goes nowhere arises spontaneously, as if you have fallen into an endless darkness that can never touch the edge, and you will never be able to get out. The whole process seems to be exhausted. For a long time, they didn't feel at ease until they touched the stone wall.

Several people leaned against the stone wall and stared at the nearby darkness with wide eyes, looking for even a ray of light that can be caught by human eyes. The reason why people are afraid of the dark is because they cannot be sure what will be in the dark. People tend to think things are worse, and they are not sure what kind of situation they will face, so they have fear, but now they can feel that there is something in the darkness, and they are very disturbed, afraid Something rushed towards them suddenly. In fact, if it was really a real fight with the little devil, they wouldn't necessarily frown. It's just that the darkness here is indeed a torture to their psychology. .

In this situation, no one dared to speak. They huddled against the stone wall and squatted on the ground, holding things in their hands, and froze there, for fear of any disturbance around them.

But after a long time, there was darkness all around, except for the sound of the water, which was a little softer than the position just now, I couldn't hear any other sounds, and everything was the same as before, as if nothing happened.

"What should I do?" Zhao Chenggong was a little confused.

"Don't move! Don't talk, either," said the woodcutter in the most stern tone.

This feeling is really tormenting, as if time has been slowed down, the single darkness makes them tired and unable to open their eyes very quickly, and the nerves that were originally tense began to relax uncontrollably, although they dare not sleep, But the feeling of drowsiness was really irresistible. Zhao Chenggong couldn't hold on, and soon fell asleep leaning against the stone wall. No one noticed. In this environment, he couldn't pay attention to the state of other people. In the noisy water, it was impossible to tell the difference between his breathing and just relying on his ears.

Si Xuanyi was also very sleepy, but he kept reminding himself that he had to be awake, it was not safe here, and it was not time to sleep, but he was too tired, unable to resist the real sleepiness at all, and soon fell into that kind of sleepiness. In a half-dream and half-awake state, when he was in a daze, someone suddenly pushed him, and he woke up with a jerk, only to hear Li Siming say in the lowest voice next to his ear: "The right front, it seems to be a fire."

Si Xuanyi immediately subconsciously looked forward to the right, and it was still dark. He was not even sure whether he was looking in the right direction. After several reminders from Li Siming, he finally saw that the darkness seemed to be different in one position. The absolute darkness seems a lot lighter...
