The cave formed by the stalactites was the same as when we left. Holding the flashlight, I turned over and climbed out as carefully as possible. After standing still, I immediately looked around.

I was a little relieved when I found out that the place was empty.

I put down the team member on my back, and then helped the two team members who were following me, withdraw from the narrow passage.

After they were all slumped on the ground, I held up the flashlight and came to the pile of embers in the cave.

The firewood was burnt black, but as soon as the lamp was turned on, it was found that this thing was coated with a layer of grease and reflected light.

clack.

Take out the flint and easily ignite the embers.

The weak flame is not too important to this gloomy cave. They also felt the heat of the flame. In fact, the two team members were already exhausted and had no strength at all, but they still endured it and climbed up bit by bit. By the fire.

"call……"

The conditions here are as simple as a fire.

But the faces of the two people reflecting the firelight showed happy smiles, as if they were in heaven at this moment.

I opened my mouth and wanted to say something.

However, I know that their consciousness is already on the verge of fuzziness, and if they don't do anything, they will soon become corpses.

I turned off the flashlight.

With the faint light of the flame, his gaze scanned the surrounding area, and finally landed on the place where the children of the aborigines stayed with the women at that time, and there were a few rough mud tiles piled up in the corner of the wall Can.

I strode forward, picked up one of them, and shook it.

There is some sound of water inside.

I took a sip to make sure the water in it was drinkable, then picked up another jar and looked at it.

Unfortunately, it is empty...

I went through every mason jar stacked against the wall, and most of them were empty. Only four of them had contents, except for one jar of water, and two and a half jars. food.

Pour it out and take a look, it is some dry and hard lumps.

into black and red.

It smells a bit meaty, and when I chew it in my mouth, the taste really makes me hard to swallow.

It is dry and spicy, and there is an indescribably bitter taste. Normally, I would never use this kind of thing as food, but today is different from the past. At this moment, we have no choice at all. It's good to eat and drink some, so how can you be picky?
I carried four earthen pots and came to the two team members.

Pour out all the dried meat in one of the earthen jars.

"Can...can you eat?"

One of the team members looked at the jerky that fell on the ground, picked it up tentatively, and then raised his head to look at me.

"Yes." I nodded.

After getting my answer, the two of them got a burst of strength from where they didn't know, as if they were going crazy, they grabbed the dried meat on the ground and stuffed it into their mouths.

The stuff was dry and hard, hard to swallow.

But for the two people who have already landed at the airport, any food, as long as it can enter the stomach, is a rare delicacy.

"There's still water here."

I handed over the crock filled with water again.

Watching the two of them chewing and drinking water, after eating almost, I picked up the remaining water, and then brought a few pieces of jerky, and came to the team member who was still in high fever.

I first gave him a little water.

After he regained his sanity a little bit, he tore the dried meat that he had brought over into strips and stuffed it into his mouth.

Although others are not fully awake yet.

But his stomach and body, which had been hungry for a long time, had already reacted. In a daze, he chewed the jerky in his mouth.

I tested the temperature on his forehead.

very hot.

There is no sign of improvement in the condition. Although a cold and fever are not considered serious illnesses, given our current conditions...

Wait until he eats something.

I carried him to the fire, a group of four, silent around the small fire.

I quietly watched them fall asleep one after another, snoring like thunder. After they all fell asleep, I put my eyes on the entrance of the cave. That is the only way to get in here. I have to be on guard all the time. with the aborigines coming here.

My heart is a little heavy.

If we save some food, the jerky on hand should be enough for the few of us to last for two or three days.

but……

Can we find the exit in two or three days?
From the traces I found along the way, I can roughly judge that those aborigines should have left here with their families. This at least proves that there is still a way out...

Shaking my head, I don't think so much anymore.

To be able to live for a while is a while, and any other beautiful fantasy is a luxury for us in this situation.

Here, there is no difference between day and night.

I sat there quietly, I couldn't even feel the passage of time, and I didn't know how long it took before the two sleeping players gradually woke up.

This time, their mental state was significantly better than before.

"Captain, would you like some too?"

As soon as the two team members woke up, they grabbed the dried meat scattered on the ground and chewed it like eating dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder.

I shook my head.

"Hurry up and eat, and we'll be on our way as soon as you finish eating."

As I spoke, I picked up two pieces of jerky and came to the team member with a high fever. I was about to feed him something, but when the two people around me heard what I said, they stopped eating. I thought they had opinions on my decision, but what I didn't expect was that one of them actually said it.

"team leader……"

"Is something wrong?"

I turned my head and looked at the team member who spoke just now, and saw that his face turned ruthless, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Now we can't take care of ourselves, let's leave a burden like him alone!"

"There isn't much food left in the first place. Adding him as a burden will do us no good."

"If the living have nothing to eat, how can we care about him?"

These words shocked me.

I know all too well the selfishness of human nature that can manifest itself under the most extreme conditions.

And now, such a real side is presented in front of my eyes.

Because of love, I didn't want anyone in the team to die, but I had no choice but to watch many people turn into corpses in front of me.

Yu Li, but I have to admit...he was right.
