With a miner's lamp on our heads, we kept trekking in the dark.

Because we have lost the equipment to detect the direction, we can only rely on a very vague guess to move forward now, that is, the amount of water.

The underground where we are located is located under the Devil's Lake. Because of its extreme depth and proximity to the volcano, the underground is very dry, but if we want to go out, we just need to go to a place with a lot of water.

But this judgment standard is not very accurate, because there is still an underground water system, which will inevitably cause some interference to us.

So we walked hard underground for two days, but still didn't see any way out.

"We only have so much food left."

A few of us got together and shone our flashlights on the only three cans left on the ground.

The contents of these three cans are not ordinary food, but high-compression space food, but even so, these foods are only enough for a few of us to eat for a day. If we save some food, we may last for two to three days. sky.

Fortunately for us, there are many underground water sources, and we are not short of water now.

In addition, what worried me the most was Xi'er. Although the rest of us were tired, we were all in good health, with only minor injuries, but Xi'er's face became paler and she showed signs of vomiting several times.

She gradually lost her ability to move, and I have been trekking with her on my back for the past two days.

Her body temperature also started to become abnormal. When I was carrying her on my back, I felt like I was carrying a stove. The burning heat on my back made me extremely anxious.

"Zhang Qi, looking at sister Xi'er's symptoms, it is very likely that she has a tumor in her stomach, and she must get professional treatment as soon as possible."

Li Xin said this after checking Qian'er's body.

Xi'er was harmed by the radiation in Catherine's explosion, and the cells in her stomach mutated, causing nausea and vomiting and tumor growth.Fortunately, her mutation did not appear in other parts of her body, such as her brain, otherwise she might not be able to survive these few days.

We really don't have much time left!

Seeing that Xi'er was in so much pain and vomited everything she ate, I couldn't help but want to take out the fragments of the Origin Stone many times, trying to use that thing to see if I could save her.

However, the appearance of the indigenous people jumping on the Origin Stone one by one, and eventually their bodies exploded or died in other strange ways, kept reappearing in my mind, which made me dare not make this decision.

Maybe the Origin Stone can save Qian'er, but maybe it will hasten her death.

"Damn it, where is the way out!"

We didn't delay for too long, counted the food, and continued to trek frantically. If we walked slowly, we might be able to last longer, but seeing Xi'er like this, how can I still walk slowly?
"Xie'er, you must persevere, we will definitely be able to go back alive, the outside world is so exciting, and Qian'er, you haven't finished watching the TV series you like!"

I started talking to Xier constantly, trying to cheer her up.

We didn't have enough food, so I secretly gave her my share. She couldn't eat it, so I chewed it up and fed it to her.

In this way, we persisted for another day and a half, and our food was almost exhausted, but as far as the eye could see, it was still an endless darkness.

For five or six days in a row, we have been trudging in the dark. In order to save energy, we hardly turn on the lights. We can only listen to the sound and walk according to the smell.

The underground is different from the ground. There are stars and all kinds of scattered lights at night. There is only black here, endless black, endless black!
The black that can make people go crazy!
Those who have not experienced it may never understand the boundless sense of fear and despair.

Hunger and pain make us move more and more slowly.

The underground is actually not safe. There should be many monsters living below, but maybe because of me, or simply because of the influence of the Origin Stone, those underground creatures are afraid of it.

It was very quiet along the way, and we barely encountered anything alive.

That dead silence can drive people crazy.

At this point, I have no time to pay attention to the captured "Sister Man", and I don't know if it is because she has adapted to the underground environment, she is actually the one with the best mental state among us.

Sure enough, on the third day of our long journey, "Sister Man" ran away while we were not paying attention.

We don't even know exactly when she left.

We didn't have the energy to catch her, but this gave us a wake-up call. In order to prevent everyone from falling behind, we had to hold hands, and we agreed to pinch each other every step we took to make sure that she was still there.

However, just walking like this, Yu Chengyao suddenly screamed.

"Li Xin didn't move, she let go of my hand!"

I quickly turned around, turned on the light source, and looked at the back, only to see Li Xin collapsed not far behind us, her face was as white as paper, extremely haggard, she was lying there so quietly, Like never waking up.

We quickly crawled to her side. Fortunately, although her breathing was weak, it did not disappear, but her body temperature was a little high, which was painful.

Tired and hungry, Li Xin also fell ill.

Among the four of us, two became sick at once!

Is there any hope for us to survive?

We roared and called her name, and Li Xin managed to open her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Zhang Qi, and Yao, I can't accompany you guys, give up on me!"

Li Xin smiled and said to us that her eyes were already full of hot tears, but she still held back stubbornly, not wanting to let them flow out.

"What stupid things are you talking about, how could I give up on you!"

I yelled those words.

After this trip, Wang Jin died, Lucy died, and many team members either died or disappeared, and even Qian'er was sick, and she is still dying. I have to watch Li Xin helplessly, forever Do you sleep forever in this darkness?

I knew I couldn't do it, so I struggled to hug her up.

On my back is Xi'er tied to me with a rope, and it is obviously very difficult to hold Li Xin again. The lack of food during this period has made my physical condition extremely bad. Almost fell.

"Let me come."

Yucheng Yao's somewhat flat voice sounded.

I knew that according to her style of conduct, she would probably choose to leave Li Xin behind, but she changed her mind after seeing how persistent I was.

Yuchengyao also used the rope to carry Li Xin on her back, and each of us carried the other on our backs, moving forward little by little in the dark, even if it was as slow as a turtle, we were still walking.

Because we understand that if we stay where we are, there is only a dead end, and only by walking can we have hope!
