Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

Zhang Qiling and Tan Yuchen had the same idea. There were several monkeys guarding the gap where they were, so they simply walked in.

Zhang Qiling held Qin Yuchen's hand with one hand and walked sideways to lead the way, while the other hand held the flashlight Qin Yuchen handed him.

Tan Yuchen originally wanted to take a rest before continuing on his way, but the gap was too narrow and it was difficult to walk sideways in some places, so he could only give up the idea and let Zhang Qiling lead him forward.

Tan Yuchen carried his backpack and black knife and looked at the profile of the person in front of him, then looked down at the hand holding his wrist, and smiled with his eyes bent.

The hand holding him was warm and strong, and the warmth in the palm was transmitted to him bit by bit through the wrist, straight to the bottom of his heart.

Tan Yuchen couldn't help but shake his arms slightly, wanting the people in front to notice what they were doing.

The person in front did notice, but instead of retracting his hand as Qin Yuchen imagined, he instead tightened his grip and tightened his grip.

Qin Yuchen raised his eyebrows, shook his head again, and then stopped moving.

Zhang Qiling felt that the people behind him became quiet. The hand holding the flashlight tugged on the brim of his hat, and raised the corners of his lips as if he was in a good mood.

He didn't know Tan Yuchen's expression, but from his movements, Zhang Qiling knew that Tan Yuchen was simply shaking his arm rather than asking him to let go.

So he just followed his own intention and tightened his grip.

Zhang Qiling didn't really understand why he had such thoughts in his heart, but when he thought that the other party was Tan Yuchen, he felt that those things that he couldn't figure out were not so important.

It should be okay to be willful once, Zhang Qiling thought.

……

Zhang Qiling led Qin Yuchen through the narrow gap to a wider area for people to rest.

There is no danger in this gap, so they are not in a hurry to find Wuxie and Laochi.

Qin Yuchen found a place to sit against the wall, took out a bottle of water from his bag and handed it to Zhang Qiling:

"I'll take a few minutes to sleep, and you can rest for a while too."

"Yeah." Zhang Qiling took the water and sat down.

For Qin Yuchen, a few minutes of light sleep is enough. Because he has lived in a harsh environment for a long time, he has long learned how to restore his energy to the greatest extent.

As for why take a break? It was because the monkey had spent too much energy chasing them, and he was walking sideways this way, so he was inevitably a little tired.

After Zhang Qiling drank the water and put the things away, he leaned against someone holding the knife and began to close his eyes and rest.

……

Wu Xie and Lao Chu walked forward for an unknown amount of time. Now there was a pool of water in front of them. The depth could not be seen. The area of ​​the water was very wide. If it were more accurate, it should be said to be a pool, but it was just next to a stone. You can clearly see the bottom of the rocks.

"Lao Wu, there's no other way. How about we get across?" Lao Itch looked around with his flashlight. The only way was at the end of the water, where he could only see one person exposed in the water. Semi-arc black hole.

"I don't know the depth of this water. I'm afraid it will be dangerous to go down hastily." Wuxie looked at the turbid water and hesitated. The two of them had no equipment. The only things they had were a flashlight and the knife that Qin Yuchen threw to him.

So if there is something under the water, they shouldn't be able to kill it quickly based on their reflexes.

"I'll try it first." Lao Itchi didn't intend to give up after hearing Wu Xie's words, and offered to explore the way.

"It's not the old itch..."

Ignoring the innocent obstruction, Lao Itch came to the edge of the pond, took a deep breath and slowly entered the water. As soon as he took the first step, Lao Itch was agitated.

"What's wrong?!" Wuxie asked quickly.

"This damn water is too cold." Lao Itch retracted his feet and said. He took another deep breath, closed his eyes and stepped directly into the water. The biting cold water made Lao Itch unable to stop shivering. But he still didn't flinch and slowly moved towards the center.

Seeing Lao Chu's appearance, Wu Xie seemed to be able to understand how cold the accumulated water was. He looked down at the tattered clothes and fabrics on his body, swallowed and said:

"Lao Itchy, why don't you come up first while we consider other routes?"

"Don't be afraid, Lao Wu, the water is not deep."

Wuxie rolled his eyes when he heard what Lao Chu said. Is this a question of whether the water is deep or not? ! And you call the water up to your waist not deep? What's more, we haven't even reached the black hole yet.

At the moment when he was innocently complaining, Lao Itchi’s voice sounded:

"Lao Wu, come on, this hole is not long, you can get through it." Lao Wu has reached the end of his itch, and now he is supporting Wu Xie with one hand and waving to Wu Xie with the other.

The water level at the entrance of the cave had reached Lao Qi's chest. When he bent down to check the situation in the cave, the water could directly touch his face.

Wu Xie was still hesitant at first, but she didn't know whether Lao Chu was afraid of the cold or something else, so she bent over and got in without waiting for him:

"Old Itchy, wait for me."

Wu Xie screamed, but before waiting for Lao Chu's reply, he hesitated for a long time and had no choice but to grit his teeth and get into the stagnant water.

The coldness swept over him instantly, Wuxie endured the shivers and hurried towards the entrance of the cave, and finally followed him into the hole without thinking.

This hole was not very long as Lao Itch said. He followed Lao Itch in about ten minutes before reaching the other end. The water level here was deeper than at the beginning, but fortunately there was a big stone on the right hand side. , which is just enough for them to take a rest.

Wuxie quickly swam towards the big rock with a few quick pulls, and finally managed to get up with the help of Lao Itch.
