A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

"Let her go? This is not good..."

You Qingyu hesitated to speak.

There are many reasons for "not so good". First, it is the players' business to enter the dungeon, and it is always weird for others to play forward; second, she may not be able to discover various mechanisms normally like the players.

However, the puppet itself obviously doesn't think so.She immediately grabbed You Qingyu's trouser legs, and she almost wrote "I'm going" on her face.

"Let her try, it doesn't hurt if it doesn't work." Zhao Jun didn't hide his purpose, "It's much safer for her to go than for us to go, she is not a human being, she shouldn't have to breathe, she won't drown, and she won't drown." Can't stand the water pressure?"

"That's true, but..."

Fang Shiqing thought for a while, then took out the rope that he carried with him and asked her: "Can you take this with you? If you find anything, you must come back to us along the rope first, and don't run around by yourself, so that you can save him efficiently .”

The puppet nodded and tied one end of the rope around its wrist.

She tried to pick up a big stone, but this time she managed to sink into the water easily.

She walked to the depths of the lake and gradually sank.A layer of ripples appeared on the surface of the water, and everyone stared at that position breathlessly.

She returned much faster than expected.But two or three minutes later, she popped up a few meters away and walked back with difficulty along the rope.

"Uh, in fact, you can throw away the stone when you are going to float..."

Zeng Xin helped pull the doll to the shore. She lowered her head and held something tightly in her hand.

——It is the name tag pinned on the collar of the bar staff, with Gu Jinhong's name written on it.

He... really sank to the bottom of the lake?

"Is he down there? I mean, maybe his dead body, no, uh..."

The puppet shook its head, gestured, and seemed to say, "There's only this name tag down there."

"Did you see anything else down there?"

The puppet nodded and shook its head, appearing preoccupied.

He Xiangwu took out his notebook and pen and handed them to her.She picked up the pen, acting like a child who can't write. After thinking about it, she first drew a big circle in the middle of the paper, and drew a lot of wavy lines outside the circle.

"...What is this? Is there a big rock under the water? Or is there a big hole?"

Several people made various guesses one after another, but the puppet just kept shaking its head.

"...Looks like I'll have to go down and see for myself." Xiao Fengdi frowned, "I'd better go down while it's only ten minutes before four o'clock."

"But..." Fang Shiqing grabbed his arm subconsciously, paused for a few seconds, and let it go silently.

This action of his made the opponent hesitate.

"By the way, how deep is the water?" You Qingyu suddenly remembered.

"According to the information I found, the deepest place is about 20 meters." It was Xiao Fengdi who answered.

"That is to say, if the entrance of the instance is at the bottom, we all have to dive to a depth of 20 meters," You Qingyu asked the others, "Can everyone know how to swim and dive? Let me say first, I can swim a little, but I can't It's just a level where you won't drown in the deep water area of ​​the swimming pool."

"I think I'm okay. I participated in city competitions when I was in middle school, but I haven't dived in the water." He Xiangwu said.

"I learned it from my family. I haven't dived before, so swimming is probably passable." This is Zeng Xin.

"In this way, I should be the one who can swim the best?" Zhao Jun said proudly, "I even passed the diving certification test a few years ago."

It seems that there is only one real landlubber, Fang Shiqing couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Since you are so good at swimming, I'll let you go down and have a look on behalf of everyone." You Qingyu nodded Zhao Jun with his elbow.The latter hesitated for a moment, but agreed: "All right, then I will go."

Fang Shiqing felt a little sorry, but didn't say anything.He didn't want the boss to leave his side at this time. Although this thought was selfish, it did exist.

Zhao Jun took off his coat and shoes, tied the rope around his body, moved briefly, and jumped down with a stone.He also floated up in less than 2 minutes, with a weird expression on his face.

"Next...how should I put it, I feel very..."

He frowned and thought for a long time before uttering a word: "Cold."

The water in this lake is not too clear, and there is no light at the depth of more than ten meters.There are still many fish from the bottom of the water to about ten meters, but it is empty deeper, and it reaches the bottom at about 20 meters.

The bottom was a thick layer of silt, but somewhere near the center of the lake the mud suddenly turned into white sand, forming a very distinct circle.

Seen from directly above, the circular pattern is unexpectedly similar to the picture drawn by the puppet.

The moment he saw it clearly, Zhao Jun suddenly felt a coolness that made the hair stand on end. It may be the subconsciousness of the creature to the crisis, so he came back without daring to stay any longer.

"...So, you came back without knowing anything." You Qingyu was a little disappointed, Zhao Jun shook his head, and opened his pocket: "I really came back in a hurry, but before I came up, I still remembered to dress up. something."

In his pocket was a small handful of pure white sand.

Xiao Fengdi twisted it a little and rubbed it carefully for a long time.

"Brother Xiao, did you find anything?"

"This is ordinary sand." Xiao Fengdi said.

According to him, in the industry of spirit removers, relatively pure sand is a relatively stable thing. Although it has no ability to exorcise evil spirits, it can seal ghosts on the other side, so it is often used as a way of sealing .

In other words, under the sand, there might be something...

Almost everything that needs to be investigated has been investigated, and all the players can do next is just sit quietly and wait for it to get dark.After dark, everyone went down together to see if any special phenomenon could be triggered.

"Shiqing, don't you know how to swim?" Zeng Xin asked him while waiting.

"……Um."

"Then why don't you go down this time?" She said again, "It seems that you must go into the water this time. It may not be good if you don't know how to swim."

Xiao Fengdi also heard her words and turned his head slightly.

"It shouldn't matter, the whole dungeon won't be in the water the whole time, right? I'll just find a way to overcome it."

"Brother Fang, don't you know how to swim?" He Xiangwu volunteered, "I'll take you swimming. I once taught three students how to swim in one summer vacation. It should be quite reliable."

"..." Xiao Fengdi stared at him, but He Xiangwu didn't notice.

The others almost felt sorry for the fool.He is probably the only one who hasn't noticed the problem yet.

"No need," Fang Shiqing said with his hand on his forehead, "I'll just be with the boss."

Considering that the players are easy to get lost after entering the water, during the waiting time, Fang Shiqing tied a stone to the end of the rope and threw it far into a deep place in the middle of the lake to make a simple guide rope. Including the puppet, they are connected to the guide rope with another rope, so that the activities will not be affected.

It was getting dark, so Fang Shiqing put the flashlight in a transparent bag and tied it around his waist, so that although the brightness will be slightly lost, it can be illuminated underwater.He also gave out the transparent bags, which he used to store seeds, with others.

The roar of zombies echoed not far away, and now the time was approaching eight o'clock in the evening.

It is impossible for diving to involve as many people as mountaineering.Even a person like Xiao Fengdi with good physical strength and water skills can barely take one person with him at most.

Therefore, when entering the water, the players are already mentally prepared that they may be separated.

"Shall we go down now?"

"Ah."

Fang Shiqing became more and more nervous, Xiao Fengdi said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, just hold your breath and try to relax as much as possible. I have nothing else to do."

"……Um."

The moon came out, casting pale light on the water.

Fang Shiqing held his breath as he said, and at the moment when he submerged in the water, a familiar feeling of fear came, and Xiao Fengdi reached out his hand in time to cover his mouth and nose, and led him all the way down.

After the initial panic passed, he gradually discovered that the incident of "entering the water" didn't seem so scary.

The body temperature of another person clings to him, pulling him down with his own strength.

The cool lake water is squeezed from all around, but the pressure it brings is far less than the real water pressure.After he got used to it, he tentatively opened his eyes. The flashlight could illuminate a few meters in front of him, and the dim yellow light flickered slightly.

This place was only two or three meters deep. Xiao Fengdi held his waist with one hand, and covered his mouth and nose with the other hand, and the two of them moved to a deeper place at a moderate speed.

The average person can hold their breath underwater for about 1 minute. In the game, almost everyone's lung capacity has increased and they can hold their breath for longer. Even Fang Shiqing can hold his breath for nearly 2 minutes. In addition, he does not need to move, and his oxygen consumption is extremely high. Slower.

Fang Shiqing turned his head and suddenly realized that the rope tied to his body disappeared at some point.Not only that, but there was nothing in sight, no other teammates, and no guide rope.

They have advanced to a considerable depth.In the deep water, in this seemingly isolated place, it seemed that there were only the two of them left.

Miraculously, after realizing this, Fang Shiqing didn't panic anymore.He just tugged at Xiao Fengdi, and raised his wrist that was originally tied with a rope as a gesture.

The other party nodded slightly, as if not surprised.

They are still diving, and it has only been about half a minute since they entered the water.

Xiao Fengdi suddenly grabbed the flashlight at Fang Shiqing's waist and lifted it up slightly.Fang Shiqing followed the light and looked over, this time he was really dumbfounded:

Not far in front of him is the bottom of the lake, and a whole piece of white circular sand is spread out.The diameter of this circle is about five or six meters, and it is very clearly distinguished from the mud next to it. In the middle of the white sand——

A square black shadow looms.

If you're not mistaken, it's...

A coffin.

It was an old-looking, huge coffin!

This is really amazing, if it wasn't for his mouth and nose being covered, he would have almost lost his breath.No matter who came down before, they didn't mention the coffin at all, so it was conceivable that it wasn't here at all during the day.

Xiao Fengdi continued to lead him to move to the side of the coffin.It was tightly sealed, the paint on the outside was almost completely peeled off, and what looked like algae was tangled around the corners.

Fang Shiqing calmed down a little, he began to feel a little short of breath.He scanned the outside of the coffin with his flashlight, hoping to find a breakthrough, otherwise he might not last long.

——At this moment, a cold hand touched his neck.

"?!"

Fang Shiqing immediately turned his head, turned the flashlight and looked back, but there was nothing behind him.

Sensing his movements, Xiao Fengdi cast a questioning look, as if he hadn't noticed any aliens approaching at all.

And the moment the two of them turned their attention away...

The coffin in front of him slid open without a sound.
