Deep Sea Diary [Another World]

As soon as the words came out, they resonated much more than the phrase "a little hungry" in the Mediterranean just now.Almost everyone raised their heads and said in surprise, "I'm not alone?!"

"I thought it was because I was too nervous, which made me panic and sweat!" Beer Belly raised his hand and touched the sweat on his forehead, and said, "So it's really getting hot and stuffy?"

In many cases, when people encounter some not-so-optimistic things, they will subconsciously look for empathy from other people. If they find that they are not the only unlucky ones, and there are other people accompanying them to "share the troubles", the depression in their hearts will It will be somewhat relieved, which may be a consolation that is not on the table but does work.

But now, everyone nested in the cave has a common idea in their hearts - they really would rather suffer alone this time!

Seeing other people responding one after another, they really couldn't feel relieved at all. On the contrary, they all felt empty in their hearts.Because if everyone felt the sweltering heat, it meant that this cave was finally going to lose its title of "refuge".

"It's not bad, thanks to the meteorite that hit the front entrance..." Dennis comforted himself, trying to get his attention back to the oscilloscope.

They were able to hide in this cave for so long, thanks to the meteorite that was about to fall.If the meteorite hadn't smashed down the front hole and blocked it tightly, at this time, if the front and rear holes were ventilated, the smoke and dust should have entered the hole 800 years ago.

Everyone understood more or less in their hearts that the situation they felt now was probably the sequelae of the falling meteorites.They don't know how big the world they are in is, but no matter how big it is, according to the density of the heavenly girl's flowers before, the falling meteorites are enough to affect everything——

Not to mention the heavy impurities and dust all over the sky, the continuous friction of meteorites against the backlog of air and the four fires will cause the overall temperature of this world to soar, and countless gases that are not conducive to breathing are mixed into the air... and so on.

Just thinking about it makes me feel cold.

The more nervous you are, the more oxygen you consume, and the more stuffy you feel in this situation.What's more, Dennis and Zhao Feng'er couldn't stop their hands, they were still working, sweating from their brows.Middle-aged people like the Mediterranean and beer bellies can't stand such an environment.

So soon, the breathing in the cave became a lot more heavy, one after another, influencing each other, almost stirring up the effect of summer cicadas, making people feel irritated.Among them, only three people's breathing sounds are still stable——

Deep Blue, Xia Chuan, and the little guy Allen.

The first two are because of their very calm personality, and they basically don't blink when they don't see death.And Allen was too young to understand the meaning of the words between the adults, so he still maintained a relatively normal breathing in the sweltering heat, but occasionally he would come to Laura's ear and hum in a low voice.

Xia Chuan stood up amidst the anxiety around him, glanced in the direction of Dennis and Zhao Fenger, and then greeted everyone: "Pull a piece of cloth off your body, there is a pool next door."

He spoke briefly, but everyone immediately understood what he meant—once he went out, the air outside would be too dusty, and if he covered his mouth and nose with a cloth moistened with water, some of it could be filtered out.

Just when everyone got up and flocked to the next door, and prepared wet cloths according to Xia Chuan's words, Dennis and Zhao Feng'er here finally raised their heads and shouted: "It's done!"

Xia Chuan and Shen Lan were waiting for them by the side of the side road with the cloth strips prepared for them. Hearing this, they walked over quickly and asked, "What's changed?"

"Um...you can't see it." Dennis and Zhaofeng'er took the cloth strips, handed the oscilloscope to Xia Chuan and Shenlan at the same time, and briefly explained: "In short, it should be more sensitive than before."

Deep Blue caught the words: "Should?"

Dennis shrugged.

"What if the sensitivity gets worse instead?" Deep Blue looked suspiciously at the oscilloscope, only to see that the back cover of the originally tightly sealed black box had been violently removed by them, even if it was reinstalled, it was still broken Two corners, through the breach, you can see the intricate lines inside, messy, it makes people feel unconfident.

However, Zhao Fenger raised his chin and promised: "If it really gets worse, I'll cut off my head and kick it for you!"

Deep Blue glanced at him with a mentally ill look, then put the oscilloscope back into Dennis's hand and left it alone.

Instead, Xia Chuan reminded again: "Be careful of waterproofing."

"Oh yes!" Dennis only cared about the thing, and almost carried it out. Hearing Xia Chuan's words, he suddenly remembered that he didn't pack a waterproof bag.He stopped and rummaged through the black backpack in front of his chest, wrapped the opened oscilloscope tightly with a waterproof bag, and then walked out behind Xia Chuan and Shenlan with confidence.

Now that the cave has become stuffy and hot, if you continue to stay here, you will really have to wait for death.

Everyone gathered at the entrance of the third fork. Professor Linton translated to everyone the information he had learned from Xia Chuan and Shen Lan's eyes, and gave some instructions.

"Okay, let's go." After Professor Linton finished speaking, he briefly moved his legs and feet, gave Laura a thumbs up and shook it, and then tied a wet cloth on his mouth and nose, calling for everyone to turn out of the hole.

The hole is about a good size for a small and thin person, but for a tall person like Shenlan and the others, it is really a bit crowded.Of course, Shenlan didn't have the patience to slowly crawl out of the hole, just thinking about that stupid movement made him feel sick.

So he took the frontmost position without saying a word, gathered his strength without saying hello, and set his feet against the thinner stone wall at the entrance of the cave.His strength has always been astonishing, Xia Chuan and the others have long been used to it, but the others in this cave are not used to it yet.They stared dumbfounded at the hole that had been enlarged by a large circle after the rolling of the gravel, and they couldn't speak a word for a long time.

Naturally, Deep Blue wouldn't wait for them, but first supported himself with one hand, rolled out of the hole, and then hooked his fingers at Xia Chuan who was in the hole.

Xia Chuan: "..."

Of course, Deep Blue is not actually teasing or anything like that, but to remind Xia Chuan, don't ink, it's time to start.

Everyone was still immersed in the shock of kicking a big hole with their feet, seeing that he couldn't respond to his gestures at all, but when they were stunned, Xia Chuan had already picked up one and stuffed it towards the entrance of the hole without any explanation.Deep Blue caught the person who rolled out outside the cave, and let him roll to the side. Like Professor Linton, he gave Xia Chuan a thumbs-up, signaling: Great cooperation!

Deep Blue had been gesturing at Xia Chuan as early as in the cave—letting such a group of crooked, bald, and big-bellied bastards grumble at the entrance of the cave, they would have to climb until the year of the monkey to get out of the cave, so it would be better to throw them quickly!

Facts have proved that Shen Lan and Xia Chuan can climb much faster than everyone else by themselves. In a blink of an eye, everyone rolled into a ball outside the cave like a round watermelon.

There are two worlds inside and outside the cave!

When looking out from the cave before, the field of vision was limited and they couldn't see clearly. Now when they really stood in the thick dust and fog, everyone realized that the facts were worse than they expected in the cave——

The dust cloud almost covered the sky, and the visibility was terribly low. They couldn't see anything except the nearest people and tree trunks. The sky was gloomy and black, as if the world had always stayed at three or four o'clock in the morning. In the dimly lit night.Other than that, there was a dead silence... a dead silence that made people feel uneasy and frightened.

Before fleeing into the cave, the world is full of weird and ferocious beasts, big and small, from dinosaurs to insects, they are everywhere, and it seems that none of them can be provoked.And they are the only humans in this world.They thought that racial loneliness was enough to make people feel depressed... But now, they found that it was nothing at all.

In today's dead silence, they can't even hear the sounds of wild beasts and insects, and the tall trees and grass have become blurred and blurred. This is not just a sense of racial loneliness, they even suspect that the world is apart from them Apart from these eleven people, there was no other living creature to be found.

"Are... dead?" Laura murmured, protecting Alan in her arms.

Her voice was muffled behind the damp cloth, as indistinct as the tree shadows in the dust and mist, and everyone felt a sense of emptiness when they heard it.

At this time, it was still Xia Chuan who spoke first: "Let's go."

The arrangement of this 11-member team was similar to the previous four-member team, with Deep Blue still leading and Xia Chuan at the rear.The people in the middle were walking closely one by one, crowding forward.In normal times, no one would like to rub against others in a stuffy and hot situation, but in this situation, they all feel that physical touch is more reassuring.

It seems that the constant contact can constantly remind them: I have companions, I am not alone.

In the thick dust and fog, it was impossible to identify the direction at all. Fortunately, there was the oscilloscope held by Dennis preciously.

He was staring at the screen of the oscilloscope almost the whole time, only relying on his peripheral vision to pay attention to the road under his feet, and there were people on both sides of him in front of and behind him, completely protecting him in the middle.

The wavy lines on the screen kept beating, and those who were curious looked at it twice, but couldn't understand anything, so they had to give up, retract their heads, and obediently followed the large army.

Xia Chuan has noticed that since he came out of the cave, the oscilloscope still hasn’t made that kind of “zzzzing” sound, but Dennis can also have a way to distinguish the direction of travel just by looking at the wave line.He pursed his lips tightly and followed at the end of the crowd, always paying attention to the surrounding situation, even though all he saw along the way was the corpse of a giant beast.

Dennis is the one who controls the general direction, while Deep Blue relies on hearing to control the small direction.He accurately led everyone to avoid several seas of fire and a collapsing mountain.

However, the further they walked, the more chilled they felt—because the corpses all over the ground seemed to be confirming their conjectures, it seemed that there were really not many living things left in this world.

How long they walked, even I can't figure it out, I only know that I have been following Shenlan and moving mechanically, the hunger in my stomach has changed from faint to more and more obvious, to the point where I can't ignore it, and then I was hungry again Gradually numb as if it was gone, and I no longer feel it.The soles of my feet were sore and painful, and my muscles and bones felt stiff even after a little movement in the end.

But these are not the most difficult.

What is difficult is that the surrounding temperature is always rising, but it does not change suddenly, but increases little by little like a frog boiled in warm water.This kind of heat is not the scorching heat of the sun, but closer to the feeling of being stuffed in a sauna room, the temperature is too hot but you can't get out, and you can't find a vent.

Everyone was covered in sweat, but they didn't have the refreshment of sweating profusely, but were wet and sticky, which made people feel a sense of powerlessness and anxiety that couldn't go away.

What is even more unbearable is the feeling of lack of oxygen that keeps increasing, which makes them suddenly feel that they are in a dream, dreaming that they are stuffed in a big earthen jar, and they can't breathe until they wake up. I found that I was stuffing myself in the quilt.It's just that the reality is very cruel, they will only have the process of being constantly depressed, but they will not have the result of waking up and lifting the quilt to suddenly inhale fresh air.

"I think I want to throw up..." The beer belly was the first one who couldn't hold it. After two steps with difficulty, he supported a tall tree. The trunk of the tall tree was obviously full of fine and dense burrs. I pressed my palm on it but didn't notice it, I just bent over and retched twice, but I haven't eaten for a long time, my stomach was already empty and couldn't be more empty, and I couldn't vomit anything.

He rolled his eyes and sat down leaning against the tree, waving his hands at everyone: "You go, I... vomit... I can't walk anymore."

Everyone stopped in place, and none of them looked any better than him to see where to go.

"You still have the strength to speak, why don't you have the strength to leave?!" The relatively better Shenlan walked up to him and tugged at his arm.

Deep Blue is not tired, but dry... He has lived in this world for so many years, and he has never been out of water for such a long time.When I was running with Xia Chuan and the others in the forest, the humidity in the air was high, so I could bear it for a while.But now, the surrounding sea of ​​fire has long evaporated the water vapor, and the whole air is so dry that he feels that every time he moves, the skin on his body is cracking.

In fact, rather than exporting such illusory things, he wanted to find a water source quickly and let him jump in and relax.

But even then, it can only alleviate the problem of dryness and wetness... Mosasaur is also a creature that uses lungs to breathe, and his current degree of hypoxia is no worse than other people. If he returns to his body, it may be even more serious...

"Let's go, don't waste time with me..." Beer Belly always blares, his voice can never be lowered, but this time he said it like a mosquito humming, almost inaudible, when he spoke, his eyes were half closed It seemed that once he slumped down and lost the breath of support, he fell into a half-dream and half-awake state.

"Sleeping fart!" Seeing that she couldn't pull it up, Shen Lan slapped him.

However, he still sat there paralyzed as if he didn't know the pain, and it took him a long time before he hummed back: "Sleepy..."

He said these two words extremely vaguely, as if his tongue had lost the strength to move, and his eyelids drooped and closed as if they couldn't hold it anymore.

Xia Chuan, who was walking at the end, walked around to the front, frowned and looked, then put his hand under the nose of the beer belly, paused for a moment, withdrew his hand, and shook his head at everyone.He can be regarded as the one with the best physical strength besides Deep Blue, and his face is also sickly pale at this time, and his breathing is also very heavy.

Looking at his appearance, Shen Lan knew that he didn't have the strength to speak anymore.

So he looked at the dust and mist in front of him, then at the beer belly lying under the tree, and waved to everyone: "...let's go on."

But after saying this, he himself didn't raise his feet immediately, but raised his hand to grab the clothes and arms of Beer Belly, and moved him a little bit, and then led the crowd to continue walking forward.

After walking a few steps, someone looked back, and saw the straightened beer belly sitting with his back leaning against a tall tree, his head lowered very low, and only a hazy silhouette remained in the dust and mist, as if he was tired from the journey , I found a comfortable place and fell asleep...

Although they couldn't count the number of corpses they saw along the way, but it was the first time they watched their companions fall halfway, even if it wasn't a deep friendship, they still felt depressed, and the steps under their feet became even more difficult .

After walking for a while, Shenlan's ears moved, his face turned pale, and he said in a low voice, "There is water."

Severe hypoxia and thirst made him lack the energy to say more words, but only these two words were enough for people to understand - not far ahead, there is a water source.

It is probably only at this time that people will realize the instinctive connection between water and life, just like drinking some water does not give them much recovery, but they feel refreshed when they hear this word. vibration.

As expected, Shen Lan was right. After walking for about a hundred meters, they really saw a river in the dust and mist. At that moment, even their footsteps seemed not so heavy.

But Xia Chuan and the others saw two black shadows falling by the river at the same time.
