Golden Town [Unlimited]

Shen Tingbei stood in front of the tunnel entrance, and as time passed, he became more and more anxious.

The kettle on the base of the simple timer is one-third full, which means that it has been almost an hour, and Ye Tao and Andrew have not come out of the tunnel yet.

Finally, Shen Tingbei couldn't wait any longer.With a cold face, he let go of his arms, picked up a wooden stick and tied it to his body, then picked up the rope and prepared to enter the tunnel.

Han Yuanhe quickly hugged Shen Tingbei, and Gao Qian also ran over to calm him down.

Shen Tingbei looked very calm, "I just want to go in because I am calm."

Gao Qian frowned: "Now you have a straight face."

Shen Tingbei frowned and didn't speak, but his expression was very firm, as if he was determined to go in.

"Ye Tao went in because of us. Now there is obviously something strange in the tunnel. He and Andrew can't get out. If I don't go in and help him, I'm nothing!"

Everyone gathered around the entrance of the tunnel again, looking at Shen Tingbei with worry and fear. Although they knew what he said was reasonable, they obviously didn't want him to rush into the tunnel now.

Gong Qiyun stood on the outermost side with her arms folded indifferently, and after glancing at Shen Tingbei with disdain, she turned around and went back to lay down on the Datong bunk.

Jin Shui looked at Shen Tingbei, and slowly persuaded: "Dr. Shen, we all understand that you are anxious, and we are also anxious. But you can't solve the problem right now. What if you follow in and encounter an accident?"

Shen Tingbei's mind suddenly buzzed, and he looked at Jin Shui with a frosty face, "What do you mean you also encountered an accident?"

Jin Shui was taken aback by Shen Tingbei's appearance, and his tongue twitched, "I didn't mean that."

"Didn't Ye Tao go in because of us?!"

"I'm not……"

"If he encounters an accident, we shouldn't be responsible?!"

"Dr. Shen, listen to me..."

"Didn't we push him to the edge of an accident?!"

"..." Jin Shui had a sad face, and the emotional Shen Tingbei said one sentence after another, making her completely speechless.

Shen Tingbei's eyes turned red instantly, he broke free from Han Yuanhe's arm, removed the wooden stick from his waist, fell to the ground with all his strength, and walked to the other side away from the crowd.

There was a deathly silence in the rotunda.

Shen Tingbei slammed his fist on the mud wall, listening to the two voices in his head constantly arguing and sawing.

A voice told him that Ye Tao must be in some trouble now, even life-threatening, and he must save him.

And another voice was buzzing in his ears, saying calmly and clearly that this was the ultimate purpose of the town: to create gaps between him and other people because of such emotions, thus splitting everyone in the town.

Just now, he even felt for a moment that he and Ye Tao rushed forward to find a chance for them to survive, and it was an act that would not get any gratitude from the rest of the people.

Just because of their timidity and selfishness, they pushed him and Ye Tao to the front with a weak attitude and clever words, and went through life and death for the rest.

He and Ye Tao are like fearless and stupid fools, using their lives and abilities to open up a way for others to live.

Shen Tingbei hugged his head and squatted down: "No, it's not like this!"

Gao Qian and Han Yuanhe looked at Shen Tingbei worriedly.

Luo Yi also patted Jin Shui on the back, worrying and nervously comforting her who had just been bullied by Brother Xiao Bei.

The face stuck in the mud made Ye Tao and Andrew stop.

The two worked together to dig, and it took a while to dig Qiao Yan out of the mud wall.

Qiao Yan maintained the terrified posture of kneeling on the ground with his head up before he died.His face was covered with mud, and Ye Tao cleaned it up carefully before wiping off the mud on his face.

Ye Tao crouched beside Qiao Yan and made a preliminary inspection, "The time of death was not long, it should have been suffocated after being covered by mud."

Andrew pulled out the package of supplies Qiao Yan stole from them from the mud, and after glancing at Qiao Yan's frightened face, he shivered and said, "What on earth did he see to make such an expression?"

Ye Tao didn't answer him, and didn't know how to answer.

Andrew gave a "tsk", opened the bag and checked the battery, and his expression became even more ugly in an instant.

"The battery is dead."

Ye Tao frowned and stopped what he was doing, walked to Andrew's side, and picked up a battery he handed over.

Sure enough, because the mud wall was too wet, the batteries were damaged to varying degrees.

Ye Tao did not speak, and continued to check other supplies in the bag with Andrew

But without exception, they were basically useless.Only some plastic wrappings of food and water were left.

Andrew cursed and said, "Is there a water curtain hole in this mud wall?"

Ye Tao pursed his lips, "Since the supplies are no longer usable, there is no need to take the effort to bring them back. We have to find a way to get back to the round hall now."

Only then did Andrew wake up as if he had just woken up from a dream. He kicked away the supply bag, pointed to the rope on his body, and said, "Signal?"

Ye Tao nodded, pulled the rope twice, and closed Qiao Yan's eyes.

After Andrew felt the tightening of the rope around his waist, he laughed at Ye Tao's action: "I'm so kind to thieves who steal things."

Ye Tao said lightly: "It's just unlucky people."

Andrew raised his eyebrows, curled his lips and began to recycle the rope and walk back.

At first, he was able to have a few words with Ye Tao, but since the timing tool was gone, the concept of time between the two disappeared, and he soon became impatient.

"Have we been walking for at least 10 minutes?"

Ye Tao stopped counting the seconds silently, and shook his head: "8 minutes, continue."

Andrew let out a "cuck" and continued to walk back while holding the rope.

"Did they pull the rope well at the entrance of the cave? Why did I no longer feel someone pulling the rope after tightening the rope at first?"

Ye Tao didn't speak, he had a bad thought in his mind.

"leaf?"

Ye Tao asked calmly behind Andrew: "Don't you think we are still going uphill?"

Andrew stopped in his tracks and looked at Ye Tao in horror.

Ye Tao's face was also very ugly at this time.

"Even if there is an error, we have been walking for more than ten minutes now. It stands to reason that we should have returned to the round hall." Ye Tao looked at the tunnel that still did not lead to the village or back, and said lightly, "We are trapped. gone."

Andrew frowned, and he tightened the rope in his hand, "No, it's impossible! Then after I pulled the rope twice at the beginning, who tightened the rope to send a signal to us?"

Ye Tao didn't speak, but inexplicably bumped into the "he" that Shen Tingbei had been talking about recently in his mind.

But if it was really these high-dimensional creatures, what joy could there be in playing tricks on him and Andrew in this dark tunnel?

Ye Tao looked at the rope around his waist, "Stay where you are, let's put the rope up and try."

Andrew didn't realize it at first, and it was only after Ye Tao started to move that he started to take up the rope in a similar manner.

It was rare for him not to be irritable and complain.Qiao Yan's death just now had an indelible impact on him, and now that he has a clear understanding of the power of the town, Ye Tao will naturally do what he says.

He even began to regret his decision to come in with Ye Tao just now.

The two "heroes" Shen Tingbei and Ye Tao should come in together.

Five minutes passed, and a lot of ropes had been piled up under the two people's feet, but the ropes in their hands still had no end and were not stretched straight.

The town doesn't want the people in the rotunda to know they're trapped.

After reaching this conclusion, Ye Tao stopped what he was doing.

Seeing him stop, Andrew stopped himself, with a very ugly look on his face.

He drooped his face, regretful: "I finally understand why those people always let you and Dr. Shen go ahead. These things are all trial and error at the risk of life."

Ye Tao looked at him coldly, "They didn't let us go ahead, but we voluntarily walked ahead."

Andrew paused, waved his hands as if to admit defeat, "I know, I know, strange collectivism, strange heroism."

Ye Tao frowned, subconsciously trying to refute Andrew, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Now is not the right time to discuss this issue.

There is no end in front of me, and I can’t find the way I came back when I go back. What’s more terrible is...

"The tunnel seems to be narrowing." Ye Tao said in a deep voice.

Andrew paused, held the rope against the left and right sides, stretched it straight and waited quietly.

After a while, the originally stretched rope between his hands visibly became slack.

Andrew's emotions were already on the verge of collapse.

He sat down on the ground dejectedly, apparently unwilling to work harder, "Qiao Yan also encountered such a thing, right? That's why he was so scared, and was stuffed into the mud wall!"

Ye Tao kicked him, "Stand up and find a way."

Andrew smiled wryly, "If you can't get out, you might as well rest and wait for the last moment. I don't have your strange spirit of sacrifice. I just want to wait for death quietly. This is my fate. I accept my fate. I don't want to Work hard for others!"

After finishing speaking, he reached out and opened Qiao Yan's food bag, and began to eat his food.

"You Hua people are really very strange. Whether you are old or young, rich or not, at some point you will go crazy like you are now, thinking that you have the responsibility to save the world and the ability to help others. How is it possible? How can this world be saved by ordinary people? We are all just lambs to be slaughtered!"

Ye Tao ignored him and turned on the flashlight again to observe the tunnel.

Andrew was still eating and said: "I shouldn't have rushed to the front, I should have died happily in the rotunda!"

Andrew shed tears, he choked up and forced himself to swallow the biscuits, "No one knows we died here, and the people in the rotunda will not come to rescue us, our efforts are of no use!"

"I'm not an idiot 'hero' like you and Shen Tingbei at all!"

Ye Tao pulled out the wooden stick from his waist, then removed the dagger, and assembled a simple shovel.

He chiseled the wall one by one, calm and firm, unaffected by Andrew's emotions.

Andrew's choked voice paused, "Don't you have feelings? Are you not human? Are you going to die and still not touched?"

Ye Tao turned to look at him, his resolute face showed no expression other than calm.

"First, I still have one very important thing that I haven't told Shen Tingbei. I will never die here."

"Secondly, Shen Tingbei and I chose to go to the front not because of stupid individual heroism or the strange heart of the Virgin. It is something like 'conscience', which is always the biggest sign that distinguishes human beings from beasts. We just did it. That's all human beings should do."

The author has something to say: Brother Ye will teach Andrew tomorrow! (Hum akimbo)

Thanks to Chengni, the cutie who covets the president's underwear, and the little baby with cold melon skin for throwing mines at the meat!

Rou performed an excited kowtow for everyone!
