Chapter 557
What's going on?
I realized that this pit was not simple, and I no longer fired randomly. The important thing was to save bullets and not use them as signal flares.
I put away my gun, pulled out the dagger, and stabbed the cold and hard walls a few times. The soil layer was too frozen and the knife was like it was stuck on ice. At this speed, it took a long time to dig out the grooves for hands and feet to climb.
Why did the ground suddenly disappear and close again?
This pit must be related to the ground tremor I sensed before. Perhaps there are dangers hidden in the underground of the city that we cannot detect?
As time passes by minute by minute, I squat quietly at the bottom of the pit, emptying my brain, making myself think nothing, and eliminating all distracting thoughts.
There is no sound of the wind at the bottom of the pit, only my breathing. In two hours, it will be time for the change of duty. If Long Tao and the others are fine, they will find that I am missing.
But if...
I controlled my thoughts and tried to think as well as I could, and quietly spent the two hours stretched by the darkness.
It was not until the cold wind blew into the pit that I looked up and saw the starry sky, and the anxiety in my heart faded away.
"Sang Rou!" Gu Yu's face appeared beside the pit, and he threw down a rope.
I grabbed the rope and climbed up. When I saw that Long Tao and the others were all there, Pan Yijia was standing by the pit with her schoolbag on her back.
"We have to leave the city right away." Gu Yu put away the rope and threw it on the car, "There is something underneath."
"No." I said: "The ground will vibrate before the thing appears, and you can sense it with your feet, but you can't feel it in the car, which is even more dangerous."
If the car and people fall into the pit together, people can climb out, but the car cannot. We still have nearly a hundred kilometers to go, and the car must not be abandoned.
Actually, there is another guess I didn't say, the big pit seems to only capture living things. I suspect that the human bone pit outside the city and the trap of trapping brown bears are all things. If this is the case, the car and the people would be better separated.
"As Sang Rou said, don't be too far apart, don't stand too close. If you feel a vibration under your feet, change your position immediately." After Gu Yu said that, he pulled out his plane weapon.
We all stood in a circle, and I took the ball from Long Tao. Long Tao said that Qiuqiu noticed something strange and woke them up yelled.
They found that I was missing and searched around the supermarket for several times, but they couldn't find anyone. The 'sirens' arranged by Gu Yu did not sound or were destroyed. He believed that I had not gone far because there were my footprints in the snow on the back street.
I have only been active between supermarkets and street lights, so the missing range must be within this range.
"That thing can not destroy the snow layer and make people fall into trouble." Long Tao said: "There are still your footprints in the snow next to the brazier."
Then I was surprised. There was no trace in the snow. How did they discover me?
"Because the captain fell down, he used his baton to turn the thing away, and we found that there was a pit on the ground." Long Tao looked scared. They were not far from Gu Yu at that time, but when they turned around, Gu Yu disappeared, and there was no trace left. Anyone would feel scared.
As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Yijia jumped a big step back. None of us gave a flashlight. At this moment, all of us came, illuminating the snow under our feet clearly.
After Pan Yijia avoided, the snow arched slightly upwards, with very subtle changes, and then he returned to calm and there was no sign of any abnormality.
Gu Yu stared at the land with deep eyes. He was concentrating on it, as if he was waiting for the next opportunity.
Sure enough, when Chen Dong moved his position due to the tremor under his feet, Gu Yu waved his baton and pointed at the place where Chen Dong stood.
Then the snow layer on the surface fell, revealing a large pit, which was exactly the same as the one that trapped me before.
Each of us experienced two pit captures, and soon the street turned into the surface of the moon. In the end, we didn’t know if it was the thing that was destroyed by Gu Yu, or if we felt that we were too difficult to deal with and gave up. In short, we struggled for half an hour and then calmed down.
Gu Yu said that we should take this opportunity to leave the city quickly. No matter whether they are silenced or die, we can no longer stay in the city.
Anyway, it was not many hours before dawn, so we left the city from another exit of the Twin Cities. Given that there were also pits outside the city, Long Tao drove the car out for twenty kilometers before stopping.
This road is not easy to drive, and there are often obstacles on the road. None of us wanted to play obstacle courses at night, so Long Tao parked his car on the side of the road. If you can make up for your sleep, you should try to make up for your sleep.
It wasn't until then that my mind had time to recall the pitfalls. The things that were drilled were not only soundproof but also bulletproof. If Gu Yu had not had black technology, we would probably have been hit.
Even if there is a pit below, the snow layer on the surface will not move. They will move or disappear, and the snow layer will collapse.
In this way, we had close contact with them before entering the city, and they were on the human bone pit at that time.
I have always been confident in my night vision, but I didn’t see clearly what was on the pit when I was at the bottom of the pit. It seemed that there was only snow layers. So they were transparent?
After a while, snoring sounds rang in the car. I looked down at the ball, and he stared at the big eyes without any sleepiness.
"Are you sleepy?" I asked softly.
"Ah~" Qiuqiu raised his chin and shook his head, without a trace of fatigue on his face.
I looked back at Pan Yijia and asked, "Are you sleepy?"
Pan Yijia's eyes were clear and there was no sleepiness in her eyes. She seemed to have been used to this situation and had no discomfort.
Going to bed early is the right choice. I admire this little girl a little now. She seems to have a particularly keen perception ability, or prescient?
In short, I believe that she can survive in the end of the world for three years alone is definitely not due to luck.
"Not sleepy." Pan Yijia said, paused, "Are you okay?"
She is obviously not used to being close to people. She said a bit stiffly about this kind of greeting with care, but she is trying to get closer to us, and I am happy about it.
"It's okay. If you think they are quarrel, just find something to stuff your ears. There are still a few hours before dawn, and you'll sleep for a while."
"I'm not sleepy." Pan Yijia shook her head. After saying that, perhaps she felt that this sentence was a little stiff, so she softened her tone and added: "The danger has not passed yet."
"intuition?"
"So it."
"The little radar in your mind is very sensitive and has a promising future." I smiled and picked the thumbs up at Pan Yijia.
Pan Yijia looked at me with confusion for a while. I knew that she had many thoughts in her mind, but she was not good at expressing herself, so she tried to let her speak as much as possible.
"If you have any questions, ask. We are allies and should communicate more."
"You...why can you laugh?" Pan Yijia's tone was very serious, as if she was really distressed.
"Haha~" I glanced at Gu Yu and smiled in a low voice.
Gu Yu said to Pan Yijia seriously: "She is a capable person."
I almost slid down from my seat. If I hadn't been holding the ball in my arms, I would have been so happy that I couldn't stand up.
To be honest, I don’t think Gu Yu is praising me at all. I think I have never done anything big, so I can only classify this as a commercial flattery.
"Can those who can do big things laugh even when they encounter danger?" Pan Yijia and Gu Yu spoke, and the two of them had an in-depth conversation.
I have to admit that Pan Yijia always speaks amazingly. What she is confused about is not why I laugh, but that after I experienced a life-and-death crisis, I can still talk and laugh lightly.
It seems that Pan Yijia has only learned to face it calmly and seriously in the face of hardships. She can be calm in the face of life and death, stay alert when she has companions, but she does not know how to make happiness in suffering and relax.
To put it simply, she hasn't learned how to adjust her mood yet. If a string is stretched for too long, it may break at any time.
Gu Yu took the opportunity to teach her a lesson. Pan Yijia was sensible enough that she didn't need adults to coax her, and taught her some ways to survive more practically.
Long Tao turned off the car before going to bed and the engine stopped working, so when the tremor appeared, we awake people immediately felt it.
"Long Tao, drive!" Gu Yu shouted while pulling out the baton from his sleeve, and pushing the door and getting out of the car, his movements like a gust of wind blowing by.
Long Tao, Hu Tao, Chen Dong woke up almost instantly, and his reaction speed was very fast. As soon as Long Tao opened his eyes, his hand was on the steering wheel. It was so fast that I doubted whether he was asleep or not, and there was no buffering time at all.
This time the tremor was longer than in the city, and thanks to this buffering time, the car had time to start.
From the time the car rushed out to the collapse of the snow, it was just right, and the rear wheels of the car were even hung in the air. As long as one second later, the car fell into the pit.
"Gu Yu--" I opened the car window, stretched out my head and looked back. A huge deep pit appeared on the road. Gu Yu did not keep up with the speed of the car, and he fell down.
Long Tao did not stop. He stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed forward, but the speed could not be maintained. There were many abandoned vehicles parked on the highway, all of which were discarded, destroyed, overturned, and all stuck on the highway.
If you drive under normal circumstances, you can go around, and these abandoned cars are not dense. If you want to sprint at full speed but can't, it's equivalent to playing a 100-meter race in the maze.
"Don't be anxious, keep calm, that thing didn't catch up." I kept leaning over to pay attention to the movement behind me. Seeing that Long Tao was a little impatient, I spoke out and comforted.
Things that dig holes are harmless to people in a short period of time. Even if we fall into the pit with people and cars, we will not be in danger of life for the time being.
Besides, I don’t believe that something will happen to Gu Yu. Even if we are trapped, he will save us. At worst, he will abandon the car and walk to the new camp.
It’s better to play a stumbling race in speeding, causing the car to be destroyed and people to die. If something happens, it can only be considered a collective suicide.
"Sorry." Long Tao let out a breath and slowed down his car.
I can understand his mood. Gu Yu fell into the pit and he must have been affected. On the one hand, he wanted to stop the car to support Gu Yu, and on the other hand, he wanted to take everyone to escape as soon as possible, and he was inevitably anxious.
Because I was the same, the moment I saw Gu Yu not keeping up, I almost shouted to let Long Tao stop the car.
But the consequences of parking are unimaginable. I am not the only one in the car, but also two children.
