Chapter 57

The old man looked at me with a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. If he knew that there was something deadly in the cave, and knew that this thing killed thousands of people in an instant, there would be a reason to be surprised by my unharmedness.&t;p>

The old man pondered for a moment, and his smile closed down, and he said solemnly: "You take us down, and others can leave on their own. The time we are at the bottom is the time for them to escape."&t;p>

I thought about it and felt that both parties could feel at ease with this method, otherwise he would be afraid that the survivor would run away, and I would not fulfill my promise. I was afraid that I would take him down first, and when I came back, he would not let him go.&t;p>

Li Duo obviously disagreed with this suggestion and kept winking at me in the crowd. He wanted to tell me that he would do it and execute the killing operation now, but I replied to him with a secret code because I wanted to know what had been installed in the coffin below, whether it was related to blue stones, and what was blue stones.&t;p>

No one can answer these questions if the old man was killed. His close bodyguard should be someone he trusted very much, but the big man didn't know how powerful the mummy broke his hands and held it directly with his hands, which showed that the old man did not tell the people around him how dangerous it was.&t;p>

The two sides reached an agreement, and the surrounding survivors burst into low voices, and the voices of discussion rose uncontrollably. The old man did not stop them. He looked at them with joy and excitement. The surprise that suddenly appeared in despair made me happy.&t;p>

Perhaps helping this behavior does not have to care about the person you help, but should pay attention to the behavior itself, whether it is conscience or some kind of human nature. Doing something that benefits everyone will always be in a better mood than making everyone die.&t;p>

Many of the survivors also showed a look of worry, and this worry was for me, but no one dared to stand up and say anything. I don’t think they are cowardly, but when facing death, the fear of human beings prevails.&t;p>

If it were my parents, as my daughter, I naturally didn't want them to stand up, in order to prevent them from causing a murder and pushing themselves to others. I smiled and shook my head slightly at those who cast worried eyes at me, hoping that they could understand that they didn't need to worry too much about me.&t;p>

At this time, except for those who cannot move, all the survivors gathered in the camp. I was sure that my parents were not among them. This was something that Pang Xiaofei had investigated long ago, and I just confirmed it again.&t;p>

Disappointment is certain, but I feel grateful that they did not die in the camp, nor were they subjected to inhuman oppression. No news is sometimes good news, and maybe they are living in another security center with other survivors.&t;p>

But there was something that made me very upset. There was no couple named Sang in the camp. Why did Ouyang Mengmeng specifically tell me? Do I have a grudge with her?&t;p>

Except for me who almost saved her life, we had no intersection at all. What was her motive?&t;p>

Although I am willing to treat people with kindness, I have to guard against malice from others. Ouyang Mengmeng's actions clearly meant that I would come to die. Everyone knows that this operation is a "death penalty". Once I know the truth, I will definitely want to escape like Li Duo and the others. But if there are my parents in the camp, I will have to come.&t;p>

One word can save a person's life, and one word can also harm a person's life. Ouyang Mengmeng, I secretly remember this name in my heart. If there is still one day to meet in the future, I have to settle the score with her.&t;p>

Yang Shoucheng yelled at this time: "Everyone brings the old and the weak, all are ready!"&t;p>

He stood at the end of the crowd. Everyone heard someone taking the lead and immediately went back to the shack to carry those seriously ill and unable to move. I came to the old man and asked him to withdraw the two posts outside the camp.&t;p>

The old man sent a strong man around him to shoot a signal flare, and soon the defenders from outside the camp rushed back one after another. I had already silently recorded their number before, but now I counted it again, and now there are four people missing.&t;p>

I used my hand to make the gesture of "four", and the old man's pale white eyebrows frowned, and waved his hand to make the big man another signal flare. This time the color was different from just now.&t;p>

The remaining four guards appeared faster than the previous ones. It seemed that they had been strictly trained and had arrived. I smiled at the old man and asked his man to take the lead. He and I walked towards the entrance of the mine in the middle of the team.&t;p>

Li Duo seemed to want to keep up, but was quickly pulled by Yang Shoucheng. Li Duo looked at the survivors around him. He should have thought that if no one showed the way, these survivors would probably take more than twice as long to find a temporary command post. Ouyang Mengmeng's group of people were young and middle-aged. They would not die if they were hungry for two more days. However, there were many elderly, weak, sick and disabled people in this group. They could not withstand the toss and someone had to lead the way.&t;p>

When collective interests outweigh personal interests, Li Duo made a rational decision. He and Yang Shoucheng automatically organized survivors to line up and withdraw from the camp in an orderly manner.&t;p>

Just as all the survivors were ready to leave, the old man suddenly stopped and pointed at Yang Shoucheng, who was adjudicating, and said, "He has to stay, why don't anyone guarantee that you won't leave us halfway?"&t;p>

As soon as the old man said this, the other survivors stared at Yang Shoucheng, obviously hoping that he would agree on his own initiative, but the only person who opposed it was Li Duo. He ran back from the front of the team, but Yang Shoucheng had already walked into the middle of our team and stood next to me.&t;p>

Li Duo wanted to be a hostage instead of Yang Shoucheng, but Yang Shoucheng refused. The two argued a few times, and finally I interrupted them: "It is more appropriate for Mr. Yang to stay. If we go in, there is a place where we need to work, Mr. Li may not be as physically as he is."&t;p>

It sounds like I'm fine. From the appearance, one is tall and strong, and the other is thin. Survivors all know that the hole at the end of the mine is very small and needs someone to expand. Then Yang Shoucheng must be more powerful than Li Duo. In addition to being hostages, the people who stayed behind may also be laborers. In comparison, Yang Shoucheng is the most suitable.&t;p>

But Li Duo and the others understood what I meant. Yang Shoucheng's expression relaxed. Although Li Duo was a little unwilling, the situation was in front of him and he could not tolerate wasting time. After he told Yang Shoucheng to be careful, he ran back to the front of the team and took the survivors out of the camp.&t;p>

Our team entered the mine track. There were four people in the front row with flashlights. They walked very fast, so the people behind them followed. I thought it was the old man who was eager to approach the secret in the cave. Unexpectedly, when he reached the end of the mine track, the entire mine track suddenly shook, and the slag was shaken. Before I could figure out what had been born, I heard Yang Shoucheng curse, and he grabbed me and shouted:&t;p>

"They bombed the camp exit!"&t;p>

The distance between the mine track is shorter than that between the camp and the mountain pass. At this time, we are standing at the end of the mine track. Li Duo and the survivor should have just arrived at the middle of the second level and the first level.&t;p>

I turned to the old man and said angrily: "Is it the bomb you detonated?"&t;p>

The old man took out a small black box from his pocket and threw it on the ground. His smile returned to his face: "The world is chaotic, so you have to think carefully."&t;p>

The strong man beside him grinned and said, "Now that group of waste has become waste. If you don't want to save any of them, just lead the way honestly."&t;p>

His gun pointed at Yang Shoucheng, and Yang Shoucheng seemed to be rushing up to fight him desperately. I quickly grabbed his arm, and the anger, sadness and unwillingness surged in my heart were instantly suppressed by reason. The old man was right. If everyone outside died, Yang Shoucheng was the only one I could rescue, so I would like to protect him.&t;p>

"What kind of good person do you think I am? Saving those survivors is just someone's trust. If you can't do it, it's really useful. "I looked at the strong man who was talking coldly.&t;p>

When the old man heard my words, his eyes moved, and he asked, "It has to do with human life?"&t;p>

I thought of the mummies in the caves and nodded confidently: "That's right."&t;p>

I don't know what the old man thought about my answer, but he seemed to trust me more. When dealing with such a person, the more vague the words, the better, so that he can't understand my trump card.&t;p>

Yang Shoucheng saw that I was acting, and he cooperated very well. After listening to our conversation, he cursed and was beaten up by the strong man behind him and became honest.&t;p>

The strong man gave him a pickaxe and asked him to expand the hole at the end of the mine. However, the old man stopped Yang Shoucheng and turned his head to smile at me and said, "This girl must have a way to get in, so she doesn't have to waste her kung fu."&t;p>

In fact, I do know that there is a road, and it is a dead end, which just passes into the cave. On the upper part of the second pyramid-shaped cave, near the exit of the gourd's thin waist, there is a hidden secret path.&t;p>

It is very similar to the secret path described in the novel by the tomb-building craftsmen for escape. Unfortunately, those people were unlucky. The secret path was only one meter away from being able to reach the outside, but suddenly stopped working. It is estimated that the mutation was born at that time. The person who dug the secret path knew that it would not be used, so he did not choose it to escape.&t;p>

This also indirectly proves that the mummies had a very short escape time, and they didn't even have time to dig through a layer of soil. However, thinking about the size of the secret path, only thin people can get in. It is probably not possible to use it to confuse the old man. The old man would definitely not go in with me alone, and the big men around him could not get in at all.&t;p>

"Yes, but I can only bring one person at a time." Several solutions passed through my mind, and it took only two seconds.&t;p>

"Boss, don't listen to her nonsense, her words are not trustworthy!" The strong man next to the old man said as he pulled out the security of the pistol.&t;p>

"She has been in." The old man said firmly, his loose eyelids drooped, and he narrowed his eyes as if thinking. After a moment, he asked, "Girl, you can just say whatever you want to say below. If it is right, I can convince my people to believe you."&t;p>

"East and West? Is the terrain calculated? There are two caves below, which are hourglass-shaped." I said it very slowly, ensuring that everyone is clear.&t;p>

The strong man immediately said: "We have never seen it before, who knows if you make up whatever you want?"&t;p>

The old man drank him and became a little polite to me: "I believe in you, but I just don't know the purpose of your coming. Everyone is uneasy. You said that saving people is a entrusted by others, just a little help. So, do you come... have other purposes?"&t;p>

A cow is not a kite, and it is difficult to take it back after being blown to the sky. Before, it pretended to be unfathomable to make the old man believe that I could control the overall situation. Now, I was suddenly asked about my deep purpose, so I had to use another lie to complete it.&t;p>

"For the lowest thing." I never want to mention the sarcophagus, for fear that the old man would get more information from it. He must have some understanding of the following. All I saw was the dead object. He might know the allusions in it, so I would never say more easily before his trump card was turned out.&t;p>
