Chapter 231 Heart of the Hive (6)

(2-in-1)

Jingyuan pointed the muzzle of the rifle forward and pulled the trigger.

Sparks burst out in the darkness, and blood flowers bloomed in front. The bullet hit the head of the mutated leech. Their fragile skin could not withstand the bullet. Under the fire of the rifle, the mollusk soon fell down, and ink-like fluid flowed from the wound.

Blood.

In front of this corpse, there is also the corpse of a leech, which was knocked down by Jingyuan a few minutes ago.

After picking up the gun, he has been using firearms to attack. He encountered the corpses of many soldiers and looted useful things from those corpses. Therefore, he had enough ammunition. Even if he kept shooting, he could persist for a long time.

for a long time.

It's just that the firearm is not a very good weapon in such a space. Usually he has to fire seven or eight shots to kill a leech. When the gunshot echoes, it will also attract nearby leeches.

It is much more convenient to cut with a knife. When the plastic blade of the bacteria cuts the body of these leeches, it will not make a huge noise. He can cut the leech in half with just one or two cuts.

But he was carrying an injured woman on his back and a puppy in his pocket. There was a risk of hurting them in close combat, so he tried his best to use long-range weapons to kill the leeches without coming into contact with them.

die.

The light of the flashlight illuminated the cavity in front. The inner walls of all the cavity were covered with the same moldy black fungus, and the difference was almost indistinguishable. The scenery here was the same, monotonous and boring, and the narrow and dark space made people feel depressed.

Jingyuan stopped at a fork in the road and carefully identified the road ahead.

He was lost and couldn't feel the breath of the wind. It seemed that this place was completely closed and isolated from the outside world.

Without the guidance of the wind, he didn't know where to go, but he still had to move forward.

But he went around in a circle and returned to the fork in the road a few minutes ago. The body in front of the cave entrance was the evidence.

Something was wrong. He felt tired, both mentally and physically.

He shouldn't feel tired so quickly. He had rested a lot in the past two days. There was no shortage of food. He just carried an adult woman on his back for an hour. Even if he was walking on sticky mold, he shouldn't feel tired.

So tired.

It's not a physical problem, it's something else.

After all, it would be weird if he would fall.

This is not like a sudden accident. If the soil collapsed due to heavy rains, it would have collapsed a few years ago. The rain in September last year was much heavier than the current rain, but the park did not collapse.

.

It happened at this time, after he drove into this area, it was obvious that HSA had no problem setting up the tent here, but as soon as he came, the land collapsed, as if he was deliberately imprisoned.

He had already tried asking Xiao Hong to find him, but Xiao Hong's body tissue was blocked from the outside and it could not pass through these sticky molds.

It's like the snake spirit was imprisoned in Qiwa's companion gourd. It seems that as time goes by, his physical strength is constantly being consumed. When he can no longer hold on, he will fall down and melt into a puddle of pus.

Isn't that what those soldiers were like? After falling in, they died quickly without any external injuries, as if they were poisoned.

He gradually developed symptoms similar to poisoning, and he felt sleepy and wanted to sleep.

He is trapped in the maze. The large mushroom beasts are fighting the intruders outside. It is useless for the small mushroom beasts to enter this space. They will get lost if they come in. It takes energy to control them, which makes it easy for him to

His thoughts became confused.

The sound of water flowing became clearer and clearer. Water rose up from under his feet. A few minutes ago there was a shallow layer of water. A few minutes later, the water submerged the soles of Jingyuan's shoes, almost reaching his ankles.

There would be a sound of treading water when he walked.

He didn't pay much attention to it at first. It was already cold and damp here, and he thought it was the water that was already here. It wasn't until the water level rose at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye that he became alert.

The cold water, I don’t know where it comes from.

There is an artificial lake in the park, and the lake is filled with water. It may be that changes in the terrain have caused the water there to flow towards this area, or that underground rivers have been diverted.

The water level is rising very quickly, so you have to go up.

He chose another road at the fork in the road and walked forward for a while. This time he did not return to the starting point, but he did not find the exit.

The water level continued to rise and soon reached his calf.

"Are we going out?"

Su Wanqing looked at the water surface illuminated by the flashlight. The water was very turbid and mixed with mold. Every time Jing Yuan took a step forward, the water would ripple.

She seemed to be unconscious and did not realize that her surrounding environment had not changed. When she heard the sound of water, she thought she was in another place.

"Hurry, get out soon."

Jingyuan loosened the belt and raised her body up to prevent the water level from rising further and submerging her feet and body.

The water is too cold, and the sudden exposure to such cold water will cause her to become hypothermic. In severe cases, it may even cause shock and cramps.

Time passed by, and the water level continued to rise. The water was not pure river water or groundwater. It had a pungent smell of chemical products. Being soaked in this water made Jingyuan feel uncomfortable and made him more and more sleepy.

.

He had to pick up Su Wanqing, and carrying her on his back would make her soak in the water.

In fact, regardless of what she said, he might be able to leave if he has the chance.

It's good to just dive. You can dive to where the water comes in and get out from there.

Xiao Bai can find a helmet, put it inside, seal it with clothes and take it away, but Su Wanqing is a living person. Those clothes can wrap a helmet, but they are not waterproof. Without air, she will die in three minutes.

It might take less than three minutes, and with such cold water, she might just pass out.

There was no way to take her down, so we had to lift her up like this to make her feel better.

Jingyuan stopped. There was a flashlight tied to his head. He looked like a mine worker, wearing a miner's lamp hat and exploring the mine.

But he didn't stop because he found a gold mine. The light beam illuminated the water in front of him, and the water was immersed in his chest. He lifted Su Wanqing high and above his head to prevent the woman from being submerged in the water.

There was no place to go. He was in a certain cavity of the fungus nest. All the accessible cavities were flooded, and he could only stand here.

Xiaobai stepped on his shoulder and suddenly looked in a certain direction.

It was a mutated leech. A weak mutated leech poked its head out of the water and swam toward him. There was no need for him to be afraid of such a weak creature, but he couldn't move.

He stared at the mutant leech slowly swimming toward him and backed away. Suddenly, the leech started struggling on the spot. It wanted to swim forward but couldn't. Then the next second, it was pulled into the water by something.

Made a sound.

Jingyuan increased his vigilance, fearing that it was a monster more terrifying than leeches.

But the bacterial wall on his side suddenly tore a hole, and water flowed out of the hole. The water level slowly dropped, from his chest to his waist.

It was an arrow. He saw an arrow.

A very obvious arrow, the mold protruded from the bacterial wall, forming an arrow to point him in the direction.

This can't be a naturally formed arrow. Is it Ji Shou's will? Is he helping?

It must be him!

He helped get rid of that leech!

Jingyuan walked in the direction of the arrows. If he didn't believe in these arrows, he couldn't get out, so he might as well give it a try.

One arrow after another appeared in front of him, constantly telling him which hole he should go to. This was the right direction because the water level was falling. He followed these arrows and kept going up.

The leeches attracted along the way would be restrained by the mold before they got close to him without him having to take action.

As if he had activated a plug-in, he followed the shortest route and stayed away from this level.

After crossing more than a dozen arrows, he saw the end of the water level, and finally took a step forward. He left the puddle and stepped on the soft carpet.

The arrow disappeared, and he climbed up the slope. The passage was so quiet that he could hear the sound of dripping water. Looking back, he saw that it was still dark and silent.

Looking back on the past, it seems that in the most critical moments, you can always get help from that person.

What can be seen around is no longer a wall structure made of mold, but besides mold there is dirt and concrete.

This nest cannot be suspended out of thin air. It must be formed by adhering to something outside, so there must be dirt and the like on its edge. In this passage, Jingyuan can see mold growing and adhering to the dirt.

It means that this is the edge of the huge fungus nest.

Coming to this environment means that you are very close to the exit, and you will be able to leave soon.

I was almost exhausted, but luckily I had his help.

The last time he was in the sewer, he was the one who lit up the dark world with a kerosene lamp. Although there was no kerosene lamp this time, it was thanks to him that he was able to escape from the nest of bacteria smoothly.

"Where is here?" Su Wanqing said in a daze.

"The exit is ahead, just hold on!"

Jingyuan hugged her and walked forward. He felt the wind coming from the passage, and the moist wind blew on his face!

The wind was blowing from outside, carrying the smell of earth and rain, as well as the pungent smell of sour chemical mixtures that was already present in the city center.

There must be an exit ahead!

This time it’s not words of comfort, it’s the truth!
