Sitting down on the rock wall behind him, Lin Cheng stuffed a cigarette into his mouth, lit it and took a deep breath. The smoke circled around his body and then slowly exhaled. The diffuse smoke filled the abyss of death.

Slowly drifting away, while he squinted his eyes and looked at the black forest less than a hundred meters away from everyone, his eyes a little complicated.

From the moment he found out the specific location of the Doomsday Sinkhole and set off, he had already made all the mental preparations. Therefore, even if today's encounter was so dangerous and even almost wiped out the entire army, he himself was not too panicked. After all, it had all happened long ago.

He had already expected it when he set off.

But what he didn't expect was that Mia, a woman, would play such an important role at a critical moment. Although he brought her along because of the abilities she had awakened, Lin Cheng once only regarded her as a blessing.

Looking at it from afar, I never thought that this woman would become the most critical link in saving the team.

The contribution of Bai Ling and Coke is obvious to all. It can be said that without their desperate efforts to successfully decapitate him, even if Mia could help him 'resurrect' again and again, under the attack of the gnawing army like a tide,

It’s no different than using a mantis’ arm as a chariot!

Therefore, strictly speaking, this victory is the result of the first teamwork he has experienced. This feeling is very special and worth recalling for a person like him who has always liked to work alone.

After thinking for a while, Lin Cheng took a breath and put out the cigarette butt when the cigarette burned out. He stood up and patted the dust on his butt. Listening to the snoring around him, he shook his head helplessly.

, raised his right hand and snapped his fingers, and saw an igloo instantly surrounding everyone, isolating the increasingly louder snoring sounds.

Although they never encountered the sleeping Gnawer troops on the way out, due to the encounter just now, the team was in such poor condition that they could not fight a second time. Just in case, he had to

Any factors that may attract monsters must be eliminated.

After surrounding everyone in the igloo, Lin Cheng did not go in. Instead, he stuffed two energy beans into his mouth while everyone was sleeping. After replenishing his energy, he changed into clean clothes, and then walked along

Search the rock wall in front of you.

He always remembered that Mia had told him before that the scientists at that time had discovered a rune stone door deep in the apocalyptic sinkhole, so he had been paying attention to possible secret passages around him since he entered the sinkhole.

, for fear that he might miss the correct passage to the Rune Stone Gate due to an oversight, but it wasn’t until the team arrived here after several twists and turns that he realized that there was only one correct path to this apocalyptic sinkhole, and they obviously hadn’t reached it yet.

At the end, that is where the rune stone door is.

The army of gnashers sleeping in the dark forest behind them should not have appeared two years ago. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for those scientists and humans at that time to go deeper through this dark forest, and as the end of the world approaches,

, the eaters in the sinkhole began to gradually wake up, some walked out of the sinkhole and entered the surface and began to kill humans, while others entered the black forest and fell asleep again for unknown reasons.

Judging from their previous journey through the Black Forest, these nibblers did not just find a place to sleep, but followed an extremely strict order to block all possible routes through the Black Forest.

, obviously to prevent someone from sneaking past while they are sleeping.

This is very interesting. Before the end of the world, these gnashers did not do this. After the end of the world, they organized a defense network in such a dark forest hidden thousands of meters underground. It was simply telling Lin Cheng that

There must be a big secret behind this dark forest!

He doesn't know what this secret is yet, but that doesn't stop him from being very interested, and he has a feeling that this secret is probably related to the rune stone door that has never appeared. In other words, as long as

If he finds the rune stone door, he should be able to solve all the doubts lingering in his mind!

But the biggest problem before him now is that he has been walking along this rock wall for more than ten minutes, and he has never stopped banging and testing the rock wall during this period. However, no matter how he tested, the sound coming from inside the rock wall came back.

The muffled sound told him that there were solid rocks behind these rock walls, and there were no hidden doors at all!

After walking along the rock wall for more than ten minutes, he still found nothing similar to the entrance of the cave. After walking for a few more minutes, he saw that he was already too far away from Bai Ling and the others. Lin Cheng thought for a moment and finally decided to go first.

Go home and wait for everyone to wake up before discussing the next plan.

It took him nearly twenty minutes to return to the starting point. When he saw that the igloo was still fine and unattacked, he breathed a sigh of relief. He opened the door and walked into the house. When he looked up, he saw Bai Bai who had fallen asleep first.

Ling had actually woken up and was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a paper and pen in his hand, drawing something constantly.

"Why did you wake up?!"

Looking with some surprise at Bai Ling, who was concentrating on drawing, Lin Cheng stepped forward and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"I was fine to begin with. I just fell asleep due to exhaustion. One hour is enough for me to recover."

Shaking her head, Bai Ling explained a few words casually, and then she handed the notebook in her hand directly to Lin Cheng and said: "This is the topographic map of the Black Forest that I drew just now. Do you have anything to add?

.”

"I really admire you..."

Taking the notebook handed by Bai Ling, Lin Cheng looked at the extremely detailed and standard topographic map drawn on it, and couldn't help but shake his head, feeling sincere admiration for this woman.

"Where were you just now?"

While Lin Cheng was looking at the map, Bai Ling also stood up and stretched. It was indeed as she said. As long as she is not seriously injured at this level of strength, no matter how fierce the battle is, she only needs a short rest afterwards.

He could recover in a short time, which was why Lin Cheng was surprised but not surprised.

Shrugging, Lin Cheng, after reading the map, handed the notebook back to Bai Ling and said, "Where else can we go? Let's find the next exit..."

Hearing this, Bai Ling tilted her head and stared at him twice, then suddenly smiled, "Looking at your expression, I guess I didn't find it, right?"

"A woman is too smart to marry..."
