Volume Three, Second Floor, Abyss, Chapter 107, Doubts
"It's now 3:30. We work in teams of two and take turns standing guard for four hours, alternating. Zhang Zi'ang and Zhou Chen, you go to rest first and come and replace me and Mr. Tang later."
Lu Shang discussed with the others for a while, and after unifying the arrangements, he first explored the situation around the grassland, and then let the others rest. He and Tang Yong sat on the outermost edge, guarding everyone.
"Let's all just lie down on the grass here. It may feel a little uncomfortable and you need to get used to it a little bit." Lu Shang said to the people around him, and then he and Tang Yong sat on the edge with weapons in hand.
"Lingling, take your brother to your mother's side."
Qiu Yanling called to Tang Ling and Yan Yan who were still standing in the distance. After hearing Qiu Yanling's call, Tang Ling took Yan Yan, who had been holding her hand, and walked to Qiu Yanling and sat down, her face full of worry and concern.
concern.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking so sad?" Qiu Yanling gently pinched Tang Ling's cheek and asked with concern.
"I am a little scared."
Although Lu Shang had advised her to have a good rest, when Tang Ling thought of the terrible things before, Tang Ling did not dare to close her eyes and rest. She didn't know why she was so tense. Obviously Lu Shang and others were
Let her have a good rest, but her subconscious is unwilling to let her close her eyes.
"Lingling, don't be afraid. Mom, dad, and other brothers and sisters are all here. They will protect us. Don't worry. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Be good, and let's take a little rest, okay?"
Qiu Yanling touched Tang Ling's head distressedly and pinched her nose gently. Looking at the two children looking at her in front of her, their clean little faces were a little dirty because of the constant running around. Qiu Yanling stopped
Feeling sad all the time.
For so many days, they adults have been frightened, not to mention that these two and a half-year-old children, at such a young age, have to suffer these pains with them, especially Tang Ling, because she has special abilities that they do not have.
They voluntarily took on the responsibility of protecting and helping them. They were a group of adults with hands and feet, but they placed most of their hopes on one child.
Qiu Yanling hugged Tang Ling and Yan Yan sadly, then took off her coat and spread it on the grass, letting Tang Ling and Yan Yan lie down to rest. She sat next to her and patted the two children gently.
He hummed a lullaby and coaxed them to sleep.
"Mother……"
Tang Ling was still hesitant. Yan Yan beside her had already closed her eyes. Tang Ling still forced herself to open her eyes and looked at Qiu Yanling. Her eyes were full of worry. She was about to speak, but Qiu Yanling pointed her finger at her.
He touched his lips lightly.
"Good boy, have a good rest." Qiu Yanling smiled gently at Tang Ling, moved her fingers against Tang Ling's lips to her eyes, gently covered them with her palms, and continued to slow down and hum a lullaby.
The sleepiness gradually became stronger with the lullaby and the exhaustion all over her body. Tang Ling was still struggling a little, but her eyelids that gradually became heavy could hardly hold on, so she slowly closed them, and finally slowed down her breathing and fell into sleep.
"Are they asleep?"
Lu Li beside her dragged Liu Ruyan, who had closed his eyes on her and couldn't wake up, slowly walked to Qiu Yanling's side. After putting a lot of effort in putting Liu Ruyan on the ground, Lu Li also
Sitting paralyzed on the ground, looking at Tang Ling who was huddled next to Qiu Yanling with her eyes closed, and Yan Yan who was still holding Tang Ling's hand dependently beside her, Lu Li couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and chatted with Qiu Yanling for a few words.
He also slowly lay down on the grass.
Lying on the grass beneath him was a little uncomfortable. Lu Li adjusted his posture and found a more suitable and comfortable sleeping position. He yawned, closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually calmed down.
Qiu Yanling, who was about to lie down with her, saw Wang Fanglu who had gone to find a place to come back easily. She said hello, but Wang Fanglu didn't pay attention to her at all. She just sat at the outermost corner with her back to them. She didn't know.
what are you doing.
"Fanglu, aren't you taking a rest? Yan Yan has already fallen asleep." Qiu Yanling felt a little strange and called Wang Fanglu tentatively.
"Ah, I'm not too sleepy yet. You guys go to sleep first. I'll sleep later." Wang Fanglu, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to suddenly hear Qiu Yanling's words. She turned around stiffly and mechanically lay down on the grass.
, then he gave Qiu Yanling a stiff smile, then turned his head and looked to the other side.
Qiu Yanling felt a little strange, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She was so sleepy that she didn't want to care about too many things. She slowly lay down, smoothed the broken hair on Tang Ling's face, and then closed her eyes.
The light of the flashlight was extinguished. After everyone had rested, Lu Shang and Tang Yong sat at the outermost positions, blocking the bright light from the flashlights with their bodies, and patrolled the dark corners around them.
Because her back was turned, she naturally didn't notice that in the dark sight, Wang Fanglu, who had originally turned her head to one side, was mechanically turning her head back, her eyes bulging, and her black eyes stared motionless.
Lu Shang and Tang Yong's expressionless faces slowly revealed a strange smile, showing calculations.
"Well……"
Tang Ling, whose consciousness was chaotic, murmured softly, but did not attract the attention of the people around her.
She felt very painful at this moment.
The familiar coldness climbed up along her ankles again. The body she was lying on was extremely heavy at this time. She didn't even have the strength to move her fingers. The familiar coldness lay on her body, hands
He grabbed her neck and gradually tightened his grip. The girl came close to Tang Ling's ear and complained dissatisfiedly: "Why are you ignoring me?"
Tang Ling suddenly opened her eyes. Her face, pale skin, and dark eyes were reflected in her red eyes. The shocked fear on her face made those eyes bend with satisfaction. Tang Ling looked away with some discomfort.
Moving to the side, he saw his companions lying next to him, closing their eyes peacefully, breathing steadily, and still sleeping.
And they also had the little girl on them, strangling their necks, and in the dark distance, pairs of red eyes slowly approached. The alarm bell in Tang Ling's heart rang loudly, and she was anxious and wanted to look at the others.
He shouted, but he couldn't speak. His mouth felt like it was stuck with glue and he couldn't open it at all.
And the red eyes in front of her looked at her and their eyes were moistened little by little because of the anxiety. The pride and evil in their eyes were even worse. The hands holding her neck continued to exert force, and she almost couldn't breathe...
Desperation rose in Tang Ling's heart. From the corner of her eye, she saw the people she cared about. The little girl on them stretched out her sharp claws and poked the beating heart in her chest!
don't want!
Tang Ling shouted desperately in her heart. The aura on her body suddenly changed, and her originally dark eyes gradually turned into the same red color. The little girl who originally pinched her neck looked at Tang Ling's explosion in horror. Tang Ling waited angrily.
The instigator in front of me is preparing to strangle it...
Suddenly, all the little girls disappeared, the surroundings returned to calm, and all the companions that Tang Ling saw in her eyes also disappeared. Qiu Yanling's lullaby came to her ears again, and Tang Ling's angry eyes once again became sleepy.
, she couldn't help but slowly closed her eyes, and her breathing became steady again.
All this is just Tang Ling's dream.
It was her special ability that predicted the danger.
But he was deliberately interrupted at the moment when he was about to explode.
In the real reality, Liu Ruyan retracted her raised hand and heard Tang Ling's breathing become steady again. She smiled with satisfaction, rubbed her eyes sleepily, yawned slightly, and looked
Glancing at the guys who were about to move in the darkness in the distance, he raised his head and glanced at Wang Fanglu, who was twitching slightly next to him. Liu Ruyan closed her eyes again with some anticipation.
What interesting things will happen next?
"Lu Shang, you must have had a hard time on this journey." Tang Yong and Lu Shang, who were sitting aside, didn't notice the silent movement at all. They chatted about nothing.
"Okay, it's all over."
Lu Shang nodded and shook his head. He raised his head tiredly and sighed. Then, he lowered his head, buried his face in his hands, and his shoulders sank. Only at this time, the people he cared about were
After resting, Lu Shang dared to show his helplessness.
Tang Yong patted Lu Shang's shoulder comfortingly and said, "You have done a great job. For such a young child, you can take charge of the overall situation and protect so many of us. You have done a great job."
"Oh, I know, but..."
Lu Shang raised his head, forced a smile towards Tang Yong, then lowered his head again, holding his long knife, silent for a long time, and murmured: "But I still failed to protect all of you. I just feel that some
Sorry Zhou Chen."
"Zhou Chen? Ah..." Tang Yong was confused for a moment, and then he remembered Jiang Yuan who kept shouting in the weeds, and fell silent, not knowing how to comfort Lu Shang.
"Jiang Yuan and Zhou Chen actually didn't have to come with us. Originally, I thought that Zhou Chen would definitely go out to play with Jiang Yuan, so we decided that only a few of us would come here to play. But it was Jiang Yuan who said,
Zhou Chen has such a good friendship with us, how could we regret missing out on this kind of group trip because of her, and then in the end, they both came together and followed us, and ended up being forced to encounter this."
Lu Shang looked at the knife in his hand, his fingers turned white from exertion. Lu Shang looked at Zhou Chen who was sleeping beside him, then turned back and continued: "We obviously came together, but now something happened to Jiang Yuan.
I obviously promised them that I would protect them all, and I obviously promised Zhou Chen to go find Jiang Yuan, but I failed to do it."
"You have tried your best." Tang Yong comforted him, but his words sounded a little weak.
Yes, try your best. These three words are what people fear the most, because they are always linked to failure and regret. You tried your best, but you just failed.
Lu Shang thought that during the recent period, Zhou Chen no longer had much communication with him, but was instead fooling around with Zhang Ziang. He knew that as early as when he gave up Jiang Yuan's last possibility of survival, they
It is impossible for the relationship to go back to what it was before.
He kept saying that he would help him find Jiang Yuan, but until the end, he only considered Lu Li and the others.
His self-righteous selfishness caused him to give up the life of someone he cared about for the second time.
…
Um?
the second time?
Lu Shang, who was still deep in thought, suddenly raised his head, startling Tang Yong beside him. Lu Shang had no time to pay attention to Tang Yong's inquiry. Now his head was spinning at high speed, and his thoughts were getting more and more confused.
