Volume Two, The First Floor. Doom Chapter 73. Chen Qi's Sacrifice
"Are you ok?"
Chen Qi walked up to Lu Xiu, stretched out his hand and asked.
"Well, I've recovered a bit."
Lu Xiu sighed helplessly, held Chen Qi's hand, and stood up using his strength. Then he looked at Chen Qi up and down and asked, "What about you, are you okay?"
"fine."
Chen Qi was still the same as before. Except for his face being a little pale, there seemed to be nothing serious. Lu Xiu nodded and quickly took the magnetic card to open the door of the confinement room while the mechanical arms around him were not operating again.
"Chen Qi, are you really okay? Do you want Tang Ling to restore your energy?"
Taking advantage of Lu Xiu's opening to open the door, Bai Lu quickly pulled Tang Ling to ask, her eyes full of worry.
Although Chen Qi looked safe and sound to the naked eye, she could still feel the strong aura of death when she got a little closer to Chen Qi.
Chen Qi now looks even more unreal than the soulless look he had before. He seems to be trying to force himself to appear normal.
Tang Ling on the side returned to her original state the moment Chen Qi came out. She looked at Chen Qi in front of her and answered Bai Lu's words with a smile. Her lips moved several times, but she could not say anything.
She knew what he wanted to do. When she wanted to speak, Chen Qi took advantage of Bai Lu not paying attention and quietly stretched out his fingers to Tang Ling's lips. He smiled gently, his eyes filled with joy.
It's calm.
He clearly awaits his end.
Tang Ling's mind moved, her eyes darkened, she pursed her lips, and finally nodded slightly. She didn't say anything, she just stretched out her hand and slowly grabbed Chen Qi's arm.
Feeling that the nearly exhausted energy in his body was gradually filling up, and a warm feeling of comfort spread throughout his body, Chen Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled gratefully at Tang Ling, leaned into her ear and whispered softly: "I'm sorry, thank you.
.”
I'm sorry for my prejudice against Tang Ling in the past, and thanked her for her last kindness to him.
"Didi, click——"
"Let's go, I don't want to stay here any longer." Finally, the door to the confinement room was opened, and Lu Xiu looked towards the corridor outside the door for a moment, then walked out of the confinement room, carefully exploring the surroundings, lest the surroundings
What trouble will happen again?
Bai Lu followed closely, followed by Tang Ling. Chen Qi still walked at the back, protecting the safety of Tang Ling and Bai Lu.
The moment Bai Lu stepped out of the door of the confinement room, the mechanical arms that had stopped moving started to operate again, twisting more fiercely than before. They were intertwined, grinning triumphantly, and rushed towards the door still standing.
Tang Ling and Chen Qi, and at this time, the door of the confinement room began to close automatically.
It was too late for the two of them to leave. Those arms climbed up and began to block the door. At this critical moment, Chen Qi pushed Tang Ling out hard.
Tang Ling's body was pushed hard towards Bai Lu who was standing outside. She seemed to have expected it and didn't react at all. She fell straight into Bai Lu's arms. Lu Xiu, who was facing the door, watched helplessly as Chen Qi stood there.
In the metal circle wrapped by the mechanical arm, he controlled a mechanical arm that wanted to reach out to grab Tang Ling and the others. It was difficult for one person to defeat many hands. Chen Qi's body was pierced by the mechanical arm. He was hung in the circle and watched.
Looking at the surprised Lu Xiu outside the room, Chen Qi felt as if a stone had fallen from his heart. He smiled with relief at Lu Xiu.
The door is closed and everything is quiet.
Now, there are three people left.
Bai Lu beside her had begun to cry quietly. Tang Ling was burying her head in her arms and didn't raise her head for a long time. Lu Xiu stared blankly at the closed door in front of him, a sadness rising from the bottom of his heart and spreading to him.
His torso, he felt waves of dull pain in his chest, which could hardly be relieved.
"Sooner or later, I will take you back to your parents again."
That was the promise Lu Xiu made when he first met Chen Qi and Mu Ka. Chen Qi and Mu Ka were dragged underground on their way home from school. They always wanted to go home.
They can't even go home.
Lu Xiu gave them hope to persevere. He said he would take them home. They believed in him and one day they would leave this suffocating place and go back to find their family members who cared about them.
But now, their families can no longer see them.
Lu Xiu felt that his throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound. It was so dry that his eyes became moist, but his throat was still hoarse.
"I think my mother cooks. The steamed buns with soy sauce and pork are really delicious. I must let you try them after we go out!"
In the activity room, Chen Qi followed Lu Xiu as he talked about his mother, his eyes full of love.
"My parents are very strict with me. When I come home, they will probably beat me up."
Muka said timidly, recalling the usual serious appearance of his parents, speaking of fear, but his eyes were full of longing.
Lu Xiu raised his head, and the dazzling white light from the ceiling shone on his face. He was a little dizzy by this light. There must be some poison in this lamp, right? Otherwise, why would he shed tears uncontrollably?
"Lu Xiu..."
Bai Lu watched Lu Xiu raise his head and lower his head sadly. She was very confused now. Where should they go? Can they really escape back to the ground?
What kind of perverted person could design so many outrageous machines and conduct so many cruel and inhumane experiments?
Lu Xiu sighed deeply, and said to the two people beside him: "Let's go, we must get out alive."
In the empty corridor, three figures moved slowly, and the surroundings were completely silent. Only the sound of shoes colliding with the floor could be heard. Lu Xiu and the other three were silent all the way, and no longer had the high spirits they had when they first escaped.
"This is it."
When passing by a room, Bai Lu pointed to the closed door in front of her, reminding the two people beside her.
"Are you sure this is here?"
Lu Xiu looked at the house Bai Lu pointed at strangely, expressing doubt.
There are no marks on the door of this room, no data showing the status of the room, and no signs indicating the contents of the room. There is only an electronic screen placed on the wall next to it, which displays the words "Scan the magnetic card".
This room looks weird no matter what.
"As long as we pass this way, we can go directly to that room and we can leave."
Seeing Bai Lu confirming again and again, Lu Xiu finally put aside his doubts, compromised, took out the magnetic card in his pocket, and scanned it on the electronic screen.
"Didi, click——"
The door seemed to have been closed for a long time. It creaked and finally opened with difficulty. Lu Xiu and the other three slowly walked in.
