When Lin Sanjiu rushed to half the depth of the cave, the fire behind him suddenly brightened up, as if someone had poured gasoline on it, making half of the cave red. The hot air was distorted by the fire, and burst out like a heat wave.
, it was so hot that even breathing was difficult for a while.
Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes and looked back, her heart suddenly seized by a blank void.
...Dingliu is dead.
At this moment, she even had an impulse to go back and dig out Dingliu's body and find a place to bury her - but her reason suppressed the impulse and still drove Lin Sanjiu step by step.
He ran towards the cave entrance.
In the cave ahead, dim light had already filtered through; they were not far from the cave entrance. Just when Lin Sanjiu turned a corner and was about to rush out, she suddenly stopped and waved her arm to stop them.
Ji Shanqing, who was beside him, immediately pushed him to the ground - a bolt of lightning passed over his head and hit the stone wall with a "bang", causing a stream of sparks to flash out.
"Varied--"
The gift bag had just called out one word, and suddenly the [Weather Forecast Host]'s lips opened and closed rapidly again, and he suddenly understood; Lin Sanjiu grabbed him, turned around and ran back: "We are leaving late.
There are at least twenty abilities waiting for us outside, if we go out now we will die!"
"What should we do?"
Lin Sanjiu bit her lips and turned white. Apparently, she had no choice for the moment. She grabbed the gift bag and ran a few steps deeper, hiding behind the corner. After a few seconds, she looked around, only to find that the fallen species outside were not there.
Didn't chase him in.
...However, Lin Sanjiu's face did not look much better.
"Sister..." Ji Shanqing obviously noticed something was wrong, "...did I see it wrong?"
"No, you read that right," Lin Sanjiu suddenly coughed twice and hurriedly pulled him to squat down together. "The entrance to the cave was indeed sealed by their abilities. Now the smoke cannot escape, and they are all trapped here.
In the hole."
As she spoke, she called out two bottles of water and a change of clothes; she tore open the clothes and wet them with water. The two of them covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths and lay on the ground, their expressions looking ugly.
The billowing smoke poured out one after another from the nursery cave, covering the entire tunnel almost in the blink of an eye. Just looking up at the black smoke rolling above your head is enough to make people feel chilly. Covering your mouth and nose is only temporary.
If they can't get out without the gift package, Lin Sanjiu will choke to death here first.
The only way at the moment is probably to break out - but the [Weather Forecast Host], who is still standing upright in the thick smoke, does not give them any chance: since just now, her lips have not stopped; aiming at the entrance of the hole
With more and more attack capabilities, her broadcast speed has become so fast that even Lin Sanjiu can't keep up with her thinking - it is obvious that the fallen species outside are continuously gathering at the entrance of the cave.
For a moment, Lin Sanjiu really didn't know what he could do to break through.
"Can you break the ability to seal the hole first?" The thick smoke had not had that great impact on the gift bag. He could still take out the wet cloth and say a word - but Lin Sanjiu could only cover her mouth and shook her head vigorously.
.
According to the analysis of the [Weather Forecast Host], the barrier sealing the entrance of the cave can only be broken at a close distance; but the barrier is one-way - the things inside are not allowed to come out, but the ability from the outside can attack it. In this way
Come on, I'm afraid before she even gets close to the barrier, she will be beaten into a hornet's nest by countless abilities.
Teacher Yi also added at this moment: "Your consciousness has been consumed too much and you will not be able to withstand their attacks for long."
Lin Sanjiu pounded the rock wall anxiously. Even though her mind was spinning rapidly, she couldn't even think of an idea.
She has experienced countless life and death dangers in the past few years. Naturally, she does not believe that she will be like a mouse in a hole and eventually choke to death from the smoke. However, even if it is a gift package, she can only frown her eyebrows tightly at this time and hesitate for a long time.
I can't hold back an idea.
"Forget it, just attack hard--"
Lin Sanjiu took off the wet cloth and managed to say half a sentence, but was choked by a burst of smoke and coughed again; Ji Shanqing's expression suddenly became solemn, and she was just about to stand up when she heard the raging fire in the cave behind her.
There, a sharp cry suddenly came out.
Lin Sanjiu was stunned, and quickly exchanged glances with Ji Shanqing; the two of them did not move, and both pricked up their ears.
"Mom," a girl's voice, obviously still immature, cried with a cry: "Mom, help, help!"
...what's going on?
Both of them were confused for a moment.
"Those children were acting stupid just now, why..." Li Bao muttered, with a confused look on his face, "Sister, should we go back and take a look?"
Before Lin Sanjiu could make a sound, he suddenly heard the sound of something falling down inside, startling the girl to scream again - her voice sounded not far away, as if she was right next to the nursery hole.
Shi Zheng was crying and coughing and shouted: "Who will save my mother!"
Her mother...?
When she thought that there was only one adult woman in the fire cave, Dingliu, Lin Sanjiu immediately pressed the wet cloth and nodded, hunched over her waist, and walked as quickly as possible toward the depths of the thick smoke together with the gift bag.
When I returned to the underground nursery cave again, it was a completely different scene.
Thousands of cribs formed a vast ocean of fire. In the red firelight, black smoke billowed out in bursts. Countless figures on fire were twisting on the beds and screaming lowly.
, there are also many who seem to have no pain and sit motionless on the bed.
Dingliu's back was still lying quietly in the original place, with no sign of life. However, at this time, there was a small figure beside her, holding Dingliu's shoulders, coughing desperately - she
His face was filled with snot and tears, and he even choked himself again.
Lin Sanjiu felt nervous, rushed over, picked up the child, and looked at her under the scorching light of the fire.
Different from other numb and weird children, although this little girl is also skinny and dry, her eyes are lively, and she is obviously sane and normal. When she saw Lin Sanjiu, she even shrank, then reacted and cried:
"My mother——"
"Is she your mother?" Lin Sanjiu frowned and covered her face with his wet cloth: "...how do you know Dingliu?"
The little girl took a few breaths through the wet cloth, quickly took it off and said: "I often sneak out to play, someone told me...but my mother never looks at me..."
"Why are you different from others? Where were you just now?" Lin Sanjiu looked at her carefully again - she had a flat belly, an attitude, and looked like a normal child before the end of the world; if she had seen something like this just now
A child will never let Dingliu light the fire no matter what.
"I don't know." The little girl seemed a little scared and moved closer to Dingliu. Her words were a little confused: "They said that occasionally people like me would happen... I don't know what they mean... There is nothing here.
Someone is playing with me. When I came back just now, I found that my mother was here and not moving. It was so hot..."
Once back?
Lin Sanjiu was shocked. Before she could say anything, Ji Shanqing rushed up and held down the little girl's shoulders: "You mean you just came back? Where did you come in from?"
The little girl was startled, murmured for a while, and then stammered: "...There, there is a path over there."
There is another way here!
The two of them couldn't help but feel excited and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Lin Sanjiu's face became much lighter. After thinking about it, he turned around and put Dingliu's body away, and then picked up the stunned little girl: "——Don't worry
, your mother went somewhere else. Now tell us, where is that path?"
"Over there," the little girl was obviously confused by everything in front of her. She just pointed in a direction behind the sea of fire - she was sitting in Lin Sanjiu's arms, her feet hanging down from her arms.
There was also a flower-shaped birthmark on my toe.
Although [Conscious Defense] couldn't resist many attacks, it was enough to block the fire. Fortunately, the path the little girl mentioned was not far away. The two of them walked through the sea of fire with difficulty for a minute or two before arriving there.
In front of a "small road".
It is said to be a path, but in fact it is just a gap in the rock wall.
But as time went by, this gap slowly expanded, and a space gradually appeared for thin children to squeeze out; however, Lin Sanjiu and Ji Shanqing were
It couldn't be drilled in--the two were so anxious that they thought of many ways, but finally took the risk and used the [Tornado Whip] to open the gap wider.
When a group of people emerged from the ground, Lin Sanjiu's body was covered with blood from scratches by sharp rocks; the two layers of clothes outside the gift bag were hung torn into strips, and they were flying back and forth in the air with their movements.
The wavering made him look very ugly - but they finally got rid of the smoke and the degenerate species.
The place where they came out happened to be another residential cave in the upper ring road; it is said that no one has ever lived here because of this crack, so every time the little girl sneaks out to play.
"Go up further and you'll be out," the little girl tried her best to describe in simple words. At the same time, she stretched out her arms and gestured: "It's so big outside - I heard it's scary."
"Don't be afraid," Lin Sanjiu comforted her in a hurry and walked to the entrance of the cave to look around. In the distance, she could still see groups of fallen species, all gathering at the entrance of the large nursery cave.
It turned into an ugly green and black color. She turned her head and glanced at the gift bag, and the latter understood. The two immediately quietly left the cave and quickly climbed up the ring road above their heads. They still didn't understand the situation.
The pursuers were left far behind.
The little girl seemed to know that this was a critical moment. Apart from the occasional sob, she remained quiet along the way. In this way, Lin Sanjiu finally escaped from this ant city that looked like a giant "bowl".
Even after escaping, they did not dare to slow down. They ran away non-stop for several hours. It was not until the temperature suddenly dropped that even Lin Sanjiu shivered. She finally stopped slowly and felt dazed.
He looked around for a moment.
...The topography of the world of God's Love is completely irrational and has no rules at all.
The Ant City is dry and hot, and is filled with large expanses of rocky soil, surrounded by sparse jungles that are listless and dusty. After walking this far, the woods are gradually growing like the hairline of a middle-aged man.
As we retreated further and further away, we could hardly see any tall plants anymore.
Instead, the ice layer gradually thickened under my feet.
The white mist above the head is still rolling as always, blocking the clouds and the sun, and the sky cannot be seen; when looking into the distance, what falls into the field of vision is the endless glacier plain - the snow piles up on the horizon, becoming one after another.
Gentle hills.
As the little girl in her arms sneezed clearly, Lin Sanjiu was also frozen with goosebumps. Ji Shanqing carefully pressed his steps, fearing that like just now, a dog would bite him if he was not careful.
Mud——The speed of the group slowed down, and they moved forward slowly and full of doubts in the boundless ice and snow.
After walking for a while, Lin Sanjiu finally stopped when he saw that the skin of the little girl in his arms was turning blue from the cold.
"We are at least several hundred kilometers away from the Ant City." Libao calculated in his mind, raised his head and said, "...It seems that we are safe for the time being."
"Then let's take a rest here and build a snow house to keep warm." Lin Sanjiu said as he called out another spare black vest and wrapped the shivering little girl: "I saw it before
After reading the information on this aspect, it seems that the Eskimos also use igloos to ensure the temperature..."
Ji Shanqing seemed unhappy: "But - what if the Mother Goddess comes? For her, hundreds of kilometers may be just a few steps. Besides, to build a snow house, you have to transport snow from there.
I think it’s better to go deeper, maybe we can get out of this ice field..."
"The main thing is her," Lin Sanjiu pointed to the little girl in her arms, "If she doesn't keep warm, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it."
Ji Shanqing sighed and glanced at the little girl from a distance unhappily: "...Okay."
"Don't be unhappy. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be able to escape." Lin Sanjiu put the little girl on the ground and comforted her in a low voice: "Let's build a snow house now. You won't be able to escape soon."
It's cold. Wait for us here and don't run around."
The little girl's teeth were chattering due to the cold. She nodded reluctantly and suddenly raised her head and smiled at her.
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled back. She stood up, turned and walked towards the gift bag not far away; as she walked, she greeted: "...Do you know how to build a snow house?"
Ji Shanqing elongated his face and turned his head - the next second, his expression froze on his face, gradually turning into fear, and he could not utter a single word.
Lin Sanjiu's nerves jumped and she turned around suddenly - she glanced at him and was stunned.
The little girl behind her disappeared. The black vest that wrapped her was still there, and it fell on the ice. At this time, it was stepped on by a foot as big as a house, and one edge was faintly exposed.
Two huge feet squatted side by side on the ice, and the body above the calf was lost in the white mist; there was a flower-shaped birthmark printed on the toe of one of the feet.
