Chapter 1367 Dayun Mountain 7
The insects were still crawling into his mouth, and at this time, several other people came back one after another.
Without exception, they were all wet, their faces were pale, and their bellies were bulging.
"Hurry up and save them!"
“Close the door!”
Two groups of voices were heard, the ticket seller was dragged away, and the remaining people hurriedly closed the door.
There was a knock on the door.
"Open the door!"
"We found a well outside and the water is delicious."
"How are we going to get water if you don't come out?"
"Open the door! Let us in!"
The door was banged hard, and the sound of banging could be heard everywhere, including in front of the door and the windows.
"She can't get the worm out of her mouth!"
"The door is about to be broken down by someone outside!"
"Aren't there only four of us who haven't returned? How...why are there six people knocking on the door?"
Suddenly someone said something, and the person who heard it felt a chill down their back.
Bang--
The old window couldn't withstand the prolonged beating and it broke.
A familiar face emerged from the outside, clearly the person who had gone missing a few days ago. Her hair was soaking wet and stuck to her scalp, her head looked abnormally large, and her lips were large, swollen, and an abnormally purple color.
Her gray eyes seemed to be staring, her teeth were exposed, and her facial muscles were pulled up to reveal a strange smile.
"Finally found you..."
As her hand slid, something surged up her throat.
Crash—a large number of soft worms mixed with stomach acid and mucus were spit out from the mouth.
The water kept flowing like a faucet that would never stop. The soft worms began to slowly crawl towards them.
The other windows were also broken. Not only six people, but almost all the people who had disappeared before had arrived. They all looked like that. Soon, the insects had filled the entire ruined temple.
"Ah! Ahem—"
Someone used a knife to cut off the extremely swollen flesh worm in the ticket seller's mouth, intending to break it up and take it out, but the remaining half suddenly drilled into her stomach.
The conductor trembled all over, his body turning purple and black. Lifting his clothes, he saw his belly rise and fall, following the path of the insect's movement. One small bulge became two, two became four... his belly visibly enlarged.
"Help, help me!"
The conductor was holding the hand of the old lady next to her tightly, her consciousness already blurred. She held the kind-hearted old lady tightly, her fingers were pulled white, and she was too strong to break free.
There are bugs outside, and someone inside has a stomach full of bugs.
The most important thing is the fog!
White fog appeared in places where there were a large number of insects. As the number of insects increased, the white fog rose and became thicker, gradually gathering in places where there were many people.
Fu Anan had just taken a step when she heard a snap and stepped on a bug that had crawled to her feet. The bug, which hadn't sucked blood yet, splattered milky white liquid after being crushed.
In just a short while, the bugs were everywhere.
Fu Anan found her bag, took out clothes from it and wrapped herself tightly.
Others were not so lucky. Bugs crawled onto some people's arms or other exposed parts of their bodies. Screams were heard all around. People were constantly cleaning the bugs that had crawled onto their bodies and gathering towards places with fewer bugs, but the dilapidated temple was only this small.
There's nowhere to run.
The statues in the dilapidated temple were crawling with insects, so densely packed that they connected together like wriggling skin.
This is only the fourth day of the game!
Fu Anan kept shaking his body to prevent the insects from climbing up, and secretly took out a large flame horn with his right hand. It had been confirmed before that these insects were afraid of fire.
"Everyone come here quickly, there is a tunnel here!"
Just then, a roar was heard.
The person speaking was Yang Zitao.
She lifted a large piece of rotten carpet on the ground in front of the statue, revealing a secret door inside. The two of them worked together to open the lid on the ground, revealing a hole only half a meter wide.
It was bottomless inside, and cold air was rising up.
The insects all around were about to drown people, and no one had time to think about what was going on in there. They urgently needed a shelter.
Only one person can pass through the cave at a time.
Everyone rushed down in a panic, blocking the entrance of the cave for a while.
"Don't worry, throw your luggage down first, and then get off one by one!"
Zhang Qiang began to maintain order.
Fu Anan was pushed to the back. At this time, the door was broken, and the "people" who were originally blocked outside came in. Together with the companions who had left before, there were eight people in total.
Human figures appeared and disappeared in the fog in the room, twisting their way towards the living people still outside. The swarm of insects was only one meter away from them, and the person standing behind Fu Anan was already running forward in fear.
"Those things are coming!"
"Go away and let me go in first."
There is a traffic jam ahead and bugs are coming from behind.
Fu Anan opened her woven bag and took out all the extra clothes inside.
"Who has fire?"
“I, I have it!”
The middle-aged man closest to her quickly handed over his lighter.
Cotton clothes can easily catch fire, and throwing them on the ground can immediately stop the insects from approaching. This made Zhang Qiang change his plan to go down immediately and re-direct the remaining people.
Cotton clothing is flammable, but not long-lasting.
Fu Anan quickened his pace and climbed into the pit as fast as he could.
Zhang Qiang arrived shortly after, stood behind her and patted her shoulder. "Little girl, you're very smart and know how to use fire to drive away those bugs. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get down."
"Thanks."
Suddenly being praised, Fu Anan smiled shyly and subtly avoided his hand that wanted to touch her hair.
"My little Hua gets embarrassed easily, Officer Zhang, please stop teasing her."
Seeing this, Yang Zitao quickly stepped forward to stop Zhang Qiang and Fu Anan from getting closer, and then changed the topic to business, "There seems to be a lot of space ahead, should we continue walking?"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the lid from above.
"Let's go ahead and take a look."
##
The corridor was longer than they had imagined.
There was no light source and it was pitch black all around. To prevent getting lost, everyone held hands.
The narrow space gives people a sense of oppression and insecurity
This feeling was especially magnified in a dark environment. Even the presence of many people couldn't weaken it. Fu Anan's palms began to sweat and her nerves were on edge.
Until a glimmer of light appeared ahead.
"Hey, what do you see?"
The person walking in front stopped and looked at the scene in the distance.
Those were a bunch of crystals emitting green fluorescence.
Light drifted across the crystal, resembling the ever-changing light and darkness of the aurora. By the light, everyone finally saw their surroundings clearly. This was a cave, and the upside-down stalactites were particularly sharp.
Tick-tock——
Water dripped down from the stalactites, creating a small puddle underground.
“It’s water!”
The first person who discovered it shouted out first, and it meant that things had finally turned around. They had unexpectedly found water after the crisis!
