Chapter 54: The Man Trapped in Quicksand

With the help of the wind speed, the iron chain jumped forward ten meters and out of the quicksand range.

Guo Zi looked at the landing point and a loud thunder struck down, splitting the bulge and forming a medium-sized pit. The iron chain was inserted into it and the pit was immediately covered with yellow sand.

The rope was taut, but the men didn't dare move. The sand was loose, and the seemingly tight rope couldn't withstand the pull. Ao Chengyi took out a few leftover watermelon seeds and gave them to Lu Chaoyang. "Try to induce labor. Wrap yourself around the rope and move forward, slowly taking root deeper."

"good."

A few watermelon seeds fell into Lu Chaoyang's hands, and green buds slowly emerged. The vines stretched out, wrapped around the rope and continued to move forward until they reached the place where the iron chain was rooted, and then spread to the surrounding areas.

Lu Chaoyang's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. He stopped only after exhausting the last bit of his energy. "Brother, this is the limit. I don't know if this will work."

Ao Chengyi nodded, "Let me try first."

He climbed up the rope slowly, pulling at it loosely and tightly, feeling unreliable. Ao Chengyi didn't dare to use too much force, and tried to curl himself up to reduce the weight. His body did pull up quite a bit, with only the lower part of his thighs in the sand.

The little friends all saw hope, held their breath and dared not make a sound.

Ao Chengyi also stepped carefully. He only had one chance, so he pursed his lips and moved up little by little.

The dawn of hope is approaching, but God will always punish those who are abandoned from time to time.

After a shaking, the rope loosened completely, and Ao Chengyi returned to the time before liberation, sinking deeply into the sand.

My friends, is God playing tricks on them?

"It was worth it. If it weren't for Big Brother, I'd be dead long ago. I've earned a lot by living until now." Guo Zi chuckled, not even a hint of fear at the approaching death. He was pulled from the dead by Ao Chengyi. Ao Chengyi had given him a second life, and this life belonged to Ao Chengyi. "Big Brother, you're my big brother for life, and in the next life too." He suddenly leaped up, grabbed Ao Chengyi's leg, and pulled it up. His sudden movement startled his friends, who were completely unable to react.

Ao Chengyi frowned, and with his backhand, he grabbed Guo Zi, who was sinking so low that only his head was left. His expression was cold, "I don't keep idiots around me. If you do it again, you'll be kicked out."

"Big Brother!" Guo Zi was utterly discouraged. He was the only useless person on the team. He had no brains, no hands, nothing. He was just a burden. He thought it was worth it to trade his life for everyone else's. But in the end, it didn't make any difference at all. He was truly useless.

The friends finally came to their senses. If they could move now, they would really want to punch him each.

"Can you be any more stupid? Who can you save with such little strength? Do you want to sacrifice your life for the country?" Feng Tao was a man of quick temper and he sprayed at him directly.

Guo Zi lowered his head. "I just don't want us to die here in obscurity. Big brother, big sister-in-law, and Lebao are waiting for him. What will they do if something happens to him? You are all better than me. Staying with big brother will help him better. I don't mind."

"Guo Zi, we are a whole. There is no strong or weak one, who should live or die. What you said really hurts our brotherly feelings. We have been trapped in the desert for so long and no one has given up. We finally got help from our sister-in-law so that we don't have to starve to death. We have gas and a car, and we can go out and have a bright future. But you are thinking about dying. Is that appropriate? Is it worth it for us to live so hard?" Lu Chaoyang has always been the brainpower of the small team. He has always been the one who does the ideological work of the small team. When he lectures seriously, he looks like the dean of studies.

Guo Zi felt even more ashamed, "I didn't do that. I just wanted to do something for everyone."

"There will be plenty of opportunities for you to do it in the future, don't seek death now." Duan Jianghe glared at him. What a disgusting thing. It's such a bad time and he's still being sentimental.

"That's right, Guo Zi, I'm the one who loves big brother the most, you can't snatch the credit from me. I haven't taken any action yet, but you've already done it. That's too much." Ding Jiajia's face was full of indignation. She couldn't tolerate anyone snatching the credit.

Guo Zi was tongue-tied to begin with, and after being attacked by his friends, he lost his ability to speak, his face flushed red, and he was at a loss.

Everyone was almost stuck and couldn't help but feel anxious.

Everyone looked calm. They were used to life and death and had nothing to be afraid of.

Lu Chaoyang looked around and saw his friend nod slightly. He said, "Brother, please enter the space."

Ao Chengyi lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking, as if he didn't hear a word.

The friend was a little anxious. "Brother, what Guo Zi said is right. Sister-in-law and Lebao are still waiting for you. You have a chance to survive. There is no need to die with us. If you are alive, we are alive. Let's go into the space."

Ao Chengyi opened his eyelids and said, "You won't die. I said, as long as I am still breathing, I will never let anything happen to you. Shut up and save your energy. I don't know what will happen next."

"Big Brother"

Ao Chengyi raised his eyebrows, and everyone fell silent. He felt helpless and didn't know what to do.

The bodies kept sinking. When the yellow sand covered the chest and continued to the neck, and then went up, the pressure made the chest cavity stuffy and uncomfortable. If it weren't for the oxygen masks, everyone would have rolled their eyes long ago.

The higher they went, the more confused their minds became, and the feeling of suffocation was very uncomfortable. Now even if they wanted to do anything, it was too late. They could only look at each other, brothers for life.

Yellow sand filled the air above our heads, and death was clearly visible.

Ao Chengyi suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness, and his dark eyes gradually lit up.

Lan Shiruo suddenly woke up, sweating all over.

Little Lebao groaned uncomfortably, turned over and continued to sleep.

Lan Shiruo kissed the little cheek, got up, took a shower, and sat in front of the mist in a daze.

Outside the space, the sky gradually darkened, and the people who went out to search for supplies came back one after another. The villa area began to become noisy, and occasionally you could hear people talking about them, saying that there were new arrivals or something.

Lan Shiruo listened to a few words in the space, and when she saw Lebao woke up, she took care of him and took him out of the space.

All the friends woke up and lay in bed without moving.

"What a horrible weather! I'm freezing to death." Someone outside shouted.

My friends covered their mouths and giggled. They were very warm. Besides, it was quite interesting to see a group of women sleeping in the same bed and chattering about gossip.

Lan Shiruo came out, took a look, and followed in.

Throw little Lebao into the bed of Jiangxiang and Brother Shu and let them play by themselves.

Then take out some snacks and drinks, and you will feel extremely comfortable.

"It feels so good! It would be great if we could lie like this forever." Miaomiao rolled over and fell into Yunshui Yao's soft arms.

Yunshui Yao poked it away in disdain, "Don't take advantage of me, little girl."

Miaomiao pouted and turned around to lie in Han Qingquan's arms, "My brother is still the best. We are all women, who cares about who?"

Han Qingquan squinted at her coldly, ignored her, and said calmly, "When it was all human, I didn't live like a human. Now it's all monsters, I live like a human."
