Anna and the others were stunned.

Lin Wu nodded lightly.

In Lu Guichi's mind, he originally didn't intend to let her go down the mine, but he had to take the things in the underground tomb. Without her, if he wanted to open the round table to take things, he would have to use his own blood.

Since her blood, like his, could open the pedestal and take out the things inside, it should also be equally special and could be used to resist the black fog outside.

Bo Yuting and Gu Shiqing both thought of this, were silent for a moment, and turned to Anna and the others.

"You are not allowed to reveal a single word of what happened underground. Remember?"

Several people were confused, but they instinctively realized that something was wrong and nodded.

Lin Wu asked them to take out their gas masks and put them on. She cut her palm with a dagger, squeezed out her own blood, and smeared it on Bo Yuting and Gu Shiqing first, and then on the others.

When she was done, she turned pale.

Guan Chen stared at her and asked suddenly, "Black Fox, are you... related to Lu Guichi in some way?"

"I don't know. He said nothing. I am a normal person different from him." Lin Wu said, lowering his head and smearing the blood on himself.

She cut too deep, and the wound on the palm of her hand was now turned outward.

Bo Yuting felt so distressed that he waited for her to finish and bandaged her immediately, but he didn't have much gauze and alcohol left. Gu Shiqing beside him hurriedly took out what he had, and the others also hurried to find their own. After patching together the gauze and alcohol, they finally had enough to bandage the wound.

"Okay, let's go."

Lin Wu withdrew her hand, and the pain became more obvious to her.

The group walked towards the mine outside.

There was only one winding mine tunnel outside, so they didn't have to worry about getting sidetracked, so they just kept going forward. At the end, the mine tunnel outside was filled with black fog as expected.

Lin Wu took out a rope and tied it around her waist, then handed it to the others, asking them to do the same, so that they would not get lost in the black fog. Then she was the first to go out.

Bo Yuting was beside her, and Gu Shiqing followed closely behind.

It turned out that Lin Wu's blood was very useful and they didn't feel any discomfort at all.

They couldn't be completely at ease. In the black fog, the hairy human-faced monsters from before could appear at any time, and the fog was opaque. They could only grope forward cautiously without any clue, not knowing which part of the mine they were in.

Fortunately, they accidentally found the place where the previous miners had died, and soon discovered marks left by other miners.

Lin Wu quickly remembered their corresponding locations on the map, "I know where we are, follow me."

Xiao Yang and Zhang Shan cried with joy: "Ms. Lin, we knew you were the best at finding the way!"

The group calmed down, but soon encountered new troubles. On the one hand, they were exhausted due to their serious injuries, and on the other hand, they really encountered those monsters with hairy human faces, and there were a lot of them!

For them at the moment, this was extremely difficult. They were already injured and had difficulty moving, and it was even more difficult to completely avoid the monsters' attacks in the dark, and there was no way they could deal with them for a long time.

Seeing that the speed of advancement was getting slower and slower, and finally being forced to stop where they were to deal with the monsters, Anna suddenly asked, "Lin Wu, in your opinion, how deep underground is this place? Is there a shortcut nearby?!"

Lin Wu was covered in wounds. He thought for a moment, "It's thirty meters underground. Go about ten meters to the right. There's a path that goes up diagonally. That's the fastest."

"There is no way to escape even if there is a road. There are too many monsters and we have no way to escape!" Xiao Yang's difficult voice sounded.

The crowd could only take care not to get hurt again. If they hadn't been connected by ropes, they would have been scattered long ago. But it was also because of the ropes that when others accidentally fell, they would also fall with them.

At this moment, Guan Chen's voice with a slightly changed tone sounded: "Anna, what are you doing, why are you cutting the rope?!"

Everyone subconsciously turned towards the source of the sound.

Anna was unusually calm: "We can't get out if we continue like this. I'll lead those monsters away for you, you take the opportunity to run."

Lin Wu was keenly aware of what she was going to do: "You can't lead them away, don't do anything stupid!"

"Who said I can't lead it away?"

Anna seemed to be aroused by her competitive spirit, and seemed to have made some decision. She said resolutely and pretended to be relaxed: "Lin Wu, do you know that I didn't like you when I first saw you, because you beat me up again and again, and it hurt me! Beating me up is fine, but you didn't even say sorry to me! It doesn't matter, I am a magnanimous lady and I won't bother with you..."

The monsters around seemed to hesitate. They heard that nearly half of the nearby monsters turned and rushed towards the direction where the smell of blood came from. Someone pushed them away and stumbled and ran away desperately!

“Anna!”

Guan Chen finally lost his composure, called her loudly, and wanted to go over.

But the next moment, Anna's sharp voice sounded from a distance.

"No one is allowed to come over here!"

Her voice faded away: "All of you go out safely, remember that you owe me, and be nice to the Seventeenth Regiment in the future..."

Lin Wu's words were stuck in his throat, and the voice that finally came out was hoarse and bloody, and he said, "Go!"

She failed to dodge the attack of a monster and almost fell down after staggering. Fortunately, Bo Yuting, who was not far away, grabbed her in time and pulled her forward.

A group of people staggered, brandishing their swords as they ran.

Finally, they found the slope that Lin Wu mentioned and climbed in one by one.

The mine was very small. They couldn't use their fists or feet inside, nor could they deal with the monsters chasing them from below.

Zhang Shan's panicked voice suddenly rang out: "Xiao Yang? Where's Xiao Yang?"

He was at a loss. "Xiao Yang and I were at the bottom, but the rope broke. He didn't catch up, and the monsters didn't come up to attack us..."

Everyone stopped suddenly.

Gu Shiqing turned around, "Xiao Yang!"

It was empty down there, without any echo. No one knew when Xiao Yang disappeared, and they couldn't see clearly in the black fog.

After a few seconds of silence, almost everyone wanted to go down, but at this moment, a huge "bang" suddenly appeared at the bottom of the ramp, and the instantaneous heat wave shook them upwards.

The blank humming finally enveloped them at this moment.

The group of people climbed up with difficulty, and unanimously insisted on climbing up.

The silence was deafening. No one mentioned Xiao Yang again, but their hands and feet were shaking slightly as they climbed up.

Zhang Shan's suppressed sobs made them crawl faster, and even though they had no strength left, they still persisted.

Unconsciously, the light of the flashlight appeared in their sight! After a few seconds of confusion, they realized that the black fog had retreated from the ground to the bottom of the mine, and was still slowly retreating downwards, so that the light of the flashlight they were carrying could be seen.

They had left the range of the black fog and would no longer encounter monsters.

In fact, even if the black fog did not dissipate, no monsters would catch up with them.

"At the end, there is a vertical mine tunnel going upwards. Climb about ten meters and you will reach the ground." Lin Wu's tired voice rang out, and the others followed silently.

In the end, they were almost exhausted and could only move forward by instinct.

It took them half an hour to cover a distance of just a few dozen meters! Finally, they touched the ground. Lin Wu climbed up with his hands and feet. Without taking a rest, he leaned over to pull Bo Yuting, and then pulled everyone up together. They collapsed on the ground together, gasping for breath.

What meets the eye is the endless night sky, covered with dark clouds and a few scattered stars.

"We... finally got out..."

Zhang Shan murmured, and the next second he burst into tears.

Everyone else was silent.

Lin Wu pulled off his gas mask and covered his eyes with his hands.

Then, Bo Yuting's vigilant voice sounded: "Someone is coming, and they seem... to have bad intentions."
