Survival in the Brink of Despair
In this moment of chaos and danger, everyone persisted in their search for survival. In the darkness, their figures seemed so small and fragile. Every breath was tinged with fear, and every step felt like a thrilling gamble with death.
Lin Yu held Suna's hand tightly. He could feel it trembling constantly, his palms covered in sweat. But his eyes were firm, and he had only one thought in his mind: to protect her. "Don't be afraid, Suna, we will be fine." His voice was trembling slightly, but it was full of comfort.
Tears welled up in Suna's eyes, and her heartbeat was like a rapid drumbeat. "Lin Yu, I... I'm so scared." Her voice was filled with tears, and her body involuntarily moved closer to Lin Yu.
The director led the way, his eyes sharp, each step carefully chosen. His clothes were torn, and his body bore many scrapes, but his steps remained firm and powerful. "Everyone, watch your step! Follow me!" he shouted, his voice echoing in the narrow space.
The old man followed closely, enduring the pain. His face was pale, but his eyes revealed an unyielding will. He prayed silently in his heart: "God bless us, please let us get out alive."
Suddenly, a huge stone slab fell from above without any warning, roaring with the breath of death. It was about to hit Lin Yu and Suna, and their eyes were filled with despair and fear.
"Be careful!" At this critical moment, the director rushed over and pushed them away with all his strength. The stone slab hit the ground with a dull thud and a cloud of dust.
"Director!" everyone exclaimed, their voices filled with concern and worry.
The director was thrown to the side by the huge impact. His body was in unbearable pain, but he gritted his teeth and struggled to get up from the ground. "I'm fine, don't stop, keep going!" His voice was weak, but full of determination.
At that moment, the light in the room grew dimmer, as if about to be completely swallowed by darkness. The atmosphere grew increasingly eerie, a chilling feeling. The shadows on the walls seemed to come alive, lunging at them with bared fangs and claws.
Suna sobbed and said, "Is it really true that we can't get out? I don't want to die here." Her voice was full of despair and fear, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
Lin Yu held her hand tightly and comforted her, "No, Suna. We have been through so much, we will definitely find a way out. Believe me, and believe everyone." His heart was actually full of fear, but he knew that at this time, he had to be strong.
They continued forward, each step filled with difficulty. Suddenly, they discovered some strange symbols on a wall. Those symbols flickered with a faint light, like spirits dancing in the darkness.
The old man's eyes lit up when he saw the symbols. He ignored his injuries and stumbled forward, examining them carefully. "This... this could be the code to deactivate the mechanism!" His voice was filled with surprise and excitement.
Everyone was excited and gathered around to study it.
"Old man, can you decipher it?" the director asked anxiously.
The old man frowned, lost in thought. "Let me think, let me think..." His mind raced, recalling the various ancient symbols and codes he had studied.
Time passed by minute by minute, and every second seemed so long.
"I think I have some idea." The old man's voice broke the silence, "but I need to try it."
He carefully stretched out his fingers, touched the symbols, and combined them according to his own speculation.
Every attempt carries with it huge risks, and if it goes wrong, it may lead to more serious consequences.
"No, that's not right." The old man shook his head, beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Think about it again, old man, we believe in you." Lin Yu encouraged.
The old man took a deep breath and reorganized his thoughts. Finally, after some intense thinking and attempts, the old man finally succeeded in deciphering the code.
With a deep roar, the mechanism ceased functioning. The room, which had been constantly shifting and deforming, gradually returned to calm, and the dust slowly settled.
"Great, we succeeded!" Lin Yu shouted excitedly, his voice filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.
However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a secret door slowly opened. From inside, a cold breath emanated, as if it were a chilling wind from hell.
"What is this?" Suna asked fearfully, stepping back involuntarily.
The director took a deep breath and calmed himself. "Whatever it is, we have to go and check it out. Maybe this is our way out of here." His voice was firm and decisive.
Everyone cautiously entered the secret door, revealing a long, narrow passage. Thick fog filled the passage, making it difficult to see the path ahead. The ground beneath their feet was damp and slippery, and water dripped from the walls from time to time, making a crisp sound.
"Everyone be careful and don't get separated." The director reminded.
They could only grope their way forward, their hearts filled with anxiety. Every step they took, they didn't know what was waiting for them. Lin Yu held Su Na's hand tightly, afraid that she would get lost.
"Lin Yu, I'm so scared." Suna's voice trembled.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Lin Yu comforted.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the front, like something crawling.
"Be careful!" the director shouted.
Everyone stopped and stared nervously ahead. A gigantic figure gradually emerged from the thick fog...
