21 Cave 05 The Last Breakfast
The two walked into the restaurant and saw the other eight people sitting quietly at the dining table, their chopsticks in their hands not moving at all.
Yan Shuang wondered what should have happened last night, but unexpectedly, she spent a peaceful and tranquil night.
At this moment, the long dining table was filled with a dazzling array of delicious food: fresh and tempting fruits, soft and delicious bread, tender and juicy steaks, fragrant and mellow milk, steaming hot coffee, etc. It was truly a feast for the eyes. The aroma filled the air, making one's mouth water.
Jing Ning pulled out the chair closest to the entrance and sat down, and the eight people immediately turned their attention to him.
He elegantly picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. "Why are you looking at me? Why aren't you eating? It's quite delicious."
Lin Haichen retracted his gaze and said, "Let's eat."
"Is this edible?" asked the young couple, Ye Qi, almost crying. "Is this not our last breakfast?"
Her boyfriend, who was sitting next to her, silently took out the bread he had just put in his mouth and stared blankly at her.
"No, just eat it. We'll be staying here for a few days. If we don't eat this, we'll starve to death. This is considered delicious." Yan Shuang said.
"Hey, you told me the treatment was so good earlier." After hearing Yan Shuang's words, the middle-aged fat man began to eat heartily. During the meal, he did not forget to remind Chen Rujing, who was sharing a room with him, "Eat, it's free. It would be a waste not to eat."
As the delicious food entered my stomach, yesterday's fear was long forgotten.
Yan Shuang held the handle of the cup in her hand, quietly observing everyone at the table, and then whispered to Jing Ning, "No one died last night."
Jing Ning ate the last piece of steak on the plate and wiped his mouth. "Who knows? Be careful."
After everyone finished eating, Jing Ning asked, "Was there anything unusual in your room last night?"
"There is a faceless statue in our room, but no others," said Lin Haichen.
"Yes, there's one in our room too," Xu Yaoyu said excitedly. "At first I thought the hotel didn't know how to deal with the protruding stone, but then I saw it was a statue."
Jing Ning nodded slightly.
"We have it in our room too," the couple said.
"Yes." The middle-aged fat man now completely regarded this place as a vacation place and slumped leisurely in the chair.
"What does this have to do with finding a door?" Tian Yiyi asked.
"Generally speaking, you complete the tasks in the game, or figure out where the door will be based on the clues provided in the game." Lin Haichen said.
Tian Yiyi understood.
Jing Ning said: "Let's go, let's go out and take a look."
It was too late when we arrived at the hotel yesterday, so we didn't dare to go out and walk around, so we just went back to the hotel to rest. Today, while it was still early, Jing Ning suggested going out to take a look.
No one objected.
I hadn't noticed it inside the hotel yet, but a cool breeze hit me in the face after I left the hotel.
"It's so cold." Ye Qi muttered, leaning in her boyfriend's arms.
The cavern was filled with a suffocating, oppressive atmosphere, as if the entire space had been compressed into a small, airtight cage. The deeper one went, the lower the oxygen content in the air became, making it difficult to breathe. Every breath felt like a struggle against invisible resistance.
The surrounding stone walls appear damp, the traces of countless years of dripping water. These drops slowly flow down from the cave ceiling, forming streams that meander along the stone walls and eventually converge into puddles on the ground. The dampness on the stone walls didn't just happen overnight, but rather accumulated and settled over a long period of time.
Jing Ning walked in front, slowly observing the surroundings.
The flashlight emitted a faint light. At this time, the hands and feet of several people were numb from the cold, and every step they took felt like walking on the edge of a knife.
Several girls had already started shivering with their arms hugged, and Yan Shuang was not much better, feeling cold all over.
He looked at Jing Ning wearing a thin shirt. He was a little better at keeping warm than him, but only a little. His fingers holding the phone were also red from the cold.
"You may not believe it, but I'm going to freeze to death in the summer," Xu Yaoyu said. "Why isn't it over yet?"
Jing Ning stopped in front of the pile of stones. He raised the mobile phone in his hand and pointed the bright light at the top of the pile of stones.
With the faint light from the mobile phone, you can clearly see that this pile of rocks seems to have fallen from above, but due to the dim surrounding environment and obstructed vision, it is currently difficult to accurately estimate its specific height, but it is at least one or two hundred meters from the ground.
Jing Ning frowned slightly and said, "There are too many forks in the road here." At this time, two more roads appeared behind the pile of stones.
"Let's go this way and take a look." Yan Shuang said, pointing to the road on the left.
Jing Ning glanced at Yan Shuang.
"Intuition," Yan Shuang said, "We've been walking in a straight line, but we haven't seen anything. Why not try a different route?"
"What the hell are you doing walking? We've been walking for at least an hour. Have you found anything? You still talk about looking for clues. I think you're just asking for trouble." The fat man's originally thick lips turned purple due to the extreme cold. Whenever he spoke, the breath he exhaled quickly condensed into white mist.
Jing Ning ignored him and said, "Keep going forward."
"I can't walk anymore. If you want to go, you guys go." After saying that, he found a stone and sat on it. He hissed because of the cold.
"The temperature here is only a few degrees. If you sit here without moving, your life may be in danger just from the temperature, not to mention the things you are exposed to." Lin Haichen supported Old Man Li and said, "I advise you to come with us."
The fat man was a person who valued his life. After thinking it over again and again, he finally followed the main group reluctantly.
The road on the left was completely different from the one I had walked before. It was no longer empty, but instead felt oppressive and cramped, as if the entire space had been compressed.
Tall people have to bend over when walking here.
"Ah! What are you doing?" After walking a few steps, Ye Qi suddenly yelled at her boyfriend.
Liu Hu, who was yelled at, looked puzzled and could not help but yell back irritably, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Why are you taking pictures of me? It's so scary!" Ye Qi stared at him.
"Who slapped you? Are you crazy? My hands have been in my pockets. Why would I take them out when it's so cold?" Liu Hu was not to be outdone and gasped.
It was obvious that Ye Qi didn't trust her boyfriend. "Do you think it's fun to tease me here? I've tolerated it even after taking a few photos."
"Oh, I really didn't..."
Yan Shuang and Jing Ning looked at each other.
Jing Ning turned the light to the side, and Yan Shuang looked in the direction of the light from the phone. He also understood why Ye Qi said that Liu Hu had been taking pictures of her.
Ye Qi's blue T-shirt was covered with watermarks left by dense palms, almost wetting her entire back.
