Chapter 75: Cave Monster "Run!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of cries for help in the empty underground cave. Every cry was accompanied by an echo, which made people feel creepy.
Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao looked in the direction of the sound, but the searchlight's range was limited, and there were many stalactites blocking their view. They could only hear the sound but could not see anyone.
Gu Rong turned his little head. This small helmet could see a small ant 1,000 meters away, and quickly and accurately scanned the man calling for help.
Gu Rong pointed in the man's direction and said, "There's an uncle stuck in that crevice."
Following the direction of Gu Rong's finger, Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao looked carefully for a while and finally saw a strange man stuck in a crevice.
Not one of the sixteen people who went down the cave together.
After hesitating for a moment, the two men walked over holding Gu Rong.
When we got closer, we found that the man's head and legs were outside, but the middle of his body was stuck in the crevice of the rock, so tightly that he couldn't get free.
The man looked to be in his thirties and was still wearing a helmet, but the searchlight was out, apparently out of battery.
Hearing the footsteps, the man immediately burst into tears of joy: "Save me, please save me, it's so great to see you, I thought I would die here and never get out..."
He didn't know how long he had been in the darkness, and he was no longer used to the light. The light from the searchlights above Zhuang Yu and the other two made him close his eyes uncontrollably.
The man seemed to have grasped at a lifeline, his eyes tightly closed as he spoke anxiously, "I'm from Gujia Village. When I was about to exit the tunnel, it unfortunately shifted and I got stuck here. I don't know how long I was stuck. I thought I was going to die here... I waited for a long, long time, but no one showed up. Finally, someone came..."
The man sobbed as he spoke. The despair and loneliness of near death made it impossible for him to control himself.
Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao looked at each other and did not speak for a while.
The man looked normal. There was no tumor on his head. Although his face was covered in dirt and his mouth was dry and cracked due to lack of water, he was still a living person.
From the outside, this is still a healthy person, without any abnormalities.
Hearing no answer, the man struggled slightly. He had been stuck for too long, and the movement was very small, as if he had no strength left. "Why are you not talking? Please pull me out, I really am a villager from Gujia Village!"
At this time, Zhuang Yu said, "How long have you been stuck here?"
Hearing the voice, the man was overjoyed. "It's been a long, long time. I don't know how long. It's pitch black here. My searchlight quickly ran out of battery. I've been stuck in the darkness, unable to see anything, and unable to feel the passage of time. I think... it's been several days. If I don't meet you again, I might really die."
Gu Rong interrupted, "Then why do we bring this uncle out?"
Hearing this baby voice, the man was startled. Gu Rong had said something before, but the distance was too far for the man to hear clearly. Hearing Gu Rong's voice, the man was stunned for a long time, and said excitedly: "Little fool? No, no, no, Rongrong, it's Rongrong, you are Rongrong from Gu Laohan's family! Look, I know you, I am really a villager of Gujia Village!"
According to the setting, Gu Rong did not speak in Gujia Village before, but Gu Rong was the only child in Gujia Village. When you hear the child's voice, it must be Gu Rong.
Seeing that the man actually recognized Gu Rong, Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao were surprised but relieved.
It seems that what this man said is true.
Shen Han smiled and said, "Your sticking is a bit tight, let's try pouring some lubricant to see if we can pull you out."
The man kept saying, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will definitely repay you when I get out of here!"
Shen Hanxiao bought a bottle of lubricant from the system mall and poured it all into the crevice.
The two men put Gu Rong on a flat stone nearby. When it was almost lubricated, they worked together to grab the man's legs and pulled them back hard.
I didn't expect that it would be so easy to pull and very smooth.
However, halfway through pulling, the two were completely stunned and immediately dropped the legs they were holding.
I saw that half of the legs were originally stuck in the crevice of the rock. After pulling, the legs were pulled out, but - only the legs were pulled out.
As soon as Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao let go, the two legs fell directly to the ground.
But the man was still stuck in the crevice.
His lower body was missing legs, but something else was growing from it. A large insect, replacing his legs, pressed against the man's waist.
Only half of the worm was left, and the other half was deeply embedded in the man's waist. It had grown as thick as the man's waist, and began to wriggle wildly as soon as it came into contact with the air.
Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao's faces turned completely pale, their stomachs churning, and they stepped back repeatedly, looking at the scene in disbelief.
This person has already become a parasite of the worm.
A bug this thick couldn't have been stuck here for just a few days. It could have been trapped for months, or even years...
Gu Rong stood on the stone, pointing with his little finger, surprised: "Beauty bug!"
Zhuang Yu: “…”
Shen Hanxiao: "..."
006: [……]
Live broadcast room: [……]
What I mean is that this description is quite vivid, but if the fish in "mermaid" is replaced by a worm, it will have nothing to do with beauty.
But why not blur out the baby in this picture? It's a Schrödinger's mosaic!
The man didn't know what was happening. His legs had long lost all feeling. He couldn't feel that his legs were gone, nor could he sense the presence of the insects.
Seeing that they stopped pulling him, he asked curiously, "Why don't you continue to pull me? I'm almost out, very soon, just a little bit more."
The insect's tail pupa moved even more happily.
After waiting for a long time, the man still didn't see anyone come to pull him up. At this time, his lower body had turned into a worm tail, with a thick waist but a very pointed tail.
This time, he didn't need anyone to pull him. He struggled twice and slid out of the crevice by himself and fell to the ground.
He couldn't stand up or walk, so he could only crawl on the ground, groping his way, and finally touched the two broken legs with his hands.
The man had been keeping his eyes closed, but now he tried to open them a little. He saw the legs in front of him, and after a moment's pause, he felt that the clothes on the legs looked very familiar. Then, he turned around and looked at his lower body...
Seeing the fresh, wriggling insect tail, the man screamed and realized that he had touched his own leg.
"Ahhh, my legs, my legs..."
At this moment, Jones, who had a forked head, crawled out of a tunnel. When he saw Gu Rong, he immediately rushed over with a grim smile.
“Run!”
Zhuang Yu picked up Gu Rong and ran towards another corridor entrance.
Shen Hanxiao followed closely behind.
The cave here is relatively large and has many stalactites. Shen Hanxiao didn't know what props he used, but he directly pushed down a large number of stalactites, blocking Jones in front of him and blocking his way.
Several of the cone-shaped stalactites pierced directly into Jones's back, pinning him to the ground.
Jones was pinned down, and he looked like a madman, waving his hands forward continuously, trying to break free. The worm on his head grew longer, now two meters long, and kept wriggling forward.
Shen Hanxiao only looked back once, and got goose bumps all over his body.
After crawling into the corridor, several people could still hear the man sobbing while holding his broken legs.
*
After climbing to the next cave and escaping successfully, the two people and the child were very tired. They leaned against a big rock and breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
Gu Rong stretched out her legs, sat between the two of them, and said in a baby voice, "I'm tired."
Zhuang Yu touched Gu Rong's small helmet, and Chen Hanxiao also touched Gu Rong's small helmet.
Gu Rong also patted the little helmet with his little hands.
After a long rest, the group didn't want to move. Ever since they came down from the cave, they had been crawling around, either being chased by monsters or Jones. This dungeon was like a physical test.
Gu Rong yawned slightly and couldn't help feeling sleepy.
Zhuang Yuchen smiled and decided not to run away for the time being, but to rest on the spot, at least to let Gu Rong get some sleep, after all, the child was at the stage of growing up.
Gu Rong leaned between the two of them and fell asleep in less than ten seconds. It was obvious that he was very tired.
The protective clothing automatically turned on the warming mode, and Gu Rong didn't feel cold at all.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Gu Rong found himself sleeping on a small air mattress, with Xiaoshan lying unconscious on the ground next to him.
"?"
Gu Rong blinked, sat up from the air cushion, stretched, and yawned. Zhuang Yuchen sat on the stone next to him with a smile.
"Rongrong is awake."
They both looked over.
Gu Rong pointed at the extra hill with her little finger: "Huh? Why is Brother Xiaoshan here?"
Xiaoshan lay flat on the ground, his eyes closed. He appeared unconscious, though he had no visible injuries. The air mattress, a small children's one Zhuang Yu had purchased from the system store, was only large enough for Gu Rong and couldn't accommodate Xiaoshan.
Shen Hanxiao said: "Of course you found it when you were asleep."
In fact, he didn't pick it up on purpose. Not long after Gu Rong fell asleep, Xiaoshan suddenly fell out of a moving corridor. He was already unconscious when he fell out, and there has been no sign of waking up until now.
After checking, the two found that Xiaoshan was not injured, but just fainted, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
I have to say, Xiaoshan is very lucky.
But Xiaoshan is unconscious now. Not only can we not hit him, but we can't just leave him alone now.
Zhuang Yu asked, "Rongrong, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?"
After Gu Rong eats, if Xiaoshan is still not awake, they can only buy an isolation prop and place Xiaoshan here first. They still have a mission to complete.
Gu Rong immediately nodded his head; his stomach had been growling with hunger for a long time.
The two bought a children's nutrition meal for Gu Rong and each bought a box lunch.
Shen Han smiled and said, “I don’t know where Boss Lin has gone. It’s no use crawling around here all the time. So far, I haven’t got any clues.”
"If we can find the heart of the god just by crawling around like this, then we're relying on luck. Every year, people from Gujia Village go down to the cave and never get lucky. It's impossible for us to find it on our first trip into the cave."
Zhuang Yu said, "That's right. We are just running around aimlessly now. It all depends on luck."
The two were talking, and after a while, they looked back and their eyelids twitched.
I saw that Gu Rong had finished his meal and was squatting in front of the sleeping Xiaoshan, tilting his little head to look at Xiaoshan's face.
He first squatted to the left and looked around, then stood up, ran to the right, and then squatted down and looked around with his little head tilted.
After looking at it for a moment, he ran back to the left to look.
Repeat the above steps repeatedly.
Zhuang Yu: “…”
Shen Hanxiao: ...
Is Rongrong... possessed by evil spirits?
Gu Rong tilted his little head, looked left and right, up and down, his little face confused, not knowing what to see from Xiaoshan's face.
Zhuang Yu asked, "Rongrong, why are you staring at Xiaoshan?"
Gu Rong didn't quite understand and asked curiously, "Brother Xiaoshan looks like Brother Dashan. How come he looks the same as Brother Dashan?"
Brother Dashan? Where did Brother Dashan come from?
Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao were both stunned. Shen Hanxiao chuckled and said, "Who is Brother Dashan? Xiaoshan's brother? It's not normal that they look alike."
Gu Rong stood up, raised her snow-white face to look at the two of them, shook her head seriously, and said, "It's not Xiaoshan's brother, it's Dashan's brother, the Dashan brother who is lying down."
The two of them still didn't react, just smiled. Then, after two seconds, their smiles froze, and the blood in their bodies instantly froze.
Brother Dashan, Brother Dashan lying down?
The lying mountain!
Kamizukayama!
Shenzhong Mountain looks like the silhouette of a young man lying flat on his back, with only the outline of his face but no facial features. People generally do not recognize people by their facial outline.
But the little cub Gu Rong's focus has always been off. At this time, Xiaoshan was sleeping and lying down. Gu Rong kept changing the angle to look at Xiaoshan, and found that the silhouette of Xiaoshan lying flat was the same as the silhouette of Shenzhong Mountain!
The hill looks the same as Shenzu Mountain? Is this a coincidence or...
Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao felt a chill in their hearts and did not dare to think too much about it.
The two of them also looked at the sleeping hill together, and after careful comparison, they were shocked. It was similar, so similar, it was exactly the same.
But before they could think about it, a cold shout came from behind them: "Run!"
When they turned around, they saw Lin Xuezhuo crawling out of the corridor. However, before he could crawl out, the corridor suddenly moved and disappeared, and Lin Xuezhuo also disappeared from their sight.
Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao were both shocked. Without thinking too much, they immediately wanted to pick up Gu Rong and run away. But when they turned around, they found that Xiaoshan, who had been unconscious, had woken up at some point.
At this moment, he was standing behind them, looking at them expressionlessly.
