While everyone else was trying to climb the hill, Lin Chuchu walked over to Chen Long and touched his forehead; it was indeed very hot.
Chen Long smiled at Lin Chuchu and said, "Don't worry, Comrade Lin, I can hold on."
"I'm so sorry. I came here to take care of you, but I ended up getting sick myself. I'm so useless."
Lin Chuchu glanced at him slowly without saying a word, but her heart was filled with anxiety.
Chen Long came because of me, so I can't let anything happen to him.
Lin Chuchu glanced anxiously at the sky. Why hadn't the troops arrived yet?
Normally, the person sent out would definitely be a special forces soldier, or maybe a captain they know.
But we still haven't found them; maybe something happened to them.
She has cold medicine in her online space, but she doesn't dare to take it out. How would she explain it if she did?
Unable to climb the wall beside them and having wasted their energy, the three kidnappers decided to continue forward.
Maybe there will be a good place to step ahead?
Liu Er shoved Chen Long, "You continue to scout ahead, don't try anything funny. Even if one of us gets injured, we can easily kill you."
Chen Long had been walking for so long, and with a fever, he was very weak. He stumbled when someone pushed him.
Lin Chuchu quickly stepped forward and helped him up. "I was scouting the way with him. He has a fever and is sick."
Before they could stop her, Lin Chuchu helped him walk forward.
"Comrade Lin, you don't need to help me, I can walk by myself."
He was panting, but still had a smile on his face, like a lively and cheerful young man.
Lin Chuchu rolled her eyes at him. "Don't talk, save your energy."
If he drags the three kidnappers down with him, Chen Long will be the first to be abandoned.
After all, Lin Chuchu was still useful to them.
They all walked very slowly, no one urged them on; it was too hot, and Lin Chuchu felt like she was about to get heatstroke.
In addition, she also had to support someone, which greatly depleted her physical strength.
She didn't say anything, but gritted her teeth and persevered, carefully watching her step, afraid of falling to the ground and not being able to get up.
As she walked, Lin Chuchu noticed something was wrong; it felt like her feet had turned into sand, and she would sink a little deeper with every step she took.
It eventually reached almost halfway down to my calf.
Lin Chuchu suddenly stopped, and Chen Long beside her also stopped.
She stared nervously at her feet and, sure enough, saw them slowly sinking down.
Lin Chuchu's heart tightened. "Oh no, it's quicksand! Back off, back off quickly!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Chen Long, who was standing next to her, and started to run backward.
However, it was fine when I wasn't running, but the faster I ran, the faster I sank into the ground.
Chen Long shoved her, "Comrade Lin, you run quickly, don't worry about me."
The quicksand is sinking faster and faster, especially for overweight people like Liu Er, who have now sunk up to their chests.
The other two were in no better shape, desperately trying to save themselves or the other.
Lin Chuchu had never felt so panicked before, and Chen Long was still shouting for her to run.
Lin Chuchu felt nothing but despair.
Escape? How could she escape? Could she even get away?
As Lin Chuchu was completely submerged, her heart was filled with despair and resentment. She never expected to die like this, and no one would even know she was dead. She feared that her body would remain undiscovered and she would eventually become a dried-up corpse in the quicksand. She only hoped that her child would be alright.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Chuchu groggily opened her eyes. It was dark around her, but not the kind of darkness where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
You can still vaguely see the outline of the surroundings.
Where is this?
Lin Chuchu was in a daze when she suddenly felt something fall down her neck. She touched it and found it was full of sand.
Lin Chuchu looked up abruptly and saw some sand falling from above, forming a sand pile on the ground.
So she survived the fall without dying or getting injured?
Before Lin Chuchu could even feel happy, she heard a series of groans coming from not far away.
Her lips twitched slightly; she was truly a persistent ghost.
Suddenly remembering Chen Long, she quickly stood up and looked around.
"Chen Long, Chen Long, where are you?"
The kidnapper leader cursed irritably, "What are you yelling for? Trying to summon his soul? He's not dead, he's right next to me, he's just passed out."
Hearing that Chen Long was alright, Lin Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief and groped her way toward the group.
All three kidnappers were alright, except the third one, who was unconscious and whose leg injury seemed to be more serious.
Lin Chuchu patted Chen Long's face, and seeing that he didn't wake up, she ignored him and looked at the entire underground cave.
The underground cave looks very large, half of which is buried in the sand. Some parts are naturally formed, but others seem to be man-made.
"Boss, look! There are so many patterns here, it looks like someone used to live here... wait..."
Liu Er suddenly realized something and shouted excitedly, "This is a tomb, a place with treasure! Haha, boss, we're rich! We're rich!"
Lin Chuchu's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but look in the direction where Liu Er was.
Although it's not completely clear, you can definitely make out the shape of the stone gate.
Could it really be a tomb?
What should she do? She couldn't let them take the artifacts away.
The cultural relics belong to the country; we cannot allow these people to send them across the border.
Lin Chuchu was anxious, her mind racing with calculations.
Just then, the eldest brother exclaimed, "It really is a stone gate! Haha, there must be tons of burial goods inside!"
"As long as we sell the burial goods overseas, there are plenty of people who like them, haha, then we'll be rich."
The two were caught up in their excitement and completely failed to notice the murderous intent in Lin Chuchu's eyes.
