Xu Xin continued running at full speed, panting and asking, "...Aren't you... tired?"
"Not tired."
"Not tired, we're stone statues, how could we be tired?" Chang Yin replied. He certainly looked at ease, but his expression was also solemn, with his stone brows furrowed. "But we're already running at full speed, so we can only go this fast."
Xu Xin gritted his teeth and chose to trust the stone statue that brought him out: "Can you help me hold my backpack? Carrying it is really draining my energy!"
The backpack is full of supplies, and even if the weight is reduced to 10%, it is still a heavy load.
"Hmm? Oh, okay." Chang Yin took the backpack handed to him by Xu Xin and put it on his back without even looking at what was inside.
"Let me get one for you too." Xue Lan's voice came, even when she was running at full speed, her voice was still so soft.
Xu Xin gritted his teeth. The weight of the backpack really affected his speed. He couldn't create any distance between himself and the water level behind him. Even if Xue Lan didn't return it to him after he got out, there was nothing he could do.
"good!"
Without the two backpacks, he suddenly felt much lighter. After carrying heavy loads for so long, Xu Xin felt his body lighten up. He took a deep breath and quickened his pace, keeping pace with Chang Yin and the others.
At the beginning, the water surface behind them was still some distance away, but as they climbed, the width of the passage became narrower and narrower, and the water level rose faster and faster. They could even hear the sound of a group of loaches wriggling on the water surface behind them.
"I see the exit!" A ray of light suddenly appeared in front of Xu Xin. He shouted and quickened his pace as if it was the final sprint.
The cheetah running ahead no longer maintained the same pace as Xu Xin and the others. With a howl, it instantly burst into speed and rushed upwards. It had probably not seen the light for a long time.
Even the Changyin family around Xu Xin became excited: "Light, it's sunshine! Oh my God! I see the sunshine again!"
It is already daytime of the next day, so there is naturally sunshine outside.
"Don't worry about it for now, run faster, the water behind is coming up!" Xu Xin quickened his pace again. He felt like his lungs were about to explode. This feeling was much more uncomfortable than the final sprint of the 1,000-meter run.
The original light spot became bigger and bigger, and Xu Xin could already see the clouds outside.
The cheetah was incredibly fast and had already disappeared into the passage with Coco.
The water level behind them was only two or three meters away from them. Xu Xin took three steps at a time and ran up madly.
"We're out!" Several people crawled out of the underground cave and saw the scenery outside. Before they could be happy, Xu Xin's face suddenly changed.
This is a dried-up lake pit! They are now in the center of the lake, and the lakeshore is at least four or five meters high!
"Hurry! Hurry up! Otherwise this place will be filled with water!"
The Changyin family's excitement at the sight of the jungle outside was beyond words. Feeling somewhat lost, they chose to follow Xu Xin's instructions: "Okay! Where are we going?"
Xu Xin quickly looked around.
"Hmm!" Keke's voice came from the distance. Xu Xin looked in that direction. Keke was watching them anxiously from the shore. And that was where the slope was the gentlest, so they could just run up.
Water was already gushing out of the exit, and countless mutated loaches were twisting and rushing towards the five people.
"Go over there!" Xu Xin rushed directly towards Coco, and Changyin's family followed immediately.
The gushing water had already covered the soles of their shoes. Finally, when the group of loaches were about to bite Xu Xin's heels, they finally rushed to the edge of the slope, kicked upwards hard, and escaped from danger.
Although they had not yet climbed onto the lakeshore, the lake pit was very large and the water level was rising very slowly, so it no longer posed a threat to them.
After climbing a few steps to the edge of the lake, Xu Xin was gasping for breath, while Chang Yin and others stood beside Xu Xin, staring blankly at everything around them.
The cheetah had disappeared. Xu Xin opened the map and found that the light spots representing the cheetah were moving rapidly around, as if it was reliving the feeling of running on the grassland.
Finally, Xu Xin laughed out loud and fell to the ground.
It’s finally out!
