Abyss of ignorance

Angelica began to cough violently. Under the dim light, her eyes were sunken and her lips were gray. She had inhaled too much volatile gas and was beginning to feel uncomfortable.The next person who started coughing was Lin Xiaodong. He had stayed in this place for a long enough time. Since he got sick, his health has become worse than before.

The light in the basement flickered, as if the voltage was unstable.

Immediately afterwards, they heard a "beep" sound. It was the light on the top that had not been used for a long time. It started to flash, showing signs of a short circuit.

"Not good!" Ye Miumi whispered.

Others also realized that once the power line is disconnected, the sparks will instantly cause an explosion.

"Angelica, where is the light switch?" Lu Yin asked in Spanish.

However, Angelica pointed in horror at the oil that was still rising and said, "It's already submerged..."

There is no solution at this time. Even if the switch is found, sparks may be generated when it is turned off.

"Lu Yin, take Angelica with you, Yue Jianfeng, take Lin Xiaodong with you and leave here." Ye Miemhi commanded calmly, "If there is wind ahead, there must be an exit. You guys go forward along the passage."

Her words seemed to have an irresistible magic power. Lu Yin and Yue Jianfeng spontaneously lifted up the two shaky people and entered the passage ahead one after another.

When Lin Xiaodong passed by her, he grabbed her arm: "What about you?"

"I'll take the back seat," Ye Mie said.

"I'm with you." Lin Xiaodong broke away from Yue Jianfeng and stood in front of Ye Miumi.

"Your current state will only drag me down." Ye Miumi said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and let's go."

"You are a scientist, and your life is much more useful than an ordinary person like me. If you tell me what you need to do, I can do it too." Lin Xiaodong looked directly at Ye Miushi, and he could finally predict Ye Miushi's actions. , she is not taking the back seat, she wants to stay.

"Human life is equally insignificant, there is no distinction between high and low." Ye Miumi suddenly pushed Lin Xiaodong towards Yue Jianfeng. Her strength was always much stronger than it looked, and this time the two tall men fell into the passage.

Before they could get up, they heard a harsh squeaking sound, and Ye Miemei disappeared together with the light in front of them.There was a heavy explosion-proof door in this passage, which was closed by Ye Shimi from the inside. Only the sound of the handle turning was heard, and she locked the door.

"Ye Mie! Open the door for me!" Lin Xiaodong banged the steel door hard and shouted.

"If I fail, tell Ah Xu not to do stupid things." Ye Miumi's voice came from inside.

Lin Xiaodong was dragged forward by Yue Jianfeng. Behind them, it was dark and silent, and there was no sound anymore.

As the door closed, the pungent smell gradually receded, and the wind blowing from the front became more and more obvious.

Lin Xiaodong gradually could walk without Yue Jianfeng's support.

The further he walked forward, the more worried he became, not because he was worried about not being able to find the exit, but because he was afraid that the silence behind him would be broken by that terrifying loud noise.

The steps became heavier and heavier, as if the cement in this passage had melted and wrapped around his feet.

Finally he stopped where he was.

"Captain Lin, if you can't walk, I'll carry you!" Yue Jianfeng said beside him.

"Jianfeng, you go first." Lin Xiaodong said, "I can't leave Ye Mi." After saying that, before Yue Jianfeng could stop him, he turned around and ran back.

He ran back, and behind him, Yue Jianfeng unexpectedly followed. "Jianfeng, what are you doing?"

"Captain Lin, you can't abandon Ye Miumi. Do you think I will abandon you?" Yue Jianfeng said.

In the darkness, they couldn't see each other's faces clearly. Lin Xiaodong did not continue to chase Yue Jianfeng back. The door had already been closed by Ye Mi. They didn't know what they could do to help when they went back.

However, none of them could bring themselves to escape from this place in peace.

Unknowingly, between living with guilt and dying with joy, the two chose the latter.

As time passed, they were getting closer and closer to the basement, but there was still no movement in front of them. For them, this silence was hope.

Lu Yin and Angelica fled forward with all their strength. Finally, a ray of light appeared in front of them. The entrance of the hole was not big. It seemed that it had just been dug. The entrance was full of fresh soil.

Lu Yin sent Angelica out of the cave and climbed out himself, but there was a wasteland around him.

The moonlight is like a wash, and the grass is growing all around, like another world.

He looked around, unable to wait for Lin Xiaodong and Yue Jianfeng to arrive, and could not hear the sound of explosion...

At this moment, Ye Mi was standing alone in the basement. The lights above his head were flickering more and more intensely, flickering on and off. The body of Shen Pan, who was sitting in the wheelchair, seemed to be resurrected and awakened at any time. It was very strange.

Ye Zhizhi didn't care about this. She looked at the other side of the passage. There was also an explosion-proof door there. After closing it, she had no way out. If there was no way to block the circuit in time, this basement would kill her and Shen. Hope it will explode into ashes.

Many years ago, in the snowy land, the scene when I faced death for the first time suddenly flashed back to me. At that time, I was scared and praying, but no one rescued me.

But at this moment, she is no longer so afraid of death. People will eventually disappear into the world and turn into dust. This is the Linzhou she sees every day when she stands in the office. The dust in this world makes people... Love is a mote of dust that makes people hate it.There was only reluctance in her heart, and she couldn't let go of Jiang Xu being left alone in this world, heading towards the end of life alone and hopelessly, just like Shen Pan beside her.

She stared at the dark passage and walked forward. There was not much time to hesitate. If it was not closed, the four people who had just escaped and everyone on the ground would return to dust with her. .

No one wants to die tragically like this.

"This is the world that daddy loves so much." She thought as her hand opened the heavy steel door.

Suddenly the whole place fell into darkness - the lights went out.

From far to near, she heard someone walking towards her direction on crutches not far from the passage.

The person on crutches was not Lin Zhengyang. She was familiar with Lao Yang's footsteps, so that was not the case.

With the sensitivity of an animal, she could hear the rhythm of this pace, so familiar and reassuring.

"It's okay, Xiaoxu." The voice came softly, and a groping hand touched her originally well-armed body. This was what she had expected to happen on the edge of the cliff, that he would suddenly appear and tell her everything. Everything is fine.

She held the outstretched hand tightly and threw herself into his arms, without even asking why he suddenly appeared here.

"It's all over, Xiaoxu." He put his chin on her head and said softly.

"This is really not a good place for a reunion!" Ye Miumi said with tears of joy. (End of chapter)
