Chapter 709 He Is Unwilling
Huo Shaoting smiled bitterly. It would be good to have more blood. At least he felt that his hand was still there.
There were still traces of blood on the frozen soil and ice on the wall. The blood drops were frozen before they could slide to the bottom on the ice.
With his hand injured like this, Huo Shaoting didn't say anything, but had a weird smile on his face.
Long Jiuyan couldn't help but take another look at Huo Shaoting, and then gathered his strength again, preparing to carve out another piece of frozen soil.
"Master Jiu, be careful of getting hurt, let us do the rest."
One of Long Jiuyan's men saw the injury on Huo Shaoting's hand and was so frightened that he quickly stopped Long Jiuyan.
"Let go, you guys have been chiseling for so long, what have you found?"
All of Long Jiuyan's overwhelming anger was directed at his three subordinates.
The three men looked at the large piece of ice and frozen soil that Huo Shaoting had carved out, then looked at themselves, and immediately lowered their heads.
Automatically continue digging into the frozen soil in front of him.
Huo Shaoting has never been injured since he was a child, and his fingers are connected to his heart. Even when his body is frozen, the heartbreaking pain remains unabated.
He leaned against the cold wall and saw Bai Zhi huddled in the corner. He took a deep breath and stood up to continue digging.
As soon as the fingers on my hand touched the ice wall, their headaches almost exploded.
He endured it and picked it with his left hand.
The cold soil got into his fingernails, and he seemed to be unconscious. If he could pick them off a little, he would be more alive.
Long Jiuyan caught a glimpse of Huo Shaoting's movements from the corner of his eye, and his eyes flashed.
His movements became more desperate.
Seeing his desperate efforts, the three men also increased their strength.
With a bang, several men tried their best, and finally the hole the size of a basketball turned into a large round hole that could accommodate one person.
But the faces of several men immediately turned ugly.
After digging out a small hole as big as a football, everyone could see the whole thing behind the ice wall.
There is a rock behind, at least one meter deep, and the light shines in from the small hole in the rock.
Everyone was disheartened.
It feels like a marathon runner sprinting with all his strength at the finish line, only to suddenly realize that the finish line is fake. All their strength has been exhausted. In such a cold place, they cannot keep up with their physical strength and energy.
Huo Shaoting smiled bitterly, and then punched the rock hard.
The rock didn't move at all, and there were more scars on his already miserable hands, and the back of his hands was suddenly bloody.
Long Jiuyan frowned and had a sullen face. The more desperate he gets, the calmer he becomes.
Many years ago, he went through life and death, but he did not die in a hail of bullets. Today, he would never be trapped and die in a small place like this.
Especially since he was only a few meters away from the exit.
Just a little bit, he was unwilling to give in...
Long Jiuyan looked up at the surrounding walls. The thick ice layer was mixed with earth and rocks, just like natural concrete. They were exhausted from building a hole that could allow one person to go out, and they would never be able to dig out a second one.
What's more, even if they could bear it, Bai Zhi's body couldn't hold it.
Long Jiuyan's brows furrowed more and more tightly. "Keep digging, there are still five meters left. As long as we move the stone, we can get out."
His voice was loud. Huo Shaoting gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, "Chisel! We will definitely be able to get out!"
The three men supported each other and took turns dealing with the rock without saying a word.
A small vent creates a narrow tube effect, blowing in cold air mixed with snow foam.
Huo Shaoting was confused and quickly stood aside so as not to delay others.
Long Jiuyan's three men were shivering from the cold. This strong cold wind blew towards them, and one of them fell directly to the ground.
The people behind him filled in, but the frequency of his raising his hands became slower and slower, and even his breathing became fainter.
"Jiu... Master, I can't do it anymore."
As he spoke, he fell to the ground with a plop.
Long Jiuyan watched as two of his three men fell, the expression on his face unchanged. The ice cubes that carved the rock shattered into powder again before he took back his hand.
He squatted on the ground and reached out to pull off the clothes of the two people.
Huo Shaoting immediately understood his intention, "What are you going to do? They are your subordinates."
"I know that after I get out, I will bury them generously and give their families endless glory and wealth. Now these clothes will keep us warm."
Huo Shaoting suppressed the shock in his heart. This man was so terrible. He said such cruel words without even blinking.
Bai Zhi just returned the clothes to them because she was afraid of freezing to death. In this environment, clothes can keep warm, and clothes are equal to life. Long Jiuyan took off their clothes when they were unconscious, which was equal to killing them.
Huo Shaoting took another look at Bai Zhi, who was huddled in the corner and had fallen into a coma. "Stop, they are not dead yet. If you take their clothes after they are really dead, I won't say anything."
The only remaining subordinate immediately said: "Master Jiu, let me help you wake them up. This time we will dig a hole in this stone even if we die."
Long Jiuyan didn't speak, but he stopped touching the clothes of the two people.
The two men were called up, and when they saw that their down jackets were half removed, they immediately understood something.
Without saying a word, he worked hard to deal with the ice rock.
Master Jiu wants their lives, and they cannot resist. Waiting here to freeze to death is also death. If they can get out from here, they will have whatever they want in their future lives. They will fight for it.
Bai Zhi leaned against the cold wall, the blood flowing from the back of her brain brought out some warmth, and the warmth came out and stuck in her hair. She became even colder when she came into contact with the cold air.
She watched Long Jiuyan and Huo Shaoting busying themselves in a daze. Gradually, she could not see any light in front of her eyes. It seemed that something fell on her eyelids. As soon as she opened them, they fell down. After several times, her eyelids could no longer be lifted.
But her body suddenly became light. In a blink of an eye, she walked to a snowy plain.
Bai Zhi wondered why she was walking so smoothly when she was still unconscious.
"Mommy, please walk slowly. We are here to take you home!" Xiao Ke's voice suddenly came from behind, sounding a little anxious.
Bai Zhi turned around, and Xiao Ke and Xiao Ai ran towards her together.
"Mommy, are you cold? Let me warm your hands."
Xiao Ai ran over, and her chubby little hands seemed like a natural small heater. Bai Zhi held them in her hands, and the warm feeling spread throughout her body along her palms, and she felt warm all of a sudden.
Lu Juefeng stood beside Bai Zhi. He was wearing a black windbreaker and a red scarf around his neck.
I really don't understand why he still wears a windbreaker in such a cold weather, but he looks really good with a red scarf.
Bai Zhi saw colors other than black, white and gray on him for the first time, and couldn't help but take a second look.
The red scarf made his cold white skin more crystal clear, and because of this touch of bright color in his cold temperament, the whole person seemed to be a little gentler.
