Chapter 170 The Last Survivor

Under the soil layer, in the passageway of the tomb.

Half of the four workers who fell died in the blink of an eye.

The way the two died was also extremely strange.

One of them was frozen to death by the extreme cold, while the other was reduced to ashes under the flames.

Although the ways of death are not the same, there are also very similar places.

I don't know if it's luck or misfortune.

The death process of these two unlucky ones was very short, no more than three seconds before and after, which can be regarded as a relatively happy one.

In other words, apart from having to bear the fear of death that would definitely arise before dying, neither of these two people suffered much before their official death.

For the deceased, it is undoubtedly a kind of "kindness".

However, for the bystanders who witnessed the whole process, that is, Brother Zhang and Lao Liu, it was a completely different situation.

That's right, Xiaojie and Xiaolu died more happily.

But this also brought about a problem, that is: whether it is Brother Zhang or Lao Liu, at this time, there is a deep sense of powerlessness in my heart.

As members of a professional construction team under an official archaeological team, Brother Zhang and Lao Liu have heard some rather nonsensical rumors after they entered the industry.

For example, the archaeological team from the neighboring province discovered a legendary thousand-year-old zombie in a certain ancient tomb, and many staff members were injured on the spot.

Later, someone invited an expert to come, and the latter only used a few black donkey hooves to take down his uniform, ensuring the smooth excavation of the ancient tomb.

Meow meow, that's a zombie!

Another example, when another archaeological team in this province excavated the tomb of a modern rich family a few years ago, they found that the coffin contained a living bride in red.

Nothing happened at that time, but after the excavation work was completed, all the staff involved in the excavation had weird nightmares at night, and some people even died the next day because their hearts could not bear such a strong stimulus.

Hehe, how dare you believe such a thing?

there is

All in all, many professions have their own taboos and gossip about them, especially theirs.

However, in any case, this world is scientific and materialistic after all.

So they are very clear in their hearts.

The above mentioned are nothing but legends.

When it's okay, it's okay to listen to the story to amuse your boredom, but if it's true, you lose.

Unexpectedly, this time the two of them finally encountered a strange situation.

It's terrible, it's really terrible!

Xiaojie and Xiaolu died too suddenly, and at the same time died too quickly.

Needless to say, the deaths of these two people must be directly related to the little bugs flying around in the passage of the tomb at this time.

The problem is, these little bugs are not only numerous, but also fly very fast, which makes people feel hard to guard against.

Basically, as long as you are targeted, the result is death.

The encounter between Xiaojie and Xiaolu is a good proof of this point.

To be honest, they would rather face a thousand-year-old zombie (if such a thing really exists) than face these little bugs.

The reason for saying this is because when facing the former, they may be able to escape, or they may be able to face it head-on.

Whether it can be said just now, at least I can still struggle.

As for the latter.

Meow meow, what kind of escape is this? Is this just a fart?

People fly with wings, they run with two legs, so don't even think about running away.

There is no comparison between the two sides in terms of speed.

In addition to running away, it is not realistic to be tough.

You can fight well, but let me tell you another thing, if someone touches you casually, you will either be turned into ice crystals or burned to ashes.

And the process is short and outrageous.

In this way, don't think about positive and tough things, because doing so is no different from suicide.

so.

"Old Liu, stop now, stay still, don't move!"

Saw a fire ladybug flying close.

Lao Zhang, who was lying on the gap at the top of the passageway in the tomb, quickly stopped his climbing up, and at the same time he did not forget to remind his companions in a low voice.

You can't escape, you can't escape, you can't just go hard.

Faced with such a situation, the only thing they can do now is to try to be as harmless as possible to avoid angering these scary little guys.

If they are lucky, the two of them may be able to escape a catastrophe.

if bad luck

Fine! If you really want to reach this point, you will die if you die.

Anyway, judging from the death process of Xiaojie and Xiaolu just now, it shouldn't be too painful to be killed by these little glowing bugs.

The most important thing is that there is no need to even collect the corpse and do the funeral.

In this way, it can save a lot of trouble for the organization and my family. Presumably my wife and children can get more compensation for this!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ge felt an inexplicable relief in his heart.

So... so he just lay flat.

Love it so much!

Everything is determined by God, if you can live, you can pick it up, if you die, don't blame others, who made him choose this line of work?

I have to say that Brother Zhang has a lot of thoughts, and at this time, he can still think of these, with such a mentality.

Similarly, his mentality is quite admirable.

Faced with such a bad situation, he can still have such thoughts and judgments, so he can be regarded as a talent after all, right? !

In modern society, one wants to understand a person clearly.

Many times it is not an easy task.

On weekdays, everyone wears an invisible mask, which looks similar to others.

But at the time of crisis, the gap between people will come out.

Facing the constant approach of the fire ladybug.

Zhang Ge analyzed the situation rationally, and made the best response he could do, and at the same time, he did not forget to remind his companions.

On the other side, Lao Liu's reaction was completely different from his.

Old Liu heard Brother Zhang's reminder verbatim, but what he did next was completely opposite to Brother Zhang.

There is a saying that says:

When facing a beast, what you need to do is not to run faster than the beast, but to run faster than your companions.

As a very realistic and sensible worker, Lao Liu has always taken such a statement seriously.

specific immediate situation.

From Lao Liu's point of view, those little flying bugs will definitely attack him and Brother Zhang next, just like what they did to Xiaojie and Xiaolu before.

In this case, the best option is undoubtedly:

Let Brother Zhang stay to cover the bag for himself, to attract the attention of those little bugs, and then he figured out a way to take advantage of this opportunity to escape.

So... stay still and don't move?

Ha ha, how is this possible!

Fuck stay still, f**k don't move.

Whoever wants to do this can do it, and it is simply impossible for him to do the same.

But it's good if the other party has such an idea.

Since the other party does not intend to escape, let it play some role before the temporary.

Thinking of this, Lao Liu, who was also lying on the gap in the soil layer, turned his head and smiled at Brother Zhang.

And show the other party a "don't worry, I know how to do it" expression.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly stretched out his right leg and kicked Brother Zhang's waist fiercely.

The latter did not expect his companion to do so.

Caught off guard, Brother Zhang kicked the opponent hard on the waist, then let go of his hands, and fell from a height towards the bottom of the corridor.

"Plop!"

"clang~"

His body smashed heavily on a pile of earth and rocks.

The inertia of the fall caused him to roll a little distance to one side, and in the process he encountered the tool he dropped earlier, causing quite a commotion.

"you"

After the body stopped, brother Zhang felt great anger instantly.

He is no fool.

Why Lao Liu did this, he can guess without asking.

Subconsciously, he wanted to yell at the other party, or pick up something and throw it at the other party to retaliate for what the other party had done.

But reason is telling him that he must not do such a stupid thing.

At least not yet.

After barely practicing this breath, Brother Zhang curled up his body, then closed his eyes, pretending to be a dead person on the spot.

Although I don't know if so much is effective, judging from the current situation, this seems to be the only thing he can do now.

The environment in the passage of the tomb is very quiet.

In the blink of an eye, Brother Zhang heard a "buzzing" sound coming from his ear.

No need to ask, it must be those scary little bugs who flew over to check the situation after hearing the movement.

Brother Zhang barely controlled the fear in his heart.

At the same time, his eyes were tightly closed, and his body lay motionless on the ground.

at the very beginning.

There were only five fire ladybugs that appeared in the passageway of the tomb.

One of them, Wuliang Karma, and the other Qiongnai Shenbing attacked Xiaojie and Xiaolu successively, and died together with each other.

But after such a delay, more than a dozen fire ladybugs crawled out along the small hole in the "stone" and joined the team of the three fire ladybugs outside.

Brother Zhang and Lao Liu are making a fuss here.

These fire ladybugs all flew around Brother Zhang, but they did not attack directly, but hovered above Brother Zhang.

After a few seconds, they lost interest in this "immobile" creature, and turned their attention to Old Liu above.

Speaking of which, there was one thing that Brother Zhang really did right.

It has been said before that the fire ladybug is a rather neurotic creature.

But to some extent, they are not very malicious to other creatures.

In this point alone, there is an essential difference between the fire ladybug and the corpse beetle.

The reason for this is that their attributes are too special. Whether it is Wuliang Karma or Qiong Nai Shenbing, they don't need to rely on hunting to absorb energy.

Few people know, however, that one of the things fire ladybugs hate most is when other creatures look at them.

Whenever a creature does this, they become very violent.

And in this case, they can easily attack each other.

Brother Zhang was kicked down from a high place by Lao Liu. By accident, he closed his eyes and lay down on the ground, pretending to be dead.

This also caused the fire ladybugs around him to quickly lose interest.

On the contrary, Lao Liu was desperately crawling outside at this time.

So a dozen fire ladybugs quickly flew towards Old Liu.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's almost there"

Faced with the threat of death, Lao Liu burst out with a strong desire to survive, and climbed towards the ground with all his strength, and he was about to escape and ascend to heaven.

At this moment, he spotted several spots of light from the corner of his eye.

Before he could react.

These spots of light immediately surrounded him with a "hula".

"No, why did they appear again? Could it be that Xiao Zhang has already GG?"

Seeing this scene, Lao Liu's expression changed on the spot, and then he subconsciously looked down.

Soon, he saw Brother Zhang curled up in the corridor.

The latter is all right, neither turned into ice nor burned to ashes.

In addition, one thing is certain, that is: Brother Zhang not only seems to be fine, but in fact he is fine.

In short, Brother Zhang is still alive.

Old Liu: "???"

After realizing this, Lao Liu's mood was extremely complicated.

After a moment of silence, he subconsciously turned his head and looked at the fire ladybug not far from him.

However, if you don't look at it, that's all.

Take a look at this now.

The fire ladybugs who were eye to eye with him suddenly became a little agitated.

This point can be seen from the fact that they have accelerated their flying and circling speed.

Thankfully these fire ladybugs can't talk.

Otherwise, maybe there will be another sentence: What are you looking at?

Old Liu: "."

Seeing the fire ladybugs around him flying like crazy one by one, Lao Liu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

In his impression, not long ago, the fire ladybug seemed to have a similar reaction a few seconds before launching an attack on Xiaojie and Xiaolu.

In other words, now he seems to have been targeted by the other party.

Meow meow!

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out!

These scary little bugs must be mentally ill, right? !

Even if you plan to hunt, you should take the guy below as your target. Why hang around him if you have nothing to do?

"call!"

Just when Old Liu was thinking wildly, a poor ladybug flew in front of him, as if he wanted to get a closer look.

The little guy's reaction scared Old Liu quite a bit.

Fortunately, the fire ladybug still didn't attack this time, it just stared at Lao Liu with its big compound eyes.

At the beginning, old Liu Quxiang was too tense to move.

However, when he found that the other party did not continue to approach, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"What are you looking at, have you never seen a human being? If you want to see it, go to Xiao Zhang below."

On the surface, Lao Liu forcibly controlled his body, not daring to make any moves that might cause misunderstandings.

But he kept slandering secretly in his heart.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as the eyes of the two sides met, the fire ladybug became even more irritable.

It first paused slightly in mid-air, and then slammed into his head without saying a word.

"not good."

At this time, it would be impossible for Lao Liu not to react.

At this moment, he has two choices.

Either, just continue to climb up regardless, or try to find a way to fight the scary little bug in front of him.

Time was running out, so Lao Liu directly chose the second method.

He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, raised his hand, and threw the mobile phone at the flying fire ladybug.

After letting go of the phone, he didn't even look at the result, but turned around and continued to climb towards the ground above.

On this point, Lao Liu's mind is still very clear.

He knew that there was only one result of what he did, and that was to irritate all the fire ladybugs around him.

Even if you miss the target, the result will be the same

On the contrary, now he is not far from the ground above, as long as he is given another 30 seconds, he will definitely be able to escape and ascend to heaven.

In other words, now he is fighting the fire ladybug for time.

Specifically, it depends on who is fast and who is slow!

If he is fast and climbs out of here first, then he can survive, otherwise, there is nothing to say.

"buzzing"

Facts have proved that it is a bit overthinking to compare the speed with the fire ladybug.

The Qiong Nai Shenbing that was attacked by Lao Liu not only easily dodged the flying mobile phone, but also quickly launched a counterattack.

The tool of counterattack is its own body.

In a blink of an eye, it landed on Lao Liu's back, passed through the latter's clothes very strangely, and got into the opponent's flesh.

The next thing doesn't need much.

So a bone-chilling chill erupted in his body, and Lao Liu's body froze there directly, and the strength in his hands disappeared instantly.

After a while, his body fell from a height.

And coincidentally, it happened to hit brother Zhang's side.

As soon as his body came into contact with the ground, it immediately began to collapse, and then turned into countless pieces of ice, Old Liu—pawn!

"Huh! It's so cold!"

In the corridor of the tomb.

Brother Zhang curled up, trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.

But soon, he felt a little unable to maintain this posture.

Part of the ice dust that exploded after Lao Liu's death fell on him. The extreme cold made him want to leave here quickly.

Fortunately, in the end he held back.

As time passed, the fire ladybugs flying around seemed to be tired of this way of playing, and quickly retreated to the depths of the corridor.

There are more of their kind out there.

Now that the curiosity has been satisfied, when not to leave now?

A quarter of an hour later, Brother Zhang slowly opened his eyes.

Looking around, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "Damn! I survived!"
