Chapter 405: Mutation - Loneliness 14
She had to climb fifteen flights of stairs before she could reach the brightly lit platform again.
Anjiu exhaled silently, and the slight wrinkle between her brows vaguely reappeared. To be honest, walking in this dark, empty stairwell, she could only hear her own footsteps and heartbeat, and she felt a little depressed.
She glanced at the space and Pu Huai was not there.
Maybe he is trying to find a way to sneak into the high-level mining area.
She looked at the puppet again. The puppet was drowsy beside the smokeless stove. She could vaguely hear the voices of her grandmother and old sisters talking and laughing.
Anjiu distracted his thoughts, not wanting to be dragged into the vortex of negative emotions.
She walked through the dark corridor, looking at the candles on both sides that were about to burn out, and thought that when she came back, they would all be out, and she would then have to grope in the dark to find the patriarch's house.
It would be better to carry a candle with you.
Anjiu returned to the patriarch's room, took out a cigarette from the drawer and put it in his pocket. After going out, he walked forward according to his memory, found the location of the secret door, pushed the door open and walked in.
Returning to the bright environment again, her mood was completely different from before.
She could now more or less sense why the clan leader was emanating from an aura of loneliness.
Anjiu walked on the uneven ground on the platform. This time she didn't have to care about the sound because it was very wide and connected to the vast blue sky.
Sitting on the edge, looking down to see those going out from below.
Only two people successfully found the exit, and no one else was seen.
As for the three people I saw earlier...
Anjiu first observed the nearby waters, looking for their bodies - she didn't think the oxygen in her lungs could keep them out of the water.
The human eye is automatically attracted to moving objects, and she quickly found the three people underwater.
They are still alive.
And you can walk underwater just like you walk on land.
This is a bit strange.
Anjiu squinted his eyes, trying to see if they were spitting out oxygen bubbles, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't see clearly.
She could only focus on the two people below.
They are good at swimming and their treading water movements are very standard. They must have expended too much energy, as their limbs show a sense of fatigue.
They looked at the distant water with a look of despair on their faces.
There was a strong desire to breathe in their lungs, and they could hardly resist it with their willpower. Their vision began to darken, and their throats kept sliding. Their tightly pursed mouths suddenly opened and took a breath at the moment when their consciousness became blurred.
broken!
The man's confused mind suddenly became much clearer, and he immediately realized that his respiratory tract was about to feel a burning pain.
Compared to the desire to breathe, the physiological activity of emptying the respiratory tract (coughing) is completely beyond the control of willpower.
And after that, cough - inhale - cough again - inhale again... until the air in their lungs is emptied and filled with water, and that is the end of their death.
however.
Accidents always come unexpectedly.
The pain he imagined did not appear, and he suddenly felt a little oxygen in his body. He couldn't wait to get more!
Is it possible to breathe the sea water in this world?
With this thought in mind, the man opened his mouth again and sucked in some water.
The cold liquid slid across his lips, tongue, and throat, but when it reached his lungs, it turned into the air he desperately desired!
You can actually breathe in the water!!
He was ecstatic, and just before he was on the verge of coma, he took a deep, deep breath, and a stream of cold air instantly filled his lungs. He could finally survive!
Anjiu on the platform discovered that one of them suddenly began to descend. He opened his mouth exaggeratedly, probably because he couldn't hold his breath anymore and was breathing.
But there were no bubbles coming out of his mouth, and there was no sign of water filling his lungs or him struggling in pain.
The other person was still struggling to swim upwards, but his expression became more and more ferocious, and his movements became more and more panicked and disorganized.
It looked like it was about to fail.
Anjiu stared at him closely.
The other party knew that water could not enter the lungs, so he pinched his neck with both hands and struggled in pain.
About half a minute later, his mind began to blur, his hands slipped down unconsciously, his body overcame his reason, and he began to breathe autonomously in the water.
--coming!
Anjiu lowered his body, very close to the sea water, and even most of his hair fell into it.
But she is not a native, so the sea water does no harm to her.
All her attention was on the person who was about to drown. She watched him wake up from his coma, touch his throat and chest with a look of shock, and slide his five fingers around him to feel the water flowing through his fingers.
Proving that he was indeed in the water, not in the air.
His body also began to descend, standing upright on the seabed. He looked around, looking for the person who came out with him, and ran to catch up.
Behind his feet, thick mud was rolled up, spreading and disturbing the clear and transparent sea water.
After the two people came together, they formed a temporary alliance and walked towards the underwater city together. Perhaps they could find unopened food there.
Seeing this, Anjiu understood that the indigenous people would burn for unknown reasons when they came into contact with sea water, but outsiders like them would not, and they could even breathe and walk freely in the water.
After figuring this out, Anjiu's gaze fell on the super-large city under the sea.
She also wanted to go over and take a look.
If you are lucky, you can find food that has not been soaked in water. If you are unlucky, you can also collect some glassware or hardware, so it is not a wasted trip.
Thinking of this, the loneliness and solitude that had just disturbed her mood disappeared, and now there was only the underwater city in her eyes.
But how to get there?
It was unrealistic to walk across the seabed like those people did, and she couldn't even get back to the platform - wait, why did she have to come back?
She was not a real member of the tribe, and had not made any promises to the chief...but it seemed like she really had helped the chief to return the white egg to its original place.
The patriarch's melancholy and lonely eyes automatically emerged, as if expressing silent accusation and sorrow.
Anjiu licked his lips.
Now that they've agreed...she'll see if she can move the building over there. If it can reach above the city, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
Although she was leaving in seven days, if she left now, the patriarch would wake up three days later and not be able to find her in the entire building. He would probably be devastated.
After all, having hope but having it taken away from you is a very despairing thing.
She would try to see if she could help revive a tribe member in the next few days, so that the tribe leader would have something to rely on and would be able to accept her departure calmly and not feel too sad.
This is the only way for now, she also has her own purpose for coming here.
After determining the target, Anjiu could no longer sit still. He went back into the building and searched through the clan leader's rooms one by one for the machine that could control the Luoju.
