Another World: That's too much. I have to start from scratch to get the contribution value.

Chapter 402: Mutation - Loneliness 11

Anjiu followed the patriarch closely.

"There is a room number on the egg. The first digit is the floor number, the last two digits are the room number, and the numbers 1 and 2 in the middle represent the gender... You will understand it when you see it."

The two walked slowly, the candles beside them flickering with orange light, extending out for a long time.

He pushed open one of the doors, walked to the pool, and jumped in.

He opened the bag and put the shrunken eggs inside. He meticulously cleaned the residue on the base with his fingernails, being extremely cautious with every move.

With a pious look in his eyes, he gently placed the white egg on top and wiped away the non-existent dust on the eggshell with the palm of his hand.

Then he put his hands together and moved his lips to pray solemnly.

"Great and sacred power, you are the guide of destiny, please have mercy on my devout people who bless you every day.

“I pray that you will grant those lost tribesmen the power of rebirth, so that their souls can wake up from their slumber and return to me.

"We will faithfully follow your guidance and be your most devout believers. May you hear my prayers and grant me blessings and hope."

A compelling sense of sacred mission quietly emanates from him.

Anjiu jumped in lightly, stood behind him, and made the same move.

He carries the fate and hope of the entire tribe...

The patriarch, who had finished praying, saw this scene with a look of relief in his eyes. He gently placed his palm on her head and said, "That's enough. God will feel it. Let's go to the next room."

"Don't we need to clean up this place?" An Jiu looked at the other shriveled eggs in the pool.

Doesn't it need to be put in a bag?

"No, wait until their eggs are laid, then we can clean them up."

Before leaving, Anjiu looked back and saw a small, intact, white egg lying quietly in the pool full of stains and dried egg residues.

——Grow up well.

……

"This should be the door, right?"

Liu Shen's heart was pounding as he ran, but that couldn't ease the fear that was following him like a shadow.

Although there are few living people in this strange world, it is full of weirdness!

The same floor, the same room, the same big pool and the bad guy with the corpse wrapped in it!

I can't find the top and I can't find the bottom. Where is the exit?

"Shh, rest here for a while and don't make any noise." Captain Chang Tianhua grabbed the sleeves of the two men and called them to stop.

The three of them suppressed their heavy breathing, stood back to back, and did not dare to leave the corridor.

After running for such a long time, they were extremely exhausted. They had not eaten enough to begin with, and now they were even more hungry. Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads due to the empty stomachs.

"Hurry up and find the exit, or you'll starve to death here!"

"We should be at the bottom soon. You see, there's not even a candle here. I guess the natives won't come here. We should be safe. As long as we don't make any noise, we can just search slowly."

The three of them discussed it and decided to go down one more floor to see if there was any food nearby.

As a result, the road was blocked by water.

"what's the situation?"

"How can there be water here?"

Dong Liniu found it unbelievable. The eggs upstairs were so shriveled that they were unbearable to look at, while the water here was deep and icy.

Can't we go down to the water and adjust it?

"It's over. There's no exit above or below," Liu Shen leaned against the wall dejectedly. "Are we going to be trapped here to death?"

"Don't be such a pessimist!" the captain yelled at him, "There must be a way out of this building, I just can't find the door!"

Dong Liniu: "Captain, why don't we go down into the water and take a look? Maybe the door is right down there."

Although it was pitch black on the water surface, who knew what would suddenly emerge from below, but we were already here, so should we go back the same way?

Chang Tianhua sighed, "This is the only way for now, but I can't swim, so who of you two will go down?"

Dong Liniu: "I am also a landlubber. I can only rely on Liu Shen, who is good at swimming."

Liu Shen: "No way! Why should I go down? What if there's a monster under the water? I—"

Chang Tianhua's face turned black. "Besides you, who else here knows how to swim?"

Liu Shen: "Then I won't go either!"

Dong Liniu and Chang Tianhua exchanged glances, "Not going? Then don't blame us..."

"Ha!" Liu Shen sneered, contrary to his usual behavior. "I can go, but only if there is a rope tied to you and me. Otherwise, he will kill me right now. You are trapped in this building, and he will always be able to find you! Then the three of us can keep each other company."

"..."Chang Tianhua and Dong Liniu were speechless.

Rather than killing Liu Shen, it would be better to let him die while exploring the way or delaying the pace of the indigenous people.

"Okay! Let's do as you say." The captain made the final decision.

But where can I find a rope? This place is bare and there is nothing.

"Take off all your clothes. I'll swim as far as my clothes allow. Besides, the water is so cold, I need to get used to it first."

What Liu Shen said was true. Whoever goes into the water will face greater danger.

The two people standing on the shore were naturally much safer than him.

He asked them to take off their clothes to avoid the two of them abandoning him and running away in case of danger on the shore.

"Okay! Let's do as you say!" The captain had no choice but to agree.

If there really is an exit under the water, they still have to rely on Liu Shen to lead them out.

After a while, except for their underwear, the three men were naked. They tied their clothes together and tied the ends firmly around Liu Shen's waist.

After everything was ready, Liu Shen jumped on the spot to warm up, and then put his toes into the water.

"hiss--"

He gasped and shivered.

“It’s so cool!”

Dong Liniu and Chang Tianhua felt cold with their naked bodies, not to mention Liu Shen who had to go into the water.

"Hold on for a while. You'll be warm once you get into the water."

When Liu Shen jumped into the water, he was shaking all over and couldn't even speak.

The two people on the shore hurried to comfort him, saying that if he couldn't stand the cold and came out, it would be difficult for him to go back into the water.

Liu Shen gritted his teeth and swam towards the deeper parts while he could still hold on.

Watching his figure gradually being swallowed by the darkness, Chang Tianhua began to feel uneasy, hoping to find the door, otherwise this trip would be in vain...

Liu Shen felt that the water temperature was extremely cold and piercingly cold. Not long after he swam out, his limbs began to become uncontrollable and he felt numb and swollen.

Moreover, he had no sense of how deep the water was, so he could only try his best to caress the edge and look for signs of the door bit by bit.

The two people on the shore looked at the clothesline that was getting straighter and straighter, and their hearts were pounding with nervousness.

After an unknown amount of time, a head suddenly emerged from the water.

The two people who were concentrating so much were frightened that they almost cried out.

"Shh! Shh! It's me!" Liu Shen said excitedly, "I found the door downstairs! But it's closed too tightly. Come with me and pull the door open!"
