Zhang Xiaoqiang had not completely lost consciousness for a long time. When he woke up from the darkness again, there was not a single part of his body that he could move, even opening his eyes was difficult. Boundless darkness enveloped him, and the scorching hot air was slowly rising from the ground, hitting his face. On his numb face, droplets of water condensed and slid down his cheeks into his mouth. It was this steaming water with the smell of sulfur that woke him up from his unconsciousness.
It took Zhang Xiaoqiang a long time to remember everything that had happened before. The earth was overturned, the boulders cracked, and the mountain collapsed. In the violent tremors of the earth, he was sucked into the crevice of the mountain. He was immediately shocked. When he was falling, he did not have the time to breathe or think. He did not even have the time to be afraid. His whole body was in a state of bystander and he lost his ability to control himself. He was like a boat on the top of a wave, drifting with the current. Only now did he start to feel fear, he almost lost his life.
When fear welled up in his heart, his perception of his surroundings instantly strengthened. Although it was still the same darkness as before, he could make up for it with his sense of smell and hearing. There was the rustling sound of sand sliding down, the faint whistling sound of wind passing through the abyss-like crevice below him, and the dripping sound of water droplets splashing on the rocks above his head. Other than that, he also smelled the thick smell of sulfur and blood, as well as the fishy smell of soil.
As time passed, his perception became clearer. Although he still could not see, he already knew his situation. At this moment, his whole body was floating in the air. Below him was a large crevice that was emitting hot air. What stuck him was the Zhanmadao on his back. The Zhanmadao's length of more than 170 centimeters was stuck on both sides of the stone wall. Even if it saved his life, it also prevented him from moving up or down.
After another ten minutes, Zhang Xiaoqiang gradually grasped the situation of every part of his body. First was numbness, so numbness that he could not feel his limbs. Then came the pain, which he had not felt for a long time. He had experienced battles that ordinary people could not imagine, so getting injured was a common occurrence. However, as his ability improved, the number of injuries he suffered decreased, and his increasing self-healing ability also made him immune to normal pain. Sometimes, he did not even notice the minor injuries, but before the numbness turned to pain, the wounds would heal on their own, unless it was a large wound that needed time to heal. But now, the pain that he had not felt for a long time made him moan.
In addition, the most unbearable thing for him was hunger. The appearance of hunger meant that his self-healing ability had reached its limit. Usually, his appetite was not small, almost ten times that of ordinary people. His stomach was like aqua, so he could digest everything thoroughly. No matter how much he ate, it would be converted into energy and stored in his body, only released when he needed it. In other words, he had the skill that all women before the apocalypse were crazy about, a super glutton who could maintain his figure. One could imagine how serious the injuries he had suffered just now were.
When Zhang Xiaoqiang gradually broke free from the various negative states, starting from his fingers, he slowly regained control of his body. Although he did not feel any force when he was suspended in mid-air, he did not suffer the final impact. Other than the pain in his spine, he was only left with the pain of his muscles being torn. These were not unbearable. Relying on his tempered heart and nerves, he finally regained control of his body, and finally realized that his situation was worse than he had imagined.
There were many fractures in his body. If it were not for the snake scale armor as the last protection, he might have been pierced by the sharp edges when he fell. Less than two meters above his head, there was an evolved person who died with his eyes wide open. Compared to this evolved person who was bleeding like a dried corpse, there was another evolved person who was extremely lucky. He fell a little later than Zhang Xiaoqiang. When Zhang Xiaoqiang was stuck by the Zhanmadao, the evolved person was also blocked by the Zhanmadao. Zhang Xiaoqiang listened to the breathing sound in his ears and knew that the guy was temporarily fine. However, he was not any better. He had snake scale armor on his body, but his face was not. His face was crisscrossed with bloody grooves, and his left eye was so swollen that there was only a slit left. If it were not for the fact that he knew that he would recover as long as he had food, he might have thought that he was disfigured.
Knowing his own situation did not mean that he could temporarily climb up. He looked up, but he could not see a single ray of light. Above his head, he could only see things that were not that far away through the dim light that seemed to be blocked by a lampshade. Fortunately, he had super long distance vision, and his vision was much better than that of ordinary people. Otherwise, he would be like a person who had fallen into an infinite abyss, unable to see anything clearly.
As time passed, Zhang Xiaoqiang's strength and energy recovered bit by bit. After an unknown period of time, he could already move his limbs. At this moment, the crisp sound of rocks colliding with rocks came from above his head. The continuous crisp sound formed a line and rushed towards him at high speed. In the next second, there was a whistling sound of the wind. An irregular rock the size of a human head whizzed past his ear, bringing with it a thick smell of mud as it fell into the infinite darkness below him. The sudden fall of the rock shocked his entire body. A wave of lingering fear made him completely awake. At the same time, an unexpected power surged from within his body, and he instantly regained control of his body … After throwing the rock down, Darhachi listened quietly for a long time.
After throwing the stone down, Dari Hachi listened quietly for a long time. After a whole minute, he finally heard a faint rumble. He couldn't help but shake off a lot of sand that was stuck on his head. He turned around and said, "West Huri Ao Du, I don't think there's any hope for the people who fell down. This crack is at least a thousand meters deep, and we can't see anything down there. No matter how powerful Brother Cockroach is, I'm afraid he's already a pile of minced meat …"
Four o 'clock in the afternoon was not the darkest time of the day. The sky was shrouded in yellow-gray dust, and everything around them was indistinct in the hazy light. If it wasn't for the raging flames of the helicopter that had fallen from the collapsed crater not far away from them, no one within a radius of a few dozen meters would have been able to see clearly. Darhachi's image was not very good at the moment. His face was covered in all kinds of mud and dust, and he looked like a muddy monkey. When he spoke, the orange light from the flames clearly illuminated the sand on his teeth. If one did not know him, they would have thought that he was born with a mouth full of rotten teeth.
The person he was talking to was a man in white who was standing next to the helicopter bonfire. There were many people around him. There were three British people kneeling on the side, five Americans, and seven or eight Russian men standing behind the man in white. Further away, there were soldiers holding AK rifles on guard. When everyone was dirty, this man's spotless white clothes made him look like a swan among a flock of wild ducks. If Zhang Xiaoqiang saw him, he would recognize him at first glance. It was Tie Zhongyuan, who he had not seen for a long time.
Tie Zhongyuan frowned as he looked at the crack that was hundreds of meters wide. It was pitch black inside the crack. Even if he threw a torch, he would not be able to see the specific situation. He could only see countless rugged sharp edges and stones that could fall at any time. He agreed with what Darhachi said, but his face did not change. He looked at the crack that looked like the mouth of a demon and said sternly, "He is not an ordinary person. Others may not be able to survive, but he might be able to survive …"
Dari Hachi shrugged his shoulders as a sign of affirmation, but he was extremely suspicious in his heart. Just when he was about to turn around and continue to monitor the crack, the ground suddenly shook again. Dari Hachi was so scared that he screamed and jumped towards Tie Zhongyuan like an ape, trying to find some sense of security. The other evolved humans also cried out in alarm. Only Tie Zhongyuan did not know what to do and just stood there, waiting for the aftershock to pass.
When the violent shaking of the ground stopped, an American screamed, "Please take us out of here. The underground structure has loosened, and it is very likely to collapse. At that time, everything within a few kilometers will collapse. I don't want to die here, please, please …"
Tie Zhongyuan did not pay attention to the man's words at first, but after a while, he realized that the man was speaking in Chinese. Tie Zhongyuan was a top student at Cambridge, so he could understand English. At the same time, he also knew Chinese, Mongolian, and Russian. However, in his eyes, only Chinese were worthy of his attention, so he did not care about these Americans and British. Even if they all died in front of him, he would not even blink. However, it was different for an American who could speak Chinese. He could not help but raise his hand and grab the man.
Tie Zhongyuan's ability was also constantly evolving. In the past, if he wanted to do this, he would need a lithe woman and a distance of less than 10 meters. But now, the man was at least 30 meters away from him, and he weighed more than 180 kilograms. When this man grabbed him so easily, it seemed like he had not used his full strength yet. "I know this guy.
He is a Chinese-American. I think he talked to Zhang Xiaoqiang before. Do you want to kill him … "This time, Dari Hachi spoke in Chinese, but it scared Li Yuehan half to death. He did not expect this man in white to have such a barbaric subordinate. Tie Zhongyuan looked at Li Yuehan, who was also dirty to the point that he could not see his face clearly. Li Yuehan was floating beside him like a balloon, which was beyond Li Yuehan's knowledge. Under extreme fear, Tie Zhongyuan shouted nervously," Don't kill me, I am useful. I know some common knowledge about earthquakes. Japan is an earthquake-prone area, but this earthquake was not caused by nature. According to statistics, such a big earthquake will not happen within the next 300 years. Maybe it is because of mutant beasts, or the mutation of red algae, or something else, so we are in danger now. The next earthquake will be even bigger than this one, please … "
"Shut up …" Tie Zhongyuan shouted, causing Li Yuehan to shudder and stop talking. Turning his head to look at Dari Hachi, Tie Zhongyuan could not make up his mind. He had to confirm whether Zhang Xiaoqiang was dead or alive. Not only did he want to know, but Wan Qiang, who was behind him, also wanted to know. And they were more interested in Zhang Xiaoqiang than the red algae, so Zhang Xiaoqiang was very important.
"Xihuri Ao Du, I think … professional problems must be handled by professionals. We do not understand earthquakes. If this guy is telling the truth, we may be in danger …" The previous earthquake had almost scared Dari Hachi out of his wits. He was not interested in staying here and could not wait to leave.
Dari Hachi's persuasion seemed to have moved Tie Zhongyuan. He looked deeply at Li Yuehan and slowly put him down. Then, he said something that shocked Tie Zhongyuan, "It seems that I will not be able to wait for him. He is a person that I respect, and he is also a person that this world should respect. Even if I have always regarded him as a goal to surpass and an enemy for life, I still believe that he should not die so quietly. So … all of you should be buried with him …"
After saying that, Li Yuehan wanted to say something, but Tie Zhongyuan once again floated in the air. He spun a few rounds in the sky and ruthlessly threw him towards the big crack. Li Yuehan let out an unusually loud scream in the air and fell towards the crack. Tie Zhongyuan's eyes suddenly turned scarlet. He looked at the other frightened captives and was about to make a move when he heard an angry shout, "Who the f * ck is littering …"
Dari Hachi covered his mouth in surprise. At the place where Li Yuehan fell, Zhang Xiaoqiang was slowly climbing up. On his shoulder was a guy whose life or death was unknown. Just as he was about to climb out of the crack, Li Yuehan flew towards him. Both of his hands were on the edge of the crack. Zhang Xiaoqiang had no room to dodge. He could not help but shout in anger. Then, he was hit by Li Yuehan and fell towards the abyss together.
"Oh my god, Zhang Xiaoqiang has been hit by you …" Dari Hachi screamed at the top of his lungs like a castrated rooster. Tie Zhongyuan glared at Dari Hachi and his figure suddenly disappeared. The next moment, he appeared at the edge of the crack. With both of his hands grabbing at the air, his eyes were wide open. After a loud shout, Zhang Xiaoqiang, Li Yuehan, and Jima rushed out of the crack and fell to the ground. At this time, the sound of Dari Hachi's scream had yet to disappear …
