Qin Luo was afraid of Weixi's tricks, so he led him cautiously along the way. Wei Xi kept biting his lips and did not speak. Qin Luo knew that he was unwilling, and would definitely cause some trouble for himself. The reason why he is honest now is that apart from the dagger on his neck, he is still waiting for some more favorable opportunities for him.

Compared with other places in the dog camp, the passage is much narrower, and the width and height do not exceed three meters. There was no damp and corrupt smell in the air, but a warm and dry wind. It is absolutely impossible for the wind on the surface to blow down so deep underground. Qin Luo felt that there should be at least a scorching magma flow not far from them.

After traveling tactfully for nearly a hundred meters, a downward step suddenly appeared.

Dean frowned and approached Qin Luo and said, "How could it be down, could it be that he deliberately pointed the wrong way?"

Qin Luo shook his head and smiled at Dean beside him, "Don't worry, we should at least see where this leads."

Although Qin Luo didn't have Mo's ability to distinguish lies by heartbeat, his intuition told him that at least half of Weixi's words were true. In other words, this channel is likely to lead to the ground, but the process will not be so smooth.

Qin Luo's warm smile comforted Dean, and he followed silently again. For a person who has been suffering underground for five years, Qin Luo understands his urgency to leave here. He also hopes that from here, he will eventually find a way to the ground. Then lead the mutants in the dog camp to leave that man-eating demon lair. But even if it doesn't lead to the ground, Qin Luo still has to check it out. Because judging from the structure of the stone wall, it was built together with the underground prison built by the entire blood race. Whether it is danger or treasure, once you find it, you have to go down and have a look to feel at ease.

This floor has the only 'elevator' that can get out of the dog camp. Once there is any potential threat below that destroys the use of the elevator, they are likely to be trapped. In case there is also a big guy of the blood clan buried here, he doesn't mind adding some food to Mo. Of course, the point is that they must kill that guy before his ability fully awakens, otherwise everyone will be in danger.

After going down a short flight of steps, the front turned out to be a dead end. A huge stone wall stretched across it, apparently coming to an end. Qin Luo walked over and touched the stone wall. The stone wall was dry and slightly warm.

Qin Luo asked Dean to look at Weixi first, while he carefully checked on the ground. Just as he was approaching the ground on the left, Weixi suddenly struggled violently. Qin Luo's figure flashed in front of Weixi, and he punched him in the abdomen, causing Weixi to shrink back in pain. Dean took advantage of the opportunity to stop Weixi, but after seeing the small bloodstain on Weixi's neck that he had scratched, a trace of apology flashed in Dean's eyes.

"If he doesn't threaten our lives, I won't kill him. But if he's dishonest, I won't be soft on him." Qin Luo paused and continued, "If you can't keep a close eye on him, Make him act threatening to me, and I'll kill him."

Dean was taken aback for a moment, and the murderous intent in Qin Luo's tone let him know that this sentence was definitely not a joke.

"Will you watch him now?" Qin Luo asked Dean calmly.

Dean bit his lip and nodded heavily.

Qin Luo squatted down again, groped the ground on the left side for a while, then stood up and stepped on a joint of four stone bricks. The sound of stone walls rubbing against each other sounded, and the blocking of the road ahead was removed, followed by the blowing hot wind.

Qin Luo pulled Weixi back again, and the three of them continued along the passage. The hot wind is getting heavier, Qin Luo thinks that this place should be very close to the magma flow. Wei Xi suddenly turned his head and said a few words to Dean, and Dean's face suddenly became gloomy.

"He said that there is no road leading to the ground here, only a wide magma belt." Dean explained to Qin Luo who was on the side.

Qin Luo raised his eyebrows, Weixi's body was tense, either there was some danger here that frightened him, or he was worried that the hidden secret would be discovered. Qin Luo felt that the second possibility was more likely, so he planned to visit the magma belt in Weixi's mouth.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Weixi was a little anxious.

Qin Luo glanced at him and said to Dean who was beside him, "Often when there is no way out, people just refuse to take a few more steps because of the appearance; so they miss another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright. Don't pay attention to what he said, anyway. Now that we’ve come here, why don’t we go to the magma belt. I always feel that since the blood race repaired this passage, there must be some reason, and it’s definitely not for pure appreciation of the beautiful magma fire.”

Dean's face softened slightly because of Qin Luo's words, although he also felt that there must be some reason for the blood race to repair here; but if Qin Luo was not in front, he would not dare to go so deep.

The temperature rose sharply, and Qin Luo was sweating all over. He licked his dry lips, still holding Weixi ahead. Judging from the red light not far away, it should be the magma belt in Weixi's mouth. At this time, they were no more than fifty meters away from the magma flow.

Vesey was a little bit resistant as he walked forward, and he turned his head to say a few words to Dean again.

Dean held Qin Luo back, "He said that the magma belt in front would spew flames, and it would be dangerous to get closer."

Qin Luo scanned the stone wall beside him, pointed to the stone wall in the distance and said to Dean, "Although I don't know the composition of the cold light source on the stone wall, it was smeared on it. If The magma wave is really like what he said, it will spew up, and the cold light source on the wall will definitely be melted."

Dean looked at Qin Luo's fingers. Although the cold light source on the wall was slightly dim and red under the cover of the magma flow, it could still be seen that the thing was still firmly stuck to the wall.

Qin Luo saw that his tense face had eased a little, and then said, "The blood race must have some intentions to repair the road here."

Dean bit his lip, "You said that this place is used by the blood race to execute the death penalty, or to throw those who they think are guilty into the magma."

Qin Luo was amused by him and shook his head. "Absolutely not, they won't be so wasteful." Not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive construction of a stone corridor of several hundred meters, they would say such a stupid thing just because of the strength in the blood of the blood.

Dean didn't understand what Qin Luo meant by waste, but he was smart enough not to ask.

Qin Luo squeezed Weixi's neck with a dagger, and Weixi had no choice but to continue to follow him. Instead of gritting his teeth and talking to Dean beside him, Dean's face became more and more ugly.

Although he couldn't understand their conversation, Qin Luo could guess that Weixi must be threatening Dean, and how dangerous it was ahead. But judging from Weixi's various performances, Qin Luo is not worried anymore. He concluded that Vesey must have been here before, and there was some secret ahead that he was afraid he would discover. Maybe at the beginning, Weixi planned to use this road to trap him to death, but that was when he didn't find out how to activate the mechanism here. Obviously Wei Xi didn't want them to use this place to go out, so he said those words in an attempt to intimidate them.

"He, he said that the front will suddenly spit out flames, and if it passes by, it will be scorched." Dean finally couldn't help persuading him.

Qin Luo was a little helpless. He had already told Dean the conclusion he got from his analysis, but it was obvious that Weixi's intimidation had worked on Dean. He would rather believe a lie than believe what his eyes saw.

Just at this time, a huge flame erupted suddenly in the magma flow that was only more than 20 meters away from them. Both Dean and Weixi were taken aback. Weixi refused to leave without saying anything, and Dean looked at Qin Luo in embarrassment.

Qin Luo looked at the spewing flame, and gave Weixi a meaningful smile. He actually strode towards the location where the magma erupted again, and he walked without hesitation.

"Danger..." Dean didn't finish his sentence, Qin Luo didn't look back, but waved his hand at him to stop him.

Surviving in the last days may require more luck at the beginning, but a person who can survive for ten years in the last days needs more than just luck. Without absolute strength, as well as keen insight and accurate judgment, it is absolutely impossible for him to survive for so long in the crisis-ridden apocalypse. And under harsh and harsh conditions, the longer you survive, the more exercise and experience you get.

Qin Luo is not a reckless person. He persisted because of his experience and the conclusions he drew told him that there must be something Weixi tried to hide in front of him. If his predictions are correct, there may be only a thin line away from the real exit.

The current 'dog camp' is like a dangerous object that is rapidly shrinking. Even if a few of them can survive in the chaotic killing, they will definitely lose a large number of mutants. Although Qin Luo felt that some mutants had been in the dog camp for a long time and lost their original humanity, but the influence of drug factors could not be ruled out. They are not like zombies, whose humanity is completely annihilated by the virus gene, and there is still the possibility of salvation.

Not to mention that these mutants are a great help in the last days, even without the last days, Qin Luo would not just watch so many people die. This has nothing to do with selfishness or fraternity, it's just a simple respect for life. The longer he lives in the last days, the more Qin Luo will feel that life is precious, especially when he has the ability to save these people, he is even more unwilling to give up such an opportunity.

A road leading to the exit is a way of survival, a way of life for these mutants who are trapped in the deep darkness underground and whose food is cut off by ZO. So Qin Luo had to go and see if there was such a road near the magma belt. Even if it takes some risk, it's worth it. What's more, Qin Luo's intuition told him that those dangers were all illusions, in order to hide this road to freedom.

Even if it takes some risk, it's worth it. What's more, Qin Luo's intuition told him that those dangers were all illusions, in order to hide this road to freedom.

Danger behind him looked at Qin Luo who was walking faster and faster in astonishment. He didn't understand whether this person was stupid or had a brain problem. From his angle, he could completely see the spewing magma flames, and the scorching high temperature would definitely be daunting. At least no normal person would be willing to approach that range, because judging from the scorching temperature, such high temperature can definitely kill instantly. And he has seriously warned that person, as long as they get close there, they will be burned to death by the flames spewed up.

Wei Xi turned to Dean beside him and trembled, "Is he crazy? Only a lunatic can make such a judgment."

Dean didn't answer him, but just stared blankly at Qin Luo who was walking further and further away. Qin Luo was approaching this dangerous place at a speed that made him shudder. From this angle of Dean, he even thought that Qin Luo was lying on the flames that spewed up and moved forward.

When Qin Luo was only a few meters away from the end of the tunnel, Weixi suddenly hit Dean with his elbow. All Dean's attention was on Qin Luo, and he was completely unprepared for Wei Xi's move at this time, which made him blurt out of his control all at once.

The moment Wei Xi escaped from Dean's control, she quickly relaxed her body. In just a few seconds, he changed from a handsome young man to a batman with shriveled bone wings and a rat tail.

Dean was afraid that he would escape, so he got rid of the human form in an instant. A beautiful long tail of fluff, with the unique agility of felines. Dean, who had turned into a half-leopard, stared at Weixi cautiously, making up his mind not to let him rush out of the corridor from his side.

Weixi's eyes flickered, and she suddenly thought of a gap on Dean's side and rushed. Dean defended cautiously, and at the same time quickly retreated a distance, sealing off the position that Vesey wanted to pass.

What Dean didn't expect was that when he quickly retreated to block Weixi. Weixi turned around abruptly, and rushed straight at Qin Luo who was already close to the magma flow.

The figure was extremely fast, and Dean's backward leap further widened the distance between the two. In the blink of an eye, he understood Wei Xi's intention. He wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack Qin Luo, and with the inertia of body collision, knock Qin Luo down in one fell swoop. Below that is the extremely hot magma flow, as long as Qin Luo falls from above, he will definitely die. And he has bat wings, so he can fly back quickly.

It was too late to rescue Qin Luo, and Dean could only let out a long tiger-like exclamation.

Qin Luo handed Weixi to Dean, and had long expected that Dean might not be able to control Weixi. So even though he was moving forward, he was always paying attention to what was going on behind him. Although the distance of 20 meters is not short, for Qin Luo, it is enough to return to the aid. Even if Weixi could really run back along the corridor and close the stone gate there. Knowing how to open the Shimen, Qin Luo is also confident that he will find the mechanism to open the door here. Even if he can't find it, he still has the ability to remove the entire stone gate, although that may scare Dean stupidly.

Hearing the rushing wind behind him, Qin Luo already knew Weixi's purpose. But that guy's thinking is too simple, if he can be thrown into the magma flow like this. As early as the first day when the end of the world broke out, he died under the bite of zombies.

With only a slight sway of his body, Qin Luo avoided Wei Xi's rush. But at this time, Wei Xi couldn't hold back the inertia because of his excessive force, so he threw himself into the magma flow. He flicked his wings quickly, trying to stabilize his body with the pair of bat wings, and turned his head to look at Qin Luo viciously.

Weixi was extremely annoyed at this moment, he didn't expect that guy's body to be so flexible and flexible. The action he dodged just now is completely beyond what ordinary people can do. When he stared at Qin Luo, he thought he would see the guy's mocking sneer, or his hatred for himself. But he never expected that the man looked at him with pity.

Before he had time to think about it, a burning pain came from the bat wing. Weixi let out a sharp scream, and unexpectedly regained his human form in the air. Without the support of the bat wings, Weixi felt the breath of death in horror. At that moment, Weixi's mind was spinning fast, maybe this is the perception of people before death.

He saw Qinglu teasingly pressed against him, and saw the efforts he had put in to prevent Qinglu from giving herself to others to play with. He also saw the green and indifferent eyes when he hugged the beautiful boy and sent him out of the stone room. The love he thought, the protection he thought completely belonged to someone else. Rather than saying that he hates Qin Luo for killing Qinglu, it is better to say that he hates himself for not being able to recognize people clearly. He once felt that if Qin Luo didn't come and Qinglu would not die, he would try his best to get back Qinglu's affection for him. But there are so many slaves here, if Qinglu had feelings, how could she eat them after playing with their bodies. He even thought of the last man who was killed by Qinglu. He heard from those people that Qinglu once loved him very much.

If Qin Luo doesn't come, will he end up in that end, will Qinglu let him live who knows the secret here? If it happened again, he might not attack Qin Luo, at least the man looked at him very gently.

In terms of appearance, Weixi looks about the same age as Qin Luo. But if he wasn't caught here, he was probably just a student at school. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was forced to be injected with a mutant gene vaccine, and then thrown into this place where people cannibalize and see nothing. The fear and helplessness at that time can be imagined.

The spouting magma fire was actually some distance away from Weixi's body, but the high temperature of the flame swept Weixi's bat wings. However, not many were caught. If it was the mutants outside who were fighting all day long, the pain would be nothing at all. What Qin Luo didn't expect was that the young man turned back into himself, and closed his eyes the moment he was frightened.

When the scorching air waves burned his skin, Weixi felt that he was finished, but suddenly there was a pulling force from his waist. When he opened his eyes here, the person he was about to kill just now was staring at him.

Wei Xi let out an exclamation, and then shut his mouth shut when he was stared at by those eyes.

Qin Luo picked out his humming ears, and looked at Dean who rushed over, "Can you let him stand by himself, I don't think it's his feet that got burned."

The thrilling scene just now did not calm Dean's beating heart. From Weixi's transformation and trying to bump into Qin Luo, to returning to human form and falling and being rescued by Qin Luo, it seems to be just a blink of an eye. But Dean felt that it was a very long process. During the long process, his heart went up and down several times, and almost jumped out of his throat.

Dean also quickly recovered his human form, but his expression was very ferocious, and he threw himself at Weixi and beat him violently. Qin Luo was almost overturned, Weixi was beaten and screamed by him, and Dean finally stopped.

Qin Luo leaned his back against the wall, and Dean was sobbing on top of him. Just after Dean ran away, panting heavily, he still stared at Dean. This scene was so weird no matter how you looked at it.

Qin Luo cleared his throat, "What, can you let him get off me first."

It seems that he has been emphasizing this issue just now. Such a big living person hanging on him is already very heavy. Dean even rushed over to suppress him, if it wasn't for the solid wall behind him. Qin Luo guessed that he was lying on the ground at this moment, using it as a cushion for these two boys.

Dean was stunned for two seconds before embarrassingly explaining to Wei Xi. Only then did Weixi come back to his senses, and let go of Qin Luo's legs. Although Weixi gritted her teeth and endured, her back seemed to be burned a lot. He was beaten angrily by Dean just now, and his body was shaking violently due to the pain.

Qin Luo finally sighed, and took out a small box from his 'bosom'. The box contains gauze soaked with spring water. After the spring water has a healing effect, the base soaks the gauze with his spring water for use by the wounded. Dean acted as an interpreter again, and Weixi obediently let Qin Luo apply gauze to his wound. He drank another half bottle of mineral water stuffed by Qin Luo, and was very obedient during the whole process. Except for the occasional sob or two, there was no sound.

After treating Weixi's wound, Qin Luo handed him over to Dean to take care of him. At this time, they were already very close to the magma flow, and they could already see a paved stone road on the left side of the entrance of the corridor, close to the top of the magma flow. The stone road goes upward along the magma flow, and there is another turning point after more than 100 meters.

Qin Luo turned to Dean and said, "Tell him, if he is dishonest again, I don't have to jump into the magma flow by himself this time, and I will just throw him in."

Dean glared at Weixi, "You don't need to throw it away, I'll just kick this stupid boy in."

Then Dean murmured a few words to Vesey, and Vessie nodded obediently.

The rest of the journey went smoothly. Although the magma flow felt scorching hot and would occasionally spew out some flames, it did not spit out over the stone road. The heat is like a sauna, but not unbearably high. After passing the nearly 100-meter magma flow area, he entered the corridor again, and after walking more than ten meters, he came to a straight-up staircase.

Qin Luo turned to Dean and said, "Ask him to see if he has been here before. If this road can go out, then we can save some effort."

Dean relayed the words to Vesey, who was very honest this time, and frankly stated the above situation.

It turns out that from here, there is a small hot spring pool with two thousand steps. Qinglu fell ill once, and asked Weixi to come here to fetch him several spring water. After passing the spring, there is a long, long stone step, which is a very spacious cave. Wei Xi knew where there was an exit, because from the messy crawl marks on the ground, he could tell that these guys had come in and out there. However, the entrance of the cave was blocked by a very large boulder, unless it had the volume of green, it would be impossible to remove that piece at all.
