The insects were still crawling into his mouth, and at this time the other people came back one after another.
Without exception, they were all wet, their faces were pale, and their bellies were bulging.
“Hurry up and save them!”
“Close the door!”
Two groups of voices were heard, the ticket seller was dragged away, and the remaining people hurriedly closed the door.
There was a knock on the door.
"Open the door!"
"We found a well outside and the water is delicious."
"How are you going to get water if you don't come out?"
"Open the door! Let us in!"
The door was banged hard. The sounds could be heard everywhere, including in front of the door and the windows.
"The worm in her mouth can't be removed!"
"The door is about to be broken down by someone outside!"
"Aren't there only four of us who haven't come back? How come... why are there six people knocking on the door?"
Suddenly someone said something, and the person who heard it felt a chill down their back.
Bang-
The old window couldn't withstand the prolonged beating and it broke.
A familiar face appeared outside, and it looked like the person who had gone missing a few days ago. Her hair was soaked and stuck to her scalp, her head looked abnormally large, and her lips were large and swollen, an abnormal purple color.
Her grey eyes seemed to be staring, her teeth were exposed, and her facial muscles were raised in a strange smile.
"Finally found you..."
As her hand slid down, something surged up her throat.
Splash—a large number of soft worms mixed with stomach acid and mucus are spit out from the mouth.
The water kept flowing like a tap that would never stop. The soft worms began to slowly crawl towards them.
The other windows were also broken. Not just six people, but almost all the people who had been missing had arrived. They all looked like that. Soon, the insects had filled the entire ruined temple.
"Ah! Ahem—"
Someone used a knife to cut off the extremely swollen flesh worm in the conductor's mouth, intending to disassemble it and take it out, but the remaining half suddenly drilled into her stomach.
The conductor was shaking all over, and his body began to turn purple and black. He lifted his clothes and saw his belly moving up and down, following the path of the insects. One small bulge became two, two became four... His belly was visibly getting bigger.
“Help, help me!”
The conductor tightly grasped the hand of the old lady next to her, and her consciousness was blurred. She grabbed the kind-hearted old lady next to her tightly, her fingers were pulled white, and she was too strong to break free.
There are bugs outside, and someone inside has a stomach full of bugs.
The most important thing is the fog!
White fog appeared in places where there were a large number of insects. As the number of insects increased, the white fog rose and became thicker, gradually gathering in places where there were many people.
Fu Anan had just taken a step when she heard a snap and stepped on a bug that had crawled to her feet. The bug, which had not yet sucked blood, splashed out milky white juice after being crushed.
In just a short while, the bugs were everywhere.
Fu Anan found her bag, took out clothes from it and wrapped herself tightly.
Others were not so lucky. Bugs crawled onto some people's arms or other exposed parts of their bodies. Screams were heard all around. People were constantly cleaning the bugs that had crawled onto their bodies and gathering towards places with fewer bugs, but the ruined temple was only this small.
There's nowhere to run.
The statues in the ruined temple were crawling with insects, so densely packed that they connected together like a wriggling skin.
This is only the fourth day of the game!
Fu Anan kept shaking his body to prevent the insects from climbing up, and secretly took out the flame trumpet with his right hand. It was confirmed before that these insects were afraid of fire.
"Everyone come here quickly, there is a tunnel here!"
Just then, a roar was heard.
The person who spoke was Yang Zitao.
It was bottomless inside, and cold air was rising up.
The insects all around were about to drown people, and no one had time to think about what was going on in there. They urgently needed a shelter.
Only one person can pass through the cave at a time.
Everyone rushed down in panic, blocking the entrance of the cave for a time.
"Don't worry, throw your luggage down first, and then get off one by one!"
Zhang Qiang began to maintain order.
Fu Anan was pushed to the back. The door was broken at this time, and the "people" who were originally blocked outside came in. Together with the companions who had gone out before, there were eight people in total.
The human figure was looming in the fog in the room, and was walking towards the living people still outside in a twisted way. The swarm of insects was only one meter away from them, and the person standing behind Fu Anan was already running forward in fear.
"Those things are coming!"
"Go away and let me go in first."
The road ahead is blocked and bugs are coming from behind.
Fu Anan opened her woven bag and took out all the extra clothes inside.
"Who has fire?"
"I, I have!"
The middle-aged man closest to her quickly handed over his lighter.
Cotton clothes can be easily ignited, and throwing them on the ground can immediately stop the insects from approaching. This made Zhang Qiang change his plan to go down immediately and re-direct the remaining people.
Cotton clothing is flammable, but not durable.
Fu Anan quickened his pace and climbed into the pit as fast as he could.
Zhang Qiang arrived shortly afterwards, stood behind her and patted her on the shoulder, "Little girl, you are very smart and know how to use fire to drive away those bugs. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get down."
"Thanks."
Suddenly being praised, Fu Anan smiled shyly and unnoticeably dodged his hand that was trying to touch her hair.
"My little Hua gets embarrassed easily, Officer Zhang, please stop teasing her."
Seeing this, Yang Zitao quickly stepped forward to stop Zhang Qiang and Fu Anan from getting closer, and then changed the topic to business, "It seems that there is a lot of space ahead, should we continue walking?"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the lid from above.
"Let's go ahead and take a look."
##
The corridor was longer than they had imagined.
There was no light and it was pitch black all around. To prevent getting lost, everyone held hands.
The narrow space gives people a sense of oppression and insecurity
Especially in a dark environment, this feeling would be amplified. Even with many people around, this feeling could not be weakened. Fu Anan's palms began to sweat and his nerves were tense.
Until a glimmer of light appeared ahead.
"Hey, what do you think that is?"
The person walking in front stopped and looked at the scene in the distance.
Those were a bunch of crystals emitting green fluorescence.
The light floated on the crystal, just like the aurora that alternated between light and dark and kept changing. With the light, everyone finally saw the environment they were in. This was a cave, and the upside-down stalactites were particularly sharp.
Tick-tock
Water dripped down from the stalactites, creating a small puddle underground.
“It’s water!”
The first person who discovered it shouted out first, saying that things had finally turned bright. They didn’t expect that after the crisis they would actually find water!
