[Deep Starry Sky-13]
With the help of Qin Lu's plate transposition, everyone walked a few kilometers deeper into the cave. The surrounding temperature was obviously much lower than before. The investigation results of the small map showed that the blue teammate coordinates were still not found within one kilometer ahead. .
Yue Xingwen's face became more and more ugly - could they have looked in the wrong direction from the beginning, Jiang Pingce was actually on the other side of the volcano? There are only Zhuo Feng and Zhang Xiaonian in the cave? If so, Jiang Pingce would only suffocate to death after the oxygen in the escape pod was exhausted!
Yue Xingwen didn't dare to think about such a terrible result.
He gritted his teeth and asked as calmly as possible, "How many times are Qin Lu's skills left?"
Qin Lu said, "there's only one left."
Yue Xingwen: "Keep moving forward."
500 meters, teleport.
There was a fork in the road ahead.
The time has come to 7:30 pm, and the oxygen cylinder that comes with the escape cabin can support up to 8 pm. They must return before 8 o'clock and join Xin Yan and Lin Manluo.
There is still half an hour.
Choose one of three, with a 30% probability, Yue Xingwen would not dare to gamble at all.
He took a deep breath and his face was extremely serious: "Qin Lu uses the rotation of the globe to refresh all his skills. Brother Xu and Brother Zhuo take the left road, Ke Shaobin and Qin Lu take the middle road, Xiao Nian stays at the crossroads, and I take the right road. 20 In a few minutes, no matter if you can find a solution or not, return immediately and meet at the fork in the road!"
Several people nodded in understanding.
Although Zhang Xiaonian's bulldozer can be pushed all the way, the internal environment of the cave is special. If the bulldozer breaks the stone pillar and causes the entire cave to collapse, everyone will be instantly buried by countless stones. Yue Xingwen asked him to stay, but he didn't say anything, just waited there obediently.
Qin Lu took out the globe and forcibly made the globe rotate once, day and night changed, and all skills were refreshed on a new day. Yue Xingwen's "road" can be used again, which is why he dares to walk alone.
Qin Lu said: "My available plate transposition times have recovered to 12 times. But I have to leave at least 6 times for the return trip, so the distance I can go is only 6 times at most, which is 3,000 meters."
Ke Shaobin said: "In addition to the 1,000-meter detection distance of Xiaotu, the two of us can detect 4,000 meters ahead of the middle road, which should be enough."
Xu Yishen and Zhuo Feng's group can rely on mitosis and magnets to move forward quickly.
Zhuo Feng conjured up a ball of light and handed it to Yue Xingwen: "I have reduced the light, so let's use it for lighting. Although you can use your skills to open the way, you must pay attention to safety when you act alone."
Yue Xingwen nodded, and his right hand quickly summoned "Modern Idiom Dictionary" and "Modern Writers' Classic Anthology", using the idiom skill "Fast and Lightning" to increase the movement speed of all teammates by 500%. Then use Lu Xun's limited skill "Road".
Above the stones at the fork on the right, a smooth air road appeared magically.
Yue Xingwen walked to the road and looked back at his teammates: "Everyone take care, see you later!" After that, he ran forward at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
In a blink of an eye, his back disappeared at the end of the road.
Xu Yishen and Zhuo Feng looked at each other, Zhuo Feng simply took out the magnet: "Let's go!"
Ke Shaobin and Qin Lu acted at the same time.
We divided into three teams to find people.
Qin Lu's side is the fastest, teleporting 500 meters in one operation. Within 10 seconds, she and Ke Shaobin were back. Zhang Xiaonian was stunned for a while, and asked, "Come back so soon? Didn't you find Senior Brother Jiang?"
Ke Shaobin was helpless: "We only walked 1.5 kilometers, and we came to the end. There is no road ahead. The small map investigation did not find any new coordinates. It seems that the middle road is not the right choice."
Qin Lu thought for a while and said, "I still have 9 displacement skills left. To be on the safe side, I'll keep it for now. I'll definitely use it later when I retreat."
Ke Shaobin nodded: "Well, keep it, we have to go back to meet everyone."
At the same time, Xu Yishen and Zhuo Feng, who took the left fork, came to an abyss.
Xu Yishen stopped, Zhuo Feng picked up the ball of light to illuminate the surroundings, and threw one end of the magnet downward. However, after a long time, he could not hear the echo of the magnet landing. The dark abyss, bottomless, is like a hell with a big mouth open, which makes people psychologically uncontrollable and fearful.
The two immediately took a step back, and Xu Yishen's scalp was numb: "This is too deep, right? It feels like the entire planet has been dug through!"
Zhuo Feng frowned and said, "There is no road ahead, Jiang Pingce should not be here."
Xu Yishen said: "Maybe the road that Xingwen took to find Jiang Pingce, let's go back first?"
The two looked at each other, turned and walked back.
At this moment, Yue Xingwen was running all the way forward at the fastest speed.
With the help of the 5-fold acceleration of the "flash speed", his current running speed can even surpass the Olympic track and field champion. Coupled with the continuation of the "road" skill, where he passes, a flat road will be automatically generated, unaffected by the environment.
There are many strange stones around, and there are white icicles everywhere.
Yue Xingwen kept running forward on the road in the air, the oxygen cylinder on his back was quickly consumed due to the strenuous exercise, and a layer of white frost soon appeared on the oxygen mask. In his left hand he held the lighting ball given by Zhuo Feng, and in the backpack beside him was the heating kettle given to him by Xin Yan.
With severe physical exhaustion, Yue Xingwen's body gradually felt a little stiff. He raised his wristband and glanced at the time. There were still the last 5 minutes before the "fork in the road in 20 minutes" as he just said.
Desperate emotions were churning in his heart, but he didn't dare to stop at all!
Yue Xingwen gritted his teeth fiercely, and continued to run forward with stiff legs. At that moment, he even thought that as long as Jiang Pingce was safe and sound, he would be willing to pay any price!
After running for 15 minutes in a row, Yue Xingwen's physical strength was severely exhausted, his legs were so sore that he could hardly lift it, and his heart was beating fast due to the intense exercise. He pressed his chest, resisting the sourness in his nose and looked around...
At this moment, he suddenly saw a familiar triangle on a rock in front of him. The triangular ruler was as thin as a cicada's wing, but as sharp as a sword - it was the tool of the mathematics department that Jiang Pingce got!
As Yuexingwen continued to move forward, the number of triangle rulers also increased.
"Pingce!" Yue Xingwen shouted excitedly, and the obviously hoarse voice reverberated in the cave.
The next moment, I saw a figure suddenly fall from the sky, like a master of Qing Gong in a martial arts movie, and landed firmly beside him.
He turned his head, and sure enough, he met a pair of dark and deep eyes.
Those eyes were looking at him tenderly.
Finally found the joy of each other, let Yue Xingwen stretch out his arms without hesitation, and hug Jiang Pingce suddenly!
Jiang Pingce was about to speak, but Xingwen suddenly hugged him, he was stunned, and looked at the person in front of him unexpectedly. Soon, he found that Yue Xingwen in his arms was shaking slightly, the sweat on his hair had condensed into frost, his eyes were obviously red, and he was obviously very excited.
Jiang Pingce's heart softened suddenly, and he immediately reached out and hugged the other side.
The temperature from Jiang Pingce made Yue Xingwen's whole heart gradually warm, and the anxiety, anxiety, panic, and even despair that filled his heart just now were all swept away.
It was as if the dark clouds above were blown away and replaced by a bright sunny day. Yue Xingwen had a serious face all the way, and finally showed a relaxed smile: "I finally found you!"
Jiang Pingce rubbed his hair lightly and asked softly, "Why are you alone?"
Only then did Yue Xingwen realize that he was so emotional just now that he forgot that the two were no longer just friends, and hugged each other directly...
They also hugged often before, but this time the hug was different. In the case that the other party has already confessed, what is it to take the initiative to hug him? Indirectly agree
Yue Xing Wen's ears were hot, and he quickly stood up straight and said, "There is a fork in the road ahead, we have divided three teams to find you." His voice was a little hoarse and his breath was unstable. physical strength.
Jiang Pingce asked, "Have everyone else found it?"
Yue Xingwen nodded: "Well, you are the last one, in the deepest part of the cave."
Jiang Pingce could feel Xingwen's mood.
If it was him, if all the other teammates were found, Xingwen's whereabouts would be unknown, and he would go crazy. Xingwen had obviously been looking for him for several hours, and it was no wonder that the moment he found him, Xingwen would rush over and hug him.
Jiang Pingce felt a hint of warmth in his heart, stretched out his hand to help Yue Xingwen straighten his hair, and said, "Is there anything to keep you warm? After running all the way, is it frozen?"
Only then did Yue Xingwen realize that his body was numb from the cold. He hurriedly took out the warm water bottle that Xin Yan gave him from his backpack, opened the airtight cover, and took a few sips of hot water. Then, he handed the water bottle to Jiang Pingce, Jiang Pingce took it, and he didn't even bother to wipe it, so he poured a few mouthfuls of hot water directly at the place where Xingwen drank water.
Isn't that the same as indirect kissing
Yue Xingwen looked away, coughed, and changed the subject: "Why aren't you cold?" When Jiang Pingce hugged him back just now, his body temperature was normal.
"Meet everyone first, and I'll talk to you on the way." Jiang Pingce raised his right hand, quickly drew a Cartesian coordinate system, and skillfully wrote a formula, while his left hand gently hugged Yue Xingwen's waist and moved Yue Xing Wen took it into his arms.
The moment his body was vacated, Yue Xingwen felt at ease.
With the illumination of the light ball, the front view is bright. Jiang Pingce quickly adjusted the flight trajectory according to the orientation of the path of Yuexingwen. Compared with running with his legs, Jiang Pingce's way of moving forward is of course very labor-saving. What's more, Yue Xingwen really can't run now. He believes that Pingce will soon be able to bring him back to the fork to join his teammates.
Yue Xingwen turned to look at the people around him, and asked with concern, "I found a lot of triangles nearby, are you all right? Are you in danger?"
Jiang Pingce said: "It's fine. I landed at a high place. At that time, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. I didn't dare to fly with the coordinate system casually. The triangle ruler was used by me to shoot out to explore the way."
He paused for a while, then continued: "The triangle ruler hit a lot of stones and made clear echoes. I roughly calculated the surrounding environment based on the fluctuation of the sound. My location is more than 50 meters away from the ground. Because the ambient temperature outside is very high. Low, there are stones everywhere, it is not suitable for survival, and it is easy to be bumped and injured in the dark, so I stayed in the escape cabin and did not come out hastily.
He looked at Yue Xingwen and said softly, "Before I heard your footsteps, I planned to land in the dark and go out to find you."
Yue Xingwen listened to his story, and his nose was slightly sour - there were no teammates around, and he couldn't see anything in front of him. How did Jiang Pingce get here these few hours in the icy cave where he could not see his fingers
The densely packed triangular rulers inserted into the stones are the proof.
It is also thanks to his strong psychological quality that he can patiently use a triangle to detect the surrounding environment. If you were an ordinary person and spent hours alone in a dark cave, your mentality would have collapsed long ago.
Yue Xingwen pretended to be lighthearted and joked: "Aren't you afraid of being alone in a dark cave?"
Jiang Pingce said: "It's not that I'm afraid, I'm just a little worried."
Yue Xingwen answered subconsciously: "What are you worried about?"
Jiang Pingce's eyes were gentle: "I'm worried about you."
Yue Xingwen: "… "
Jiang Pingce said, "I was thinking, what would you do if you were in such an environment?"
Yue Xingwen couldn't help but said, "I can't protect myself, and I still have the mood to take care of others!"
Jiang Pingce asked back, "Aren't you worried about me too?"
Yue Xingwen could not refute at all.
He ran all the way, and when he saw Jiang Pingce's first glance, he jumped into the opponent's arms. Isn't this just worrying about the opponent's performance? How else could he explain
Seeing that Yue Xingwen didn't speak, Jiang Pingce gently held his hand and said softly, "Xingwen, when I saw you just now, you didn't know how happy I was."
Yue Xingwen: "… "
Actually so is he. When the ball of light illuminated the surroundings, when that familiar person fell from the sky and landed in front of him, Yue Xingwen was really happy - happy that the other party was safe and sound, happy that they could meet again.
At that moment, nothing else matters.
No matter if he is a boy or a girl, Yue Xingwen only knows that the most important person to him is standing beside him safely again.
Just like many times in the past, they stood side by side, smiled at each other, and had a tacit understanding.
As long as they have each other by their side, no matter how big the difficulty is, they will not be afraid.
Because they can face it together.
The cloud and fog lingering in Yue Xingwen's heart seemed to be gently pushed away by a pair of hands, and the strong feeling gradually became clear and clear - in fact, he had more than good feelings for Jiang Pingce.
In the few hours that Jiang Pingce could not be found, he experienced anxiety, anxiety and panic for the first time in his life, and for the first time he knew that he could not lose a person. That person, in his heart, is no longer just a friend. But more important than friends, the most special existence.
He wondered if this kind of feeling could be called love? He only knew that Jiang Pingce's position in his heart could no longer be replaced by anyone.
Sensing that Jiang Pingce was holding his hand, Yue Xingwen's cheeks were slightly hot, but he did not break free. He tentatively, carefully held the other party back, and said softly, "It's fine if you're fine."
Jiang Pingce's back froze suddenly when he was held back, and he held Yue Xingwen's hand even harder, which is the most intimate way of interlocking fingers.
He whispered: "I won't let myself have an accident. Because, I still have many wishes that have not been fulfilled."
Yue Xingwen: "… "
Your wish, including me
In fact, don't ask, Yue Xingwen knew what Jiang Pingce meant.
He will find a more suitable time, think about it clearly, and have a good chat with Jiang Pingce. As for now, several classmates are still waiting for them at the fork in the road. The two of them are chatting and chatting, and the classmates are dying.
Yue Xingwen coughed lightly and said, "My wish will always be realized slowly, let's go out alive and talk about it."
The corners of Jiang Pingce's lips raised slightly: "Well."
Xingwen took the initiative to hug him and held his hand back...
It seems that Yue Xingwen, who knows nothing about emotions, has finally come to his senses
