Cui Zuojing was tired and hungry. The venison he and Heinrich had eaten in the morning had already been digested. His stomach was empty and a little uncomfortable.
He and Dong Zheng were leaning against each other, resting against the wall of the cave. The man closed his eyes quietly and rested. If it wasn't for the prisoner link telling him that Dong Zheng was also hungry, looking at this calm performance, Cui Zuojing would really think that Dong Zheng was a Iron man.
Cui Zuojing moved around dishonestly, which made him uncomfortable.
If he was with other people in the team, Lin Hangzhi, Allen or whoever, he would never have such an unsteady performance, but now, he knew that Dong Zheng didn't care, No matter what kind of thoughts he has, it doesn't matter if he fully expresses them. Anyway, the two have a connection, and even if they don't say it, they will be perceived.
Suddenly, the young man had an idea: "Let me go back to the prisoner's space to eat something, I'll come out when I'm full."
Dong Zheng opened his eyes and didn't say much nonsense. He tapped his fingers to draw a mark in the air, and the coat of arms flashed on the back of his hand, and Cui Zuojing disappeared beside him.
He was the only one left in the empty underground cavity.
This is what Dong Zheng has been familiar with since he was a child, lonely.
Cui Zuojing returned to the prisoner's space, and immediately imagined what he wanted to eat on a table, ate it upside down, and enjoyed a barbecue.
Dong Zheng glanced in through his consciousness and stopped peeping. There is nothing more painful than watching others feast on an empty stomach.
Cui Zuojing had a full meal, and his mouth was full of oil. He didn't forget his starving companions outside, so he quickly went out to accompany Dong Zheng.
Of course, he couldn't bring out the things in the prisoner's space either.
The two people were starving and became starving alone. Cui Zuojing was still a little embarrassed. He sat down beside Dong Zheng and saw that the man had been resting with his eyes closed, and said, "Sleep for a while, I see. on."
Dong Zheng nodded and did not refuse, he was really tired.
Cui Zuojing pushed him slightly, patted his thigh when Dong Zheng opened his eyes and asked with his eyes, and said, "Give you a chance to sleep comfortably, would you like it?"
Dong Zheng thought he had misunderstood: "What?"
"For the sake of saving my life, let you sleep comfortably." Cui Zuojing said while pressing Dong Zheng's shoulder down, Dong Zheng hurriedly supported the ground and asked, "You let me I'm leaning on your leg?"
There was a bit of disbelief in his words, Cui Zuojing lowered his head and looked at him for a second, then pouted: "If you don't want to, forget it, I have good intentions, why are you still awkward."
"That's not what I meant." Dong Zheng hurriedly lay down before he went back on his words, "I always thought you didn't like excessively intimate contact with people."
"Where did you see it?" Cui Zuojing was a little curious, "I think I've always acted like a normal person."
"…Maybe I'm too sensitive."
"Go to sleep, don't waste time, you rest for a while to nourish your spirit, and we will start again, we can't stay here." Cui Zuojing put a hand over Dong Zheng's eyes, "It's dark, sleep Go to sleep."
like a child.
This thought flashed through Dong Zheng's mind, and he quickly suppressed all his thoughts and ideas in his heart to prevent it from being transmitted to Cui Zuojing by the spiritual link.
He rested on the boy's thigh, turned his back up, and felt the wonderful softness in this dark and cold underground cavity.
Although Cui Zuojing looked thin, he did have a lot of flesh on his body, all of which were grown in places that were difficult for others to notice on weekdays.
The hand covering Dong Zheng's eyes was removed, and he brushed his eyelashes slightly.
Dong Zheng actually wanted to feel the sudden surprise for a while longer, but he was too tired. The closure of the pain port, the forced enhancement of vision, and the injuries of him and Cui Zuojing all caused a great mental load.
In just a few breaths, he fell into a deep sleep.
Cui Zuojing sighed silently, leaned his back against the wall of the cave, and lowered his head to observe Dong Zheng who was lying on his lap—it could be seen that Dong Zheng was really tired, and after lacking deliberate control, he finally showed his fullness in his sleep. His face was tired, and there was a short layer of stubble on his chin. The sloppy look was very unlike his usual style, but it didn't look ugly.
There was only the sound of water dripping from the top of the cave quietly all around. Cui Zuojing slowly thought about everything that had happened since he entered the box, combing through clues that might be related.
There were 31 pilgrims in the original box of 30 people. The person who died of brain tissue damage at the beginning can be regarded as the monster who died hidden on the ship for the time being, but there seems to be something wrong.
They have already landed on Dusk Island, and they have seen many anomalous creatures on it, and they have not found any one that can have that ability.
There are also the box and the inverted pentagram found in the power cabin. Dong Zheng said that he sensed the energy of chaos from the box, and Anzu Niao came to him and completely took the box away.
And... The taciturn Domingo, a Spanish man with an inexplicable relationship with their team, seems to have an encyclopedia and customs clearance in his head, with a superb weapon.
Cui Zuojing stroked it again, only to tell him that the biggest variable in this box, the most critical place, might be Domingo.
Now this person doesn't know where he was teleported to by the black fog. Cui Zuojing thought about it carefully and felt... There seems to be an inexplicable rivalry and hostility between Domingo and Dong Zheng
He logically understood this as a confrontation between two male creatures about strength.
Dong Zheng was lying on his lap, and Cui Zuojing couldn't move, so he leaned on the stone wall to rest, and counted Dong Zheng's eyelashes one by one with the blue light of the accompanying crystal ore in his boredom.
Dong Zheng said that he looked more like his mother, and although he had never seen that woman, Cui Zuojing still guessed that she must be a great beauty.
After counting the eyelashes, he began to count Dong Zheng's beard, and took out a piece of paper, trying to secretly use the power of the slayer to fix it for him.
An hour and a half later, feeling that the fluctuations from the prisoner link had stabilized, Cui Zuojing patted Dong Zheng on the shoulder and woke him up.
Dong Zheng frowned and opened his eyes. It took him two seconds to realize what the soft "pillow" was under his head.
"How long have I slept?"
Cui Zuojing grabbed his hand and glanced at his watch: "An hour and a half."
Dong Zheng let out a low hum. He slept peacefully this time. It didn't look like he was staying in the cave where the prehistoric giant Leviathan was touched just now. The rest during the tense moments was very effective. He slept well. It didn't take long, but the whole person was much more energetic.
Dong Zheng knew in his heart that it was only because Cui Zuojing was by his side, and he believed that no matter what happened, the young man would not let him suddenly fall into danger.
He propped himself up and sat up, feeling a little chilly on the side of his cheeks, raised his hand to touch, only to realize that his temples had disappeared at some point.
Dong Zheng:
Cui Zuojing turned his head away innocently, staring at a crystal on the wall of the cave, as if he could see some flowers from above.
Dong Zheng lowered his head and saw the black stubble scattered on the boy's pants.
Dong Zheng: … … … … … … … … …
Dong Zheng hurriedly touched his entire head, and after making sure that his hair was not shaved, he sighed and patted Cui Zuojing's pants.
Cui Zuojing, who realized that he had been discovered: ... ... ... ... ... ...
"Let's go." Dong Zheng didn't mention it again, there was no mirror, and he didn't know what Cui Zuojing made him look like, but it didn't matter.
Cui Zuojing was relieved to see that he didn't pursue it, and he was a little regretful that he couldn't tell. After he shaved Dong Zheng's sideburns by the way, he had already thought about the response, but now he can't use it.
Time was frozen at the age of sixteen for eight years. If he did not break out in silence, he would become perverted in silence. Cui Zuojing had long discovered that unknowingly, he was sometimes very cheap, such as now.
The two explored this huge underground space again. Compared with the haste when they first arrived, they are now much more careful in order to find their way out.
Soon Cui Zuojing found a dark passage on the other side of the lake, meandering and didn't know where to go.
They went in one after the other and walked through the underground world.
It seems that the closer you get to the cavity, the more crystal ores that are associated with it. As they advance, the cave becomes dark again, and soon Cui Zuojing can't see anything.
He took the same method as when he came, holding Dong Zheng's hand and letting him lead the way.
There seemed to be no other creatures in the cave except for the two of them. There were no fish in the underground river. Except for the sound of water dripping, it was the breathing of the two of them, which was terribly quiet.
I don't know how long it took, maybe two hours? Anyway, Cui Zuojing was held by Dong Zheng throughout the whole process, and he had given up most of his thinking. He would follow Dong Zheng wherever he went.
The wind blows from afar.
Cui Zuojing was shocked, and his consciousness immediately returned to the cage. He trotted forward a few steps in the dark, dragged Dong Zheng and asked, "Is there an exit ahead?"
Dong Zheng gave him a positive answer.
After five hours into the cave from the canyon, the two were finally back on the ground.
Feeling the wind on the land, his eyes caught the moonlight and starlight again, and the sound of the blowing of the forest tips rustled in his ears, Cui Zuojing finally breathed a sigh of relief, because the surrounding environment remained unchanged and the nerves that had not been stimulated for a long time were already Weak, and now slowly revived.
Cui Zuojing carefully observed the stars in the sky, saw the North Star he was looking for, and judged that they were now in the diagonal northeast of the island.
There is no sound of the waves, and this is not by the sea.
The two walked another distance, and there seemed to be a water surface reflecting starlight in front of them. When they got close, Dong Zheng realized that there was a swamp in front of them.
This is a typical mangrove swamp. The uneven mangrove roots are tied together and entangled together, dividing the swamp into several independent but connected water channels.
Shrubs and reeds are competed by mangroves to survive the sun, and grow sparsely on the shore.
Cui Zuojing picked up a stone and threw it with force. With a plop, the stone fell into the water, and soon fell into the thick silt below, startling one or two waterfowl that were resting, and Zhang Huang flew away in a panic.
Dong Zheng turned around and found that to get out of here, they had to cross the swamp.
"The box is deliberately making trouble for us." Cui Zuojing said. As we all know, there are often many animals and tangled plants lurking in the swamp, and crossing the swamp is definitely a serious challenge for humans.
"It shouldn't be too troublesome." Dong Zheng found a small wooden boat on the shore not far away, probably left by the British expedition in the past. The boat is not big and can only seat four people.
He checked and found that the damage was not serious and it was still usable.
Cui Zuojing came over, bowed and picked up the oar that had been completely corroded into black around the water plants, and said, "Okay, it seems that I can only use it."
