Chapter 29: The Edge of Doom (29) End of the Road
No matter how difficult food is to eat, it is a supreme life-sustaining medicine for Mo Chen now. Fortunately, they are trapped in the pharmacy, at least there is no need to worry about it now, colds and fevers will kill people.
The days of food being cut off are not easy. During these times, Mo Chen and others have been trying to find a way to leave here, even if they are just leaving this floor.
Only when we return to the top can Mo Chen and the others have a better chance to regain freedom.
Everyone took turns using the broken copper and iron that could be picked up on the site and made a few simple tools to dig out the gravel on the stairs. Mo Chen suddenly felt like Yugong was moving the mountain.
In his spare time, Mo Chen would occasionally stare at the crystal left by Zheng Yi. He didn't know if it was a reflection or something. The crystal emitted light from time to time, which would always hinder Mo Chen's heart.
The gravel and floor slabs blocked at the entrance of the stairs seemed endless, dug out some recesses into a place. When everyone thought victory was in sight, new gravel and sand would slide from it.
In the past few hours, Xiaohao has been extremely quiet. In such a lifeless place, even the child has no energy to be naive.
Russell knelt on the ground, with his legs bent for his son to use as a pillow. With the previous holidays and the long-term depressing environment, he was annoying. The followers always asked Russell for trouble from time to time, blaming her for not digging out the exits, only knowing how to use the elderly, weak, women and children as excuses to wait for others to do everything.
Mo Chen doesn't care about these things. Why bother with hardships? Besides, the other party is a woman. A large group that leaves society, women and children have much lower abilities to survive than men.
Mo Chen was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He sat by the wall and rested. Professor Wen used an empty medicine bottle to pick up some water stored in the water truck and handed it to Mo Chen.
"Thank you!" Mo Chen said.
Professor Wen sat next to the ground, while Li Fang and Li Chao took over Mo Chen's "work" and continued to dig.
Mo Chen took a sip of water, moistened his throat simply, and quickly twisted the bottle cap. Now the food is out of stock, and water is the only supply for everyone. Although Mo Chen is really thirsty, he cannot quote it presumptuously.
Mo Chen licked his lips and asked, "How much water is left?"
Professor Wen sighed, "Not much, if we save money, we can barely hold on for another two days."
Mo Chen didn't say anything, and he felt very uncomfortable. He died of thirst or starved to death, which is probably the most painful of all the ways to die!
Another thing is what Mo Chen is most worried about. When there is no food or water in the end, everyone will be confused in the end. The scene that Mo Chen is most afraid of is that it appears among them. Someone extends his claws to others in order to survive.
If you can’t do people, you will be in the Avici Hell...
"Actually, we still have a way out now." Professor Wen said in a voice that only he and Mo Chen could hear.
Mo Chen's eyes trembled. These days, they had tried many ways, and they had thought of turning back from where they fell. But not to mention, the entrance was blocked by gravel. Even if it could pass, they could not resist gravity and crawl back like a mouse.
These days, Mo Chen and Li Fang have been young and strongly responsible for excavation work. Professor Wen has been surrounding the first floor, knocking here from time to time. Let's take a look, can he find something?
"You said." Mo Chen said.
Professor Wen did not speak, but stared straight into Mo Chen's eyes, which made Mo Chen very uncomfortable, as if Professor Wen wanted to see through his soul.
"I don't know whether I can survive, but at least, now that we want to leave this floor, you are the key figure in the top priority." Professor Wen said seriously.
"Me?" Mo Chen shouted in surprise. Professor Wen immediately waved his hand to signal Mo Chen not to speak.
Mo Chen glanced around, but fortunately no one paid attention to them. Mo Chen was a little confused. What exactly was Professor Wen going to say? It was so mysterious.
As if he heard Mo Chen’s voice, Professor Wen explained, “I am not sure now, so before that, it’s better not to give them hope, right!”
Mo Chen nodded and signaled Professor Wen to say something.
Professor Wen stared at Mo Chen's eyes seriously and asked, "You are the god descendants who inherited Zeus' power, right?"
Outside the theme gate, Mo Chen had fought with Xu Bin. I think Professor Wen should have been confirmed at that time Mo Chen's divine attribute.
Mo Chen nodded and admitted that there was nothing to hide in this matter. They had been assigned to two opposing camps. Even now, Professor Wen and his party will know his attributes sooner or later.
Professor Wen continued, "Before we fall, you have the power of the gods, right?"
Mo Chen looked at Professor Wen in confusion. Since Mo Chen's ability to connect dreams and reality has improved, no ordinary player has been able to detect this. With this alone, Mo Chen felt that Professor Wen is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
"Professor," Mo Chen was about to ask a question, but Professor Wen praised first, "You have connected dreams with reality very well. At least they didn't realize that they could climb into the entrance and exit smoothly, all rely on your strength. The roof of the house did not collapse, otherwise we would have been buried there alive long ago. Where else can we come here!"
Mo Chen was not complacent because of Professor Wen's praise. He could hear that Professor Wen had not said the second half of the words.
Sure enough, Professor Wen said, "I think you can try again and blow a hole out of it."
Professor Wen's eyes were full of expectations, and Mo Chen's heart skipped a beat. He had never had such thoughts. Even when everyone was asleep, Mo Chen had secretly created a dream and exploded the blocked "stone wall" in the dream.
However, when Mo Chen returned to reality, the wall was still steadily blocked there without any change.
Seeing that Mo Chen's face was solemn and he didn't reply for a long time, Professor Wen seemed to realize something, and Professor Wen asked, "This time it won't work?"
Mo Chen nodded heavily, "Maybe I haven't mastered my kung fu!" This is the fact that Mo Chen is most reluctant to admit. For a long time, although he has never wanted to be the backbone and leader of all players, he still hopes that he will not only not drag him down, but also occasionally make some substantial contributions to this player team.
Professor Wen pushed down his glasses and lowered his head slightly as if thinking, "Oh...I probably understand..."
This sounded particularly harsh to Mo Chen, but this is the fact. He didn't want to show off his strength, and he blew himself up in a mess without real ability.
However, to Mo Chen's surprise, Professor Wen immediately murmured, "You have not fully understood the power of the gods..."
