Chapter Forty-Four: Choosing an Exit

  Friends who like Guiguzuan Juan, please join the group: 63349218 Seeking collection, flowers, VIP and more. Just as I was about to speak, Ali said something that surprised me greatly.

  "Since everyone has their own say here, why don't we talk about it after we go out?" Ali suggested at the right moment when the atmosphere was rising.

  When I heard Ali's words, everyone lost their voice. I was very curious. ** and Ali had always been very close, just like brothers. According to common sense, Ali should have spoken for **, but at this time, Ali did not stand on **'s side, but instead remained neutral. This made me feel extremely surprised.

  Could it be that Ali had seen the corpse poison and that's why he was like this? After a moment's thought, I immediately felt that something was not right. According to the relationship between Ali and ***, Ali would absolutely never do such a thing. In the past, when we were in Shenyang, I had heard many stories about *** and Ali. They had been through thick and thin together, their feelings for each other deeper than those of biological brothers.

  Even if he could betray and abandon his faith, even if it was a matter of selling out his own brother, Ali couldn't do it. In the past, Ali had been known for being loyal in our circle of friends.

  I took a look at Ali behind Da Zhuang, his expression was not pretentious at all, very serious. On the other hand, **felt extremely surprised, possibly also wondering why Ali didn't stand up for himself and speak up for him.

  Dazhuang saw Ali say so, and didn't ask what had happened before. In order to prevent me and ** from making more trouble together, he didn't let ** get too close to me either.

  "Cough... I'm asking you, Little Song brother, how did you get into this tomb? And earlier you said you came with friends, but they're all dead. What's going on?" Da Zhuang asked.

  Then Da Zhuang took out a cigarette and match from his pocket, handed the cigarette to Song Bo, who shook his head indicating he didn't know how. Da Zhuang put the cigarette in his mouth, and with a "zip" sound, the cigarette was lit by the match.

  This stone room is not cold, and it's quite different from the ice crystal tunnel before. If the ice crystal tunnel was outside, then this stone room can be said to be indoors, where matches can be easily lit.

  Song Bo looked at me, then looked around and scratched the back of his head. "My friend and I came here to explore ancient ruins. Everything was going smoothly until we accidentally triggered a mechanism down there. As a result, all my friends died. If I hadn't run fast, I would have lost my life too."

  I don't know if Da Zhuang understood, but he nodded and took a drag on his cigarette. "Whose tomb is this anyway? It's built like a damn maze! Little Song, do you know how to get out of here?"

  "It's doable, but very dangerous." Song Bo said, pinching Junxiu's left cheek with his right hand, and continued, "That's the next tomb raid, enter the main chamber through the stone room below. According to the structure of this tomb, the main chamber can be exited." As he spoke, Song Bo pointed to the tomb raid beside me.

  Dazhuang looked at the thief cave pointed by Song Bo, and put on a thoughtful look.

  Listening to Song Bo's words, I became interested, but after thinking about it, I felt that some things didn't add up. Firstly, Song Bo knew how to escape from this ancient tomb, but he had been here for almost a year without using any method to hibernate, why didn't he escape during this year? Secondly, according to the structure map of this ancient tomb, there was another exit in the stone room where the empty coffin was floating in mid-air before, but Song Bo said that he could get out from the main tomb chamber, which made me feel puzzled.

  Are we being asked to go and die? But I thought about it immediately and found it unrealistic. Even if he killed us, what could he gain from it?

  "Isn't the exit in that stone chamber with empty coffins? How can you say it's in the main burial chamber?" I asked.

  After hearing what I said, Dazhuang and others also looked at Song Bo with their eyes, after all, this is about the lives of everyone.

  Song Bo looked at me, sighed and said "Good heavens, have you forgotten your masterpiece? Big brother, the corpse is still in that stone room. Do you want us to all become zombies and run outside to harm people?" When he said this, I don't know if it was my imagination or not, but I noticed Song Bo glanced at ** a few times.

  When I heard Song Bo say that, I suddenly remembered that the corpse was still in that stone room. If we leave from that stone room, even if we get out, we'll probably all be poisoned by the corpse poison. Being poisoned is the lightest punishment; at least we're still alive. But if we're all torn to pieces by the corpse in that stone room, then it's really our own fault.

  I almost forgot, but you mentioned the exit of the main tomb chamber. What's with this exit?

  Song Bo smiled and said, "That's right, it's like that now. There's no other way out. We can only take a risk. If we go through the exit of the stone chamber, we'll be throwing ourselves into the tiger's mouth. But if we go through the main tomb chamber's exit, we still have a chance to survive."

  As I watched Da Zhuang and the others look confused, I explained it to them again. In the end, they decided to follow Song Bo's words. If we didn't take the exit from the main tomb chamber, then there was only the exit with the empty coffin. But that exit had those terrifying corpse-eating insects; whoever it was wouldn't choose that exit. We also didn't have much time now. The food on our bodies was originally not a lot, and now we had Song Bo as an extra person, so the food would last even less time. Our only solution now was to quickly escape this ancient tomb, or else we'd starve to death here.

  As for why Song Bo used a strange method to put himself into hibernation here for almost a year without escaping, it has always made me curious. I also asked Song Bo, but he didn't tell me, only saying that he would tell me after we got out.

  Since others have already said so, I'd better stop asking and just be more vigilant.

  Then we sat in the original place and ate some food that was brought out earlier, drank some water and prepared to enter the tomb where a small group of personnel from the organization that killed Song Bo were buried.

  Just as we were about to stand up, Song Bo clapped his hands and said, "Wait a minute, before we go down, I have something to tell you guys."
