Chapter 60: It's Great to Be Alive

  I heard Zhou Huan say that with such a lack of confidence, my heart suddenly cooled down. We've been through countless difficulties on this journey and now the treasure is already in our hands. I didn't expect to fail because of these insects in the end.

  I'm not willing to give up like this, I lift my head and see that Hei Lian has already pulled away from us by some distance, so once again I start climbing upwards, no other choice, can't just wait to be eaten by these insects!

  At this time, I suddenly vaguely guessed that the mysterious troops before might also have been attacked by these countless insects, which led to their hasty retreat.

  After climbing for a while, I found that we were about to catch up with Hei Lian again, so Zhou Huan and I stopped once more.

  Looking down, this time we don't need to shoot again. Those humanoid monsters all burst open by themselves, countless insects completely covered the walls of the deep pit, densely packed like waves, and it seemed that they were about to catch up with us.

  Seeing this scene, I really felt like giving up. I raised my head and shouted at Liangzi and Heilian: "Liangzi, Captain... don't run anymore, you can't escape..."

  I wailed miserably several times, but Hei Lian seemed to have not heard me and continued to carry Liangzi up with difficulty.

  I also had no strength to continue shouting, hanging my head and starting to feel a little sad. I just learned part of the truth and died like this, it's really not reconciled. But now except for jumping down, there is no other way, and I don't know what it will be like to be eaten by so many insects. Anyway, I estimate it can't be too comfortable!

  Thinking of this, I went to see Zhou Huan again and found that she was also looking at me with a helpless face. It seems that the tomb raider of this international organization has no way to deal with the attack of these thousands of insects either.

  "Give up......" I slapped my forehead hard and completely decided to give up.

  But this time I used too much force, and the nose that had already stopped bleeding was broken again by me, and the blood flowed back.

  At this time, Zhou Huan suddenly shouted: "Qiu Ye, your blood, try your blood..."

  My whole body shook, and I thought to myself, "Right! Just now, I was heartbroken there, forgetting my special physique, and I don't know if my blood has any effect on these bugs. But it's still necessary to try."

  But the blood flowing out of my nose was too little, and after wiping it twice, it stopped.

  In desperation, I also let go, I pulled out the dagger and bit my teeth, and cut a knife on my arm, immediately a stream of bright red blood flowed out.

  The wound was cut a bit deep, and it hurt so much that I screamed, but saving my life was more important, and I didn't care about these things anymore. I quickly applied the blood from the wound to my face and body.

  I reckon the bleeding has almost stopped, so I shouted at Zhou Huan: "Think of a way to get over here, I still have some blood left."

  We were not far apart to begin with, Zhou Huan swung a few times and climbed onto Hei Lian's iron chain, and once again reached my feet. I quickly bent down and stretched out my bleeding arm, shouting loudly: "Hurry up and apply it to your body, last time I borrowed some urine from you, now use blood to repay you, how is that? Enough for you guys?"

  Zhou Huan didn't think I could still make jokes at this time, she smiled sweetly at me without saying a word, probably acknowledging what I said.

  When we finished applying the stuff, the first batch of bugs had already arrived nearby. We stood still in tension, not daring to move. If this blood doesn't work, I'm ready to jump down directly.

  It seems that we are not destined to die, the insects that reached our side retreated in a hurry as if they had encountered a great danger.

  Originally, their insect waves were very rhythmic and rhythmic, but this time they were messed up, large pieces of insects began to fall down, as the insects behind continued to move forward, it was like there was an invisible protective circle around us, blocking all the insects at a distance of half a meter.

  But the number of bugs was too much, they didn't dare to approach us, and directly bypassed us upwards. I thought it was bad, if they caught up with Hei Lian, the two would definitely die.

  "Go on, hurry up and catch up with the captain." Zhou Huan shouted loudly under my feet.

  I had already started climbing even before she shouted, this time I didn't have to worry about being attacked by insects, so I climbed very smoothly, and for the first time ever, I felt like I had superhuman strength, such intense exercise still didn't make me feel too tired.

  I almost caught up with Hei Lian and Liang Zi, because after all, there was some distance between us, and I didn't have time to help them apply it. I gritted my teeth, cut another wound on my arm, and then directly raised my hand and splashed the blood that flowed out onto Hei Lian's and Liang Zi's bodies.

  This knife might have really cut into the aorta, and blood wouldn't stop flowing. My black face and Liangzi's face were covered in it everywhere. The bugs that had reached their bodies started falling off in sheets.

  When I saw that everyone was temporarily safe, I felt a sudden dizziness as soon as my mood relaxed, and almost fell down. I guess it's probably because of excessive blood loss.

  "Qiu Ye, how are you?" Zhou Huan shouted and climbed to the iron chain on my other side, a few steps to my side to ask about my injury.

  "I'm fine, just lost too much blood, don't worry about me, hurry up and keep climbing."

  "It's nothing, hurry up and think of a way to stop the bleeding!" Zhou Huan shouted anxiously.

  I looked down at my arm, blood still slowly flowing out, but I felt a sense of comfort, and only this way could I better resist those insects.

  I shook my head hard, trying to clear it, and then said: "It's too late, the bugs are getting more and more, don't worry about me, hurry up and go upwards, they won't attack me."

  Zhou Huan heard me say that and shouted at the black-faced men: "You go first, don't worry about us after you leave, hurry up and get out of here."

  Hei Lian was carrying Liangzi on his back after all. He didn't stay any longer, I looked up and saw him glance at me before continuing to climb upwards.

  I reckon by now we've climbed more than half of it. If I hadn't lost too much blood, with a bit more effort, I'd be able to make it up there.

  But now I'm standing with difficulty, can only pass through the iron chain to interlock my fingers of both hands, trying my best to maintain balance and not fall off.

  Zhou Huan saw my situation and, in a state of urgency, began to swing her iron chain. She reached out and grabbed me, first using her foot to hook my iron chain to fix her own body in place. Then, she stretched out her hand and pulled hard on the back of her own chest, tearing off the vest inside to prepare bandages for me.

  I pushed her away weakly and said, "Look at you, usually so clever... but now you're stupid. If we don't bandage it well, the two of us will still die..."

  "Qiu Ye, you damn idiot, stop moving around and let me bandage you quickly!" Zhou Huan also really got anxious and yelled at me loudly.

  I struggled to lift my head and stared at her chest, smiling: "Beauty, you're showing a bit."

  After saying this sentence, I couldn't hold on any longer and weakly let go of his hand...

  "No...!"

  I plummeted downwards at a rapid pace, only to feel the rush of wind by my ears. I thought it was just the speed of my fall that caused it, but then I heard a strange, piercing scream right next to my ear.

  Still in a daze and before I could react, I felt like my clothes were caught on something, and immediately my falling body stopped, and then it actually started rising up.

  I don't understand what's going on either, I looked up and saw Zhou Huan hanging from the iron chain, staring at me in horror. A little further up, I found Hei Lian carrying a beam, and two people were also turning their heads to look back.

  Then I sped up and finally saw a bright light in front of me, and inexplicably got out of this deep pit. Then, holding my stuff, it put me on the ground.

  I used my last bit of strength to lift my head and look, in the last moment before I lost consciousness, I saw a group of 'ghost children', the same thing that blocked our way in the skull grass, running towards me.

  Hehe, escaped from insects, what's the use? Can't fall down, how about it? Still have to die anyway...

  In a daze, I vaguely saw a tall foreigner wearing brand new military uniform, laughing loudly and hugging some people in different clothes.

  They looked particularly excited, with their mouths wide open and exaggerated facial expressions, as if they had just won a big prize, jumping up and down.

  The scene changed instantly, and the scene in front of me suddenly changed to another scene. Everywhere was disheveled soldiers, rushing frantically in one direction, they looked extremely frightened, as if they had encountered something particularly terrifying.

  The people running behind didn't know what they were attacked by, fell to the ground and started rolling around. I walked forward to check, just saw one of them frantically scratching their head, screaming in pain.

  But his voice soon stopped, because I saw many insects the size of cigarettes, all scrambling to drill into his mouth, nose and eyes, and then the insects on that person's body became more and more, quickly covering him up and becoming invisible.

  "Ah...... damn bug......" I let out a loud scream.

  "Hey, hey, wake up."

  "Qiu Ye, Qiu Ye, how are you feeling..."

  I was in a daze and heard someone calling my name, when I opened my eyes, it turned out to be daytime, and a dazzling light immediately shone over.

  I quickly closed my eyes and then found a hand blocking my view. It wasn't until I got used to the sunlight that the hand slowly moved away.

  As I was lifted up by someone and sat up with my upper body, I opened my eyes to look around and found that Liangzi and Zhou Huan were staring at me with tense faces. Not far in front of me, Hei Lian was quietly sitting under a big tree resting.

  What's going on? Didn't I die, but what about the strange scene I saw just now?

  "Qiu Ye, how are you feeling? Do you want to eat something?" I was recalling the terrifying scene from my dream just now when Zhou Huan spoke beside my ear.

  I turned around and took a look at her, and my first impression was that this woman is really beautiful!

  He laughed and went to see Liangzi, who had a silly smile on his face and said loudly: "I knew it, I said you little devil wouldn't die so easily, damn it, you scared me to death."

  "What's going on? I shouldn't be dead?" I asked.

  "Hey, never mind, I've never encountered such a strange thing in my life."

  "What exactly happened? How did we get out, and who saved me?"

  Liangzi saw that I was basically fine, and gently patted my shoulder, saying with great emotion: "When you've recovered, I'll tell you slowly, anyway it's really good to be alive, it's really damn good!"
