The Dead Zone: Maya Stela - C59

Unprepared, I felt his back solidified into an iron plate that would protect me from any incoming disaster.

It was a lie to say that I was unmoved. I repeated his words over and over in my heart. How long have I known Elder Li? He hasn’t even been here for half a month!

The flight of stairs spiraled upwards. On one side, there was a wall, and on the other side, there was no railing. If one didn’t pay attention to this, they would be thrown off at an angle.

My feet would have glued to the steps, but there was always a force that sent my whole body into the hollow of the beast’s head, and I had to hold on to a cold sweat all the time.

Elder Li suddenly stopped and whispered, “Be careful.” Just as he said that, a low but clear sound of music came from the side of the wall. It sounded like a flute hitting the ground. I was shocked and almost lost my balance and took two steps back.

The sound was like a sob, low but clear. It was currently swirling in circles in the large, enclosed abdominal cavity. The voice that made people mourn was filled with a bit of mystery and shock.

I stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked over my shoulder. I saw that there were a few holes drilled into the indentation, and that was where the sound came from.

I don’t believe that there’s anything fishy going on here, and I don’t believe that this is natural. However, it was just a voice. No matter how sorrowful it was, it couldn’t possibly move me to jump down from here.

Elder Li, however, didn’t move. His body was stiff. Did this sudden change scare the old man silly?

“Clang!”

At that moment, a deep, deep whine from the top of my head came rushing down from above, making me feel a tingle in the top of my head. It was as if he was completely suppressed by the voice. He was like a mountain of five fingers, unable to move. When he regained his senses, his entire body was drenched in cold sweat.

Just when I thought it was all over, my eardrums suddenly began to tingle, and after a short, sharp, buzzing sound, I couldn’t hear anything, but I could feel my eardrums and skull start to tremble together. It wasn’t painful, but very uncomfortable.

Elder Li still did not move. The giant bell only chimed for a moment at the beginning, but it seemed as if everything had come alive. Ding ding dang dang dang. There was the sound of bells and the sound of a lute that came from nowhere.

This voice didn’t have any destructive power. I casually lowered my head and looked down. The only thing I felt was that the flashlight was exceptionally bright and that the light was orange in color. His heart thumped.

If anything goes wrong, there must be a demon. I immediately shone my flashlight on the ceiling. The light below did not disappear. Instead, it rose higher and higher, circling and whistling along the path we had taken. The sound of the music is like an accelerating agent, the red dot rushing faster and faster, a fierce breath passed by me!

I immediately prepared to take two steps forward and pull Elder Li down. How could that be a red dot! Those were sparks!

That golden color was not an ornament at all! It was the fuse!

The moment I touched it, not only was Elder Li’s body stiff, it was also ice-cold. Panicking, I shouted: “Elder Li! Elder Li! ”

There was no reaction at all.

As the sparks continued to rise, my heart sank. However, the spark that was about to disappear was already so small that it could not be seen! No matter what Elder Li did, he immediately pulled him down the stairs. Elder Li’s body didn’t stiffen, but his two legs didn’t cooperate to react, so I just dragged him down the stairs. Elder Li didn’t seem to notice, every time his toes hit my ankles, and in my panic, he almost fell to the ground.

That definitely won’t do. I grind my teeth and threw Slight Chill’s body on my back. It would be easier for her to run if she increased the friction, but the higher-ups didn’t even give me a chance — — “Boom!”

The orange glow that exploded from the highest point illuminated the steps below.

F * ck! There was another lap!

I took a few large strides and started walking down the few steps. When I wasn’t far from the ground, I jumped down and landed on the ground. Elder Li, who was lying on my back, made my chest hurt!

Concealment! Where was the cover? The slate we just came in on!

I opened my eyes wide, searching for the tiny crack in the falling pebbles, but before I could take a step —

Boom!

“Boom!” “Boom!”

Crack! Crack! A rock the size of a palm hit my shoulder. Elder Li, who was on my back, shook as if something heavy had hit me!

Elder Li!

I almost buried my head in my shoulder, kicked off the flagstone and was about to go down, when I remembered that Elder Li was still bearing the falling stone for me and was about to send him down with a flip of my body. Boom! *

His back sank and a cold, viscous liquid splattered on my body. He felt a strong smell of rust on his back.

Elder Li!

The sudden weight caused me to be unable to move. The exit was right below me. I supported myself with my arms as I moved, but a head suddenly popped out from the hole. It was Song Ping! His expression suddenly changed when he saw me. His arms stretched out in front of me, and he fiercely pulled his elbows towards me.

I used this force to charge forward. Half of my body had already charged into the space diagonally. However, I felt my back abruptly lighten as Elder Li and the stone slab flew from my diagonally position to the ground.

Elder Li!

My ankle tensed and my body hung on top of it. Song Ping exclaimed and I flew to the ground again, but this time, I was prepared. I rolled on the floor diagonally after scuffling with it, only feeling my internal organs shifting position as they came into close contact with the ground.

Song Ping had already put down Fang Shi. His arms were red and liquid kept dripping down. He bellowed, “Down the well!”

The top of my head was covered in blood, but it wasn’t mine. It was Old Li’s blood that flowed all the way from his back to his neck.

I quickly rushed over and jumped into the well while hugging Elder Li’s corpse. Both of my feet fell to the bottom of the well and I could only feel the tendons in my legs being crushed into pieces.

I held out Elder Li, braced my hands against the side of the well, and jumped in.

After smearing the sticky liquid all over his hands, my vision cleared immediately. Half of Elder Li’s shoulders were flattened by the pressure, and his back was torn from the grinding. Black and red blood stains covered everything!

Elder Li!

“Are you alright?” A voice sounded from the side.

I was shocked when I saw Professor Song at the side, yet he didn’t even nod his head. His eyes were only focused on Elder Li’s death!

There was no sound from the side. Elder Li’s blood had already solidified.

At this moment, I wasn’t thinking about Elder Li, nor did I know what was going on in my head. I only felt a white light in front of my eyes, and the rumbling sound had completely disappeared.

It felt like an instant, and someone patted on my shoulder. I felt that the force was very light, and then it slowly turned heavier. It didn’t hurt, but only pulled me out of the white chaos.

The moment he regained consciousness, the pain on his shoulder became scorching and sharp. When I raised my head, Song Ping was squeezing my shoulder with all his might.

Seeing that I had woken up, his expression loosened and he retracted his hand. He said seriously, “Do you still remember who you are?”

I have regained my composure, “I know, don’t worry I’m not crazy, thank you! Let’s hurry up and go out. ”

Song Ping looked as if he was crying, and said with a bitter smile, “Look around, are we still going to leave?”

Hm?

I looked around. It was dark all around me, and when I turned my head I felt a tightening on my side. Something sharp was pressing against my neck.

Song Ping’s hand emitted a faint blue light. His watch lit up, lighting up the small world.

This was indeed a “small world”, with a width of around 50 meters on both sides. A sharp piece of rock extended from beside my ear, this was the one that tightly strangled my neck.

I tilted my head to the side. This place is too small. At this moment, I realized that Song Ping’s legs were on both sides of my legs. This position is extremely awkward, but this kind of collapse is the most comfortable position for both of us.

Song Ping turned off the lights and immediately fell into darkness. I said, “Is this a landslide? Your dad and… Where’s Elder Li? ”

As soon as I opened my mouth, I felt that my voice was dull and dry, my voice tight, my throat cleared, and I felt a burning pain in my insides.

Song Ping said, “Elder Li… Sigh … You don’t have to worry too much. My father and elder Song should be fine. They should be out by now. You froze then. No matter how much my dad called you, you couldn’t hear. The long path was already beginning to collapse, so he just brought Elder Li with him … “The body is out.” He said the last few words with great difficulty. He paused for a moment before continuing, “Those are two areas, so he should have already left. Before he left, he threw the watch in his hand next to you. This should be a special item, there are many functions that can be broken down into two layers, and one can even sense one’s body temperature. ”

I held up my hand. I had this on my hand too. The inexplicable orange colored warning made my vision spin. Song Ping said in surprise, “You… You too?! “Damn, just what is your background?!”

I thought to myself, how the f * ck would I know, but my mouth couldn’t open anymore. My head dropped and I fainted. In the end, I could only hear Song Ping’s distant shouts of a mosquito and a muffled grunt from above my head.

When I woke up again, my head was as heavy as a weight. The noisy voices of a man and a woman came from afar, and then exploded in my ears like a thunderclap.

My eyelids were heavy, but I knew I had to open them. My vision blurred for a moment, and the blinding light almost made me close my eyes again.

Someone affectionately drew the curtains, and a man beside him said, “You’re awake?”

This voice was very familiar, as if he had heard this voice saying ‘awake’ more than once. My entire body became alert, but my body still didn’t feel relaxed. It was as though my body had collapsed and I couldn’t move at all.

Sure enough, the male voice was different. At this moment, his expression was very strange, but the happiness on his face couldn’t be faked. It was dark when he saw Wei Yuting. He thought that the one who had carefully pulled the curtains was her.

Seeing him was probably the only thing that could cause anyone to smile. I was really in the hospital. My head and shoulders and legs were bandaged, and my feet were hanging up. Presumably the wounds on them were even worse.

Under these circumstances, it would be good if he could preserve his life. I was already very satisfied. The pain meant that I wasn’t crippled.

Wei Yuting helped me to drink a cup of water, and the hot and dry taste in my mouth cooled down. Letting out a long breath, Wei Yuting said, “Do you know that before you …” Sleep for a while first, “he said.” As the saying goes, there will always be good fortune in surviving a great disaster. Sigh … ”

That sigh really made my heart clench. I don’t know what happened, but fortunately, it was followed up by saying, “When you and Song Ping were fished out …” “It was too awkward when he was fished out.” As soon as Wei Yuting got her revenge, she said with an ambiguous look on her face, “Ah, that posture …” “I won’t say anything else. Rest for a while longer, I’ll go inform Uncle Song.”

After she left, her expression changed again. Looking at my expression, there was an additional trace of doubt and inquiry. Just as I was about to close my eyes and go to sleep, I heard him say, “Do you know? “Your name is carved into a stone formation at the Pingji Mountain!”

These words weren’t heavy, but they struck my ears like a clap of thunder. My drowsiness disappeared in an instant. Even though my mind was shaken, I couldn’t hear a single word. I could only stare at him with wide eyes.

What is it? “” That was a long time ago. Not only did I carve your name, I also used the color of the cinnabar. But it’s your name, and it’s simplified. “
