Infinite Sims

Chapter 233 The Beginning of Revenge
under the snow.

In the dark and lightless cave, the crying of the baby continued.

"Good, don't cry."

Jiang Ren, who had almost zero parenting experience, stood up and looked around while comforting the baby in his arms.

Just now, Wan Jinghao and the others rode past this place on horseback. I didn't want to just arrive at the foot of the mountain, and the thick snow on the mountain rolled down like a wave.

If he hadn't run into a cave in time, he would have been buried in the snow by now.

With his current strength and internal strength, although he is already close to the peak of human beings in this world, it is still not enough to move his body under the thick snow.

Once it is buried deep in the snow, it can be said that it can only wait for death.

And after that, the entrance of the cave collapsed due to the movement of the avalanche, causing the group of people to hide in the depths of the cave.

"When you just came to the foot of the mountain, you encountered an avalanche?"

Jiang Ren recalled the terrifying snow wave just now, and suspected that it was the world's rejection of him.

In order to eliminate the unstable factor of oneself, in addition to human beings, natural disasters are also used as weapons.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why such a coincidence.

It didn't collapse sooner or later, but it happened to be in the middle of the foot of the mountain, when it was neither front nor back, not to mention the next collapse at the entrance of the cave.

This is clear, to trap myself in this place.

"Has the world's rejection of me reached such a blatant point?"

Jiang Ren shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

The dark environment did not affect his vision.

This is a space the size of a basketball court, and there is a two-foot-high platform in front of it. Just now, because the entrance of the cave also collapsed, I ran over there in a panic, and fell here when I accidentally stepped on the air.

Huang Lanxi, the nanny, and the coachman all fell into a coma because of this.

Only Wan Jinghao and Wan Sheng in his arms were still awake, especially the latter was turning around in the dark with his eyes wide open.

"Can you get up?"

Jiang Ren came to Wan Jinghao's side.

"I broke my left leg, and it will take some time to recover."

Wan Jinghao shook his head and replied: "Brother Jiang, can you help me see if Lan Xi and the others are alright?"

"no problem."

Jiang Ren woke up Huang Lanxi and the others, and judged their injuries by checking and questioning respectively, and it turned out that there was nothing serious about them.

Except for a slightly sprained driver's foot, the rest of them will be fine after half a day of recuperation.

Of course, these judgments are all derived from his experience.

If there are any hidden symptoms, it is beyond his ability to judge, and the only thing he can do at that time is to let them ask for luck.

A group of people sat together.

I want to discuss a way to get out of here.

Considering that the cave may not be ventilated and the gas cannot communicate, although there are lighting tools such as candles in Jiangren's warehouse, they have not been used.

Anyway, with his and Wan Jinghao's reminders, there will be no problems for others.

Huang Lanxi held Wan Jinghao's clothes tightly with her right hand. In this space where she couldn't see anything clearly, it seemed that this was the only way to give her a sense of security.

The nurse hugged the two children and leaned against the coachman to keep warm.

We discussed it.

The end result is nothing new.

The best way is to find an exit to the outside world and leave easily and at your leisure.

The secondary method is to dig out a passage to the outside world by doing it yourself.

"What do you think?"

Jiang Ren thought for a while, then looked at Wan Jinghao.

Wan Jinghao focused his eyes on the surrounding walls: "I took a look just now, and the crypt is not too big. You can look for an exit or something first. If not, it's not too late to dig a hole."

Jiang Ren nodded: "It should be so, this matter will be done by the two of us."

The coachman heard this, and hurriedly said: "Young masters, I can help."

"Your foot is still injured, so it's not suitable for activities these days, and you are not like the two of us who have learned special martial arts, so you can see clearly in this environment."

Jiang Ren refused his request without hesitation.

The two got up and looked along the wall at the edge, and hit the wall with the sword they had just taken out, judging by the sound whether there was a dark passage.

But a cave the size of a basketball court.

The two checked very carefully, and it took half an hour before they finally ended their investigation.

"Jing Hao, Mr. Jiang, how are you? Have you found the exit?"

Hearing the approaching footsteps of the two, Huang Lanxi felt hopeful.

If I hadn't wanted to find my father and requested to leave early, I wouldn't have caused everyone to be trapped here, and even almost died halfway.

Guilt and uneasiness filled my heart, and I hated myself for not doing enough and failing.

"No."

Wan Jinghao felt a little disappointed, feeling that she had failed her expectations.

"Wan Jinghao and I checked just now, not only is there no exit, we can't even find a vent."

Jiang Ren sat on the ground and added: "If this continues, it will take three or two days at least, or a week or two at most. Even if we have enough food, we will die here."

Huang Lanxi bit her lips lightly, and couldn't help becoming nervous: "Why?"

Before Jiang Ren opened his mouth, Wan Jinghao explained: "Humans like us are inhaling a kind of gas all the time, and in the sealed space, that kind of gas will be sucked less and less, and the final result is I'm going to suffocate to death."

This is the knowledge he learned from Grandpa Immortal, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.

In fact, in the state of him and Jiang Ren, there is no need for oxygen supply at all, but it is not enough for the living Huang Lanxi.

gas?asphyxia?
Huang Lanxi had never heard of such a statement, but Suffocation still knew it, and in addition to her trust in Wan Jinghao, she did not have the slightest doubt.

The nurse and the coachman hadn't read any books, let alone questioned anything.

The way to obtain oxygen is to dig through a vent connected to the outside world as soon as possible.

The ones who did it were naturally Jiang Ren and Wan Jinghao.

First, only the two of them can see it; second, compared to them who are almost perpetual motion machines, the help of others is minimal; third, even if they exert their full strength, they will not consume the slightest amount of oxygen.

Through Ziteng's shuttle ability.

Found a direction closest to the outside world.

Then he took out a few drawn swords and added internal force to dig. At first, the progress was very fast, but then when he encountered a hard rock layer, the progress of the excavation slowed down a lot.

"It's a pity that I have to see it with my own eyes or the living corpse to transform the corpse into a living corpse, otherwise I can completely control a bunch of living corpses to participate in the excavation."

Whenever the internal energy is about to be exhausted, Jiang Ren will dig and recover the internal energy at the same time.

in this way.

The speed is already the limit he can achieve, and the excavation results are more than twice that of Wan Jinghao.

But this speed cannot last, after all his body is different from Wan Jinghao.

As time goes by, even if the body does not rot due to the temperature, the overall strength, strength, speed, and internal force will decline.

But he had to go all out.

The lives of Huang Lanxi and others are on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also related to Huang Lanxi's father being imprisoned.

The reason why Da Zhao was able to defend the natural danger of Tianhe with his remnant soldiers and lasted for several months was inseparable from Huang Zeshu's arrangement.

But now that he is in prison, the arrangement may be changed.

At that time, if the barbarian army finds the right opportunity and comes across the Tianhe River, the Dazhao royal family will inevitably surrender under the hostage of officials, regardless of whether they want to or not.

At that time, there will be more people to kill, and it will take longer.

It's better to have fewer accidents like this.

One day, two days, three days...

In the dark cave, time passed day by day.

If Jiang Ren hadn't entered meditation every once in a while, using the essence of the sun and the moon to judge day and night, he might have become numb to the concept of time.

During this process, Huang Lanxi and the others finished the water and dry food they carried with them.

If it weren't for the large amount of water and food in Jiang Ren's warehouse, they would have died of thirst and starvation without waiting for suffocation.

Time came to the eighth day.

The oxygen in the cave has been insufficient, in order to prolong the use of oxygen as much as possible.

Under Jiang Ren's arrangement, Huang Lanxi and others fell into a deep sleep, so as to reduce the body's intake of oxygen.

"Brother Jiang, how long will it take?"

Wan Jinghao, who had just brought a pile of soil back into the cave, No.20 asked seven times.

It was not easy to reunite with the person he missed, if she left here, he doubted whether he could maintain his sanity, maybe he would go crazy.

"Within a day."

Jiang Ren continued to break through the rock layer along the slightly curved passage.

In fact, judging from the sound, if everything goes well, half a day is enough to dig out to the outside world.

However, it is impossible to predict whether I, who was targeted by the world, will encounter any accidents halfway, such as a second collapse.

Therefore, he will double the time.

"Just hold on!"

Wan Jinghao glanced back, and worked harder to move the soil.

In fact, in his current state, he has been doing his best since the first day, and the spiritual upliftment does not bring him any bonus, but he still has human habits.

After another half day of digging.

A sound different from the rock layer came.

Jiang Ren cheered up, but he didn't care about maximizing the use of internal power, and immediately used his internal power to dig.

Whoa!
As soon as the hole was enlarged to the size of a washbasin, the snow outside fell into the hole.

Many landed on the heads of Jiang Ren and Wan Jinghao, and more slipped in along the passage.

"Dig through! Finally dug through!"

Wan Jinghao pulled out a hair, watched it fluttering in his hands, knew that it was the wind from outside, and immediately ran down the passage in ecstasy.

"This kid."

Jiang Ren shook his head and continued digging along the snow above.

Judging from the snow waves that rolled down during the avalanche that day, the thickness of the snow on it was at least one foot. In order to avoid accidents, the action must be fast.

"Ok?"

At this time, Jiang Ren was slightly taken aback.

Less than ten feet away from him, that is, on the snow, there are several corpses.

Through Ziteng's induction, he found that the death time of these corpses was the same, and it should not be more than a day from now.

"Is something wrong outside?"

Jiang Ren immediately thought of the villagers in the nearby village and the corpses buried in the yard.

It is suspected that the body was found, but because the murderer could not be found, the village was implicated by the angry Xu Ran's family, and then came to an end.

Of course, it is also possible to die from natural disasters.

But the specifics can only be judged after seeing their fatal injuries.

Compared with the hard rock, the snow is like tofu.

Jiang Ren quickly dug a hole leading to the outside world. Through the hole, which is more than one person wide, one can see that the sky outside is a scene of dusk.

"It took eight days, it was not easy."

Jiang Ren passed through the entrance of the cave, casually threw the sword full of gaps outside, and then climbed out.

Under the gloomy sky.

Surrounding them was a pothole with a width of several feet and a height of at least one foot. Among them were a few dead corpses lying on the ground, and excavation tools were scattered around them.

"Did they dig this hole? To save us?"

Jiang Ren frowned slightly, came to one of the corpses, and pushed him from the back to the sky.

This person was the head of the army who warmly entertained them and gave them a jug of good wine eight days ago.

"The fatal wound is the chest, the bow and arrow?"

Jiang Ren broke off the arrow on his chest, took out two pieces of arrows from the front and back of his body, and looked at them carefully: "Arrows are different from swords. Because of the difference in manufacturing process, the tail feathers are usually very different. It is different, it is not self-made in terms of style, this shape and material”

"Brother Jiang!"

Wan Jinghao, who sent Huang Lanxi and others up, looked at the corpses around him, and was puzzled.

Jiang Ren threw two arrows to him: "Look for yourself."

"This is the arrow of the barbarian army, they crossed the river?!"

Wan Jinghao took a look at them, and immediately crushed them, a mad killing intent burst out from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing his appearance, Huang Lanxi pulled his sleeve worriedly: "Jing Hao, Jing Hao."

Whether in the past few years of getting along or in the days of reunion, she has never seen Wan Jinghao show such a ferocious expression.

"I am fine."

Wan Jinghao squeezed out a smile, signaling her to be at ease.

But his clenched hands were obviously not really calm.

"This situation is not good."

Jiang Ren thought that in the past half month, Wan Jinghao almost lost his mind when facing the barbarians many times.

This completely different change from before his death was by no means a simple personality change. After all, in the first two months of his recovery, he could still maintain his basic sanity.

Jiang Ren had reason to suspect that Wan Jinghao was influenced by the 20 dead souls in Yecheng.

After all, he had mentioned more than once that he would occasionally hear the cries of those dead souls before they died, and he could even feel their pain and despair.

Everyone crawled out of the deep pit.

A dozen bodies were found outside.

Without exception, they were all from the villagers in the nearby village, and Jiang Ren had seen several of them.

He either died from a sharp blade, or died from a bow and arrow. One of them was trampled by a horse's hoof, and even his head was trampled to pieces. More than one can be described as miserable.

Arrange Huang Lanxi and others to a cave not far away.

After Jiang Ren left more than a dozen living corpses as guards, he and Wan Jinghao walked towards the village in the dark.

under the moonlight.

Accompanied by the sound of howling ghosts and howling wolves, and the afterimages of flying tree branches.

Their shadows were stretched very long, like evil ghosts seeking their lives, they gradually rushed towards the village with only a hundred families.
