[Tomb Raider] Escape

When Li Yaoyao woke up, she saw half of her body submerged in the water, with her back leaning against a wall, surrounded by darkness, probably staying in a long corridor.

He was obviously washed here by the raging river, the backpack containing tools and antiques was washed away by the water, and he himself completely lost his direction, and he didn't know where he was now.

He tried to move his body, but his whole body was sore as if he had been run over by a truck.

Li Yaoyao struggled to get up and found that the water had reached her knees.Feeling bewildered, he looked around and tried to shout: "Master! Su Yi! Where are you?"

His voice echoed in the empty corridor, but there was no response.

Li Yaoyao felt a little panicked, hesitated for a while, and chose the path on the left to walk slowly while supporting the wall.

"Su Yi...! Su Yi...! Old Yu...!" He kept shouting as he walked, but there was no response.His heart sank gradually.

After Li Yaoyao walked for more than ten meters, a fork in the road appeared in front of him. He could choose to continue walking or turn left.

The five of them walked a long way together before. Although there are many twists and turns in this underground palace, it will make people lose their sense of direction, but this is the first time he has seen a fork in the road.

"Damn it!" Li Yaoyao stopped at the corner, did not continue to go down for the time being, and called other people's names every few seconds.

"Third! Where are you?"

About 5 minutes later, Li Yaoyao faintly heard Yu Yu's voice, and immediately cheered up, shouting: "Old Yu! Can you hear my voice!"

"I heard it! Where are you?" Yu Yu's voice gradually became louder.

Li Yaoyao calmed down and carefully identified the direction of the voice, which was probably the road on his left.But he didn't even have a flashlight on him, and his visibility in the dark corridor was less than half a meter, so he couldn't tell if anyone was in front of him.

"Old Yu! Who are you with?"

Yu Yu glanced at She She next to her, and her grip on him became tighter.

She She replied calmly: "Me. What about you?"

Li Yaoyao smiled wryly, "I'm the only one. Do you still have your tools? Do you have a flashlight?"

She She replied briefly, "Yes."

Li Yaoyao said: "Come and find me. I'm at a fork in the road. I have nothing on me. I can't see at all."

Yu Yu and She She slowly approached the source of Li Yaoyao's voice, Yu Yu asked worriedly: "Third brother, are you not injured?"

Li Yaoyao moved her wrists, ankles and other joints, and found that she didn't have too sharp pain other than soreness. There should be no trauma, but Wu Qing must be indispensable.

"It's fine, it's fine, how about you?"

Yu Yu said, "We're fine."

After a while, Li Yaoyao heard the sound of wading into the water getting closer and closer, he should be several meters away, but he didn't see any light.

Yu Yu shouted, "Third brother, where are you?"

Li Yaoyao frowned and asked, "Have you turned on the flashlight?"

She She said calmly, "It's on. Didn't you see the light?"

Li Yaoyao understood the reason in her heart, cursed a curse word in a low voice, and said dejectedly: "No."

Yu Yu and She She also reacted immediately.

Yu Yu knocked on the wall with the handle of the flashlight, and found that the wall was not thin, and the sound of knocking on it was very dull.He took out an iron pestle from his bag and hit the wall hard: "Where are you?"

Li Yaoyao kicked the wall hard in response: "Yes."

After a while, Li Yaoyao heard a heavy blow coming from the other side of the wall, and after a few blows, it became quiet again.

She Snake said, "The wall is too thick, and we don't have enough tools to go through it."

Li Yaoyao asked, "Where does the water go?"

She She said, "Below the knee."

Li Yaoyao looked down at the water under her body, but her legs had already lost their sensitivity after soaking in the water for a long time.He touched it with his hands like a blind man, and found that the water had reached above his knees, indicating that the water level was still rising, but it was only slowing down again.

He responded: "The water here is deeper than yours, so you should be standing higher than me."

There were chattering voices coming from the other side of the wall, but because the voices were not loud, Li Yaoyao couldn't hear them clearly.After a while, She She said: "I passed out just now, and now I can't tell the direction. You find the way by yourself, go to the shallow water, and come back here after half an hour. We will also go Look for it, and I'll come back to you when I find it."

Li Yaoyao said: "Okay."

The three separated.

Li Yaoyao thought about it, and walked forward along the wall that separated him from Yu Yushe She.

After walking for a while, he felt that the water level seemed to be a little higher, and it had reached the middle of his thigh.But it was hard for him to tell whether the water was rising or he was going down.He scratched his wet hair irritably, turned around and walked back.

"Yaoyao... Yaoyao where are you..."

Li Yaoyao vaguely heard Su Yi's voice, her whole body froze suddenly, she stopped in her steps immediately, and listened carefully with her ears up.

After more than ten seconds, he didn't hear Su Yi's voice again, and shouted nervously: "Su Yi, baby, is that you?"

Su Yi's voice finally rang out again, this time more energetic than before, and obviously heard Li Yaoyao's voice: "Yaoyao!"

Li Yaoyao identified the direction of the voice, it was probably further ahead of the road he just walked.So he quickly turned around and walked back, calling out into the darkness, "Baby, do you have light?"

Su Yi's voice was very frustrated: "My bag is gone, I have nothing..."

Li Yaoyao paused slightly, looked at the darkness in front of her eyes, and comforted herself: Anyway, there is still hope, it is best that Su Yi is not at the other end of the wall.

He continued to walk forward, and soon another fork in the road appeared in front of him.

Li Yaoyao shouted: "Speak, don't stop, let me find out where you are."

So Su Yi began to play the bone flute that Li Yaoyao gave him.

"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass stretches to the sky... the end of the sky, the corner of the sea, the corner of the sea... the mountain outside the sunset mountain."

Li Yaoyao cursed with a wry smile: "Blowing such a frustrating thing, your man—I'm not dead yet."

After a while, Li Yaoyao finally managed to see a black shadow half a meter away.He walked forward slowly, and hugged Su Yi forcefully into his arms, wishing he could tuck it into his chest.

Half a minute later, Li Yaoyao let go of Su Yi, and took his hand to walk back—the water had already reached their thighs, and it seemed that this place was lower than where he was just now.

Su Yi walked two steps, suddenly staggered and almost fell.Fortunately, Li Yaoyao grabbed him with quick eyes and hands, so he didn't fall into the water.

Su Yi supported the wall and took a few breaths, forced a smile and said, "Let's go."

Li Yaoyao noticed something was wrong, frowned and stood still: "What happened to your leg? Was it injured?"

Su Yi's expression was panicked for a moment, and then he pretended to be calm and said: "Twisted a bit."

Although Li Yaoyao couldn't see his expression clearly in the dark, he intuitively sensed something was wrong, bent down and pinched Su Yi's leg.Su Yi gasped suddenly, and dodged backwards uncontrollably.

Li Yaoyao frowned into Chuanzi: "You are seriously injured."

Su Yi was silent and did not speak.

Li Yaoyao squatted down with her back facing him, and said forcefully, "Come up."

Su Yi didn't refuse, and obediently climbed onto his back.

While walking, Li Yaoyao told the story of meeting Yu Yu and She She just now.The two walked for a while, when Li Yaoyao suddenly kicked something hard, staggered, and nearly fell into the water with Su Yi.He put Su Yi down, fumbled to pick up something that tripped him—it was a backpack!

Li Yaoyao's eyes lit up, she opened her backpack, and there were oxygen cylinders and cultural relics.He pulled out a flashlight: "It's my bag!"

After the light came on, the two could clearly see each other's distressed appearance - strands of wet hair hung down on their foreheads, their faces and bodies were covered with a lot of filth from the Nile River, it looked as if they had been drilled from a sewer. The merman who came out - of course, the current environment is not much different from the sewer.

Li Yaoyao reached out and took off a piece of plastic on Su Yi's forehead, handed him the bag to carry on his back, then carried him on his back and set off again.

The two walked for a while, but they never met Yu Yu and She She again, and they never found Nangong Gousheng.The water level is still rising. No matter which direction Li Yaoyao walks, the water is getting higher and higher. After more than ten minutes, the water has reached the hips of the two of them. The huge resistance of the water made him walk extremely slowly with Su Yi on his back. .

Li Yaoyao gradually lost her patience, and said to herself dejectedly: "Damn it, where is it going up?"

Su Yi buried her head in his neck and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. If you are tired, just let me down and walk for a while."

Li Yaoyao didn't say anything, she carried him on her back, and continued to walk forward through the water.

After a while, Li Yaoyao came to the end of a corridor.The road ahead is broken.

"Fuck!" Li Yaoyao couldn't take it anymore, raised her foot and kicked the wall hard.It's a pity that the resistance of the water made his foot useless at all.

When Su Yi got off his back, the water had already reached his waist.He took the flashlight from Li Yaoyao's hand, and began to search carefully according to the wall: "We have been walking for so long and haven't found any room. Maybe there is a mechanism, but we haven't found it."

Li Yaoyao took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and started to explore with Su Yi.

Soon, Li Yaoyao really found a niche on the wall.

The two of them worked together to pull the mechanism in the alcove, only to hear a rumbling sound, and a stone slab rose slowly, revealing a small square hole that could allow one person to drill through.

Li Yaoyao was overjoyed, she got half of her body and went in to check.

The room behind the small square hole is more than one meter higher than the corridor because of the terrain, and the room has not yet flooded.But Li Yaoyao looked around with a flashlight, and found that it was just a room, without any passages or mysteries, not even burial objects.There are a bunch of incomprehensible murals painted on the walls of the room.Li Yaoyao is not Nangong Gousheng, and at this moment, he didn't have the heart to study what was painted on the wall, so he quickly got out of the small hole: "There is nothing, turn around."

Before the words fell, the underground palace suddenly began to tremble rumblingly again, and the water surface fluctuated endlessly.

The two couldn't help being shocked, they held each other's hand tightly, and Li Yaoyao hugged Su Yi into her arms.

I don't know if someone else touched the mechanism of the underground palace, or a certain part of the underground palace broke, and the water level rose rapidly again. After the tremor ended, the water had risen to the chests of the two, and the water even overflowed from the small hole into the newly discovered room inside.

Li Yaoyao gritted her teeth and turned her head to look at the corridor about tens of meters long behind her. With a heartbroken, she pressed Su Yi's shoulder and said, "Go in."

Su Yi didn't know why, so he took a breath obediently, dived into the water, and got into the room through the small hole that had been submerged.Immediately, Li Yaoyao stuffed the backpack through the small hole, and followed into the room.

The room was more than three meters high, and the water only reached their calves, so it seemed that there was no danger for a while.

Li Yaoyao stuffed the backpack into Su Yi's hand, held his face and kissed him for a while, then pushed back his wet hair: "You wait for me here, I will go out to find the way, and come back when I find it." you."

Su Yi grabbed his arm nervously: "I'll go with you."

Li Yaoyao said impatiently: "Don't make trouble for me, just stay obediently."

Su Yi suffocated, and he was not willing to let go of holding him, insisting: "No, I want to go with you."

There are two flashlights in the bag.Li Yaoyao took out the unused battery and handed it to Su Yi, and took the other one into his hand. He took out the flippers from his bag and put them on: "I leave the oxygen tank for you. When the water comes up, you can take it with you." .You wait, I'll be fine."

Su Yi held him tightly and shook his head desperately: "No, how can you get out without oxygen!"

Li Yaoyao pulled out her arm irritably: "I said it's fine! Don't be so fucking procrastinating, I don't want to die in love with you!"

Su Yi was speechless for a moment.

Li Yaoyao knelt down, ready to get out of the small hole, paused for a while, and said softly: "I will be fine, baby. If I... Su Yi, I love you." After finishing speaking, she took a deep breath , plunged into the bottom of the water without looking back.
