Chapter 333 Two Corridors
But Zhou Rui shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be that much, I guess it's a bone fracture at most..."

"I'll show you first, then I'll talk about it!" Xu Liqiang couldn't explain anything, so he untied Zhou Rui's shirt to check, only to find that there was a bruise under his left rib, which seemed to be a bit serious.

After Xu Liqiang lightly pressed a few points, Zhou Rui said it didn't hurt very much, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It shouldn't be as serious as it seems. If you really can't go, you can only stay where you are and rest." , I’ll go out and find someone to rescue you.”

Zhou Rui immediately waved his hands and said, "I know my own body well. I can't climb up and down, but walking shouldn't be a big problem. Let's find a way out as soon as possible before it gets dark."

Xu Liqiang saw that Zhou Rui could still persevere, so he didn't say anything else, but went to support him and walked forward a little bit... The corridor ahead has no traces of man-made excavation, it should be formed naturally, so the road under his feet is also clear. So good to go in the dugout.

The air in the cave is very humid, and the sound of dripping water can be heard from time to time, and the moss-covered stones are all under the feet, which are wet and slippery when stepped on, making it very difficult to walk... Zhou Rui almost slipped several times.

Seeing that Zhou Rui was struggling to walk, Xu Liqiang suggested that he should go back the same way, and then he climbed up to find rescue.But Zhou Rui said that he could still persevere...Xu Liqiang knew that Zhou Rui was sometimes stubborn, so he had no choice but to support him to move on.

But as he walked, the searchlight on Zhou Rui's head suddenly shone red, and he said in surprise, "Qiangzi... what is that thing!?"

After Xu Liqiang heard this, he took a few steps forward, and suddenly he paused, and then he walked back quickly, supporting Zhou Rui, and walked back, Zhou Rui was supported by him and walked back with a dazed look on his face. After a few steps, he quickly grabbed him and asked, "What's wrong? What did you see?"

Xu Liqiang said with an ugly face, "There is no way ahead, let's go back the same way, if it doesn't work, I will climb up with you on my back..."

"Impossible? If there is no way ahead, where did the people who worshiped that stone statue come from?" Zhou Rui said with a look of disbelief.

But this time Xu Liqiang insisted on going back, Zhou Rui saw that he couldn't resist him, so he had to say helplessly, "Are you sure you can carry me up?"

Xu Liqiang glanced at Zhou Rui, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not leave you alone..."

Then the two returned to the hole where Zhou Rui fell before. Xu Liqiang pulled the rope hanging from the hole. After confirming that it should be able to withstand the weight of the two, he took out the climbing equipment from his backpack and put it on. tidy.

When Zhou Rui saw it, he said worriedly, "You can't pull me up by myself, and now you have to add your own weight, are you sure you can do it?"

But Xu Liqiang said without hesitation, "Don't worry, I can take you up with the help of ascenders... After all, my years as a volunteer in the rescue team were not for nothing."

After Xu Liqiang finished speaking, he took out the rope from Zhou Rui's backpack, tied him tightly behind his back, and stuck the rope-climbing ascender firmly on the hanging rope. Then with a hard pull, the two hung on the climbing rope.

Perhaps because he was worried that Zhou Rui would be afraid, Xu Liqiang did not forget to comfort him and said, "Don't worry, this climbing rope is very strong. It's only a few meters away, and I can bring you up no matter what."

Having said that, it is not so easy to climb a rope with a person on your back. In addition, although the climbing rope is strong, the tree trunk that hangs the rope is not necessarily firm, so Xu Liqiang must climb up as fast as possible... …

Simply with the help of the ascender, although Xu Liqiang had to drive the weight of two people to climb up, it was much less labor-intensive than him pulling up from the top without any fulcrum, so in the end Xu Liqiang took Zhou Rui together from the entrance of the cave. climbed up.

After Xu Liqiang untied Zhou Rui's rope, both of them lay down on the ground to rest. Xu Liqiang was tired, while Zhou Rui was frightened, because he was really worried that the tree trunk on his head would not be stressed, and the two of them would die again. fell down.

After a while, Xu Liqiang got up and said to Zhou Rui, "Are you all right? Did you press your ribs just now?"

Zhou Rui sat up slowly and said, "Fortunately... I was really worried just now that this piece of wood wouldn't be able to withstand our weight."

Seeing that Zhou Rui was fine, Xu Liqiang wanted to take him out of here as soon as possible. After all, his ribs were seriously injured and he had to seek medical attention quickly, so he helped Zhou Rui up from the ground and said, "Go, go out first and then talk about it." Bar."

At that time, Zhou Rui also thought that the two of them were out of trouble, but what he never expected was that it was just the beginning of a nightmare... Because when the two of them were about to go out, they were surprised to find that two people appeared in front of them. Exactly the same corridor.

"This... how come there are two corridors!?" Xu Liqiang said in surprise.

Zhou Rui was also a little confused for a while, because they didn't look back at all when they came in, so they didn't know that there were two corridors here, let alone which corridor they walked out of...

"What should we do now? Do you remember which side we came from?" Xu Liqiang lost his mind for a moment.

Zhou Rui shook his head and said, "I didn't notice that there is another corridor..."

Xu Liqiang sighed after hearing this, "It doesn't matter, just choose one, anyway, it's not that far from the exit, if you choose wrong, just turn back and take the other one."

Zhou Rui smiled wryly after hearing this, "It seems that this is the only way..."

But Xu Liqiang was still a little worried about Zhou Rui's injury, so he asked in a deep voice, "Can you still hold on?"

After hearing this, Zhou Rui patted his hand away and said, "Of course it's okay, the pain is gone now, you don't have to help me go..."

In order to prove that his words were true, Zhou Rui walked into one of the corridors first, and Xu Liqiang had to quickly follow after seeing this... After the two walked into the corridor, they didn't see any difference from the one they entered before, so they just walked in. I thought it should be the right one, but after walking for a long time, I couldn't see the previous exit.

"Qiangzi... We may have chosen the wrong one. I remember that the tunnel we entered before was only tens of meters away, but why can't we go to the end of this one?" Zhou Rui said as he walked, but he waited. After a while, Qiangzi didn't respond, so he turned around and said, "I'm talking to you...Qiangzi?"

But when Zhou Rui turned his head, he found that there was no one behind him, and there was no shadow of Xu Liqiang. He was a little panicked, so he walked back without thinking, "Qiangzi? Qiangzi! !"
