I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1001: Illuminating the Lost

“It’s out of the pot! It’s out of the pot!”

The survivors excitedly shared the freshly baked food and gave it to their companions far away.

They have never experienced such a pleasant time. They live on the ruins of this city, but these ruins are not their shelter. They are the territory of the heavenly soldiers. They can only hide like mice, worrying about their own safety all the time.

Li Luo sat on top of a pile of ruins not far away, looking at the fire that was burning more and more vigorously, not knowing what she was thinking. After learning that the movement method of the sixth level of the abyss was "random", she became worried, and her original plan to move forward was temporarily shelved, and she was stranded in this city.

A trace of confusion appeared on her face from time to time, and sometimes she would suddenly look into the distance. Mo Ling stood aside, watching her condition, feeling a little worried.

"Aren't we going to move on?" he asked Li Luo.

Li Luo shook his head and said to him, "It's meaningless."

"If we continue forward, we will just be wandering around on the sixth floor. We have to find an accurate path, otherwise it will just be a waste of effort."

But where is the right path?
Before this, Li Luo always had a direction.

But now, "direction" no longer exists, and she has become Li Xiangyi in another sense. No matter where she goes, the final destination is uncertain and depends entirely on luck.

Li Xiangyi at least had the guidance of a thread, but Li Luo, who was now in the sixth level of the abyss, had completely become a headless fly.

Just as Mo Ling was thinking about how to comfort Li Luo, a short figure jumped and climbed to the top of the ruins.

"Sister, and...brother? I brought you some food."

The person who came was Xiaolian. She was looking at Mo Ling's square head with a sweet look, as if she was thinking about whether her name was correct.

"Call uncle."

When Mo Ling saw the child, she became playful and wanted to tease her.

"What does uncle mean?" Xiaolian had a puzzled expression on her face and stared at Mo Ling with her big eyes in confusion.

"Don't listen to him, just call me brother, Brother Tiekuai." Li Luo interrupted Mo Ling's shameless behavior and directly corrected the way he called Xiaolian.

"Brother Tiekuai, can you eat?" Xiaolian asked, looking at Mo Ling's square head curiously.

"Can't eat."

Mo Ling looked at the round worm in Xiaolian's hand and said firmly.

He didn't want to eat this kind of thing. He still remembered clearly the last time when Lao Xu tricked him into drinking toad juice flower tea.

That is a painful memory...

"Brother Iron Block, where is your mouth?"

Like every curious child, Xiaolian asked Mo Ling a series of questions.

"You have no eyes, how do you see?"

“Can you smell the fragrance of roundworms without a nose?”

"What do you speak with?"

"..."

Mo Ling now understood why the survivors asked Xiaolian to bring them food. It turned out that no matter which world you are in, taking care of children is always a very troublesome thing.

"Speak with this."

Mo Ling took off his stone bracelet and put it on Xiaolian's wrist.

Xiaolian seemed to have a loudspeaker, and kept saying "Ah", "Hello", "Hello, hello", "I am Xiaolian", "I am Iron Block", "One, two, three, four".

Because she was standing at the highest point and the sound she made was very loud, the survivors below all looked over curiously. Mo Ling hurriedly asked for the bracelet back in embarrassment.

"It's fun, Brother Iron."

"This is not something to play with. I can't speak without it."

"Oh."

Xiaolian was very well behaved and didn't bother Mo Ling anymore. She just looked at the bracelet reluctantly with a face full of longing.

Mo Ling suddenly felt distressed. These survivors were not born with good material conditions like human children. They treated a "toy" that was not really a toy as a treasure. They were mature beyond their years and unusually obedient.

"Sister, eat it quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

"it is good."

Li Luo picked up the metal plate beside him. It was made of a piece of bent metal and looked very crude. On it were several golden balls and some white lumps that looked like garlic cloves. After hesitating for a moment, Li Luo picked up the ball and put it in his mouth.

"Crack!"

The crispy shell shattered instantly, and the thick juice inside flowed out, so hot that Li Luo opened his mouth.

But her expression was very surprised, and she was obviously shocked by the taste of the round worm. After the temperature dropped for a while, she tasted it carefully again, her eyes widened even more, and after swallowing the whole worm, she licked her lips.

"Is it delicious?" Xiaolian asked expectantly.

"Yeah, it's delicious." Li Luo nodded to her, his hand unconsciously reaching for the plate and picking up another one.

"It tastes better with pigweed, sister, you should try it!"

Following Xiaolian's advice, Li Luo picked up another piece of pigweed rhizome and put it in his mouth...

A look of shock appeared on her face again, and her cheeks turned red, as if she was drunk.

"Delicious." She muttered while chewing.

Before he stopped talking, his hand reached for the plate again...

The wind and the remaining clouds.

When Li Luo reached out to the plate for the last time, she found it was empty. She was stunned and licked her lips.

"It's gone." She said blankly.

"That's all, sister..." Xiaolian said aggrievedly, "We can't use our abilities now, so we can catch fewer roundworms. That's all we caught today. This is for two people, and sister ate them all..."

Hearing Xiaolian's words, Li Luo looked at Mo Ling beside him embarrassedly.

Seeing Li Luo looking at him, Mo Ling turned his head away and said with disdain:

“It’s definitely not delicious.”

"..."

Li Luo touched Xiaolian's head and said "thank you".

Xiaolian felt a little embarrassed by the thanks and her mouth was about to split open with laughter.

"Sister, when are you leaving?" she suddenly asked Li Luo.

Li Luo froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

After a moment of silence, she said to Xiaolian:
"We haven't found a way out yet."

"How come we can't find it?" Xiaolian showed a confused expression. She raised her hand and pointed towards the edge of the city.

"Out of this ruin, and into another ruin."

"Then walk to another ruin..."

“Climb over that very tall building, go around that very deep pit, and walk through that very long road, and then you will be able to get out.”

"Or go over there..." Xiaolian pointed in another direction: "There is a wall over there. If you keep walking along the wall, you will find a way out."

"That's fine, too."

She turned again and pointed to the other side.

"It seems like both are OK." Xiaolian took her hand back and scratched her head: "No matter where you go, you can get out, it's just that some are farther away and some are closer."

"As long as you keep walking in one direction, you will definitely get out."

She turned her head and looked at Li Luo seriously:

"Sister, the direction is not important."

Hearing Xiaolian's words, Li Luo was stunned for a moment. At the same time, the fire below suddenly exploded, and a light flashed in Li Luo's eyes.

"Xiao Lian, thank you."

"You're welcome. Ask the other brothers and sisters and they will tell you too."

……

"Also, sister, stop touching my head, your hands are all greasy..."
