Chapter 242 Underground Ruins (11)

The stone steps were full of blasted rubble. I bent down, turned on the light, and went down first, followed closely by Jin Le.

When I was about to go down to the bottom, Jin Le suddenly grabbed me and said, "Don't move, it seems to have a smell."

I said, "Is it the smell of food again?"

Jin Le sniffled and said, "It smells like gunpowder."

I said: "Someone blasted here before, so it's not surprising that there is a little smell of gunpowder left." At this time, we were almost down to the bottom, so we could already see the layout of this floor space clearly.

I thought there would be some kind of pots and jars, but I didn't expect that when the light came on, the place was empty. The only difference was that the floor of this place was slightly green under the light.

This kind of green is not obvious, and if I don't pay attention, it will be easily overlooked. If I am not more vigilant at the moment, I am afraid I will ignore it.

"Green floor? What's going on here?" I was puzzled, so I didn't go any further.

At this moment, in the darkness, a faint cry for help suddenly came: "Help... life... help... help... life..." The voice came from the left hand side, and Jin Le and I put the Turn the flashlight to the left, and you can see a human-like thing lying on the ground about twenty meters away!

The reason why it is said to resemble a human is because the human body was completely black under the light, as if it had been scorched.

It crawled on the spot, motionless, but raised its head with difficulty, and let out a hoarse and broken cry for help, as if it was suffering from great torture, and seemed to die at any moment.

Jin Le is a doctor, so he took a look and concluded, "It's a burn!"

burn?

Burned like this?What a pain!And it's all like this, but it hasn't died yet, this vitality is too tenacious!Surprised, I didn't bother to think about it, I jumped down the stone steps and planned to run towards the burnt man.

Unexpectedly, this time I jumped, I found that the ground here was very slippery. Jumping off was like jumping on the ice. I couldn't stand still, and I fell straight away.

The moment I fell, I saw the soles of my feet rubbing against the ground, and a series of sparks were suddenly rubbed against each other. When I fell to the ground, my feet immediately burned!

Fuck me!There is indeed a problem here!There was a fire when they rubbed against each other. No wonder that person was burnt to such a ghostly state, and he lay on the spot without moving. I guess he was not unable to move, but he didn't dare to move at all!
Fortunately, I was on the edge of the stone steps at this moment, so after my feet burned, I immediately got up with my hands and tried to go back to the stone steps to put out the fire.

Unexpectedly, when I supported the ground with both hands, it turned out to be slippery, but with a slight rubbing force, I felt like my hands were on fire.The severe pain made me withdraw my hand subconsciously, only to find that after this short moment of friction, scalded blisters appeared all over my hands.

But at this moment, it was only the shoes that were on fire, and I didn't feel anything, but the fire burned to the trouser legs after a moment of delay. The thin trousers couldn't resist the flames, and my legs felt the burning pain instantly.

Fortunately, Jin Le didn't come down with me, so after seeing the situation, he immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed me, dragged me directly to the stone steps, took off his coat, and hit me on the legs. The shoes put out the fire.

"Hiss..." Although it was only less than ten seconds, the fire came very fiercely, and I felt severe pain from the lower part of my feet and calves, as well as the palms of my hands.

Everyone has been burned by fire or things more or less. You should know that this kind of pain is extremely unbearable. I can’t speak out the pain for a while, and the burnt person seems to have seen my fate. The voice of help stopped.

Jin Le pursed his lips and said, "It's phosphorite powder, and it will burn with slight friction. Let's see how your foot hurts." I took off my shoes and socks, cut off the burnt trousers, and checked it. It's not long, and it's not a big deal.

Jin Le signaled me to treat the wound by myself, and then found out our water bag.

Since water can be taken whenever we need it, we didn’t carry many water bags. Each person only brought one bag of water. Fortunately, we didn’t drink any water, so the water bags were still bulging.

Jin Le said: "The positions of the upper and lower connections here are almost the same. According to previous experience, the downward connection should be about 40 meters away from our right hand side. Wet the clothes with water and wrap them around the feet. Walk over slowly."

I couldn't help being stunned for a moment, hissed, and gave Jin Le a thumbs up: "I figured out a solution so quickly, okay."

Jin Le said: "It's not difficult to come up with this method, but if people who don't have water, or people who are in a hurry and don't see the clues, come in rashly, it's easy to get tricked."

I pointed to the person lying on the ground not far away, and said, "What should he do?"

Jin Le shook his head and sighed, and said, "It's impossible to save it after it's burned like that, it's just a matter of dying."

The people on the ground heard our conversation and moved their heads slightly, but they seemed to know that there was no hope, so they stopped asking for help.

Jin Le looked at me, shook the water bag in his hand, and said, "However, fortunately, there is still some water left. If you want him to die easier, you can help him."

I said, "Easy to die? You mean, give him a knife?"

Hearing this, Jin Le glanced at me angrily, and said, "I'm a doctor, not a murderer!" Then he added: "We have anesthesia, let him go without pain."

Since my feet were injured, Jin Le went to do this by himself. He cut the coat that he took off earlier into pieces, soaked it with water, and wrapped it around his feet.Slowly walked up to the burnt person, took out the prepared anesthetic, and said to the person: "This is the best anesthetic, you won't be in pain after the beating, are you willing to accept it?"

There was a series of phlegm-like gurgling sounds from the man's throat, followed by two syllables slowly: "Thank you... thank you..."

Jin Le then quickly injected the anesthesia into it. In the case of severe burns like this, the injection of anesthesia actually requires a lot of attention, but at this moment we are not here to save lives, but to make it easier for people to die, so there are not so many scruples.

The moment Jin Le injected him with anesthesia, the man's hand suddenly grabbed Jin Le's arm, and he opened his mouth a few times, as if about to say something.

Since I was standing on the stone steps, I couldn't hear clearly. Jin Le bent down and listened. He nodded while listening, and then walked back slowly.

"What did he just say?"

Jin Le added water to his shoecloth and said, "When a bird is about to die, its cry is mournful; when a man is about to die, his words are kind."

"Stop selling it."

He said: "He said that his accomplice has a secret weapon on him, and he already knows the whereabouts of our group, let us be careful."
