Chapter 239: Gravel (3rd Monthly Pass)
The day passed slowly in the torment of fear, but after all, the time slowly passed five o'clock in the afternoon. The sky became a little overcast, as if it was going to rain, and the waves were higher and higher, so it must have been a strong wind on the sea.
"Alright, that's all for today." Liu Qian kept watch for a day without any results, and seeing that it was getting late, he was ready to return to the prison camp.
"Finally we can go." The other team members all had expressions on their faces as if they had been amnesty, and they were even so excited that they were about to cry.
There is nothing more terrible than the danger of life at any time, or even a tragic death, and the most terrible thing is not knowing when that danger will come, and I don't know if it will befall me, so it is very tiring and tiring to keep worrying.
Everyone got into their cars and returned the same way they came, but just as the convoy was about to reach the narrow strip of exit, there was a sudden sound from above the cliff 'Boom! There was a muffled thud as if something had exploded, and then several boulder spires at the top of the cliff snapped apart and fell heavily into the narrow strip of land more than a hundred meters in front of the convoy.
Some basin-sized gravel splattered from the ground and jumped and splashed near the convoy, and if the car was hit by such a large rock, it would definitely be abandoned on the spot.
Liu Qian shouted to stop the convoy, feeling that something was wrong and hurriedly let the convoy retreat in the direction of the fishing village, at this moment, there were several loud explosions from the top of the cliff, and more boulder spires fell from the top of the cliff, completely sealing the half-kilometer-long narrow strip!
More gravel bounced at high speed and chased after the convoy, but fortunately, Liu Qian retreated in time, so that the convoy did not suffer greater losses and withdrew from the safety zone in time. In the midst of the rumbling crashes, Liu Qian seemed to hear the sound of a flying machine similar to that of a helicopter. But when I looked into the sky, I couldn't see anything because of the cliffs.
"Can crab beasts fly? Will launch missiles? Liu Qian drove away at a fast speed on his mountain bike and asked the treadmill sitting in the back seat.
"No, I've never seen it fly, and I haven't seen it launch missiles." Treadmill shook his head.
"What's going on on at the top of the mountain? Have you ever been in this situation before? Liu Qian then asked the treadmill.
"No, I've never seen anything like that." The treadmill had a blank look on his face.
The explosions happened about five or six times before they stopped. No more explosions were heard, and no boulders fell from the top of the cliff. However, the road back to the prison camp was completely blocked by falling boulders, and there were scattered large and small stones everywhere.
"We're stuck here!" The six members of the team looked at the blocked road in the distance, all with expressions of horror and despair on their faces.
Zhang Hua's expression also looked very nervous, coming out to carry out this mission is playing with his life! I heard Liu Ye say that I could go back just now, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief, how could it be so good that I didn't die, and it was a coincidence that the way back was blocked?
What's going on with the explosion just now? There could be no one lying in ambush at the top of the cliff. Deliberately trick them, right? And being able to blow up those boulders at the top of the cliff is not something that ordinary players and survivors can do, right?
It's not a trivial thing to get back from being trapped here, but once the crab beast comes out of the sea at this time, won't they just have to wait for death? Can't even escape? Although the crab beast only eats one person at a time without taking the initiative to attack, who knows if it will be swept and crushed to death on the spot in the process?
And if you stay stuck here and can't get out, the crab beast will only eat dim sum once a day. Sooner or later, it's going to be your turn, right? The boulder on the top of this mountain is neither early nor late, and it happens that the exit is blocked at this time. Their luck is too low, isn't it?
"Did the crab beast come ashore at night?" Liu Qian asked the treadmill.
"It seems to appear at night most of the time, only twice during the day." Treadmill had a very depressed expression, originally he didn't want to tell Liu Qian about this, lest Liu Qian let them stay here at night and wait for the crab beast. But now it's pointless to tell Liu Qian or not, they can't leave anyway.
"Master Liu, what should we do now?" Zhang Hua asked Liu Qian.
"Dinner. Find a place to rest after dinner, recuperate, maybe there will be a big battle in the night. If nothing happens during the night, I'll find a way to get you out of here tomorrow after dawn. Liu Qian replied to Zhang Hua a few words.
The situation he encountered now was also outside of Liu Gan's plan, he originally came to personally test the strength of the crab beast. I feel that the difference in strength is too great, and there is really no possibility of defeating it, so I will definitely escape. But now in this situation, if the crab beast really appears, I'm afraid it will have to fight to the death.
At the suggestion of the team members, there was no fire, and everyone ate the cold food with cold mineral water. Although the crab beast was not necessarily attracted by the fire on the shore before, lighting a fire would make these team members even more uneasy, so it is better to eat cold food.
"There was a female crab who saw a male crab walking vertically, not sideways, so she fell in love with this maverick male crab and married him the same day. But after the wedding night, the male crab also walked sideways, and the female crab was very puzzled and asked why it no longer walked vertically, do you know why? "The treadmill was boring and told a joke out.
"Because the male crab was drunk the day before, he walked upright...... This joke is too old and cold, isn't it? Yuan Hongjun replied to the treadmill with a bored look.
"No, it only walked vertically when it mutated the day before, and it returned to normal after marrying the female crab overnight." The treadmill laughed.
None of the others laughed, and it was clear that the joke wasn't funny at all, like the zombie treadmill he had suggested at the last meeting.
In the evening, everyone found a room in the fishing village to rest, and with the intervention of other team members, the treadmill was no longer noisy, and everyone tried to keep quiet, lying on the makeshift simple bed and thinking about their own thoughts.
There was no fire, no candles, no light, not even a sound, for no one knew when the crab beast would come ashore, when the danger would come, and from which direction.
After it got dark, it was raining outside, and it quickly turned into a thunderstorm, and the loud noise and pouring rain covered all the movement around them, and even if the danger came, the team members could not know in advance. (To be continued......)
