Chapter 18 Rescue from the Cave
The old elevator creaked and groaned intermittently, and gusts of cold wind swept over the group.
As the light faded, the surrounding environment became pitch black.
Everyone felt as if their chests were blocked, and their breathing became difficult.
After everyone turned on their headlamps, they instinctively huddled together.
They seek a sense of security through physical touch.
Of course, this does not include Li Yuan.
And the old man that Li Yuan was carrying.
This old man is the mastermind behind everything in the show.
But whether he is the ultimate boss remains unknown.
Perhaps, as he just said, he's just a "gatekeeper".
At this moment, the old man was muttering in a terrified voice:
"We're all doomed, we're all doomed..."
Li Yuan lowered his headlamp and whispered to the old man:
"You're definitely dead. Have you thought about how you'll be eaten?"
"Who are you? Who exactly are you?!"
The old man looked at Li Yuan in horror, his whole body trembling involuntarily.
He couldn't understand why anyone would know the secrets underground, since he hadn't made any mistakes.
Who I am is not important.
Li Yuan stared at the old man who was trembling like someone with Parkinson's disease, and asked, word by word:
"What exactly are they?"
Li Yuan was eager to know whether these things were evil creatures or simply a result of human degeneration.
This will directly affect his lethality here.
"you do not know!"
When the old man heard Li Yuan ask this question, he suddenly became excited and shouted with a loud laugh:
"You don't know, hahaha, the gods won't let you get away with this!"
However, Li Yuan said with a smile:
"Okay, I know the answer."
The old man was taken aback. Had he let something slip? No.
The old man was unaware of the other's thoughts; he assumed Li Yuan wanted to know what the monster was.
Actually, Li Yuan just wanted to know if the monster had any dark attributes.
The "deity" the old man spoke of had clearly revealed the answer to the matter.
"You blasphemer! You'll go to hell!"
As the elevator landed smoothly, the old man's emotions gradually became frenzied.
She hysterically cursed Li Yuan as if she were about to reach the end of her life.
Li Yuan smiled as he stepped out of the elevator and said playfully to the old man:
"Hell? We already live in hell."
When the crowd exiting the elevator looked at them with strange eyes,
Li Yuan slowly walked to Cathy's side and handed her the DV camera.
"You don't need to do anything else, just record this video for me."
Cathy took the DV camera with some surprise and turned to Dan for help.
Dan looked at Li Yuan, who was giving orders, with some dissatisfaction:
"Mr. Li, I said before we left that I'm the one in charge here!"
Li Yuan shrugged nonchalantly:
"I didn't hear that. All I know is that I'm in charge of this rescue operation, and you all have to listen to me."
At this moment, Sheriff Vince spoke up in support:
"I think we should listen to Dan! What do you all think?"
Bruce's absence clearly gave Sheriff Vince more confidence.
Li Yuan realized that the other party seemed to be trying to win over everyone and isolate him.
He immediately took out the Glock 21 he had prepared earlier from the system space and held it to Sheriff Vince's head.
Li Yuan said calmly:
"I think it's my decision to decide, who agrees and who disagrees?"
Seeing Li Yuan suddenly pull out a gun, everyone immediately shut their mouths.
Sheriff Vince's face flushed with anger, and he roared:
"You son of a bitch, you told me not to bring a gun, but you brought one yourself!"
"Weapons should be in the hands of normal people, not idiots."
Li Yuan slowly lowered his gun and said to the crowd:
"From now on, no one is allowed to speak loudly or run around, or I'll shoot him."
Cathy held the DV camera and looked at Li Yuan with some fear.
But he still pointed to the old man behind him who was yelling madly and asked:
"Then what about him?"
"It's very simple."
As Li Yuan spoke, he slowly walked to his side.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, a heavy punch landed squarely on the old man's stomach.
"Well..."
The old man clutched his stomach and could no longer make a sound.
He could only curl up on the ground, panting heavily.
Li Yuan shook his hand and said to Sheriff Vince:
"Can I borrow your handcuffs?"
Sheriff Vince wiped the cold sweat from his brow and slowly handed over the handcuffs.
With slightly evasive eyes, he tried to dissuade him:
"You...you shouldn't have done that, he's an old man after all..."
"The premise is that he has to be a person."
Everyone was completely confused by Li Yuan's words.
But Li Yuan's fierce behavior at this moment left everyone speechless.
Li Yuan took the handcuffs and cuffed the old man to a pillar nearby.
Then he reached out and patted the other person's face, saying softly:
"After we leave, shout louder and see which child comes to eat you first."
If not, then you can just quietly starve to death here.
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Li Yuan felt that taking direct action would be too lenient on him.
Let him fend for himself here.
The group exchanged glances, but no one dared to speak up and stop them.
Helpless, I hurried after them.
As you enter the pitch-black tunnel, only the faint light of headlamps and flashlights occasionally flashes by.
Soon, the group discovered the entrance to the next level.
"My God, this entrance is way too small..."
Rios couldn't help but complain that it would be very difficult for him and Vince to squeeze in.
"It's nothing, just tuck in your stomach and you'll be fine!"
Eager to make a name for himself, Vince said as he pushed his way down.
Seeing this, Rios could only roll his eyes and continue following.
Upon reaching the second level, Dan immediately sensed the danger of the mine.
He pointed to the load-bearing pillar in front of him and whispered to the person behind him:
"From now on, everyone should refrain from making any loud noises. The wooden supports here are extremely old."
He glanced at Li Yuan beside him and said meaningfully:
"If someone fires a shot now, we'll all be buried underneath."
Li Yuan glanced at Sheriff Vince with a smile:
"Don't be afraid, the person most likely to bury you is not carrying a gun."
He then turned his gaze to Sarah and asked softly:
"Sarah, have you remembered something?"
Sarah seemed to be somewhat familiar with her surroundings by now, but she still couldn't recall her memories.
She shook her head with a pained expression.
Li Yuan thought helplessly, "Would I have to encounter a monster before I can remember?"
As they went deeper into the tunnel, they reached the end of it.
They discovered a hole that had been boarded up with a sign that read "Danger! Do Not Enter".
With no other way around, the group had no choice but to dismantle the planks and continue forward.
When everyone entered the cave, they discovered that it was a huge natural cave.
The cave is filled with strangely shaped stalactites.
Cathy and Craig, who are passionate about adventure, were deeply attracted by the beautiful geological landscape before them.
But before they could even sigh, a scream suddenly rang out!
"ah--!"
Sarah covered her mouth and screamed softly, startling everyone into a tense standoff.
Li Yuan walked over and asked softly:
"What did you see?"
However, Sarah just shrank into Rios' arms in fear, not daring to look up.
Officer Rios could only offer a soft word of comfort:
"It's okay, don't be afraid, everyone's here."
Li Yuan was a little puzzled. He had just carefully observed his surroundings but had not found any monsters.
Even so, he still solemnly reminded him:
"Everyone, I must warn you, there are monsters here."
"What?"
Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, everyone turned to look, their eyes filled with fear, distrust, and skepticism...
