Where is the big guy? What appears in front of my eyes is a stream of water filling the entire Metal Passage. In the dark passage, even though my One-Eyed Beast Flashlight is very bright, the water in my eyes still only appears black. Of course it's not black water, it's an illusion caused by the dark environment. I can see the light from One-Eyed Beast Flashlight penetrating part of the water and shining into its interior. It is colorless and transparent. The water filling Metal Passage is like a wall, or a huge piston pressing down on me. The air was compressed into a wall, beating my body mercilessly. The pungent smell in the air was more like sharp arrows, seeming to pierce me full of holes. I felt intense pain messages from various parts of my body to my brain. The sudden increase in resistance and the Severe Pain that spread throughout my body made me completely lose the strength and hope of survival. I can already see the very narrow door gap, which is between me and Water Wall, but I know that I can't run through this Water Wall. I give up racing with it. ︾∝, Maybe, the next moment I will be knocked unconscious by Water Wall or directly beaten to death, but I know that I will not die in pain. This relieved me. Apart from a little regret for not seeing Eternal Gate with my own eyes and blowing it up, I actually had no other negative emotions and felt very calm. It seems that this should be my destiny. " Fatty, don't let me down. Don't let me see you again." I muttered to myself, staring at the oncoming Water Wall. I hope Fatty can leave here alive instead of meeting each other under the spring. Tears welled up like spring water. I really didn’t know that my tear ducts were so developed that I would shed so many tears, and the front of my clothes became wet. Certainly not tears of sadness and fear. My heart has calmed down. I have been calmly waiting for death to come, and I even have time to look at the Water Wall on the opposite side. It was the strong pungent smell in the air that made me burst into tears! There is no control at all!
Fortunately, there was no one around me; if Liu Squad Leader or Jack had seen this, they would have mocked me mercilessly. Of course, Fatty would never witness this scene; if he did, I could forget about ever holding my head high again.
I finally understood the true purpose of this Metal Passage. It was merely a Water Inlet. As for why it was constructed entirely of metal, only time would tell.
I could only speculate that it had something to do with the nature of the water flow. The deadly, pungent smell in the air undoubtedly came from the Water Wall ahead. Inside it, that corrosive and irritating scent must be even stronger and more terrifying.
Despite my vision being blurred by tears and my eyes stinging as if filled with sand due to the intense odor, I still forced myself to look at the Water Wall in front of me.
The rushing water was pushed into a wall by even more turbulent water behind it. It formed a smooth mirror right before my eyes. It felt as if a Mirror-like surface was crashing toward me, and I could even see my reflection on it.
I imagined what it would be like when the Mirror-like surface shattered upon impact with me. It should be spectacular and beautiful.
Alright, I admit that although I wasn't afraid of death, at that moment, I felt that way. In a situation where escape was impossible, there was no need to fear death.
However, I still cherished life. I regretted leaving this world as an old virgin. Would I become a laughingstock in another world like Fatty?
I hesitated to close my eyes; despite the tragic scene before me, it was my last glimpse of this world. My final curtain call.
My longing for one last look at this world saved me.
Suddenly, a rope appeared before me, flying straight at me with the wind blowing against it.
Against the backdrop of the Mirror-like Water Wall, under the pressure of the strong wind that could lift a person off their feet, a figure emerged right in front of me. His bare upper body and fierce expression made me instantly recognize him as Xiao Guolin.
I worried he might be blown away like a leaf in the wind; the Water Wall behind him seemed poised to crush him in the next moment. Yet his face showed no hint of fear; his calmness only heightened my own anxiety.
However, that fierce and expressionless face along with his words gave me confidence and hope. "Grab on!"
I didn't hesitate. The moment the rope flew before my eyes, both of my hands simultaneously grabbed one end of it.
As I grasped the rope, a tremendous force seemed to pull me apart, transmitting through the rope. It felt as if my arms had instantly broken. It was as if the other end of the rope was attached to a speeding locomotive rather than to Xiao Guolin.
I didn't let go, even though my hands were nearly out of control, and my body felt like it was losing control as well.
At that moment, I resembled a piece of willow fluff, caught between two immense forces, being lifted by the greater one under the pull of the rope.
I felt like a moth drawn to a flame, hurtling toward the mirror-like Water Wall like a cannonball. My eyes were still open, yet I could no longer see anything. My mouth emitted a hoarse cry: "Ah..."
My arms had lost all sensation; I couldn't tell if I was still holding onto the rope. The shout escaped involuntarily, seemingly to prove that I was still alive.
I should have lost consciousness, but it wasn't long before I saw something again. When my vision returned, several faces appeared before me, with Xiao Guolin's face standing out prominently. It was too striking.
"Thank you," I mumbled incoherently. Even I felt my voice was weak, like that of someone just recovering from a serious illness.
Xiao Guolin shook his head. "No, that should be my line. Although you arrived later than I expected, thank you for coming. However, you shouldn't have brought Xiao Ting along; you shouldn't have dragged her into this."
In addition to Xiao Guolin, I also saw Jack, Liu Squad Leader, and A San's faces.
I was relieved that A San was mostly fine and showed no signs of a concussion. He looked at me anxiously and said, "Brother Qiang, your eyes are okay, right?"
I rubbed my sore eyes. "I'm fine; what's wrong?"
"They're very red, like mutated creatures in the Hakka People's Underground Cavern."
I closed my eyes. "Stop exaggerating; that's completely different."
Although my eyes could see again, my vision had severely deteriorated. At such a close distance, the faces of the few people around me were all blurred. Moreover, my eyes still hurt a lot.
After closing my eyes for a while, feeling the pain lessen slightly, I opened them again and discovered that everyone had vanished. I was lying on the cold, hard metal ground.
I tried to move my arms; thankfully, they weren’t broken, but my shoulder joints still ached. It must have been soft tissue bruising. I could move them, indicating that my bones were unharmed.
I got up and saw Xiao Guolin standing alone in front of the door. The door was already closed, and Xiao Guolin stood there like a wall, seemingly able to see through the metal door as he observed the situation outside.
A warrior with chest and lung injuries lay on a table-like platform. Jack was already beside him, preparing for surgery. Everyone was gathered around, helping with the preparations.
I walked over to Xiao Guolin. "What’s going on?"
Xiao Guolin extended one hand and pressed his palm against the door. "Feel this." (To Be Continued.)
