Chapter 12 Dilemma
Things are worse than expected.
After listening to Quark's statement, Tang Ling's face was extremely difficult to see, but he still had to rely on Quark and do what he said.
The underground passage is so huge that at least tens of thousands of people have never explored the settlement. In fact, even the underground passage under the safety belt, they said they could do nothing.
Apart from the black-toothed rats and various unknown dangers, the underground passage is like a huge maze, and if you are not careful, you will get lost in it.
This is Quark's familiar secret way. Without him, Tang Ling and the other two will become "blind".
But there are at least hundreds of black-horned and purple-patterned snakes in Quark's mouth.
The good news is that they are big and small, and some may not be so dangerous. The bad news is that after Quark broke through the wall, they had successfully alarmed them. These guys crawled out and scattered in this passage.
According to the habits of black-horned purple-patterned snakes, they may not be too far away from their nests. But the uncomfortable thing is that the only exit of this passage is closest to their nests.
Thinking of this, what's the use of even if quarks are familiar with this channel? The black-horned purple-patterned snake that may pop up at any time is fatal.
What's more, Tang Ling couldn't think of a reason to get out of this passage! Could he go to the ground to face groups of corpses?
Tang Ling didn't believe that they all poured into the ground.
But Quark insisted on going out of the export.
"Even if this passage cannot directly lead to the safe area, you cannot doubt its significance! In fact, if you go out from there, you are already very close to the gate of the safe area." Quark tried to convince Tang Ling.
"But what? What does that mean?" Will the safety zone open the door? Tang Ling would not believe this possibility.
"It means opportunity! Under such a disaster, there will definitely be tenacious mice that escape to the gate of the safe area. The safe area does not have the courage to give up all the people. You must know that the "fresh blood" of the soldiers and even the Ziyue warriors also have to rely on the place of blood transfusion. There are also big figures in the place of residence." Quark said so.
Tang Ling did not respond anymore. Quark was not a lie. As far as Tang Ling knew, at least two Ziyue soldiers were born in their settlements.
But Tang Ling did not believe Quark's words in full, and he felt that Quark was hiding something. Just like he never mentioned how he escaped after discovering the black-horned purple-patterned snake from beginning to end?
But there is no need to say it straight at this time, just beware of it is necessary.

Despite the light, the quiet and dim underground passages filled with bifurcated are unsettling.
Tang Ling tore off a piece of jerky meat and put it in his mouth to chew it. He only took a slight surprise at his actions and no longer cared about it.
However, my mother-in-law looked at Tang Ling worriedly, but didn't ask any more questions.
During the silent progress, about a dozen minutes later, they encountered obstacles.
In front of me is a wall made of gravel, which looks extremely rough, but it also means that the safe distance is over.
There is no doubt that this wall is a masterpiece of Quark.
He began to do this since he discovered the black-horned purple-patterned snake. Because he could not guarantee that one day a black-horned purple-patterned snake would wander into his shop in the Fifth Battalion.
Fortunately, until the wall is completed, there is no black-horned purple-patterned snake to "stop" his work, otherwise they will not be able to safely have a "safe distance" to buffer.
He took out a small tool and began to dig on the wall until a small hole appeared, and he began to put something again.
At this point, Tang Ling just watched quietly, and only saw a tube placed in the wall of quarks.
"Actually, there is no need to be surprised. This thing is not enough in this damn world. Hello, I said you can retreat a little longer." Quark pulled a long thread out of the tube and ignited it as if nothing had happened.
"Is it that explosive?" Tang Ling asked softly.
"Let's go down." Quark just pretended that he didn't hear Tang Ling's words.
With a roar, the rough wall was blown up with a big hole. Although it was not enough for people to pass through, the gravel around it only needed a few kicks to pass through it successfully.
"You go." Quark said to Tang Ling and turned off the cylinder.
The light source was gone, and the passage was completely sunk into darkness. Tang Ling patted her mother-in-law and sister on the back to show comfort, so she stood up straight and kicked the broken wall out of a passage.
Accurate instinct told him that at least there is no danger here.
"There can't be any more light. The black-horned purple-patterned snake is sensitive to light sources. I advise you to speak softly, as these guys are more sensitive to sound sources." Quark lowered his voice and said softly.
Tang Ling just silently pulled her sleeves, then rolled them into a rope, tied her sister, mother-in-law and her own arms together.
The clothes made of the stems of sagegrass are still strong enough.
"Let's go." Tang Ling urged, but the meat-eating movement did not stop, but instead became faster and faster.
"It's better to follow me closely, only I know the way." Quark said again, obviously he was dissatisfied with Tang Ling not tying him together.
But Tang Ling would not explain at all.
The steps began to slow down, and even the breath became much lighter. In the absolute darkness that had lost its source of light, every step was filled with deadly danger.
Compared to Tang Ling, the other three were much more relaxed, because no one noticed that only a short distance of 200 meters, Tang Ling's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and even her eyes were terrible red.
"Thirty meters ahead, there is danger in the left corner. Avoid it." In order to save energy, Tang Ling even spoke extremely concisely.
Fortunately, the distance between 200 meters, Quark had formed a tacit understanding with Tang Ling. After Tang Ling noticed the danger, he could always find a fork in the road to avoid it perfectly.
But because of this, the road has become long.
A trace of nosebleed had flowed out of Tang Ling's nose and was wiped silently by him.
In fact, accurate instinct can predict dangers, even instant dangers, but that requires a high degree of concentration.
Tang Ling had never tried to use precision instinct for such a long time, because he knew that a little longer, his head would swell and make people collapse.
But, there is no choice!
As time passed slowly, time passed every second, and the jerky that was caught from Quark was almost finished by Tang Ming.
But the feeling of hunger coming from the chest was surprisingly not much relieved.
This made Tang Ling, who was in a drowsy state, a little uneasy. Could it be that the intensive use of precise instinct consumed something?
"It's almost." Quark finally brought good news and pointed to a place.
But at the same time, Tang Ling said calmly: "There is danger in the front twenty-eight meters."
"Are you kidding? There is no fork in front of you and you deliberately avoid it." Quark's face suddenly looked ugly.
