I Was Once a Legend

On a starry and moonlit night, the meager moonlight is not enough to illuminate the entire sea area. The small island is pitch black at night, and the light of the bonfire covers the young face, dancing.

The poor rabbit was met by Alan on the way to find it, and he was stoned to death. Dong Linhai and Lin Hangzhi roasted it together. It tastes worse without seasoning, but it is not difficult to eat.

Wang Que got a piece of the freshest rabbit leg. It was the afternoon when the ship was wrecked, and he didn't have time to eat dinner. Except for Dong Zheng who didn't forget to eat a pack of compressed biscuits in a hurry, everyone else was hungry. The chest is attached to the back.

"I have to find a place to spend the night." Washing off the oil stains on his hands in the sea, Cui Zuojing turned his back to the sea and looked at the island under the night.

The lush wild forest is like a huge beast, entrenched silently on the island, and from time to time, the calls of unknown birds come from afar, one or two short calls.The sea breeze blows over the forest tops, making a soft "rustling".

"It's too late to build a bunker now, let's see if we can find a cave." Dong Zheng also came over and stood beside him.The tide beat against the rocks and sand, leaving behind a fine white foam.

"I'll go find it." Cui Zuojing glanced at the people around the bonfire. After such an encounter, the team's vitality was consumed a lot.Dong Linhai had already lost a lot of blood when he was treated by the heart-sewing bear. Although he was still very energetic, his lips were bloodless.Not to mention Wang Que, Cui Zuojing now only hopes that she will never get sick.

Dong Zheng: "I will accompany you."

Cui Zuojing didn't refuse. After all, he didn't like to walk alone at all. During the eight years of frozen time, loneliness followed him like a shadow.

He had had enough.

When they were still on the boat, each of them sealed some necessities with waterproof bags and carried them with them at all times for emergencies. Dong Linhai gave the well-preserved flashlight to Dong Zheng and said, "You all pay attention to safety."

"Is he still safe with me?" Cui Zuojing held a knife, watched Dong Zheng make two simple torches, lit them on the bonfire, and took one of them, "You should be more careful, although most Wild beasts are afraid of fire, but not the monsters in the box."

The place where they are located is in the southeast of the island. In addition to large flat beaches and jagged reefs, Dong Zheng walked towards the side with many cliffs. If the sea breeze blows in this direction for many years, natural wind-eroded caves should be formed.

On the way, they came across the dead body of a sea turtle. Together they cut off the shell of the sea turtle, cleaned it and took it with them. They didn't know if they could find the water source in time. good stuff.

The road was not easy, and the two groped their way forward, and there was no other conversation except to remind each other to be careful.After nearly half an hour, Cui Zuojing struggled to climb up a bulge on the sloping cliff, and his eyes lit up when he saw the dark hole.

The entrance of the cave was only 1.5 meters high. Cui Zuojing walked in and found that there was a cave inside.

This is a very deep cave, meandering to nowhere, much like the lair of some creatures.

"It's fine here." Dong Zheng said.

"Well, let's call everyone here." Holding a torch, Cui Zuojing walked a dozen steps inward, but found no trace of animal feces for a while, presumably it might have been abandoned by its former owner.

To be honest, it is not appropriate to call everyone here before we have explored it clearly, but there is no time, and hiding in an unknown cave is much better than sleeping outside with a big thorn.

They went back the same way and called everyone up. By the time they settled down, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

The Rolex on Dong Zheng’s wrist, which has been soaked in sea water for so long, can still work normally. It is indeed the best waterproof and dustproof watch.

On the way here, everyone picked up some firewood, and built a bonfire in the cave to keep warm. It was late summer in the box, but at night, the island was still quite cool with the sea breeze blowing.

Cui Zuojing and Alan, who has the most physical strength so far, undertook the task of vigil. The two kept watch in the middle of the night, while the others surrounded the small fire, found a relatively flat ground, and lay down to sleep.

Wang Que didn't have much flesh on her body, and the hard ground made her feel uncomfortable. She thought it would take a long time before she fell asleep slowly, but she didn't expect that as soon as she lay down, her exhaustion was like a wave, drowning her.

Soon everyone's steady breathing sounded one after another. Cui Zuojing sat cross-legged beside Dong Zheng, with Tang Dao Zhanyue flat on his lap, Victor curled up at his feet, and the whole cat rolled into a fluffy white ball.

Dong Zheng felt that the pain was too uncomfortable, and he couldn't find anything to replace the pillow, so he could only sleep on his back with one arm under his head.Cui Zuojing glanced at him, and secretly heyed in his heart.

When I get up tomorrow, this arm will almost be useless.

Guessing that Dong Zheng was in a deep sleep, Cui Zuojing walked over quietly, raised Dong Zheng's head with one hand, took out his arm with the other, and gently put the man's head on the ground.

Dong Zheng was really exhausted, and he didn't even wake up like this, or he subconsciously felt that the person who touched him was Cui Zuojing, and he knew it was safe.

The young man leaned his back on the cave wall, staring at the slowly burning bonfire, adding some firewood from time to time, picking it with a branch to ensure it would not go out.

The night is so long.

But with the company of these people, it doesn't seem boring and lonely at all.

Wang Que didn't know what he had dreamed of, so he babbled softly, frowning tightly.Allen lay on Lin Hangzhi's leg as a pillow, sleeping with his mouth open, unconscious.Dong Linhai half leaned against the cave wall, folded his hands on his chest, as if he planned to sit and sleep all night.

Although he never said it explicitly, Cui Zuojing had to admit that he did have a sense of belonging to the current Wonton Splitters team.

He can see everyone's struggle, struggle and persistence in his eyes. When that day comes, he takes back the remaining feelings from the clown, and this sense of belonging will probably become Zhong's unswerving belief. And special emotional fetters for everyone.

Just like when he was at the tea party.

Cui Zuojing didn't feel sleepy until 03:30. He squinted his eyes and yawned silently, patting Alan lightly to wake him up.

"Change to me?" Allen rubbed his eyes, then looked at Dong Zheng's watch in Huoguang, and said in surprise, "Eh? Why are you calling me now?"

"I'm not too tired, and I can go back to the prisoner's space to rest during the day." Cui Zuojing put the knife aside and said softly, "It's probably not until six o'clock in the morning. I'll go back to the space first. Take a good look." If you are really tired, wake up uncle and let him watch, his cat body will automatically wake up to eat at four o'clock in the morning every day."

"no problem."

More than five hours of sleep was enough for Allen. Seeing that Dong Linhai had been sitting in an awkward posture, his neck seemed to be about to break, he sat down and let the boy's head rest on his shoulder.

When the first light came on, the bonfire had already been extinguished. After waking up, Victor walked out of the cave, looked at the flat and vast sea in the distance, and stretched his waist.

No trace seems to be left of yesterday's shipwreck, with the regal Gabriel II sinking to the bottom of the ocean, trapping the desperate souls of many dead.

Those NPCs were originally the same players as them, the same pilgrims. They died on the road, were reused, washed away their memory, put into a certain box, and became another "person" for their later pilgrims. Add difficulty, or pave the way.

The light from the sky entered the cave entrance and fell on everyone's faces. It became brighter and brighter, and quickly woke them up one after another.

Dong Zheng opened his eyes and looked around subconsciously. He didn't see Cui Zuojing's figure, so he looked into the prisoner's space in his consciousness. The boy was lying on the big bed and sleeping, only pulling a corner of the quilt to cover it. belly.

Dong Zheng fell asleep and woke up thirsty to death. The tortoise shell he placed at the entrance of the cave last night accumulated a layer of condensed water, which was very little, probably only enough for one mouthful.

Allen came over and said, "If it doesn't work, we can distill it with sea water. Anyway, there are fires and plastic bags, and now there are even pots."

Dong Zheng nodded, relying on the accumulation of dew alone, they probably would die of thirst in a short time.

He saved the clear water he saved all night to drink for Wang Que who just woke up, and took the turtle shell out of the cave to catch the sea water.

Dong Zheng turned a few turns and avoided the large rocks not far in front of the cave. In the bright sky, he finally saw clearly the beach they passed by last night.

There are dense white bones all over it.

Dong Zheng could barely make out the skeletons of fish and human skulls about one meter long, stacked together to form a white shoal, dotted with dots of orange yellow, those who jumped ship and fled. People who died on the road, whose bodies washed ashore.

Dong Zheng didn't go there, but only took a few glances from a distance. So many bones clearly told him that there was danger, at least it used to exist.

He didn't want to run to die just because he had Cui Zuojing.

He picked a place where the water quality looked better and filled it with turtle shell sea water and went back. Everyone was already awake, facing the cave wall together, not knowing what they were doing.

Seeing Dong Zheng coming back, Lin Hai shouted: "Brother! Look, there are words here!"

Word?

Dong Zheng put down the tortoise shell and went. In the depths of the cave, there were some strange characters engraved on the cave wall, saying that they were characters, probably because the horizontal arrangement was very neat, and the spacing between each pattern was about the same size.

hieroglyphs.

These symbols spread all the way to the deeper part of the cave. It was too late yesterday, and everyone was very tired, so they didn't explore deeply, and slept directly in the outermost space.

The depths where the sun can't reach are still pitch black, like the mouth of hell in the legend, swallowing everything including light.

No one knows how deep the cave really is.

Holding a flashlight, Dong Zheng and Lin Hai tentatively walked in for a while, and found a huge inverted pentagram on the cave wall above his head. In the center of the coat of arms, a broken and incomplete head of a goat was staring at the cave wall. them.

In the first special training not long ago, this pattern appeared in the materials given by Fu Zhe. The inverted pentagram is also called "Judah's goat". It is the emblem of Satanism and represents the devil.

"I don't think it's a good place." Dong Linhai whispered.

Dong Zheng rubbed his fingers on the Hebrew text around the coat of arms for a week. Logically speaking, these texts should be "Leviathan", which means Leviathan, the giant sea beast mentioned in the Old Testament, but the current appearance is similar to His impression was different.

When the two returned to the entrance of the cave, everyone was extremely thirsty. Nothing is more unbearable than watching such a large sea without water to drink.

Dong Zheng thought for a while, then gave up distilling seawater with turtle shells, and said, "There are a lot of things floating over from the boat on the beach outside, go and see if you can find something useful."
