"Listen to him." Levi said no more and led his team towards the library.

These two slopes are the highest in the entire town, but no one lives here. To the east when the sun rises is the library, and to the west when the sun sets is a stone temple.

The stone temple is dedicated to a swamp god, Cthulhu Wind. A statue made on a whim by an unknown folk artist, and it inexplicably touched the weirdness of the residents of the town, so it was enshrined.

He built this temple. In fact, this thing has no divine power at all, not even guile.

The library is also a quite sacred and peaceful place in the town, but the books here are covered with dust. In the past, there was not even a person who came here to clean. Fortunately, the library has one more thing than the stone temple, and that is thick books.

book.

These books also played a key role at this time. They were moved down and used to block all entrances that might seep into the swamp mud water.

"There are more people running over there. They think the stone temple can protect them." Hu Lu said, pointing to the stone temple.

Wu Hen took a look and found that the stone temple was already overcrowded, but the library seemed a bit empty.

This is a technological civilization ruled by Daxuan. Do you believe in superstition or science?

However, when I thought about it, I chose this library because signs of death appeared, and I was not a serious person.

"Why did you choose this side? It feels like the terrain on the opposite side is higher, and the stone temple has a spire, which is theoretically a small triangular eaves higher than us." Some team members asked in confusion.

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly block all openings where mud may seep out, including those sewers that can backflow, and tear out the pages of those books." Levi cursed.

"It's not good, these are sacred books, filled with precious knowledge of our race. If we use them like this, we will be blamed by the saints."

"If you didn't know at this time that the raw material of paper is wood pulp, and its density is greater than that of swamp water when exposed to water, which can have an excellent sealing effect, the saint would not even be willing to admit that a stupid donkey like you is his descendant!"

Levi cursed unceremoniously.

After hearing this sentence, everyone realized that no matter how valuable the knowledge was recorded in this library, or even influenced all mankind to move to a higher dimensional state, its only role now is to restore it to wood pulp paper and build a fortress for everyone's survival.

.

As more and more people arrived at the stone temple, some people who fled to higher places gradually came to seek refuge in the library.

Unknowingly, the swamp water outside has reached these two high slopes. From here, it can be seen that there are only some eaves left in the entire town, and those eaves are also sinking slowly, so much so that they were hiding on the roof at first.

No one is immune.

As all the houses in the town sank into the swamp, the highest stone temple and library were also soaked. It didn't take long for the water to reach the height of a person. It was basically impossible for those who stayed outside to survive.

Even so, the entire town is still sinking. Although the sinking speed is slower, it still gives people the feeling of being immersed in swamp mud.

"Should we climb to the eaves?" someone suggested.

If they climbed to the eaves, they could at least stand about two meters higher. If the town's subsidence happened to submerge the eaves of the library, then their bodies would at least be above the swamp mud.

"It's going to be night soon. There are evil spirits at night. If you stay outside, you will be eaten alive." Wu Hen shook his head and objected.

Although many things are uncertain.

But there are two ways to die, one is to be choked to death in a swamp, and the other is to be eaten by evil spirits. Anyone who dies often knows to choose the former.

Seeing that it was getting late, no one dared to climb to the roof of the house.

After nightfall, a black-red liquid began to seep out of the swamp, like silt water.

The town has finally stopped sinking, but this siltation is causing everyone's suffocation line to rise even higher.

"This seems to be dark energy ley fluid!" Levi's face flashed with excitement when he saw the black and red liquid emerging.

It's really a dark vein. Although this black-red color is not liquid gold, it is a hundred times better than liquid gold!

Earth Vein Liquid, to put it bluntly, means that the aura is so rich that it gushes out like underground spring water. Wu Hen, who has a fourth-level sense of taste, can clearly feel that these liquid spiritual factors are overflowing. You must know that the aura is quite stable.

Dark matter does not move as violently as volcanic magma and steam, and even has strong adsorption properties on the landscape. If you cannot learn to gather gas, you will not be able to collect it at all.

But now they are spraying out of the ground like hot molten liquid, forming a large spiritual liquid field. It can be seen that there are even larger spiritual veins hidden deeper.

"But sooner or later we will be drowned by the dark liquid of the earth's veins." Hu Lu said.

This sentence made everyone fall from heaven to hell again.

Now the outside of the library has been soaked in muddy water for most of its height, and a small amount of black water has seeped into the inside, engulfing the floor inside the library.

It can be said that the entire library has sunk under the mud, and everyone is still alive and well, just because the previous sealing was good. This feeling of surviving in the only secret room of the sunken ship is actually very tortured and mentally easy.

collapse.

"Swamp water has seeped into the stone temple." Cheng Liang said in a low voice from the high window.

Some people in the team still think that the stone temple is safer. Maybe the strange god in the temple can drive away evil spirits and even isolate the swamp mud.

But there were too many windows in the stone temple, and there were no books or paper pulp to block them. As the terrain sank, the entire stone temple was filled with mud and water, and those hiding in the stone temple were all soaked in the black and red water.

The water level of the black and red water is still rising little by little, continuing to compress the living space of the entire stone temple.

Although the black and red water still has a slight buoyancy, it will not let them sink into the mud from the beginning——

But soon, Chengliang, who was by the window, saw a scene that shocked his soul:

All those who hid in the stone temple basically had only their heads floating on the black and red water.

The ceiling of the stone temple is a triangular pointed structure. As the black-red mud water continued to rise, the entire stone temple was completely engulfed, leaving only the extremely narrow area under the triangular eaves, which looked like a completely closed ditch.

And this ditch is filled with heads!

The wanderers who took refuge in the stone temple had no choice.

Either the body will sink directly below, be wrapped in the mud, and die in the swamp.

Or paddle your limbs and use the buoyancy of the black and red water to breathe as much as possible in the "gully" space under the eaves.

But there are so many heads that need to breathe, how much oxygen can there be in this narrow space?

The cruelest thing is that the town no longer sinks, and the black and red water no longer flows upward.

The statue of the stone temple played a role, because its special shape made the roof of the stone temple not have a flat roof, but a long pointed top.

This spire is the glimmer of hope left by this stone temple to the residents of the town.

But if there are less than ten people with this glimmer of hope, they may be able to survive the night on thin oxygen.

But this glimmer of life was filled with nearly a hundred heads, large and small, all soaked in the cold mire water below their throats, and one by one they opened their noses and roared to snatch the air in this closed and narrow space.

"None of them will survive." Wu Hen looked through the window and looked at the extremely breathtaking scene opposite through the strange night.

Even though there was plenty of oxygen in the library, Wu Hen felt it was difficult to breathe.

He finally understood how the people in the small town died in the end.

I also understand why they only have heads left one by one.

"If the original residents of the town chose the library, would most of them survive?" At this time, Cheng Liang also realized this and asked softly.

Wu Hen fell silent.

What can save the residents of the town is the dusty library and the books filling the warehouses and bookshelves.

But the residents of the town have forgotten that paper is made of wood. Although it cannot be nailed to the wall like a wooden board, it can effectively seal all intrusions when exposed to water, even if the entire library sinks into the mud.

Underwater, the space inside is relatively safe.

More people can survive.

"Let's wait until daybreak." Wu Hen sighed.

"Bai Luobo, how did you judge that the library could survive?" At this time, others asked in confusion.

The prison guards who had planned to hide in the stone temple also had chills running down their spines.

If Wu Hen hadn't called everyone in time and asked everyone to hide in the library, their fate would have been the same as those of the wanderers and the lost, and they would all have died.

They didn't understand from what angle Wu Hen analyzed that the town's live exit was in the library?

"Have you ever bought balloons when you were young?" Wu Hen said,

"Yes, adults will buy me different colors every festival." Hu Lu said.

"Then you must have encountered the situation where the balloon you bought accidentally fell off and floated to the roof of the house?" Wu Hen continued.

"Yes, the flat top is okay. Just jump up and grab the balloon rope. But if there is a sharp top, the balloon will get stuck in the sharp gap every time. When I was a kid and I was short, I had to ask an adult to jump up to get it.

." Hu Lu nodded.

When describing this paragraph, Hu Lu, who was belatedly aware of it, did not realize anything, but the expressions of the others changed. They couldn't help but look at the spire of the stone temple. They finally understood why Wu Hen did not choose the stone temple.

Got it!

"No, when you see that the evil spirits here only have heads, do you think of this?" Levi looked at Wu Hen like a monster.

The other people's eyes also became strange, staring at Wu Hen, who was thinking a little abnormally.

"I can't help it. When I was fourteen, I wanted to be a writer of supernatural novels. I just had a rich imagination. But then I was too timid to watch horror movies." Wu Hen shrugged.

Wu Hen also has no hindsight.

When faced with the choice between a stone temple and a library, he intuitively chose the library. The situation was so tense that he had no time to analyze the reasons in detail.

The appearance of the death omen actually saved Levi's and the others' lives. Without the evidence of the death omen, Wu Hen would not dare to let Levi and the others follow him into the library.

The human brain actually makes some key decisions for itself, even if it is not thought about at the time.

Of course, to make the brain achieve this level, it often requires more daily study and reading. No matter how much you remember, the neurons in the brain will suddenly light up when encountering some special situations, otherwise it will be in a crisis.
