Jiang Shan held the "wall" with her hands, and her hands were slippery and sticky, like the entrails of animals. She seemed to have returned to the time when she was most helpless, weak and unable to ask for help.
She stretched out her hand to rub her eyes, feeling like something was falling down from her eyes. She rubbed hard, and the things fell out more and more fiercely.
What's going on? Did her eyes turn into black holes too?
Jiang Shan's whole body trembled, and the intense fear she had not felt for a long time overwhelmed her. She did not dare to rub her eyes anymore, but instead pawed around with her hands, trying to find a fulcrum.
"Jiang Shan!"
Suddenly she heard this voice, so familiar, Jiang Shan became excited: "Zhao Ying!"
Jiang Shan heard the sound of footsteps, and Zhao Ying walked towards her quickly. Jiang Shan felt someone pulling his arm, "Great, are you okay?"
Jiang Shan couldn't help but tremble: "What's going on? Where has everyone gone?"
Zhao Ying's voice said: "They all went ahead to explore the road first. The situation here is very wrong. We'd better be careful."
Jiang Shan tried to open her eyes wide, but still couldn't see anything. She listened to Zhao Ying's voice: "What's wrong with me? What happened just now..."
She felt that her eyes were extremely itchy and she wanted to scratch them. She tried hard to scratch out the holes.
Zhao Ying held her arm tightly and seemed to comfort her warmly: "You suddenly passed out just now, which scared us all. Gao Wenwu checked you for a long time and said that there might be some substance in the air here that caused you In a coma, Wei Yuan almost gave the order for us to withdraw."
Jiang Shan felt her head twitching as she listened to Zhao Ying's explanation. Was she in a coma? How long have you been unconscious?
"What happened next?" Why did she wake up and find herself alone. "My eyes, have my eyes turned into holes..."
Zhao Ying seemed surprised: "Your eyes are fine."
Jiang Shan couldn't tell whether she was relieved or worried. She only knew that her eyes were still dark.
Zhao Ying's voice sounded worried: "Don't be afraid, we are all here."
Jiang Shan didn't dare to blink anymore. She was afraid that she would really poke holes in her eyes.
Zhao Ying's hand on her arm seemed to be a little stronger, "I will take you to find everyone now, don't be afraid, just follow me."
Jiang Shan felt a force carrying her forward. At this time, she could only follow slowly and obediently, but she seemed to trip on something under her feet, and the thing made a sound like a scream.
Jiang Shan became even more uneasy. It seemed that the darkness in her eyes brought her endless fear. It turned out that this was how it felt to be in the dark.
She remembered that in the library, everyone except her was facing invisible human shadows. She had never realized how profound this fear was.
Now, it seemed that only Zhao Ying's strength in pulling her was real.
But why didn't Zhao Ying seem to make any sound? Can't even hear the footsteps?
"Zhao Ying, are you still there?" Jiang Shan froze for a moment.
However, Zhao Ying quickly replied: "I'm here."
It was Zhao Ying's voice, at least the voice in Jiang Shan's memory. Jiang Shan didn't know how to react.
Zhao Ying said: "We are almost there, they are right in front."
Jiang Shan knew that he should not doubt his friends, especially Zhao Ying. Perhaps it was because she was in extreme instability now, so she felt insecure.
"Why are you the only one here?"
"Everyone wants to find a way out as soon as possible, but they are worried that something will happen to you, so we can only let you rest where you are. It's all my fault. I should always be with you..."
Zhao Ying's words made Jiang Shan a little silent and uneasy again, until Zhao Ying said again: "I guess the fishy smell here may be too strong, and you are stimulated."
She pulled Jiang Shan and kept walking forward. Suddenly Jiang Shan was startled and then stopped.
Jiang Shan raised her "eyes". She knew that she was still invisible, but she looked in the direction of Zhao Ying in her subconscious.
"Why?"
Zhao Ying seemed a little confused: "What's wrong? We should meet everyone quickly."
Jiang Shan recalled the road she had just walked. One of her hands was held by Zhao Ying, and the other hand was actually open with her palm open. She felt the airflow with her palm, but she didn't feel it during their walk. There is air movement.
No, this is not normal.
"Aren't you wearing protective clothing, Zhao Ying?" Jiang Shan suddenly asked.
The strength of Zhao Ying's hand on her arm didn't seem to be like five human fingers at all.
"Zhao Ying" in front of him didn't make a sound for a long time. Jiang Shan couldn't help but raise his trembling hand and touched the front.
She didn't touch Zhao Ying. She waved her hand twice and didn't touch anything.
Zhao Ying's voice came, seeming very surprised: "What are you doing, Jiang Shan?"
Jiang Shan's hand froze, and she never dared to touch the "hand" on her arm.
She paused and said to Zhao Ying: "You don't seem to have called me that before."
Jiang Shan's voice was much calmer this time, as if he was back to before entering the aquarium.
After she finished speaking, Zhao Ying on the opposite side seemed to be silent for a longer time, but Jiang Shan was not so panicked. She calmly began to recall what was wrong along the way.
Fishy smell. Zhao Ying just said, "I guess the fishy smell here is too strong and you are stimulated."
That's right, that's it.
However, except for Jiang Shan himself, no one else should be able to smell the fishy smell of this aquarium.
Why did Zhao Ying, who couldn't smell it, blurt out that it must be the fishy smell of the aquarium that caused Jiang Shan's problem.
Jiang Shan touched her other arm with her hand. There was no Zhao Ying holding her hand, nothing there. But the force that dragged her forward never disappeared.
Even Zhao Ying's voice continued to sound: "Come on, Jiang Shan, why are you standing there in a daze?"
Jiang Shan heard her heavy breathing, and she felt that her feet became sticky, and everything seemed unreal.
"Follow me, you follow me... follow me!"
Zhao Ying's voice began to change, like an echo of what Jiang Shan had heard before. "Why don't you leave?! Follow me quickly..."
Jiang Shan clenched her hands tightly. She seemed to be fighting against some kind of force that restrained her. The force spread from her arms to wrap around her whole body. It felt sticky, as if her internal organs were still skin. Let her fall into the abyss, but Jiang Shan struggled desperately, and she stretched herself into a dying fish.
Jiang Shan seemed to hear a distorted voice: "Follow me, go~~hiss!"
…
"Ashan!"
"Ashan!"
"Wake up quickly! Ashan!"
A cry from four different voices.
