Chapter 290 Singing Nursery Rhymes
His heart was full of contradictions and fears. On the one hand, he did not want to be attacked by the python and was afraid of losing his life;
On the other hand, he felt that he had let the captain down and his conscience was greatly condemned.
The python continued to tighten its body, and the captain's breathing became more and more difficult.
His face turned from red to purple, and his eyes gradually lost their luster.
He knew he might not live long, but he was unwilling to die like this.
He looked at Qi Tongwei again, his eyes full of expectation and pleading.
Qi Tongwei looked at the captain's eyes, fear and guilt intertwined in his heart.
He knew he couldn't back down any longer, or he would never be able to forgive himself.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He looked around for something he could use to deal with the python.
However, there was nothing in the place except pythons and some dilapidated equipment.
Qi Tongwei felt desperate, but he did not give up.
He remembered some iron rods he had seen in the pipe, and perhaps he could use them to attack the python.
He turned quickly and prepared to return to the pipe to get the iron rod.
But the moment he turned around, another python pounced on him.
Qi Tongwei dodged in horror, but the python was too fast and he was still hit by its tail and fell heavily to the ground.
Qi Tongwei felt a sharp pain, as if his body was falling apart.
But he had no time to care about his injuries. He had to get the iron rod as soon as possible, otherwise both the captain and he would die here.
He struggled to his feet and rushed toward the pipe again.
The moment he entered the pipe, he looked back at the captain.
The captain's eyes had become blurred, but he still persisted, waiting for Qi Tongwei's rescue.
Qi Tongwei crawled into the pipe and crawled forward desperately.
The pungent smell in the pipe made it difficult for him to breathe, but he did not complain at all.
He had only one thought in his mind, which was to get the iron rod as soon as possible and rescue the captain.
Finally, he found the iron bars. He picked up one of them, held it tightly in his hand, and then turned and crawled back.
When he returned to that dangerous place again, he saw that the captain was dying.
The python was still tightly wrapped around him, showing no sign of loosening.
Qi Tongwei plucked up his courage and walked towards the python with an iron rod.
The python sensed his presence and raised its head, hissing threateningly.
Qi Tongwei's heart was in his throat, but he did not back down.
He raised the iron rod and smashed it hard on the python's body.
The python was enraged. It let go of the captain and pounced on Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei quickly dodged and attacked the python again.
He knew that he couldn't be afraid, and only by facing the python bravely could he have a chance of survival.
After a fierce fight, Qi Tongwei finally repelled the python.
He quickly ran to the captain and checked his injuries.
The captain's shoulder was covered in blood and his face was as pale as paper.
Qi Tongwei's heart was filled with guilt and self-blame. He knew that if it weren't for his fear of death, the captain might not have been injured so seriously.
"Captain, I'm sorry..." Qi Tongwei said with a sob.
The captain opened his eyes weakly and looked at Qi Tongwei.
There was no more complaint in his eyes, only understanding and tolerance.
"It's okay, it's not your fault..." the captain said, his voice weak and hoarse.
Qi Tongwei's tears welled up in his eyes, he knew that the captain was comforting him.
He secretly vowed to take the captain away from this terrible place, even at the cost of his own life.
However, their situation remains extremely dangerous.
The surrounding pythons did not leave. They were watching them hungrily from a distance, ready to attack again at any time.
Qi Tongwei and the captain must find a safe place as soon as possible, otherwise they will not be able to escape the python's pursuit.
Qi Tongwei carried the captain on his back and walked forward cautiously.
They dared not make any noise for fear of attracting the python's attention.
They groped in the darkness, looking for a way out.
As time passed, their physical strength was gradually depleted.
Qi Tongwei felt his steps becoming heavier and heavier, but he did not dare to stop.
He knew that if they stopped, they might never get out of this place.
Time was like a heavy shackle, dragging Qi Tongwei and the captain forward in this terrifying and desperate situation every second.
Qi Tongwei's footsteps became heavier and heavier, and every step seemed to use up all his strength.
He felt that his physical strength was being consumed at an alarming rate, as if his body was hollowed out, and his limbs were gradually becoming numb.
The surrounding pipes are intricate, like a huge maze.
Some of the pipes had rusted and cracked, and water dripped from them from time to time, making a heart-pounding dripping sound.
Some pipes are clogged with debris and piled with all kinds of waste items, emitting a smell of decay.
Qi Tongwei shuttled between these pipes with difficulty, his heart filled with despair.
He knew that they were trapped in a dilemma from which there was no escape.
This place seems like a cursed hell, full of danger and unknowns everywhere.
He began to doubt whether he could get out of here alive, and wondered why life treated them so cruelly.
"Can we really get out?" Qi Tongwei kept asking himself in his heart.
He looked at the seriously injured captain beside him, and his worry grew stronger.
The captain was in a very bad condition at the moment. His face was as pale as paper, his eyes were dull, and his breathing was weak.
The wounds on his body were still bleeding, staining his clothes red.
The captain's consciousness began to blur and his words became unclear.
In this desperate situation, he actually started singing 300 nursery rhymes.
The childish singing voice seemed particularly strange in this eerie environment.
“Twinkle, twinkle little star, the sky is full of little stars…” The captain’s voice was weak and trembling, as if it came from a distant place.
Qi Tongwei felt sad when listening to the captain's singing.
He knew that the captain had fallen into a semi-comatose state, and this song might be the last bit of warmth and hope in his heart.
Qi Tongwei stopped and gently put the captain on the ground, trying to make him more comfortable.
He looked at the captain's weak appearance, his heart filled with guilt and self-blame.
If it weren't for his wrong decision, if they hadn't fallen into this horrible place, the captain wouldn't have been injured so badly.
"Captain, hold on, we will definitely get out." Qi Tongwei said firmly.
His voice was not loud, but it was full of power.
He knew that he couldn't give up now, he had to take the captain away from here alive.
However, the reality is extremely cruel.
The situation they were in became increasingly dangerous and the environment around them became more hostile.
