Chapter 132 Which path is their chance of survival?
Facing the fork in the road, everyone fell silent. The darkness around them seemed to become thicker at this moment, weighing heavily on everyone's heart.
Ruan Jianan held Lin Yanan's hand tightly, his eyes wandering back and forth between the two passages, his brows furrowed. Fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, flickering in the weak light. His hands trembled slightly because of nervousness, but he never let go of Lin Yanan's hand, as if it was his only support in this endless darkness. His lips were tightly closed, forming a firm line, but the inner entanglement was revealed in his eyes.
Lin Yanan snuggled up to him, her eyes showing anxiety and dependence. Her body pressed tightly against Ruan Jianan, as if she wanted to draw some courage and strength from him. Her eyes sometimes looked to the passage on the left that was filled with strange fog, and sometimes turned to the passage on the right that was roaring. Every time her eyes shifted, her body trembled involuntarily. Her fingers tightly grasped the corner of Ruan Jianan's clothes, and her voice trembled a little: "Jianan, I'm so scared, I don't know what to do."
Qin Hao squatted down and carefully observed the signs of the passage, but found nothing. His brows were twisted into a deep knot, and his eyes were full of confusion and anxiety. He gently touched the ground with his hand, feeling the subtle differences, but still couldn't judge which passage was safer. He stood up, patted the dust on his hands, and shook his head helplessly, "These two passages seem to be full of dangers. We must choose carefully."
The stranger stood aside with a serious expression, looking at Ruan Jianan from time to time, as if waiting for his decision. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, one hand gently stroking his chin, thinking about countermeasures. His eyes revealed a hint of determination, but also mixed with fear of the unknown. His breathing was steady and deep, trying to keep himself calm, but his slightly trembling shoulders still betrayed his inner tension.
At this time, the fog in the left passage became thicker, as if some mysterious power was surging. The fog seemed to have life, slowly spreading towards everyone, carrying a cold and damp breath. Wherever the fog passed, a thin layer of water droplets condensed on the wall, dripping onto the ground, making a crisp sound.
Lin Yanan was frightened by the approaching fog and screamed, "Jian'an, the fog seems to be swallowing us up!"
Ruan Jianan hugged his wife tightly and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Qin Hao looked at the approaching fog and said, "This fog is too strange. We can't enter easily."
The roaring sound in the right passage became clearer and more frightening. It seemed to come from an ancient beast, full of anger and threats. Every roar made the entire passage tremble slightly, and sand and stones fell from the top of the head.
Strange man: "The sound from the right passage sounds too dangerous. Maybe if we go in, we will become prey to that unknown creature."
Ruan Jianan was in an extreme struggle. He looked at his wife's frightened eyes, then at Qin Hao and the strange man's expectant eyes. He knew that this decision was related to everyone's life and death.
He took a deep breath and said, "We can't just sit here and wait for death. The fog on the left may be mysterious, but it may just be a natural phenomenon. The roaring sound on the right may be terrible, but it may just be an illusion caused by the wind or the sound of water."
Lin Yanan grabbed his arm tightly, "Jian'an, have you really decided?"
Ruan Jianan nodded, "Honey, believe me."
Qin Hao and the strange man looked at each other and nodded, indicating that they agreed with Ruan Jianan's decision.
Just as they were about to step into the passage on the left, a sharp cry suddenly came from the fog.
Everyone's heartbeats accelerated instantly and they hesitated again.
