Chapter 167 Light Source

"How long have we been walking?" Dodge asked Lewin, who was leading the way.

Dodge felt like they had been walking for a very long time, but he still couldn't see the end, and he didn't know when they would reach the next section.

"Well… I guess it's been about an hour… But how is this road so long? We've been walking for ages and haven't seen a glimmer of light."

In fact, Lewin had long felt that something was wrong. This dark passage was too long. He didn't know why, but this inexplicable situation made Lewin feel fear and an indescribable sense of oppression.

Fatty saw that Lewin was unsure and a little panicked, so he said to Lewin, "Why don't we take a break where we are? I feel like we've been walking for nearly ten hours."

Everyone was already a little tired, so since Fatty had spoken, they might as well rest for a while.

With an uncertain future, everyone was silent, and Fatty didn't say a word, leaning against the wall to rest.

The torch stood in the middle of the four people, and the firelight shone on everyone's faces. Except for Fatty, who was resting with his eyes closed and a calm expression, the other three had different expressions.

Although Lewin had lived here for more than two hundred years, his survival instinct made him particularly concerned about self-preservation. His expression was full of worry about the unknown road ahead.

Dodge seemed much more confused. Ever since Fatty saved his life from the chimpanzee, he had only wanted to survive. Now, he absolutely couldn't find a way to escape on his own, so he could only rely on Fatty and the others. After this experience, Dodge was completely honest. He no longer made trouble or had any other intentions.

As for Zoey, on the one hand, she wanted to find Jennifer as soon as possible, just like Fatty. On the other hand, she wanted to find a way to escape as soon as possible, to avoid being trapped here for hundreds of years like Lewin. Although there was some uncertainty about the future in her eyes, she was the most determined of the four.

Except for Fatty, who was ill and deserved to sleep soundly and comfortably, the others were tired but had no intention of sleeping at this time, only taking a short nap.

In the dark environment, the torch was the only source of light. Darkness gave a sense of chaos, and this faint light appropriately gave a sense of direction, allowing everyone to have an anchored position in the darkness.

The "long night" was endless, and everyone was a little tired and drowsy.

Zoey's eyelids were fighting, and she was about to fall asleep in a daze.

Zoey couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality. She felt that the fire on the torch in front of her was getting brighter and brighter, like a light bulb, fully charged, the filament shining brightly, the light becoming more and more intense, and the bulb seemed to be about to explode at any moment.

Zoey felt that her eyes were about to be blinded by the increasingly intense light in front of her. She wanted to close her eyes, and she felt that she had clearly closed her eyes, but she could still see the shining light in front of her.

Zoey suddenly woke up, and then she realized that she was just having a nightmare. She gasped不停地, trying to calm down from the horror of the nightmare.

Zoey didn't know when she fell asleep. At the same time, she found that Lewin and Dodge were already asleep.

"Hey, what's going on with this light…"

Zoey was stunned by the sudden light in front of her. She wondered if the light from the torch was not as bright as she remembered. Where did this light come from?

Could those feelings just now not have been a dream?

Zoey muttered to herself, looking in the direction of the light source.

When Zoey saw what was producing the light, she was so frightened that she immediately woke up.

Zoey instinctively woke up Lewin and Dodge beside her. Lewin and Dodge were also drowsy, but when they saw the thing in the direction of the light source, they were also frightened into a cold sweat. Dodge even stood up immediately.

The light came from the crystal grid behind Fatty. Fatty was still snoring quietly, and because he was facing away from the light source, he didn't realize the strangeness around him.

"Fatty! Fatty!"

Zoey stared at the position of the light source, glanced at Fatty with her peripheral vision, and called out to Fatty urgently.

Fatty was awakened by the sudden shouting. He opened his eyes half-asleep, his vocal cords not fully awake, and he asked vaguely, "Hmm… what's wrong?"

Zoey pointed exaggeratedly behind Fatty, and Fatty slowly turned his head to look in the direction Zoey indicated.

With this one look, Fatty felt his head go numb. This tingling sensation spread all the way to the back of his neck. Before this tingling sensation paralyzed his ability to move, he quickly took a few steps back.

Fatty retreated repeatedly in the face of the godless eye behind the crystal grid wall, which was as big as a wheel.

When Fatty retreated to Zoey's side, he could see clearly what the glowing object and the eye were.

The crystal grid wall was like a transparent wall.

It was a huge strange fish. The strange fish had a huge luminous body on its head, like a light bulb, emitting dazzling light to the surroundings.

This strange fish was huge, and the protruding big mouth revealed a row of sharp teeth, each tooth more than a person tall. Its wheel-like eyes stared intently at Fatty and the others, as if it would break through the barrier and rush towards them at any moment.
