The exhaustion that was approaching its limit almost drained him of his strength to lie on the pipe.
His willpower was his last support. Fortunately, it won him some time to catch his breath.
He panted heavily. After all, the last danger spot was a certain distance away from him, so it could not hear his breathing.
Quark witnessed everything, and he was so shocked that he could not close his mouth.
Was there a hunter more outstanding than this young man? What was scarier was his battle EQ and meticulous planning that bordered on insanity.
Although he had the ability to sense danger, …
If this young man grew up, would he … Quark denied the possibility. No matter how outstanding he was, if he could not cross the natural moat, in the end …
Quark sighed faintly as all kinds of complicated emotions surged in his heart.
However, Tang Ling would never know what Quark was thinking.
He was concerned about the last danger spot, but his overworked brain did not allow him to think at the moment.
There would not be a lot of time to rest. Even if the black-horned snakes had a poor sense of smell, they would surely discover the dead bodies of their kind after a while.
'They'll probably be angry.' A thought rose in Tang Ling's numb mind. However, as a matter of fact, as cold-blooded animals, it was hard to believe that snakes had feelings.
Tang Ling felt that his thoughts were ridiculous, but after slightly recovering his stamina, he carefully retreated until he reached the place where his grandmother and the other two were.
"We're left with one last gamble." Tang Ling stated the result in front of Quark's excitement.
"Are you saying that you've killed so many? Haven't you finished them all? " Quark did not seem too concerned. If there was only one blind obstacle left on the way forward, it would not be too troublesome.
"Six. I've only taken care of six. "Tang Ling gestured a number with his finger and continued," I've said it before. There are seven troubles. The most dangerous one is very close to the exit you pointed out. It's less than 30 meters away. "
"How dangerous is it? Is it a big guy?" Quark's tone was still relaxed. He even wanted to jump off the pipe and dash for the exit.
Hundreds of thoughts flashed across Tang Ling's mind at that very moment, but in the end, he pulled Quark back.
"I think you've misunderstood. That place makes me feel like I can't win. It's extremely oppressive and dangerous. "
Quark was stunned all of a sudden. Some terrifying memories instantly gushed into his mind.
Was it that guy? It was a huge black-horned snake. No, perhaps it shouldn't be called a black-horned snake, but …
For a moment, Quark even wanted to jump down the metal pipe and run back. He would rather face the zombies than that bastard!
Tang Ling noticed the change in Quark's expression. He went silent for a second before he said, "We're around 120 meters away from the exit. My perception tells me that the snake's perception range is 40 meters, no more. "
Tang Ling looked calm when he said that, and there was no agitation in his tone.
Undoubtedly, it calmed Quark down a little. Tang Ling's previous performance had left a deep impression on him.
Even though his heart felt it was impossible to cross the final obstacle, Quark still instinctively felt he should trust the young man.
So, Quark licked his dry lips and asked, "What does this mean?"
"My perception range of 40 meters doesn't completely cover the exit. I've calculated its position. It will only sense our presence when we are within seventeen meters of the exit. "
"Based on the black-horned snake's reaction time and speed, it will take around two seconds for it to get close to us and attack us …"
Up until this point, Quark waved his hand a little agitatedly. He softly interrupted Tang Ling, "You shouldn't use the black-horned snake's usual performance to calculate that guy. If you know …"
Quark shut his mouth up. So what if he revealed some facts that the people in the settlement would never know? It would only make everyone more desperate.
However, Tang Ling's expression did not change at all. He said softly, "I've calculated the snake's approximate ability based on the level of danger I sense. In fact, if you have this kind of instinctive perception, you'll get used to this kind of calculation.
Although it's not precise, the general error shouldn't cause fatal consequences. "
Quark was stunned. Was this young man's perception that terrifying? Did he underestimate him?
He did indeed underestimate him, but compared to someone who had crossed the natural moat, Tang Ling's ability seemed to be nothing.
Quark wanted to sigh again, but his gaze at Tang Ling was already slightly grateful.
Struggling in this era, Quark was already an experienced man. He knew that Tang Ling had pulled him back earlier.
Since the information was not on the same level, he was not used as bait by Tang Ling to lure the danger away.
Tang Ling did not care about Quark's gratitude. He continued, "This is the result. You should know that we only have two seconds to cover a distance of seventeen meters. "
"It's not that difficult. The difficult thing is that we have to stop, grab the ladder, and climb up. The process of climbing won't be safe because the distance between the ground and the exit is only 11 meters. There are a total of seven steps. "
"No matter how powerful the snake is, I'm sure it can't climb the ladder. But I'm sure when it attacks, the height when it bounces up is definitely more than 11 meters. "Tang Ling was actually in the mood to make a slightly joking remark at the end.
"It's f * cking impossible to rush out." Quark fell into despair again. Normal humans nowadays could run a distance of 100 meters in around seven to eight seconds.
Running 17 meters in two seconds was certainly not a difficult task. However, to climb the ladder, no matter how fast they were, they would need at least five to six seconds.
Quark did not have Precise Instinct, but he knew the time left for them to rush out was in the negatives.
"So, I'll stall for time. In exchange, you'll be responsible for my mother-in-law and sister's safety. I need them to get out before you, "Tang Ling said calmly without any threat.
Actually, there was no need for threats. Quark also knew that if he did not do it, the young man might have a way to prevent him from escaping.
Gritting his teeth, Quark nodded in agreement.
"Also, I need that thing called dynamite." Tang Ling believed that Quark would not be stingy in the face of life and death.
"No, that thing isn't easy to control! Even if you have that instinct, you're not familiar with it, so you can't use it perfectly. Moreover, under the current conditions, the only way to unleash its power is to ignite it. These guys are very sensitive to light. Do you want to attract more trouble? "Unexpectedly, Quark denied Tang Ling's suggestion.
"You have a way." Tang Ling stared straight at Quark.
Quark met Tang Ling's gaze. After a second of silence, he put the strange thing in his hand into his shirt.
He carefully made a movement.
