In this era, it was not easy to live. Yi Yun knew this very well, but he had never thought that he would one day die while he was still in the prime of his life.
This morning, Yi Yun had invited two of his friends to climb a mountain. One of them was a beautiful chick, so it was naturally a wonderful thing.
Young people always liked excitement, and Yi Yun was no exception. There was no point in climbing those manmade tourist mountains, so they chose a deserted mountain with few people.
Halfway up the desolate mountain, they found a cave.
The chick who was with them immediately became interested and insisted on going in to take a look. But who would have thought that something would happen the moment they entered.
Yi Yun found a square purple crystal in the cave. It looked like a crystal card from a sci-fi movie. Just as Yi Yun thought he found a natural amethyst, and curiously touched the crystal card, the cave suddenly trembled and collapsed!
It was hard to describe Yi Yun's feelings when he saw tens of thousands of tons of rocks crashing down. If he had to describe it in a sentence, it would be that he only knew what it meant to die.
He was young, he was good-looking, he had a healthy body, and he was still a virgin …
In his future life, there should have been many beautiful things waiting for him, but they were all gone.
This sorrow and despair made him suffocate.
The rocks did not hit Yi Yun, but they sealed off Yi Yun's path of retreat.
He was buried alive in a sealed space in the mountain. There was no food, no water, and even limited air. Under such circumstances, Yi Yun knew very well that this place was probably his grave.
Yi Yun stared blankly at the thick mountain wall. Under the illumination of his phone's flashlight, the rough rock wall was like a demon's face. The cold touch made Yi Yun's heart sink bit by bit.
He did not know where his companions went. Logically speaking, when they entered the cave, they were right behind him. When the cave collapsed, the two of them should have been trapped together, but … they were gone.
It was as if she had never entered with Yi Yun. However, Yi Yun clearly remembered that half a minute before the cave collapsed, he had heard the chick behind him speak. She had asked in fear if there were any snakes in the cave.
Two living people, how did they suddenly disappear?
Why did the cave collapse all of a sudden?
In this cave, there was no cell phone signal, and his two friends' fates were unknown. It was really hopeless. Yi Yun did not want to sit still and wait for death. He even thought of digging a hole out. If there was only a small piece of rock from the landslide, digging a hole might have a slim chance of survival.
When a person was about to die, they would always burst forth with a strong will and combat strength. Even if there was a small hope, they would still give it a try.
Yi Yun did it the moment he thought of it, but using his hands to dig was definitely not possible. He did not bring any tools like a dagger. At this moment, Yi Yun's mind flashed. He thought of the crystal card.
It looked like a small shovel. Even though it was smaller and had no handle, it was still better than digging by hand.
Turning his head to look at the mysterious crystal card in the cave, Yi Yun's heart skipped a beat. On careful thought, the moment he touched the crystal card, the cave had collapsed.
How could it be so coincidental?
And the most puzzling thing was that his two friends had disappeared into thin air.
With a series of unbelievable phenomena, Yi Yun suddenly had an inexplicable thought. Was it possible that everything that had happened today was due to the crystal card?
He looked at the purple crystal card. It was a slightly protruding, flat rock. On top of the rock, the nightmarish purple crystal card was placed there, glowing slightly.
Yi Yun hesitated for a while and switched off his cell phone's flashlight. He realized that in the dark cave, with the help of the purple card's light, he could see in a hazy manner.
Yi Yun knew that this crystal card was not amethyst. Crystals did not emit light, but in nature, there were minerals that contained radioactive elements that could emit light.
Now, Yi Yun did not care if the radioactive elements' radiation would harm his body. He picked up the purple crystal card and wanted to study it. If this crystal card had caused the cave to collapse, could it be an opportunity for him to escape?
Yi Yun knew the chances were slim, but with death at hand, he had no choice but to make every possible effort.
The crystal card was cold to the touch. This coldness seemed to flow through the blood vessels in his arm and into his heart. Its size was slightly bigger than an adult's palm, and its thickness was thinner than a palm.
The crystal card was purple in color, and there were mysterious patterns engraved on it. These patterns were clearly not formed naturally, and seemed to be carved by someone.
Who could have carved it? Could it be that these patterns were some kind of ancient totem, or some kind of mysterious language?
It could even be from beyond Earth, and was it an extraterrestrial civilization?
With such a bizarre event happening, Yi Yun's imagination went wild. He was sure that the cave's collapse had something to do with the purple crystal card. It was not an earthquake, so why would a natural cave suddenly collapse?
Holding the crystal card in his hand, Yi Yun realized that the four sides of the crystal card were as sharp as blades. This ignited a glimmer of hope in his heart. At least using it to dig would save him some effort.
Yi Yun no longer hesitated. With the crystal card in his hand, he walked towards the unknown thickness of the rock wall.
With both hands holding the edge of the crystal card, he used all his strength to shovel it down. Then, an incredible thing happened. The hard rock was like tofu under the crystal card that was the size of a palm. It was sliced open in an instant. As Yi Yun had used too much strength, the rock could not withstand the force, so he ended up slamming into the rock wall.
Yi Yun was dumbfounded. Ignoring his broken forehead, he stared blankly at the purple crystal card in his hand. After a moment of shock, he was overjoyed.
This was like a laser knife from a science fiction movie.
At this moment, he did not have the mood to study how this thing could be so sharp. He only wanted to dig out.
Holding the crystal card with both hands, Yi Yun began digging like a mole. The crystal card was invincible. Even the hard granite was cut open by it.
Yi Yun was excited. He felt that he had picked up a treasure!
If he could really get out of here alive, this thing might be able to change his fate. It might even contain the technology of aliens!
Yi Yun did not know how long he had been digging, nor did he know if it was an illusion. Every time he felt exhausted, the crystal card in his hand would emit a faint coolness, allowing him to recover a bit of strength. He continued digging persistently and tirelessly.
There was no way of knowing day and night in the cave. Yi Yun did not sleep or rest. His survival instincts kept him moving forward and forward.
His cell phone had long run out of battery. He had completely lost his sense of time. Three days? Five days? Seven days?
Yi Yun did not know. He had not eaten a single grain of rice or drank a single drop of water. But miraculously, he did not die. It was as if the mysterious energy from the crystal card had extended his life.
If one looked back at the path Yi Yun had dug, they would realize that it was terrifying. But Yi Yun did not notice this. His vision was already blurred.
He could not see clearly in front of him. He could not see the rocks. Only the coolness from the purple crystal card in his hand was extremely clear.
He seemed to gradually lose his senses. With his willpower and tenacity, he continued digging in a daze. At a certain moment, he suddenly felt a light in front of him. It was as if a faint light had penetrated through the cracks in the soil and shone on his face.
Like an unconscious person being doused with a pail of cold water, Yi Yun woke up with a start!
Light!
There's light!
Yi Yun had never thought that there would be a day when light was so beautiful. He could not help but burst into tears. The strength that he had previously lost seemed to have returned to his body. He gritted his teeth and dug crazily.
Finally!
Yi Yun felt his vision suddenly empty. Following that, a bright and glaring light shone down on him. He could not open his eyes.
He crawled out from the ground!
"Success!"
"I survived!"
Yi Yun wanted to shout three times. Without experiencing darkness, one would not know how rare light was. Without experiencing death, it was difficult to understand the value of life.
Yi Yun lay on the ground, gasping for breath. He looked at the blue sky and the leisurely white clouds. He had never felt that the blue sky was so beautiful.
Although his body was extremely tired and thirsty, Yi Yun did not rest. He gritted his teeth and climbed up. He wanted to contact his two friends.
Yi Yun had escaped death. He did not know how his friends were.
But … his cell phone was out of battery.
Yi Yun looked around to see if there were any signs of human habitation. But when he looked around, Yi Yun was stunned.
How … How is this possible?
Yi Yun clearly remembered that when he was climbing the mountain, he was buried alive in a cave. The cave was halfway up the mountain, so he should have been halfway up the mountain when he crawled out.
But, Yi Yun was actually on a large plain. Although there were mountains around him, the distance between him and the mountains was so far that a horse could run to death. Yi Yun absolutely did not believe that he could dig so far.
Around him, there were a few arched mounds. In front of the mounds, there was a piece of wood. On the wood, there were strange words written with charcoal. It was extremely rough …
Could this be … a grave?
Yi Yun was stunned. How did he appear in the middle of so many graves!? Having died once before, Yi Yun's nerves were much stronger. Even if he encountered such an unreasonable situation, he could still calm down and carefully observe the graves.
These tombstones were not modern cemeteries at all. The cemeteries in modern cities were all neatly arranged with marble or granite tablets.
But the graves in front of him … Even the most remote graves in the mountains were much better than these.
Wait …
Yi Yun suddenly realized something. He looked down and saw that the "tunnel" he had crawled out of was still there. And the tunnel's exit was in front of a mound. And beside the mound, there was a wooden tombstone.
The wooden plank had strange words written on it. But for some reason, Yi Yun's mind flashed and he understood the words.
It wrote, "Beloved brother, Yi Yun's grave".
Beside it were five words, "Elder sister, Jiang Xiaorou".
Yi … Yi Yun's … grave!?
Yi Yun was completely dumbfounded. What kind of supernatural event was this? He was clearly buried alive in a cave in a barren mountain, but he had been dug out from a grave, and this grave was his own!
What kind of joke was this!?
Moreover, these words were not Chinese characters, nor were they English. How could he recognize such inexplicable words?
This must be a dream …
Yes, it must be a dream. This dream is quite realistic … It seems … Yi Yun looked around and felt guilty. It was too realistic!
He pinched himself hard, and the result was … pain.
He pinched again, and it hurt!
"It's not a dream? This isn't a f * * king dream? "
Yi Yun felt ten thousand "f * * k" horses running through his mind. Who can tell me what the hell is going on?
Yi Yun was already cursing in his heart.
Could it be that he was already dead when he was buried alive in the cave, and was later dug out and buried? Was the digging of the tunnel just a hallucination before his death?
But … What did the words "beloved brother" mean? He did not have an elder sister. If he had to talk about an elder sister, it would be a cousin who lived in another city. He did not interact much with her, and had only seen her a few times. It was impossible for her to erect a tombstone for him!
It was impossible to say that the "Yi Yun" on the tombstone had the same name as him, but was actually someone else. How could there be such a coincidence that he had crawled out from the grave of someone with the same name as "Yi Yun"?
