”Huff … Huff …”
Looking at the note that had fallen into a deep sleep, Fang Zhoushu heaved a sigh of relief. The huge stone in his heart had finally been lifted. When he heard the note let out a bloodcurdling scream just now, Fang Zhoushu didn't dare to make another move. He was afraid that the bill would die from the intense pain.
But from the looks of it, the will of the police to survive was not bad.
He had successfully endured the first stage of expelling the corpse poison.
Although the note had already passed the first stage of expelling the corpse poison, but looking at the purple lips of the note, the worry in Fang Zishu's eyes did not decrease, but instead increased.
Because the chain of actions that he did just now was only the first step to get rid of the corpse poison. Facing such a vicious corpse poison, there were still a lot of things that needed to be done, such as how to maximize the limits of the corpse poison's effects and its aftereffects.
Of course, to withstand the backlash of the corpse poison, the System would still need to rely on their own tenacious willpower, no matter how hard Fang Zhoushu and the rest tried, they could not bear the pain. The only thing they could do was to use all sorts of methods to suppress the corpse poison's attack on their heart, allowing the System to minimize the pain.
Fang Zishu originally wanted to carefully consider the ancient book's records regarding the 'Nine Palace Eight Trigram Formation', and see if he could find a way to break through this formation.
However, the appearance of the note made Fang Zishu give up his original plan. From his point of view, since the note had walked out of the tunnel filled with fog, it meant that the note was very clear on the inner workings of the tunnel.
As the saying goes, 'know yourself, know your enemy. A hundred battles are not enough.' If you can get the details of what happened in the tunnel from the police, then you can come up with a plan to deal with it in advance.
However, the most important thing right now was that the police officer had already fallen into a deep coma due to the corpse poison. From the looks of it, he would not be able to wake up within a short period of time. Just in case, Fang Zishu planned to discuss it with Professor Xu and the others and suggest that they wait for the note at the entrance of the passage to awaken.
Fortunately, they had plenty of food and water with them, enough to last them for a week on the spot. With no worries about food or water, everyone agreed to Fang Zhoushu's suggestion and decided to stay where they were until the note woke up again.
People said that time flew by, but in this dark array, the curve of time seemed to lengthen infinitely in this narrow space, and every minute and every second felt like a long time.
Here, Fang Zishu did not feel that time flowed. The only thing he could do was to do his best to take care of the unconscious Warrick, hoping he would wake up earlier.
In the darkness of the night, everyone's mood became downcast.
Initially, she could still take care of the cops, but in the end, her eyelids were trembling from sleepiness. Seeing this, Fang Zhisu took the initiative to take care of the cops himself.
The night was dark, and the fog was still there.
It was unknown how much time had passed. Perhaps it was a few hours, or it could be one day and one night.
Without the timer, he didn't know how long it had been in the outside world. The only thing he was sure of was that while they were waiting for the note to awaken, they had eaten a total of six times.
If the interval between each meal was six hours, it proved that they had spent at least thirty-six hours at the mouth of the passage.
