Chapter 346: The Way Out
Is it dead?
Lu Yang panicked for a while, and just as he was about to swim back, he suddenly heard some faint sounds of water coming from further down......
If the water is smothered and flowing, there will be no such water sound, and this water sound means that there is a drop below, and the water gushes out of a hole and falls on the water surface in another place, so that such a sound can be made.
The question is, what will be the place there?
This mine is already very deep, and if you go further down, will it not go into the mantle?
Thinking about it like this, Lu Yang slid down a long distance again, and the waterway in this section became tighter and tighter, causing the water to flow faster, and it was more difficult for Lu Yang to swim back.
Just take a gamble and continue downstream?
It's not a gamble, because there's no possibility of swimming back.
Moreover, even if they swam back and were guarded by those two monsters, they could only continue to stay in the waterhole, and they would still freeze to death in the end.
Lu Yang was in a nervous mood, and let the water carry him down and down......
He had been holding his breath for too long, which had made him more and more uncomfortable, and it was now at least six minutes before he last went into the water, which was beyond his previous limit.
For ordinary people, holding their breath for more than a minute will be very uncomfortable, and the longest record of human breath holding in the water has only reached 11 minutes and 35 seconds, Lu Yang has not carried out special training in this area, six or seven minutes is basically his limit.
The fact that he is still able to hold on to it is related to the fact that the groundwater is very cold, and the cold water causes the blood vessels outside Lu Yang's body to constrict, and the blood flows from the ends of his limbs to his heart and brain, so that his heart rate will be greatly slowed down and the chance of oxygen spreading throughout the body will be reduced.
The human brain automatically monitors the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood, and decides when to trigger the breathing reflex, rapid and deep breathing can expel carbon dioxide from the body, and then prolong the breath holding time as much as possible before reaching the limit of the body, Lu Yang took rapid and deep breaths continuously before entering the water, and his large lung capacity is also one of the reasons why he can hold on for so long. (The text version comes from the trick - electricity - brain - bar - between the fingers of Rasheng)
It's just that he is getting closer and closer to the limit of the human body, and after the brain feels that the carbon dioxide content in his blood has far exceeded the normal value, it keeps triggering the respiratory reflex, but now there is no air around his body at all, only water, and the result of this respiratory reflex will cause Lu Yang to drink a large amount of groundwater, and choke a large amount of groundwater in his lungs, and finally suffocate to death in this underground water flow.
Lu Yang became more and more uncomfortable, his body couldn't help but start to twitch, and his mind became a little trance, and at a certain moment, he found something floating not far in front of his body, so he subconsciously used the flashlight above his head to shine there.
The current was very fast, and Lu Yang soon had a close contact with that thing......
It's actually a human head!
A puffy human head with long hair......
The human head was strung with a thin iron chain from the eye socket, and the other end of the thin iron chain was pierced through the back of the head and welded to an iron block, which fell to the bottom of the water, and although it was heavy, it was still slowly moved down by the impact of the current......
The head was so swollen that Lu Yang couldn't tell who this person was, but her long hair proved that she was a woman.
There was no head in the body last night, which seemed to give Lu Yang a hint that there was a head in the pool.
And the scene seen now confirms that this is the place where the body was dumped.
Could it be that Hu Yulan was thrown here?
The problem is that Lu Yang has reached the limit of his breath now, and he can no longer suppress his breathing center.
However, as a result of the brain's spontaneous breathing, he choked on a lung of water and drank a lot of water.
This not only did not solve his breathing problem, but made him even more uncomfortable.
Lu Yang's body twitched violently in the water, and after choking on a lot of water, Lu Yang's mind became completely blurred.
Are you going to die?
Are you going to die here?
Lu Yang finally fell unconscious.
When he woke up again, Lu Yang coughed violently, as if he was going to cough out his lungs, his trachea was very uncomfortable, even painful, and his stomach was very uncomfortable.
After opening his eyes, Lu Yang found that the waterproof flashlight above his head was still on, which allowed him to see everything in front ......of him clearly.
There was the sound of water everywhere, and there was a strong rancid smell in the air.
Lu Yang felt as if there was something around him, he subconsciously glanced to the side, and found that a puffy face and miserable white eyes were looking at him......
Lu Yang hurriedly sat up, only to find that he was actually sitting next to a pile of corpses!
Behind him is a big hole, the water seems to flow down diagonally from above, washing a large number of corpses here, because the terrain here is very flat and open, so the original deep and turbulent water flow here has become very slow and shallow, Lu Yang was probably washed here after being unconscious.
The corpses piled up here were wearing miners' uniforms, so that Lu Yang recognized at a glance that they should be miners here, and after dying in a mining accident, they were somehow discarded here.
No, this pit should have been out of production for a long time, right? Why haven't the corpses completely decomposed?
Forget it, the things in the strange realm, the reappearance of the old scene can be realistic, who knows if I have crossed the line of time and space now?
After Lu Yang came to a stone next to him and sat down, he sorted out his thoughts a little.
It seems that the groundwater does not go directly to the ground, and there is such a buffer zone in between, so he was not drowned, but after falling unconscious, he rushed into this buffer zone and came back to life.
And these miners, it is very likely that after they were killed, they fell into the pool, or they were directly abandoned in the pool, and then drifted here.
Speaking of which, this is indeed a good place to hide corpses, because no one can come here, except for Lu Yang, who died in a daze.
By the way, before falling unconscious, Lu Yang remembered seeing a woman's swollen head, which was chained, hung on an iron block, and thrown into the pool.
Regardless of whether the miners were murdered or not, the woman must have been murdered, otherwise the murderer would not have gone to such great lengths to put chains on his head and tie iron to sink into the water.
It's a pity that her head was too swollen, and Lu Yang's mind was blurred at that time, so he didn't see who she was at all.
The biggest possibility is Hu Yulan, right?
Now the clues seem to be all broken again.
Forget it, my head is a little dizzy, I don't want to think about this for the time being, while the flashlight is still bright, let's see if there is a way out here.
After searching around, Lu Yang really found a waterless cave, not like it was artificially dug, but like a naturally formed cave.
There's no other way to go anyway, so let's explore the cave and see if you can get out of here.
This cave is indeed naturally formed, according to Lu Yang's research on the limestone on the cave wall, and the streamlined and slippery wall above, Lu Yang concluded that the entire cave should have been soaked in water before, which belongs to one of the underground water channels.
Luckily, it happened that the groundwater dried up a lot during this time, so this large shallow beach and a cave for walking were left, otherwise Lu Yang would really be suffocated to death in the groundwater.
The underground cave bends and turns, Lu Yang keeps walking forward with his head stuffy, and in most of the half an hour, he has encountered many forks in the road, and even walked into some dead ends, as well as the road to the underground water again, but he finally found a main road, which has been extending forward and upward, giving Lu Yang hope for survival.
Just when Lu Yang was extremely tired and wanted to find a raised place to sit down and rest for a while, there was a panicked footsteps not far away.
"Who!?" Lu Yang shouted.
The voice stopped, and he must have heard Lu Yang's shouting.
Lu Yang couldn't help but feel very strange in his heart, he ran to such an extremely secret place where birds don't...... Where birds can't get in, can you still meet people?
It can't be a human, it's probably a ghost.
It's a ghost, but Lu Yang is not afraid......
It can't be one of those four-legged miners, right?
Thinking of the mine monster, Lu Yang couldn't help but feel a chill in his back......
No, that kind of four-legged mine monster walks without sound.
So, what is it all about this resemblance to the sound of human footsteps?
"Who are you, what are you doing here!?" Lu Yang asked loudly again, at this time, you can't be afraid, you have to make the other party afraid. ,
"Yangyang?" a trembling female voice came.
"Yin Yin!?" Lu Yang was about to go over to investigate, when he suddenly stopped again.
How could it be Lin Yin? It was arranged by the Trick Domain to confuse him, right?
"Yangyang!" Lin Yin over there didn't have so many scruples, and ran directly to this side.
Lu Yang saw that she was dressed in black, which was very different from what she wore during the day.
But it was indeed Lin Yin.
Is it Lin Yin? Lu Yang felt that this Lin Yin seemed to be a little different......
What's different?
It's not clear what to say.
"Yangyang!" After Lin Yin confirmed that it was Lu Yang, her mouth was deflated and she pounced on him.
"Why are you here?" Lu Yang asked Lin Yin.
In fact...... Just like when he first came to Hongsang Town, he was surprised why Lin Yin was on the Sangqiao River, and later he was surprised that Yiya was actually here, and now he saw Lin Yin here, although he asked her, he quickly had his own thoughts in his heart.
The whole domain is out!
"I don't know......" Lin Yin shook her head at Lu Yang a little dazedly, her expression seemed to be a little dazed.
"Did you wake up and find yourself here?" Lu Yang tried to ask Lin Yin.
"I didn't sleep...... I had dinner with Sister Xueqin, and we were sitting and talking together, when suddenly everything around me changed, and then I found myself in this hole...... I didn't know where it was, I was frightened, and I had just taken a few steps to the side when I heard your voice, but I didn't dare to confirm it, and when you shouted again, I confirmed that it was really you......"
"Are you talking? You just fell here?" Lu Yang confirmed to Lin Yin.
"Hmm. Lin Yin nodded, and then looked at Lu Yang with some confusion: "What kind of place is this, why are you here?"
"I came down from the No. 13 pit and was washed up by the water......" Lu Yang explained to Lin Yin slightly, but he didn't say it too carefully, and it didn't make sense to tell her that it was too detailed.
Who knows if she is the real Lin Yin?
After calming Lin Yin's emotions, Lu Yang didn't delve into why she suddenly appeared here and why she was dressed in black.
Lu Yang took Lin Yin and continued to walk forward, of course, there was no way out of retreating, so he could only continue to walk forward to explore the way.
However, I didn't go far, and there was no road ahead, but a high platform appeared, and it seemed that if you wanted to continue forward, you had to climb it.
The high platform is more than three meters high, and it can't be climbed by one person, so Lu Yang used Lin Yin as a human ladder and sent her up.
But Lin Yin turned around, but there was no way to pull Lu Yang up.
Lu Yang came all the way, the stone cave wall was very smooth, and there was no stone that could be used to step on it, so unless Lin Yin above thought of a way to find some stone ropes or something, Lu Yang had no way to go up.
According to Lu Yang's inference, there should be a way out above, because the light here is obviously brighter than those places before.
"There was a round hole above there, and there was a bright light, as if it led to it. "Lin Yin above has already seen the place where the light is transmitted.
"You look and see if you can find something to put on your feet, or rope or something. Lu Yang explained to Lin Yin below.
"Hmm. ”
After Lin Yin answered, she walked over there, and after a short time, Lu Yang heard her scream, and then ran back quickly.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yang asked Lin Yin, and he found that her face was very unsightly at the moment.
"There's someone up there!" Lin Yin looked at Lu Yang below, revealing a frightened expression.
"Is there anyone? do you see clearly?" Lu Yang looked at Lin Yin a little strangely, if there was someone on it, why was she so frightened? Could it be some weird person?
"That person shines a flashlight on me......" Lin Yin continued to look at Lu Yang below, as if observing something.
"Shine a flashlight on you?" Lu Yang suddenly flashed a trace of information in his mind...... It seems to ......
"The person who shines the flashlight on me is you!How can there be two of you!?" Lin Yin's face turned even paler, and he was even more frightened, as if he suspected that this Lu Yang below was not a human but a ghost.
Lu Yang took a deep breath, he thought about it completely, the first night, when he was resting at the Sanhe Hotel, he went out in the middle of the night, met Zhang Xiaowen for the first time, and then entered Hu Yulan's house, first saw a female ghost combing her hair, and then Hu Yulan's sister-in-law was knocked unconscious and dragged away by the man in black, and then, in the hall on the first floor of the Hu family, he found a well. ,
After arriving at the well, Lu Yang took out a flashlight and shone it below, but it turned out that Lin Yin was underneath, and after she was illuminated, she quickly ran away into the distance.
Lu Yang thought that she was pulled away by someone at the time, but it seems that she ran away by herself, because, under the well, there is another Lu Yang?
Is time and space out of order?
"Yin Yin, don't be afraid, the one above is me, this is also me, it's just that there is some disorder in time and space, remember what I told you about the Strange Domain? Any strange thing can happen in the Strange Domain, such as you become beautiful, Gong Jian has disappeared, etc., so it's normal to have two me. Lu Yang explained to Lin Yin.
Lin Yin's expression finally calmed down a little, and under the guidance of Lu Yang, she walked to the wellhead again, this time there was no one on it, but she couldn't find a rope or something that could give Lu Yang a foot, so she had to turn back and talk to Lu Yang helplessly.
Lu Yang thought of a way, he took off his shirt and trousers~ and twisted it into a rope, and then asked Lin Yin to help him find a place where he could fix this rope.
The top was also very smooth, Lin Yin really couldn't find a place that could be tied and fixed, and later, under the guidance of Lu Yang, he found a crack in the ground.
Lu Yang tied the dagger he was carrying to the trouser rope and threw it on, asking Lin Yin to find a way to insert the dagger into the crack, Lin Yin tried for a while, and finally found a place and inserted the dagger into a small half.
With the help of this dagger, Lu Yang finally climbed up from below, and then came to the bottom of the wellhead with Lin Yin.
This seems to be the well that Lu Yang saw last time, the well that appeared in the hall of the Hu family, but it is a little different...... Lu Yang shined a flashlight above the wellhead, feeling that it didn't look like the ceiling in the hall on the first floor of the Hu family.
The wellhead was nearly four meters deep, and this time even if Lin Yin stepped on Lu Yang's shoulder, he still couldn't go up to it, so Lu Yang had no choice but to let Lin Yin also take off his coat and pants, extend the length of the clothes and trouser rope, throw the dagger above, and tried many times, and finally the dagger hung on something, so that the clothes and trouser rope were fixed at the wellhead.
Lu Yang made a human ladder again, and Lin Yin, with the help of the clothes and trousers rope, finally turned out of the wellhead, and then helped Lu Yang fix the dagger in the brick crack of the wellhead again, and Lu Yang carefully climbed up along the clothes and pants rope.
This is not the living room on the first floor of the Hu family.
But it was exactly the same as the scene Lu Yang saw that night.
A room-like place, surrounded by a brick wall, and a small window on the top of the wall, from which the light came in.
But the glass of the window was very dirty, and Lu Yang didn't want to clean it for the time being and look out, because there were some brick pits left on the other wall, and the walls were slightly tilted, so these brick pits naturally formed a ladder, and it was obvious that you could go up from there.
Lu Yang stepped on the brick pits to the top of the hut, and found a movable wooden door on the ceiling, and after pushing hard, he deduced some rusted wire loose pages and the like, and the movable wooden door was pushed up by him. , support author, support genuine)
