Chapter 201: Time is Ticking
It's a ...... Lake?
In the searchlight of my flashlight, I saw a wide lake. [No pop-ups.]
The lake is calm and the water is not rippling.
How could there be such a big lake in the belly of this mountain deep underground?
It's weird!
I swam around and swam to the nearest shore.
went ashore.
After a quick look at it, I finally figured out what was going on.
This is not a natural lake, but a dammed lake!
This place, if I expected it to be good, is the same underground river I was looking for.
I took Tian Qiuqiu to go inside, just to find this underground river, and then walk along the underground river, and finally leave the belly of this mountain!
Unfortunately, before I could find the main channel, a strong earthquake struck, and the mountain collapsed, blocking the road and trapping both of us.
It's really unexpected, the main road on my side is almost parallel to the underground river here. It's ironic! I've been looking for a place right next door to me!
Why do dammed lakes form?
It should have been the earthquake that day, which also caused the D roof here to collapse, blocking the section of the road in front of this river.
The river was blocked and could not be crossed, so it silted up here, forming a large dammed lake.
As the water level in the dammed lake became higher and higher, the water pressure became larger and larger, and the stone wall of the puddle was already very thin.
Then the two tunnels are connected!
Damn, I would have known that this stone wall here is so thin, it will break after a few chisels, and what kind of ground am I digging over there, I would have come here to dig the wall!
Really, we have been trapped for so long in vain, and we are still half hungry. Almost didn't live!
It's just that...... Who the can know, I'm not a god, I can pinch it......
I walked down the bank, found the place where the river was blocked, and shone it with a flashlight.
Great, there's still a way out!
When the water was blocked, it could not be channeled, and it flooded, and when the water level was high, it actually flowed away from the top of the collapsed place.
This proves that there is still a way out there. As long as you follow the current, the chance of escaping from the mountainside in the end will be very high.
Then next, hurry up and pick up Tian Qiuqiu!
Without further ado, it will change!
I turned my head back, went into the water again, swam back to the broken hole, and lowered my head and went down.
Walking back is downstream, but it is much easier than when I came over just now, and there is less tossing and turning against the water pressure.
I didn't even breathe with a bottle, and I got out of the pool as soon as I got my head.
The water level in the waterhole has risen a little bit compared to just now. Gotta speed up!
As I walked out of the fork in the road, I began to think about another problem.
I'll take Tian Qiuqiu later, two of you, how can I get through that water outlet?
I just got over by myself, and I'm going to die!
Then take Tian Qiuqiu......
I'm afraid I won't be able to get through it at all!
The water formed by the huge water pressure is really turbulent!
With an individual, the resistance is doubled, and that is absolutely and absolutely insurmountable.
In particular, Tian Qiuqiu still doesn't know how to water, and now he is in a state of half-dead, and he can't exert any strength on his own, so it's all up to me......
It's hard, I'm having trouble again!
Why don't you let the water continue to fill this side to the same level, so that there is no water pressure on the outlet, and you can easily drill through?
I held up my flashlight and looked at the top of the fork.
That's not right!
Not to mention, the dammed lake over there, with an endless stream of underground river replenishment water, can finally irrigate both sides to the balance of the water level.
This fork in the road, only two or three meters high, is definitely lower than the lake over there. In this case, this fork in the road will definitely be completely submerged and flooded with airtight air!
At that time, we couldn't even enter this fork in the road. How about getting through that outlet?
No, this method doesn't work, you have to think of something else!
Definitely get through this fork in the road before it is completely submerged, otherwise it will be a dead end!
I'm so anxious that I'm scratching my ears and cheeks!
Damn, what if ...... If only I had a long rope!
I could tie one end on the other side, let it go down the spout, and then pull the rope and force us both over. It's just as strenuous, but I have some place to work hard. You don't have to pick the cracks of the stone with your hands, and there is nowhere to use your strength.
Rope rope rope!
That's right!
I had a flash of inspiration that I could make a rope myself!
I ran back to Tian Qiuqiu.
She was half-lying down, and when she saw me, she asked, "How is it...... Is there a way? below...... How can there be water?"
I happily said to her, "Okay, we're saved!" You wait a minute, I'm going to prepare something, don't worry, stay in good shape." I'll get you out, Qiu'er!"
I kissed her on the forehead, which was kind of comforting.
Then he hurried to do my business.
I found the two pieces of fabric made of big trousers.
One piece of cloth is more than one meter long, and two of them add up to more than two meters.
Because it was cut with a large trouser tube, the cloth was big and strong, and I could continue to cut it!
I cut each piece of cloth into three palm-sized strips.
Well, there are six in total, and when connected by two, it is more than six meters.
More than six meters, a little closer, the water level of the dammed lake over there is nearly four meters. If you want to tie the strip of cloth from that side and connect it to this side along the water outlet, it must be at least about ten meters!
I hurriedly took off my pants again and tied them up.
My pants, coming from the crotch, plus two legs, can also replenish more than two meters.
I took off my shirt again, tied it up, and added another meter.
More than nine meters, almost ten meters, enough!
I squatted down and confessed to Tian Qiuqiu: "Qiu'er, you wait for me here again, I'll tie the rope and come back to pick you up soon!"
Holding my haphazard, but sturdy rope, I ran back to the waterhole, took my rudimentary homemade oxygen tank, and dived into the water again.
It took the same effort, and I was so tired that I was like a dead dog, before I finally got through that outlet.
Emerging from the other end, he gasped for air. I immediately found a protruding bell at the upper end of the outlet and tied my life-saving rope to it.
I tied the dead knot and pulled it hard to make sure it was strong. Then he straightened out the rope, took the other end, and drilled back through the outlet.
The rope can be pulled out more than three meters through the water outlet, which is enough, this is completely enough.
I let go and swam out.
At this time, time is already imminent, and it will take another fifteen minutes at most, and this small fork in the road will be completely submerged!
The book friend group in this book [609782807] Well, the group is worried, the first is afraid that no one will add it, which is embarrassing, the second is afraid of trolls, which will affect the mood, and the third is ...... I'm especially afraid of being urged to change!!
