Chapter 7: The Comatose Man

Ye Zhenzhen shone the light of the flashlight at one of the tributaries, "Go there!"

Following the light, Alex observed the situation around the tributary of the Dark River that Zhen Zhen was referring to, it was not the largest of all the tributaries of the Dark River, and the cave where the tributary was located was narrow, only more than two meters wide and more than one meter high, and most importantly, there was no place for the tributary to tread.

"Sister Zhenzhen, why that one? The tributary next to it is larger, and the cave is wider, which is more suitable for boats, and there is a dry rocky ground next to it that people can walk. ”

Alex pointed the light of his flashlight at one of the largest tributaries of the Dark River.

"It's not because it can walk people, you think, if you can get to your destination on foot, why do you take a boat. ”

"Yes. Alex frowned slightly, "We don't have a boat now, how are we going to get there?"

"Yes, swim over. Ye Zhenzhen's tone was clear.

Looking back at Alex's equipment, because the two of them didn't expect to encounter this situation before, they didn't bring diving equipment, the situation in the underground dark river is unknown, and the place where the dark river leads is even more dangerous, Zhen Zhen said: "Alex, you can wait for me here, I'll go in and find out the situation." ”

Alex knew Vera's intentions, and she didn't want to bother him.

"No, I said that I would accompany you to save people, I am about to see people, I can't give up halfway, I will go wherever you go. Alex deliberately said lightly, anyway, he was going to follow Zhen Zhen on an adventure.

The two exchanged hearts, and Zhen Zhen no longer stopped her, "Okay, you follow me." ”

"Sister Zhenzhen, don't worry, I am very water-based, and the time in the Maldives was just an accident. ”

The two walked along the edge of the sinkhole to the target tributary, and when there was no way out, they swam into the target tributary.

Vera and Alex swam forward in the most energy-efficient way, and even though it was early summer, the undercurrent in the cave was still very cold, and they were immersed in the water, leaving only their heads outside.

It was dark in the tributary cave, and the two of them went all the way against the direction of the current.

After swimming for more than forty minutes, when both of them were almost exhausted, there were bright lights in front of them, and the surface of the tributaries of the dark river suddenly widened, and rocky paths gradually appeared on both sides of the river.

Alex thought that he could finally go ashore, and was about to swim to the shore when he was suddenly stopped by Zhen Zhen beside him, and then he heard the voice of someone talking not far away.

How could there be people in this inaccessible cave? Could it be the gang who kidnapped Nan Zhiqiao?

Instead of going ashore, Vera and Alex continued to swim quietly into the water.

The light in front of me is getting closer, the voices of people are getting clearer, and the humming of machines can be heard.

A light appeared on the edge of the dark river ahead, and there was electricity in this dark cave!

Under the light, various test benches were placed in an orderly manner, and the colorful reagent bottles on the test bench flashed with a strange and dazzling light, and there were white figures swaying between the test benches.

Looking at the upstream of the dark river, a small hydroelectric generator is roaring, and someone is using the cave to generate electricity, and the electricity is supplied to the small laboratory in the cave.

Vera and Alex sneak into the river near the side of the cave wall, exposing only their eyes and nostrils on the surface of the water, hiding in the darkness to observe the situation of the small laboratory on the other side.

Looking at the type of equipment and equipment, it is a small biochemical laboratory, and most of the staff shuttling in the middle of the experimental table are black-haired and yellow-skinned Asians, as well as two blonde and blue-eyed foreigners.

In addition to the experimenters in white coats, there were four heavily armed security patrol officers around.

On the side of the dark river near the lab, a small runabout is parked.

Alex grabbed the rocks on the riverside wall with one hand, slowly approached Zhen Zhen's ear in the water, and whispered: "It looks like an illegal laboratory, and there are armed guards, Sister Zhen Zhen, do you want to take it up?"

Zhen Zhen shook her head, "Don't startle the snake, find Senior Nan first." ”

Vera and Alex dived underwater again, swam through the speedboat and generator, left the small biochemical laboratory, and swam a short distance into another large karst cave, on the bank of the dark river, a large sparkling object attracted the attention of the two.

The shiny thing looked like a crystal coffin, and there was a faint figure in the coffin.

Vera glanced at Alex in the water, and the two swam closer to find that the shiny objects were actually rows of rectangular containers made of frosted glass, more than half a human tall, nearly two meters long, and from the outside, they looked like glass coffins.

In each glass coffin, there was a figure lying flat, looking through the thick glass, the figure was blurry, and the face could not be seen clearly.

Zhen Zhen quietly climbed ashore and hid behind a glass coffin.

Alex also followed ashore, and the two searched for the coffin one by one, hoping to find Nan no Qiao.

The people in the glass coffin, both men and women, looked like they were all asleep, each of them had a hanging needle attached to their arms, and some yellow liquid entered the human veins along the hanging needle tube......

Tempting the snort, the people inside are still alive.

Alex endured his nausea and searched for them one by one in horror.

In the big cave, there are hundreds of coffins, and in each coffin there are people, and they are all half-dead.

After looking around, I didn't find Nan Zhiqiao.

Alex leaned over to Zhen Zhen's side, "Sister Zhen Zhen, these are the people who were used for experiments, Nan Zhiqiao is not here." ”

Ye Zhenzhen raised her head slightly, exposed her head to the upper edge of the glass coffin, and took a closer look, and found that in the corner of the big cave, there was a small cave, and there was also light coming out of it.

Zhen Zhen pointed in the direction of the small cave, "Go there and find it." ”

The two of them bent their waists and quietly sneaked into the small cave under the cover of the glass coffin.

The area of the small cave is much smaller than that of the large cave outside, and there are also glass coffins, and the number is only about 20.

The people in the glass coffin in the small cave looked significantly better, and they all fell asleep peacefully.

When the tenth coffin was found, Nan Zhiqiao was finally found.

Nan Zhiqiao, who was lying flat in the glass coffin, was slightly pale, and the clothes on his body were still a set of sky blue shirts and blue and white plaid casual suits that Zhen Zhen had packed for him when he went to Paris to attend the clone conference.

Zhen Zhen's heart tightened, and she hurriedly reached out to test Nan Zhiqiao's pulse.

The breathing was steady, the pulse was smooth, and it didn't seem life-threatening at least.

Nan Zhiqiao also had a sling needle tube attached to his arm, and the yellow liquid in it entered the blood vessels drop by drop.

Zhen Zhen carefully pushed Nan Zhiqiao's eyelids upward, and the eyeball light response was normal, which should be a shallow coma caused by drugs.
