Chapter 32: The Underground River
Huge rocks washed by the rain, mud and trees, along the slope of the canyon, rushed to the bottom of the valley. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The mudslide is just a few steps away from the cave, and the mouth of the cave is separated by large, hard, cohesive boulders.
The two looked at each other, and after a while, Ye Zhenzhen came back to her senses, "It's so dangerous, fortunately I didn't go out, or I would have been buried in the mudslide." ”
Nan Zhi Qiao pulled Ye Zhenzhen back two steps and said, "The rain is too heavy, it is more dangerous to go out, stay in the cave first, and then talk about the situation." ”
The storm outside the cave, the mudslide spread to the range of hundreds of meters outside the cave, the mud and gravel and the rain rushed to the valley bottom river beach, the originally shallow valley bottom river, instantly surged, the flood from the upper reaches of the canyon, instantly washed away the mudslide, turned into rushing yellow mud, and rushed to the east along the canyon.
The lightning and thunder in the sky, the flood on the ground rushed, and by the light of lightning, the two clearly saw that the water level of the flood in the canyon continued to rise, quickly submerging the gravel beach, and soon approaching the height of the cave where the two were located.
Ye Zhenzhen panicked, now the two of them are in a dilemma, going up from the cave is a mudslide, going down is a flash flood, and they can't get out at all, but if you stay in the cave, with the momentum of the current rainstorm, the flash flood will not pass the cave sooner or later, and it will be a dead end.
"Senior Nan, the torrent will soon reach the cave, what should I do?" Ye Zhenzhen had no choice, and looked at Nan Zhiqiao with a glimmer of hope.
Nan Zhiqiao just stared at the flash flood that was rapidly approaching the cave, and his brows were furrowed.
After a while, the flash flood had begun to flood into the cave, and the muddy flood water quickly submerged the two people's feet, did not pass the smooth ground in the cave, and quickly converged into the underground cave.
Nan Zhiqiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he grabbed Ye Zhenzhen beside him and asked, "Zhenzhen, how long can you hold your breath in the water?"
Ye Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, "I can't swim in the water." ”
"Hold on to me for a while, and don't let go. ”
Ye Zhenzhen reflexively grabbed Nan Zhiqiao's arm, and at the same time looked outside the cave, the surging torrent had flooded the cave, and the flood quickly reached the knees of the two, "Do you want to swim out of the cave?" But the torrent is so big, once you go out, you will definitely die." ”
Nan Zhi Qiao turned his head to look in the direction of the underground cave on the inside of the cave, and the flood water that entered the cave quickly poured into the underground pit, forming a whirlpool above the underground cave, and Nan Zhi Qiao said in a cold voice: "Let's go in the opposite direction." ”
"Underground Cave?!" Ye Zhenzhen was even more surprised, "But the underground cave doesn't know where it leads?"
As they spoke, the flood water between the caves had already reached the thighs of the two of them, and the flood water that poured in from the entrance of the cave flowed to the underground cave inside, forming a strong current in the cave, rushing the two of them towards the direction of the underground cave.
Ye Zhenzhen grabbed Nan Zhiqiao's arm with one hand, and grasped the stone wall in the cave with the other hand, resisting the impact of the water flow, Nan Zhiqiao also grasped the stone wall with one hand, and at the same time analyzed Ye Zhenzhen: "The flood drainage speed of the underground cave can't keep up with the flood pouring in from the cave entrance, this cave will soon be completely submerged, and staying here is also a dead end, only the underground cave still has a little life, this time it depends on the luck of the two of us." ”
Nan Zhiqiao quickly took out a rope for mountaineering from his backpack and tied the two of them to their waists, leaving a half-meter-long rope between the two, connecting the two at the same time, and making it convenient for each person to move alone.
The flood was waist-deep in the blink of an eye, and the flood whirlpool above the bottomless pit was even more obvious.
Nan Zhiqiao put Ye Zhenzhen's hands on his waist and asked, "Zhenzhen, are you afraid?"
Ye Zhenzhen, who was still in a panic and fear, looked at the calm look in Nan Zhiqiao's dark eyes, and suddenly quieted down in her heart, and shook her head, "With you by my side, I'm not afraid." ”
Nan Zhiqiao put his arm around Ye Zhenzhen's waist with one hand, "Okay, let's go, find a good time to swim to the water." ”
The flood quickly swept the necks of the two, Nan Zhiqiao looked at them, and the two held their breath and dived underwater.
The swift torrent soon swept the two into the underground pit, full of mud and sand, the two couldn't open their eyes at all, only felt that after being brought into the underground cave by the water flow, they had been falling along the water flow, and after more than ten seconds, Zhen Zhen felt that she couldn't hold her breath anymore, and there was a danger of suffocation in another second, suddenly, the water flow around her suddenly eased down, and the water flow changed direction and flowed horizontally.
Nan Zhiqiao swam towards the surface of the water with his feet hard, Ye Zhenzhen obviously felt the power on his waist, and in a trance, his head suddenly appeared on the water.
"Ahem......"
Ye Zhenzhen gasped for breath, and now she coughed violently because she choked on a mouthful of water when she was underwater.
"Zhenzhen, it's okay. Nan Zhiqiao's voice came from his side.
"Ahem...... It's okay......" Ye Zhenzhen replied loudly, her mind gradually concentrated, and she found that she was now being pulled by Nan Zhiqiao in a standard drowning rescue position.
One of Nan Zhiqiao's arms was passing under Zhen Zhen's armpit, Zhen Zhen was floating on her back, and before she could recover from the impact of the torrent, Ye Zhen Zhen was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of her.
Between the floats, the place you look up to see, it seems to be a vast starry sky, and countless stars are shining in the sky......
"No, there was lightning and thunder just now, and the torrential rain was pouring, but in just a few minutes, how could the sky be full of stars?" Ye Zhenzhen wondered in her heart, blinked, and looked closely, there was not the sky or stars above her head, just countless blue-green fluorescences, separated from a long distance, giving people the illusion of a vast starry sky.
Nan Zhiqiao struggled to swim to the shore, but after a few minutes, the shore was not found, but the two of them felt the rocks underwater.
Stopped swimming, the two stood up, the current water surface was only waist-deep, Nan Zhiqiao helped Ye Zhenzhen and asked, "Were you hurt just now?"
"Nope. Ye Zhenzhen replied while looking up at the sky above her head, and exclaimed, "Senior Nan, look at it." ”
Before the two of them were freed from the danger of the flood, Ye Zhenzhen was stunned by the scenery in front of her, Nan Zhiqiao looked up, the fluorescence in the darkness reflected Nan Zhiqiao's surprised face, but this surprise was fleeting, the two stood waist-deep in the water, looked up at the little fluorescence, Nan Zhiqiao actually began to explain: "The underground dark river connected to the underground cave leads to this cave, according to the distance we just drifted through, this should be an underground cave, and there are often fluorescent stones or fluorescent creatures in the cave." ”
The sound of talking, the sound of water flowing, accompanied by the cold breeze, Ye Zhenzhen sneezed.
"Senior Nan, look, the fluorescence is flying. ”
The fluorescent dot on the dome of the cave seemed to be alarmed, and from time to time there were fluorescent dots flickering, and a small fluorescent dot flew towards the two of them, Ye Zhenzhen wanted to reach out to catch it, but was stopped by Nan Zhiqiao.
The fluorescent dot circled around the two of them, and finally stopped on Nan Zhiqiao's wet shoulder.
