Chapter 62: Karst Landscapes

Lin Qingshan was first aided, and after choking a few mouthfuls of water, he struggled everywhere with red eyes and shouted "brother brother".

The expression is confused and the expression is hysterical.

In today's era of peace, Mo said that the Northeast Tiger Special Operations Brigade is a mainland organization, and even the special operations brigades in the Yunnan-Burma area rarely encounter wars, and catching smugglers in ordinary times is already a big task.

Therefore, in this day and age, there are very few fatalities in the army.

This time, the Siberian Tigers were unfavorable, and as soon as they entered the Great Xing'an Mountains, they lost two soldiers in a row, and Lin Qingshan, as the captain, was heartbroken.

It was almost a depressing blow to him, who had thought that death was far away unless there was a war.

But now, I only saw the shadow of the enemy once, and I had already lost two comrades-in-arms in a row.

It's devastating.

"Brother, Qu Hu, I'm sorry for you, how can I explain to your mother. ”

"He Hu is also dead, and you are gone, how can I explain to your parents. ”

“……”

Lin Qingshan knelt beside the water hole and cried and screamed sadly.

At this time, Li Xun, who was pale, walked over, grabbed Lin Qingshan's back collar and fell over the shoulder in reverse.

With a 'bang', Lin Qingshan was slammed to the ground, his head was stunned, and his crying stopped instantly, but he felt that his internal organs were like being displaced, and he almost wanted to vomit blood uncomfortably.

"What are you doing!"

"Bold. ”

"Stop, don't touch our captain!"

"Stop it, don't you hear me. ”

“……”

Li Xun's move directly made all the soldiers of the Siberian Tiger angry, and they all pulled out their guns and pointed at Li Xun.

Li Xun grabbed Lin Qingshan's collar with one hand, pointed to a circle of Siberian Tiger warriors with the other, and said with a squint: "You are warriors, you must always be ready to sacrifice." I don't even have this awareness, so I'm a Rausch soldier. What are you pointing at me at gunpoint? Do you want to hit me?"

After a question, many soldiers looked at each other.

Li Xun continued: "Your captain is not qualified, because because of his stupidity, your team almost sacrificed two people in a row, do you think he should be beaten?"

No one spoke.

But at this time, Lin Qingshan said in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Li Xun glanced at him, only to see Lin Qingshan's whole body twitching, tears flowing down, and that look was painful.

Without warning, Lin Qingshan roared again: "But he is my brother, I can't watch him fall into this abyss without saving him." You don't understand our brotherly feelings, we are not just comrades-in-arms, we are brothers. I'd rather die than my brother. ”

The warriors lowered their guns and sighed with grief on their faces.

Captain Zhang and the group of indifferent young people, their complexions also changed subtly, which was a kind of empathy.

A group of old experts also sighed, but their faces were helpless, and there was nothing to do about it.

This is simply a force majeure for manpower.

Who would have thought that at the bottom of the dry lake, under a thin layer of sand and gravel, there would be a bottomless water hole? Even if a person who can swim falls down with the sand and gravel unsuspectingly, it is a life and death.

Li Xun said: "I didn't say that you were wrong to save your brother, you were wrong, you were too impulsive, and your impulsiveness almost caused you to die too." It almost caused your team to lose its captain and become a mess. ”

Originally, Li Xun really wanted to clean up Lin Qingshan, this guy was simply a reckless man, too annoying.

But seeing Lin Qingshan's dejected appearance, and the sadness of losing his brother. The anger in his heart immediately dissipated, Li Xun is also a human being, and he will be soft-hearted.

When Expert Xu and the others saw that the matter was almost over, they hurriedly came over to comfort the two of them and make peace.

Li Xun really couldn't bear to clean up Lin Qingshan anymore, so he took this opportunity to get off the donkey and walked aside with a cold snort.

Pointing to the water hole, he said, "I'm almost certain that this is the snake cave." The water is very cold, and the snake likes to be cold, and this kind of big snake does not like the sun at all, so it likes to stay in a cold place. Old Xu, do you have a way to find it out?"

Expert Xu asked, "How deep do you visually inspect this?"

"I don't know, I've been diving for almost 30 meters, and I still can't get to the bottom, the flashlight shines down, and there is still water everywhere I go. ”

Lao Xu frowned, and said embarrassedly: "The range of the life detector is limited, and I don't think it will be used for a water depth of more than thirty meters." This pit is not man-made at all, so since it is not man-made, it is really impossible to know how deep it is. If it had been a sinkhole caused by the Ice Age erosion in ancient times, it would have been several kilometers deep. Whatever happens, let's find out first. ”

After calling in the life detector, putting the probe into the water, and putting it in the deepest depth, Lao Xu looked at the emptiness on the screen and muttered:

"There's no life here, not even small fish and shrimp. ”

Lao Xu was really amazed.

Because even in the underground river, there is life, but in the lake in the river, in the hole under the lake, there is no life.

There are only two explanations. One is that the environment down there is extremely harsh, and it is impossible for living objects to survive here. The second is that there is a king at the top of the food chain below, and the territorial consciousness makes other creatures dare not approach.

But apparently maybe it's a combination of both.

You can't detect anything, you can't detect anything. If you want to spot the serpent, it's almost impossible.

At this time, an old expert surnamed Han walked to the edge of the water hole, frowned and muttered:

"No, snakes breathe by their lungs. Even though this snake is huge and can hold its breath for several days, it still breathes through its lungs. It has to come up and breathe, and if it's down there, won't it suffocate to death? From the time you found it, it was underwater, and it had been two days. It was also injured, and it had to endure the pressure, the pain, and the suffocation of the water for a long time, so how uncomfortable it was. ”

Expert Han's words woke everyone up.

Lao Xu slapped his thigh suddenly: "Oops, I'm fooled." The three holes of the cunning rabbit, the three holes of the cunning rabbit, and the rabbits have several burrows connected to it. If I'm not mistaken, is this water hole connected to a waterless hole, and the snake can change its position at will and go to different places at will?"

"Or rather, it gives us the illusion that it's going down from here, staying underwater. Draw our attention here and sneak away through the back door? Lao Niu, you study geology, what do you think?"

Professor Niu observed the surrounding environment, touched the round stone wall at the entrance of the water cave with his hand, and analyzed:

"If I'm not mistaken, this is a cave that was washed out during the Ice Age. You see that the entrance to this cave is round and smooth, and it is limestone, which is a typical karst landform. In the karst landform, there is often a phenomenon of karst caves connected with karst caves. So, geologically speaking, it is theoretically true that there are caves connecting caves in the earth under our feet. ”
