After diving into the dark river for about 2,500 meters, less than a third of the compressed air in the oxygen cylinder was left, and Li Jing had to embark on the return journey. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although the return trip was against the current, there was no need to search along the way, and the air that needed to be consumed was not so much, and when the air was almost exhausted, Li Jing finally surfaced out of breath. With a distance of more than 2,000 meters, running is tiring, let alone diving with heavy equipment. Coupled with the lack of air, he didn't even dare to stop and rest.

"Whoa!"

An expert who stayed in the cave was startled by Li Jing's sudden appearance, and a person emerged from the water without any warning, which was terrifying.

"What about the others?" Li Jing asked strangely, it can't be that the tracking signal is lost, right?

"I don't know, I'll call and ask."

The fact is similar to what Li Jing thought, the position he turned back from was already more than 120 meters from the ground, and the signal search was already difficult, not to mention that he was moving forward at full speed, and the technical assistant lost the signal at once, and opened his mouth in shock and said: "It's not good, there is no signal, Li Jing has an accident!" ”

As soon as Jiang Yuanxin heard the bad news, she cried out with a wow, making her whole group at a loss.

Rescue? More than 100 meters underground, there is no way to rescue at all, even if you really have the courage to dig a deep well to go down, by the time you find Li Jing, it is estimated that it is already a fossil......

When the atmosphere at the scene fell into a gloomy situation, the expert group suddenly received a notice from the mountain, and everyone was stunned. Just now they were almost going to prepare paper money firecrackers, but they were told that someone had come out, which was a big joke.

By the time they returned from the car, Li Jingdu had already unloaded his equipment, and he was a little relieved to see his concerned faces. At first, we didn't know each other, but after getting along for so many days, we all formed a revolutionary friendship.

"Why do you cry like a cat?" Li Jing joked when he saw Jiang Yuanxin's tear-stained face.

"It's not because of you!" Jiang Yuanxin hated him, trotted back to the hotel to dress up, she was embarrassed just now, she couldn't stop crying at all.

Although Li Jing did not complete the task of discovering unknown creatures in the dark river this time, he actually gained a lot. One was a living sample he had brought back from deep underground, and the second was a route to the underground river. There is also the camera he carries, although it cannot be connected to the ground in the later stage, the content of the shooting is recorded on the chip, which allows these experts on the ground to better study and understand the situation below.

In the afternoon, the group of experts watched the videos collectively in the hotel.

When I saw Li Jing enter the branch of the dark river and come to the bottom of the village, the garbage found inside was very touching.

"These domestic garbage can be washed far away with the flowing water of the dark river, and the seemingly clean groundwater has actually polluted us." Jiang Xishan said with emotion.

Everyone's hearts are heavy.

"The silt at the entrance of the river in the village is relatively soft, and once the water conditions inside the river change, the silt will also be affected, and if someone carelessly steps into it, they may even fall into the dark river, or even be sucked into it strongly. We'll need to inform the village chief so they can pay attention. Jiang Xishan said.

The shooting screen is still playing, it is the scene of Li Jing returning to the main road of the dark river, and the small fish he encounters from time to time are very amazing.

Especially the huge underground cave at the end, a glimpse of it makes people yearn for it. But this time, no one let Li Jing go into the water again, and today has scared everyone, and I am really worried that what will happen to Li Jing if he goes down again.

And the distance is too far, this time the compressed air is only enough, and it may not be easy to go in again, and no one knows how long the entire dark river is.

"Li Jing, you go back to your room to rest first, and we will draw a map of the route of the dark river based on the information you brought back." Jiang Xishan finally said.

Li Jing didn't refuse, he couldn't help by staying here, and besides, he was really exhausted today, so he just went back to his room to rest.

In the evening, Li Jing was woken up by the noise below the hotel, and when he came out of the room, he saw that there were twenty or thirty villagers crowded in the hotel lobby, and Jiang Xishan and them were surrounded in the middle.

After walking down and listening for a while, I realized what was going on.

In the summer of 1988, an old man in the village was fishing in the river when a large whirlpool suddenly appeared in the water and swept people into it. After the movement subsided, the villagers searched the entire river, but they never found anyone, and they still can't see the bones.

At that time, this incident made people panic, and everyone thought it was a water monkey, and they didn't dare to approach the river for a long time. But after so many years of peace, the villagers gradually forgot about it.

But this afternoon, Jiang Xishan and the others went down to tell them about the underground dark river, and asked them to pay attention to safety and hygiene. As soon as the old people in the village summed up, they remembered this incident again.

The descendants of the old man also came up to watch the shooting video brought back by Li Jing, and immediately knew that the 'water monkey' of the year was caused by the underground dark river, and an old man immediately knelt down for the expert group and asked the expert group to help find his father's body.

But how dare Jiang Xishan agree to this, it has been 28 years, and even if the old man's body is still there, he doesn't know where it was washed away. And after a fuss in the morning, he didn't want Li Jing to risk diving into the dark river again. Although scientific research is important, Li Jing's safety cannot be ignored.

The villagers begged again and again, Jiang Xishan repeatedly prevaricated, and the scene was deadlocked.

Li Jing appeared at this time, and there was something unusual...... When he learned that he was the one who had infiltrated the river, an old man knelt in front of him with a full house of children and grandchildren.

"Expert Li, please help us, for so many years, my father's grave replaced his body with a carp in the river, please help us find it." The old man pleaded with red eyes. According to the custom, if the body of a person drowned in the river or sea cannot be found, the fish is used instead, and the ritual is passable, but the family finally finds it difficult to accept.

"Old man, please get up! Everybody get up! Li Jing hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, and groaned in embarrassment.

"Expert Li, whether you find it or not, our family is willing to reward you with a lot of money, please ......"

"Old man, don't worry, I don't have the final say on this launch, and I need to discuss with the expert group before making a final decision. Why don't you go back first, and after I discuss it with you, I'll give you an answer anyway. Li Jing said seriously.

"Thank you, thank you, Expert Li." After the old man thanked Li Jing repeatedly, he left with the villagers.

Originally, Jiang Xishan had planned to temporarily terminate the exploration of the dark river, but this trip harvested shield fish fossils, and also obtained some living samples of underground river creatures, as well as important video materials, which was actually a very satisfactory result. But this unexpected event disrupted the plan of the expert group in one fell swoop.
