Chapter 14: The Sinkhole (Part II)
The wind is howling!
Luo Xiao's body hung outside the entrance of the cave, and below his body was a cliff with a drop of dozens of meters, and his feet couldn't find a place to settle at all, so he could only rely on his hands to control his body.
Fortunately, the alloy climbing rope designed by Mo Yanran is of excellent quality, whether it is a rope or a metal clip, it can withstand the pull of the huge force, although it can't help shaking, but there is no sign of a problem.
Luo Xiao controlled the circlip and let go of the rope little by little, making himself descend towards the cliff while looking towards the environment he was in.
He was now in a huge sinkhole, with a dark abyss at his feet, although he was only a few dozen meters away from the entrance of the cave, but if he looked up, the sky above him could only see a little bit the size of a mung bean grain, and it was so faint that he couldn't see it clearly with his eyes.
According to Luo Xiao's visual measurements, the depth of this sinkhole is about a few hundred meters, or even thousands of meters deep, and the altitude of the position where he is now is already in a negative value.
Looking around, Luo Xiao found that the area of this sinkhole was very large, about dozens of square kilometers large, the shape was almost circular, surrounded by smooth and steep stone walls, straight to the top, and dozens of meters below his feet was the ground of the sinkhole, which was covered with dense trees, the branches were strong and powerful, and the roots grew on it, which were rooted in the ground again, which looked quite spectacular.
Such ancient trees are everywhere in this sinkhole, and it seems that this place has been around for a long time, not recently.
What shocked Luo Xiao was that in the center of the sinkhole was a lake with a radius of several kilometers, and the lake looked like a dark green from a distance, but it did not stay in the lake calmly, but was swept up by a tornado in the center, forming an amazing "waterspout", following the raging tornado waving and swinging in the air, looking like a giant dragon.
The roar of the bull came from this tornado, mixed with the damp smell of the lake, and filled the bottom of the entire sinkhole.
Luo Xiao knew that it was precisely because of the existence of the tornado that there was a strong suction force in the sinkhole, which made his people involuntarily want to throw themselves at the waterspout.
Looking at the tornado that danced between heaven and earth like a dragon, Luo Xiao's heart was furious, if he was swept in, it was estimated that there would not even be scum left, and it would become crumbs in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of this, Luo Xiao hurriedly controlled his body and leaned against the stone wall as much as possible, wanting to stay away from the tornado, and at the same time, he also notified the other warriors above his head to tell them to be more careful.
People cautiously descended, leaving the cave entrance little by little, and falling towards the bottom of the sinkhole against the stone wall, although it was swayed by the strong suction, it was quite smooth, and it approached the sinkhole floor a little bit.
Luo Xiao was at the front, he was the first to descend to the ground, then untied the rope, and quickly found a depression around that could avoid the tornado, and then commanded those soldiers to enter the depression and avoid the place that the tornado could cover.
After everyone entered the depression, Luo Xiao's heart was put down, he turned on the flashlight, carefully checked the movement in the depression, and found that it was very clean, and it was not too humid, just suitable for people to rest.
Along the way, people were tired, so now that they had a place to rest, they sat down and began to eat while resting.
On their fingers, they had been in the cave for six or seven hours, and during this time they had not rested for a moment, nor had they eaten a little, which made them physically exert a lot, and they all felt a little overwhelmed.
"One set of alerts, the others rest in place and recover their strength as soon as possible." Luo Xiao knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time, and when people had rested, he would look for a way out.
If it weren't for the fact that there was still no signal here, Luo Xiao only needed to call an armed transport helicopter to come, and it really didn't work, and there was Flash No. 1, with her strong power and body, she could send people out one by one.
However, now Luo Xiao has no choice, he has tried all the means of communication, all of them are ineffective, and there is no way to contact the outside at all, which means that the last talisman has also been removed, and they need their own efforts to survive.
After arranging the first set of guards, Luo Xiao and the other fighters all began to rest in order to recover their strength as soon as possible.
As the minutes ticked by, the two warriors of the clan held their guns, alerting the surrounding situation while protecting their comrades who were falling asleep.
Suddenly, Luo Xiao, who was leaning against the big tree, moved his ears, and then he opened his eyes suddenly, and reached out to grab the automatic rifle beside him.
"Captain, what's wrong?" The two warriors in charge of the guard immediately noticed his anomaly and hurried to his side, asking in a low voice, "What did you find?" ”
"Shhhh Luo Xiao made a gesture of silence, and then listened intently, and the two warriors also hurriedly closed their mouths and listened intently.
As the two men fell silent, they finally heard the murmuring of a stream, slight, but real.
"How can there be a sound of running water?" Luo Xiao was also very strange in his heart, he was looking around, and suddenly found that where he was, there seemed to be smooth ravines on the stone walls around him, as if the water had been washed out for a long time.
As soon as his heart moved, Luo Xiao shouted, "Don't sleep, get up quickly." ”
The sound of this voice was like a thunderbolt, and the sleeping warriors immediately woke up from their sleep, and they all grabbed their weapons and searched around vigilantly, thinking that something had happened.
Luo Xiao didn't care about explaining to them, but shouted, "Quick, get out of here and go to the high place next to it." ”
People were a little confused, and they looked at Luo Xiao blankly, not knowing why the legion commander did this.
This depression is like a cave, hidden at the foot of the mountain, and in front of it there is a huge boulder, probably thousands of tons, growing with the ground, no matter how strong the tornado is, it will not be able to roll up, so it is safe to hide here.
Now that you leave here, the high places outside will be affected by the tornado, and when the time comes, one will be swept away by the accident, and your bones will be broken in the tornado.
"What's his grandmother's stunned, let's go." Luo Xiao saw that everyone was standing there and not moving, so he was in a hurry, and his voice raised an octave again.
This time, the people came to their senses, and they immediately rushed out of the hollow, intending to get out of here.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud bang like the sky cracking, and then I saw a huge wave falling from the sky, covering the depression in the blink of an eye, and the water was as strong as a sledgehammer, so that the warriors of the clan who rushed out at the front flew back upside down and fell heavily on the stone wall.
I don't know when the tornado stopped, and the massive lake water that was swept up into the sky by it lost the restraint of the tornado, and turned into a monstrous wave pouring down from the sky, and the momentum made people want to be terrified.
The depression was not large, but there was so much water from the sky that it filled the depression in the blink of an eye, and it continued to fall from the sky, turning the foot of the mountain into an ocean.
The depression was full of lake water, Luo Xiao and those special combat team members were all submerged in the water, and there were undercurrents around their bodies, pushing them over and pushing them over, and their bodies couldn't help but sway.
With a thud, a hole about the size of a basin in the corner of the depression turned into a deadly whirlpool, sweeping the nearest warrior into it and swallowing it to his shoulder.
The soldier wanted to open his mouth to say something, but because he didn't say anything in the water, he choked several mouthfuls of water and almost passed out, he hurriedly closed his mouth, stretched out his arms and desperately supported the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, hoping to support Luo Xiao until their rescue arrived.
This sudden scene surprised Luo Xiao and the others, and they hurriedly swam towards this side, wanting to save him.
Suddenly, the water in the cave suddenly strengthened, and the high-speed whirlpool seemed to be a meat grinder, easily tearing the warrior's lower body, causing him to let out a loud cry of pain, and then his arms were pulled off the stone wall, and his head disappeared into the hole.
A bright stream of blood exploded in the water at the entrance of the cave, staining the dangerous place red, and then it was sucked in by the whirlpool and disappeared without a trace.
However, Luo Xiao and the others already knew that this was a deadly whirlpool, and if they got close, they would be in danger of death, so they desperately swam out of the depression......
During this period of time, the lake water falling outside has accumulated here into a lake with a radius of several hundred square meters, and it is still falling, from a distance, it looks like a waterfall pouring down from the Tianhe, and the sound is very amazing.
Luo Xiao and the others rushed out against the huge waves, but they were washed back several times, and once they were almost hit by the undercurrent to the whirlpool under the stone wall, which scared people out of a cold sweat.
"What should I do?" Luo Xiao's eyes were red!
The longer they spend underwater, the more dangerous they become, even if they have undergone rigorous training underwater, after all, ventilation also requires conditions, and there is no chance for them to breathe calmly under the undercurrent of this torrent, and they will not be able to support it sooner or later.
But it was a little difficult to rush out, the lake water was still falling in the sky outside, and the lake water sucked up by the tornado hundreds of meters high was too much, and it would not flow for a while and a half.
Now they are in a desperate situation, with a deadly underwater whirlpool behind them and a massive waterfall in front of them, leaving them in a dilemma.
Luo Xiao was going crazy, his head was spinning desperately, and one idea after another flashed quickly, but he denied it.
Finally, Luo Xiao thought of a way, he gestured to several other people, signaling them to cooperate.
These warriors were all specially trained, so they immediately understood what Luo Xiao meant, one of them stepped on the stone wall behind him, and the other put his feet in the palm of his hand, and then he stretched out his arms and lifted the warrior forward.
And just like that, warrior after warrior, finally approaching the edge of the depression.
People signaled to Luo Xiao, and Luo Xiao was the last to connect with them. After everyone was connected, Luo Xiao pressed the climbing rope catapult on his wrist, and a sharp arrow was exposed at his wrist.
"Hey!"
People exerted force at the same time, and the originally bent legs suddenly straightened, and the human bridge instantly became longer, dragging Luo Xiao out of the water.
