Chapter Seventy-Five: The Paper Tiger (Part II)

075 Chapter 75 Paper Tiger (II)

Looking at the string of captives who were taken away, Liang Hua proudly said to the soldiers beside him: "I'll just say, country M is a paper tiger!" If you move seriously, you'll be a bear! ”。 It's just that what he didn't expect was that his string of captives was a hot potato, which caused problems for his superiors. Not long after they returned to the camp, a note from country M was sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs protesting against country Z's arrest of country M's soldiers for no reason, and also condemning country Z for assisting terrorists and threatening to launch a new round of sanctions.

Liang Hua didn't know how these captives of country M were disposed of in the end, what he was confused about was that he was transferred from the drug control team to a border town to be the deputy director of the police station, is this a promotion or a demotion? He didn't know, he only knew that there was nothing wrong with catching this group of people from country M who crossed the border, and if you don't fight the paper tiger, it will become a real tiger.

It is said that Wang Xiaoyu rolled down from the top of the slope with a foreign girl in his arms just now, hugged her to his chest, and covered her face with his chest. He thought that if there was still a stalactite forest below the slope, it would be miserable, wouldn't it be pierced into chrysanthemums? After sliding on the gravel for a while, the two men were thrown over a few times and fell into the water with a thud.

Wang Xiaoyu secretly rejoiced, fortunately there was water underneath, not sharp stones. I just wanted to get up from the water while holding the girl, but who knew that the bottom of the river was full of mud falling from the slope, and I couldn't stand at all, and my feet slipped and I was washed out by the water for several meters. It's very deep here, the current is fast, and the two of them are not bad at water, and they are also washed downstream by the river.

It was dark here, there was no light, Wang Xiaoyu hugged the girl with both hands, for fear that as soon as she let go, the girl would be washed away by the river and went nowhere. Treading water with both feet, trying to get to the shore, but the river was too fast, and several attempts to no avail. At this time, the foreign girl in her arms grabbed Wang Xiaoyu's right hand with her left hand and said loudly: "Let go of me, let's work together to swim to the shore, holding hands will not be lost." ”

Wang Xiaoyu let go of her according to her words, took her left hand and swam to the shore together, controlled the direction with her left hand, stepped on the water with both feet, kicked more than ten times, and finally touched a stone with her palm. The rocks by the river are full of a snail-like thing, slippery, he can't catch it a few times, and the girl is the same, the two of them grabbed it a few times, grabbed a handful of snails in their hands, and still couldn't stand the force, and were washed downstream by the river, and the girl was in a hurry, choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and coughed violently.

At this time, Wang Xiaoyu calmed down, tried to help the girl surface with her right hand, and said to her: "Don't worry, the cave wall here is too slippery, we can't go up, as long as we maintain our physical strength, drift down the river for a while, and wait for the water to be not so urgent, let's go up again." After speaking, they raised their feet and kicked the stone wall hard, and the two of them floated a few meters to the center of the river, and in the darkness of the rapid current, it was easier to touch the stones on the bank, and it was safer in the middle of the river.

The foreign girl also made up her mind, and together with Wang Xiaoyu, she tried to keep her feet in front and behind in the dark, drifting down the river.

I don't know how far it has been in the dark, Wang Xiaoyu feels that it is not 3 miles, at least 2 miles, there are still steep stone walls on both sides, and there are dense stone snails sticking to them, and there are more slippery moss, the two of them tried to grasp the stone wall several times to stabilize their bodies, but the water flow became more and more urgent, and they never could do it. What's even more terrifying is that there is a rumbling sound of water ahead, and from experience, it should be a waterfall. The two of them suddenly felt that if they were to be washed down the waterfall, they would have to fall to their deaths if they were not drowned. The two of them paddled desperately to the shore, but the river became more and more urgent, and they couldn't stop the momentum of rushing downward.

At this time, some light came from above the cave wall, and there were several small holes where you could see the sky. Sunlight shines through these small holes into the underground river, where it approaches the surface exit. With the help of these lights, Wang Xiaoyu found that there was really a waterfall in front of him, which was the outlet of this underground river, and Wang Xiaoyu in the river could already see the green mountains outside. Unfortunately, on the rocks by the river, there was a monster like rotten wood, I don't know if it heard the movement or smelled the smell, and was staring at Wang Xiaoyu and them with its bloody mouth open.

The foreign girl also found out, and while paddling desperately, she shouted: "Oh no, there is a Diro crocodile more than three meters long in front!" Hurry ashore! ”

Wang Xiaoyu paddled desperately in the water, and said, "I saw it spit out a long split tongue, it doesn't look like a crocodile, it may be a snake, right?" ”

The girl said: "Whether it is a snake or a crocodile, it is a terrible thing, hurry up and go ashore!" ”

Both of them have good water quality, and the river is not wide, so they reached the river with a few hard bangs, but the river was too fast, and they were sent down and washed for more than ten meters. It was close to the exit of the underground river cave, and there were several small openings on the roof of the cave, and countless tree roots had grown. The thing in front of me, who didn't know if it was a snake or a crocodile, saw that the two of them wanted to climb ashore and crawl away, so they climbed the roots of the trees on the shore. This big guy more than three meters long, turned around at the foot of the tree roots, very nimble, and after a while climbed over twenty or thirty meters, with the help of some light from the top of the cave, they could see clearly that this was a huge lizard! The girl gasped: "This is a Komodo dragon!" ”

Wang Xiaoyu has leaned to the bank, the steep river bank stones are wet and slippery, several times grabbed some roots and wanted to climb up, but unfortunately here is more than ten meters away from the top of the cave, the roots grow here is already thin and long, as soon as the force is a handful of roots broken, the two fell into the water, and were washed downstream by the river. The Komodo dragon in front of it saw the two of them floating from the river again, it wrapped its tail around the roots of the tree on the shore, half of its body had already reached the water, opened its big mouth, and kept spitting out its long forked tongue, just waiting for Wang Xiaoyu and them to arrive, it was a good meal.

Wang Xiaoyu did his best, turned over in the water, blocked the foreign girl to the outside of the center of the river, and faced the Komodo dragon inside. At this time, there was only more than ten meters away from the Komodo dragon, and there was no way to go ashore, Wang Xiaoyu wanted to fight for his life to drag the Komodo dragon into the water, and would rather be washed down by the river and fall to death than be torn to pieces by the Komodo dragon.

Just when they thought that they were in danger of escaping, Wang Xiaoyu, who was desperately pulling in the water, suddenly touched a very thick cable, which was as thick as an arm, and his body was washed away by the river, and he crashed into the rope, causing a sharp pain in his waist, and his body was like garbage, and he was stopped in the middle of the river. The foreign girl next to her was also hung by this rope, her body was relatively smooth, and she was a little slippery, but she finally had a place to focus, and the two didn't have time to think about it, so they climbed the rope and desperately climbed onto the riverbank. The Komodo dragon downstream saw that the food in the mouth ran away, climbed the roots of the tree by the river, and rushed upstream, and in an instant the distance between the two sides was only five or six meters. Wang Xiaoyu and the two desperately climbed the rope in the cave wall to climb up, to the stone wall five or six meters high, there is a two-meter square rock protruding, forming a small platform, after the two climbed on this platform, the cable of the fifth middle school fell into the stone crevice next to it, and it was invisible. Fortunately, it was two stories high from the riverbank, and the Komodo dragons, chasing them down, but they couldn't help it, holding their heads high, spitting letters, and circling below.

Looking at the monitor lizard below with blood-red eyes and drooling at them, it was intimidating, but no matter how powerful it was, it couldn't hurt itself now, at most it was a paper tiger. Wang Xiaoyu felt strange again and asked, "Doesn't the Komodo dragon live on Komodo Island in Indonesia?" How come it is also here? ”

"It's just that people find the most people on Komodo Island, and it doesn't mean that there are no other places. Besides, the drug dealers and militants in the north of country A are rich and lawless, and there are many people who keep lions and tigers as pets, so what's so strange about raising some Komodo dragons? With just a few cubs, they can thrive in this forest with no natural predators. Strangely, how can there be a cable in the river? ”

Only then did they notice that the rope they had climbed on was not a cable at all, but a cable thicker than an arm. It has a dark appearance, and there is some moss growing on it, which is obviously some years old.

Wang Xiaoyu couldn't help but secretly rejoice that it was another cable that saved his life, and he really had a relationship with these cables. In the cave at the bottom of the river a while ago, relying on the cable bitten by a rat, he killed the Burmese python with an electric current and saved himself and the foreign girl. This time, again, a cable became a life-saving rope.

The foreign girl also asked strangely: "How can there be a cable in this deep mountain and old forest?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu said: "Last time in the cave at the bottom of the river, the cables we encountered were connected from a small hydropower station, is it a secret hydropower station built here? ”

Yang Niu said: "There is a waterfall less than 100 meters in front of here, listen to the rumbling sound of the water, you know that the drop is definitely not small, but it is a good place to build a hydropower station." Only, who would go to the bottom of a river and build a secret hydropower station in a hidden cave? ”

Wang Xiaoyu said: "Maybe it's the underground X poison factory built by Poison X? Or is it the underground arsenal of the People's X Army? Either way, for the sake of secrecy, they are absolutely likely to kill people, and we must hurry away from this place. ”

Not far from the ground, the trees on the hill have grown all sorts of roots, some thicker than the mouth of a bowl. The two of them climbed the branches, stepped on the rock wall, and slowly crawled towards the small window at the top of the cave.

Suddenly, the root of the tree that the girl was climbing on shook violently, and her feet on the stone wall were pulled apart by the branches and hung in the air, and she only relied on her hands to grasp the root and swing on the stone wall. Wang Xiaoyu was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled the foreign girl over. Looking down, I saw that the Komodo dragon propped up its huge body, jumped up, two front paws climbed a protruding rock, and a pair of hind feet kicked on the stone wall, dagger-like claws scratched several bowl-thick roots, and after a few more blows, it seemed to climb up. If you go up to the stone platform below near the river, the stone wall above is not so smooth, and there are still many tree roots to climb, Wang Xiaoyu and Wang Xiaoyu can climb with both hands, then the Komodo dragon is even more useless. At that moment, the two of them crawled to the small window on the top of the cave.

The two climbed five or six meters upwards to climb the roots of the trees, and came out of one of the small holes, and outside, their eyes were aching from the fierce sun, and it was already close to noon.

Wang Xiaoyu looked down through the entrance of the cave, the Komodo dragon didn't catch up, it held on the rock for a while, and finally fell into the water, and was washed away by the panting river water towards the waterfall, and couldn't help laughing: "If you can't climb ashore, you paper tiger will soon become a dead tiger!" ”
