Chapter 192: The Tunnel Is Flooded
The dust in the tunnel was covered with Wu Jingya's head, but he stood above Yingzi to prevent a little dust from falling on her head.
Yingzi looked at him, he smiled innocently, "Don't be afraid! There's me. ”
This man was going to kill himself in the last second, and this second this man was trying so hard to protect himself, why is this?
"Tick!"
A drop of water fell on Dou Zhenhai's head, "Where is the water leaking!" ”
Zhang Guozi squinted and found that there were cracks in the walls of the tunnel, and water droplets seeped out of the cracks. He leaned his ear against the wall, "Oh no, it's groundwater, and this wall is about to be washed away by groundwater." ”
Zhang Yiwan heard Zhang Guozi's statement and hurriedly asked the driver to help him over, he touched the crack in the wall with his hand, his expression was not very good, "You're right, there is underground water behind here." ”
"Then let's go back! The shaking was not strong yet, and after a while the mountains shook, we were drowned. The driver greeted everyone and said.
The crowd staggered towards the entrance of the tunnel.
The shaking of the ground was still violent, and Wu Jingya dragged Yingzi tightly, looking at the top from time to time, in case a stone fell and injured Yingzi. Yingzi saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face at all.
As we got closer to the entrance of the tunnel, I could already see the minecart I had just seen. It was at this time that the mouth of the tunnel collapsed. The rolled up dust rushed over like a storm, and Dou Zhenhai felt that his old bones were about to be blown down by this yellow wind.
"Ah, my eyes, eyes!" The grit blew into Eiko's eyes, instantly fascinating her vision. Wu saw that Yingzi turned into this and carried her directly on his back, "Don't move, grab my neck." Wu turned his head, "It's too dangerous here, everyone can only go back." ”
The driver helped Zhang Yiwan to walk back with difficulty, "Now the tunnel has collapsed again, and there is a dead end over there!" ”
Zhang Yiwan was very calm, "After going through so many things, I have nothing to be afraid of, probably because of numbness and sluggishness!" ”
"Look!" Dou Zhenhai pointed to the crack just now, which had expanded into a fist-sized hole, and the water flow had greatly increased.
And they all retreated. Wu took Yingzi on his back and carefully observed the entrance of the cave, and then looked up at the top, there were two pipes at the top of the tunnel mouth, and there was a small round hole under one of the pipes! This should be the exhaust and inlet ducts. This is a proprietary design that allows miners to absorb enough oxygen while working underground. Wu probably had an idea.
While everyone was retreating, he carried Yingzi on his back to the entrance of the cave out of the water.
"No, the water will blast open at the hole in a moment!" Zhang Yiwan reminded Wu that of course he was most worried about the Yingzi on Wu's back. Yingzi's eyes were closed at this time, which made him feel distressed when he saw it.
"It's okay, even if it collapses, it won't be so fast." Wu held the water spurting out of the hole with both hands and said to Yingzi, "You move your hand forward, I have water here, you want to wipe your eyes." ”
Yingzi tested Wu's palm and wiped it on his eyes with some water, "Ah, it hurts!" Yingzi shouted softly.
"Tap, it may be that a small stone has rolled into your eyes, don't try too hard or you will scratch your eyeballs." Wu reminded.
Yingzi wiped it several times, and then tentatively opened his eyes, at first it was a little blurry, and then it slowly became clearer, he saw that the size of the hole in front of him was getting bigger and bigger, and the water was rising more and more, and said anxiously, "What should I do?" ”
Wu put down Yingzi and retreated with her to the wall on the other side.
Zhang Guozi looked at him, "What should we do?" ”
Wu shrugged his shoulders, "For today's plan, we can only wait!" ”
"Wait? Isn't that just waiting to die? "The driver was a little out of breath.
Zhang Yiwan persuaded the driver, "Don't be impatient, Brother Wu naturally has a reason for saying this." ”
Dou Zhenhai asked, "Wait, but after the tunnel wall is completely washed away by the water, we will be sealed in this place and drowned alive!" ”
Wu analyzed, "The water will rush out after a while, the water potential will be very strong, we must hold the wall tightly, and the other is to prevent those sand and gravel from hitting us." ”
"And then? This is not a way to get out of danger, it can only delay our death! Zhang Guozi asked.
"Look up!" Wu Jingya pointed to the top and said, "There are two pipes on the top, which are the air extraction channel and the air intake channel, and there is a small opening at the bottom of the channel. We were just in time to use the buoyancy of the water to take us up and leave through that exit. ”
Zhang Guozi carefully observed the pipe, the pipeline was very long, and it went straight to the tunnel, and Wu's method was feasible. "How's your water?"
Zhang Yiwan was a little embarrassed, "I can swim, but if my wound encounters water for a while, it will be worse." ”
Zhang Guozi said disdainfully, "I don't care about any wounds when my life is almost gone, hey, in fact, you can shave while swimming in the water, so that you can keep your head exposed all the time, it should be a little useful." ”
Dou Zhenhai knew that Zhang Yiwan's neck was injured because of himself. He raised his hand and said, "Your wounds are all because of me, I know water, I'll swim with you on my back in a while!" ”
Zhang Yiwan didn't appreciate it, and was silent and didn't respond.
The driver patted his chest, "The major general handed it over to me." Who else can't swim! ”
Yingzi raised her hand in embarrassment, "I can't swim!" ”
Wu was a little surprised, "Aren't you from Hankou?" How is it also a landlubber? ”
Yingzi glared at him angrily, "I'm from the north, and you don't know it." ”
Wu was a little ashamed, Yingzi came to Hankou in order to escape the harm of Zhang Guizi, he had known about this for a long time, and he asked knowingly just now, which provoked Yingzi again. "It's okay, I'll carry you on my back for a while, and I'll be completely submerged in the water, and I'll make sure your head is exposed outside the water."
Yingzi nodded.
"Boom!" The pressure of the water behind the wall grew stronger, and finally the entire wall was broken, and the water rushed towards them.
"What should I do?" Yingzi was very nervous, and he held Wu Jingya's hand.
Wu turned his head and smiled at her, "Inhale hard, you may have to hold it for a long time, don't dare to drink the water." ”
The water rushed over, and everyone clung to the wall tightly to avoid being swept away by the countercurrent of the huge waves. Suddenly, a big wave hit and sucked Yingzi and Dou Zhenhai over at once. Wu grabbed the wall with one hand and pulled Yingzi's arm tightly with the other. "Don't be afraid, hurry up, he struggled to pull Yingzi back." It happened that at this time, Shunliu rushed over again, pushed the distant Yingzi back, and crashed into Wu's arms.
