Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Underwater World
Repeating the trip again, Lu Jingnian came to the high platform, and deliberately looked back to observe, the strength was still there, but there was obviously no trace.
Going down the landslide, I once again confirmed the signs of the first few plaques, although the water spray on both sides was larger, but I was prepared in my heart, and it was not difficult to remember the last two black plaques. Sure enough, thanks to this spraying device, the water is constantly added to the pool, because it has already fallen into the water before it has even slipped to the end.
Lu Jingnian fell into the dark water, and then kicked his legs and returned to the water. He swam forward, but failed to see the vertical staircase. He had to stop first, swinging his feet nimbly and floating above the water. There was a white expanse in front of me, and I couldn't make out the direction. Underwater exploration is also not feasible, and it is even more difficult to do in the darkness of vision.
For a moment, Lu Jingnian froze in place. If you can't swim blindly anymore, you will probably swim farther and farther, wasting a lot of time. Taking a deep breath, Lu Jingnian dived into the water, swam in the direction he had just come, and then kept diving, diving......
Finally, I touched the edge of the slide. He swam up in place, changed his breath, and continued to dive. In this way, I groped along the slide, and finally touched the traces of the vertical staircase.
There were no more accidents, Lu Jingnian went down the stairs and returned to the ground.
According to Lu Jingnian's instructions, Yuwen didn't go far, but stretched her muscles and bones in place. The waiting time was very difficult, and she gradually became a little anxious. The surroundings were quiet, there was no sound, and the visibility was extremely low.
Finally seeing Lu Jingnian appear, Yuwen walked over and carefully checked whether Lu Jingnian was okay. Touching the red-stained wound, Yuwen paused, but she also understood that there was no comfort at this time.
Lu Jingnian stood up and wiped a handful of water stains on his face. Seeing Yu Wenwen, who was well, her expression also returned to her usual state, she breathed a sigh of relief, and confirmed again, "How do you feel?" ”
Yuwen paused, reacted that he was asking about his status, and replied, "...... I'm fine. ”
Lu Jingnian nodded, looked at the timer in the distance, lowered his eyelashes slightly, and sighed softly, "It's been five hours......
Yuwen didn't hear clearly, she cleared her throat and asked, "What now?" ”
Lu Jingnian, "Go back, go and see the other way!" ”
Yuwen nodded.
The two soon came to the fork in the road and walked along another road.
After walking for a while, Yuwen grabbed Lu Jingnian, and the two stopped. She looked around, sometimes looking ahead, sometimes looking back, frowning thoughtfully.
In a quiet environment, they usually do not speak loudly. Lu Jingnian asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Yuwen Yu's tone was slightly confused, "Have you noticed...... The color of the white mist changed...... "My throat was still very uncomfortable, and my words caused pain.
Lu Jingnian followed Yuwen's gaze, which was exactly the direction he was about to go, but he couldn't see any changes. However, not to be able to ignore any of the findings, he asked, "What has changed?" ”
Yuwen heard Lu Jingnian's answer, and then looked ahead, and her words were already revealed. "It's like ink dripping into milk," she says...... The color of the white fog has turned gray! She swallowed, her dry throat wet.
Lu Jingnian was surprised, "Ash? Didn't you? ”
Yuwen spoke again with some difficulty, "I'm sure." ”
Lu Jingnian noticed Yuwen's abnormality, so he dissuaded, "You better talk less!" Anyway, we'll have to go ahead and have a look......"
Yu Wenwen said she had no opinion.
Moving forward, without being reminded by Yu Wenwen, Lu Jingnian could also notice that the color had changed. From off-white ...... To the gray ...... Gradually it began to be a little grayish-black...... As far as the eye can see, pitch black appears!
Their pace slowed down a little, and at this point, they stopped. In that kind of darkness, there is always a sense of foreboding.
Maybe it was because there were no accidents along the way, which made Lu Jingnian have an idea, and he said to Yuwen'er, "You wait for me here, or go back to the place just now and wait, I'll go ahead and take a look......"
Yuwen grabbed Lu Jingnian's sleeve, "No! ”
Lu Jingnian, "may be dangerous......"
Yuwen Woman, "Let's be together!" ”
Lu Jingnian looked at Yuwen Wen's determined eyes and sighed, "Okay! Follow me! If you encounter any accidents, you should run back! ”
Yuwen lowered her eyes, pursed her mouth, and did not respond.
Maybe it was because of the experience of being underwater just now, Lu Jingnian was still calm, and let Yuwen pull his sleeve, and just like that, the two stepped into the darkness.
The cold water vapor on his face, Lu Jingnian felt familiar, his face tightened, and he looked around. He turned around and grabbed Yuwen's wrist to make sure the two didn't break up.
Yuwen was stunned when she noticed such an action, she broke free with her backhand, and reached out to hold Lu Jingnian's hand before Lu Jingnian tried to explain the action.
Lu Jingnian was also stunned by this move, but he regained his freedom in the middle of the sound, held Yuwen in his hand, and continued to explore forward.
As she continued to go deeper, Yuwen felt a little cold, she pulled Lu Jingnian's hand and said to him, "Cold!" "When I speak, my voice is trembling.
Lu Jingnian naturally also felt that the body temperature at the overlap of his hands was gradually cooling, and when he heard this, he turned his head. He vaguely noticed that Yu Wenwen's cheeks were white again, and her lips were purple from the cold. At the same time, he noticed the countdown indication, and another hour passed!
This is obviously different from the equivalent concept of time in the outside world, and the front has not been checked, so he can't help but consume the time he sent Yuwen back. Let Yuwen go back by herself? It was okay just now, but now in the dark, think about it or give up!
"Offended ......" said, Lu Jingnian hugged Yuwen into his arms, "Bear with it!" I'm not at ease, I'll let you go back alone now! ”
Yuwen was taken aback by this action and blushed, but fortunately, the light was dim, and no one could notice such a picture. Lu Jingnian's embrace was very warm, snuggled in his arms for a moment, Yuwen still broke free of the warmth, and said, "Go on!" After saying that, he closed his mouth to prevent the cold from entering his mouth.
Lu Jingnian, "I can't stand it, you must tell me!" ”
"Good!" Yuwen Yu seems to be a nasal voice.
Lu Jingnian was in front, and Yuwen was close behind.
Something unusual was felt on the cheeks, something unusual hit them, and deeper shadows appeared in the darkness.
Lu Jingnian hurriedly stopped, waiting to return to a calm state. However, for a long time...... It didn't work out as he hoped. From left to right, right to left, the distance is far and near, and the unknown creatures are constantly drifting by.
