As a blasting expert, Ning Xiaofan has a super psychological quality, and has always maintained a calm mentality, while sneaking, he looks up from time to time, hoping to find a temporary place to stay before running out of air.

The current situation is already very dangerous, and if they find a place where they don't settle down to breathe in a short time, Ning Xiaofan and his party may have to drown alive. Of course, if you find a place to stay, there is a chance of survival, even if you can't find an exit to the mine, or you can't swim back, you can still send a distress signal to the outpost, and then the outpost will send someone to rescue you.

Seeing the continuous consumption of the air tank, even Ning Xiaofan felt a little up and down in his heart, at this time, there was a faint raised shadow above the water in front of him.

Ning Xiaofan was overjoyed and swam towards the shadow.

Under the shadow, Ning Xiaofan turned off the booster and began to float towards the water, not daring to float too fast so as not to touch the dome.

Fortunately, when we reached the water's surface, the overhead lights had already shone on the water, and there was indeed a rock wall above the water that was not flooded

Ning Xiaofan had no scruples, and then kicked his feet down the water, and he surfaced.

Seventy percent of the air in the air cylinder has been consumed, in order to save the little air left, Ning Xiaofan took off the breathing apparatus the first thing he surfaced, and then took off the blindfold to take a closer look, only then did he see clearly that the so-called shadow was a rock wall.

This rock wall is relatively steep, more than ten meters high, almost 90 degrees of slope, the bulge that can be started is about one meter or so from the water surface, and the bottom of the bulge is extremely smooth, if you want to go up, you have to find a way to find a support point.

At this time, everyone had surfaced one after another, and when they saw the condition of the rock wall in front of them, they all had a little headache.

Without a place to start, it is impossible to climb, and in desperation, Ning Xiaofan dived underwater again to observe the underwater wall.

The so-called endless road, Ning Xiaofan soon found that there was a small raised rock on the wall soaked in water, and his hands could hold it, so that he only needed to find a lighter person to step on his shoulder, and he could jump up with his strength, and then hold the bulge above that could be started.

The lightest weight of everyone present should be Hou San.

Ning Xiaofan immediately called Hou San to the front and explained to him the way to go up, and after Hou San understood, Ning Xiaofan signaled Hou San to reduce his weight, and only took out the rope and coiled it on his body. He also handed over the weight to Lao Wang, and then dived into the water again, holding the raised rock under the water with both hands.

Hou San knew that Ning Xiaofan would not be able to support it for long, so he stepped on his shoulder with a quick movement, and jumped up with a kick under his feet.

The distance of one meter is not high, Hou San successfully held the raised rock above, and with the place to borrow, it was relatively easy to climb.

It didn't take long for Hou San to put down the rope.

With the help of the rope, Ning Xiaofan, Aunt Xiang and others climbed onto the rock wall one after another.

To everyone's delight, there was a foothold of more than 300 square meters above the rock wall, and the ground was piled up with strangely shaped stalactites, facing water on two sides and higher rock walls on the other two.

After a dive down, although everyone did not consume much physical strength, the mental pressure was not small, you know, before finding this foothold, once the air is exhausted, this little life will be over, to find such a seemingly Jedi foothold, everyone is still relieved, and there is a feeling of the rest of their lives.

After a short break, Ning Xiaofan called everyone together to discuss the next steps.

There are not too many options in the current situation, one is to continue to climb the rock wall to see if you can find a way out after the high rock wall. The second is to continue to sneak in the water and find a way out underwater.

After deliberating for a while, they decided to go up to the rock wall to find a way out, and if there was no way out behind the rock wall, then consider going underwater.

The rock walls on both sides of the platform are about 100 meters high, avoiding steep and smooth, extremely difficult to climb, only Hou San has the ability to climb up with his bare hands, and this task is handed over to Hou San.

It is extremely dangerous to climb a cliff of nearly 100 meters with bare hands, but Hou San showed a very sure look, took off his diving suit, and after preparing a bundle of ropes, he began to climb upward.

Hou San deserves the nickname of "monkey", his movements are quite flexible, and after a few movements, he has gone up more than ten meters.

The higher you go, the more difficult it becomes, but Hou San can always find a way to find the starting point, sometimes hanging with one hand, sometimes jumping horizontally, thrilling, and everyone is frightened, for fear that he will accidentally fall from a high altitude.

Fortunately, Hou San lived up to expectations, climbing all the way up, and when his thin figure disappeared at the top of the rock wall, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

What's on top of the cliff? Everyone didn't know, and next, they could only wait patiently for Hou San to send back a message

There was an unbearable silence, time passed minute by minute, Hou San had no news back, just when everyone was a little secretly anxious, at this time, a trace of electromagnetic sound came from the walkie-talkie in Ning Xiaofan's hand, followed by Hou San's voice: "Brother Xiaofan, find a passage...... Still, there's water down there. ”

Or water? What do you mean?

I only heard Hou San continue: "I found a crack that can accommodate two people walking side by side, but the terrain is facing down, and the end is flooded, I dripped forward for a while, the water is not deep, about waist deep......"

"Is there a way out?"

"I don't know, I'm at a fork in the road, I don't know where to go? Won't I ask you if I want to continue to explore the path, and if I continue, which way should I go? ”

Track? Ning Xiaofan frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Have you tried the depth of the water in the two forks?" ”

"I tried, but I didn't dare to go deep, it's almost waist-deep, and I don't know how deep the water is."

"Well, you wait a minute, I'll discuss it with them."

After Ning Xiaofan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Aunt Xiang and the fat man and the others: "You all heard it, Hou San found a road that leads to nowhere, and it has to flow water, and it is currently waist-deep, but I don't know if the road behind is flooded, what do you think, is it going up?" Or ask Hou San to come back, and then go into the water from here to find another way

The fat man said almost without thinking: "Go up, there is not much oxygen in the air tank, I can't guarantee whether I can hold on to the water from here until I find the exit, the road that Hou San found is not deep, after all, I can continue to move forward, and when there is really no way out, it is not too late to turn back." ”

"Aunt Xiang, what do you think?" Among the crowd, Ning Xiaofan had to respect Aunt Xiang's opinion.

Aunt Xiang groaned slightly and said, "Little Fat has a point, go up." “

Chubby? It's too ungentleman. The fat man couldn't help rolling his eyes, but he knew in his heart that this beautiful mature woman's status in the company was not low, so he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.

Since Aunt Xiang agreed with the fat man's words, Ning Xiaofan no longer consulted others, and immediately used the walkie-talkie to inform Hou San to go back to the top of the rock wall first, and then put the rope down.

After a while, a rope hangs down.

Everyone took off their wetsuits and began to organize their equipment.

Ning Xiaofan and the other big men were very convenient, so they took off their diving suits on the spot, and they were shirtless one by one, and only a pair of underwear on the bottom.

However, Aunt Xiang is not very convenient, she only wears underwear in her diving suit, which is still very sexy, how embarrassed to take off her diving suit in public, seeing a group of big men taking off almost completely naked, she was so ashamed that she hurriedly carried her backpack and hid behind a stalactite shaped like a column, and at the end, she also greeted Ning Xiaofan: "Xiaofan, come here." ”

Ning Xiaofan had just taken off only a pair of underwear, and before he could put it on, when he heard Aunt Xiang greeting him, he didn't realize how indecent it was for him to be naked for most of his body, so he immediately walked over and asked, "Aunt Xiang, what's the matter."

Aunt Xiang saw him wearing a pair of underwear and walked over, although it was black underwear, but the underwear was a tight triangle shape, which made a very conspicuous mark on the key part.

Aunt Xiang inadvertently looked at it in her eyes, her pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly, and she couldn't blame him, so she could only pretend to turn a blind eye and said, "You help me guard here, I want to change my clothes." ”

Ning Xiaofan reacted when she heard her say this, fainted to death, and forgot that there was a person of the opposite sex in the team.

It's just that Aunt Xiang didn't wait for him to respond, so she hid behind the stalactite pillar and began to take off her diving suit, Ning Xiaofan didn't leave, she didn't stay, and she was very embarrassed.

After waiting for a while, Aunt Xiang changed into outdoor clothes and came out, and said with a slightly red face: "I'm okay, thank you, you can change it here too, I'll help you get your backpack." ”

Aunt Xiang said, as if she was ashamed to see his indecent appearance now, and left in a hurry, and soon, she walked over with Ning Xiaofan's backpack.

Everyone changed their clothes, and without much delay, they climbed up the rock wall with their backpacks on their backs.

With the help of rope buckles, and the role of pulleys, coupled with Hou San's response on it, it is relatively easy for everyone to climb to the top of the rock wall.

When they reached the top of the rock wall, everyone did not rest, and Hou San led the way in front, and after a while, they arrived in front of the crack where Hou San was.

The crack is three meters high, one and a half meters wide, relatively narrow, and the wooden box carried by Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi is large and can no longer be brought in, so everyone can only open the wooden box and pack some useful equipment in their respective backpacks, as for the unimportant items can only be temporarily discarded.

I don't know how this crack was formed? It is dark and narrow, and when you enter, the terrain slopes downward, forming a steep slope.

Fortunately, the slope of the slope is not as exaggerated as the UU degree, and the foot is also potholed, so there is no problem with landing, be careful not to roll down.

Hou San led the way in front of the reminder, everyone came to the end of the slope smoothly, as Hou San said, the passage at the end of the slope was full of water, when everyone waded into the water one by one, the water just flooded to the waist.
