Volume 3 The Ghost Boat of the Sand Sea Chapter 62

We opened the partition and found that there was about five or six centimeters of space under the partition, and there was still a partition below the space, which was exactly the same as the one above. We opened it up, and down there was another layer of space and partitions. This makes us wonder. When we opened it again, we found that underneath was a half-man-high bilge.

I took a flashlight and shone it roughly at the bilge, but I didn't find anything.

"Isn't it just a cabin, do you need to be so mysterious?" The jar complained, "There are still three layers of partitions, and there is no one who has a good sense of anti-theft." ”

Xu Yunshu has a different opinion: "I think these layers of partitions are not anti-theft, but used to block water." ”

"Keeping the water out?"

Xu Yunshu said: "Look at the sealing of the partition, although it is not clear what material is made of, but the effect is definitely not worse than the current sealing process." I guess this is because once the lower bilge is flooded, this partition will be lowered to avoid the whole cabin being flooded, which will lead to the sinking of the ship. ”

"You really have a point in saying that!" Tanzi nodded and said.

We told Jin Yuxiang and the others the news, and they hurried over and asked Huo Ming and Luan Kun to go down to the bottom cabin to check. Soon, there was news. Huo Ming shouted from underneath that they had found a hatch underneath.

We followed it down to take a look, and sure enough, a hatch with a seal similar to the previous partition was at the bottom of the ship. This hatch also opens inward, and inside there are three thick metal latches that firmly block the hatch.

"Open it and take a look!" Jin Yuxiang ordered.

"Wait!" Ji Shanchuan stopped and said, "Once this door is opened, what should we do if the quicksand pours in?" ”

Jin Yuxiang said: "We are now in the sand, not in the water, how can there be sand pouring in!" ”

Ji Shanchuan said: "Now there is a lot of sand pressing on us, plus this boat, under such great pressure, as long as we open this hatch, there will definitely be sand pouring in!" ”

"He's right!" Hu Yunting also acknowledged Ji Shanchuan's statement, but he also had other ideas: "However, even if there is sand pouring in, we will have enough time to climb back to the upper cabin and then close the partition...... It won't have much of an impact. ”

"But ......" Ji Shanchuan was about to say more, but was interrupted by Jin Yuxiang: "Open it!" ”

Huo Ming and Luan Kun took a lot of effort to pull the latch of the door, and then used their daggers to cut the seal of the hatch. When they cautiously opened the hatch, they found that there was not much sand underneath it, and directly below the hatch was a stone door that was not much larger than the hatch.

The stone door was only two feet square and had a stone handle on it. It is fixed to a large stone platform with only a thin layer of sand on it.

This was a big surprise to us.

"Looks like we're at the bottom of the sand!" Dai Shuiyuan said.

Yang Haibin hurriedly asked, "Then how should we get out of here?" ”

Dai Shuiyuan shook his head and did not speak. Hu Yunting stepped forward and grabbed the handle of the slate door, and lifted it hard, but the slate only raised a gap slightly.

When Ji Shanchuan wanted to say something, he felt a cool breeze mixed with comfortable air, squeezing in through that gap, even if it was very weak, he could still feel it. This made him swallow back what he wanted to say immediately. Although we still have enough oxygen around us now, it has begun to thin out a little before we know it, and if we don't find an exit soon, it will only be a matter of time before we suffocate again.

"Great! It's an export! Everyone cheered, and although they didn't know where or what was underneath, at least the dilemma in front of them was solved.

"What a bright village! Heaven is not endless! Jin Yuxiang also smiled.

Hu Yunting put down the slate door and said to the car owner: "Captain, this door is quite heavy, let's leave it to you to get it!" With that, he walked back to the crowd. As he passed me, I asked him, "How do you know there's an exit down there?" ”

Hu Yunting smiled and said, "I don't know! But instead of staying here and waiting to die, you might as well take a good look at what's under the slate, and at least have a fight, right? It doesn't get worse than that anyway. ”

"Isn't it just a dead horse as a live horse doctor!" The jar interjected.

Hu Yunting pointed to the altar: "What you said is right, in fact, that's what you mean!" ”

The owner of the car lifted the stone slab with two people, and a large amount of fresh air poured into the cabin, which made us feel very comfortable. After opening the slate, Che Dong and the others used a searchlight to look under the slate and found that behind the slate door was a huge underground cave.

Although the current hypoxia crisis has been resolved, how to escape from this place is still unknown. However, what to do next, Jin Yuxiang gave a direct answer: "Let's go down!" ”

The owner tied the ropes they had brought with them to the boat and let everyone slide down one by one. Although Liang Huixue, Ji Shanchuan, and Zhang Deming were reluctant to risk their lives in an unfamiliar environment, they would be cut off from water and food sooner or later if they stayed on the boat, and there was no way to live, so they could only follow everyone down to the cave together.

I don't know how this hole was formed, but it was so big. This cave is more than ten meters high, especially wide, and can accommodate hundreds of people. This cave is not limited to this place, it also extends into the distance. We used a searchlight to shine into the cave, and there was no end in sight, only the depths of the cave blending into the darkness.

Jin Yuxiang raised his wrist and looked at the time, it was already half past six in the morning, and we spent half the night here. Ji Shanchuan and Dai Shuiyuan turned on the GPS to locate our current location, but they still couldn't connect to the satellite.

"It's already dawn outside, isn't it?" Xu Yunshu raised her head and muttered, "I wonder if I can see the sun outside again?" ”

The altar hurriedly snorted: "What are you talking about?" The three of us have been born and died many times, which one is not nine deaths? Didn't they all survive? Don't worry, as long as you follow the poor ghost, it will definitely be right! ”

I smiled wryly, "You have a lot of confidence in me?" ”

"Of course, I don't believe who do you believe at this time?" Jar said.

I said, "But I don't have the confidence to get you out of here?" ”

At this time, Jin Yuxiang said: "Everyone has been busy all night, and they have all worked hard. Let's take a break here and catch up on some sleep. Now that we've recharged, let's plan what to do next! ”
