Chapter 269: The Crimson River
Yuan Muye saw that Forging Feng's expression was different, so he stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
After hearing this, Forging Feng shone a flashlight on the ground and said, "You can see that these slightly shallow traces on the ground are left by the first batch of people, and from these traces, it seems that they have no ...... to return."
When Yuan Muye heard this, he said suspiciously, "How is this possible?" Wang Hailong: Didn't the worker they rescued come back? If there is no trace of him walking back on the ground...... Could it be that he still flew back?! ”
Forging Feng shook his head with a smile and said, "Who knows? Anyway, the marks on the moss don't deceive......"
Who knew that at this moment, I saw Huang Zongyi make another pause gesture, and then everyone heard the sound of rushing water not far away!
"There's probably an underground river up ahead." Chen Hui said.
After hearing this, Huang Zongyi said to everyone, "It is likely that you will have to cross the river in a while, everyone should tidy up their belongings, don't be washed away by the water when crossing the river!" ”
After everyone listened to Huang Zongyi's words, only the team doctor Yuan Yuan and nurse Yang Jing really had to sort it out, and the rest of the people should not be working in the field for the first time, so it was impossible to make such a low-level mistake......
As a result, when everyone went around a huge columnar stalactite, an underground waterway only four or five meters wide was in front of them, and the reason why they heard a loud sound of water just now was entirely because there was a small drop in the middle of this underground waterway, forming a small waterfall half a person high, and the echo in the cave was very large, so it sounded like a big river flowing endlessly from a distance.
At this time, another team member named Zhao Tianen walked to the river to check first, and then he turned his head and said to everyone, "The river is very shallow, at most it can not reach the calf!" ”
As soon as everyone heard this, they all came to the river to check, the river was indeed not very deep, even Yang Jing, the shortest among everyone, was at most knee-high. Yuan Yuan and Yang Jing breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it, the two of them didn't have any experience in field work at first glance, and it was estimated that they were also ordered to catch the danger.
Although this underground river was very good, after crossing the river, Forging Feng's face became a little gloomy, because there was a gravel beach on the other side of the river, and the traces of the first batch of people who entered the cave had completely disappeared here......
"What is that?" Yang Jing suddenly pointed to the ground in front of him and said.
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and the sharp-eyed people could see at a glance that it was a red kettle, lying quietly on the gravel beach...... Huang Zongyi immediately ran over to check at this time and found that it was a kettle with the words "XX Construction Unit" written on it.
At this time, Forging Feng also walked over and glanced at the kettle in Huang Zongyi's hand and said, "This should be the first batch of people to enter the cave......
After hearing this, Huang Zongyi shook it vigorously and said, "The water inside is empty, which means that some people have already drunk all the water on their bodies when they walked here." ”
Zhang Dajun said suspiciously, "No, the climate here is humid, the temperature is not high, and there is not much to go from the entrance of the cave to here, so it shouldn't be so water-consuming under normal circumstances, right?" ”
Yuan Muye thought for a while and said, "Unless there is something wrong with that person's body and he needs to drink a lot of water......
"If you're in a state of condition, why don't you go back the way you came?" Yuan Yuan asked in confusion.
Yuan Muye shook his head and said, "With this clue, we can't analyze the situation at that time, so we can only continue to look forward." ”
After a short rest, the group continued to walk deeper into the cave, and the formation remained the same as before, except that the person who had been behind changed from Forging Feng to Yuan Muye.
Who knew that just when everyone was walking forward without looking back, Yuan Muye's body suddenly shook, and then he immediately stopped...... When he slowly turned his head to look at the underground river channel before, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
At this time, Forging Feng found that Yuan Muye did not follow, so he turned back to him and said, "Let's go?" What do you see? ”
Yuan Muye did not sign him back, but quickly returned to the river, and saw that the river water, which was still crystal clear just now, was slowly infected with a layer of red at this time......
Forging Feng immediately realized that something was wrong, so he ran back quickly, but when he saw the change in the river, he was also surprised, "Where did you get so much blood?" ”
After hearing this, Yuan Muye looked at the outlet at the end of the river and said, "It's floating downstream, but I don't know if the destination of our trip will be upstream or downstream......
The two of them did not make a big noise after that, but returned to the group silently, because if they did not plan to return at the moment, speaking out would only increase the panic in everyone's hearts.
"Is it human blood?" Forging Feng asked in a low voice.
Yuan Muye shook his head and said, "After diluting the river water, the taste will become lighter, and I can't be sure if it's human blood, but it's definitely blood." ”
Forging Feng thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that there are some large aquatic creatures upstream that have been eaten by natural enemies?" ”
"So much blood, how big is that?" Yuan Muye said in disbelief.
But Forging Feng said, "It doesn't have to be a big thing, but it may be a lot of it?" ”
After hearing this, Yuan Muye snorted lightly, "None of them are optimistic...... If it's a big head, then the thing that can eat it won't be too small; If there are more of them, then there will only be more of them eaten! ”
When Forging Feng heard him say this, he asked, "Then what do you think?" ”
Yuan Muye thought for a while and said, "My suggestion is to return the same way immediately...... You have also seen the situation of Dr. Chen and those two female comrades, once something happens, with their physical strength and reflexes, they will definitely hold everyone back. ”
When Forging Feng heard this, he shook his head and said, "With the current situation, whether it is Huang Zongyi or Chen Hui...... I don't think anyone will agree with your suggestion. ”
Yuan Muye sighed when he heard this, "Okay, it's also possible that it's because of my personal reasons, so that I feel a little uneasy when I see blood, but I still think that the people who disappeared in the first place are definitely not so simple as being disoriented." ”
Because he had just seen a large amount of blood floating down from the upstream river, Yuan Muye's senses were slightly stimulated, and his heartbeat slowly accelerated. So he had to take out the nutritious cookies in his pocket and eat them, so as to temporarily suppress the restlessness in his heart......
When the others saw it, they also took out food supplies, so Huang Zongyi asked everyone to rest in place for a while, and then continue to set off after eating.
