Chapter 300: The lesser of two evils
"It won't take that long, according to my calculations, it will take about nine days." Liu Yunsheng waved his hand and replied indifferently.
I said in my heart that nine days seemed to be not short, and before I could leave, I saw Liu Yunsheng squatting down and drawing a few lines on the ground, and then he pointed to a certain section of one of the curves and said: "This is where we are now - this is the location of the collapse, judging from the degree of cracking of the nearby rocks, I estimate that the length of the collapse part is about 70 meters." ”
No one spoke, quietly waiting for Liu Yunsheng's next words, only to see that he drew a straight line connecting the two ends of the curve: "It takes too much time to clean up the landslide, and the geological conditions here are not very stable, and there may be a secondary landslide, so my suggestion is to dig a channel directly, the distance between these two points is about 30 meters, if we rush to work day and night, it is expected to be completed within two days." ”
Still no one spoke, Chen Fang picked up a stone and knocked it on the rock wall next to him, "bang" smashed straight to spark, Xiao Wu blinked his eyes twice and asked tentatively, "How to dig?" ”
Liu Yunsheng's expression was as usual, I thought he had a way to just breathe a sigh of relief, but I didn't expect him to raise his eyes and look at me: "You come and find a way." ”
"Why me!" I screamed, so shocked that I almost didn't bite my tongue off, but Liu Yunsheng twisted his face and pretended not to hear, seeing the hopeful eyes of Xiao Wu and other Liu family members, I almost had the heart to strangle Liu Yunsheng!
Just now, I saw that he proposed to dig a tunnel, and even the approximate construction period was calculated, I thought he already had a solution to these rocks, but I didn't expect his solution to be to throw this hot potato to me!
Considering the difference in combat effectiveness between us, in the end, I still took a few deep breaths to force myself to calm down, and after grabbing my hair and meditating for a while, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "We are here to save people, there is no need to fight hard with these stones!" ”
"That makes sense," Xiao Wu nodded, and then changed the conversation: "But if we don't fight hard, we won't be able to move on, right?" ”
"yes, that's what I thought, too." Chen Fang said to the side.
I said in my heart, didn't you two fight to the death just now? It's only a cigarette that has become so tacit? Rolling his eyes and ignoring them, he pointed to the direction of the cave entrance when he came: "When Hao Jian and I came out of the ground before, Hu Tu said that he came out of another route, which is a naturally formed mountain crack, although there are many forks in it, but it is definitely more efficient than digging stones here, right?" ”
Chen Fang and Xiao Wu nodded in agreement, but Liu Yunsheng didn't speak, at first I wanted to wait for him to think it through, but after more than half an hour, I became impatient, and couldn't help urging: "Let's not pretend to be deep here!" The lesser of two evils, the boss is still trapped underneath, no matter how hesitant you are, the daylily is cold! ”
Only then did Liu Yunsheng speak: "I know the mountain crack you mentioned, and I came out of there. ”
"So what? To go or not to go? I asked casually, and as soon as the words came out, Liu Yunsheng escaped from that crack before, but now the first responder hesitated to go in, making it clear that there was danger in that crack!
Liu Yunsheng seemed to guess my thoughts, nodded imperceptibly, I also hesitated when I saw this situation, there are too many secrets in this mountain, we used the route opened up by the Immortal Society before and died for a lifetime, if we bump around like a headless fly, I can't tell these people to fold here!
Thinking of this, I began to retreat a little, but Liu Yunsheng seemed to have made up his mind, and directly clapped his hands and said: "Just according to what you said!" Let's go find that crack! ”
"But ......"
I was about to say that isn't there danger in that crack? As a result, as soon as he said two words, he was stopped by Liu Yunsheng with his eyes, although I felt strange, but out of trust in him, I didn't say anything, I hid the topic away, and then the group exited the cave to find the mountain crack.
Liu Yunsheng was seriously injured when he escaped before, and he only had a vague memory of the route, but fortunately, Hu Tu had told the whole story in detail in order to brag about himself, so I followed his description and searched backwards, and it didn't take long to find a low and narrow cave.
This cave is on the side of the mountain, the height is only about half a meter, with my figure to be sideways to get in, even the professional tactical flashlight can't shine on the head, the deep pitch black piece does not know how long, feel carefully and feel the cool breeze blowing out, indicating that this crack leads to a large space,
Xiao Wu volunteered to open the way, but I felt that this kid was a little frizzy and didn't agree, after all, there had just been an earthquake in this mountainous area, and no one knew what was going on in the depths of this mountain crack, so the matter of exploring the road must be handed over to a calm and calm person.
As soon as I said the request, everyone nodded in agreement, and then looked at Liu Yunsheng in unison, who took off his backpack without saying a word, tied it with a short rope and dragged it to the ground, and then turned sideways and went into the cave.
After he got into it for two or three meters, I also followed him in, and then Xiao Wu and the rest of the Liu family, and Chen Fang was in charge of breaking the back.
Because this mountain crack is too narrow, people have to maintain a side-lying posture almost the whole time inside, only the hands and feet on the same side can touch the ground, and they can't turn around, plus the rock squeezes the chest, only ten meters I feel out of breath, but seeing Liu Yunsheng in front of me still climbing fast, I can only continue to grit my teeth and follow his pace.
After another 30 meters, we finally came to a relatively spacious position, which was said to be spacious, but in fact it was just enough for us to go from lying on our sides to lying flat, and after a few minutes of rest to replenish our strength, we changed our posture and continued to climb into the depths of the mountain cracks, but some places were still narrow and could only be passed sideways.
The rough gravel was hot and painful on the body, at the beginning, Xiao Wu and Chen Fang would fight from time to time, but after a few minutes, there was no movement, and my state was not much better, at first there was still the consciousness of "following Liu Yunsheng", but later it became a completely mechanical action, and even the feeling consciousness began to be in a trance, and there was only Liu Yunsheng's sole two or three meters away in his eyes.
In fact, from the time we got into the crack to the present, we have only climbed a distance of seventy or eighty meters, but I feel like I have been crawling here all my life!
Raise your hand, drop your hand, raise your knee, drop your knee...... I repeated these movements mechanically, I don't know how long it took, my head suddenly hit something not so rough, I looked up and looked ahead, it turned out that Liu Yunsheng didn't know why he stopped, I just hit the sole of his shoe.
I stared at the pattern on the sole of his shoes for a few seconds before I came back to my senses, and was about to ask him what was going on, when Liu Yunsheng suddenly leaned his face in front of me in a very distorted posture, put his fingers to his mouth and made a silent gesture.
Liu Yunsheng's expression was very nervous, and even cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and I suddenly "chuckled" in my heart - I'm afraid there is a situation ahead!
