Hao Jianping is not in tune, it is quite reliable at a critical time, we waited for a few minutes and saw a flashlight shaking at the wellhead, and quickly pulled his neck and shouted, and after a while, a rope hung down, and there was a bucket tied to the bottom, which is estimated to be removed from the well.

In order to prevent Hao Jian from blowing up after knowing the truth, I repeatedly told Kiko not to tell about the parasite, Kiko left his bag before leaving, although the method of chasing corpses is useless against the parasite, but there are some things in it that we can still use.

Seeing Kiko approaching the wellhead little by little, I lowered my voice and asked Liu Yunsheng, "You didn't tell the truth just now, did you?" Kiko is also parasitized, right? ”

"No, she's been in the water for too short." Liu Yunsheng flatly denied it, but for the first time, he dodged my gaze.

"I don't want to say it." I shrugged my shoulders and tried to pretend to be light-hearted, I didn't know why he was hiding it from Kiko, and I didn't have the energy to study his mental activity at this juncture, only that if we didn't find the antidote, we would be the walking dead—no, the walking dead, because the parasites would eat all our flesh.

When Kiko climbed up the well safely, Liu Yunsheng turned around and swam in the direction of the passage without a sound, and I hurriedly paddled to follow and asked, "Don't talk about Kiko, can you tell me the truth?" Is there an antidote? ”

"Theoretically, there is," Liu Yunsheng replied paddling through the water, "I noticed just now that the distribution of parasites in the water is not uniform, as long as you check the waters where there are no parasites gathering, you can find things that they dislike, and maybe you can drive away the parasites in our bodies." ”

I frowned: "Maybe?" ”

"There is a more reliable way, go and see that passage again," Liu Yunsheng said in a low voice: "Parasite is a kind of artificially cultivated Gu worm, and if you can't find a host for a long time, you will enter a dormant period, and the parasites during this period are very fragile, so that there are almost no parasites in nature, and a large number of parasites suddenly appear here, indicating that the place where the parasites are cultivated is nearby." ”

I was confused, and it took me a long time to figure out a little bit of the idea: "Do you think there will be an antidote to the place where parasites are cultivated?" But what does this have to do with that underwater passage? ”

"The method of cultivating parasites has long been lost, so the parasites here are definitely not recently cultivated, but have escaped from a disconnected space, and we may be able to find clues there." Liu Yunsheng explained without looking back.

"Broken Dynasty Space......" I muttered, even though I suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "You're talking about the ancient tomb!" That underwater passage is actually a thief hole! ”

"That's right." Liu Yunsheng nodded and stopped suddenly, and I realized that we had swam to the edge of the stone wall.

"Could it be that Cheng Weihai was really a tomb robber before? That's why there will be soul lamps and Luoyang shovels in the old house! My inspiration poured out like a spring, but it was soon blocked by doubt: "But what is the matter with this underwater robbery?" I haven't heard of a single grave robber who can burrow underwater. ”

"The water level was not so high when they attacked the cave," Liu Yunsheng explained: "Just now I dived to the bottom of the water in order to lure away the floating corpses, and when I came up, I found that there were several traces of water erosion on the stone wall at different times. ”

Listening to Liu Yunsheng's words, the scene of the young version of Cheng Weihai hanging on the cliff and digging a hole after chisel came to my mind, and I thought it should be a very boring time.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with me, Liu Yunsheng sank into the water, and after a while, he floated up and handed me the chain welded to the iron door: "I'll take the other end into the hole later, and you wait for my signal outside." ”

"What signal?" I didn't get it.

Liu Yunsheng pulled the chain in my hand: "One time means that you can enter the internal security, and three times means that there is danger, you can pull me out as quickly as possible." ”

"Wait! You want to go in on your own? Didn't you just probe once and didn't find the end? I asked hurriedly.

"There's very little space in the cave and I can't turn around, so I'll have to leave some oxygen and swim back upside down, but if you're pulling outside, I'll go backwards faster, so I can put more oxygen on exploration." Liu Yunsheng explained.

"What if the chain isn't long enough?" I pressed again.

"No, I've seen it, this iron chain is a hill at the bottom of the water, conservatively estimated to be more than 100 meters, the hardness of the mountain rock here is higher, and there is no need to consider scattering soil and avoiding people's eyes, so it will not be too long to steal the hole, more than 100 meters is enough." Liu Yunsheng said firmly.

"But ......"

I still felt that it was inappropriate, but Liu Yunsheng had made up his mind, and before I finished speaking, he turned over and went into the water, and when I chased down, he had already gone sideways into the thief hole, leaving only an iron chain that was quickly pulled in!

"Does this guy never listen to people?"

I cursed in my heart, all my attention was focused on the iron chain in my hand, the iron chain covered with rusty flowers rubbed against the palm of my hand has a wonderful touch, and it is a little numb and crispy after a long time, this feeling reminds me of the parasite that has penetrated into the body, quickly pick up a handful of cold water and splash it on my face to keep calm, otherwise I will easily be killed by my imagination!

Ten minutes have passed in a blink of an eye, during which I have gone into the water more than once to check, the iron chain has been pulled into the thief hole at a constant speed, I remember Liu Yunsheng said that his limit of breath-holding time is twelve minutes, and now the remaining iron chain is less than ten meters, that is to say, Liu Yunsheng has advanced nearly 100 meters in the thief hole, I am sure to pull him out in one minute, so he has one minute left to move.

"Fifty-nine, fifty-eight......"

I began to count down in my mind, and when the time came, I had to act, whether he found the end or not, or his situation would be in danger!

"Three, two......"

As soon as the word "one" sounded in my mind, I immediately grabbed the chain and swam to the rear, but before I could raise the speed, a very domineering force suddenly came from the chain, and I was forced to stop, I was stunned for half a second before I remembered the code just agreed: it means internal security, you can enter!

"Oh yes! Die and die! ”

I cursed secretly, took a deep breath and held it in my lungs, and then pulled the chain hard to inform Liu Yunsheng that I was ready, almost at the same time as the vibration passed, there was a more domineering force coming from the chain, I didn't even see what was going on and was pulled underwater, I just got sideways into the thief hole and felt my ankles tighten, and my heart said Why didn't my body get stuck but stuck my feet and neck?

When I looked back, I saw a miserable white hand clutching my ankle, and a big face that was swollen into a hair cake was desperately squeezing into the thief hole!
