Xiao Mao didn't get out of the water for a whole hour, which hit me very psychologically, this team that came to Ta'er Lake was the largest number of people since several operations, but there were many accidents in the middle, and the members walked to death, and now there are only two people left, Xiao Mao and I, if Xiao Mao has another accident, what can I do?

I still can't tell whether Xiao Mao suffered an accident caused by human factors, or the danger of Ta'er Lake itself, I walked around the shore anxiously, and finally couldn't help it, rowed the raft, to the place where Xiao Mao came out of the water just now.

The quiet and turbid water of the lake does not fluctuate, and it is impossible to see anything clearly through the water. The area of the water is so large, it is impossible for me to know where Xiao Mao is now. After paddling for a while, I felt that this was not a problem, and quickly returned to the shore and found another set of scuba.

I don't have any experience, but I can't sit back and take a look, no matter what.

I hesitated before getting ready to get into the water. If Xiao Mao encounters any danger in the water, then I will definitely not escape if I go down, I don't think my comprehensive strength is stronger than Xiao Mao. However, the hesitation in my heart was only for a short moment, and it disappeared immediately.

I went into the water from the shore, and even though it was already May, the temperature plummeted after the sun had set, and the lake was bitterly cold. I didn't know how to adjust the diving lead of the scuba at all, and I was in a hurry for a while, and when I really went underwater, I realized that the underwater situation was the same as what Xiao Mao said, the lake was too muddy, and the diving light didn't work very well.

I don't know how to dive to a deeper place, and what's worse is that these scuba and supporting equipment have been too long, and there may be a problem with the diving lamp, and it won't light up directly. Under the dark water, it was difficult to move an inch, and I had no choice but to float up.

I found a waterproof flashlight to replace the diving lamp and re-entered the water. All I could see was the murky water that seemed to be endless, and there was nothing else in sight but water.

After searching for an hour on and off at the water's edge, I was completely desperate, it was absolutely impossible for Xiao Mao's scuba to last so long underwater.

I didn't stop looking, and at this time, I wanted to find Xiao Mao, but I didn't want to find him. I couldn't see him for two hours, and I was afraid that when I did find him, he would be a corpse.

I haven't been able to find him, at least I still have a trace of fantasy in my heart, fantasizing that Xiaomao is still alive.

In vain I went back and forth between the shore and the water, from the setting of the sun to the fall of night. In the end, all the methods that could be thought of were used, but the water was no better than the land, the methods were limited, and they were useless.

At ten o'clock in the night, Xiao Mao was still nowhere to be seen, I don't know if the lake was too cold, and after I stayed on the shore for a while, I felt that my nose had been runny, and my head was slightly dizzy.

I didn't take it seriously, and tossed for another hour, becoming more and more unable to support it, and feeling a little high body temperature. I rarely have a minor illness such as a cold or fever, but when I do, it becomes overwhelming. Wet all over, when the night wind blows, it's like falling into an ice cellar.

I had no choice but to climb ashore, get some solid alcohol and hay, light a fire, and dry my clothes and hair. After the clothes and hair were dry, I felt dizzy as if I couldn't stand up, and my eyelids kept fighting.

I lay down by the fire with a blanket over my blanket and said to myself, "I'll rest for ten minutes." But as soon as I lay down, I couldn't control it at all. I felt cold all over my body, but my forehead was terrifyingly hot.

The illness came very suddenly, and very quickly, and I couldn't open my eyes, but I didn't fall asleep, as if the clouds were driving through the fog, and the sky and the earth were all turning together. The sudden rise in body temperature burned my brain, and I was confused, although I didn't really fall asleep, but the chaotic scenes in my mind came out one after another.

I seem to have seen a lot of people passing by in front of me, and the background is constantly changing, from the desert Gobi to the busy city. People who know each other and those who don't know each other are flashing around like a horse.

I don't know how I survived, in a drowsy state, it seemed that even consciousness was slowly losing consciousness, and by the time I woke up again, it was already dawn.

My head is still as full of paste, extremely drowsy, the fire around me has long been extinguished, and when I wake up, the first thought is still to remember whether Xiao Mao has come back.

However, as soon as this idea appeared, it was rejected by himself. Xiao Mao definitely didn't come back, and if he came back, he wouldn't have looked at me.

I struggled to stand up, top-heavy and in poor spirits. However, when I tried to open my eyes and look at the lake not far away, my gaze froze.

The lake, which was sparkling the day before, has disappeared without a trace at this moment. As far as the eye can see, there is no more water.

I hesitated, thousands of square meters of water, and not a person, if you don't see it, it's gone?

I bothered myself and walked forward for a while, until I was closer. I realized that it wasn't that Ta'er Lake was gone, but that the water level in the lake had dropped a lot overnight. The water is already muddy, and when the water level drops, there is some remnants of the lake that looks like muddy soup.

I don't know how so much water disappeared, but when the water level dropped, it was easier to look for something in the lake than before. My body was very uncomfortable, but when I thought of Xiao Mao, I had to drag my tired body and walk forward again.

Most of the bottom of the lake has been exposed by the drop in water levels, and only the lowest part of the lake is still water. There is a lot of sand at the bottom of the lake, and you can't see anything at a glance. I searched with all my might, and I looked at it for a long time, but I didn't see Xiao Mao.

My forehead was hot, but my heart seemed to be cold, and my eyes involuntarily projected to the center of the lake. Xiao Mao can't be found anywhere, so the only possibility is that Xiao Mao is still in the middle of the lake.

I walked slowly around the middle of the lake with my wet sand, and I was still afraid that I would suddenly see a small hairy body in a certain place. In this ambivalence, I walked again and again, walked most of the circle, and the last glimmer of hope was dashed.

I think Xiao Mao may be in the middle of the lake that has not completely disappeared, and I have to get him out, even if he is really dead, I can't leave him here.

I couldn't support my physical strength, so I slowed down and walked towards the camp, wanting to rest for a while to recover my strength, and then go to the bottom of the water in the middle of the lake, try to find Xiao Mao, and get his body up.

But halfway through, my head suddenly dizzy, and my steps staggered, as if I was drunk, and I almost fell crookedly. Before I could stabilize myself, my left foot suddenly emptied, and I stepped through a piece of wet river sand, and my whole leg sank.

Crash......

Immediately after, the seemingly flat river sand suddenly collapsed, and after the river sand collapsed, I found a wide gap in the slope of the slope of the sloping lake bottom.

The gap is long, blocked by river sand, and is estimated to be two meters wide. I could hear the faint sound of running water, which was relatively fast, indicating that there must be a very fast dark river not far away.

Xiao Mao has said before that the water of Ta'er Lake rises and falls irregularly, there is water in a few years, it may be gone in a few years, and it may be there again in a few years, which is probably because Ta'er Lake and the underground water system are connected, and the underground water system determines the amount of water in the lake.

At this moment, I probably understood, and the lake water flowed down this gap. Once the lake dries up, it may have to last for a long time, waiting for the groundwater to replenish before the amount of water can recover.

But I think it's unlikely, the dark river water of the underground water system will never deviate from the laws of physics and pour back from low to high.

Behind the gap, there was a black rumbling, and I couldn't see anything for the time being, so I took out my flashlight and shone it inside. Immediately after this photo, I saw a very wide canal.

The canal extends from under the crevice, and is made of large, flat stones. This aqueduct bears obvious traces of man-made, and the forces of nature would never have been able to construct such a neat drainage.

It was clear that the water that flowed from the lake into the crevices was all flowing down the canal to other places.

I began to get excited in my heart, not only because I found some unimaginable traces of man-made, but also because there is a lot of space behind the gap, and with this space, Xiao Mao has the possibility of being alive.

I shook my head, and my already exhausted body came out of nowhere, and I ran back to the camp, packed some things, put them in my backpack, and ran back to the edge of the gap. I don't know how long I can last, but whether Xiaomao is still alive or not is what I am most concerned about at the moment, and even if I feel uncomfortable, I can't stop looking.

I watched before the crack for a while, but I couldn't hear anything other than the sound of running water. I walked through the gap, and I walked straight into the canal. This canal is like a bridge, walking slowly along the canal, the sound of flowing water is getting louder and louder, the canal is slightly tilted, stretching for about 20 meters, and when the distance of 20 meters is finished, the scene reflected by the light makes me feel a little jaw-dropping.

I've seen some monuments, and I've browsed some ancient architectural marvels from books and online information that have been passed down many years ago. Although the scene in front of you is not as magnificent as the Great Wall and the Qin Terracotta Warriors, but just in terms of the level of science and technology and creativity, those things in front of the canal are simply beyond the black technology of that era, which is breathtaking.
