Chapter 200: One of the Four Missing

I thought to myself, why don't there be more of these seawaters, so that I can float a little more. This can't go up or down, which makes people extremely depressed.

Something worse happened, and suddenly there was a muffled "grunt" sound out of nowhere, and then I saw a large number of bubbles starting to rise not far away.

I pondered it and immediately understood that the water pressure in the cave was so great that it cracked the bottom of the cave beneath my feet. Now the seawater here is leaking to the lower layer.

Immediately after the "gurgling" sound, a large hole leaked from the bottom of the hole, and the sea water was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and I could even feel a suction force under my feet, and it was estimated that it would not be long before all the sea water in my layer would leak out.

At that time, this distance is more than three meters out of thin air, and I don't even want to go up without a rope. And in my memory, An Beimo and I don't have ropes. Originally, I had a mountaineering rope in my backpack, but unfortunately the backpack had been thrown away by An Beimo in the previous water.

I knew that An Beimo was frantically trying to figure out a way above, so the situation was so urgent, and I couldn't bear to urge her.

At this moment, the light above his head shone down, and he saw a long black rope being thrown down. An Beimo said: "Hurry up, I'll pull you up." ”

I hurriedly stepped on the water and raised my hand to reach the long rope, but because the long rope was shaking, my fingertips touched it, but I couldn't catch it.

This rope allowed me to reach it, and when I tried to catch it the second time, the water level dropped so quickly that I didn't even touch it.

I took a deep breath, dived into the water, crouched down in the water, concentrated all my strength on my legs, and was about to jump with all my might, when suddenly my feet suddenly sank. I screamed that it was not good, and it seemed that the ground under my feet was about to collapse.

The terrain here resembles a beehive, and the thickness of the rock barrier between each cave is not large, and people do not see anything standing on it. But add so many tons of seawater, and it's different.

I knew that if I put a force under my feet, the bottom of the hole below would collapse. I only have one chance, otherwise I will follow the sea water and fall to the next floor, and then I am afraid it will not be so easy to think about it again.

So I concentrated, looked up, raised my arms, put my hands together, and suddenly jumped up like a diving motion.

At the same time as I jumped, the rock under my feet trembled and I fell straight down. I came out of the water like an arrow, and grabbed the rope when I saw it.

There was a lot of resistance in the water jump, but it helped me a little, and my arms were a few inches longer than before, barely reaching the rope.

I held it in my hand, but I only held it halfway. I pulled upwards with all my might, grabbed up with my other hand, and finally grasped it firmly. The long rope tugged at my weight, and let out a palpitating tightening sound.

An Beimo completely carried my weight with her arms on it, and she pulled up inch by inch with great difficulty. There is no place to borrow force under my feet, so I can only try to stay still and not shake, so as not to cause additional weight burden to An Beimo.

Fortunately, the distance was not far, and as I approached the entrance of the cave, I reached out and grabbed the edge of the hole, supported my body with one arm, and then let go of the rope and hung it with both hands, and I was able to hold it up with all my might.

As soon as I went up, I saw An Beimo sitting on the ground, panting and sweating profusely. I immediately apologized and thanked her again and again. An Beimo glared at me, pointed to the long rope and said to me, "Untie the rope!" ”

I said, "Leave it to me, I'll put it away, and I might need it later." ”

An Beimo said: "No, my belt and gun belt are on it!" ”

The two of us took a break before we got up to take a look at our surroundings.

This place is different from the cave below, the space is much larger, and it stretches endlessly on both sides. The visible place is full of jagged stone pillars.

An Beimo used a flashlight to shine on both sides, and found that he couldn't see the edge. The air here is very humid, it's like entering a sauna, and I don't know what it is.

The surrounding ground is uneven, and large areas of water can be seen everywhere. We are now standing in the middle of a depression, and we guess it is the water that has just flowed down from here.

An Beimo and I joked that fortunately this place is not full of seawater, otherwise even if we swam up, we would have drowned.

When I looked up, I saw that the top was four or five meters high from us, and the potholes were all small holes. It looks like it's long and deep, and I don't know if it's leading to the outside.

I was about to pick a direction to move forward, when suddenly there was a sound of "zi-la-la" electricity in my headset, but I didn't expect a finger to keep silent short-frequency communication equipment to react at this time.

An Beimo also heard it, and the two of us immediately stopped to identify the source of the signal. But after listening to it for a long time, there was no other sound except for the murmur.

I pressed the call button again and again and shouted, "Can anyone hear me?" I'm Black Hawk. Can anyone hear me? ”

I shouted three or four times, but no one answered. An Beimo shook her head slightly at me at this time, and she didn't respond there.

But this is a good phenomenon, at least An Beimo and I know that we are not far from the ground now, and the next thing is to find the way up.

I asked An Beimo to stand still, and walked in a circle with a radius of five meters centered on her. During this process, I always carefully distinguish the frequency of the fluctuation of the current murmur in the headset. In the end, I chose the direction with the biggest change in noise, and walked towards that side with An Beimo.

With this short-frequency call device, the closer you are, the clearer the signal. I couldn't tell the difference between east and west, so I chose to go in the direction of the source, maybe so that I could find my lost teammates.

An Beimo and I didn't walk very fast, and we kept checking the top of our heads along the way, although there were many holes, we never found a place that people could pass through.

After walking for half an hour, I suddenly heard something strange. At first, I thought I had misheard, but An Beimo and I stopped at the same time, we looked at each other, and it seemed that she had heard it too.

We both kept quiet and slowly pulled out our pistols. The sound was dense and noisy, not loud, but it sounded numb. We searched around, but couldn't find the source of the sound.

At this time, An Beimo patted me lightly and pointed his finger forward. I looked in the direction she was pointing, and vaguely seemed to be behind a stone pillar in front of me, revealing a shoe.

I was secretly alarmed, I didn't expect there to be other people here.

After a while, the sound faded away, and silence returned. We didn't know why, so we raised our guns and slowly approached the pillar where we had discovered the situation.

If people see too many strange things, they will become numb. When I saw the shoe, I was only momentarily surprised. As I got closer, I gradually saw that the shoe looked like a right-footed tourist shoe.

No one in our group wore these shoes, so they must have been left by the people who came here before.

I was about to look down at the heel of the shoe, when I suddenly realized that there was something else behind the pillar, and I immediately raised my gun.

Under the light of the flashlight, I saw a human skeleton.

We walked around the pillar and got a full view of the human skeleton, a complete human skeleton sitting on a pillar.

There were remnants of clothing on the human bones, but they were so tattered that they could not be seen in their original condition. The bones were covered with remnants of minced flesh and human tissue, but due to the humid air, the residue had turned white and even rotted.

An Beimo and I have no experience in autopsies, so we can only roughly judge that this is a male corpse. Dying here in a seated position means that he was still alive when he entered this place. Judging by the height, the shoe should be his, but we didn't see the other shoe, and we don't know if it was discarded somewhere else.

I searched around and found nothing else. So how did this person come here, and why did he become the way he is, we can't tell.

An Beimo squatted down, approached the corpse, and observed him very carefully.

I asked her what she was looking for, and An Beimo replied: "Since this island was discovered, only the Demon Concubine's people have been here, so this corpse should be one of the four people who disappeared." If you look at the human tissue left on his body, it is obvious that it was eaten by some kind of creature to become like this. ”

I said, "This is the first normal corpse ever found." If he can come here, it means that there must be an exit nearby that can come in. I just want to get out here now, and I don't want to know at all about who gnawed him like this, let alone see him. ”

An Beimo turned his head to look at me and asked curiously, "It's all like this, you still say that the corpse is normal?" It's not like you'd say it, what's wrong with you? ”

I replied, "I'm worried! We've been here for more than a day, but we still don't know anything about the island, not even the slightest clue. As part of our deal with the Demon Princess, we are here to find out and solve the island's secrets. But I'm a little skeptical now that we'll be able to close this deal! ”

An Beimo stared at me with deep eyes for a long time before he asked me, "Did you find anything?" ”

I said, "I have a suspicion that when the Demon Concubine made this deal with us, she probably didn't think we could solve her problems here. ”

An Beimo was silent for a moment and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean, I know that we can't do it, why does she still have to make this deal with us?" ”

I shook my head and said, "That's what I don't understand!" You and I have seen how many dangers there are on this island, and I don't believe that the demon concubine doesn't know at all. Even if we figure out the situation here, I'm afraid we won't be able to solve it. There are too many secrets of the sea, not to mention us, even the demon concubine herself, I'm afraid there is nothing she can do. It's not something someone can fix with money! ”

"And what do you want to do?" An Beimo asked me.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Get out of here, get out of this island, and give up this operation!" ”

An Beimo was stunned for a moment, his lips moved slightly, and he stopped talking.

I knew what she was trying to say, and I said, "The situation here is beyond our control, and there will be casualties if we stay any longer." I'd rather give up than die for someone else. It's a big deal to save Hugo and them, let's go back and find another way. ”

An Beimo said: "Do you suspect that there is a problem with the transaction between the Demon Concubine and us?" ”

I replied, "I have this suspicion, but I'm not sure." And I suspect that the person who took Hugo and Burton may be the Demon Princess! ”
