Chapter 205: Two People Who Can't Lie
An Beimo was also surprised, he didn't expect that the larvae of the horseshoe crab ancestor had evolved to the point where they could pronounce words. Then this horseshoe crab ancestor who has lived for hundreds of millions of years, I don't know if he can speak human words!
The voice of the horseshoe crab larvae became more and more shrill, and I didn't know if it was screaming in pain or crying for help. I was uneasy when I heard it, and I was about to make up another shot, but I heard An Beimo's gun go off first, and the crisp and loud gunfire drifted away like a shock wave. The powerful power of the sniper rifle bullet directly broke the horseshoe crab larvae in two.
After a long echo of the gunshots, the surroundings fell silent again. The carcass of the horseshoe crab larvae twitched a few times, and a large amount of blue blood flowed out, and then it did not move.
The threat seemed to be lifted, but I felt more nervous. I could feel some kind of latent chemical change going on in the air around me.
It's not a delusion, I smell impending disaster, a feeling I don't know I've experienced many times.
There was a "bang" sound, and the bolt of Anbei Mora loosened the gun chamber, and the golden bullet casing, which was still emitting white smoke, drew an arc and fell to the ground.
The atmosphere is getting more and more wrong, and in a hurry, I picked up An Beimo and ran.
In the stomach of the horseshoe crab ancestor beat its cub in half, this revenge of killing the son, how can the horseshoe crab ancestor give up? It seems that this time we are in trouble again.
Sure enough, we didn't run far, and the mountains shook under our feet, and An Beimo and I shook left and right at the same time, and even fell to the ground and rolled back and forth.
It is estimated that this is because the horseshoe crab ancestor noticed that the cub was dead and launched a madness.
I was shaken and dizzy, but I never let go of An Beimo's hand. Luckily, the two of us were involved in each other, otherwise one of us would not have been able to control it and would have fallen into the pile of horseshoe crab eggs.
After a long time, the shaking slowed down a little, but it still made people unable to stand up. At this time, I heard a loud sound of water, and a large amount of seawater began to pour in from all directions.
I scolded, Horseshoe Crab Ancestor's trick is too ruthless, it is sucking seawater into the body, if it is flooded here, it will be useless for An Beimo and I to run wherever we go.
It didn't take long for the pile of horseshoe crab eggs on the lower ground to be submerged and our feet covered. The water was still rising at a visible rate, and I was so anxious to look around, but it was flat, and there was not even a high place.
Even so, I don't want to sit still. I grabbed An Beimo, waded through the water and continued to run forward, I wanted to try to run to the edge, find a wall to climb up, and delay for a while.
But it backfired, and before we had run two hundred meters, the water was already above our knees. It is estimated that within two or three minutes, An Beimo and I will be swallowed by the sea.
It was useless to run again, I took off my backpack, took out a small oxygen cylinder from it, stuffed it to An Beimo, and shouted to her at the same time: "If this place is completely flooded in a while, you can dive underwater and find an exit." Seeing that the sea is coming in so quickly, there should be somewhere to get out. ”
When An Beimo heard that I only told her to find the exit, he immediately asked, "What about you?" ”
I glanced at the oxygen cylinder and said with a wry smile: "This is an emergency oxygen cylinder, which can be used in water for up to ten minutes." You go find the way, and I'll figure it out. ”
An Beimo grabbed me by the collar and said angrily, "What do you mean? Do you think it's a lot of personality? Tell you, if you want to go together, I won't admit your affection if you come with me! ”
By this time the water was up to our waists, and the cold water made me feel excited.
I saw An Beimo's face full of anger, and I couldn't help but sigh with emotion in my heart, and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that." Otherwise, you can dive with it now and see where the sea is sucked in and if it can be used as an outlet for us to get out. I'll hold out for a while until the sea fills up, and come to me when you find the exit. ”
An Beimo refused: "Let's look for it together, and if we find it, we will leave together, you don't want to leave me alone." ”
I hurriedly said, "Sister Goddess! Why are you confused? Now that the sea water is pouring into this place, there must be a huge water rush at the exit, and I can't get out of it. Only when the water is full will the momentum disappear, and then it will be time to go out. "Such an obvious thing, An Beimo didn't expect it.
An Beimo stared at me for a long time, with a cold face and a sharp gaze, which made my heart furious. At my urging again, she said, "That's good! You're waiting for me here, and I'll come back to you as soon as I find my way out. ”
I replied seriously: "Don't worry, I'll wait for you here, and I'll not go anywhere." ”
The sea water was already flooded to his chest, An Beimo didn't delay any longer, put on his goggles, opened the oxygen cylinder and stuffed it into his mouth, dived into the water, and swam to a low place.
After An Beimo's figure disappeared in the water, I felt a sense of loss in my heart, as if I would never see her again after this separation.
Ten minutes is very urgent, that bottle of oxygen, I don't know if it is enough An Beimo can successfully find the exit and escape. If she's lucky, there's a silver lining to her.
The speed of seawater filling is even faster than I expected, and when An Beimo finds her way out, it is estimated that the oxygen in the bottle will not allow her to come back to me again.
Looking at the rising water, it is estimated that it will take less than two minutes to reach the top. And I held my breath in the water for two minutes at most. If I couldn't find another way to survive, it might be my last four minutes.
I can expect this result, and I think An Beimo will definitely understand by then. How to choose, I believe she knows in her heart.
The water was now topless, so I stepped on the water, roughly discerned the direction, and swam forward. Instead of waiting to die, try your luck elsewhere.
"Where do you want to go?" A cold voice sounded behind me, startling me.
As soon as I turned around, I saw An Beimo's wet head coming out of the water, glaring at me angrily, and I asked, "Why are you back?" ”
An Beimo didn't answer my question, but said coldly: "I knew that you didn't have a good idea, I just left, did you forget what you promised me?" ”
I was also a little anxious, but I didn't expect that at this time, An Beimo, who has always been calm and rational, would actually become willful. I said angrily, "You hurry up and let me go, find an exit and get out of here." I have my own way, you don't have to worry about it. Let's go, I don't have time to fight with you here! ”
Maybe it's the first time I've talked to her so angrily, An Beimo was obviously stunned for a moment. Then she sneered and said, "What? Beginning to reveal your true nature? ”
I still yelled unceremoniously: "My temper is already bad, especially when I meet disobedient women." Let's go! Don't waste your time here, you won't miss your chance to escape if you delay any longer! As I spoke, I looked up and saw that the water was almost at its peak.
Who knew that An Beimo's face suddenly changed, and he actually laughed. My heart trembled, "What are you laughing at?" I asked weakly.
"You don't have a talent for deception at all!" An Beimo smiled and said, "What do you think I was doing when I dived just now?" A sucker! Don't talk nonsense, come with me, I'll find a way to get out now. ”
I was shocked and said in disbelief, "You didn't lie to me?" What's the solution? ”
An Beimo's face turned straight and replied: "I'm not good at lying!" Come with me, and you'll know in a moment. ”
The two of us took a deep breath and dived together, I followed An Beimo, fell half of her body, and saw An Beimo swimming towards the group of horseshoe crabs below.
The visibility in the water was okay, and I looked around with a flashlight, and suddenly I noticed that there were fewer horseshoe crab eggs than before. I wondered if another horseshoe crab larvae had broken their eggs?
After swimming some distance, I felt like I was running out of breath. After taking a sip of the oxygen cylinder at this time, An Beimo handed it to me with his backhand.
I took it and took a light breath, thinking that if two people use a bottle of oxygen, the support time will be shorter, and I hope that An Beimo really found a way out, otherwise it won't take a few minutes, and this bit of oxygen will run out.
At this time, An Beimo stopped above a piece of horseshoe crab eggs and pointed at the horseshoe crab eggs below. When I saw it, I was shocked to see that almost every one of the horseshoe crab eggs below had a formed horseshoe crab larva curled up. Roughly counting, there are at least a dozen of them.
When I saw these insects, I felt uncomfortable, and I couldn't understand what An Beimo had brought me here for. I asked An Beimo with a gesture, and An Beimo only said that I should look at the horseshoe crab eggs below, and I would understand after a while.
After about half a minute, I suddenly felt something change in the water, and there was an undercurrent surging nearby. I hurriedly paddled to control my body and not be taken away, but I didn't know what was going on.
At this moment, I saw that the horseshoe crab eggs under my feet actually moved, as if some force was pushing them.
I looked at the horseshoe crab eggs strangely, and saw that they were sinking towards a point like quicksand. The undercurrent creates a whirlwind funnel, and the center of the funnel is where the LAL eggs sink most obviously.
But soon I understood what was going on below, under these horseshoe crab eggs, there was a large open mouth of the horseshoe crab ancestor, and the horseshoe crab eggs were being thrown out of the horseshoe crab ancestor one by one.
It turns out that the horseshoe crab is ovulating!
This is what An Beimo said, and I am very happy. Only then did I understand why this place was filled with seawater, and it seems that we were just in time for the horseshoe crab to sow seeds.
Knowing what was going on, An Beimo and I began to plan the way out in sign language. We want to get out of the horseshoe crab's ovulation port without any problem, but we have to face a difficulty, that is, how not to be hit by other horseshoe crab eggs.
These LAL eggs are large and contain a liquid that is supposed to be nutrients for the larvae, and the weight of the liquid is apparently much greater than the buoyancy of the seawater. Look at them floating in the water like a big jelly, and their own weight must not be underestimated.
Especially when so many horseshoe crab eggs are piled up together, rolling back and forth, and when we get close to the past, we are smashed underneath by the rolling horseshoe crab eggs.
In the water, An Beimo and I moved slowly, but not as fast as these big water balloons.
Time didn't allow us to hesitate too much, and after a simple agreement with An Beimo, I took another breath of oxygen, pulled out the dagger that I carried with me, and at the same time swam towards the horseshoe crab egg closest to the mouth of the horseshoe crab ancestor.
After getting closer, I found that the power of the undercurrent increased, and An Beimo and I had to keep paddling to barely control our bodies and not be swept away by the undercurrent. The constant movement of the body invisibly reduces the time we hold our breath.
Hiding behind a slippery horseshoe crab egg, we followed it little by little. Other huge horseshoe crab eggs were tumbling from a great height and falling all around us.
