Chapter 139: Floating Corpses in the Deep Pool
In order to save batteries, we turned off the redundant lighting equipment, the small boat composed of airbags, there is a searchlight in the front and rear, the light pillar hits straight into the water, can illuminate the range of more than ten meters, but the left and right sides are pitch black, except for the sound of the "whooshing" paddling, there is a dead silence in the deep pool, which makes people not feel the slightest anger.
The water paddled for a long time, we have not crossed half the distance of the pool, this pool across the two banks, the range is very large, three or four hundred meters deep, forming an independent "long river", the light shines on the dark and heavy water surface, I poked my head out several times, looked into the water and looked again, but it was bottomless, except for a black reflection in the pool water, there was nothing else, as if it went straight to the underground abyss.
Being on top of the airbag gave me the illusion that the group was completely floating above the abyss, and in that endless dark corner, there was a huge eye, watching us closely, moving slowly as we went.
I found myself a bit claustrophobic, constantly looking around while paddling for fear that something would burst out of the shadows.
After a few hours, we gradually approached the center of the deep pool, where it was pitch black on all sides, Chen Yun reminded us to be careful, there are countless stalactites interspersed and sitting under the surface of the deep pool, the wolf teeth are staggered, the edges and corners are very sharp, our airbags may not be able to withstand the cutting of the stone edges, when the airbags are punctured, everyone has to go into the water to feed the fish.
Ge Zhuang smiled, "Big sister, how can there be a fish that can eat people under this deep pool?" ”
As soon as this fat guy spoke, I was anxious to scold my mother, I must know that Ge Zhuang had caused countless disasters for us with a stinky mouth that had opened the light, but before I could say the words of scolding my mother, I heard a "bang" from behind my buttocks.
This movement was extremely loud, scaring everyone into a tremble, Ge Zhuang knew that he was speechless, and quickly covered his mouth with his hands, after glaring at him fiercely, I shifted my gaze to the rear, and saw an air bag hanging at the back, presumably to scratch the edges and corners of the stalactite, and there was a muffled sound from the breaking water, and the explosion stirred up a splash, and even the searchlight tied to it sank underwater.
The searchlight is a waterproof device, although all are not under water, but the fire is not extinguished, still seeps out a straight light, shining on the dark and heavy pool water on the surface, under the action of gravity, the searchlight sank into the water little by little, we lay on the edge of the inflatable bag to watch, watching the searchlight that emits this strong light slowly sinking into the water, the light shuttles in the dark, gradually submerged by the pool water, has sunk to the end of the sight, actually did not stop sinking trend, the light source gradually became a small point, and then annihilated in the line of sight.
Everyone began to draw cold air, and the pool of water was unimaginably deep, as if it was connected to the sea.
Ge Zhuang's face turned pale, and he trembled, and said Little pumpkin, how do I feel that this searchlight can't penetrate the bottom at all, how deep is this water, I'm afraid it's not hundreds of meters deep!
I muttered, "Maybe it's not all, the strong electric light source we carry can illuminate an area of more than 200 meters even underwater......
"Everyone, be careful, don't fall into the water, there is no way to go down to fish in such deep water!" Ge Zhuang wiped his cold sweat and said.
The searchlight behind the airbag fell to the water, and there was only a sticky and dark behind it, although everyone didn't say anything, but no one could adapt to such an environment, so I had to untie the hiking bag and take out a searchlight again. Tried to fix in the back.
When I tied the searchlight, my eyes kept looking down, the dark deep pool of water, reflected brightness under the strong light, like a big mirror, I could even clearly see myself soaked in the pool water frightened reflection, my face was as white as paper paste, two dark circles under the eyes were also hanging on it like ink paintings, my hair was thin, and I was constantly rising and falling under the water......
No, it doesn't seem like my reflection...... How did I look like this?
I was shocked, I sank my ass in shock, fell back into the air bag, Ge Zhuang sat behind me, almost pushed into the pool by me, covered the back of my head and scolded me, "Little pumpkin, why are you so surprised?" ”
"Fat ...... Fatty, there are corpses under the water! My stumbling words focused everyone's eyes on the water.
Everyone turned their heads together, and their shocked eyes were collectively focused on the water, and sure enough, they found that a corpse dressed in white was slowly rising along the surface of the water where I had just tied the searchlight.
The corpse's hair was loose and surprisingly long, not like a modern person's attire, and it was dressed in a white robe, which rose and fell in the deep pool of water, maintaining an ascending posture, and soon appeared on the surface.
"This ...... Could this corpse be 2,000 years ago? Seeing this, we quickly covered his mouth, our eyes widened, and we looked at the undulating corpse with a shocked face, slowly levitating under the strong light, hitting the air bag, and slowly bounced back, floating away along the waterway.
Seeing the white-clothed male corpse drifting away, my heart hanging in my throat slowed down, and I was about to take a long breath, but I noticed that Ge Zhuang's body behind me was trembling slightly, and I looked back at him with curiosity, and was about to ask him why he was shaking his legs? As a result, the scene presented in front of me scared my scalp to crack.
Bubbles are bubbling everywhere in the entire pool, which are the size of a bowl and explode on the surface of the pool, emitting a strong rancid smell that smells particularly bad.
"Quick, put on your breathing mask!" While I was still stunned, Chen Yun had already dismantled the masks one by one and distributed them to us.
Before everyone could put on their masks, more corpses appeared in the area covered by their eyes, floating up from the depths of the pool, and each corpse remained in a flat position, ignoring the flowing water under the air cushion, I felt as if the corpse was floating in the air, white clothes and belts, swirling in the water, floating deep down the pool.
I was so frightened that I forcibly suppressed my heartbeat, and held a searchlight to shine down, and the white light illuminated the stalactites under the water, and a white coral-like stone pillar, overlapping and overlapping, like a jungle in the ocean, in the gaps of the stone pillars, there were constantly corpses floating, hair flying like aquatic plants, faces like purple jade, all floating on the water, dense floating corpses connected together, floating towards the same place as us.
At this time, I felt that the air bag under my buttocks was shaking, the water seemed to be turbulent a little, my face changed greatly, and I hurriedly said to Chen Yun, "Paddle quickly, don't float with these corpses!" ”
Although I didn't know what the meaning of such a corpse floating on the surface of the water at the same time was, my intuition told me that nothing good could happen in front of me, so I subconsciously paddled in the opposite direction, but under this stroke, my heart suddenly tightened, and I found a strange picture that was enough to subvert my cognition.
