The speed of the minecart sliding on the track is getting faster and faster, because the direction of the mine is getting more and more oblique, and the speed has made me wonder how many degrees the slope of the mine is, I only feel that it should be close to 90 degrees, right?

For me, who has a fear of heights, it was a kind of torture, although it was not painful, but it was on the verge of madness, as the speed of the minecart increased, all I heard was the sound of the whirring wind, and beyond that, there were screams, the screams of the black boy and the fat man were the most obvious, but the screams of the two of them were completely in a state of excitement.

I kept clinging to the side of the minecart, for fear of being thrown out, and the dead fat man around me didn't know the fear of people with acrophobia about this kind of rappelling, so he pushed me next to me, "Wang!" What are you? Hi up. ”

At this moment, if I didn't have dizziness, I had to give him two feet, the minecart slid for about seven or eight seconds, the speed is getting faster and faster, because the mine is getting steeper and steeper, I obviously feel that the strong wind blowing in front of me can't open my eyes, and there are curves on the way, this back and forth, almost didn't give the master I went crazy, but the fat man and the black boy are the two heartless and lungless with the drug, it is getting more and more high, until the ghost suddenly exclaimed, "It's broken, the brake lever is out of order." The screams of both of them changed from excitement to nervousness.

The minecart slid for more than dozens of seconds, and suddenly flew up, and I instantly felt weightless, it turned out that the railroad track was broken for some reason, and the minecart perfectly drew a parabola in the air with the panicked screams of everyone, and then plopped and smashed into a pool of water. In the water, I immediately came to life, shook off my limbs and went upstream, during which I could feel that the water was flowing, and I guess the pool we fell into should be an underground river.

After going ashore and making sure that everyone was safe, I sighed, and as soon as I turned over, I waved it out in big letters, and smiled bitterly twice for the rest of my life, thinking that this is really a great blessing, but just now the extreme roller coaster of more than ten seconds can give me a toss as if I have been in a world for a long time, and I still feel a little frightened. Before everyone could react to the stimulus of the slide, Black Box said as if he had taken a stimulant*, "It's too exciting, don't you think?" ”

I said it, he has always been like this, the reason why he was afraid of the previous time in Quanzhou was because of the work that restrained him, like him, a young man who graduated from high school and had a body of martial arts, it was not easy to find a promising job in the current era of economic talk, but now he has been living in peace with the fat man, naturally like a wild horse, no! It was supposed to be a neurotic discharged from the hospital, and it was out of control.

When everyone was resting in the rock formations by the pool, Professor Ouyang had already begun to check the surrounding environment, and I couldn't be idle, so I lit a cigarette and began to use a wolf's eye flashlight to look around. There was also a man-made building on the side of the undercurrent, and I went to check it out with Professor Ouyang, accompanied by the ghost and the fat man. The building is a temporary elevator, and the top of the elevator is hidden in the dark, but this modern product that is incompatible with the cave should be Guo Feng's masterpiece back then.

The ghost opened the gate of the elevator to check, and he was a special soldier with a good job in reconnaissance, so he soon found out that the elevator had just been used.

The fat man asked the ghost curiously how he knew, and the ghost flashed a flashlight and shone on the pulley and steel cable of the elevator, and said, "There is a layer of ash in every place of this elevator, but there is no ash on the pulley and the steel cable, and there is a slight residual temperature. ”

Who will come to this hellish place? I think it's Harr, so what did he do when he came down to the underground mines? Is it just because the exit from the lab above is blocked, so come down to find the exit? I guess it's not that simple, I told the fat man, the ghost, and Professor Ouyang what I thought.

All of them are minerals here, and there are some strange stones and diamonds that have been mined around, but they have not been transported away, so it can be seen that Guo Feng and they did not open the mining cave for gold and silver treasures, but must have another purpose. After the discussion of the four of us, we felt that the greatest possibility should be to find the legendary Nuwa Stone, because the reason why their experiment failed was because of the lack of Nuwa Stone.

At this point, the fat man couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then do you say that Guo Feng has found Nuwa Stone?" ”

I said, "Probably not, or Hal wouldn't have bothered to come back to this underground lab, let alone come down to this mine." Speaking of this, I hesitated for a moment and then continued, "Presumably, Ha'er came down to this cave to continue looking for the Nuwa Stone, it seems that we must move faster, and we can't let Ha'er get there first, otherwise I don't know what moth he will come up with." ”

Back in the team, everyone eased up, I told everyone about the next action, the plan is to continue to go deep underground along the dark river, but there began to be opposition among the crowd, Xiaoying and Xueli felt that we should find an exit to leave this ghost place, and should not continue to entangle with H'er, their reason is that this underground mine does not know what danger awaits everyone, there is no need to take risks, as for H'er, let him fend for himself here.

Naturally, I was against this point of view, so I said, "Looking for Har is also looking for an exit, the laboratory on the mine is naturally unable to get out, and now the only exit is naturally to follow the direction of the flow of the dark river, and if the dark river is flowing, there will naturally be an exit." ”

Officer Wei disagreed with me, saying, "Wu Nian! Theoretically, your point of view is correct, but this dark river is downward*, if you follow the dark river, it will only go deeper and deeper, which is contrary to the direction of returning to the ground, which is too risky. ”

Originally, the attitude of the team was not uniform, everyone wanted to live, and there were few people who supported my point of view, and now as soon as Officer Wei's words came out, it was a two-level division, some supported Officer Wei, and some supported me, and the two sides disagreed, so let Professor Ouyang decide, because most people think that Professor Ouyang is an old seniority, the most experienced, and should listen to him, and as for me, in their opinion, it is a young man who knows a little Feng Shui, twenty or five, not enough to lead everyone, After all, this is a dozen or so human lives, how can it be child's play?

But the current situation makes Professor Ouyang also in a dilemma, although he is highly qualified and experienced, but only in archaeology, he is in a dilemma and said, "I am also difficult to decide, although I have been archaeological for most of my life, but it has always been carried out under the condition of sufficient anti-aid team, and I will never go deep underground under the condition of insufficient preparation, so I have not experienced the current difficult situation, but I believe Wu Nian, although I was not optimistic about him at the beginning, but after the previous few times we escaped death, I think that although Wu Nian is young and not very popular, he is resourceful and not chaotic in the face of danger, so everyone still believes in him. ”

Although some people still have some concerns, Professor Ouyang said this, and everyone naturally listened.

We walked down the dark river for a while, the original sparse sound of running water in our ears became louder and louder as we walked down, turning into a crackling water hammer, and after walking for a while, there was a rock wall at the end of the flashlight pillar, there was no way out, and immediately the crowd began to talk about it, some people said that it was my misjudgment that brought everyone to a dead end, but no one clearly expressed his position, just whispered behind me.

And I didn't pay attention to these fingers, just squatting by the dark river with the ghost and the fat man, and the three of us shone a flashlight on the dark river, watching where its water disappeared, then Professor Ouyang stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" Did you find anything? ”

The ghost shines a flashlight at a cave at the end of the river and says, "The river flows through that cave, and we can follow the water through that cave." ”

Professor Ouyang also took a flashlight and looked at the cave, and then said, "The width of the cave is enough for us to pass through, but I don't know how deep this dark river is, will it be dangerous?" ”

"Just look into the depths and you'll know." As I spoke, I folded a glow stick and threw it into the flowing undercurrent, the ghost had been in the artillery company for a while before serving as a sniper in the army, so it was better than us in measuring distance and depth with the naked eye, and as soon as the glow stick reached the bottom of the river, the ghost could see that the river was about knee-deep, which was deep enough for a person to lie flat through the cave.

Because the water is particularly turbulent, and the sound of the water obviously hitting the stones, if people go down one after another, I am afraid that there will be accidents, and there is no response, so the ghost proposes to tie everyone with a climbing rope, but they can't all be tied together, so they are divided into two people, and go down in groups, so that there is a good response.

When everything was ready, the officer said to me in a warning tone, "Wu Nian! I hope your judgment and decision are correct, these are eleven human lives, and if there is a slight mistake, you are responsible. After finishing speaking, he went down to the dark river with the fat man as a group.

Black Boy is alone, in addition to the number of people can't get together, there is also because he is too hilarious character no one dares to be in a group with him, Black Box with his hand to support the cave of the dark river, ready to enter the cave I shouted to him, tell him to be careful, I don't know what the specific situation is below.

Black Boy suddenly responded: "Don't worry! Brother, believe in you, I will open the way for you first. So saying, he lay back as light as a swallow, and flowed down the rushing river into the cave, followed by his exorbitant scream, but soon the screams of the black boy were swallowed up by the sound of boiling water.

The others followed the river into the cave one by two, and the guard kept complaining "crazy!" before entering. This is really crazy, everyone is crazy with Wu Nian. ”

In the end, when Xiaoying and I were left, Xiaoying was trembling all the time and didn't dare to go down, so I took her hand and said, "Yingzi!" Don't be afraid! Trust me, okay? ”

"I ...... Can I trust you? Ang Nian Ge! Xiaoying's voice was still full of fear and timidity.

Xiaoying was surprised at first when she said such a thing, but when I think about it, I understand, after all, she is just a student who has not yet left the campus, and it is the first time that she has experienced this kind of thing that she thinks will cost her life at any time.

I held Xiaoying's slightly trembling shoulders with both hands, and said in a firm tone, "Look at me!" Xiaoying, you must choose to believe me, this is not the first time I have encountered such a place, and you must be brave yourself. The professor is right! Fear is your biggest obstacle, as long as you are strong inside, you have nothing to fear. ”

It took me a lot of talk, Xiao Ying bravely made a choice, after entering the cave and it was almost as I imagined, the cave was curved, and there were a lot of rocks protruding from the water surface, fortunately, the water in the cave was not deep, we could expose our heads to breathe, Xiao Ying was in front of me, I could see her very clearly through the light pillar of the water flashlight, we glided along the turbulent river flow for about seven or eight meters before coming out of the cave, I glanced around a little, the terrain here is much more spacious, and the slope of the water flow is getting more and more oblique, The water flow is more turbulent, the rocks protruding from the water surface have also increased significantly, and there are a few twists and turns, Xiaoying because of fear, did not adjust the position when passing through a bend, her feet directly hit the rocks protruding from the water surface, she screamed in pain, her feet stuck in the stone cracks, I followed the turbulent river past her, I wanted to reach out to help her, but the speed of the water was too violent, so I didn't have time to help her, and I was directly swept away by the current, The climbing rope on my body pulled Xiaoying who was stuck in the stone crevice under the impact of the current, Xiaoying's body was oblique under the traction of the climbing rope, and her feet were stuck in the stone crevice, which made her painfully salty "Ang Niange!" The rope on your body hurts me. ”

The climbing rope tied to us pulled the two of us, I saw that it was not a way to go down like this, I was worried that Xiaoying's feet would be injured, after all, the water flow was so turbulent, and my weight was not light, in a hurry, I immediately pulled out the Qiankun knife from my waist, waved a knife, and cut the climbing rope on our bodies, I wanted to cut the climbing rope to alleviate Xiaoying's pain, and then find a way to go up to save her, I didn't want the climbing rope to break I haven't made the next move, and I was directly washed away by the turbulent river, In addition to the fierce sound of running water, Xiaoying's panicked cry for help told me not to leave her, I was taken away by the river, while shouting Xiaoying's name at the top of my voice, I was extremely anxious, but the turbulence of the water made me powerless, only "go with the flow", let the river wash away.

After I let the water flow out of the cave, the whole person suddenly felt weightless, and looked at it, it turned out that there was a waterfall outside the cave, and I fell into an unfathomable pool along the waterfall, and when I got out of the waterhole, I saw a cold light suddenly flashing not far from the shore, it turned out that the fat man lit a cold smoke and shook me, and I swam to the fat man by relying on the light of the cold fireworks.

When I went ashore, I found that there were only fat people and Dachangtong, and there was no one else, and I didn't bother to check whether I was injured or not, so I asked, "Fatty!" What about the others? How can it be just the two of you. "After all, I chose to take this path, and if anyone is killed, I will not be at ease.

The fat man saw my emotions and comforted me, "Wang! Don't worry, the others have been taken downstream by the Dark River, and the ghost and Blackboy and Lan Xin have gone down to save people, and we will stay and wait for you. As the fat man spoke, he found that Xiaoying was missing, and asked me where she went.

I was secretly anxious, looked in the direction of the upper reaches of the waterfall, and said, "She's stuck in the cave, fatty!" Looks like we're both going to go up for a trip. As I said that, I was about to go back, but the fat man stopped me.

Because I was worried about Xiaoying's safety, I got angry at the fat man, "Fatty! It's important to save people, if you're afraid I'll go by myself. ”

When the fat man heard me say this, he was emotional, and pushed me, "What are you talking about?" Am I a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? It's just that it's impossible to go back the way you came, can't you see how fierce the waterfall is? There was no way we could climb up from the bottom of the waterfall. ”

The fat man's words made me come back to my senses, and I suddenly felt numb, thinking that Xiaoying was going to be stuck in the cave and never be able to get out? If this is the case, how can I have the face to see Professor Ouyang, and how can I feel at ease?

Just when I was at a loss, there was a sudden "Ah! A long cry was followed by a plop, and a figure was seen being washed into the waterhole by the waterfall.
