Chapter 21: The Swamp

The terrain of the new place that Lu Ming and Meng Da came to this time is very simple, only a dark natural tunnel, and there is no other road to choose from. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two turned on the flashlight, one after the other, and gradually accelerated their trip. After walking for about four or five minutes, they felt that the road was surprisingly smooth except for the muddy, and even Meng Da was complaining that this ordinary difficulty was too easy, Gao Yu and they must have arrived a long time ago.

Suddenly, Lu Mingyi, who was walking in front, stretched out his hand to block Meng Da, who came up from behind, and shouted "below".

Meng Da hurriedly stopped, and looked down carefully with the help of the light of the flashlight, Lu Ming's two calves had fallen into a quagmire, and his figure was still slowly declining.

Swamp! Meng Da reacted in an instant, hurriedly took two steps back, took out the sapper shovel, and handed one to Lu Ming to grab, and Lu Ming also tried his best to lie flat on the ground motionless, letting Meng Da drag him out.

Fortunately, before setting off, they made up some knowledge of survival in the wild, and made the most correct response in an instant, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Because once a person falls into a swamp, remember to stay calm, and the most taboo thing is to keep struggling, because the more you struggle, the faster and deeper you will fall. And if you want to struggle out of the swamp alone, it takes a lot of skill, and it is difficult for ordinary people to do it. In addition, for the rescuer, it is not possible to directly hold or drag the trapped person with his bare hands, otherwise it is likely that the result will be an extra burial object.

Therefore, the simplest and most effective way to release is to lie down as much as possible to increase the contact area between the trapped person and the swamp, like Meng Da and Lu Ming, and the rescuer should first choose a favorable and safe terrain, and then use a strong rope or club-like object to pull the trapped person up.

After a brief moment of shock, the two did not dare to rush forward any longer, but there was not much time left, and if they slowly groped step by step, then only punishment awaited them. In the end, it was Meng Da who came up with a good idea, they pressed close to the cave walls on both sides and marched forward, while the two kept a certain distance and tied them with a rope, so that one person could come to the aid in time when he was in danger. Unexpectedly, this method is very simple and effective, some of the rocks on the cave wall extend directly to the road, and it is very reliable to step on, and even if they accidentally fall into the swamp, not only with the help of their companions, they can also grasp the rock wall and slow down the speed of descent, this discovery also makes their speed can't help but speed up.

Just when they vaguely saw the exit ahead, Meng Da suddenly noticed that there was one on the ground not far in front of him... Head!!!

This seemingly sudden thing startled Meng Da, causing him to hurriedly brake, and Lu Ming, who was not far behind him, also hurriedly stopped and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"Brother Lu, it seems that someone has fallen into the swamp, leaving only a head and neck on it." Meng Da shone it with a flashlight, looked at it carefully, and then replied.

"Approach slowly, be careful." Lu Ming instructed.

As Meng Da continued to approach, they finally saw the person in the swamp clearly, and it turned out to be Liu Ding, the young man who was usually weak and weak. This guy estimated that his chest had been held in the muddy water for a while, and he was already a little out of breath, and when he felt a light sweeping across his face, he immediately shouted in a weak voice: "Help, please, help me!" ”

Meng Da looked at it twice, then turned around and told Lu Ming about the situation, and after a brief discussion, the two decided to save people immediately. They first surveyed the surrounding terrain and, after making sure there were no other swamp spots, began preparations. Lu Ming tied the rope to his waist, and then lay on the ground in parallel, moving towards Liu Ding's position little by little, while Meng Da was pulling him from a distance behind him, and at the same time looking around vigilantly, ready for emergency preparedness at any time. Fortunately, there were two of them, otherwise with the depth and semi-coma that Liu Ding was currently in, it would be difficult for one person to rescue.

Lu Ming gradually approached Liu Ding, then reached down with both hands, grabbed Liu Ding's armpits, and at the same time gently swung his legs twice, Meng Da also hurriedly pulled the rope backwards and pulled the two back. However, what I didn't expect was that Liu Ding, who was originally thin and weak, turned out to be surprisingly heavy, and Meng Da couldn't pull it even with all his strength, and a vague voice came out of Liu Ding's mouth: "Hand... Hand.... ”

Lu Ming was confused when he heard it on the side, and he couldn't understand what he wanted to express, but he didn't hesitate in his hand, after stopping Meng Da from letting him continue to pull, Lu Ming took out another rope prepared on his body and passed it through Liu Ding's armpit, tied him tightly, and then cleaned up after retreating, and pulled the rope with Meng Da.

However, with the strength of the two of them, Liu Ding only moved slowly, and slowly the two of them found that something was wrong, because as Liu Ding's upper body was slowly revealed, they saw that one hand was tightly grasping Liu Ding's chest, and the other hand was holding Liu Ding's arm, and then they saw another head slowly emerging from the swamp, which turned out to be Li Da Fat Man who was in a group with Liu Ding!

At this time, the two finally understood why Liu Ding was so heavy, and kept shouting 'hand' and 'hand'. So they hurriedly increased their strength again, and forced them out of the swamp.

The two rescued people looked a bit like terracotta warriors at this time, Liu Ding's condition was slightly better, he should be a little out of strength, but he was still a little conscious, and he kept saying thank you in his mouth. But Li Da Fat Man's side was a little dangerous, and I don't know how long he was stuffy in the muddy water, his mouth and nose were covered with mud, and his whole face looked a little pale, lying there motionless.

Meng Da hurriedly took out the water in his backpack to clean his mouth and nose, and then started artificial respiration. In general, after a normal person's breathing pauses for 6 minutes, the heart will stop beating, and the whole body function will gradually fall into weakness, and even if it is saved, there may be some permanent damage. But if it's less than 6 minutes, it's still in the golden rescue time, and there is still a lot of hope of survival.

After Meng Da was busy for more than a minute, Li Da Fat finally reacted, and spit out some muddy water from his mouth with a cough, and slowly opened his eyes under the savage wake-up method of Meng Da and Lu Ming who were pinching people and slapping people.

When he saw Meng Da in front of him for the first time, he hugged him fiercely, and then wailed with snot and tears: "My mother-in-law, it scared me to death, this place is full of swamps, we were careful all the way but we still fell into it." I held on to the stone next to me for almost 2 hours, and I really couldn't hold on~ I almost died, but thanks to you, my father~ my mother~ my grandmother! ”

Meng Da, who was hugged by a big man, was a little embarrassed for a while, but it was difficult to refuse. And seeing him crying and shouting as if he wanted to repeat his tragic experience again, Lu Ming on the side hurriedly interrupted: "Can you two go now, there are only 20 minutes left, if you can go, hurry up, or your ears will be gone." Li Da Fat, who was still crying and complaining bitterly, originally wanted to say that he was too weak to rest for a while, but after seeing Lu Ming write out the words just now, he hurriedly closed his mouth, stood up with a 'poof', and hurriedly urged everyone to leave, where is like a person who has just been rescued from the death line.

The four of them followed Lu Ming's method just now, and the rest of the journey was quite smooth, and they walked out of the cave in a few minutes. And even more coincidentally, they actually ran into Shaq who came out of another hole at the same time! Shaq limped and looked a little tired, the wound on his leg seemed to be split again, oozing bright red blood, and it was estimated that he was also in trouble in the cave, but fortunately there were no other abnormalities. And there were two similar holes next to the hole he walked out of, which once again confirmed that Lu Ming's previous guess was correct, everyone was really taken to the same floor by the fish-faced elevator, but they just entered different passages. The reunited people didn't have time to say anything, so they continued to move forward, because not far from them, they could already see a waterhole.

The pool is not very large, and you can see the entire water surface from a slightly higher place. The waterhole as a whole is an irregular oval, the longest point is about 200 meters, and the two sides are nearly 90 degrees of inclined rocks and strange rocks, there is no place for humans to stand at all, only the two sides in the middle of the waterhole are relatively flat, and Lu Ming is located on one of them. The water in the pool is graphite-colored, which is very appropriate to the name of the black pool, but because of this, it is impossible to see the depth of the pool with the naked eye, Lu Ming secretly used the real eye, and he couldn't see anything below two meters.

A few people first looked around carefully, but they didn't find any stone tablets, so they set their eyes on the other side, it didn't matter, Lu Ming found that there seemed to be people on the other side, and the people on the other side seemed to have found them and waved at them.

Fortunately, Liu Ding brought binoculars in his bag, he quickly took them out and handed them to Lu Ming, Lu Ming took it and looked at the other side, and it was Gao Yu, the old ghost, Liang Hansheng and Zhu Wenli who waved to them on the other side. Seeing that the four of them were alive, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a little happy, at least now they haven't been attritional, but Gao Yu and the old ghost seem to be a little injured and look a little tired, and Liang Hansheng and his wife seem to be in good spirits.

After waving to the opposite side to respond, Lu Ming found that Gao Yu kept pointing to the side with his hand, Lu Ming looked in the direction he pointed, and it was a stone tablet with three big characters written on it: "Black Water Pool"
