Chapter 112: The Flow
We skied for only half a minute, and then we got down and got up and patted the dirt. Fortunately, the flashlight was always in my hand.
The fourth uncle shouted: "Let's check, are you injured?" ”
Fortunately, on a slope, although it came down a little unexpectedly, the result was not so bad in the end.
"Uncle Shi, what should we do next?" After coming down, I found a fork in the road, and I asked my uncle. The fourth uncle did not answer, but looked back, and then said to the second uncle: "He is not here, you can command." ”
The second uncle nodded, and casually arranged a Taoist priest and a soldier to wait for my master to return at the bottom of this slope. It's not without reason. Compared with supernatural things, although Taoist priests are more proficient, in terms of survivability, they are still more powerful soldiers. Let them take care of each other and avoid surprises.
The next ones were divided into two groups, the fourth uncle, the fifth uncle, and me, as well as two Taoist priests, two soldiers in one group, and the remaining group. Although the fat man wanted to follow me, for his ability to make these soldiers instantly break the illusion, he was still arranged to take a group of most of the soldiers.
Two holes, one spacious, bright and flat, and one zigzag and concave. The overall level of professionalism on our side is higher than that of the other group. So we chose the flat fork in the road. The reason is that after someone accidentally breaks into this place, most people will choose this flat road. In other words, the initiator of this place must be full of traps here, but another place that looks dangerous is very safe.
"We'll be in touch at any time, let's go." The third uncle is an urgent child, and he is about to go.
When we were about to prepare, someone suddenly said, "The walkie-talkie won't work in it!" The news really came as a surprise to everyone. Even the walkie-talkie is shielded here? A fork in the road has already divided the general manpower, what to do if you encounter a fork in the road in the future? Do you want to break us down one by one?
"Be careful, there is no turning back when you start work, let's go." The third uncle said categorically, and then took the lead in setting off, this is because he is afraid that these people will be afraid, and once people are afraid, they can't do anything.
When they were almost gone, the fourth uncle also waved his hand, signaling us to set off as well.
We walked in front, and the fifth uncle was holding a dagger, and after walking a few steps, he drew a mark on the wall. I quietly asked the fourth uncle, "Haven't you investigated?" Why is it the same as the first time? It was so caught off guard. "I said I asked quietly, and the voice was loud here.
The fourth uncle said with a bitter face: "The last time I investigated, it was almost the same. But this time it was completely wrong. Let's go, this time it's time to investigate. ”
"Wait." As soon as the fourth uncle finished speaking, I sensed that something was wrong. I had been feeling that something was wrong all along, and I couldn't tell what was wrong, but now I suddenly found out.
"What's wrong?" A Taoist priest came up around, about fifty or sixty years old. Very well maintained, eyes quite refreshed. When others were depressed, he was still so positive, which made me think a lot higher.
"Do you feel that it's not hard to breathe at all after we've been down for so long?" As soon as I said this, everyone suddenly realized and nodded their heads.
I looked at their reaction and said, "Just now, I felt a hint of wind, the air is flowing here, and I definitely don't feel wrong." Let's come on and look for it, it's so deep here, and there is still flowing air, I'm afraid the designer is not simple. ”
Actually, I'm just talking nonsense here, it would be strange if it could be simple!
"Don't look at it, let's go." The fourth uncle shook his head, and everyone continued to walk forward.
The more we walked, the wider the tunnel became, and finally in the silence of the place, I heard the sound of rustling. A little voice from the outside world here is a great encouragement to us!
Whatever it is, it's good to repeat this path forever. We all stepped up and hurried over.
When I first entered this fork in the road, there was some earth, but it was mainly stones, but now there are few stones. The fourth uncle squatted down, and when he came down, we were all a little nervous. Speaking of looking at these feng shui, Uncle Shi can definitely rank in the top ten among the old monsters, and we are quietly waiting for Uncle Shi's hairstyle.
The fourth uncle got up and shone a handful of sand in his hand with a flashlight: "It's a little damp here, there should be underground water, everyone be careful of what mechanisms are buried in the small house, now start to pay attention to stones or something, if there is really any formation, we will die without a place to be buried." ”
With that, he lifted the sand in his hand. Then he said to me: "Xiaokang, remember, in the future, you will go on your own mission, and all the inconsequential clues are sometimes the key to saving you." ”
I'm also convinced, these obscene guys on weekdays, trading people, one is more powerful than the other. I nodded, indicating that I had listened. I know that once they get serious, they must obey what they say, and there is no room for negotiation, just like my master. So I'm used to that.
Don't look at me on the surface I don't care too much, as I move forward, I'm already looking around for myself. For example, the wall of this hole, and what is the composition of the road. Including the potholes on the top of the caves along the way. I don't remember it all, though. But I slowly let them form a map in my mind. I want to find a pattern. But it seems that there is nothing, all of them are arranged in disorder.
We didn't know how long we left, because we didn't pay much attention to it, and finally it suddenly became clear that it was a big cave! And there is the sound of flowing water. A special soldier took two steps forward and squatted on the ground: "There is a stream of water, it is very clear, it flows only on the surface. "I came back with that, and it was the same as reporting work, which made me feel weird.
The hole is about five meters high, but it's quite wide compared to the tunnel.
A new dilemma has arisen, which means that we should choose whether to go with the current or against the current.
"We should go against the current to the source to figure it out." The more active Taoist priest said.
"No, we're just investigating the situation below, seeing that there is so little water, it should be when we just came in, we have to go in to see if these people are deliberately bringing water in, using water to hide something, we are not escaping from the cave, we have to crack the secret here, we have to go backwards." This is a Taoist priest who has not spoken since they met.
Both sides make sense, but at this time, it is obvious that the fourth uncle is the backbone.
