Chapter 42: The Fall
Even though I looked down and saw the ground change, I reacted instinctively and tried to run out of the house, but I didn't survive.
For some reason, countless intertwined cracks appeared on the dirt floor under my feet, and with a few clicks, the cracks expanded at an astonishing rate, as if an earthquake had occurred, and they began to collapse in an instant.
As the ground collapsed, several of us lost our balance and fell to the ground one after another, collapsing down with the ground.
The speed of this collapse is indescribable, and it is impossible to react before it begins to fall rapidly. In just two or three seconds, I heard a muffled bang below, and then I felt a chill on my body, and my whole body fell into the cold water.
At the moment of falling into the water, I don't know what slapped me, hit me in the head, and while feeling the pain, I also felt a strong force that pressed me underwater.
It happened suddenly enough, and it was inexplicably pressed, which made me even more sluggish in the water, and I drank several sips of water, almost choking me to death.
If I fell into the water and drank some water, it would be nothing, but damn I drank not only water, but also some mud.
The first instinct of anyone who suddenly falls into the water is to constantly flutter upwards, and I am no exception, although I was slapped on the head, but my consciousness is still very clear and I know very clearly that I am going to surface.
After a few flutters, my head finally came out of the water, I coughed a few times, and spat out a few mouthfuls of stinky water, and I realized that the water level here was not deep, only to my shoulder. It's just that the smell of water here is too big, and it smells extremely fishy.
I looked around, it wasn't too dark, there was a bit of a dim flashlight, and I could see the situation around me clearly, but it was pitch black in the distance.
I touched the head that I had just been photographed with my hand, rubbed it a few times, and then took my hand down and looked at the palm, but fortunately there was no blood on my hand.
Just as I was looking for blood on my hands, a head was visible less than three meters away from me. I saw that it was a scar, and it looked like he wasn't hurt, except for a little panic on his face, there was nothing serious.
Immediately after that, another person appeared next to him, it was Ma Daha, who just came out of the water, he spat out a large mouthful of water, and then slammed his mouth with his hand, probably trying to spit out the water he had drunk. Looks like this kid is just like me, and he's drunk into the mud in his stomach.
I took a closer look, and there were no old prostitutes around, and just as I was still looking for the old prostitute, I heard someone shouting from above: "Get out of the way." ”
When I heard a sound from above, I immediately looked up. As soon as my eyes saw it, I saw a very strong flashlight, which shone on my eyes, and I hurriedly tried to cover it with my hand, but before I could raise my hand, the flashlight on it dimmed, and then I saw a big butt and quickly sat down towards me.
You don't have to think much about it to know that the one who fell must be the old prostitute, and what he said just now should have been what he shouted.
Seeing the old prostitute's ass sit down, I instinctively pushed up with both palms, trying to push him out, but he fell too fast, and my face was already in contact with his ass before my hand touched his ass. A Tarzan pressed me and sat me directly into the water.
The moment I fell into the water again, I was really blindsided, and I saw Venus in front of me in the water. If I hadn't choked on two mouthfuls of water, I wouldn't have been able to wake up. Fortunately, Scar is also a practitioner, and his reaction is fast enough, and the first time the old prostitute sat me in the water, he reached out and dragged me out of the water, otherwise I don't know how much muddy soup I have to drink this time.
After I spit out a mouthful of stinky water, the old prostitute was already standing next to me and beating me on the back, and took the initiative to ask me how I was. Nothing big, right? Are there any injuries?
I was going to scold him a few words, but after thinking about it, I felt that he didn't mean it, so I couldn't help but scold. After all, I still know the old prostitute, he didn't mean it, don't say that I wasn't injured, but if I was injured, it can only be regarded as a mistake, so I didn't pay attention to it.
Afterwards, I also thought about it, fortunately, this scene happened in the water, if it wasn't in the water, the old prostitute's ass might have really sat me to death.
After I recovered, I began to catch the flashlight, and the four of them except for the old prostitute's flashlight was still in his hand, and the other three flashlights fell into the water. We looked into the water from the surface of the water, but we only found two flashlights, and after fishing for two flashlights, we didn't find the other one.
I didn't find the flashlight after looking for a while, so I simply didn't look for it, anyway, there was a spare one in the backpack, so there was no need to delay time for a flashlight.
I looked around with a flashlight and realized that it was 20 meters high. I thought to myself, this height is equivalent to the height of the 5th floor, but fortunately it fell with the ground above, and there was water below, otherwise we would have been crippled if we didn't fall to death.
It was obvious from the flashlight that under the ground of the ancient city above, there were several thick square logs, all of which were broken. It seems that these square logs were used to support the ancient city above, but because of their age, those woods have deteriorated and rotted and can no longer withstand gravity, so they will cause them to collapse.
"Fortunately, only the ground above has collapsed, and if even the entire house above collapses, we will not be buried alive." Ma Daha looked up at it and sighed.
As soon as he finished speaking, we heard a click from above, like another log breaking, and although nothing fell, it startled us.
The old prostitute patted the back of Ma Daha's head and scolded, "Can you fucking shut your crow's mouth?" ”
Ma Daha still wanted to go back to the old prostitute for a few words, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by me. I told him not to talk about those useless things, when is it, and to have idle bickering.
"There may be something falling in this place, we have to get out of here quickly, it's impossible to go up from here, so we can only find a way here." I said.
When we looked around, we realized that there was no way out of here. The space is a rectangular shape, about 20 meters long and only 7 meters wide, and the walls around it are completely different from the ancient city above, and they are all made of stones. The internal structure alone makes it impossible to tell what kind of building this is.
When the flashlight shines on the position where it has not collapsed, it can be clearly seen that the ceiling, which is two meters high above the water, is made of logs arranged in an orderly manner on the stones on both sides, and it seems that these logs should be the roof of the building.
However, these logs do not look strong, and there are obvious signs of mold and corrosion, and they may collapse at any time. After all, there is an ancient city on it, so when I see the appearance of these woods, I am a little worried.
I was about to remind everyone to be careful, but before I could say anything, I felt someone behind me touch me. I quickly looked back, thinking that someone had touched me, but when I looked back, there was no one on the water.
When I turned my head back, I saw all three of them standing in front of me, and immediately I had a question in my heart, and my heart said, "They are all in front of me, so who touched me just now?"
