Chapter 104: The Vortex
It was Scar's shout, and the guy rushed down the current.
As soon as my wife and I saw that it was Scar rushing over, we immediately hugged it tighter, and the two of us almost simultaneously exerted force with both feet, trying to intercept Scar.
The two of us are well-intentioned, but a little whimsical. Scar rushed too fast, not only did he fail to stop him, but he also knocked me and the old prostitute away, and the two of us lost our balance in an instant, and rushed out with the fast current.
I don't know what happened to the water flow at this moment, not only did the reverse flow not slow down, but it also accelerated a little. The water is getting faster and faster, and we are like dumplings in a boiling pot, rolling in the water without restraint.
At first, I could still touch them, but then I couldn't.
I kept trying to get my head out of the water to see where they were, but I was quickly swept back into the water. I just came out of the water countless times, and I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly felt that something was wrong under my feet, why couldn't I touch the ground?
The water level here has not reached the height of submerging me, and although I am out of balance in the rapid current, my feet can always touch the ground, but the current speed is too fast to stand, even when I am in a panic, my feet will touch the ground, but now I don't know what, it feels like the soles of my feet are hanging in the air, no matter how hard I kick, I just can't kick the ground.
I tried my best to keep my head out of the water, trying not to sink myself. But as soon as I came out of the water, my head was hit, and I touched it with my hand, and there was a stone wall on it.
How can the water level be so deep here? It's already at the top of the passage.
Surprised, I had a hard time understanding it, it was incredible. If the water level here is so deep, then why is the water still flowing here, it should flow outward. As the saying goes: people go to high places, and water flows to low places. There is no reason for water to flow to a high place, and the flow rate is quite fast.
For a moment, I wanted to open my eyes and look around, but when I opened them, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. Except for the sound of rushing water not far away, nothing could be heard.
Maybe I was really dazed by the water, and I don't know when the flashlight in my hand fell off. When I tried to raise my hand to take care of it, I found that the flashlight in my hand was gone.
I wanted to call out for the old prostitute and Scar, but every mouth would pour a big mouthful of water, and then I simply gave up. Because the water level here is just the same as my mouth, I want to raise it up and shout again, but my head is pressed against the stone wall, and it is difficult for my mouth to leave the water, so I can only give up shouting.
"Oh,." A shout was heard not far away.
This is the voice of an old prostitute.
I was wondering if the old prostitute had hit something, but before I could think about it, I felt like I was empty, and the whole person seemed to be out of the water and floating in the air, only sporadic droplets of water splashed on me.
The sound of the water in my ears was getting louder and louder, and I felt myself falling rapidly.
Waterfall? That was my first thought at the time.
That thought quickly vanished, because I had no time to judge before I could fall.
I heard a plop in my ear, and then the whole person fell into the water.
After smashing into the water, I instinctively swam upwards to surface, but after a few swims, I realized that something was not good, and something seemed to be dragging me backwards in the water.
I felt something tugging at me underwater, and I was instantly stunned, because I could feel that it wasn't human.
I don't know what it is, but it certainly won't be human. Because the force was so great that it felt like it had taken control of my body, and the more I tried to get rid of it, the more I couldn't, it was like it was stuck to my back, and it was pulling me backwards with all its might.
At that time, I was really confused, my heart was very flustered, I knew my situation, once I was dragged into the water, I would definitely die. Of course, I also know that if I continue like this, even if I don't get dragged to the bottom of the water, I will choke to death in the water.
When people are in a panic, when they are in a hurry, they will stimulate latent energy, and I didn't believe in this before, but this time I did.
I don't know where I got the courage to make a bold and aggressive decision.
It was just a momentary thought, and it was immediately accepted by my whole body, and I immediately acted on it.
I swam in the water a few times, turned my body around, and tried to go head-to-head with what was pulling me, but when I turned around, no matter how much I tried to touch the front with my hands, I didn't touch anything, nothing but water.
Although it didn't touch the thing that was dragging me, the force it was pulling at me didn't decrease, but the direction of the tugging was slightly different.
Just now I felt it was dragging me backwards when it was behind me, and now it's pulling me sideways.
Sensing that it was no longer dragging me backwards, I began to tug sideways along it, and this momentum fluttered upwards.
It really paid off, and after a few desperate thrashes of the top, I finally got out of the water.
As soon as I surfaced my head, I saw a flashlight, seven or eight meters away.
However, the direction of the flashlight is particularly chaotic, as if an out-of-control flashlight is shining indiscriminately.
I glanced around in the light, and it looked like an underground river, and above it was the passage we walked through, but it had collapsed, and it looked like we were looking for the mechanism.
No wonder the water was so deep in the passage above, it turned out that it had collapsed, but that position had not completely fallen. You don't have to guess to know that I must have fallen down there.
I looked at the light source of the flashlight, and I was startled.
Yes, Scar, he's holding a flashlight in his hand.
I should have been happy to see him, but I couldn't be happy anyway at the moment, because a huge whirlpool appeared in front of me, and Scar was spinning in the whirlpool at high speed, and I was at the edge of the whirlpool, and I was also spinning along the whirlpool.
I immediately understood that there was nothing in the water that was dragging me, it was this huge whirlpool that was dragging me.
Scar was about to turn into the middle of the whirlpool, and I was thrilled to watch, and I was a little at a loss for a while, and I didn't know what to do.
I wanted to save him in my heart, but he had already been sucked into the whirlpool, and it was impossible to pull him out of the whirlpool, and I couldn't even compete with the power at the edge of the whirlpool, let alone the power in the center of the whirlpool.
At the moment when I had mixed feelings, my hands and feet stopped slightly, and one was inadvertently sucked into the whirlpool.
Caught in the whirlpool, I could no longer think about how to save Scar, so I could only take care of myself and flutter outward. This may be an instinctive human reaction, in the same moment of equal danger, it is difficult to think about how to save others, and often think about how to save your own life.
I began to passively follow the whirlpool rotation, at first it was fine on the periphery, I could flutter a few times, but after a few turns, the speed became faster and faster, no matter how much I flapped, it was futile to escape, and I couldn't escape the power of the rotation.
Just as I was struggling, Scar suddenly disappeared, followed by his flashlight, and it was pitch black in front of my eyes.
