Chapter 101: Water Column
When we heard the sound, we looked down and saw that there was a small crack in the pit that had just been dug out, and water was gushing upwards along the crack.
Then there was another bang, and the crack in the pit began to widen, and it felt like a stone had been torn open in the middle.
In an instant, more and more water poured upwards, and all at once the bottom of the pit was full of water, and soon the pit was filled.
The water in the pit bubbled upwards like a boiling pot. Before we could retreat from the edge of the pit, a white column of water rushed up from the pit and hit the top of the passage.
It all happened so fast, from hearing the thud to the water jet coming out, it was all between the lightning and flint, there was no time to dodge, and Scar and I were almost at the same time, and the water jet was forced down.
In a panic, I don't know if the old prostitute and San'er were washed down, I just felt that the ground was full of water, and it was very cold, and that kind of cold was like freezing in ice.
I suddenly felt numb all over my body, as if tens of thousands of ice needles had been pierced into my bones. This is the first time I have encountered such cold water, and I really feel what it means to be cold, the water seems to have flowed into my heart, and there is no place in my body that does not shiver.
I couldn't tolerate my body being exposed to such cold water, and I tried my best to get up, but every time I tried to get up with my hands propped up, I would feel like a huge wave behind me, constantly lapping me, making me lose my balance in the water again and again.
I wanted to look back, but I couldn't turn back, because the pressure on me was so great that I couldn't turn back, even if I twisted my head, I felt very difficult.
I felt the cold on my scalp and was about to crack it, so I covered my scalp with one hand, only to feel a strong stream of water crashing against my head.
Just when I was still a little confused, a large hand came in from the water in front of me, grabbed my arm, and began to pull me forward.
I knew it had to be my own hand, trying to pull me out of the water, and I began to do my best to cooperate.
In less than two seconds, I felt the huge waves behind me disappear, and there was no longer the pressure of the lapping just now, and my whole body became relaxed.
When I got up, I saw that it was the old prostitute who was dragging me.
He was soaking wet, and his hair, face, and clothes were dripping downward.
After reading the old prostitute, I looked back, wanting to see the huge wave that had just slapped me, but when I looked back, I realized that it was not a huge wave, but the water that was refracted by the water column hitting it.
No wonder I couldn't stand up just now, it turned out that my back had been pressed by the water that had been smashed down by the water column.
Bang, bang, bang, bang,
One of the water columns rushed up between me and the old prostitute, the impact of the water column was too great, and I and the old prostitute almost didn't rush up, the two people were divided into two by the strong impact force, and both hit the stone walls on both sides, not to mention the pain, when I landed, I also poured in a few mouthfuls of cold and biting cold water.
This time, not only was my heart cold, but even my gastrointestinal tract felt a tingling pain like an ice needle.
With the appearance of several water columns, the water level on the ground began to rise rapidly.
As soon as I lifted my head out of the water, I heard a few more thumping noises in the water, but this time it was not as loud as before, probably because the water level was rising and the sound on the ground was blocked.
The sound was blocked, but the water column was not, and in the blink of an eye, there were several more bucket-sized water columns.
"Get out of here."
I turned my head to look for the sound, and it was San'er shouting, who was dragging the scar and signaling to run forward.
I took two steps forward, and I didn't feel right, why didn't I see the old prostitute.
Looking back, the old prostitute had just crawled out of the water, and her forehead was still bleeding, and it seemed that she had just hit it lightly.
I didn't have time to think too much, so I ran to the old prostitute and dragged him up, and I didn't bother to ask him how he was, so I dragged him and ran forward.
There is a world of difference between running in the water and running on a dry road. Now the water level here is almost up to the thighs, and it is very difficult to run.
"The water will throw the weight out of balance here, and it will likely trigger the trap, so we'll have to run out before the trap closes." San'er shouted loudly in front.
Hearing San'er's shouting, my old prostitute and I were like taking drugs, and no matter how difficult it was to run in the water, we caught up with Scar and San'er in one go.
Sure enough, as San'er expected, by the time we ran to the rotating position, the mechanism here had already been activated, but fortunately, the speed of rotation was not fast, so we had enough time to run out.
However, the water still runs faster than people, and there is already water flowing in this passage inside, so we don't dare to slow down, because there is still a steady stream of water coming in behind us, so we can only run forward desperately.
As I ran inside, I thought that if the rotation mechanism in the back was turned off, it would be fine to stop the water from flowing in, but if it wasn't closed, or if it wasn't closed tightly, the water would flow in.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was wrong, that we should not run into it, and if this passage was as sleepy as the one we had entered, then wouldn't it be tantamount to killing ourselves by running in.
In fact, what worries me the most now is not only the trapped passage, but also whether there is enough oxygen in this passage, knowing that the water behind it will be filled sooner or later, even if the mechanism is closed tightly and the water will not leak in, it means that no air will come in.
If there isn't enough air to circulate here, we'll end up suffocating.
"Don't run," I began to slow down, shouting, "We can't run in anymore, if there's no air in there, we'll all die inside." ”
When the old prostitute saw me slow down, she grabbed my arm and dragged me to run again.
"I know what you're thinking, but it's impossible for us to run back, and now what you should be thinking about is not how to die, but how we can not be drowned in the water first." The old prostitute glanced at me as she ran, and then said, "It's okay, even if you die, you prostitute brother and I have many ways to avoid pain, so that you won't feel pain when you go on the road." ”
I looked into the old prostitute's eyes and knew that he wasn't joking, maybe I thought of it, he had thought of it a long time ago, but he didn't say it. Maybe I should have listened to him, and thought about how we could not drown in the water.
San'er ran in front of us, and he heard what I said to the old prostitute, but he didn't express any opinion and didn't answer.
