Chapter 198: Self-esteem is a troublesome thing
He took a long puff of cigarette and leaned lazily on the stone steps, slowly exhaling the cloud smoke from his mouth.
Looking at his fluttering appearance, I shook my head helplessly in my heart.
When Tuaozi rushed up just now, I really thought I was going to hang, and I finally got out of danger, but I still relied on a grenade, and we were lucky not to be killed.
Thinking of the feeling of being bombed just now, my heart is still a little trembling, but in Wu Lin's eyes, it seems as if what happened just now did not happen at all.
I don't know if he really has a bad memory, or if he has already put life and death out of the way.
Wu Lin repeatedly spat out a few puffs of cloud smoke before he bent down and found half of the dagger from the broken stone steps, and then I saw him use the half of the dagger to cut off the cigar very carefully, as if he was afraid of cutting an inch more.
He probably noticed the look in my eyes, and he held up his cigar and smiled at me: "This is the best Cuban cigar, it's hard to buy." ”
I smiled helplessly: "I thought you were a person who saw through life and death, but I didn't expect to smoke a cigarette and search so much." ”
Wu Lin carefully put away the cigar and replied: "There is no contradiction between seeing through life and death and enjoying life. How are you, have you recovered? ”
As he spoke, he stood up.
This guy is really better than me, and I still feel a little weak in my knees.
But I didn't want to show weakness, so I waved my hand: "I don't have to slow down, it's okay at all." ”
Wu Lin tilted his head towards the top of the stone steps: "Then go on?" ”
I stood up with all my might, but with a relaxed expression, I raised my chin towards the top of the stone steps: "Go on." ”
It's a pity that my remaining strength can only support myself to stand up, but I can't climb the stairs normally, just lift my right leg, the ankle of my left foot suddenly weakened, the whole person instantly lost his center of gravity, fell firmly on the stone teeth, and the skin on the side of his arm and lower abdomen were all broken.
Wu Lin was no better, although the foot he lifted fell to the ground, but the moment he landed, the whole person fell to the side tiltedly.
He lay on his side on the ground and rolled his eyes at me.
I said, "Otherwise, let's rest for a while." ”
Wu Lin didn't reply, just took out the half of the cigar, leaned aside and swallowed the smoke, while I sat quietly on the ground, waiting for my strength to recover.
After resting for about half an hour, I felt that I was almost recovered, so I asked Wu Lin, "Go on?" ”
Wu Lin put away the cut cigar, didn't speak, got up silently, and walked silently towards the top of the stone steps.
I picked up the gas lamp on the ground and quickly followed.
I didn't go far, Wu Lin turned his head and took the gas lamp, and said to me casually: "The glass cover is bulletproof." ”
He was saying that the glass cover on the outside of the gas lamp was bulletproof.
I nodded, in response.
He turned his head and asked me after a while, "How did you get your self-healing powers?" ”
After slipping around on the edge of life and death together, my trust in him also increased a lot, so I answered truthfully: "Soak in a medicinal bath." What about you, were you born like this? ”
Since Wu Lin had his back to me, I couldn't see the expression on his face, I only saw him shrug his shoulders in front of him, and then I heard him say, "It's kind of natural." ”
This was the end of my conversation with him, and he didn't seem to want to speak again, and I couldn't find anything to talk about, and he didn't want to talk much anymore, and he remained silent.
It wasn't until we were about to reach the top of the stone steps that Wu Lin said very dejectedly: "Alas, I have never been so ashamed as today. ”
I know what he said, wasn't it just that he was so reckless just now that he fell down in front of me, but didn't I do the same thing?
I've grown up so big, although I'm occasionally strong, but I'm used to having no skin and no face, and I don't feel ashamed of what happened just now, but I didn't expect Wu Lin's face to be so thin.
This guy is really ...... It's getting more and more unpredictable.
But after that, Wu Lin didn't say anything, and I guess what happened just now was almost over in his heart.
Walking up the last stone step, Wu Lin stopped in front of the waterhole and rummaged through several pockets to find a metal ball that looked the size of a walnut.
I walked up to him and asked, "What is this?" ”
He replied briefly: "Fluorescent bomb." He then threw the metal ball into the pool.
The thing began to glow as soon as it entered the water, and the deeper it sank, the brighter the light above it.
I estimated that when it sank to about thirty or forty meters, a strong white phosphorescence suddenly erupted, and two or three moments before the light almost blinded me, I saw a large amount of dust gushing in the depths of the waterhole, and a few earth crows could be faintly seen in the middle.
The bright light came suddenly and dissipated quickly.
It took me a few minutes to adjust to the change in light, and when I could see what was around me, I saw Wu Lin put his hand on his forehead and looked across the waterhole, and he placed the gas lamp on the edge of the waterhole. I was worried that he would accidentally kick the lamp into the water, so I took a step forward and removed the gas lamp.
At this time, Wu Lin smacked his tongue and said to me: "There is no yellow spring water in the pool. ”
I nodded: "Of course not, if it is yellow spring water, there will be no dust at the bottom of the pool." ”
Wu Lin: "You know a lot of things. ”
I said, "I guess I have a family background, but how can you, a mercenary, know that the Yellow Spring is dust-free under the water?" ”
Wu Lin smiled at me: "You know that all major sects have library pavilions, right?" Anyway, they put their old books away, so I borrow two from time to time to take a look, don't you say, there are really a lot of interesting things recorded in these old classics. ”
I immediately frowned: "Are the books in the library library borrowed if you want?" ”
Wu Lin still had a smile on his face: "Of course I can borrow if I want, but when I borrowed the book, they didn't know." ”
"Aren't you stealing?"
"How can this be called stealing, it's not that I won't pay it back."
The two of us were talking word by word, and at the same time, we counted our contents at a very fast pace. What you can bring and what you can't bring, it's all good one by one.
There is such a waterhole in front of you, and if you want to go deeper, you have to swim through.
Wu Lin and I are tacitly aware of this, and there is no need to be too clear, just prepare what should be prepared.
To be honest, after going through so much with Wu Lin, I found that joining forces with him had a higher tacit understanding than when I was doing things with Li Huaishan, but I really can't fully trust Wu Lin as a person. But I could feel that he seemed to trust me very much.
My side quickly cleaned up, and Wu Lin took a little more time to cover the bullets with some loose gunpowder in a waterproof bag.
It was indeed a blessing just now, the grenade did not detonate the bullet and explosives, if these two things were also blown up, I guess I would have taken Wu Lin to Lord Yama's house for tea by now.
Once he had done it, he moved his gaze to a few flashlights.
Anyway, I had to go into the water, and I thought that these flashlights would definitely not be usable as soon as they entered the water, so I threw them to the ground in order to reduce the load.
Wu Lin first glanced at the scattered flashlights, and then quickly stepped forward and picked up all three flashlights.
He looked at the flashlights very carefully, and threw two of them at me: "The waterproof ones are still military products, and the batteries in them can last a long time." ”
I caught the flashlight and pinned one of them to my waist, while Wu Lin bit a flashlight and went straight into the water.
He seems to like to take the lead and take the lead in everything, and I don't bother to compete with him for this position, so I just follow honestly.
Wu Lin's water quality is not good, but fortunately, the waterhole is not too wide, and the water temperature is quite normal, so it will not cause cramps or anything, he barely swam for a few minutes, and finally reached the opposite shore.
I was always afraid that he would sink suddenly, so I didn't dare to rush to the front, and I followed him closely to prevent him from having an accident.
After Wu Lin climbed ashore, he immediately turned around and stretched out his hand to pull me up.
In fact, I don't need his help at all, he should know this himself, and the reason why he helps out in one more way seems to be just angry with himself.
Just now I quietly followed him, protecting his safety, as if it had hurt his pride.
This guy's self-esteem always seems to show up in such inconsequential places.
But now I didn't have the heart to think too much about it, and after I got ashore, I quickly shot the light forward.
As I had previously estimated, on this side of the pool, there is a waterway with a large slope that slopes downward, and the walls of the road have become extremely smooth due to the perennial erosion of the pool.
Then I hit the beam overhead, and it was pitch black and nothing.
If we go any further, we will have to slide down the waterway, but once we slide down the waterway, it is difficult for us to control our speed, and it is extremely dangerous to do so without knowing what is going down there.
I was about to ask Wu Lin what he had done, but Wu Lin asked me first: "You say, what will be next?" ”
I shook my head, "I don't know." But I always felt that something very bad was lurking beneath this waterway. ”
Wu Lin also frowned tightly: "This is the second time I've come, the last time I looked at the other side of the pool, the cold hairs on my body stood up, but now that I'm here, I don't have the creepy feeling I had last time." ”
I smacked my lips: "What's going on now?" Go down? ”
Wu Lin directly gave me the answer with his actions, and as soon as my words fell, his body suddenly sank and slid directly into the waterway. I sighed inwardly and slid in.
Due to the steep slope of the waterway and the low friction, in less than a minute, the rapid movement speed almost stretched the surrounding scene into a vague straight line, and the only thing I could see clearly was Wu Lin's back.
At that time, I kept holding a flashlight to keep Wu Lin's figure bright, as if I was afraid that he would suddenly disappear in front of me.
I don't know how long it took to slide like this, but for a moment, Wu Lin's figure suddenly went into a trance, and then, he disappeared out of thin air in front of me.
