CHAPTER 27 -- THINGS ARE LOST
It turns out that the giant salamanders in the water can only see moving objects, and they usually sink to the bottom of the water, as if hibernating. They can sense changes in light, and when they encounter the glow-in-the-dark stones they bring with them, they will wake up from the water. Every time the Turks came down, they took a few chickens, fed them to the awakened salamanders, and then took advantage of this time to dive into the water and replace an empty bucket with an iron bucket filled with paraffin water. In about half a day, the bucket can be filled, so every day two people will come down from the iron cable above to take the water and transport it back to the ground.
After Lin He and Wu Zhiheng took off their coats and shoes, and left the little monkey squeak to Yu Ji, they prepared to go into the water. Yu Ji suddenly had an idea and took out the two masks, "Do you think this is for diving?" Before the other two could reply, the chickens nodded and croaked.
"Well, they say it's for water." Lin smiled and thanked them, tried it, and could take it.
"In case the Turks come after you, pull this rope, and we will come up when we hear the bell." Wu Zhiheng picked up the hemp rope used by the Turks at the water's edge and tied it around the waist of himself and Lin He, and a string of bells was tied to this hemp rope, which made a loud noise when it shook slightly.
Yu Ji nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can support it for a while." ”
Lin He tied this rope around his waist, and for a while, his heart was playful, and he shook the rope as if dancing.
"The neon dress dances lightly, the bell rings like a pearl, and the people are like fairies. I don't want to have such a beautiful woman in this peerless realm. Wu Zhiheng smiled and said, "I wonder if the beautiful woman is willing to go to this Yaochi Wonderland with Zai Xia to find out?" ”
"Why are you so obscene?" Lin said with a smile at Wu Zhiheng's face. She was so close, and I felt as excited as I did when I saw her for the first time, but my feelings for her became more and more determined. Faced with Lin He, who was still unwilling to express his heart, Wu Zhiheng was willing to wait. We search for love, but love is like a closed door, you love people outside the door, and the power of one person alone cannot decide whether the door will open or close, or when it will open. All Wu Zhiheng can give is to wait patiently and wait for my lover to come to me.
"The beauty is too famous. If not, how can you save the beauty into your arms? "Phew! Shameless!
After speaking, the two jumped into the water together, and couldn't help but sigh that this Yaochi Wonderland is really cold.
When the mask is worn, it not only has a tube to breathe air, but also allows people to open their eyes and see things in the water.
I saw that the water was very clean, and I didn't even see a single fish, and I didn't know what the salamanders ate on a daily basis. After a short time, he dived to the bottom of the water, and sure enough, there was an iron can connected to a piece of wood. Wu Zhiheng took the lead in getting this iron can, tried it, and took it down without much effort. Then Wu Zhiheng reached out to grab the half of the wood, but was suddenly stopped by Lin He.
Wu Zhiheng turned his head, only under the mask, Lin He's eyes widened, staring at the piece of wood for a moment. How Lin held his breath, there were only bubbles exhaled by Wu Zhiheng in the water for a while. Then Lin He exhaled deeply, let go of the hand that grabbed Wu Zhiheng, and motioned for him to take down the wood.
Wu Zhiheng first broke it with his hand, but the wood did not move at all. Then he pulled out the Water Breaker and pried it down at the bottom of the block, but the wood did not loosen except for the splash that had been turned out.
Lin He spread out his palm to this wooden block at this time, and the wood seemed to sense the call, and it actually floated up alone, and landed firmly in her hand. Lin closed his eyes and sensed the sensation of the wooden block in his hand. When she opened her eyes, Wu Zhiheng found that Lin He's eyes seemed to be brighter.
At this time, there was a sudden loud bell in the water.
The two men under the water stopped exploring in the water and immediately turned around and went upstream.
As soon as Wu Zhiheng's head came out of the water, he saw Yu Ji staggering and falling. When Wu Zhiheng took off his mask and flew ashore, only the fainted Yu Ji and a few dead chickens were left in the stone room. The little monkey squeaked so anxiously that it ran to Wu Zhiheng and kept squeaking.
At this time, Lin He also climbed up, and she probed into Yu Ji's arms and found that the syringe was really gone. From the time the bell rang to the time they swam to the water, in just one or twenty seconds, who could have stunned Yu Ji, found and taken the syringe, and then ran out?
Wu Zhiheng probed Yu Ji's breathing and found that he had just fainted, and there was no sign of poisoning, and it seemed that the murderer had not had enough time to kill him. This man probably hasn't gone far.
As soon as Wu Zhiheng wanted to get up and chase after the cave, he heard movement in the water behind him at this time.
A whirlpool formed at the bottom of the water, which spun bigger and faster, as if it had reached a critical point, and the whirlpool suddenly paused for a second, and then rushed to the top of the stone chamber like a rocket. More and more water gushes out of the river. Without the wooden blocks at the bottom of the water, the river is like a tank with a plug pulled out, and then it immediately becomes a dam that bursts its banks.
The topography of this underground water canal is high in the north and low in the south, and once the embankment bursts, the entire underground cavern will be affected. The entire desert basin is blocked by high mountains to the west and north, and the air currents carrying water vapor cannot flow out. After the snowmelt water flows down the mountain, it meets the Gobi Desert, and the water flows quickly into the ground and into the shallow underground water. So the amount of water here, if dumped in such a terrain, would be enough to drown all the people here.
"Run!" Wu Zhiheng roared, picked up Yu Ji and ran.
Lin ran to the wire first, and she heard someone trying to cut the wire in the dark. She leaped to her feet, not illuminated by the luminous stone, the silver light flickered, and a sharp short knife flew towards the end of the chain, through the hand that slashed at the rope. Before the man could exclaim, another knife had pierced his throat, and it was not pleasant to see his own throat pierced at any time, and he did not see where it came from until he died.
Lin jumped down from the iron cable, pulled out his short knife from the corpse, and quickly searched the person's body, but there was no syringe. The sound of the water behind it grew louder and louder, as terrifying as a flash flood. Wu Zhiheng also carried Yu Ji through the iron rope on his back. As soon as they landed, several faces quietly stretched out, and they didn't see Lin He's face, but saw the knife light that slashed their throats. Only the invisible knife is the most terrible knife.
Wu Zhiheng glanced at it and thought that there was no danger here, so he continued to run up the stone steps.
Lin turned around silently, picked up his knife first, and then searched these people, but there was still no syringe. However, she found some hidden weapons. One of the hidden artifacts seemed to be roses made of mercury, and the other was a stone box with carvings on the surface, and there might be something hidden inside, and Lin did not have time to examine it carefully. Her expression was very serious now, but her deeply locked brow could not lock the fear of her previous life. These two hidden weapons are also the same as the syringe, exuding the light of multicolored stones, this is not the light that belongs to this world, for Lin He, this light evokes not a groundbreaking new life, but the previous life in which she has died once.
