Chapter 46: The Deep Well
The long blade slashed through the water, making water marks everywhere it went, and then dragging a long string of blisters. The old man's body is also swaying in the water, and his dancing trajectory is like a vigorous ink painting.
Within seconds, the hands wrapped around us were all severed by his blades. But at the same time, our breathing reached the limit, and we had to swim upwards again.
When we broke through the water again, we were greeted by more things that resembled black hair, and then the sound of heavy objects falling into the water began to pop and pop all around, and the number was unimaginable.
There was no time to greet each other, Ye Lao shouted: "Quick, take a deep breath, we have to swim to the exit in one breath!" ”
Xiaorou and I both obediently took a big breath, then buried our heads in the water and swam to the exit for the third time.
The slimy corpses whose hands had been cut off just now all followed, but under Ye Lao's sharp blades, they all sank into the deep seabed. We wanted to take this opportunity to swim to the exit, but we had to stop.
Ye Lao also turned on the flashlight and shone it forward with me. At this time, an extremely terrifying scene appeared in front of our eyes: countless sticky corpses were intertwined with each other in the water, their limbs kept intertwined, and then gradually eliminated the barriers between their limbs, and they were glued together to form a large net.
If we don't break through this net, we won't be able to reach the exit at all, but how to rush through, even if it is Ye Lao, he can't have enough time and oxygen to deal with these guys and break out of the encirclement.
At the same time, I noticed that the light coming from the water was much weaker, and when I looked up, dozens of pairs of black eyes without the whites of the eyes were staring at us, and their pale and twisted limbs were connected together.
I suddenly understood their purpose, they had sealed all the exits in order to trap us in the water and suffocate us from lack of oxygen. What kind of conspiracy is this?
Ye Lao swam to the front of this "corpse net", and then with a wave of the long knife, a long crack was cut, and the face, body, hands and feet on this crack were all cut, but as soon as the blade passed, this crack was immediately squeezed together by the tissues on both sides and re-healed.
At the same time, countless hands stretched out from the large net of limbs, dragging towards Ye Lao. Ye Lao turned the long knife, broke them all, and retreated.
After this test, we basically understand that it is impossible to break the net and escape, because once we are caught by those hands, we will definitely die.
I looked around quickly, and I saw a very thick, sealed stainless steel pipe on the ceiling above the subway tracks, which I remember was called a pipe well, and there were some cables or water pipes or something like that.
There may be air in it! It occurred to me that although the subway was flooded, the pipe well might not have been flooded, and if it were, we would at least be able to escape from there.
So I immediately gestured at Ye Lao, and I scratched the pipe twice with my finger, signaling to him that we could escape from there. At this time, everyone was almost at the limit, and they swam straight over without much thought. And the two webs of death behind us and over our heads are also rapidly approaching us.
The pipe well was spliced together by pieces of stainless steel and iron, and the joint was not strong, so I immediately snatched the axe from Xiao Rou's hand and slashed at the joint.
The water outside the "...... zizizizi" rushed into it and made a sharp sound. I continued to slash at the pipe, and after only three or four cuts, the joint was completely crooked, and a large amount of water began to pour into the pipe, and I was sucked by the suction.
But the hole wasn't big enough, so I kicked my foot at the crooked section of the pipe and kicked it all out. Suddenly, there was a "boom", and the huge water pressure frantically pressed the water around me into the pipe. The pressure was so great that I rushed into the passage, and the back of my head hit the top of the passage.
I saw Xiao Rou and Ye Lao also rolled in, and the sky spun all at once, only to feel that my body was like an arrow off the string and shuttling through the passage quickly.
I tossed and turned in the passage, and my body was constantly being hit and in great pain. I don't know how long it took, but I heard a loud sound of running water hitting the water, and then with a "poof", I was swept out by the current and fell heavily into a pool of water.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Rou and Ye Lao were also washed down, making a sound of falling water. I struggled to get out of the water, and as the air rushed into my lungs, I had a violent cough and a throbbing pain in my chest, but the throbbing sensation really told me that we had survived!
After calming down a bit, I turned on the flashlight that I had been holding tightly in my hand and asked, "Are you all right?" ”
This was echoed with a heavy response, and then I realized that we were in a deep square well, surrounded on all sides, and on one wall there was a long iron ladder leading to the top, but it was so high that the light could not reach the top.
Old Man Ye is old and strong, of course there is nothing wrong, Xiao Rou's face is a little pale, but it seems that he was only frightened.
"Thank you, Senior Ye, did you come back to save us on purpose?" I asked as I gasped.
He smiled hoarsely: "You don't forget to come back to save me, an old man, when you are young, of course I can't die without saving ......"
In the old man's narration, I learned that they had been hiding near the exit after running out of the subway and waiting for us to return, but we didn't come out until all the corpses underground, so Ye Lao asked Guan Fei and Xiao Jiu to take Lu Feng to the hospital first, and went back to look for us alone.
The pipe well that washed us into the well just now is still pumping water from the subway into here. I shone my flashlight again, and there was only a long iron staircase leading to the top of the deep well, and there was no other exit around. I had no choice but to fight my spirits, swim to the long ladder, and then climb up first, Xiao Rou also followed me, and Ye Lao followed behind.
While climbing, I thought that since there is a pipe well leading to the subway, according to the principle of connecting pipes, this well should be about the same depth as the subway. Sure enough, we climbed for a long time to reach the end, and I knocked on the top with my hand, and there was a dull sound of thumping and thumping, it was an iron cover.
I shone my flashlight at the two people behind me, and then at the iron cover, signaling that I was about to open it. They all nodded.
To say that you are not afraid at all that it is fake, where is this exactly? It's very risky to open the lid without even knowing this. Because it is very likely that this is a manhole cover on the side of the road or in the center of the road, and above it is of course a world full of corpses, and the slightest carelessness may lead to a fire.
I swallowed, and the image of a hideous face appeared immediately after the lid was opened.
I took another deep breath and gently pushed the lid upwards to poke my eyes out. There seemed to be countless terrifying factors floating in the darkness, and I trembled and stretched out my flashlight, and the light hit the dark space in a divergent column.
I slowly strafed the space from left to right, there were many table corners, it looked like a dining room, and in the distance there was a row of iron cabinets with vague displays of what was illegible. I continued to move to the right and suddenly bumped into something.
A human face appeared on my retina, with dilated pupils and open mouth, as if to pounce. I screamed "ahh My hand against the iron cover also shrank, and the iron cover slammed into the mouth of the well.
