Volume 4, Chapter Twenty-Three: The Sound of Water
After a whirlwind, Yun Zhuo finally managed to stabilize his body, and looked in that direction again, only to see that the entrance of the cave turned out to be a whirlpool. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's the suction generated by the whirlpool that sucks itself in.
Wouldn't the water flow faster than the water in the well?
Only in this way can a powerful vortex be created.
Shaking his head, Yun Zhuo looked around, the water here was deeper!
The current is also sharper. He tread backwards, and the mech's engine spun and a thrust rushed up from his heel. This mech is nuclear-powered and doesn't need an oxidizer at all. Even in the water, it can run unimpeded.
The water up there was also too deep to be, but the faint sound of water from above showed that there was air on it. The space here isn't exactly water. The sound of water is only emitted when there is extra space. It's like a bottle of water, if you fill it up, you can't shake it out at all.
More than ten seconds later, there was nothing in front of him, and Yun Zhuo's upper body came out of the water.
At a glance. This turned out to be a very large underground river. And the water in the well just now is only a part of this dark river.
And looking at this height, the height of the first culvert he saw when he came down from the well was only equal to the level of the river.
And then what surprised Yun Zhuo even more was that there were shallows by this dark river. With a sharp leap, he leaped lightly from the water onto the shallows.
The place is so big that the echo of the water here is simply deafening.
He looked around again, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
"Dididi!" At this moment, the mecha suddenly issued a series of alarms, "Dangerous targets are found, enter combat readiness mode!" ”
Honk......
On the screen of the helmet, a red dot has already appeared. The red dot is getting closer to itself.
"Show specifics!"
As soon as the words fell, the information on the screen had changed, and I saw that a huge wave on the dark river had "rode the wind and waves".
Click! With a flick of the wrist, the laser gun pops out. Aim for that giant wave.
If something happened to it, Yun Zhuo wouldn't mind sending it to the eighteenth layer of hell.
However, just when Yun Zhuo's spirit was at a high level of tension, the huge water streak disappeared in front of him.
Is it a shark?
But sharks are marine creatures, so how can they be in fresh water? Or in this dark underground water system! Aren't you afraid of being stuffy?
Or is it a very large turtle?
But the speed of the turtle shouldn't be so fast, right?
What is that? Piranhas? There are carnivorous fish in freshwater, but they are not that big, are they?
Yun Zhuo was a little puzzled for a while. I couldn't help but put down my hands.
Syllable!
At this moment, a huge tail popped out of the water, setting off a very big wave! Is it really fish?
Such a big fish? In that case, it must be two meters long, right?
In a word, the good ones don't come, and the ones who come are not good!
It's just a fish, and Yun Zhuo hasn't taken it to heart yet.
He withdrew his laser gun and continued to walk upstream. If the well water is polluted, the source of the pollution must be upstream. Downstream sewage cannot be reversed.
Whoa......
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of water behind him. Something seems to have come ashore. And it always feels like being alone! That sound of walking on gravel is really clear.
Yun Zhuo was excited, the laser gun on his wrist popped out again, and he turned around, but he was stunned.
Nothing. What about auditory hallucinations?
No way! His body was so good that it was impossible to hallucinate.
Well!
Or maybe the stone from the top of the cave fell into the dark river.
Yun Zhuo turned around and continued to walk upstream.
But as an agent, he still has that kind of caution, and while he walks forward, his attention is also focused on the back.
Boom!
As soon as his feet fell, there was the sound of something breaking on the ground.
Yun Zhuo couldn't help but be slightly stunned. It felt like stepping on a branch. But how could there be branches in this hellish place? Even if there were branches, they would have been swept away by the current.
He looked away at what was on the ground.
Pupils dilated instantly!
This turned out to be a human femur. It's just that now it's been trampled on by him. This is rushed down from upstream?
A trace of doubt flashed in his heart, and he squatted down, trying to pick up the femur on the ground to take a closer look, when there was a hula hula sound behind him, which felt like something crawling out of the dark river to make the sound.
Yun Zhuo's brow twisted imperceptibly.
He pretended not to see anything, and casually picked up the femur on the ground and examined it carefully.
But the function of the ear has long been opened.
Tick...... Tick!
The slight sound of water seems to be the sound of water falling from the hair when a person is walking.
It's very reminiscent of a beautiful woman who has just come out of the bath.
Yun Zhuo closed his eyes, and his face instantly turned cold.
Swish!
He turned abruptly, and the knife swept behind him, but to his stunned chase, there was still nothing on the shallows!
How can it be? Just now he clearly heard someone approaching him.
His gaze swept to the surface of the dark river again. His eyes couldn't help but flicker.
A strange ripple on the surface of the water has faded into the turbulence.
Is it in the water?
I'm going to see what the hell it is!
Yun Zhuo is a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, if he is afraid, then don't be a soldier.
He looked at the half of the femur in his hand, and looked down again at the ground.
The eyelids are jumping!
A pair of hollow eyes stared straight at him.
It's a human head. Skull!
Dead person?
Dead people are not the most terrifying, what makes Yun Zhuo's heart chill the most is that the stones around here are full of such human bones.
They were all stranded on this rocky beach. Some have been reduced to fragments, others have been covered with later sand and gravel, and only half of them are exposed. It can be seen that it has been some years.
Yun Zhuo suddenly realized that these things were the culprits that caused the outbreak of the plague in the entire Beichen Village.
They were washed down from the upstream by the river, but how could there be so many dead people upstream? Otherwise, how could there be so many human bones?
And also! If only one or two people died in the dark river, it would be nothing, but if so many people died together in the dark river, wouldn't the villagers notice the strangeness of the water?
Or did these people not die together, but one after the other? In this way, even if the water is infected with the plague, the villagers are afraid that it will not be easy to find out.
It looks like we have to go upstream.
Yun Zhuo had a feeling in his heart that maybe this dark river had something to do with his mission.
Crash......
The sound of water was heard again behind him.
It's already the third time.
The other party was so sneaky, Yun Zhuo's palms couldn't help but be full of sweat.
He turned again, and something appeared in his field of vision. An instant chill emerged from my heart and spread all over my body.
