Chapter 52: Xu Li's Death
I almost fainted when I heard Captain Cao say that I had found Xu Li's body, but fortunately Captain Cao helped me. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"You say...... You said Xu Li died? ”
"Hmmm! Come with me! ”
Captain Cao led me around the crowd and walked to the side, where two people were lying quietly in front of me. One was a soldier in the team, who seemed to be one of the two soldiers who went to save Xu Li. The other one was Xu Li, her face was pale and there was no blood.
After Xu Li was swept away by the water, two soldiers went to rescue her. One is dead, one is missing. Captain Cao sighed and said, "Doctor Wu rescued Xu Li and the soldier just now, but he still has no power to return to the sky!" ”
My tears flowed unconsciously. I remembered that Xu Li asked me for help before she was washed away by the water. My heart aches.
Although Xu Li and I have known each other for a short time, there are only two of us women in the team, so we can talk very well. The Xu Li I know is such a lively and lovely college graduate. This was the time when she was in the prime of her youth, and she was wiped out like this. Her enthusiasm makes it easy for her to get acquainted with others, and her liveliness makes many people like it. In the two days or so that we have been together, I have long regarded her as a sister. Not long ago, I was talking and laughing with her. I still remember that I came back from being alone with Captain Cao, and her heartfelt smile still appeared in front of my eyes. I still remember her sweet voice, as if it was like a beautiful heavenly sound.
But Xu Li left me suddenly, left the army, and left her family and friends, and I couldn't accept it for a while. It turns out that life and death can be transformed in an instant. I suddenly felt that life was too small and fragile, and that we were too powerless in the face of the great nature.
Captain Cao gently patted me on the shoulder, "Mourn!" We've got to keep going! ”
I asked Captain Cao to go back to the army first, and I wanted to accompany Xu Li for a while.
Sadness, regret, fear, and irritability make my mind uneasy. I don't have a concept of time, I don't know how long it will take, Captain Cao came over and asked me to go back to the army to eat something first, and I'm about to set off!
Now the people gathered around the fire. There was no wood here, so the guys made a fire with some clothes and the fuel we brought. Captain Cao told me about what happened after I fainted.
It was a critical situation, but I fainted from the whirlpool and the cold. But Captain Cao held my hand tightly. When he was about to be sucked into the whirlpool, Captain Cao finally grabbed the rope that Ma Lu threw over. The powerful suction of the vortex nearly tore the rope apart.
In the end, after everyone worked together, they pulled me and Captain Cao back. When the water receded, everyone climbed down from the pillar and prepared to set off again. But Master Zhang is not allowed to rest here, because Tai Chi Senluo has been exercising, and the door of life will soon become the door of death, and we must hurry down from the door of life.
At the center of the vortex is the raw door. It was a square hole in the ground. There is a staircase at the entrance to the cave. The army descended the stairs and was where we were now. It's a cave, and it's narrow.
Because we have just been hit hard, many people in the team have been injured to varying degrees, and everyone's physical strength has been exhausted, so we have to stop and rest.
During the break, Captain Cao ordered people to search nearby. The bodies of Xu Li and the soldier were found in the cave. It is estimated that they drowned after being hit by the whirlpool. The searchers found an exit at the end of the hole. Since the troops still needed time to recuperate, they did not go in to investigate. Everyone was tired, and everyone rested in place for two hours, and then boiled the pot and cooked. Soon I woke up.
I looked at my watch, and it turned out that it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
The bodies of Xu Li and the other soldier are to be left here. I objected to this, because I felt pitiful that they could not be left in a place where there would never be a day. Captain Cao said that the soldiers were carrying large bags of supplies, and there was really no extra manpower to carry the corpses. When we find what we're looking for, we'll have to have their bodies carried out.
In the end, I had to give in, because there was no room for me to speak. I'm not like Professor Li and Master Zhang, I don't have authority, I'm just a little forensic doctor. And most importantly, Captain Cao is right, I don't know how many dangers there are ahead, and I can't kill the living because of two dead people.
I know it's not just me, it's everyone's heart. After all, everyone is on the same team. It was a really hard feeling to watch my companions die one by one.
We set off, and before leaving, I took another look at Xu Li. Then we moved on to our unfinished mission. The cave is surrounded by stalactites, similar to the place where we first came in and encountered the blood bats. It's very humid around here, probably caused by the water from above backing up here. It's not big here, and the flashlight can shine to the end.
The poured water is not here, and there is not enough water to hold here. The water presumably flowed out of the same outlet that the soldiers had found.
We walked for a short time before we saw the exit, and when we walked in, it wasn't a single exit. Inside is a passageway, about four or five people wide and two or three meters high.
The passage was not long, and we walked for more than ten minutes to the end. At the end was a place that surprised me.
We stepped on a small clearing with endless water in front of us. There is a path in the middle of the water that leads to never-ending darkness. And when I shine a flashlight on the top of my head, it is also pitch black, and I can't see my head at all. I feel that this place is even wider than the place where the Taiji Senluo formation was just now. It is estimated that all the water poured from above flowed into the lake. Perhaps only this great lake can withstand that much water.
"This ...... Where the hell is this? The commissioner said, "This lake is too big to see the end in sight." How are we going to get there? ”
"Does that need to be said?" Ma Liu said, "There is only one road here, how else can I go!" ”
"I mean, when are we going?"
"God knows!"
"Let's go!" Captain Cao said.
"Wait!" Master Zhang walked to the front, he looked at the vast lake, "This place should also be designed according to the Liangyi Formation!" ”
"Is this still a formation? No way? Ma Liu said.
"Look at this great lake, as far as the eye can see, it means the ethereal universe, or all things, or Taiji. Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments. The large lake is bisected by a path in the middle. It means that heaven and earth have been born, yin and yang have been formed, that is, the two instruments have been generated. Looking at the previous experience, the land of Liangyi must be dangerous. Everyone must be vigilant! ”
"Master Zhang, can you see what formation in the two instruments this is?" Professor Li asked.
"It's huge, it's endless, and there's no pattern to be found. Maybe it's not the Liangyi formation, it's just that it's designed to be related to the Liangyi according to the traditional rules. Or maybe I'm not good enough to understand the mystery. Either way, it's better to keep an eye on it. ”
"Alright! Everyone's on your guard! Captain Cao said to everyone, "Be prepared for danger!" Let's go! ”
We set out on our way into the Great Lake. The road is two or three meters wide, and it is relatively slippery because it is surrounded by a large lake and is damp all year round. Walking on the road, looking at the lake on both sides that seemed to have no end, I felt a sense of fear in my heart.
We had barely walked a few steps when a "plop" sounded from the right. Everyone was nervous, and the flashlights shone in that direction. I saw that the water was splashing there, and there were waves and waves.
"Don't be nervous, it's just a fish jumping out of the water!" Captain Cao said.
"How can there be fish in such a place where you don't see the light of day all year round?" Ah Mao said.
"Where there's water, there's fish!" Captain Cao said.
"It's not about whether there are fish here!" I said, "And what can make such a big wave!" ”
"It's not surprising that there are one or two big fish in such a big lake!" Professor Chan said, "Let's keep going!" ”
