Chapter 860: Below the Water's Surface
Seeing that the water area turned bright red, and half of the dead snake floated up, all of this made Gao Chao and the three of them at a loss, and they felt that the water of the dark river had become extremely cold, as if the three of them had frozen unconscious.
At this moment, suddenly, several more black snakes rushed towards their location, and after Gao Chao noticed it, he shouted, and together with Da Liu and Xiao Liu, he was ready to fight those black snakes and fight to the death.
But what they didn't expect was that those big snakes, without exception, suddenly sank to the bottom of the water when they were about to approach them, and soon floated up again, and only half of them were left.
And at the same time, the water area where the three of them were basically turned bright red, and it really made people shudder when they looked at it.
Gao Chao, Da Liu, and Xiao Liu looked at each other, and no one knew what was going on.
But no matter what, the current situation is still not optimistic for the three of them, and Gao Chao suddenly remembered that the explosion, the huge explosion in which he wrapped the explosives in his coat, really worked?
So he immediately called Da Liu, along with Xiao Yanagi, and used a flashlight to shine at the ice wall.
The result surprised them, unexpectedly, the explosives really played a very big role, on the ice wall where the explosives were superbly detonated, a hole five or six meters in size suddenly appeared, not only that, but in the hole, there seemed to be a stream of green smoke leaking out, from their point of view, it seemed that the green smoke was like a reversible incense, fluttering and falling on the water surface in front of the ice wall.
In the dim light, the water surface was not very peaceful, and in this way, there were countless black snakes entwined with each other, rolling on the water surface, which made people feel both frightened and disgusting.
No matter who you are, when you see such a picture, you may not be able to maintain a fairly calm anymore, even if it is superb, it is no exception.
Now in his mind, a word suddenly came to mind - retreat.
But these two words, once spoken, would mean that all the efforts they had made were gone.
He thought about what it would be like when he went back and saw General Shangguan.
This is not a question of losing face, but what kind of responsibility a man should bear when facing responsibility, especially when he chooses it himself.
So Gao Chao couldn't retreat, and he finally decided what he was going to do.
He shouted loudly: "Da Liu, you take Xiao Liu to retreat first, the water level is raised, and strive to climb out from the opening where we entered!" ”
Da Liu and Xiao Liu were stunned, the situation ahead of them was not unseen, so many poisonous snakes were rolling and swimming towards this side, but now Gao Chao only let the two of them retreat first, could it be that Gao Chao wanted to cover?
This scene, I'm afraid it's almost the same as in film and television dramas, those heroes who dare to take on the role always seem to want to sacrifice themselves at such a time to protect the lives of others, but in reality, if someone really does this, and when it's in front of you, I'm afraid you will be the same as Da Liu or Xiao Yanagi, and you will be stunned immediately.
Because no one believes that there is such a person in this world.
In the end, after a few seconds, Xiao Liu suddenly shouted: "No, Lao Gao, we have to withdraw together, it's still too late to go out, let's go, Lao Gao." ”
Gao Chao didn't seem to hear his shout at all, but desperately swam towards the surging snakes in front of him.
Is it superbly crazy? No, Gao Chao wasn't crazy, he at least had the dagger in his hand, and he believed in himself, even though it didn't seem like a good idea, and maybe he didn't have the ability to rush through the snakes, but he still had to try.
It can only be said that this is a spirit.
A spirit of fighting for faith and responsibility.
Is this kind of spirit missing in modern times?
Many times, many things, only after trying and struggling, can we be qualified to stand and say that we have done our best.
But now, many people have given up before they have done it, what is this called? It's called surrender.
Gao Chao is not a man who is willing to surrender, he is a man, a man who is willing to give his life for his faith and responsibility, so he is going, he is going to himself.
Xiaoyanagi cried, he swam on the water, crying and shouting Gao Chao's name, but Gao Chao had already swam a little far.
Then, at this moment, Da Liu didn't say a word, suddenly started, and swam up in the direction of Gao Chao, Xiao Liu called Da Liu's name again, but Da Liu didn't seem to hear anything.
Da Liu's whole body was trembling, his eyes were round, they were full of bloodshots, he was really red-eyed, he couldn't let his comrades die like this, even if it was death, he was determined to die with him.
Xiao Liu gritted his teeth, and finally, he followed behind Da Liu and swam towards Gao Chao's location.
The group of snakes was less than a meter in front of him, Gao Chao took a deep breath, and then put the sharp dagger in front of him, he slowly approached the poisonous snakes, ready to kill them as fast as possible, hoping that he could break out of a bloody path.
But at this moment, he suddenly found that less than a meter in front of him, those snakes suddenly scattered, and a few of them couldn't swim, but suddenly fell into the water, and then in less than two seconds, layers of red splashes appeared on the surface of the water again, and Gao Chao was stunned.
Even on that surface, there was bright red blood, and they were flooded and stained red in front of Gao Chao.
Then, there were half of the corpses of several poisonous snakes, which showed that the group of poisonous snakes had just dispersed and were hiding from something.
And beneath the surface of the water, there really is something unknowable, and it seems to be right next to Gao Chao.
"Lao Gao, are you alright?"
Gao Chao was in a daze, and suddenly Da Liu's voice came from behind him, Gao Chao looked back and found that Da Liu and Xiao Liu were also close behind.
He nodded at Da Liu and Xiao Liu, his heart warmed, and then he said, "What's the matter?" Didn't you get out of the way? ”
Da Liu snorted and said, "Oh, don't talk about this, hurry up, Lao Gao, are you okay?" Are there any injuries? ”
Gao Chao shook his head and said, "I don't know how, you see, these snakes have died a lot." ”
Koyanagi also approached and said, "Really, how do I feel like someone is cleaning these snakes for us." ”
Gao Chao and Da Liu both glanced at Xiao Yanagi, and neither of them made a sound.
But although he didn't speak, Koyanagi's words seemed very important.
Indeed, they have survived until now, at least because of the underwater thing.
But what is it?
Gao Chao suddenly said: "Whether there is something or not, we have to be careful, now it is dealing with poisonous snakes, maybe it will deal with us in a while." ”
Da Liu and Xiao Liu nodded, and the blades in their hands were held tighter.
Then the three of them swam forward again, getting closer and closer to the blasted ice wall.
There, there were streams of green smoke flowing out, and they were all condensed on the surface of the water, making people look like a layer of cotton growing on the surface of the water.
"It's cold." Gao Chao said: "Everyone, pay attention, the sight here is not good, be careful of snakes." ”
Although Gao Chao said this, he understood that in this thick green smoke, no matter what happened on the water, it was difficult for them to see, and even between the three of them, if they didn't have a sound when swimming, they could follow each other's sounds, they might suddenly lose each other's traces.
It's like a layer of fog, but it's so weird.
"It's wicked." Da Liu suddenly said: "There are so many poisonous snakes, why are there no one?" ”
What Da Liu said was right, after they swam into this smoky water, they never saw those black poisonous snakes again, as if everything just now was like a dream.
Gao Chao was also thinking about this, but he didn't speak, because almost all his energy was in front of his gaze.
Because since he entered this water, his vision has become very poor, and he can only use a flashlight to shine about half a meter in front of him, but it is difficult to see the hole in the ice wall in front of him that was blasted open by them.
He was worried that in such a body of water, something even more unexpected would happen.
As a result, just as he was looking ahead intently, suddenly, Xiao Yanagi, who was swimming at the end of them, whispered: "Old Gao, look up." ”
