Chapter XXVII: New Discoveries
After Yang Xue said this, I suddenly remembered that in addition to us, there was another person who had also entered this cave system, and that person acted perversely, and had some resentment towards us, and I didn't know if it was a human or a ghost. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
I say:
"How does he make a fuss about numbers? Didn't you sneak after us and change the numbers? ”
Yang Xue said: "We were all in a hurry to go out just now, and we didn't carefully observe whether those numbers had been smeared, now that we know this point, let's go over and see the situation." ”
I wondered:
"It's unlikely, there are so many of us, if he keeps following us, there is no reason why he won't be discovered?"
Yang Xue said that you are still not an expert in caving, don't you have any basic common sense? Don't you know that when people enter a cave, their consciousness will be chaotic?
As soon as he said that, I remembered that when I was in college, I once went to explore the cave with an outdoor team, and we were more crowded, so we were divided into two echelons, one in front and one behind. In order to scare us, the echelon in front of us made a prank, secretly turned off all the light sources, and hid in the dark, and when we went to the front, they suddenly came out from behind, and our team was scared enough that they thought there was a supernatural event. Later, they explained that they were hiding in a corner of the cave, and when we passed by, they were only four or five meters away, and we didn't even notice it.
In the cave, people are in a quiet and dark environment for a long time, and there is no accustomed vision and hearing stimulation, which will cause sensory function to decline, and because there is no change in temperature and humidity in the cave, it is easy to fall into a chaotic state for a long time in the cave.
I drank some water, gathered my thoughts, and said to Yang Xue: "Without further ado, let's hurry up and see if there is any problem with the mark." ”
We had walked along Cave 25 for half an hour, and then entered Cave 15, and we carefully observed the signs on the cave wall, shining a strong flashlight again and again, but we really couldn't see any signs of smearing. We went on and went from number 15 to number 28, then to number 27, and then to number 17. Every time we pass through a cave, we have to carefully observe the signs, but we can't see anything wrong, those numbers are all written in one stroke, and there is no trace of alteration at all. We went further and were back on the 25th.
At this moment, we have been walking for more than 5 hours in a row, and we are so tired that we can't bear it, and when we see that we are back in Cave 25, we will go back first.
Captain Li was still standing there pulling the rope, I was secretly surprised, this person's willpower was far beyond ordinary people, and he was able to stand in place for 5 hours, didn't he have been a soldier before? He was taken aback when he saw us coming back from the other side, and asked us if we had found anything.
I shook my head and only heard Yang Xue say:
"I have a discovery, sometimes we go into the right cave, sometimes there will be deviations, for example, just now I and Mr. Long, from Cave 28 to Cave 27, then, it means that we are on the right track, but when we continue along the 27th, we suddenly jump to the 17th, I'm afraid the problem is here."
Captain Li said: "Listen to you say this, whether we go right or wrong, it happens completely randomly? ”
Yang Xue shook her head, a little hesitant: "I ...... I wasn't sure, and I didn't understand what the problem was, but I guessed that it might have been due to walking in the dark for a long time, which caused the central nervous system to be too tense and produce intermittent hallucinations. ”
Captain Li shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly:
"If that's the case, what should we do now, we really can't get out?"
Yang Xue and I were speechless for a while, at this moment our physical strength had reached the limit, and our eyelids began to fight. I told Captain Li that otherwise we would use Cave 25 as a camp, and then take turns to send people out to find it, after all, the number is only within 30, as long as we encounter the number 2 or be a little luckier, go directly to the 1st, then, everything will not be a problem. Cave 1 is relatively short, and we can almost see the end on Cave 2, and now it seems that we have to use the stupid method of "Yugong moving mountains".
Captain Li agreed to my suggestion, saying that there was no other way to do it. Yang Xue and I brought sleeping bags, and after just getting into it for a while, we fell asleep.
I slept for 18 hours until the next night, when I woke up. I had eaten a few things, and saw that there was chaos in the camp, some people were lying or sitting, almost everyone looked depressed, their eyes were glazed, no one was willing to talk more, and the whole team fell silent. This is the state I am most afraid of seeing, this is a state of numbness, one after another, maybe it is panic, once the food is exhausted, the team will definitely fall apart, and then I am afraid that even Captain Li will not be able to control the situation.
I saw that Captain Li and the team doctor were over there, one of them pulling a rope, and it seemed that two people had been sent out to find the exit, so I walked over and asked Captain Li how the situation was going.
Captain Li sighed and said:
"Recently, I met Cave No. 9, but I went back to No. 23, and after you fell asleep, we have been working in turns, and we didn't dare to stop for a moment, but things are not as smooth as we imagined......
I went over to see how the fat man was doing, and found him lying in his sleeping bag, leaning against the wall of the cave, in a daze. I asked him how he was doing, and he took out his hand to show me, and it was amazing that his whole hand was already black!
He told me that he didn't feel anything in the hand anymore, and that he wanted the horse doctor to amputate it so that the poison would not continue to spread. I'll just say, what about your neck? It's impossible to amputate your neck, right?
He got up and asked me to see what the back of my neck looked like, and when I took a flashlight, I saw that the black spot was spreading like a water stain, spreading around, and now it had "crawled" to the back. When I saw him like this, I couldn't help it, so I comforted him a few words, and went over to ask Boss Chen, saying that there was any change in his stomach.
Boss Chen shook his head and said to me: "The situation is fine, there hasn't been any big action since last time, if you don't recruit it, it won't come to provoke you!" ”
However, I see that Boss Chen's face is extremely pale, and probably my condition will not be much better, and the feeling of dizziness occasionally strikes, which will make people unstable on their feet.
I was a little discouraged and went back to my sleeping bag, leaning against it, staring at the cave wall opposite, without saying a word, thinking back on my experience, it was as if I had entered hell, and I thought that it was better to die quickly, so as not to suffer from the double pressure of physical and mental stress again, and the more I thought about it, the more depressed I became, and while regretting it, I thought that if I committed suicide, what method would I use to make it more pleasant, alas, it would be better to let Captain Li shoot my head with his large-caliber rifle, which was of a huge caliber, although my death would be ugly, but I can't see it myself.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard movement on Captain Li's side, and when I came back to my senses, I saw many people surrounding me, and the team was extremely excited.
Thinking of this, I immediately got up and walked over to ask Captain Li what was going on.
Captain Li couldn't help but be a little excited, and said:
"It looks like I've found an exit, and the rope has been pulled three times!"
