The old man surnamed Mao suddenly made such a strange move, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked, but when they heard him say "I want to live", they couldn't help but get restless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The old man didn't care whether everyone was surprised or not, he raised the compass in his hand, followed the guidance of the magnetic needle, took a step, and rushed forward like a fly.

How dare everyone hesitate, seeing that the old man was about to disappear at the end of the cave, they didn't care about what was happening, they hurriedly pulled up their backpacks and swarmed away.

Although the old man surnamed Mao is quite old, his steps are extremely fast, and he seems to be from a practicing family. We followed him, running left and right in this complex cobweb-like labyrinth, running dizzy, out of breath, and I don't know how long we ran, the hole suddenly became wide.

Only then did the old man stop his mad running, and when he said, "It's here," he beckoned everyone to go out along the cave. The entrance to this cave was only two meters high and wide before, and I don't know when, it has suddenly opened up, and when it shines on the top of the cave, it has increased by four or five meters, and the width can also be used by several people in parallel.

After walking a distance further, you will enter another "pot-shaped" cave, as far as the eye can see, this cave is about the size of a basketball court, and the same as the previous hall, it is also a funnel-shaped depression, but at the lowest point in the center of the bottom, there is a water hole of about 20 square meters, the water color is dark blue, the blue is black, and the depth of the water is unfathomable.

The people went down to this hall and set up camp in a slightly flat place by the eye of the water, and rested. In order to survive, everyone used all their strength, and when I looked at the time, we ran non-stop for two hours, which can be called a marathon.

Everyone was out of breath and fell to the ground with a dizziness and couldn't move.

The old man, who was the oldest, but had the best physical strength, rested only a little on the ground, and then stood up again, holding up the compass and examining it repeatedly beside the water hole. Captain Li walked up to him and whispered something to him, but his voice was too small to distinguish. After a while, he heard the old man say, "Go into the water," and then he said no more.

It seems that Captain Li and this old man have premeditated, and I don't know what the hell is going on, so Captain Li waited for everyone to calm down a little, and in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he explained:

"You may think it's very strange, why things are developing like this, but I can tell you, the most important thing, we all got out of that labyrinth alive, when Mr. Mao made this suggestion, I was still hesitant, but, anyway, it is to sacrifice a person, I think I might as well try, in order not to let everyone think cranky, I had to temporarily hide the truth, I hope you can understand my good intentions......"

Captain Li looked around at everyone with a stern gaze, and seeing that no one questioned his authority, he continued:

What Mr. Mao means is to use the method of leaving the body after death to find an exit, and he believes that after death, the soul will inevitably miss their relatives and want to go home immediately to reunite with their families, so they will definitely drift along the right path. When I say this, some people must think that I am engaged in feudal superstition, but I tell you, this matter can be explained by scientific methods, after death, the soul is out of the shell, what is the soul? According to the scientific explanation, the soul is a kind of magnetic field, a kind of magnetic field with self-awareness, Mr. Mao according to this, using the guidance of the compass, he successfully rescued everyone from the danger of death, although we paid a painful price, but the result is still very gratifying......"

Captain Li also said that the deceased team member was the life-saving benefactor of all of us, and we should not forget our roots, and after we go out, we should take on the responsibility of taking care of the family of the deceased.

I have long been fed up with Captain Li's rhetoric, and he has described his extremely sinister intentions as noble and great, and his sanctimonious appearance is simply unprecedented and unprecedented. I didn't want to listen to his words full of benevolence and morality, and the anxiety and drowsiness that had been going on for days and days of anxiety and drowsiness hit me, so I took out my sleeping bag from my backpack and got into it, thinking that I would sleep first, and then I would not think about the troubles that disturbed my conscience.

I was sleeping soundly, but I was awakened by a chaotic noise, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the whole team in a mess, chattering about something, and I couldn't figure out what was going on.

I got up and saw Yang Xue squatting next to the water hole, looking down, so I went over and asked her what was going on.

Yang Xue said that we were all exhausted just now, and we were negligent for a while, and forgot to keep people on duty, but I don't know when the braces came out of the cave, secretly opened the oxygen cylinder, and stole a bottle of oxygen, and dived into the water hole. Thankfully, we heard the sound and found it in time, but despite this, a third of the oxygen had been consumed.

Yang Xue said again, now the situation is very serious, we just checked this hall, found that except for this water hole, there is no other exit, and we can't follow the maze and then exit, at the moment, we can only dive through the water eye, but the problem is that we only have 6 sets of diving equipment, which means that someone must stay. Now people are panicking, and at any moment there may be another riot over the fight for oxygen cylinders.

After listening to her narration, the whole person was blinded, it was really just out of the tiger's den, and into the wolf's den, and now this situation, and we are once again forced into a desperate situation, now the facts are in front of us, someone must stay, in the case of no food, waiting for rescue, so that who goes and who stays, has become a fatal problem.

At this time, Yang Xue suddenly leaned on my shoulder, pretending to be tired, but secretly put her lips close to my ear and whispered:

"Captain Li just now, he ......"

Before he finished speaking, Captain Li suddenly walked over, Yang Xue hurriedly stopped him, and listened to Captain Li:

"Miss Yang, the situation is not optimistic now, it's time to use you, please bring a set of diving equipment, go into the water with me, and explore the situation of this water hole, if it is not far from the next dry cave, and the oxygen is enough, we can take turns to go over."

Yang Xue said:

"Captain Li, I think it's better for me and Mr. Long to go down, he is relatively familiar with the structure of the cave, and it is more likely to find the exit."

Captain Li glanced at us with a little hesitation, probably because he saw that we had just made an overly intimate move, and he was a little suspicious, so he said what if you left everyone and ran away.

Yang Xuexiao's face turned red, she was angry, and said angrily: "Captain Li, if you don't worry about us, then you can find someone else to go down yourself, and I'll stay where I am and wait for good news." ”

Captain Li saw that Yang Xue was angry, and he couldn't afford to be guilty, after all, in the team, she was the only one with rich diving experience, so she had to give herself a step, saying I'm joking with you, you guys are still serious, the young man is really hot-tempered, okay, since we are a team, we should trust each other, but you go down this time, you must be careful, don't forget, what you hold in your hands is the net worth of the whole team!

Captain Li is really very serious about the city, and when he says this, he is clearly kidnapping us morally, but even if he doesn't say that, it is impossible for me to leave the others behind and only take care of my own life, and his saying this only exposes the cunning and narrow-mindedness in his nature.

Not much to say, Yang Xue and I changed into diving equipment according to the plan, put on fins, checked the gas tank, Yang Xue told me some precautions for diving, saying that cave diving is not better than in open water, and it can rise in case of emergencies, so the danger is very high, and death can be basically determined in case of accidents, so the two must go in and out of the water together, and they are not allowed to act alone, telling me that as long as I follow her well, stay calm, and never panic.

She took a few minutes to teach me a few simple actions for underwater communication, I think these movements are very simple, but they are also very limited, basic communication is no problem, but if you want to talk about life ideals, gossip news is not enough.

Because it was my first time diving, I felt very wonderful, wearing a mask on my face, wearing heavy equipment on my body, and I wanted to breathe normally like on land, but when I exhaled and breathed, I made an inexplicable hissing sound from my mouth, and after entering the water, the whole person was suspended in the water, and instantly became light and dexterous.

The underwater temperature is much lower than above, and I am wearing a wetsuit at the moment, which can maintain my body temperature, but I can clearly feel a piercing coldness in my exposed hands.

Underneath this was a circular cavern, straight inward, like the inside of a huge sewer pipe, but in between there were many protruding stone pillars, sharp like the teeth of a monster. The cave is about five meters in diameter, and it seems to be an underwater branch cave, not the main channel of the underground river.

Yang Xue made a normal gesture to me, and immediately made another forward movement, asking me to follow her closely. We sneaked forward along this cave for about five minutes, and suddenly it became clear in front of us, and from this cave, we entered the main channel of the underground dark river, which is also circular, very wide, with a diameter of 30 meters, and the headlamp shines on, which is magnificent.

To be on the safe side, Yang Xue pulled a hair, measured the flow of the water, and signaled to me to follow her and move forward along the flow.

didn't go far, Yang Xue, who was in the front position, suddenly stopped, turned around and made an eye-picking movement with her hand, which meant to let me look forward, and then spread out her palm, palm down, I still remember the meaning of this gesture, is: there is a problem.
