Chapter 17: The Unexpected

When I woke up, I found myself in a large stone room, the back of the head was hit hard by the water monkey, and I was still in pain at the moment, and I just wanted to reach out and crouch to look around, only to find that my hands were already unable to move, and when I looked left and right, two unknown vines had been tied to my wrists.

I was tied to the wall behind me in the shape of a "big" figure, where there were two rusty brass rings, and the source of the two thick vines was tied to the brass rings, and the brass rings were embedded in the wall. That way, I don't want to put my hands together, and it's impossible to untie the rope.

I was amazed in my heart, this method of tying people is very ingenious, and the person who is tied up cannot escape no matter what, could it be that this is from the hands of water monkeys, they have such high intelligence? I was secretly surprised, but there was no other existence here than water monkeys, which made me have to face the cruel reality.

Think of the dead divers, what a horrible fate they had, and now that I'm in their hands, you can imagine the fate. How could I be willing to do this, so I struggled with my arms, hoping to break free, but the vine was stronger than I imagined, and it was not at all broken by human power.

After trying it many times, it still didn't work, and the fear in my heart came up all at once, but fortunately the light source on the headlamp was still there, but it wasn't as bright as before, and I didn't know when it would suddenly go out, I didn't want to be in a dark space, especially in this situation.

I wanted to see the situation around me first, only to find that not far from me, Lao Cai and Biaozi were also there, and they were also tied separately in this "big" shape, their eyes were closed, and they obviously hadn't woken up from their coma yet. As my gaze lengthened, I found another person in a corner, and when I looked closely, it was Professor Zhang, and I was very surprised in my heart, I didn't expect that he was still alive, this person's life was really hard enough.

Professor Zhang was not unconscious, when my headlamp shone through, he immediately noticed it, and when he looked very surprised at me, he smiled bitterly: "You are awake." Then his face turned blue again, and he said, "Why don't you do what I say?" However, it is too late to regret it now. He sighed.

I didn't want to answer his question, but I remembered the doubts in my heart and asked him, "What happened after you came down, and why did the other four ......?" Speaking of which, I remembered Xiaohu's tragic death, so I really can't say any more.

Professor Zhang also understood what I meant, and he said with self-reproach: "We were careless, we never thought that the creature we were facing was a highly intelligent animal, and their thinking ability and imitation ability were almost comparable to human beings, which was a very terrible thing." ā€

Professor Zhang began to tell me about their experiences.

As I thought, Professor Zhang had also seen those strange patterns when he was in the crack in the stone, and he had an idea in his heart at that time, suspecting that this crack was the site of an ancient tomb. However, Professor Zhang is only a biologist and has very little knowledge of archaeology, so he does not see what the symbols symbolize, but judging from the superficial traces, he guesses that the age of these objects is more than 1,000 years.

Professor Zhang was only curious about the patterns on the stone wall, and he was not very interested, so he just stayed for a moment and led the people into the crack.

Although they had made full preparations before, they didn't expect that there would be such a large space inside the crack. Because of the light-absorbing effect of the black rocks, the range of illumination of the headlamps was very limited, and they didn't know how big the place they were in.

At this moment, four or five water monkeys suddenly jumped out from behind them, their speed was very fast, and when Professor Zhang and the others reacted, those water monkeys had already arrived in front of them, obviously there was an ambush for a long time. The distance between the two sides was too close, and Professor Zhang and the others did not dare to shoot rashly, so as not to hurt their own people, so everyone drew military daggers to fight.

But who would have thought that the water monkey was not only fast, but also extremely powerful, as long as it was caught, it was dragged away almost without resistance. At that time, if it weren't for Professor Zhang and Xiaohu being close to each other, the water monkey would not have been able to start, and I am afraid that he would have suffered the same fate.

In a matter of moments, the three divers were captured by the water monkeys, and Professor Zhang was unwilling to chase after him in the direction where the water monkeys had left.

After that, they found a stone platform full of white bones, and saw the bones of the two divers who died in the black pool.

Facing the two corpses, Professor Zhang felt guilty, but he was even more worried about the three people who had just been captured, hoping that they had not been poisoned. So I and Xiaohu were on the platform, and we went separately to find the whereabouts of the three people, and we found the cave we were in.

At this time, Professor Zhang also saw a corpse at the entrance of the cave, but Xiao Hu was eager to save people, thinking that his comrades-in-arms were lying there, he didn't even think about it, so he hurried over. When he arrived next to the corpse, Professor Zhang clearly saw that the corpse suddenly came to life and knocked Xiaohu to the ground.

Professor Zhang knew at the moment that he had been tricked, but the situation at that time was relatively chaotic, so he couldn't tell who was Xiaohu and who was the water monkey, so Professor Zhang didn't dare to risk shooting, so he had to hurry with a military dagger. Who knew that the water monkey was very cunning, and when he saw that Professor Zhang was going to come to help, he immediately knocked Xiaohu unconscious, and then dragged Xiaohu back to the depths of the cave.

Professor Zhang had to chase all the way, but it didn't take long for the water monkey in front of him to disappear, Professor Zhang was very anxious, at this moment, he accidentally found a stone room on both sides of the wall, he thought that the water monkey was hiding in it, so he went in to investigate, but found nothing.

When he returned to the door, he was struck by lightning, and he could no longer take a step in shock, and at some point, a corpse appeared silently at the door. Professor Zhang was very surprised, he clearly remembered that when he came, he didn't find a corpse there, but he didn't look dazzled at the moment, and there was indeed a corpse lying at the intersection.

Although Professor Zhang was surprised, he immediately recognized the corpse as one of his members, and without thinking much about it, he went to check on the condition of the team member. But it made him rejoice, the member had been dead for a long time, and even the corpse was eaten by the water monkeys, seeing this tragic scene, even a person like Professor Zhang couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

But what he didn't expect was that along the way, he found two more identical rooms in a row, and every time he went in to investigate and returned, a corpse would appear behind him on time, and the death was even more terrifying, making people feel cold all over the body after seeing it.

Professor Zhang was already cold at that time, and he said that it was the first time in his life that he felt fear, and that kind of fear came from the human heart, and the fear made him unable to think normally, and if it wasn't for his strong willpower, he would definitely go crazy.

But he still survived, calmed his mood, and found clues from it. Of course, he knew that the corpses were secretly transported by the water monkeys, but what made him wonder why the water monkeys did this, and what was their purpose?

Professor Zhang thought about it, but he was also puzzled, and when he thought of those subordinates who died tragically, he felt that it was his carelessness that hurt those team members, and while he was sad, an indescribable anger gradually rose in his heart.

He huffed out of the stone chamber and ran quickly towards the deeper part of the cave, he wanted to find the water monkeys immediately, and he secretly determined that no matter how precious these murderous creatures were, he would kill them all, or he would be sorry for the dead.

Later, he found several more identical stone chambers, but there was nothing in them, and on the way back, there were no more corpses blocking the way, which made him more puzzled, but he was more worried about Xiaohu's current situation.

Xiao Hu has been taken away for a while, and I don't know if he is alive or dead now, but in the back rooms, Xiao Hu's body was not found, which shows that Xiao Hu has a great hope of being alive. He was anxious to save people, so he was more excited, and in this cave with no end in sight, he moved forward quickly, but ignored the hidden danger.

When he turned a corner in a hurry, two water monkeys suddenly appeared in front of him, the situation was very sudden, Professor Zhang was not expecting it at all, just wanted to raise the gun to shoot, but did not expect that the other party was faster than himself.

Professor Zhang was flustered at the moment, and the nerves in his brain were almost short-circuited at this moment, he never expected that the water monkey in front of him would actually point a gun at his head! He muttered in his heart, could it be that the water monkey still knows how to play with guns? But looking at the posture of the two water monkeys holding guns, it is really not bad at all, and it can even be described as a standard posture of holding a gun.

It's incredible!

Professor Zhang thought to himself, even with the wisdom of a monkey, it would take a lot of training before he could learn some simple human operations, and this water monkey only learned to shoot after only a few fights with his own people, such a thing is simply too unbelievable!

But the facts were in front of him, and Professor Zhang didn't dare to act rashly, but secretly thinking about how to get out, and at this moment, a water monkey tentatively approached him, and grinned at Professor Zhang's submachine gun hanging on his chest.

Professor Zhang didn't understand it for a while, but he knew the reason for it the next moment, because another water monkey came directly behind him and unexpectedly ripped off the strap of the gun on his chest.

Professor Zhang realized that the other party was afraid of the weapon on his body, so he wanted him to take the gun off, but he didn't understand the meaning, so he came over and forcibly grabbed the gun. Why do they behave so closely to humans? Professor Zhang became more and more unable to understand the reasoning.

What's even more surprising is that the strap of the submachine gun is made of nylon rope, which is very reliable, and the water monkey just uses brute force to tear it off, you can imagine how terrible this power is, it is not something that ordinary people can deal with at all, if you fall into their hands, you will definitely die.

After the water monkey took Professor Zhang's gun, he planned to come up and escort him away, taking this opportunity, Professor Zhang secretly took out a grenade from his waist, and when the water monkey looked at the road ahead, he quickly pulled out the pin on the grenade, and then threw it directly behind him.

When the two water monkeys saw Professor Zhang's move, they roared and were about to attack, but when they raised their guns to Professor Zhang, they were attracted by the grenades emitting white smoke on the ground. They had never seen anything like this before, so they were naturally curious, and just as they wanted to pick it up to see what it was, the grenade exploded at that moment.

With a scream, the nearest water monkey was blown to pieces on the spot, while the other water monkey still had a breath left, and it seemed that it would not be able to die for a while.

Professor Zhang wanted to kill them all, but the half-dead water monkey was still holding a submachine gun in his hand, so Professor Zhang had to dispel this idea and continue to advance into the depths of the cave.

However, as soon as he thought of the water monkey's imitation ability, a sense of fear rose in his whole body, because he knew that there was still a water monkey that was not killed by the grenade, if this is the case, then the whole process of triggering the grenade just now, the other party will see it all, in case the water monkey tells its kind what happened just now, as long as they do more discussion and analysis, they will naturally understand the truth.

And the previous members of the diving team all had grenades on their bodies, if the water monkeys did the same and used their grenades against themselves again, wouldn't they be dead? As soon as he thought of this, Professor Zhang felt that he was in an extremely dangerous situation, the key was that he only had a military dagger and grenade left on his body, if the water monkey used a submachine gun against him, even if he had ten lives, he would definitely die.
