Chapter Seventy-Two: Mutation
(Assi, every time I enter the writer's backstage, I have to type a verification code, I'm devastated, really.) )
The lake is particularly cool at night. Despite the wetsuit keeping my body warm, I shivered as I felt the coldness of the lake.
I looked around in the water and saw the signal light on Ali's waist. This little girl is quite fast, but the county has been in the water for a while before me, and judging from the distance of the current signal light, she has swam at least ten meters away.
It is very dangerous for a person to get flustered while diving. One of the most obvious is that oxygen will be consumed more than twice as fast as usual. I closed my eyes and steady, opened my eyes and swam past Ali. At the same time, I also felt a large number of water ripples coming from all over me. It seems that He Tao and they have caught up.
After chasing Ali's signal light for nearly five minutes, (in fact, in the water, especially when diving at night, people in absolute darkness can confuse the concept of time because of their sense of fear.) Actually, we only dived down for less than three minutes) Ali in front of her suddenly stopped. At the same time, the signal light she tied to her waist changed from solid to flashing. She's telling us that there's something ahead of us and that we're not going to get closer.
I was stunned, paddling with both hands to maintain my balance and hang about twenty meters above Ali's back, waiting for her next instructions.
After waiting for almost three minutes, I noticed that the traffic light was still flashing. In other words, Ali seems to have encountered some problems, which are difficult to solve for a while.
I thought about it, unhooked the searchlight from my waist and turned it on, wanting to go over and help. But the lake water was blown up by explosives, and then it was stirred by the whirlpool formed by the drainage channel, and it was so turbid that it was impossible to see clearly. Even the highest brightness of a searchlight could not penetrate this level of water.
At this time, He Tao swam over and asked me what was going on. But because the visibility under the water was so low, I could only see the other person's gestures when I was almost close to him.
Underwater sign language communication is like the wolf smoke used to call the police in ancient wars, which can only convey simple meanings, and as long as it is a little more complicated, there is no way to convey it.
I made a "come with me" gesture to He Tao, and then, regardless of whether he understood it or not, I pulled him and swam towards Ali.
The water is clearer near the bottom of the lake. At this time, through the illumination of the searchlight, I saw a building that resembled a temple. It's just that most of the building has collapsed, and only some ruins are still standing at the bottom of the lake. It seems that Ali's explosives were installed in this vicinity.
I fixed the searchlight to my head and went to see Ali. But it doesn't matter what you see, Ali is gone. The signal light that was originally tied to her waist was now only hanging on the roof of the underwater building.
I was a little surprised, and I said what was going on, so I quickly pulled He Tao over and pointed to the signal light for him to see.
He Tao hadn't reacted yet. But when he saw the signal light hanging on the roof, he was stunned, looked at me, and made a gesture to float. Meaning let me go up first.
I shook my head and said to myself that time was running out now, so I should hurry up and see what the situation was. There's no way Ali can't disappear for no reason. But I couldn't communicate with my mouth in the water, so my face twisted in a hurry, and a large number of bubbles gurgled out of my mouth.
He Tao probably saw what I was thinking, nodded at me, and then turned around and turned on the signal light tied to his waist.
All down.
He Tao whispered a light to it, and then pulled me towards the roof with Ali's signal light.
The rope holding the signal light in place is cut. I realized it as soon as I saw the traffic light. But what I don't understand is why Ali is so good, why cut the rope? Did she want to enter the mausoleum by herself? That's not right. If she really wanted to go in alone, then why did she bring us people down?
I was still thinking that the people who were hovering above also came down. I could clearly see the look of surprise on their faces when they saw the building at the bottom of the lake. However, when they saw me and Tao standing on the roof, they also swam over very consciously.
One of them was missing. He Tao gestured to these people.
I saw that they were all expressionless.
He Tao glanced at me, frowned slightly, and made a gesture:
The mission continues.
But just after gesticulating, Ali silently floated up from the building beneath our feet.
The first time I saw Ali was first joy, followed by anger. The heart says how you didn't come according to the original plan.
I glared at Ali, trying to make her read what I meant from my expression. But I suddenly noticed that Ali's expression seemed to be a little wrong. This expression is not so much fear, but more of a bewilderment.
I changed to look at Ali with a puzzled expression, and said that you should be able to understand this expression, right?
Ali looked at me, then at the others around her, and finally raised her hand to take a look at it.
I know time is running out. My heart said.
Ali reached out and pulled me over, then pointed at He Tao and them, and finally used her searchlight to shine at the bottom of the lake in the distance, and made a gesture to go that way.
The meaning of this series of actions was too complicated, and He Tao didn't understand it, revealing a puzzled expression. However, the pheasant on the side understood, and pulled He Tao to beckon the others to swim towards the place pointed by Ali.
I just wanted to swim along, but I didn't expect to be grabbed by Ali. I was stunned, looked back at her, and asked her what was going on. But Ali didn't reply to me with a gesture, but pulled me into the building at my feet.
What is this for? We've been down for so long, and if we delay any longer, we won't have a chance when the lake will be spit out again.
I pulled La Ali and pointed at them and Tao. Meaning how not to keep up. And He Tao and the others obviously noticed that Ali and I didn't follow, and were waiting for us in the distance, and a searchlight was shining in our direction.
The mission continues.
Ali picked up the signal light and played a set of light words, and then pulled me to dive towards the bottom of the lake.
At this time, I was also a little anxious. But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that Ali should not be the kind of person who can joke at critical times, so I also followed her and dived down.
More than half of the building underfoot had been blown down, and a small house resembling a side house remained. If this kind of small house is in the countryside, it is either a place such as a kitchen or a latrine. But if you think about it, this little girl won't take me to the bathroom, right?
The material used to build this underwater structure is bluestone bricks. The surface looks like it has been corroded by water all year round, but the inside is still very strong.
After entering the small hut-like room, Ali pulled me through a side door. After entering the side door, another side door appeared, and I was pulled in again.
What the hell is my heart, triple gate or what? But when Ali pulled me through the third door, I realized that it was a huge space. It's kind of similar to the feeling of a rural hall.
Ali pointed to the wall in the middle of the hall with her searchlight and motioned for me to look. I noticed what seemed to be inlaid on that wall. So he swam over, came closer, and used his hand to remove the mud that had been attached to it.
After the mud mixed in the water gradually settled, I saw four big words: Zude Liufang.
This is the family's incense. My heart said. Looking down further, there are still a few words on the incense that I rubbed out: Benshi: Huang, Wei, Wu
I didn't see the back self clearly, but these surnames in front of me, how did I feel as if I had seen them somewhere.
