Chapter Twenty-Three: Jedi Rescue 01
The water began to muddy, the undercurrent surged, and in an instant I was swept right above the seagrass, and I found that the center of this undercurrent was just below the seagrass, and there seemed to be a huge cavity here, and the suction from the ground formed these whirlpools.
I wanted to grab or hook something to prevent myself from being swept into the seaweed, but there was nothing around me but seaweed, and when I saw that I was about to be swept in, I suddenly felt like my ankle was entangled in something, and a force was pulling me in the opposite direction.
In a hurry, I turned on the flashlight and looked back, Mom, it turned out to be the tentacles of the dragon's blood tree, and before I could react, the whole person was wrapped in a sticky thick phlegm-like thing.
It felt warm and slippery, and it was sticky, and my flashlight was thrown not far from my feet, and I wanted to reach over, but my ankle was hooked by the tentacle and couldn't move.
Suddenly, a large number of bubbles appeared around me, and the alarm of the oxygen cylinder suddenly remembered, I knew that there must be an accident, and at the same time, I felt my feet loosen, and the tentacles that hooked me were otherwise gone, I struggled to crawl forward, grabbed the flashlight and turned over, and almost didn't vomit.
Reddish-brown, a wall-like thing appeared, at that moment, I felt like I had drilled into a person's internal organs, the feeling of moving like a heartbeat, and the sticky film that was attached to it like plastic wrap, but far stronger than plastic wrap, and what was worse was that within the range of my flashlight, I saw at least four or five corpses, their clothes were clearly recognizable, but the person was obviously sucked dry blood into a dried corpse, plus it was wrapped in the transparent slime. That sense of sight is unforgettable for a lifetime.
Both hands and feet are completely exposed. The cold sea seemed to freeze the blood in my body for a moment, and I was almost standing there for a minute or two. No, I should say it's levitating, because I still have a thick layer of "plastic wrap" wrapped around my body. ”
The purple indicator of the oxygen mask has been lit, which means that the oxygen cylinder has automatically opened the backup compartment, according to what Jiang Yuan told me before, this BR series of oxygen cylinders, its spare compartment storage capacity has been newly improved, and it can last for about twenty minutes if it is consumed normally.
I try to minimize my respiratory rate. Buy yourself more time, and at the same time try to get your body out of this layer of "plastic wrap".
This was the first method that came to my mind, but I quickly rejected it, because this place should belong to the deep sea range, and if I took off my diving suit, I would definitely die due to low temperature.
At a loss, I saw that the soft reddish-brown wall, which made me sick to the point of disgust, suddenly lit up, and the white point of light was very obvious in this place. I didn't care about the nausea, I rolled like an egg and walked that way, and when I got there, I realized that the reddish-brown soft wall I saw was only the outermost layer. In fact, there is something else going on inside.
I reached out to get rid of what looked like a pig's intestine in front of me, and my eyes swept over my left ring finger. I secretly scolded myself for not being calm.
The base of this ring is machined, and the blade of the fingernail of the little finger is extremely sharp. It is hidden in the space of the base of the ring, in times of crisis. This blade can cut ropes of any material, including chains.
I struggled to break free of space and slashed open the gusset of the base, the blades glistening in the light of my headlamp.
After wasting a lot of effort, I finally cut a small hole, and this layer of "plastic wrap" is really tough, but no matter how good anything is, as long as there is a gap, it can be easily solved.
Soon, I broke free from the shackles of "plastic wrap", but before I could be happy, my hands were trapped again by the tentacles of the dragon's blood tree, I scolded and greeted its ancestors for eighteen generations, and my hands were not idle, I bit the blade with my teeth and began to cut the tentacles, every time I cut it, the tentacles will have black liquid spurting out, fortunately, this tentacle is only as thick as a finger, and it took some effort to see the result.
The white point of light flashed again, this time I saw it clearly, it was one of the equipment we configured when we went out this time, there will definitely be no more than five on the market, the main thing is that we have brought all five of these in this operation, one per person.
I'm not sure if the place where the flashlight was trapped was Zhang Yang or Qian Jue or Jiang Yuan, but either one was good news for me, at least I found the right place.
Carefully passing through the red "pig intestines" suspended in the turbid sea, they are all alive and very timid, and I feel that I have avoided them one after another, and some even dodge away immediately, and then curl up into a red ball of flesh, slowly attaching to the wriggling soft wall.
I didn't care about that, I just swam in the direction of the flashlight as fast as I could, during which I wondered why the dragon's blood tree was so quiet, it stands to reason that I had broken into its home, and even its body, but it didn't make any movement except for a few tentacles tied to me, such a "friendly treatment" puzzled my heart, but there was no answer.
The flashlight was hung diagonally on the edge of a pillar on the soft wall, and there were a lot of pale blue flocculents floating around it, so I quietly swam over, picked up a broken pottery shard, and then reached over to pick up the flashlight, and there was a small piece of soft steel wire left on the pull tab of the base of the flashlight.
I took a deep breath, the bubbles blurred my vision, I swam farther away with the flashlight, and sure enough, about five meters away from the flashlight, I saw a touch of blue, it was our camouflage uniform, the blue soles were very obvious.
"Qianjue."
My heart beat faster, because I saw him motionless, his whole body curled up like a baby, I couldn't see the heaving of his chest, I couldn't see his face, he was like a wax figure in that "plastic wrap".
"Qianjue, can you hear me? I'm Xiao Fang. ”
Qianjue's walkie-talkie was still flashing red after receiving the sound signal, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I took out the blade in the ring and began to cut this layer of "plastic wrap".
"Qianjue, wake up, it's me."
I was tearing at the mucous membrane as hard as I calculated my oxygen consumption, because I had already lost too much time.
After I tore off those mucous membranes, I found that Qianjue's hands, feet and abdomen were tightly entangled by the tentacles of the dragon's blood tree, and I still tried to cut it with a blade, but when my hand pressed the tentacle, my fingers seemed to be pricked by a few needles, I immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately pulled back twice.
Maybe it's because I alarmed this monster, the one wrapped around Qianjue's left wrist pulled back with a "whoosh", and at the same time, Qianjue seemed to be stimulated, frowned, and then opened his eyes slightly, and the moment he saw me, he didn't seem to believe it very much, and moved his lips, "How did I see you?" ”
While cutting the tentacle wrapped around his right wrist with a blade, I said, "You kid has a big life, it's your luck to see me, don't waste time, help quickly." ”
Qianjue also has a ring on his ring finger, after I helped him solve the tentacles on his right wrist, he himself took out the blade and began to cut the tentacles on his feet and abdomen, his movements were very fast, coupled with the tentacles of the dragon's blood tree had no power to resist, my rescue moved very smoothly, so smooth that my heart was hairy, and a pair of eyes kept looking around.
