Chapter 110: Rising Water
I put the noose around my waist, and then I went into the water with my equipment bag on my back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe icy current swayed my body from side to side, and the raft was pushed directly to the rear, clinging to the stone wall, and I don't know when it would be overturned by the current.
The rope was stretched straight in the water, I dragged this thing, trying to lean my neck upstream, the heat on my body was long gone, the feeling was really bad, the cold invaded the bone marrow, the shoulder did not heal, and the bruises that had fallen out on the rocky beach before, and now I was soaked in cold water, although it was not too cold, but the damp breath went straight down the skin to the cracks of the bones, not to mention what it was like.
Who knew that I had just entered the water, and I had swam only more than 20 meters, and the current suddenly swelled, and at the same time, the water was bubbling and blistering. I was startled, thinking it was some big fish, and I wanted to speed up, but my body was unstable due to the sudden surge of water, let alone moving forward, and it was quite difficult to stabilize my original position.
The gurgling blisters continued, but there was no such thing as a big fish as I thought, but the water level in the dark hole rose rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon, there was only a head of distance between me and the top of the cave.
My heart was pounding, I thought I could swim out of the water, who knew that I had poured blood mold for eight lifetimes, and the water level in the dark hole had skyrocketed, according to this momentum, whether I jumped or not was a death, and if I didn't go out, I would have to be a water ghost in this water.
It was about the human stress response that worked, and at this moment, I used all my strength, and with all my strength, the scabbed wound on my shoulder was cracked, and I didn't feel any pain, and I had only one thought in my head: leave before the water level completely flooded the place!
In order to prevent being swayed from side to side by the impact of the current, I simply swam to the right side of the dark hole and swam forward against the right wall.
It worked, relieved me a lot of pressure, and immediately increased my speed.
There is a scale on this rope, and there will be a copper ring for every meter, with positive and negative numbers engraved on it, so I can judge my position very accurately according to this rope. The whole dark hole can be explored at a little more than fifty-three meters, and at this moment, I am in and out of a depth of about thirty meters, although the water level is rising fast, but as long as I hold my breath and rush out at the current speed, there should be no problem.
But the person was unlucky, and I drank cold water and stuffed my teeth, and I only thought about not drowning, so I tried to swim out with all my strength, but I didn't care about the wound on my shoulder. As the person's attention shifted, the pain decreased, and the cold and intense water I soaked in, so I didn't notice the fractured shoulder injury and the blood coming out of it at first.
It wasn't until a school of palm-sized, round-headed, fanged fish swirling around me that I realized that the blood on my shoulders had brought these things in.
I know this kind of fish, and I have seen it in the streams of the Yunnan-Burma jungle, which is a relatively fierce freshwater fish, which eats everything and is not picky, so it also eats human flesh and belongs to a kind of piranha.
These fish are small, form schools of fish, and tend to hunt in groups, but the ones I saw in the jungles of Yunnan and Burma were not that big, and those fish were no bigger than the palms of children's hands, but here they were the size of an adult's palm, and the teeth looked sharper and sharper.
As these things swirled around me, my heart pounded.
Which is more painful, drowning in water or being bitten alive by these fish?
Frightened by these piranhas, the strength in my hand was suddenly relaxed, and the whole person was washed back by the current, and the twenty or so meters that I struggled out of were gone in an instant.
Exercise!
It's no one else this time, it's God, I think God likes to play with me very much, if God is a person, I must have dug its ancestral grave in my last life, otherwise it won't let me have a good time?
Pushed back by the current, the back of my head hit the stone wall, and the water was now up to my chin, and the piranhas rushed towards me again.
At that moment, I immediately unloaded my equipment as a weapon to block these piranhas, but I could only block what I could see on the water, not in the water, and after a few waves of the equipment bag, I felt a few bites under my body, calves, thighs, and waist, all of which were attacked.
The water was getting higher and higher, and it was almost up to my nose, and I had to raise my head, and the swaying water would drill into my nose from time to time under the agitation.
This posture of standing upright in the water, with my body being bitten by a fish, and my neck looking up, made it difficult for me to breathe, and I subconsciously used one hand to help my neck, which was completely straightened because of the upturned head.
At this moment, I touched the dagger at my waist, and the constant pain in my body and the fear of being completely submerged in water made me feel the urge to wipe my neck directly. After a long experience of bloodletting, I really don't have a sense of fear of killing myself by wiping my neck, but greed for life is the instinct of living creatures, and this thought just flashed in my mind, even if I knew that I might die tragically in the next minute, I was not willing to give up the chance to live in this minute.
You never know how precious life is until you are truly in a desperate situation.
Eventually, the moment came, the water completely submerged the entire dark hole, I took a deep breath, held it in my lungs, and the whole person was completely immersed in the current.
When the light hit the water, I could see this group of piranhas, there were not many of them, about 20 or so, much less than the schools of fish I saw in Yunnan, but these 20 fish, it was too easy to bite me to death.
I was wearing outdoor clothes, a hard-wearing and hard material that made it difficult for piranhas to bite my body, so when my neck and bare face sank into the water, they all rushed towards my head as if I had been instructed to do so.
Frightened, I withdrew my hand from the stone wall to avoid being bitten and only my skull was left, and the undercurrent kept pushing me down and pushing me deeper into the cavern.
I had to give up on a raft after the rock wall was so low that I was stuck in the water, but at this moment, after the whole person was photographed in the water, I noticed an amazing phenomenon.
God a hundred times, this stone wall blocking my progress turned out to be a gourd mouth.
It is like the middle piece of a gourd, convex, and then protrudes into the water, creating the illusion that the entire dark hole is tilting downward. In fact, when I swam through the water and crossed the convex stone wall, the second half suddenly opened up, and my whole body suddenly emerged from the water.
Before I had time to experience the surprise of life, the fierce water changes pushed me to continue walking deeper. The rope was still tied to my waist, so it was pushed for about 40 meters, and the rope tightened, and I was not pushed deeper again.
In the light of the headlamp, I looked at this dark hole, it was very large, very open, and most importantly, there were shallows on both sides of it, and I didn't have time to look at the rest, because those piranhas surrounded me again, and I had to borrow ropes, and struggled to lean to the side, and climbed up the shallows with all odds, and after getting rid of those piranhas, I couldn't even move, and when I reacted, I looked down at myself again, and I was almost covered in blood.
It's not particularly thick blood, it's diluted by the clothes of **, and it's wrapped in a layer of light blood, it is estimated that if someone suddenly sees my shape, they must think that they have encountered some kind of terrible ghost who is asking for their lives.
Lying down in the shallows of the dark hole, I barely sat up and surveyed my surroundings.
The power of the headlamp is not too great, and when I look up, I can't see the bottom at all, but it is reassuring that I found that there are bats in this hole, although I did not see them at all, but when I looked up, I could clearly hear the sound of bats squeaking and flapping their wings. The presence of bats proves that the second half of this dark cave leads to the outside world, and even if I can't go back the 'same way', I won't be trapped here.
With a glimmer of hope, I tried to find some people in the shallows, but there was water in the shallows, and even if there were, there was no way to keep them.
Deep down, I was somewhat aware that natural stays and others might ...... I really can't come back.
I patted my face, I hypnotized myself, I want to see people in life, I want to see corpses in death, don't scare myself if I don't see corpses, so I stood up and planned to go out.
When I stood up, I found that I was shaking all over, the stimulation of blood loss, injury, and cold water made people's bodies reach a limit, and I took two steps to support myself, thinking that I could grit my teeth and get out of the predicament as I had done countless times before, but when I took the third step, the muscles in my body were as if they were suddenly withdrawn, and I couldn't pull out my strength at all.
With a thud, I bent my legs, fell to my knees and fell to my knees, my eyes blackened, and I spun around and fell into the shallows.
In the last moment when I passed out, a thought flashed through my mind: this time, will I be able to survive the death like before?
