"Lao Su, you have enough fun. Are you okay now? Just help me if it's okay. Chen Zaihai's wheezing sound could be heard in the distance.

I looked in the direction of the sound, and there was a flickering light of Chen Zaihai's mining lamp more than ten meters to my right, but there was no one around.

Where did this guy run again? I only hear his voice but I can't see his people. A moment later, I heard the sound of something falling into the water in a similar direction.

Fuck me! This guy can't dive, does he? I immediately ran in the direction of the miner's lamp. Sure enough, there was no one around, so I hurriedly looked into the water. Really! There was a place in the water where there was a constant splash.

Could it be that Chen Zaihai drowned? No, in my impression, this kid is very watery, is there something in this water that entangles him? Then the matter is serious, we must hurry up and save him!

Thinking of this, I immediately took off my shirt and prepared to jump into the water to pull him out. As soon as I entered the water, I felt a biting coldness. Damn it! Obviously, there are still places around here that are spraying hot water vapor! Why is this lake so cold?

This made me almost cramp, and I choked on a few mouthfuls of water in a panic. I put my head out of the water and took a deep breath to get myself up as quickly as possible. In the process, I inevitably kicked my legs all over the place, which made me mention something

Wait a minute, the water doesn't seem to be as deep as I thought, and what I just kicked seemed to be the bottom of the lake. When I saw that the water was so big in Chen's sea, I took it for granted that the water here was very deep.

Now it seems that the action of plunging into the water just now is too dangerous. If this is directly attached to the bottom of the lake, I will have to be stitched up by Talia again.

When I stood firm in the water, I found that the water had just reached my chest. And the depth of the water in Chen's sea seems to be shallower, so there shouldn't be any dangerous creatures in such shallow water, right? So what is Chen Zaihai doing there alone?

"Old Su! You're down to help, there are a lot of blind fish here! Ha ha! We've got our lunch down! ”

Ah, the splash is gone, and it is Chen Zaihai himself who is replaced.

He was holding the katana in his right hand and was constantly stabbing into the water, this guy didn't want to stick a fish, did he?

For a moment, I was worried about his safety, like an idiot. Now I kind of understand how Talia feels, and instead of worrying about him being in danger, I'm worried about the thing that makes him dangerous.

"Fuck, I thought you had an accident and came to take a look, but you asked me to fish with you? What do I take to intervene, hand? Do it yourself. "I don't have a good airway, nothing has made me wet." Lao Tzu will wait for you on the shore. ”

So I went back to shore and wrung out my clothes and put on my coat again. Ah, it's so cold, I didn't feel anything in the water just now, but as soon as the water on my body evaporated, I felt very cold.

Chen Zaihai didn't care about my departure at all, he was still fluttering in the water alone, this person was really energetic. Picking up the miner's lamp, I shook it a few times at the campfire in Taria, indicating that we were okay.

Then I sat down and waited for my clothes to dry. In this way, I was stunned for about ten minutes, and then I saw Chen Zaihai coming back with a katana like a victorious general.

If there weren't so many fish stuck in the knife, the picture would have been a little more beautiful

The blind fish in this lake is very peculiar, with a slender pink and transparent body, and you can clearly see the spine and internal organs in its body, like glass fish. Each fish on the knife has no eyes, and its elongated mouth is closed one by one.

It may be that there is a lack of food in the lake, but these fish are not big, each one is only about ten centimeters, which is about the same size as our old fried little yellow croaker.

I probably counted, there were about twenty in all, and the whole katana was crammed. Chen Zaihai, you really have the ability, how did you get the last few articles?

"Old Su, let's see how it goes. I don't know if I have lunch today, and even enough dinner tomorrow. Chen Zaihai said proudly.

I fooled around a few words, and then pulled him back with him soaking wet. There's not much to see here, but there's still no danger if you're near the lake.

There was no way to investigate in the middle of the lake, and we didn't have a kayak to cross the water, so we were asking for trouble when we went.

Talia by the campfire was surprised to see how many blind fish we had brought back. It seems that she did not expect such creatures to be found in this wonderful underground lake.

Chen Zaihai, who was red from the cold, ran to the bonfire, and I followed. When I asked where the materials for ignition came from, the engineers replied very simply, these were sleepers removed from the train tracks

After being baked by the fire for a while, I finally felt much warmer. As for Chen Zaihai, he could tell from his expression that this guy enjoyed it very much.

And Talia has been dealing with the blind fish that Chen brought back from the sea. These transparent blind fish, with no scales, are very easy to deal with, just dig out the internal organs.

Handled Talia handed the fish to everyone in large portions. "You can find a way to bake and eat it yourself."

With that, Talia took out her dagger, stuck the fish in it, and roasted it on the bonfire. Seeing this, I had no choice but to concoct the same method, and Chen Zaihai used his katana to skewer all the fish in his hand, like a kebab. The engineers were even smarter, and they gathered all the fish they were allocated to a sapper shovel and roasted them like burning iron plates.

By the time everyone had eaten and drunk, an hour and a half had passed. The rest of the blind fish, Taria, was grilled and dried by the engineers.

We retrieved the black rope from before and followed the thing on our way. For most of the rest of the day, the rope traveled around the entire underground lake, and occasionally some iron chains that had not yet been completely corroded were intertwined with black ropes, which seems to have been set up by the Japanese.

The things here are also the same as the black signal tower, very unevenly corroded, some of them have rusted so much that they can't see the original appearance, and some of them are just covered with a thick layer of dust, I really can't figure out what is going on.

But then I talked to Lin Yiru about this phenomenon, and she gave me a more acceptable answer.

"The degree of corrosion varies because of the different environments in which these chains are exposed." She explained. "Don't look like that, even if it's a small cave, the environment inside it can be very different. This difference can even create two completely different micro-ecosystems. ”

"You'd better not ask me what an ecosystem is." Lin Yiru glanced at me and said coldly.

"As for the chains, it's not that complicated. In a way you can understand it, it's the smell of sulfur. The lake doesn't smell like that much sulfur, right? I nodded. There are many ways to corrode steel, and the most common one is the red rust. The iron in that hole was clearly corroded by sulfur. The temperature is very high, the humidity is high, and the sulfur content gushing out from the volcanic activity makes it difficult to make stainless steel. ”

After that, for a long time, I thought that Lin Yiru was a specialist in chemistry

But even if we knew this little knowledge at the time, it wouldn't have had a huge impact on the whole situation. This is just one of the countless topics I've tried to talk to Lin Yiru.

Time passed so dryly, and several times in the middle I felt that the rope was simply going around the underground lake. I've been wondering if we're in another loop.

Several times Chen Zaihai tried to use the last-minute flares, but was stopped by Talia. This is our last straw, and we can't afford to waste it until the last minute, Talia insisted.

We had no choice but to follow the rope. That huge building is like an unreachable Penglai on the sea, no matter how we look for it, no matter how close it is, we just can't see it.

Deadly boredom tormented the nerves of everyone in the ranks, and the eyes were full of the same black ropes and the calm surface of the lake.

More than once along the way, I've carved various markers along the way to make sure we're in the loop again. Happily, these signs have not reappeared so far, and at least we are still moving forward, which is the only salvation.

I'm sure if a sign I made suddenly at this point would all of us jump into the lake and commit suicide.

If this were a story and I was a wicked storyteller, we would end up in another loop. This makes the whole story seem more dramatic and more engaging to the audience.

With the logic of ups and downs and the ups and downs of the plot, this is a good story.

Although what we have experienced until now is appalling enough. Eighty percent of all the storytellers in the old Beijing Sijiu City will not come up with this kind of development.

But this is a story that I have experienced first-hand after all, and the story here is not so dramatic. It's funny, all of us are going to die there.

We are all ordinary people, and we don't want to be omnipotent like the protagonists of those novels now. When encountering a crisis, there are generally no beauties or those "rich and handsome" who come to the rescue, and if they are damned, they will naturally die.

At the end of the rope was disappointing, a huge black shadow. We eventually made it out of the deadly Stone Formation, not far from a somewhat curved railroad track, and I don't know if it was the one we came from.

This is the huge building we have been wanting to approach for two days. Even with such a close look, we still can't figure out what this thing is for.

Trains are needed to come in for supplies, and perhaps some kind of more important production base. But what can the Japanese produce deep underground?

"Chiefs, this may be a power plant." The engineers suddenly came to a conclusion.

When we wanted to ask why we were thinking so, one of the engineers turned on the miner's lamp and shone it in one direction.

We looked at the light and said it was a power plant.

Under the illumination of the miner's lamp, we saw many thick and intertwined cables, as well as various large transformers that were full of dust.
