Chapter Seventy-Five: Interception Nets
Never give up until the end, that's the motto of our time. A belief that everyone who has lived through three years of natural disasters and the Great Leap of Progress, now you may well find these words disgusting, like the words of a hot-blooded fool. But for us, this sentence does not know how many difficulties we have been inspired to overcome.
Especially if we think that those of us who have experienced a lot of disbelief and know a lot of things that we shouldn't know, if we give up somewhere, we will really become a corpse that we don't know where, or we will not be found for hundreds or even thousands of years.
This statement is definitely not alarmist, at least not for ourselves. No matter how desperate the environment is, if people do nothing, they will only die faster, and even if there is a real possibility of survival, they will disappear completely. After going through so much, I think that the so-called possibilities are created through human actions, and if you don't do anything, there will be no other possibilities for anyone. This is the experience I have learned from decades of meteorological work.
I think we were in a system of underground water that I didn't know how wide it was, and if we were really waiting to die, I couldn't imagine where we would end up being washed away
Chen Zaihai kept waving his hand and yelling at something, which roughly meant that we should swim first. It does not follow or go against the direction of the current, but swims horizontally. I immediately understood his thoughts, no matter how wide the river is, it has an absolute boundary, and it can't be a sea, no matter how you look at it, it has no head. Whether it is a rock wall, a rocky beach, or an ordinary surface, we can find hope for survival. After expressing his thoughts, he took the lead to find a direction to swim up, and the speed was not slow.
None of the three people here can't swim, and it's not very difficult to cross this rapids laterally. It's definitely better than going down the road and waiting to die. The engineer and I had to hurry up with him, and at the beginning I found that it was much easier to swim than I imagined, and then I realized that Chen Zaihai had deliberately chosen this angle. He didn't swim directly in a direction of 90 degrees from the direction of the current, he consciously reduced this angle, and let the force of the current become his propulsion.
It's a bit of a gamble, and it's clear that we're going to get down the road a lot faster. If there were some waterfall not far ahead, it would be no different from suicide. However, if the underground river is not as wide as a joke, this method is still worth trying.
After all, I felt that I was still fast, thanks to the rushing water. It was pitch black all around, and only the miner's lamp in Chen Zaihai's hand could show us the way. If he chooses the wrong path, we will die with him. We swam like this for a long time, and strangely enough, I didn't find anything resembling the end until now.
What's going on? My heart sank gradually, and the heaviness almost took me into the depths of the water. It's not a joke, is it? Is this underground river really that wide? If we were looking at the speed we had just had, we would have swam nearly a hundred meters a long time ago. Why still can't you see the head!
What's even more terrifying is that I don't know if it's my delusion, but the more I get to the back, I feel the speed of the water flow faster. At first, we were able to cope with it relatively calmly, but now we feel like we are being swept forward by the river. The turbulent river was like a group of wild beasts out of control, rushing and colliding, and we were tragically swept into it.
Not good. This is really going to happen, and I know very well in my heart that the phenomenon of the accelerated flow rate indicates that there is really a huge gap in the eighty percent not far ahead! I can't see anything yet, though. But that waterfall is already very close to us
If we didn't hurry, we would all be washed down and eventually fall like a kite with a broken string and fall apart on the water. Chen Zaihai in front obviously also noticed the change in the flow of water, and the light of the miner's lamp flickered even more, and it seemed that she was speeding up.
At this time, I couldn't take care of the engineer next to me, so I could only keep up with all my strength. The anxiety in my heart is getting worse and worse, and I think if I don't act quickly now, I will be consumed by despair again in a while. When the time comes, I'll really wait to die
And with that little warrior's physical strength, I'm still worried about him. Thinking of this, I turned my heart to the sideways and completely focused on the light of the miner's lamp in front of me.
The sound of the water around is getting louder and louder, and the so-called flood beast probably means that, literally. I don't know how much I choked on my saliva, and the icy river was rapidly reducing our strength. And the temperature is a bit too abnormal, and I wonder how the river doesn't freeze. After so much intense exercise in such a river, it's not surprising that I have cramps now.
But I can't feel my hands and feet anymore, and even if I do have cramps, I can't react. We are like a group of death row prisoners who have been pushed onto the platform blindfolded, knowing that they will die, but we just don't know when. It could be the next step, or it could be the next step. To be honest, this kind of death heartbeat really doesn't feel like I want to try again.
After a few minutes of desperate struggle, we still didn't see any hope of survival. As far as the eye can see, there is black water all around, except for black water, which is like the Dead Sea!
After that, I felt the call of death completely, literally. I stopped as if I gave up and let myself drift along, at least at the very end of my life to ease me. Because not only did the water flow become surprisingly fast, but the sound became deafening, I could find through the poorly touched miner's lamp in Chen Zaihai's hand that the water splashed dozens of meters away. I could also clearly see that the huge amount of water was flowing down so lightly
It seems that the difference is not ordinary, and I have not heard any sound of falling water. Anyway, it's over, this time it's really over. In this case, the power of the individual is so small that it is meaningless, and we are now on one or two motorboats, and we will definitely not be able to escape this hellish fall.
I could almost feel the moment I flew out of the water, the feeling of weightlessness after that, the feeling of air running through my body at high speed, and finally the feeling of myself being crushed. Although I am really unwilling, why would I die in such an inexplicable place? What's worse is that I don't even know why I fell into this river! I was supposed to be in the canyon, but how did it suddenly become like this!
It's just a dozen meters away, and at our current speed, that's a few seconds. Add to that the time of the fall, and the rest of our lives will definitely not be more than a minute later. Having given up everything, I slowly closed my eyes and let myself slowly sink down, rushing towards the huge waterfall
But sometimes that's the drama, when I finally gave up my resistance, when I was about to fall off a cliff, I was suddenly hit with a huge shock. It was as if something else was holding me back, and the rushing water kept washing over my body, but I just didn't fall.
At this point, my whole body was sinking to the bottom, and I was not sure what was going on around me. Did I hit something? As soon as I opened my eyes, a hand grabbed my neckline and lifted me out of the water with all my might. I started coughing incessantly, and my back was leaning against something.
"How are you! Still alive? It was Chen Zaihai's voice. He seemed to be shouting desperately in my ear, thanks to which he was not drowned out by the sound of the huge flow of water.
"I'm alive for the time being! What's going on? Why didn't we fall? I wiped a handful of water from my face and yelled at him.
Now he was right next to me, looking a little collapsed, gasping for air. The lamp was still in his hand, and after listening to my shout, he shook the lamp in his hand. He pointed behind us with the other hand, and let me confirm it myself.
At this time, the water was constantly washing over our chests, and there was no trace of the engineer around us. I was a little worried about whether he was really killed. But we still can't protect ourselves now, and I don't have the strength to confirm his life and death. Looking at the light in Chen Zaihai's hand, I saw a large black shadow under a deep water.
This hit me no less than the fall of the second train, this thing was so long that I couldn't see the head of this thing just by the faint miner's lamp at this station! The shadow plunged deep into the river's forehead, and both sides spawned very far away, probably across the entire underground river. And we were stopped by this thing, and it seemed to have a lot of gaps, and countless streams of water flowed down these gaps, making a loud noise. Behind this thing was darkness, and nothing could be seen.
I looked at it with my hands, and it was stained with orange liquid, and a severe smell of rust water came to my nose. Wait, this thing is a huge iron net, huh? And now we are intercepted by a huge iron net
