Chapter 32: The Qulam Station (I)
The water is slowing down under your feet, which is a very dangerous sign that the rain outside is decreasing or even stopping.
Zhang Hao's rapid marching style of walking made me a fitness expert a little unbearable, and I trotted all the way to follow him for a long time, during which I wanted to ask him where he was going, but I was afraid that he would ignore me and find embarrassment, and the words finally swallowed when they came to my mouth.
Passing through a narrow passage, some rotting wood floating told me that there were several wooden doors here, and that some traces of the past were still on the walls on both sides.
When Zhang Hao walked to the middle of the passage, he suddenly looked up, and I subconsciously looked up, it was pitch black, and after staring for a long time, I found some unusual places.
Twinkle and twinkle is very much like the starlight ceiling in the dance hall, of course it can't be this here, but what will this twinkle thing be, I thought in my heart suddenly thought of a kind of thing, when I was in school, I went to Shandong to play, there was a naturally formed underground canyon, at that time this place had not been developed into a tourist scenic spot, in this canyon there is a place called the underground fluorescent lake, the underground water is about two meters deep, there are some rare fish living in the water, but this is not the most precious, It is called the Fluorescent Lake because of the countless fireflies that surround the entire underground lake.
Zhang Hao said: "Do you see the things on it? ”
I let out an "um", "See, it's a firefly." ”
Zhang Hao snorted lightly, "There can't be fireflies in this place." ”
The feeling of heat on his face, the heart said Could it be that he has eaten too much compressed food recently, and his brain is getting more and more stupid, how can there be fireflies in this place.
Seeing that I was silent, Zhang Hao glanced back at me and said, "This is the chemical dye on Zhang Yang's clothes." ”
I immediately understood, and reached out to hand over the rope in my backpack, "This is for you, you go up first." ”
Zhang Hao shone a flashlight on me, then on it, looked at me with a very incredible look, and then said word by word: "So high, you come." ”
I was almost scratching the wall, awkwardly wrapping the rope around my waist and silently wading forward.
This passage is not long, I silently counted the number of steps I have walked, it is estimated that it is only about fifteen meters, the exit of the passage is a large pool, the water under our feet is constantly flowing into here, but this pool does not look so simple, because its water level not only does not rise, but continues to fall.
The miner's lamp in my hand flashed a few times, I thought it was a lack of battery, and when I was about to change the battery, I found that it was not my lamp flashing, but something kept appearing around the miner's lamp, blocking the light of the miner's lamp, creating an illusion of the miner's lamp flickering.
I put on my gloves, put the miner's lamp on a big rock, where the water flow is very small, it will not pose any threat to it, my body shrunk in the dark shadow to observe, Zhang Hao quietly appeared behind me, pointed to my shoulder with his finger, pointed to the illuminated place next to the miner's lamp, I noticed that on the big stone under the miner's lamp, something was slowly squirming.
I couldn't see whether it was white or gray-white, the flesh was very strong, a bit like the squid sold in our vegetable market, I wanted to go over to see it clearly, but I saw that the thing suddenly jumped from the water and rushed towards me, I subconsciously used my hand to block, but what I caught was some broken pieces, which were slippery and greasy and disgusting.
Zhang Hao's short sword was horizontal in front of my nose, and the distance between centimeters made me subconsciously touch my nose.
"Hurry up, we must get up there before the flow stops."
Zhang Hao's words made me suddenly realize one point, that is, there were originally some things in this pool, but they were afraid of water, because of the rain, the water level here rose, these things were all hidden out of self-protection, and now the rainfall is less, and the water level of the pool is gradually decreasing, and at the same time, these things are gradually awakening and returning to aggression.
I turned on the Aurora flashlight, which I had been reluctant to use, and through its long illumination distance, I saw that there seemed to be an upward staircase at the other end of the pool, the lower end of the staircase submerged in water, and the upper end submerged in darkness.
"Over there." I focused the flashlight beam on the opposite step,
Zhang Hao observed for a while, then suddenly turned his head and asked me, "How long does it take to run 100 meters?" ”
"What?" I looked at him.
"How much?" This question seems to be important.
I thought about it, I was a very poor student in sports in elementary school, and I skipped half a semester of physical education class in middle school, high school, and college
Zhang Hao's sharp eyes and the flashlight in his hand hit me, I blinked my eyes and said, "13 seconds 9." ”
"The things in the water have suction cups, and you can't let them suck your feet, so you have to run as fast as you can."
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he stepped on some stones that emerged from the water and jumped to the opposite side, under his signal, I tied into my trouser legs, tightened my backpack, hung the miner's lamp on my waist, and held a laser flashlight in my right hand, I knew that I didn't have Zhang Hao's good skills, it was impossible for me to step on these stones two meters apart, I found a relatively smooth way for myself after visual inspection, shouted a slogan to myself in my heart, and then ran all the way to the opposite side with a scream from overhead.
My first reaction when I stopped was to look up, "Whose voice?" ”
Zhang Hao's face was solemn and said, "It's not our people." ”
I suddenly thought of the person pretending to be Qian Jue and Jiang Yuan, "Is that them?" ”
Zhang Hao took the laser flashlight in my hand and looked up, "The top of our heads is covered with a thick layer of sand, because of the rain, this layer of sand is still safe, and after the water in the sand layer is evaporated, the fine sand will slowly fall, and we must rush to the post station before the sand layer sinks." ”
I said, "Is the Qur'an station up there?" ”
Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "Of course not, but there is only one road to the Gulan Station, and Zhang Yang left a code along the way, indicating that they are still safe." ”
I scratched my head, looked at the plank road spiraling up above, and suddenly remembered what Jiang Yuan once said to me, he said that the Gulan Station is connected to yin and yang, but it is not simply the ground and underground, but there is another meaning.
There was another scream, this time the voice was different from the one just now, it should be two people.
Zhang Hao raised his head suddenly, and the hidden weapon in his hand shot instantly, and then I felt a very heavy object fall from the sky, and splashed after falling straight into the water.
I held the miner's lamp and looked in the direction of the pool, a black figure was struggling in pain in the pool, while the gray-white mollusks were constantly devouring the man's body, in the struggle, his clothes were torn, and I saw a mulberry leaf-shaped birthmark on the man's wrist, although small, but very obvious.
"Publicity." While I shouted at him, I also dragged Zhang Hao desperately, "It's Zhang Yang, save people." ”
Zhang Hao grabbed me by the neck and dragged me back, and I was almost thrown by him on the steps behind me, "That's not Zhang Yang, go quickly." ”
With that, he grabbed me by the shoulders and lifted me up and walked up the steps, saying as he went, "It is impossible for someone from the concentration camp to be easily hit by me with a stone." ”
Zhang Hao turned off all our lighting equipment, and in the dark, we walked like a fly under the guidance of the fluorescent marks left by Zhang Yang along the way, during which we would hear screams from time to time.
