12. The Water of Ran's Relic
The icy water rushed up the first time I fell into the lake, and because someone pulled me, my whole body began to sink endlessly, like a heavy diving bell, and my mind after a little lucidity after running at high altitude became faint again. The ripples under the water came through my eyes, and I just watched it all weakly.
I remember that the bag on our body can be automatically inflated when it encounters a certain pressure, but I can't care about its effect, but I just saw that Wang Lei below me was still sinking, and the backpack on his back opened like an umbrella, and the umbrella kept rotating. It was a whirlpool, I struggled to raise my head to look at the unconscious fat man, and suddenly saw a strong suction force tear me down, and my neck became more and more swollen as if something was going to drill out, I didn't care about the centrifugal force of the rotation just choked my neck.
I saw a figure in the confusion, it was the person I remembered to know my father, his left hand held my hand, walking on the wide aisle of the pedestrian street, the aisle was empty, calm like a neighborhood after the disaster but it was unusually clean, I smiled and pointed to every storefront on the street, suddenly another shadow appeared on my left side and grabbed my hand tightly, I turned my face sideways but saw only a back mother? Family? Who am I? My family, I can't die yet, I suddenly realized where I was, my spinning force in the water was gone, and I began to feel a little swollen, which was a sign that I had been floating for too long, but there was a spicy smell in my nostrils, and I couldn't help but take a hard breath anymore.
But I immediately floated up with the inflatable backpack, and I remember a few big words at the mouth of the pool: "Don't drink Tan Zhong water." "And thinking about the dead people and dead animals outside before, I immediately guessed that there was something abnormal about this Tan, and I couldn't care too much about it, just struggled to go upstream.
But at this time, the water exploded a fierce splash, I saw a black behemoth on the water surface refracted by light and shadow sank, it was the wild man, my pupils shrank, it seems that this water is really unusual, anyway, now I can only try to avoid drinking water in a breath, and finally I rushed out of the water, looking at the bright sunshine, I took a big breath.
Without sitting for a moment, I immediately took out my backpack and took out the gas mask and oxygen cylinder inside, the fat man had purchased this to prevent the encounter with poisonous gases in the tomb, or the space was closed for a short time, but God knows that it came in handy now. I didn't dare to delay too much, so I pieced together and dived into the water again with a mask, but fortunately there was an inflatable backpack, and several of them didn't sink too deep, and I could see their shadows when I used a strong flashlight.
Speaking of this kind of backpack, it will automatically inflate as soon as it encounters the pressure of water, and I look at the wild people who have no shadow, and I really can't imagine what they would do without this thing. But the only thing that makes me uneasy is their current situation, it stands to reason that they are all people with the surname Shui, but why did they become like this as soon as they entered the water? Could it be that the reason for drinking water is still the reason? So? I think of the dead people on the shore, could it be that they are also dead?
No matter, let's rescue them first, I sped up, grabbed the shoulder straps of their backpacks, and began to pull them up little by little, but after pulling a distance, I found that this was not at all, I let go of Wang Lei and floated up with the fat man first, and it took a long time to finally put the fat man on the shore, and immediately I used the same method to pull Wang Lei out.
Taking a breath I began to observe the two of them, there was a snort, eyes closed, nothing about the pain, the chest cavity fluctuated and fluctuated, and the fat man actually snored? "Damn, aren't you asleep!" I was speechless for a while, but immediately I felt that something was wrong, two people asleep at the same time, and underwater? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it, but thinking of this, I immediately walked to the waterhole and looked at the corpses that had not yet decomposed, and sure enough, they did not have any scars but were naturally rotting, and suddenly a terrible thought came into my mind, and I slept dead.
Thinking of this, I shuddered suddenly, and hurriedly ran back and shook the fat man and Wang Lei's body frantically, but there was no reaction to helplessness, now I was really scared, and looked at the skinny corpse next to me, no wonder even the savage refused to touch him, it turned out that there was no flesh at all, just like a dried corpse, and a few ribs were concave and convex under the skin of a person who was almost suppurated.
This water is so weird, I have never heard of water that can make people sleep forever, or does this water create an environment? Unlikely, but why did that Italian come looking for this thing, damn he must have a solution, what to do? What to do? Am I going to carry them back like this? No, it's too unsafe, the antidote and the antidote, I think crazy in my mind that I say that there must be an antidote within three steps, what's there? I only saw the lush grass and trees by Tan Shui, I didn't care about anything at this time, I could only think of a come out and do a out, I pulled out a bunch of all kinds of grass and put it next to them, while squeezing out the juice in the grass for the fat man, while pouring the small grass with mineral water for Wang Lei, the time passed little by little, ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes.
Gradually, hope was worn away by the passage of time into despair, and I looked at the two people on the ground with a feeling of powerlessness all over my body, what should I do? If only the old man were here, I thought.
"Wait, old man?" I muttered, and suddenly remembered something," said the fat man, and said that his phone had the old man's number in it. I hurriedly took out his small Huawei mobile phone from the fat man's clothes, found the old man's phone, dialed the number, and beeped a few times, and a casual voice rang out, "Old man!" It's me, the fat man, and something happened to them. I didn't wait for him to speak, and immediately said into the phone.
"What's wrong? If you can be contacted by phone, it means that you are still on the ground, right? ”
"We were in the deep forest, and we came across a pool of water, and drinking this water will put people to sleep."
"Wait, you speak slowly, I'm a little noisy here, you say it again, what is it that makes people sleep?"
"Water." I held the phone and yelled, "It's water!" ”
"Water?" The old man exclaimed, "How is that possible, do you know?" This was clearly said to the people around him.
At this time, I heard a lot of noisy noises in my ears, and I was upset. "What's around the waterhole?" That's when I heard a voice ask.
"There's grass, all sorts of things, it's useless!" I hurriedly said, "I gave them all food, but it didn't work at all." ”
"What about inside the pool? What creatures there are. ”
"Fish!" As soon as I was reminded of this, the strange fish in the pool, I immediately described it on the phone.
"Ran Relic Fish, it's Ran Relic Fish, this is Ran Relic Water!" At this time, the voice became louder and louder, probably snatching the phone from the old man's hand, and he said to me, "This fish is a kind of fish recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that can make people not have nightmares, but for thousands of years people have been thinking that this statement is too useless to make people have nightmares?" To put it bluntly, who knows who will have nightmares at night? So why is this fish being recorded? So I've always suspected that there is another thing with fish that can give people nightmares, and I have never been able to figure out which one it is, so now it seems that it must be water. ”
"So what should I do?"
"Don't worry, you can see if they react after a while, and whether they will have some symptoms of nightmares, such as changes in facial expressions, or dream talk."
"What if it's like you say?"
"Feed them the raw meat of the fish, I don't know the amount of food, you can do it!"
As soon as I heard his words, I didn't have time to thank him, I threw my phone aside and went into the water to catch fish, and soon I saw a fish walking slowly at a reef under the water, perhaps because I thought there were no natural predators, and I was indifferent to this guy when I saw me, this fish has a fish body, a snake head, and six legs, so he walked on a rock, I cautiously swam to it, and grabbed him immediately with my hand, but who knew that the scales of this fish were very slippery, and I took it off as soon as I touched it, I don't think I knew much about the situation before, but when I caught it like this, any creature reacted.
There was no way I could only watch it swim to the depths of the pool, gritted my teeth and had to follow, but the more I swam down, the more I felt wrong, and a strong sense of uneasiness made me stop in the water, I looked at the fat man equipped with an electronic watch that could measure the depth, it was almost 100 meters, and the bottom was still bottomless, I took out a strong flashlight from my pocket, the water below was still pitch black, impossible! This is only a big pool, and it is more than 100 meters below and can even be a little deeper, but the wild man I saw before has sunk and disappeared, and there is not even a splash, could it be that this waterhole is leading to the underground world?
It occurred to me that the Italian was looking for a waterhole, and the water in it came out of the ground, and it didn't belong to the strange water on the ground. Is that what you mean? Then the space below may not be the size of a waterhole, I weighed it for a moment or turned back upstream, who knows what else is unknown? If my fate is given here, they may really have no hope at all.
But fortunately, I actually caught a relict fish in the process of floating, which made me very happy, and immediately surfaced, and the oxygen mask on my head was not taken off, and I directly cut a small hole in the fish with a knife, and was about to feed it to the fat man, at this time I calmed down and saw that the fat man and Wang Lei had begun to make some expressions that seemed to face fear.
"Nightmares, really nightmares! Then that's right. I thought in my heart, and hurriedly fed a small piece of fish meat to the fat man, and then fed another piece to Wang Lei, but somehow, they ate the fish pieces and still looked the same, still frowning, and the fat man even shouted in horror in his dream, "Don't kill me, I say everything, I tell you to wait for the entrance of living hell, don't kill me, don't kill me!" Then he shouted, "If I don't die, I promise that everything about you will be witnessed by history, and you will never witness history over time." When the fat man said this, he gritted his teeth and spoke in a heart-rending tone, and even I could see his teeth biting out blood from his mouth.
I thought to myself, what kind of person provoked him!
I didn't have time to take care of this, so I threw away the fish in my hand and immediately called the old man, who seemed to be waiting for my call, and as soon as he answered it, he said to me, "Try to make the fish into soup and feed them the soup, so that it will be easier to absorb." ”
Without a word of nonsense, I immediately took out all the pots and pans from the fat man's bag, and I didn't expect to actually use them.
1 hour later, I, an otaku-level character, actually cooked a pot of fish soup, and it didn't matter if it was good or not, I poured it directly to the fat man when it was cold, and after a while, the fat man sat up and spit out the soup in his mouth, "Who fucking gave Lao Tzu to drink urine, it's so fucking disgusting." ”
