Strive against the stream. Sean frowned, and after a while, he commanded the caravan like this, but everyone had no objection at all, and when he heard the command, he pulled up the trailer and got back on the road, walking upstream along the riverbank.

"Why the countercurrent?"

Shan was puzzled, "Isn't it possible to cross the river directly if you go down to a place where the flat water flows down?" ”

"There's no slower place to go down."

Sean didn't look back, he walked and looked at his notebook, "Thirteen years ago, when the flood was diverted, I walked underneath...... Five people died. ”

So the four members of the security team stopped talking.

"Where will you go up?"

There was silence for a moment, but Garcia couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, "I have also walked through the business road with you a few times, and I have never seen you take everyone through the upstream ......"

"Take it and see it yourself."

Sean seemed to have finished reading the notebook in his hand at this time, and while looking up at the road, he pinched the corner of the notebook and handed it to the back.

"Traveler's Notes......"

Garcia raised his eyebrows and took it, and the page that greeted his eyes was the one that the old man had just read.

"Approximate topographic map of the source river......"

The young arranger looked at the few words leaning on the top of the note, and looked over word by word.

Underneath the title is an abstract map, with a few thick lines representing the flow of the source river, arrows representing the direction of the flow, and various red and black markings on both sides and on the lines.

"We're in that black circle in the middle now."

The old man pointed to a black circle in the middle of the line and said, "The safe zone, no matter how the source river is diverted, it can't be touched - but it's only theoretical, you see the place where the source river camp is also in the black circle...... The thick lines, which overlap in some places, represent the approximate direction of each diversion of the sourceless river. ”

Garcia saw a new bold line in the black circle on the paper, and listened to Sean explain that it was the location of the river diversion - just past the camping area that was originally thought to be an absolute safety zone.

"Then I guess the one above...... The little black circles on the left and right sides of the line are where we're going? ”

Garcia looked at the map of the notes and couldn't help but guess.

"Yes."

The old man couldn't help but cast a look of appreciation, but at the moment the appreciation was out of place, so he followed Garcia's words and said, "It's a stone cliff." ”

"Stone cliffs? One here and one on the other side? ”

"Yes, Stone Cliff. When I was very young, my father walked there with a caravan...... The place where the stone cliff is located is a stage difference in the river slope, and the source river flows under the bottom of the two stone cliffs......"

"That's the canyon."

Garcia replied.

"Gorge?"

The old man raised his eyebrows, this was the first time he had heard such a title.

"I haven't seen it either...... It's just that when I was a child, I listened to Mr. Hyde tell me that between the two mountains, there is water flowing through it, and it is called a gorge. ”

"That's it."

Old man Sean laughed, "Hyde's kid is quite good at names. ”

"Hmmm......"

"Gorge"

The name was given by Mr. Hyde?

Garcia scratched his head, forget it, don't talk about the old man's slip of the tongue, it's important to hurry.

…… The bank of the river is not very steep, but it is always uphill.

The old man and the four people who only needed to walk were not very difficult, but the men in the caravan towing the cart always felt the gentle slope of the upward slope.

The men dragged the cart up and stopped, and after a few hours, they also walked up a lot.

Garcia kept walking along the riverbank, and he saw that the gap between the river and the bank was slowly increasing, but it was not that the water level had fallen, but that the river bank had been climbing higher.

At first, I squatted down to touch the water with one hand, but after half an hour of walking, it took more than half an arm to touch the water with the tips of my fingernails.

After an hour, the surface of the water was no longer touched, and even the sound of the water was a little humming from a distance, and the flashlight shone downward, and the surface of the water shimmered more than an arm's length.

The caravan marched for three hours.

After three hours of walking, I couldn't clearly shine on the water with a flashlight, and I could only vaguely see a sparkling light far away under the light.

The source river is still there, but it is not in everyone's field of vision, what appears in everyone's field of vision is a slope with no boundless mouth under the light shining in the distance, and the strange rocks on the slope and the stone pillars scattered everywhere connecting the dome and the ground.

Stone cliff, arrived.

Between the two stone cliffs is a three-person wide crack, and under the crack is a gorge.

"Here we are."

Sean stopped the caravan two feet from the cliff.

The light shone through the cracks, and the darkness was dark and bottomless.

"Here ......"

The mountain stood on the edge of the stone cliff and looked to the opposite side, the distance between the two sides was not much less than it had been three hours ago, and it was still the position of three people, but it was not possible to swim here as before.

"Jump over?"

Blair glanced at Old Man Sean uncertainly, "We professionals don't have much of a problem, but what about the goods......"

"That's what I'm here for."

Old Man Sean's expression became serious, "When I was in the town, I actually thought about the fact that the river might be diverted again, so I thought of the stone cliff...... Because no matter how it is diverted, the river flows from between the stone cliffs...... So, this is the best place to solve this diversion problem......"

"So the old man asked us to come over this time to ask us to help...... Trying to figure out a way out of the gorge? ”

Garcia glanced at the cliff where he couldn't see how deep it was, and faintly heard the sound of water below, and then the young arranger twitched the corner of his mouth.

"It's impossible!"

When the little fat man heard his team leader say this, he immediately jumped to his feet, "The distance between the three people, it is impossible to make a way through the stone cliff in a short time!" ”

"Old man, you're a little difficult for us."

Garcia glanced at Raymond, who was helping him speak his mind, and slowly shook his head while thinking that the little fat man's outspoken personality would change.

Old man Sean did not reply immediately, but slowly paced to the stone pillar connecting the dome and the ground not far away, stroked the smooth surface of the stone pillar, and said something that had nothing to do with the questioning of the four members of the security team, "You know, inside this slope, there are such stone pillars everywhere - big heads, small bodies, small heads and large bodies, standing up to the sky and the earth, broken in two. In the lower reaches of the river diversion, most of them break off and fall to the ground or are washed away by the water, but they reach the top of the stone cliffs...... Most of the stone pillars are like this huge pillar that I can't hold on one hand, with the dome above my head and my feet on the ground, giving people a sense of security......"

"What do you want to say, old man?"

Shan raised his eyebrows and looked bitter, "Shan, I didn't learn well when I was young, and I couldn't understand the way you cultural people talk around the corner." ”

The old man glanced at him, and continued to touch the stone pillar, saying, "Look at this stone pillar, it is three people high, higher than the highest dome in the town above the ground...... What if we tie a rope to it? ”

"Rope ......"

Garcia touched his nose and thought, "What do you mean, old man, to make a rope that is strong enough and long enough for us to slide from here to there?" ”

"It's worthy of being a student trained by Mr. Hyde."

Mr. Sean nodded appreciatively.

"But what about the other side? Who is going to bring the rope to the other side and tie it to the pillar on the other side? ”

The mountain is a lot of problems, but on the other hand, it will also reflect his thoughtfulness.

"Stupid, who said you have to tie a rope to a post on the other side to cross the river?"

Blair, however, did not miss any opportunity to mock his partner.

"Oh? You're smart, you have a way? ”

The mountain stiffened his neck and fought back.

"Hey, have you ever heard of a phrase? There are always more ways than difficulties. ”

Blair's eyebrows fluttered.

"I've heard another saying, which is that a man-eating beast can't speak."

Mountain yawned and picked his nose.

"Tsk......"

Blair smacked his lips, forcibly suppressed the urge to fight with the mountain who had been carrying the bar with him, turned around and bowed to Mr. Sean, "Old man, I think I understand what you mean, and this task should have been done by the powerful rippers, so let me do it." ”

"Oh? What are you going to do? ”

Mr. Sean stared at the big man with interest.

"It's very simple, tie the rope to the stone here in advance, and let the strong ripper muster up the strength to throw it to the other side."

"Here, rope."

A thick bundle of thick rope flew in front of him, and it was about ten meters down at a glance.

Looking up, it was his own captain, Garcia was holding a fist-sized explosive bomb, throwing it in his hand, and talking as he threw it.

"Tell me, which one are you going to fry? Is this one on my left hand side to be held horizontally by one person, or is it this spindle on my right hand that is small at both ends and big in the middle? ”

"The one that's about the same length at both ends, the spindle-shaped one, I'm afraid I'll throw it over later, and the rope will come off it."

"Okay!"

Garcia smiled heartily, half-narrowed his eyes, and threw the explosive bomb in his hand at the top of the stone pillar on his left hand where the top of the stone pillar connected to the dome.

"Boom-"

A burst of echoes and smoke.

However, it was of no avail, and the pillar was still standing there, except for a small piece of it on top.

Everyone around looked at the erroneous young arranger, and Garcia's face instantly turned red.

"Tsk...... Mistakes, mistakes, two more. ”

Garcia pretended to laugh calmly twice, and turned his hand to find two fist-sized bombs again.

I tilted my head and thought about it, and then I felt for a third one, and smashed it towards the pillar again.

There was a series of explosions, and the stone pillar finally fell.
