Chapter 288: Earthquake?

PS: PS: Ask for support on Monday!

The way I looked at Jack suddenly changed.

When he first saw the dam, Jack suggested that he want to see the other side of the dam. Instead of fulfilling his wish, I went to the other side alone to see and saw a huge cold world. It should be more accurate with what I feel, because I don't see anything but darkness.

I think he's made up such an incredible reason now because he wants to go to the other side. Frankly, I haven't decided whether or not to let him know what's going on the other side of the levee. The other side of the embankment gave me a strange feeling, not because it was cold, but for some other reason, a strangeness that made me feel that it was another world.

I looked at Jack. "Would you like to go to the other side?"

Jack said expressionlessly, "Yes." ”

"Unfortunately, it doesn't satisfy your curiosity. Our immediate priority is to find a way out and the Laotians them, not to explore, and I can tell you that there is nothing over there, only darkness. ”

After that, I picked up my shoes and put them on the fire to roast. Of course I was at ease, I didn't lie to him, I didn't see anything. It is even less possible for him to move on his own, and without my help, it is very inconvenient for him to move, especially in the cold water.

"Far away?" Jack pointed in that direction again. "The sound of the water is there."

I shook my head and didn't look at him or the direction he was pointing, but focused on my baked shoes. "You can't walk on your own."

This is how people get along, as long as you are strong and tough, your opinion will play a leading role, of course, your opinion must be convincing, not nonsense. This is the case with Jack at the moment, not because his injury makes his opinion unimportant, but because his advice is not convincing. And I immediately judged his true purpose.

"You're going to regret that decision." Jack put down his hand. Pick up your shoes and put them on the fire to roast.

I was secretly relieved to see that he had compromised so quickly. Jack is a very assertive man and an adventurous spirit, as can be seen by his two solo actions in the valley. My attitude played a very important role in getting him to compromise so quickly. Sometimes it's also important to be pretending.

After a moment of silence, I suddenly remembered when I was in the valley. He ran away in a panic in front of the orange ribbon of light alone. I didn't have time to ask at first, but then I encountered too many things, and none of them were more terrifying than the orange-red light band, so I became numb and ignored that thing. It's a good excuse to ease some of our antagonisms, and I don't want to be too stiff with others in this situation.

This time we sat very close, and I touched his knee and said, "Tell me what you encountered when you were looking for Buazon, and all we saw was an orange-red ribbon of light, and then you led us away." What is that? ”

Jack's eyes lit up. The topic seemed to arouse his excitement. But the excitement was fleeting, and Jack immediately shook his head again and sighed imperceptibly.

"Yes, I saw a bunch of weird stuff there, weird and scary."

I didn't see the horror in Jack's face, but a sly smile on his face, as if he was recalling something very funny.

"They glow orange like fireflies, of course. It's a super firefly, it's so big. ”

said. Jack dropped a shoe and gestured to me with one hand. I looked at it and thought it was inaccurate.

"Two-thirds of the size of this hand. I use the term fireflies to describe them just to show that they emit light similarly, you know. ”

Jack looked at me with his eyes until I nodded in acknowledgement.

"They're not fireflies, they're ugly. It's wicked. ”

Jack's mood changed a lot at this point, and his tone suddenly went from being low with excitement. It seems that I remembered something unpleasant.

"It's a good thing they're afraid of water, otherwise... I escaped from underwater. But the good fortune seems to have come to an end. Jack ended the conversation in this way.

The atmosphere seemed to be dreary again, and I quipped, "It's not your style to make a taxidermy." ”

Jack didn't laugh. Just grinned. "I'm alright, let's go." As he spoke, he began to put on his shoes.

Jack's attitude changed quickly, and I couldn't keep up with his pace a bit. The most important thing is that he can put on his shoes and go, and I have to take care of everything, like tidying up the backpack, dealing with the campfire, etc.

Instead of extinguishing the campfire, I picked it up on the AK47's bayonet and used it as a torch. Fish oil is hard at low temperatures, so I made it look like a big candle and stuck it in a bayonet as a torch without any problems. It's just that sometimes it's annoying to drip oil, and I have to be careful not to get burned.

The light of the fish oil torch is much brighter than that of the glow stick, which allows us to turn off the flashlight, and we don't have many batteries, so we can save a little bit of it.

"Which way are you going?" Jack put his left hand on my shoulder and asked indifferently.

As long as it's not going to the other side of the dam, Jack doesn't seem to care. Of course, I knew that Jack meant that I should choose a direction, whether to go upstream against the current, or to go to the other side of the cave wall first. Because there doesn't seem to be much space here, you should be able to walk to the cave wall soon.

I pointed in the opposite direction of the underground river. "Go over and see. I would like to know the width of this side. ”

There really wasn't much room here, and Jack and I quickly walked to the edge of the hole. The dark gray rock wall stood like a wall, standing in the darkness, and the one-eyed flashlight did not reach the roof of the cave when the one-eyed flashlight was turned up to the high beam. The humidity is higher and colder, so my torches not only serve as lighting, but also as warmth.

I shone my flashlight in the direction of the underground river again, and I could see the bank of the underground river very vaguely, and the distance should be a hundred meters away.

The butt of the AK47 was against my stomach, the body of the gun was standing diagonally upward, and the torch on the bayonet was shining brightly on the rock wall. I looked to both sides, and the distance was moderate, and when I walked in the middle, I could see both sides, both the bank of the underground river and the side of the cave. If the Laotians and Vietnamese had run here, I would have found them.

"Let's go upstream, it should be getting warmer, it's too cold here, there's nothing to start a fire yet, they won't come here. Hopefully they will find food. ”

With that, I extinguished my flashlight, held Jack with one hand, and walked upstream.

I sensed something wasn't right. The width of the river bank is too small, much smaller than the other side. On the other side, the width of the river and the width of the river bank widen at the same time, and on the side of the underground river, not only can we not see the edge of the cave, but we may get lost if we want to go to the edge of the cave. In the beginning, when we did not cross the river, the width of the river bank was wider than it is now. It's so perverse.

I thought about this question as I walked, but I couldn't find the answer.

"Was there an earthquake?" I suddenly heard Jack say.

I stood still and felt it. "No, don't be surprised."

The cave was as quiet as hell, and there was no sign of movement at all.

"Then how did the ground move?"

"What's the move? I don't feel it. "I shouted in anger." Aren't you standing well? ”

"I didn't feel it either. But I saw it. (To be continued......)
