I've had a glimpse of Jack's fully automatic watch. The dial is specially treated high-pressure tempered glass with high fluorescent brightness, which can be used as a glow stick in the dark when there is no lighting. The depth of the dive is not even comparable to that of my broken watch.
But now, the compass above the dial doesn't shake normally. I turned the dial a bit, and the north hand was moving with the dial, rather than specifying a specific direction. Whatever the reason, Jack's compass failed. If, during the period of time he led the way, he followed the direction determined by the compass, then we have lost our way.
Jack could sense the problem from my face and words. He snatched the watch, looked at the dial for a while, and suddenly showed a frustrated expression on his face, and burst into a foul mouth, lifting the watch and making a throwing pose. But he didn't fall, and cursed angrily as he brought the watch to his wrist. It seems that he also cherishes this watch.
"I'm sorry, it looks like we're lost." Jack's expression was frustrated, but he couldn't see any real apology. "What to do, we have to determine the direction."
What to do? Every now and then, ask me some difficult questions. It's like I'm Du Niang.
The only thing that can orient us is the underground river, and I don't know how much space there is, but I don't think it's too big for us to reach for a while. But the problem is that in our current situation, it is difficult for both of us to explore mentally and physically.
Then there is the question of the direction of exploration. If we choose to explore an underground river or the other way around, we will come to the end in a short time. Either walk to the underground river or run into the edge of this underground cave. But if we choose the direction or reverse direction of the underground river, then we have to go all the way to the end of the underground river or upstream to figure it out. And at the moment, choosing which direction to choose is like rolling the dice.
I was reluctant to set the aperture of the cyclops flashlight to the minimum. This way the irradiation distance is the farthest. Then slowly turn your body. I wish we had the devil to go to the edge of an underground river or a cave, otherwise it would be difficult for us to determine the direction, and it would be a big problem to decide what to do next.
In the suffocatingly dark space, the light of the one-eyed beast's flashlight shines far away, and the scenery in the aperture is spectacular and similar, and there is a sense of déjà vu. But I know. We haven't been to this place before, and the familiar feeling is due to the fact that the stalactites in the cave are similar. Even the colors aren't much different.
After turning three hundred and sixty degrees, I extinguished the bright flashlight and sat down with my back to Jack.
"Yes, we're lost. We must find the underground river as soon as possible, or we will die of thirst. Rather than rolling the dice to determine the direction, I prefer to go by feeling. I raised my hand and patted Jack on the shoulder, drawing his gaze to him, then pointed in one direction and said, "I feel like the underground river is over there." ”
I sensed Jack looking in that direction. But he didn't respond to me. I twisted my neck back and saw Jack's blurry face, with deep guilt and despair on his face. At this time, complaining will not solve the problem, the most sincere apology will not save us, and negative emotions will make us more desperate. I don't want him to survive with negative emotions, and I don't want this emotion to spread and affect me.
We were still sitting back-to-back, and it was hard for me to turn my head to look at him. My neck is about to turn 180 degrees. I couldn't stay in this position for too long, so I had to turn my head around. Poked him with his elbow and said, "Tell me your opinion, at this time, we can't have a disagreement, we must unify our opinions before acting." ”
I heard Jack sigh softly. "Your feelings should be more accurate, listen to you."
Jack's tone was decadent, and I had never seen him feel so unconfident.
"But I'm afraid I can't go with you to explore the way in this state. I'll stay here, and you go find the way. ”
I stood up after Jack said this. They went around to him and said, "Don't separate, act together." I don't have the strength to look back for you. Even if I choose the wrong direction, we will both go wrong. ”
Then I pointed to my nose and said, "I'm the boss, I'm in charge." ”
Jack looked up at me in surprise. There was confusion in his eyes. Maybe he didn't understand why I was carrying him with me.
In this case. It would be easier for me to go out and explore the road alone. However, if I leave alone, whether I find the underground river or not, the necessity of going back to Jack is low. Coming to this point in the underground cave, the hidden danger has gradually surfaced, and I don't think that Jack's state can deal with the danger that will come at any time. To leave him here alone is to give up on him.
Maybe Jack could have done that, of course, when he was running away from the big bat, he chose to give up on me the moment he thought he couldn't save me. I didn't blame him for this, I even thought that he made this decision normally and rationally. But I can't do it, I can't do it, knowing that to leave is to give up a life and leave. Is this personal values or nature? I can't explain it either.
I stood across from Jack and stared down from a great height until Jack nodded and agreed with my point of view, and then sat down across from him. I held my glowing flashlight on the ground, and a not-so-bright pillar of light shone into the air. Then I took out the bullet pouch and magazine from my backpack, and the two of them silently pressed the bullets against each other.
The rate of fire of the micro-rush is very fast, and the consumption of bullets is naturally high, and after filling these three magazines, there are not many bullets left in the bullet bag. I checked the ammo level of the AK47 again, and luckily, we didn't use the AK47 much along the way, and it still had enough ammo to launch a charge or repel a charge.
Without food and water, and without fire for heating, rest loses its true meaning. We have to set off before we have the physical strength to explore the path, and in the absence of a campfire for heating, the low temperature also consumes physical strength. After I filled the magazines of both guns, we set off. The direction is what I feel like is the side of the underground river.
Both backpacks were on me, and Jack only had one on his chest, his left arm around my neck, but most of the weight of his body was on me. However, it's also less labor-intensive than carrying him behind his back, and I'm okay with that. The two of us were like two escapees, staggering through the rocks and ravines of the caves.
I can't guarantee that I'm always going in the direction I was supposed to go. Because we have to constantly go around stalagmites, stone pillars, and cracks in the ground, and we have to constantly correct our direction, I can only make sure that our direction does not deviate significantly. As for how many small deviations there are, only God knows.
Gradually, I became less confident in my feelings.
When I felt that Jack weighed a thousand pounds, I asked Jack, "How long have we been walking?" ”
Jack flexed his left arm, and his left hand on my neck was bent right in front of me. The luminescent dial is exceptionally clear. When I looked, I had been walking for six hours.
At our pace, six hours is really not very far, and it is impossible to tell if we are going in the wrong direction. But these six hours have almost exhausted our physical strength, and we must stop and rest for a while.
That's when Jack suddenly said, "I stepped on thunder." ”
Your sister. I felt my hair blow up. This is even more unbelievable than stepping on ghosts.
