19. Crash
Everyone was shocked, and at the same time felt that there was no hindering force between the inertial dragging of their hands, and they were hesitating, and there was a loud rumbling sound that shook the heavens and the earth, as if the completely collapsed clockwork finally found a pipe to release the mechanical potential energy, and the bronze chains of uneven thickness and huge gear discs flew and bounced around, and the whole mechanism began to disintegrate and collapse in an instant.
Everyone was stunned, forgetting how to dodge. A thigh-thick bronze chain jerked down from the air without warning, smashing into the ground next to my feet, and the shaking of the ground under my feet shook me to the ground, and I saw a crack in the hard stone ground beside me, and I subconsciously curled up and didn't know who I was hugging. It was as if they were experiencing an earthquake, and the huge parts of the mechanism were whistling and flying overhead, and in the blink of an eye, dust and smoke were everywhere, the mining lights were dim, and the visibility was less than half a meter.
The hoarse shouts had been completely lost to the deafening surroundings, and I couldn't hear them, and the ground and the supporting stone pillars were violently shaken again and again by the huge bronze parts that flew up, and a few of us seemed to have been thrown into the pot, stir-frying up and down. What I didn't expect before was that the center of the collapsed mechanism had become the safest place, and most of the parts that were smashed everywhere fell on the rest of the stone chamber in different distances.
Curled up in the ground and didn't dare to move, the self-destructive collapse of the mechanism lasted for a minute or a century I can't figure it out, and when the surroundings calmed down, the dust began to settle gradually, and I could see a few people next to me in a blurred vision, and I couldn't help but feel the joy of the rest of my life. But before I could see the wolves around me, a series of sudden loud noises came from under my feet, the ground kept shaking, and I suddenly heard Gao Tong shout, "Oh no, this place is going to collapse." ”
Now I don't have time to think about how to react quickly, I completely subconsciously hugged my head with both hands, only to feel that the sky was spinning like a horizontal and vertical roll, and there was no pain from the heavy bumps on the body.
In a coma that I couldn't count how long it had been, I woke up choking on the cold water, coughing incessantly, only feeling my body flowing uncontrollably down the water, and a few seconds later my head hit the hard rock. I've experienced a lot of Venus, but it's the first time I've encountered Venus so much that it's almost brilliant hallucinations, and I raised my hand and touched my head with difficulty and was relieved, dizzy and dizzy, but also thanks to the hard hat, otherwise I would have to hit my brain all over the place.
My eyes slowly regained their sense of light, the miner's lamp was still on, and I felt a heart-rending pain as soon as I turned my neck slightly. I don't know if I hurt my muscles and bones, I didn't dare to move anymore, I lay quietly on the ground and shouted twice, no one answered, my heart was a little flustered, I gasped a few breaths, tried to move my hands and feet, secretly a little relieved, the feeling of hands and feet was still there.
I didn't dare to move my neck and felt that my whole body was bound, I twisted it unwillingly, and I still grinned in pain, but I could still bear it by gritting my teeth, and I increased the strength of the activity a little bit, and the pain gradually decreased, and I couldn't help but exhale a big breath, if the backbone was broken, I could only wait for death.
It was a few minutes later to sit up slowly on the cold ground, and the exhaustion and the pain of falling apart made me cry out "ouch", and before I could take a closer look around, my eyes swept away, and a black shadow on the left that was crawling towards me suddenly made me startled.
As soon as people were scared, they forgot about the pain for a while, and when they turned their heads, the bright lights of the mine flickered, and I couldn't help but shout: "Professor Zhang! ”
When I moved my hands and feet to Professor Zhang's side, I found that his face was so pale that there was no blood, and I hurriedly put my hands on his sides to help him sit up. My hands trembled, and I couldn't help but relax, and Professor Zhang was allowed to change to a flat lying position, and gasped for breath.
I don't know where he was broken, he encountered a series of fatal bumps, like me is lucky not to have broken tendons, my mind began to slowly clear, avoiding the fear of the worst, thinking in my heart that everyone must have fallen into the water in the end, but I don't know where the current has taken me.
When I looked left and right, I knew that it was stranded on a small rocky beach, a bit like the large reef beach on the beach, but it was unusually smooth by the perennial water. When I turned around, I was a few meters behind me with a slope of twenty or thirty degrees, gradually rising, and the end was black, and it didn't look like a dead end. Looking up, the top of your head is also rocky, ranging from two or three meters to more than ten meters in height. To put it simply, Professor Zhang and I were washed into a hidden cave by the water from the underground culvert that drove the machine wheel to a hidden cave of unknown depth.
The sound of running water around me was not loud, I could hear Professor Zhang snorting and panting on the side, and I looked at him, but I didn't know how to take care of him, it would hurt a person to break a bone, and I guess he had more than one broken bone. I thought to myself that I couldn't move his body indiscriminately, this was first aid common sense, and it was better that he could speak on his own and then see what to do. I couldn't avoid it for a while, and suddenly thought about whether other people would be a worse outcome, and I couldn't help but feel anxious.
It was difficult to stand up and walk a few steps, but fortunately, there were only skin injuries everywhere on his body, and the panic in his heart was slightly reduced, but he heard a cry from a distance rushing down from the upper source of the flowing water, gradually getting louder, limping to the water's edge to look in the direction of the sound, and saw a black figure on his back being brought by the current, although the speed was not fast, but his head was just straight towards this rocky beach.
I could only rely on a temporary reaction to move a few steps into the water and lean down, trying to grab the person with my hands and scoop him up, my brain thought well, but my body couldn't keep up, I was hit by a huge body, and I fell to the ground as a meat pad, not to mention, every inch of bone in my body seemed to be burning and hurting.
I couldn't say a word, but the man jumped to his feet, and after a few steps I saw his face, it was the big head that couldn't be killed or killed. "I'm cāo," the big head was soaking wet, panting but full of breath, "what is this place?" Hey...... Are you alright? ”
I said in my heart that your grandmother, gasped a few times before glancing at him resentfully, "You're all right, I was almost killed by you." ”
