Chapter 233: The river is widening

PS: PS: I've been squeezing time to write lately, and I'm too tired. Ask for comfort.

I could already see Buazon and Jack, but not close enough to see their faces, and as I looked at Jack, Jack craned his neck to look at me. I thought if he could see my face, he would be frightened by the way I looked.

But then I thought of one thing, and that was that this time I reunited with Jack, and Jack didn't show too much intensity. If he had gotten more and more amazing information from Ah Xiang, and he had been so calm, then this thing would have been too good to pretend. Could it be that Ah Xiang was really tight-lipped and did not disclose this information to Jack?

I didn't have much time to think about it because I was in a hurry, and once I climbed the steep wall, I didn't have the energy to think about anything else, I had to concentrate on my feet. Otherwise, let alone find a feasible route, you are afraid that you may fall into the underground river at any time.

Along the way, the two groups of us kept a visible distance, and Ah San and I rested a few more times, and at this time my heart couldn't help but be nervous and anxious. The pace of the back group was getting slower and slower, and I saw that Fumi had changed Jack's back, and it looked like Buazon really couldn't stand it. However, Jack did not give his backpack to Buazon, but put it on his chest and carried Fumi on his back. As if they were wary of the Laotians.

In this way, it was very difficult for Jack to walk with Fumi on his back, he was tall, and he walked staggeringly, and I was terrified to see it. You have to find a place to rest, otherwise, the back group of people may fall overboard.

Perhaps God favored us, and I finally found a place to rest. It is a stalactite pillar that protrudes outside the mountain wall. It is not high, and forms a certain angle with the mountain wall. Of course, it is impossible for us to climb the stone pillar to rest, because the top of the stone pillar is pointed, so it should be called a stalagmite.

I whistled to the back, and the glow stick on the back shook a few times to signal that I understood.

The angle between the stalagmite and the stone wall is very small, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, and it is V-shaped. We tucked the backpack into the seams at the roots, making it high enough to fit a person. Then put Fumi in it and lie down.

Ah San and I are better. After all this work, I just sweated. Jack and Buazon were miserable, lying on the stalagmite sun in an indecent posture, panting like dogs, and Jack looked at Fumi with even a hint of jealousy. It seems that there is no rest along the way. Both were tired.

This place can only rest at the corner between the stalagmites and the mountain wall. Ah San and I could only barely lean against the mountain wall at a slight elevation angle. The posture is awkward to stand, let alone to rest. However, the physical exertion of the two of us along the way was not unbearable.

I looked at Jack's tired look. An idea popped up in my mind. I've been thinking about the AK47 assault rifle in Jack's hand. This weapon must be the most powerful piece of equipment in our next operation.

Ah San and I were on the side of the stalagmite in the past, that is, in the direction of the future. In order to find a place to stand, I climbed quite high, almost as tall as Jack lying on a stalagmite. I reached out and shook the glow stick in my hand, but I couldn't reach Jack, maybe he was too tired, maybe he had his back to me, and he didn't react to the light of the glow stick.

I had to call him out, "Jack." ”

Jack turned his head awkwardly, and when I saw it, the corners of this guy's mouth were drooling, and he looked weak.

"Your gun is too heavy, let's change it, it will make you tired." I said to him with sincerity on my face.

I saw the corners of Jack's mouth twitch, and the saliva hanging from the corners of his mouth shook and pulled out a filament and drooped down. Jack's expression was odd, a little angry, a little depressed, and a little unbelievable in it. However, I was concentrating on getting the AK47, and I didn't look closely at his expression, but I just felt that his appearance reminded me of an idiom, salivating. What is he coveting?

"Yes." Jack rubbed the corner of his mouth on his shoulder and said, "But you're going to carry the backpack for me." ”

I nodded and said, "No problem." ”

Just carrying a backpack for him for a while can be exchanged for that AK47 assault rifle, which is a bargain.

Jack gasped and said, "I thought you were going to carry the Laotians for me." ”

I felt the corners of my mouth twitch too. "You're in better health than I am. You know, I have a condition in my back, at least the ligament is ruptured, and it's more likely a fracture. I can't do that. ”

I saw Jack twist his face. Then he turned back to stare at me, stared at me for a moment, and turned back again angrily. I patted my chest nervously.

This time the break was quite long, everyone ate something, and I didn't have much physical exertion in front of me, but I wasn't very hungry. However, I still replenished a little heat for the road below, and I felt that it would not be easy to carry two guns and two backpacks on the road below. Jack didn't hand over AK47 and other supplies to the Laotians, because he was on guard, and I couldn't have given weapons and important supplies to Ah San, who was the person I was most wary of.

Several times I wanted to ask Jack what information he had gotten from Ah Xiang and compare it to the situation in Lop Nur. But Ah San is by my side, I really don't want Ah San to listen to it, this thing is good at eavesdropping. I don't want the information about Lop Nur to leak out, and I don't want more people to get involved. Helpless, I had to hold back my heart.

My luck is a hundred times better than Jack's. Soon after I set out from here with two backpacks and two guns on my back, I found that the walls on both sides of the river were much wider, and there were few very insurmountable dangers, and in some places I could even walk head-on. When Jack and Buazon first carried Fumi on their backs, they had to lie completely sideways on the stalactites on the riverbank, and the two ways of traveling were completely different from the feeling of the two parties.

Although I doubled the weight, I didn't feel too much difficulty.

At the same time, there is no need for us to divide into two groups, one in front and one in the back, it will not affect everyone walking together, and two people can miss the place where they go. The river seemed to widen, too, and the light from the glow stick in my hand could no longer illuminate the other side.

For the second group break, we can already choose a very wide and flat place. Here, stalactites are not simply attached to the mountain wall, there are already stalactite pillars that grow independently upward or downward. Individual stalactite pillars are connected up and down to form a pillar that connects the upper and lower levels of the cave, as if supporting the cave.

The width of the river is more than 10 meters, and the light from the glow sticks can no longer reach the opposite side, but the flow rate of the river has slowed down significantly. There was a lot of wood chips on the riverbank, and I saw Buazon and Ah San consciously collecting wood chips and lighting a bonfire.

At this time, I felt the temperature drop a little, and when I put down the backpack, I could feel the cold on my sweaty spine. It reminds me of the icy underground lake of Lop Nur. (To be continued......)
