Chapter 25: The Bottom of the Abyss
In the tree net of the abyss, I found the fat man in a coma, and I was besieged by unknown creatures, and at the last moment, I broke the tree net and fell into the abyss with the fat man on my back. Originally, I was sure that there was a tree net below to catch us, but the impact caused by the fall from a high altitude kept crushing the tree net deep below, probably because the weight of me and the fat man was too heavy, which caused such a result. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before the bones are crushed.
Falling into the infinite darkness in the dark, falling into the endless abyss in the abyss, death will take away the hairs you stand up at this time, take away the fear in your heart, take away the cold sweat on your body, take away your trembling body, so death is not terrible. However, I am now afraid of death, this fear is the attachment to life, growing so big, for the first time so frightened, because I have never been so close to death, experiencing that one foot has stepped into the gate of hell, and the other foot is about to step into the threshold of death.
Fear makes me lose my abnormal and distorted psychology, and I enjoy the fear of my body trembling deep in my heart at this time, and I hope that the cold will stimulate my vain pores to bring me chills, because in this way, it proves that I am still or, this is the extravagant hope of human beings for life, and the unwillingness to die.
The body hit the tree net again and again, and I prayed every time that I would stop this time, hoping that I would not continue to fall into the abyss, but I hoped that I would not look at me again and again, and I would not want to look at me more.
After another violent impact, there was a sharp stabbing pain in my knee, and I made a sound of pain in the falling air, and tried to bend my leg, but my knee hurt as if it was broken, and I secretly felt bad in my heart, it seemed that this leg was going to be wasted. And when I came back to my senses, I found that I only noticed the pain in my knee just now, but I didn't notice that since then, my body has not continued to hit the tree net, and I can't help but feel half cold, the tree net in the abyss under the ground seems to have grown to the end, and it seems that the tree net will not appear under the fall.
Trees have an end to growing, but the abyss under the earth is boundless, as if it has to go all the way to the depths of the earth's center, so that the fat man and I are really going to die in this endless abyss.
Thinking that Lao Tzu is about to die, and he is still a yellow virgin in his thirties, I can't help but sigh. I haven't lived a day before my wife and children have a hot kang head, so I just left, it's really not worth it, the more I think about it, the more aggrieved I feel, I just want to roar in the dark, and vent the depression in my heart before I die.
As a result, as I opened my mouth, I heard a voice beneath me, the sound of water flowing. I was about to open my mouth to roar loudly, but now I laughed out loud, "Hahaha", it is really a peak and a loop
The loud sound of hitting the water surface with a "poof" knocked me unconscious.
I was in a coma for a moment, and I was awakened by the freezing cold water of the river, and immediately struggled to swim to the surface. When my head came out of the water, I saw a large area of light like fireflies, flickering fluorescent, continuous phosphorescence, and the surface of the river and the ground in the distance, in a darkness, dotted like the Milky Way above the night sky, which was amazing.
By the light of the stars, I found that I was floating on the surface of an underground river, and at the same time, I also found that right next to me, there were countless corpses of black-haired eyeless monsters floating, almost covering the entire surface of the river, and it made people's scalps tingle to look at, and I hurriedly swam towards the river.
After struggling to climb ashore, I immediately put down the backpack on my chest, loosened the rope around my waist, and put down the fat man behind me, and in the faint phosphorescence I saw that the fat man's face was pale, his lips were dead and bloody, and his hands and feet were cold like corpses in a mortuary. My coat was put on the fat man's head to protect him from being unconscious and unable to dodge, so that he wouldn't hurt his head again when he fell, but now the coat is gone. I wrung out the soaked clothes in my backpack and draped them all over him, then lit a few candles beside him, and rubbed his body to keep him warm. But none of these actions are too significant, and the priority is to build a fire to keep warm.
So, I was about to stand up, but I fell to the ground, and there was a sharp pain in my left knee, and then I remembered that I had injured my knee on the way down, and all my energy just now was worried about the fat man's life or death, and now I feel the pain in my knee. I rolled up my trouser leg to check it, and found that my left knee was swollen as thick as my thigh, and now whenever I moved, I felt a piercing pain.
I didn't have a slats and couldn't put a plaster, so I had to take out the trauma medicine from my backpack, sprinkle some on my knees, and then think about picking up a few short roots to make a splint when I picked up the wood.
I slowly stood up against the dirt wall beside me, dragging my left leg, which hurt with every step, towards the river, and began to look for the broken branches of the tree that had fallen from above. I looked around at the glittering surroundings, the shore I was on was close to the dirt wall, the top of my head was swallowed by infinite darkness, there was an underground river at the bottom of the seemingly endless abyss, the scale was not too large or small, the other bank could be clearly seen by the eye, the side of the river flowing was obviously high, and the black and swarthy looked like a hole, I thought from there I should be able to get out, and I should be able to go up to the ground if I walked all the way up. But these are just my good thoughts.
There were some trees by the river that had broken their roots, but because they were soaked in the river, they were completely soaked, and it was difficult to burn, so I picked up a thick root, used it as a walking stick, and walked farther away.
The dirt floor under my feet was very damp and muddy, and what I couldn't understand was that only on cold, dry, sunny and windless winter nights would there be some phosphorescence floating occasionally between the mounds, which is often called ghost fire. But why is there a large area of fluorescent phosphorescence that gathers in such a cold and cold place, is there an endless "burial ground" under this muddy soil, but I immediately denied my own ridiculous idea, who would bury, no, should it be said that there is someone who can bury the corpse under this abyss? Who can have such ability? This is not something that can be explained simply by having enough to eat.
I searched the banks of the river in a phosphorescent light, and suddenly saw a black thing lying on the ground in front of me, obviously much larger than the black-haired eyeless monster I had seen before, and I couldn't help but think to myself: there are unknown creatures lurking in this dark and terrifying underground abyss, and it must not be a good stubble. (Not a good stubble: a dialect that refers to a person who is not easy to deal with, not an idle person.) )
After a long period of horrific death just now, the current Lao Tzu is not a fuel-efficient lamp. So I was furious in my heart, holding the thick tree roots I had just picked up in my hands, bent on my waist, and limped towards the bank of the river with a black shadow lying on my stomach, thinking: This ghost thing is only one person, lying motionless, maybe injured Yan zhòng. This is just right, taking advantage of your illness to kill you. I had a murderous intent and moved forward cautiously step by step. As a result, when I got a little closer, I almost didn't make a sound, and my heart said: His grandmother's white excitement is a lot. However, it was really shit luck.
It turned out that the dark shadow on the bank of the river, which I suspected of being a monster, was actually a fat man's backpack. When we fell into the trap, it was thrown out and disappeared. Unexpectedly, this backpack actually passed through layers of tree nets, fell into the underground river under the abyss, and was washed to the shore. I hurriedly walked over and picked up the fat man's backpack, the fat man's backpack contained guns and ammunition, so it was heavy and heavy, I limped and dragged the heavy backpack back to the fat man's side.
I first dried some of the short roots I had picked up on top of the candle flame, then placed them on my left knee, wrapped them in bandages, and used them as a stand. Then, I called for the newly retrieved fat man's backpack, and I took out the fat man's clean clothes from it and put them on for him. Why clean clothes? This is all thanks to my cautious behavior that is almost like turtle hair (Taiwanese dialect, meaning: mother-in-law, mother-in-law, calculating, not refreshing enough, and making others feel crazy. Character. Before I set off, I put everything in a plastic bag, one is to find loose items in the messy backpack, and the other is to prevent things such as matches, folds, weapons, etc., from getting wet, so I took the trouble to put everything in the plastic belt, and the plastic bag can be everywhere without spending too much money, maybe this inconspicuous thing can sometimes come in handy.
The fat man laughed at me impatiently, and if he knew about my behavior at this time, which made him recover his body temperature and survive, I wonder if he would be ashamed of the original ridicule.
When I was beaming with pride, I suddenly felt movement on the surface of the river, and I immediately gathered my backpack and looked at the river. However, there was nothing on the surface of the river except the dead bodies of floating black-haired eyeless monsters. I thought to myself: a certain flickering phosphorescent light made me look away.
Dark and gloomy, there is a floating abyss of ghosts and fires everywhere, and there is no need for any fierce beasts and monsters, and even the faint of heart can be scared to death. After a busy pause, I felt the wind blowing underground, and I couldn't help but clench my arms, for this abyss, except for the unknown or unknown, if people stay in this oppressive environment for a long time, sooner or later they will go crazy. But I forced myself to let my guard down and think of something happy to boost my morale. Eating enough is the best way to solve the tension, so I opened the backpack again, took out a bag of bread from it, and as soon as I took a bite, I immediately stuffed the bread back into the backpack, and then carried the backpack on my back.
Because, I just saw the calm surface of the river, and now it rolls, but the culprit that makes the river roll is the dead corpses of countless black-haired eyeless monsters.
