PS: Have a great weekend everyone.

I'm going to take advantage of it not sinking and drag it to the dam. The surface of the dam is lower than the water surface, and it is possible to drag it to the dam while it is still soft when it is just dead. And the water on the dam flows to the other end of the dam, and whatever there is on that side, there will be no life. It's hard for me to believe that life could have existed in those extremely cold conditions, and even if it did, it could only exist under a bottomless dam. In this case, the water with the smell of blood, flowing to the other side, should be safe for us.

When I went down to the dam I could see clearly, it was a huge fish, and the most terrifying thing was its mouth, which was big enough to swallow me. It's not that the fish is so big that I can't see the head and tail, but it's severely out of proportion, and the head is very large, taking up nearly half of the body, a bit like a catfish.

I didn't have time to look at it closely, so I dragged it up the dam with all my might. The hardest part is to put its head on the dam, which is the largest and heaviest, and has already begun to sink. It was the most difficult part, and I even ventured into its mouth. It was easy to drag its head up, and with the help of the current, I dragged the big guy to the middle of the dam.

At this time, I was not only exhausted, but also soaked. I immediately took off my clothes, and it was colder in wet clothes than in naked. Digging open the belly of this fish, the fishy smell and the stench came to my nose, and I arched in without paying attention. What attracted me was its temperature.

Before it cooled down, I cut off a large chunk of its subcutaneous fat, which was a chunk of plate oil, an absolute high-calorie food. I'm not going to use it as food, though, I'm going to use it as fuel to light a fire.

I climbed up the river bank naked and startled Jack. He could see me busy down there, but he couldn't see what I was doing.

I was covered in blood and made him stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you injured?" ”

I shook my head. There was a flashlight in my mouth, and a large piece of fish oil was tied to the other end of the rope, and I had to drag it up quickly. I couldn't spare my mouth to talk to him.

Jack saw the piece of fish oil I had hung up, got on it and took a bite. "High calorie, good stuff. With it, at least you won't freeze to death or starve. ”

I was afraid that he would eat too much and have diarrhea, so I hurriedly told him that there was another one below, and this piece was used to light the fire.

When Jack heard this, he immediately said, "I'll light the fire." You get some more, and we'll bake and eat it. ”

I gasped and nodded. If you treat me as an outsider, like a donkey, you won't give me time to catch your breath.

I jumped down and cut a piece of meat on the back of the fish, which weighed more than ten catties, tied it to a rope and dragged it up again. My body temperature dropped so quickly that I didn't dare to stay down there for long. Jack had already lit a fire when he came up.

It was impossible to ignite the oil directly, so Jack lit his shrunken T-shirt as a fire. The fire smells bad, not from fish oil. It was his torn T-shirt. However, compared to freezing to death, this stench is tolerable.

With fire, grilled fish, and hot water, Jack and I gradually became human. We even washed the stinking clothes, and finally stopped suffering from the stench.

The fire was on the riverbank, but it wasn't an underground lake below. It's a. Jack and I sat facing each other on the ground, with a fire in the middle. I was facing the direction of the underground lake. In another underground lake, I have encountered something even more terrifying, and I have suffered a lot of losses, which has left me with lingering palpitations. Here, I was still cautiously watching the movement of the underground lake.

When my stomach was full, I didn't feel a deep sleepiness. It's just that the mind and body are a little lazy. Jack and I were baking clothes while we had a discussion about what to do next.

There is no doubt that crossing the river is our top priority, and it should be called crossing the lake at this time.

Judging from the appearance of this flood dam, this should be the end of the underground river. The other end of the flood dam is on the other side of the river. Wading from the dam to the other side is much easier than swimming over. The pressure on my heart to wade to the other side was beyond Jack's imagination, and I was afraid that I would walk to the other side and see a hole, and I could not guarantee that I would not pass out.

But I also knew that I had to go there, even though there was great danger. That's fate.

I can't let go of the two Laotians, the chances of them still surviving are already very low, and Jack and I officially brought this point up this time. Jack had no objection to my suggestion to go across the underground river to find the Laos and Vietnamese.

In fact, there is another key factor that makes us have to go to the other side of the underground river, and that is that there is no way out on this side. We need to try our luck across the underground river.

Fish oil is very resistant to burning, and it is almost smokeless, like a giant smokeless candle. I asked Jack to dry the leftover fish on the fire, which is also a method of dehydration. Then I went down again and cut a larger piece of fish meat and a piece of fish oil.

We have to prepare some food, not only for us, but also for the Lao and Vietnamese who are lucky enough to be alive, which will save their lives.

The fish is cut into strips, skewered with a bayonet in front of the AK47, and grilled on a fire, and cooked quickly. We are surrounded by enticing scents.

I think if there is danger, something else attacking us, it should appear now. The light of the fire and the smell of food will attract predators around you. Jack was also aware of this, and when we took turns grilling the fish, there was always one person holding a micro punch, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

Fortunately, the danger did not come, but a deep sleepiness. Before the fish was all roasted, I let go of my hand holding the AK47, and the half-charred fish on the bayonet suddenly got on the fish oil below, and the fish was instantly ignited, raising flames more than a meter high.

The sudden fire woke me up from a half-dream, and looking at the waste of a skewer of grilled fish, I shrugged my shoulders slightly apologetically and said, "I can't stand it like this, let's take turns sleeping for a while, and there may not be time to rest after crossing the river." ”

"Okay, then you can sleep first, I can hold on for a while. Is two hours enough? ”

I nodded. "Call me in two hours, or I'll sleep until the iron tree blooms."

As I spoke, I lay down on my side. I curled up, and the fire lit by the fish oil of the white flowers was right in front of my eyes, which made me feel very comfortable. Almost as soon as my head landed on my backpack, I fell asleep unconsciously.

I was still in that position when I was woken up, which shows how deep my sleep was. I sat up in a daze and found that I was covered with a dress. Jack must have covered me.

I gave him a good-natured smile, rubbed his eyes and asked, "How long have I been asleep?" ”

"I slept for two hours, and it took me half an hour to wake you up, for a total of two and a half hours. But I didn't wake you up in a rough way. Jack smacked his mouth as he spoke.

I didn't dare to dwell on this topic, so I pretended to be confused and said, "Then you can sleep for a while, I feel better." ”

Jack shook his head. "I can't sleep, you're okay, let's go."

I realized that Jack's face was very bad, and it seemed that the pain was tormenting him all along. I looked at the backpack with my eyes and signaled that there was something to anaesthetize and relieve pain.

Jack hesitated for a moment and said, "I can hold on...... I'm worried that I won't wake up if I go to sleep. ”

My heart sank. "The wound has worsened?"

Jack shrugged. "At least not for the better. Let's go, I'm sure I'll make it to the moment I find my way out. ”

I nodded and stood up silently. (To be continued......)
