Could it be that the passage carved out by the grave builders has now been flooded by groundwater? Am I not in a water-filled passage now?

My scalp was numb suddenly, and with experience, I hurriedly wanted to swim back, but the water in this water hole was very turbulent, basically I swam one step back and three steps, and soon, the air in my lungs was exhausted, and the whole person's head was swollen, my heart beat violently, and the speed of my hands and feet thrashed slowed down, almost in a state of shallow drowning.

Just when I was holding back the pain in my chest and lungs, and I almost wanted to hit the wall in pain, the collar of my neck was suddenly pulled by someone, and I was suddenly dragged out of the water, and a large area of air came to my face, I almost didn't even have time to open my eyes, and immediately opened my mouth wide to gasp, and in the dark, I felt that my buttocks were sitting on an uneven stone, and the bottom of my buttocks was still soaked in water.

At this moment, the hand that was pulling at my neck was sent away, and then a violent gasp sounded in my ears, and a cold body was attached to my back, and if it were not for the burning gas of the man's gasp, I almost suspected that it was a corpse attached to my back.

After a while, I calmed down and shouted, "Zhao Wang? ”

The gasping continued, and it took a long time to hum and reply.

I remembered the hand that grabbed my foot earlier, and I couldn't help but feel angry, and said, "Just now, it wasn't you kid who dragged me!" Zhao Wang was still gasping, and he stammered back after a while: "I, I didn't mean to, it's because something, something bit me, I, I ...... I didn't pay attention, so I dragged you, evil, evil brother, I'm sorry......"

I guess this kid was drowning just now, and he spoke more than I gasped, so he didn't speak again, and the two of them gasped in the dark for a while, and it took a long time before the breath gradually stabilized.

The groundwater is very cold, and the current is very intense, my lower body is soaked in the water, receiving the cold washing, almost numb, so I turned sideways, but as soon as I moved, my head suddenly hit the stone, at the same time, Zhao Wang's mouth hissed, shouting: "Pain." ”

Immediately after, I smelled a faint smell of blood.

"You're hurt?"

Zhao Wang's mouth hissed, and his voice was a little pitiful: "I was bitten by something, evil brother, the location here is very small, don't move blindly." After he finished speaking, I immediately stopped moving, but reached out and groped my surroundings with my hands, and only halfway forward, I felt the cold stone wall.

I was stunned for a moment, and quickly touched both sides, but the result was the same, I didn't even stretch out one arm, and I touched my head, that is, we are now in a cave with a diameter of almost no more than two meters, and this cave is very small, only enough to accommodate the upper body of a person.

At this moment, Zhao Wang and I both have the lower half of our bodies soaked in water, and the only thing that supports us is a small rock protruding from under our buttocks.

The water in the cave is very strong, probably because of the structure of this water hole, the groundwater gushes like a small waterfall, and the legs soaked in the water can't resist this force, and swings down uncontrollably.

I carefully stabilized my body and reached out to touch the equipment on my body, this outdoor suit has a lot of zippered trouser pockets, we carry lighters and other things in our pockets, with previous experience, now as long as I go down, I buy waterproof.

After taking out the lighter and lighting it, I saw the environment clearly, and it was about the same as I had estimated, and at this moment, there was a gushing groundwater under our feet, and the groundwater kept going down, and I didn't know where it was going. Zhao Wang was leaning against the cold stone wall, his lower body was hanging in the water, one of his legs was curled and coiled on his thigh, and there was a wound on his ankle, the skin and flesh were erosive, and he didn't know what caused it, which looked very hideous.

Zhao Wang's face turned pale with pain, and as soon as the lighter in my hand was clear, his eyes immediately turned to me, and after a while, he spit out two words: "Evil brother, what should I do?" I couldn't help but sigh and said, "We made a mistake in our calculations, but I didn't expect that this place has been flooded with groundwater, and now it's not easy to get out." ”

I recalled, from falling down to being pulled out of the water by Zhao Wang, I experienced about two minutes underwater, all the way to be swept here by the torrent, but if we want to swim back, it will take more time, not to mention whether we can hold our breath, just this torrent of water, it is estimated that it is enough to choke, just afraid that if you get out of the water, you will be swept to the back direction.

Zhao Wang tugged at the corners of his mouth, looking like his heart was like ashes: "...... I thought we could escape, but I didn't expect to die here. I guess my face was not good-looking at the moment, so I glared at him fiercely and said, "Phew! Don't die at every turn, you're dead, bad luck! Back then, everyone thought that we were going to be slaves to the country, and then didn't we drive out little Japan in the same way? Instead of saying these frustrating words, think about how to get out. ”

That being said, I don't know the bottom of my heart, and it won't work to march back now, but if we go down the river, I don't know where this water hole leads, and if it leads to a deeper underground channel, then I'm afraid we won't even be able to leave the corpses.

Zhao Wang didn't know if he listened to my words, lowered his head, and couldn't see his expression clearly.

At this moment, he suddenly moved his body, and then, his voice was a little uncertain: "Evil brother, look, is this water rising?" I was thinking about how to escape, and when I heard this, I lowered my head quite annoyingly, and when I looked at it, I was shocked.

I remember that at first, the water was just up to the rocks under my buttocks, but now, the water has spread to my waist, and I can barely feel the water rising because my whole body is numb from the cold.

The look on Zhao Wang's face was almost crying, and he said in a dumb voice: "We're going to die." "I was so anxious in my heart, when I heard this, I slapped him directly on the head, damn it, I encouraged him for a long time just now, and this kid didn't absorb a word of nutrition.

Soon, the water under my feet was surging more and more, almost to the position of my chest, and there was no extra time for me to think about countermeasures at this moment, I looked at Zhao Wang, who had completely given up survival, gritted my teeth, and dragged the backpack on his back into his arms, I remember, there was a nylon rope in this backpack, and I could only give up my life for now.

Taking out the rope, I visually inspected it, this rope is about thirteen meters, no more than fifteen meters, the rope is the thickness of a person's thumb, it looks relatively strong, in addition, there are black donkey hooves, corpse gloves and other professional inverted bucket equipment in the backpack, the only food is a pack of unopened compressed biscuits.

Before the fat man and Lao Hu disappeared mysteriously, life and death were uncertain, I was thinking about looking for them, and I didn't have time to eat, and then I was trapped in the tomb with Zhao Wang, facing the situation of being trapped and dying at any time, and I was not in the mood to eat.

At this moment, the water had already flooded to the position of my ribs, I unpacked the compressed biscuit, patted Zhao Wang's face, stuffed a piece into his mouth, and said: "Eat quickly, the rest of the things need to consume a lot of physical strength, if we fail, we will be a full ghost." After that, I stuffed the biscuits into my mouth, and when I finished eating, I took a sip of groundwater directly, and in almost less than two minutes, a pack of biscuits was completely wiped out by us.

About full, Zhao Wang's will to survive was also strong, and immediately asked me what to do, I took the rope in my hand, pointed to the groundwater, and said: "The water flow here is very fierce, we will definitely be rolled down when we get out of the water, even if we are not swept down, even if we can climb back, we can only go back to the cemetery, and we will still be trapped to death." ”

Zhao Wang nodded and said nervously: "Yes, evil brother, are you planning to go downstream?" ”

I nodded and said: "The water hole below is obviously dug out by hand, but it is just that the water entered later, since it is dug out by people, there must be other exits below, and this hole is at the beginning of construction, the exit must go up, so as to communicate with the tomb, this is the basic rule of the tomb, no matter how many passages in the tomb, you must not get out of the tomb, once you get out of the tomb, it is called' Walking the wind', it will break the feng shui, the ancient people were very particular about this, so when we go into the water, as long as we pay attention to the surroundings, we will definitely be able to find other exits. ”

After all, Zhao Wang has been in the antique industry for more than two years, and he is naturally not unfamiliar with the basic structure of the tomb, as soon as I said this, he immediately sobered up, and suddenly said excitedly: "Why didn't I expect it!" Jiang is still old and spicy, evil brother, as long as we can get out alive this time, from now on, you let me go east, and I will never go west. ”

I didn't feel good and said, "If I let you kill someone, you will set it on fire?" ”

Zhao Wang's expression was entangled for a moment, and he hesitated: "This, this...... You're not that kind of person. "I don't know what kind of person I am in the eyes of others, according to the fat man, I am sometimes too soft-hearted, but I am a brother who can give my life.

In fact, I don't think so, when I was in the palace of King Lu, in order to survive, I shot at Da Kui, he was dragging my leg at the time, hoping that I could take him out, but I didn't, the primitive inferiority of human beings was revealed at that moment, and I was ...... to a living person A companion who had been joking with me a moment ago shot him, just so that he wouldn't be implicated.

Speaking of righteousness, it depends on who is right, if it weren't for the fat man and the stuffy oil bottle, who saved me from danger again and again, I'm afraid I wouldn't care about their life or death at all.

Not that kind of person?

I smiled and said, "So what kind of person am I?" ”

Zhao Wang was stunned and opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly, I was a little afraid to know his opinion, so I interrupted him and said: "Don't talk about these things, now is not the time to be happy, although there will definitely be an outlet downstream, but this water hole has obviously been formed for a long time, and it is very likely that on the basis of the original, an underwater impact hole has been formed, and it has merged into a deeper underground river." If we can't get out of the control of the rapids, even if we find an exit, we may not be able to climb up, and we are likely to be swept deeper by the current. ”

Zhao Wangmeng looked at the rope in my hand and said, "Do you want to ......?" ”

I nodded and said, "This rope is only about thirteen meters, and the only way now is for one of us to go into the water to find an exit and use this rope to stabilize our bodies." I can hold my breath for a maximum of two minutes when I get into the water, and if I can't find an exit within two minutes, we're really finished. ”

Zhao Wang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "I'll go into the water!" Evil brother, have you forgotten who pulled you up just now? I was stunned for a moment, and then I reacted, yes, this kid lives on the edge of the Yangtze River, and his water nature is definitely better than mine.

Immediately, we discussed the details, Zhao Wang tied the rope into the water, I stayed in the water hole, once Zhao Wang found the exit, he shook the rope to signal.

Soon, Zhao Wang tied the rope to his waist, I looked at each other, he took a deep breath, and jumped into the water, and then, the rope in my hand turned up and slid into the water at a very fast speed, I can almost imagine how much impact Zhao Wang is bearing at the moment.

At this moment, my butt sat on the stone, bent my legs against the opposite stone wall to borrow strength, soon, less than a minute, the rope in my hand was tightened, a huge force continued to come from the water, the rope shook uncontrollably, I couldn't help but be shocked, the force of this water flow is too great, Zhao Wang's kid has fine skin and tender meat, can it hold up?

At this moment, the rope was suddenly pulled hard, and then, the pulling force became stronger and stronger, and it seemed that something was climbing up the rope.

A moment later, a skull emerged from the water.

Zhao Wang's face turned a little blue, he gasped a few times, shook his head with a somewhat desperate expression, and said, "No, I didn't see the exit." After a pause, he looked at me with dark eyes, his voice was a little hoarse, and said, "The rope is too short, and the underwater environment is very messy." ”

I put away the rope and let Zhao Wang sit on the stone to rest first, at this moment, the water has spread to the position of my shoulder, I hold the lighter in one hand, it is already very difficult, and my whole body is almost shivering from the cold groundwater.

At this moment, the groundwater is shaking violently, constantly surging, and from time to time it washes into our mouths and noses, and it won't be long before I can't even light the lighter, for a while, I can't calm down, my brain is beating suddenly, what should I do? What to do?

The water will soon flood the hole, and now we can barely stabilize ourselves with the rocks under our butts, and once the water is full, the impact of the water will sweep us away in an instant, and when the time comes, we will really become water ghosts.

In the confusion, I glanced at Zhao Wang. He was still very young, about the same size as me, but he was taller than me, and his legs were straight and slender, but unfortunately, at such a young age, he was going to fold here.

Looking at it, I was suddenly stunned, and then reacted violently, and immediately shouted: "Zhao Wang, hurry, take off your pants!"

Zhao Wang's sluggish expression showed a hint of surprise, and he stammered, "What are you doing, what are you doing?" I didn't have time to explain to him, I raised my head, with a lighter in my mouth, I took the lead in picking up my pants, and then pulled out a dagger and began to cut, Zhao Wang was not stupid, he immediately understood, and hurriedly took off his pants.

After a while, we stripped off two pairs of pants and two coats and made a rope of about six meters, and then I linked the nylon rope with the homemade rope to make a rope of about twenty meters, and by this time, the water had reached the neck, and the two of us had to try to hold our heads back to breathe.

I handed the rope to Zhao Wang and said, "Next time, if you can't find it, let's leave it to our fate." Zhao Wang took a deep look at me, then tied the rope around his waist, and began to breathe heavily, at this moment, I suddenly had a feeling, as if it was life and death, maybe after this glance, I would close my eyes forever.
