Volume 2 Eyes of the Deep Chapter 78 Race against Death

Lantern Xiao said these words in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, completely forgetting that she was obviously a tomb robber. Lantern Xiao took out a three-edged knife, reached into the small hole used as a blasting point, and cleaned up the rubble inside. Then, the sealing plug is removed and the dilator in the "syringe" fills the small hole.

We all watched the operation of the Lantern Festival intently, and suddenly I subconsciously shivered, what's going on? I felt cold. Could it be that I sweated a lot just now? I reached out and wrapped my clothes tightly, but it didn't seem to do much.

Wrong! It dawned on me that something didn't seem right. I withdrew my gaze from Lantern Xiao, rubbed my hands that had become cold, and sighed, "Do you feel that it seems to be getting colder?" ”

The second uncle nodded, "Well, it's indeed colder." I'm afraid this is not a good sign! ”

Wen Mo turned his flashlight and thought about the inside of the cave, "Do you remember the first time we saw those white slimes in the thief cave?" ”

After Wenmo said this, I recalled the experience in the cave robbery, and I found that these two times were really very similar, the same small long hole, the same sealed by gravel, and the same sudden temperature change.

Now that the temperature is dropping, it means that the white slime is already approaching! The thought of this makes my heart beat wildly. I hurriedly urged Lantern Xiao: "Lantern Festival, hurry up, we don't have much time!" ”

"Don't rush, don't rush, I'm already fast!" Lantern Xiao muttered as she lit the catalyst in a small vial into the expansion agent at the blast point.

Lantern Xiao squatted and took two steps back, "Okay, all we can do below is wait." ”

We all watched nervously at the expansion explosives poured into the walls, and the time passed little by little, but nothing changed except for some milky white expansion agents being squeezed out.

My eyes were a little tired, so I turned my head to look at Lantern Xiao, "How sure are you?" ”

Lantern Xiao's eyes flickered, and he said, "Poor, almost, fifty percent!" ”

"What?" I really want to give him a kick, "Why did you brag so badly just now, and now why are you cowardly?!" Fifty percent? This chance is like a fart to say it! ”

Lantern Xiao was not convinced, "Who said it was fifty percent, I said fifty-eight percent!" The possibility of success is still relatively high! ”

"You!" I'm really too lazy to fight this kind of lawsuit with Lantern Xiao, "You really give face, my chances of survival are eight percent more at once!" ”

"Zhuo Ran, don't talk about me, I can still have an expansion explosive, do you have a better way?!"

"Alright, alright!" The second uncle gave each of us a slap on the head, "Can you two not fight, are you still children!" The second uncle asked Lantern Xiao: "How long does it take for this expansion explosive to take effect?" ”

Lantern Xiao thought for a while and said, "About ten minutes!" ”

The second uncle nodded, "Well, it should be about the same, I know the principle of this expansion explosive, which is to use chemical action to make the expansion agent infused into it expand greatly, and use this increase in volume to achieve the purpose of destruction." So, although this kind of thing is called expansion explosives, it is still very different from traditional explosives, it requires a certain amount of chemical reaction time. ”

Lantern Xiao got the support of the second uncle, and he became proud again, and looked at me very sneeringly.

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, but I turned my head to find that the swelling agent that had been squeezed out had begun to swell and solidify, and the little bit that was like a mung bean kernel just now had become a small egg. I reached out and touched it, and the surface of the bulking agent had hardened a little.

Lantern Xiao saw my movements and reminded: "Zhuo Ran, be careful, I heard that German foreigner say that this kind of expansion explosive has a very large change in volume, and it may rush out of the blast when it is used, and the momentum is very great, so stay away from the blast when you use it, so as not to be dangerous." ”

I snorted, "I wish it would be so useful." As I said this, I still followed the Lantern Festival reminder and left the position directly facing the blast.

At this time, the temperature had become even lower, and suddenly Wen Mo said, "It's coming!" Just two words, like a hammer, smashed heavily into my heart. I hurriedly followed the light of Wenmo's flashlight, and I was horrified to see that at the corner at the end of the square cave, some white slime had spread out.

"Holy!" Lantern Xiao straightened up suddenly, "It's really appeared!" ”

I grabbed the Lantern Festival, "Hurry up and see, why hasn't your thing reacted yet, is it that the catalyst is not enough!" "I was nervous and terrified at this point, because I had seen the power of this white slime, and the corpse that had melted and solidified again was still shaking before my eyes. I don't want to be like that!

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" from the blast, and a blast of expansion agent was literally ejected. The thing flew like a bullet against my scalp and slammed into the opposite wall, smashing a brick off the wall. I was afraid for a while, just now I made a reminder in advance of the Lantern Festival, and I moved my position, otherwise I would have been headshot now.

But after this fright, it was a surprise, we only heard a crisp "click" sound from the wall filled with molten iron, and we took a closer look, the wall that was still extremely hard just now had been "blown up" by the expansion explosives to create a crack a finger wide.

I couldn't suppress the excitement in my heart, and patted the Lantern Festival hard: "It's so bullish!" ”

Although Lantern Xiao was full of disbelief, he still pouted as if he was X, "That's that, don't you look at who your buddy is!" ”

"Without further ado! Let's do it! The second uncle said and began to smash it. We don't hesitate to join in.

This kind of wall is indeed very tricky at the beginning, but once it is torn, its overall structure is destroyed, and the blue bricks and cast iron that originally supported each other become fragile.

With our joint efforts, we soon had holes in the two layers of brick walls that could be passed through by one person.

We didn't know how much white slime was going to flow through here, and although I didn't think it would be too big from the last experience, we hit the hole near the top of the cave to be on the safe side. That way, unless those white slimes fill this square hole, it won't affect us.

When the hardest obstacle has been breached, all that remains is the sealed soil that was filled in when the tomb was built, which is much easier for us. We have a sharp sapper shovel in our hands, and to deal with this soil, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is like cutting tofu, but it is almost like cutting frozen tofu.

Although our speed was already very fast, the speed of the white slime was also not slow, and we had no choice but to pile up all the green bricks and sealed soil in front of us, forming a "dam" to block the advance of the white slime.

But this can only temporarily slow down the speed of the slime, but at the same time it also brings a certain risk, that is, once the white slime rises higher than the height of the "dike" we have built, there will be a "break" phenomenon, and the "white death" will engulf us in an instant.

We had to dig desperately, this is a real race against death, and death is not far from us.

At this time, the command of the second uncle and our tacit cooperation have become the basis for us to advance quickly. This place is small, and it is impossible for four people to move at the same time. So I first dug out the approximate shape of the thief hole by me and Lantern Xiao, and then Wenmo and the second uncle used their experience to rest and strengthen the thief hole, and made some footholds on both sides.

The four people work together to maintain sufficient physical strength and ensure high-speed efficiency. Soon a thief hole was punched diagonally upward.

The second uncle looked at the "dike" we used to block the white slime, and at this time there were signs of collapse, and some white slime had seeped out of the cracks in the gravel and the sealed soil. And the white slime that was blocked behind the "" was already overflowing.

At this time, we are already on the verge of life and death, and the "dike" we have accumulated may collapse at any time, and at that time, white slime will spew out, and we will not even have a chance to escape.

The second uncle hurriedly urged us, "Quick! Get out of here quickly, steal the hole first, and dig as you go. Otherwise, it's too late! ”

We nodded hurriedly. Wenmo has undoubtedly become a pioneer again, although the second uncle is also experienced in digging holes, but after all, his age is there, and his physical strength can't keep up.

After Wenmo got in first, the second uncle motioned for us to go up first, but Lantern Xiao resolutely disagreed, "I'd better go up last, just my body, in case the hole is blocked, half is on the top and half is below, when the white slime comes over, we will die two and a half immediately." Let's go first, don't talk nonsense! No time! ”

I couldn't help but look at Lantern Xiao, although Lantern Xiao is sometimes quite unflowing, and he is quite unreliable for a while, but when it comes to critical moments, Lantern Xiao can always stand up, he is really one of the very few people who can make me trust unconditionally.

Now is not the time to be hypocritical, the second uncle no longer shirks, nodded and climbed up with Wenmo. I patted Lantern Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Dude, hurry up and follow!" Lantern Xiao smiled at me and nodded, "Don't worry! ”

So I turned around and climbed up with my second uncle, and at this time, Wenmo's thief hole had already turned in one direction and hit it sideways.
