Chapter 144 [Under the Water] (I)
Arnold said: "This tunnel is very strong, we can stuff the grenade under the wall and detonate it from the bottom, the biggest impact is this wall, it should not collapse." "He knows far more about weapons and ammunition than anyone else, and he is quite confident in that. Upon some observation, it was revealed that there was a triangular gap in the bottom of the wall, which should allow a grenade to be inserted and detonated from below.
Sparrow said: "Even if the explosion goes well, we blow up this wall, what awaits us behind it?"
Arnold was apparently stopped by the sparrow, only then did he realize that the back of the wall should be full of water, and once they blew it up, the water that was blocked on the opposite side would rush in and swallow them all. Thinking of this, Arnold couldn't help but retreat.
The blind man sighed with some regret and said, "It seems that the vault should be on the other side of this wall, and we won't have a chance to get in." "It's more important than the secret treasure or his life, the blind man can forget about life and death for the sake of Luo Hunting, but he is not greedy for money to the point where he can spare his life for the sake of the secret treasure.
Luo Lie said: "It's not that there is no chance, this place is only more than a hundred meters away from the exit, even if it is washed out by the water after the detonation, I can withstand this distance." "He's pretty confident in his ability to hold his breath in the water.
The rest of the people understood what he meant, and the sparrow shook his head and said, "No, you can't take risks!" The dangerous scene just now still shocked her, and she didn't want Luo Lie to take another risk.
Luo Lie smiled: "I'm naturally curious, if I don't figure out this matter, I'm afraid I'll have trouble sleeping, you go and wait outside, I'll be responsible for blasting, if everything goes well, it won't take too long, I will be sent to the ditch outside by water, you guys are ready to fish me out of the water." ”
Arnold said: "It's not impossible. He handed one of the lifebuoys to Luo Lie in case he needed it.
The sparrow still wanted to stop it, Luo Lie patted her shoulder and said: "Don't worry, we have all come here, we can't give up halfway, I am very good at water, the flood channel just now is several times longer than this one, I am fine, you don't have to worry." ”
The blind man didn't speak, he came to Arnold and asked for another lifebuoy, Luo Lie knew that he wanted to advance and retreat with him, and he was secretly moved in his heart, but he didn't want the blind man to do this, and said softly: "Blind, you and Arnold are responsible for protecting the sparrows, and I can handle it alone." ”
The blind man said: "It's better to have someone take care of you, don't forget that I taught you to swim." Besides, it's so dark here, you have to have someone to show you the way. ”
Seeing that he insisted, Luo Hunt could only nod, and after Arnold taught the two of them the explosive method, he escorted the sparrows to retreat first, and Luo Hunt stuffed the bundled grenades into the recess at the base of the wall, and this triangular recess could actually be stuffed with eight grenades.
The two retreated to a safe distance, and the blind man changed his pistol and aimed at the bundle of grenades, Luo Hunt couldn't help but get nervous at this time, holding his breath for fear of interfering with the blind man's shooting. The blind man looked at it for a while, then the hand holding the gun fell down again, shook it back and forth a few times, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Don't be nervous!" Luo Lie cheered him on.
"It would be nice if Lu Weilin was here. The blind man couldn't help but think of the sharpshooter at this time, and he didn't have much confidence in his marksmanship.
Luo Lie encouraged him: "If one shot doesn't work, two shots, we have time." ”
Arnold's voice suddenly came from outside: "Blind, can you do it? No, I'll go in and replace you!"
The blind man snorted and said loudly: "Golden Retriever, I Tema is the most annoying for others to provoke me, and Lao Tzu can do better than you when he closes his eyes." He raised his pistol and aimed it in front of him to shoot a shot, but after the crisp shot, there was no response. The blind man fired a few more shots, but the gun missed, and Arnold laughed loudly outside, this guy couldn't help but be a little anxious, there was only the last bullet left in the gun, and he scolded angrily: "Golden Retriever, I'll fuck your uncle!" Strange to say, every time he scolded Arnold, the blind man felt that he was full of magical power.
Bullets shot out of the chamber of the gun, and this time it actually hit the bundle of grenades accurately, and the eight grenades were triggered almost at the same time, and the explosion caused the entire underground passage to shake violently, and Luo Lie dragged the blind man to lie down with a loud roar, his voice was drowned out by the sound caused by the explosion, and even he could not hear his own voice.
The two of them lay on the ground and covered their heads with their hands, feeling the gravel dust falling on their bodies, their heads were shaken and dazed, they thought that they would be surrounded by a surging flood soon, but after waiting for a long time, no water rushed to their sides.
Outside, the concerned voices of sparrows and Arnold, Luo Lie still had some tinnitus, and his hearing could not be fully recovered in a short time, he yelled: "We're fine, don't come in for the time being." ”
The blind man was choked by the dust and coughed violently, he got up from the ground, covered with a layer of sand and gravel, and then looked at Luo Lie was also disgraced and embarrassed, thinking that his current appearance must not be much better, the two of them supported each other and walked towards the explosion.
Luo Lie thought that the explosion was unsuccessful, but when he came to the front, he realized that the wall had still been successfully blown up, revealing a large hole above, but the wall was not as waterlogged as they had expected.
When the blind man saw that he had successfully blasted the stone wall, he could not help but raise his hands and cheer loudly.
At this time, the hearing of the two began to gradually return to normal, and the Sparrow and Arnold had already groped their way in, although the two were outside, they also guessed the situation inside from various signs.
Luo Lie took the lead in climbing up the gap, and then stretched out his hand to pull his companions over one by one, there were a lot of white bones scattered on the ground here, but these white bones were scattered, different from the whole skeleton outside, it should be the air wave caused by the explosion just now that shattered the bones, and the blind man found a bronze candlestick on the ground, and there were two candles scattered on the ground next to it.
Luo Lie walked over and lit the candle, and held up the candlestick to illuminate the dark underground world, but saw that there was a circular cistern not far in front of them, the diameter of the pool was about ten meters, and it could be seen that the pool was extremely deep, and the water surface was about half a meter away from the edge of the pool.
Several people searched around this place, except for the flood channel they had just entered, there was no other channel to communicate with the outside world, could it be that this place had come to an end?
On the edge of the pool lay dozens of skeletons, which were not seriously impacted because they were far away from the explosion point, and remained largely intact, and it could be seen that the heads of the skeletons were all there, which was completely different from the outside, and the bones inside should not have been beheaded.
The blind man found a wooden stick nearly three meters long from nowhere, and inserted it into the pool, but his hand did not enter the water, and still did not reach the bottom of the pool, and the blind man sighed: "It's so deep." ”
Arnold had a rope with him, he picked a stone, tied it with it, sank into the water, put it for about ten meters without bottoming out, turned to the blind man and said, "It's so deep." ”
The blind man said: "I have a hunch......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the sparrow: "Don't say it!" In fact, even if the blind man didn't say it, she knew what the blind man wanted to say.
The blind man had a premonition that the secret was hidden in this pool, in fact, Luo Lie also had the same idea as him, the reason why the sparrow stopped the blind man from speaking out, the real intention was not to let Luo Lie take risks, she knew that Luo Lie was a person who would not give up easily, and even concluded that Luo Lie was going to take risks alone.
Luo Lie had already come to the edge of the pool, stretched out his hand to probe the water temperature, the water temperature was a little cold, but it was still within the range of his body to bear, Luo Lie said: "I'll go down and take a look." This was actually said to the sparrow.
Sparrow didn't speak, she found that she had never cared about a person like she did now, and it was because of her concern for Luo Lie that her temperament had changed, she became hesitant, suffering from gains and losses, and even she didn't know herself a little anymore.
Luo Lie had already begun to take off his coat, revealing the black water inside, fortunately they had prepared before, otherwise they might not be able to withstand the low temperature if they went directly into the water.
The blind man came over and said, "Luo Lie, it's better for me to go down, I'm heavier than you, and I'm definitely faster than you." ”
Luo Lie laughed, although the blind man's water nature is good, but he has not specifically learned to dive, he is too strong than him at this point, not to mention that after he followed Wu Jie to learn the breathing and breathing method, he felt that he was much stronger than in the past, and he could just challenge the limit by taking advantage of this opportunity.
The blind man said, "I am better than you, and I can see in the dark." ”
Luo Lie looked at this friend who could entrust his life, and his heart was moved, and he said softly: "Diving is different from swimming, although you can see things in the dark, but you are also like a blind man underwater, mainly relying on feeling." He wrapped the rope around his right foot: "I'll go down and see, I have no problem holding my breath underwater for ten minutes, you help me read the meter, and within ten minutes, I will definitely return." ”
Arnold lifted his hands and neck, revealing his military watch with excellent waterproof performance, untied it from his wrist and handed it to Luo Lie: "Put it on, don't forget the time." ”
Luo Lie nodded, took his watch and put it on.
The sparrow, who had not spoken for a long time, finally spoke: "Seven minutes, we will only give you seven minutes, and if you don't come back in seven minutes, we will drag you up together." ”
After everything was ready to stop, Luo Lie jumped from the edge of the pool, he dived very fast, after a while, he had already come to twenty meters underwater, it was dark underwater, the pool water was cold but very calm, Luo Lie was not wrong about one thing, the blind man's night vision ability is useless underwater, and it is impossible for a person without special training to dive to such a depth.
Raising his hand to look at the time, the watch flickered under the water, this faint light was enough to give considerable comfort to the stalker in the dark, just over a minute later, Luo Lie decided to continue diving, the rope brought by Arnold was fifty meters long, and he still had enough space to dive.
