Chapter 77: Escape

Shoulder Drop didn't intend to face the two people below directly, he knew that he was still very clear about this, but he didn't intend to just let them go.

In less than a day, the spores on the wall of the well below would be able to suck up the air that had been put in before, and he could strangle the enemy below without much effort.

Thinking of this, a hideous smile floated on the potholed face with slumped shoulders covered by a black cloth.

Under the shaft, the fat man had woken up slowly, retching from time to time, the stamina of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water was too great, and he felt as if he had been pickled in this flavor of leaven from the inside out.

Zhang Qixun put a small electric light into his mouth and checked it again, confirming that there were no traces of spores in it, so he was relieved, but after going out, he still had to use a professional instrument to check to see if there was any residue.

Although the act of slumping shoulders did not hurt their roots, it did hurt people.

There were eleven people in their team, and three had died in just a moment.

Zhang Qixun and the little brother transferred the fat man and the remaining five Huo family members to the well for more than ten meters, and then cleaned up the spores on the inner wall of the well, and waited for the fat man to recover and then discuss the follow-up matters.

Zhang Qixun had a ball of silkworm cocoon-like spores in his hand, and when he looked closely, he found that this thing was a little familiar, and he suddenly remembered that the bottom of the clay jar found in the cellar with a collapsed shoulder seemed to be this kind of thing.

Could it be that the contents of those clay jars were found from this deep well by slumping shoulders?

Zhang Qixun subconsciously glanced into the darkness deeper in the shaft, and sensed it unconsciously, within a limited range, he didn't feel anything, on the surface, this place was safe for the time being.

But it is a suspicion that the slumped shoulder will not stop on it, there must be some danger underneath, so that the slumped shoulder feels that with his and the little brother's ability, he will also die here.

Zhang Ji thought for a while, looked at the white ball in his hand, squeezed it hard, and then switched to the other hand, and found that the palm of his hand just now suddenly became sweaty, but he knew that it was not his sweat.

The palms of the Zhang family are basically not sweaty, even in summer or when they sweat profusely after strenuous exercise, the palms are also dry, which is also related to the exercise and tonic medicine they have eaten since childhood, and sweat will affect the sensitivity of the hands.

So the water could only be squeezed out of the spores, and he turned his head to ask the recovered fat man, "When you were parasitized by this spore before, didn't you feel it at all?" ”

"Yes, there are feelings." The fat man was eating compressed biscuits, and his speech was a little slurred, but he could hear it clearly, "The fat man already felt something drilling into my mouth at that time, grabbed it out, and found that it was the white hair on the wall, and just wanted to remind you to pay attention, but it turned out that no matter how much he opened his mouth, he couldn't make a sound, and he felt like he was stuffed with plasticine in his throat, and it was blocked." ”

"But I was in a hurry, I was in a cold sweat, and then I found that the faster those white silks came by, I had to quickly climb down, wanting to report to you, but you have already discovered the situation." The fat man said.

After listening to his words, Zhang Qixun thought thoughtfully, so this spore plant itself seems to carry a toxin that can paralyze the vocal cords, and has the property of hydrotropism, so it will spontaneously burrow into the fat man's stomach after entering the mouth, and quickly multiply into spore clumps inside.

He examined the body of the Huo family who died, there was a pinpoint-sized punctate hemorrhage under the eyelid membrane, the jugular veins were swollen and bulging, the face was pale and blue, and the cause of death was only suffocation, which means that the spores followed the water in the body and spread directly to all the cavities and internal organs in his body, including the trachea leading to the lungs.

This thing is completely a mobile version of the desiccant, so is it to keep the environment around the snake eggs dry?

It is also possible that the climate of Banai is rainy and watery, and the conditions for this special snake egg to hatch must be more stringent.

As soon as Zhang Qixun told his analysis to the little brother and the fat man, the fat man muttered, "This perverted black-haired pheasant has no neck ability, it's actually a landlubber." ”

No matter what kind of duck it is, it can't stay here for long.

Zhang Qixun glanced at the time on his watch, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, Huo Xiangu had probably received the news of their disappearance and was preparing for the worst.

Seeing that Huo Xiaoli and the others were all energetic after eating food, they spoke: "Let's all rest, after resting, we have to continue to walk forward, there are rivals who have attacked us before the lynx are waiting, and we only have this way to go." ”

Huo Xiaoli nodded, each sorted out their equipment and put it on their backs, and then took out their gas masks and fully armed them to prevent that kind of spores from burrowing into their bodies again.

The fat man also put on a mask, Zhang Qixun bit his finger and wiped some blood on the outside of the mask on his face, and then took the lead to crawl deeper into the shaft.

The direction of this shaft is not straight, but there has always been a gentle upward slope, and the group climbed non-stop for more than an hour, and the front is still dark, like the bottomless pit of rat spirits in Journey to the West, with no end.

In the words of the fat man, this place is too bad to use to fight tunnel battles.

Because it was underground, the walkie-talkie could not reach the channel, and there was no way to report to the other two teams, according to the direction of the compass, they had deviated from the original direction, but they did not return the same way, but continued to move in the direction of north-east.

The two walls of this shaft are also very smooth, the soil has been specially reinforced, and the material used is not the common soil of Banai, Zhang Qixun can't help but wonder in his heart whether this will be a drainage system set up when the project was built, then there should be other forks in the road.

However, there was no trace of water flowing through the two walls, which may have been a backup option at the time, and then it was abandoned, and somehow it was found by a collapsed shoulder, and a fake iron lid was made on it.

Gradually, Zhang Qixun felt that the air around him was a little thin, and he had to inhale heavily every time he breathed, as if the air was being sucked away by an invisible thing, and suddenly there was a sound of falling down behind him.

When he looked back, he saw a Huo family crawling behind the fat man who had fallen, and the fat man was panting heavily, turning around with great difficulty and kicking the man's shoulder with his foot, trying to wake him up, but the man didn't move.

The other Huo family members were a little overwhelmed and stopped where they were.

Zhang Qixun had already guessed the reason, took out a small bottle of oxygen from his backpack, turned sideways and threw it back.

The little brother had already climbed along the edge from the last position to the side of the Huo family, reached out and grabbed the oxygen cylinder, took off the person's mask, buckled the breathing mask that came with the oxygen cylinder to his mouth and nose, and pressed it several times in a row.

Zhang Qixun threw a bottle to the fat man and the rest of the people, so that they couldn't hold on anymore and took two breaths of oxygen, and then continued to move forward.

I climbed until about one o'clock in the afternoon, and finally there was a fork in the road.

Zhang Qixun tore the toilet paper into thin strips and measured it, this place was actually a little close to the ground, and the note at the fork in the road was shaking slightly, and he immediately chose to crawl over here.

In a trance, he seemed to catch the sound of water in his ears, and he confirmed it with the little brother in the back, who listened carefully with his ear sideways and gave him a positive answer.

Hearing this, several Huo family members were shocked and overjoyed.

The farther they went, the louder the sound of the water became, and they seemed to crawl on the edge of a river, and the earthen wall on one side gradually became wet.

The fat man proposed: "Why don't we install a detonator and blow up this wall, it can finally go outside, this pipe like a pig's intestine is about to suffocate the fat man." ”

Zhang Qixun stretched out his hand and touched the wall, thinking that this method was feasible, but once the wall collapsed, they only had more than ten seconds to escape through the gap.

Because the way of drilling holes in this shaft is the same as that of digging holes, once the hole is blown up and the structure is damaged, the area will soon collapse, and if there is a little delay, they will be buried by the collapsed silt.

The plan was quickly decided, and the fat man in the middle was in the middle to plant the bomb, and once there was a gap, the people on both sides rushed out together.

The fat man has a strong execution ability, and he quickly prepared for directional blasting, stretched the lead, and immediately lit a cigarette with a lighter after everyone hid before and after, and pinched it in his hand after taking a puff of beauty, and leaned out to light the lead.

With a muffled bang, several cracks cracked on the surface of the earthen wall at once, and bulged inward, and there were more and more cracks on it, and soon a large area spread.

With a bang, the earthen wall could not withstand the pressure of the water outside, and collapsed with a bang, and the river water mixed with mud poured in at once, and soon filled the passage.

Zhang Qixun closed his eyes tightly, and only relied on the perception of the last glance to swim against the current to the breach.

Finally broke through the water, the warm sunlight outside shrouded his head, the harsh sunlight made him unable to open his eyes, wiped the water from his face, squinted slightly, and stepped on the water to look around.

This is a relatively gentle river channel, the water is very clear, the light can shine directly through the water surface to the bottom of the water, the aquatic plants below grow very luxuriantly, with the water slowly swaying, the clear waves ripple, the water to the downstream with the tail floating a lot of big fish and small fish.

On both sides of the shore were shallows covered with aquatic weeds and reeds, and on one side there was a place that had been blown up by them, and the muddy water was still swirling into the shaft.

Behind them were a patchwork of woods, an area they had never set foot on before, as if they had crossed directly from the ground to the outside of the valley, which should no longer be within the scope of Yaozhai.

The little brother and the fat man also quickly got out of the water and swam to the shore, the fat man still had a half-wet cigarette in his mouth, and the cigarette paper made the water wet, and it hung down on his chin softly, as if a piece of bird droppings had fallen from the sky and put it on his mouth.

Several Huo family members also came out of the water safely, with the joy of escaping on their faces.

After everyone climbed ashore, they lay flat like salted fish on the pebble beach warmed by the sun, and enjoyed the massage of the sun father with their eyes closed, so tired that they didn't even want to move their fingers.

The little brother walked around and came back, and after making sure that there was no danger around, he sat on the grass and took off his coat and wrung out the water on it.

Zhang Qixun threw a packet of compressed biscuits to him, and said: "Later, we will go downstream along this river, the water sources on the Banai side are basically connected to each other, and if we find the villages downstream, we can find a way to contact Huo Xiangu and them." ”

The walkie-talkie they were equipped with had already entered the water, and the fat man had just tried the circuit inside twice before it burned and smoked, emitting an unpleasant smell of burning.

The little brother nodded, broke off a bit of biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth, and kept his eyes on the water.

Zhang Qixun followed his line of sight, and suddenly realized that near the shallow shore of the riverbank, there was a very fat crucian carp, leisurely opening its short mouth, nibbling on the moss in the pebble cracks of the waterbank little by little.

With a slight smile in his heart, Zhang Qi got up and quietly approached there, there were reeds in the way, and the crucian carp did not notice the approach of his uninvited guest.

Zhang Qixun slowly raised his right hand, pressed the mechanism on the wrist buckle, and a flash of silver light crossed the air, happily piercing into the tail fin of the big crucian carp two inches forward.

The crucian carp was frightened and painful, and as soon as it swung its body, it was about to burrow into the water, and the waves of the water swayed some floats attached to the stones, but it was too late.

Zhang Qixun raised his hand fiercely, and the barb hook on the small silver dart stuck into the fish scales, and the silver thread retracted at the same time as the crucian carp broke through the water, and returned to Zhang Qixun's hand with a flying splash, and was caught by him in the air.

When the fat man heard the movement, he saw the fish in Zhang Qixun's hand, and immediately clapped his paws happily, "Quack, our big wooden fish baby is really an empathetic little angel, he has been gnawing on compressed biscuits, and the fat man's mouth is about to fade out of the bird." ”

When Huo Xiaoli saw them, he endured exhaustion and got up, jumped into the water, and went straight to the fish at the bottom of the water, which seemed to be catching fish, but in fact it was more like a vent for the rest of his life.

The temperature in the water is just right, refreshing, several people have taken a beautiful bath in the water, and then brought the small fish and shrimp they touched ashore, it was really the flutter, and the big fish around them scared them away.

Zhang Qixun concocted six of them in the same way, and after dealing with them with the little brother by the river, he handed them over to the fat man of the peerless chef, "Come on, come on, Wang Yuchu, it's time to show your skills." ”

The fat man wore pants, carried his clothes and shook them casually in the water, washed away the mud and sand on them, and then flattened them on the warm pebbles to let the sun shine, and took the fish that Zhang Qixun and the two had made.

Huo Guy Ji had already picked up dry firewood to light the fire, gathered around the side, and looked at the fat man expectantly.

The next thing is not to be taken care of by Zhang Qi, he walked a few steps a little farther away, jumped directly into the water and scrubbed his body, took out shampoo from the space and washed his hair, and finally washed his clothes with soap, and picked a clean stone beach to dry on it.

When I looked back, the little brother was still soaking in the water, closed his eyes and recuperated, and was very comfortable, so I took his clothes too.

When I passed by, I saw that the fat man's clothes were half-dried and his back were covered with white sweat stains, so he sighed helplessly, reached out and picked up his clothes, walked to the previous position, and scrubbed them together on the big stones on the shore.
