12. Horror in the water

After a while, those of us who were about to enter the water put on our gear, and the group lined up along the Tuojiang River, and the scene was quite grand.

I quietly counted, counting me and Uncle Mei, there were nine people in this batch. But diving is not a group fight, not the more people the better, if you are really unlucky to run into a dangerous current, go down a few and hang a few, directly end a pot.

Of course, I didn't say these unlucky words, but only muttered a few words in my heart.

In the end, Jiang Yongguang pulled down the oxygen mask on his face, and was just about to say a few words to everyone before leaving, when Uncle Mei had already plunged into the Tuojiang River and swam deep into the water.

I hurriedly shouted: "Uncle, you don't know the location of the crack in the ground, I'll lead the way!" ”

After shouting, he also hung up his oxygen mask and plunged into the river.

Jiang Yongguang stood on the shore with an embarrassed group, and he didn't have time to make any speeches, so he hurriedly took his group of filial piety guards and Xiaoliang, the representative of the local police, and jumped into the water one after another. In this way, we infiltrated the Tuojiang River without hesitation, leaving Lao Li alone on the shore to stick to the rear.

Although Uncle Mei was the first to go down, he didn't hold it up, he probed the direction and strength of the undercurrent in the river, and did not swim forward rashly.

At this time, I swam to the front, and followed the path of yesterday evening, and led the group all the way to the crack in the ground that was stuffed with corpses.

When I got closer, I realized that the crack in the ground yesterday was no longer a crack in the ground, but had been washed away by the fierce underground water, forming a huge underwater passage entrance. The turbulent undercurrent flows into the Tuojiang River along this channel, and forms a whirlpool on the surface of the river.

The previous Xiaolingwei were right, the current was indeed fast and fierce, I tried to swim in the direction of the entrance a few times, and each time I was washed back by the current.

Uncle Mei patted me on the shoulder behind me, raised his hand and made an upward gesture, I understood what he meant, it was for me to retreat, don't fight with this undercurrent, call it a day and go back.

Seeing this, Jiang Yongguang on the other side hurriedly swam over, shook his head desperately at me, pointed to the underwater passage, and signaled me not to give up so quickly and try a few more times.

It is the so-called entrusted by people, loyal to people. Since I have received Jiang Yongguang's reward, I can't retreat from the battle.

In my years of experience, this undercurrent under the surface of the water is not always so fast and strong, it is like an old man peeing - one by one. Generally, it is urgent, slow, and urgent, surging according to a certain law.

I first instructed everyone to stand by in the area where the current was relatively gentle, and did not rush into the underwater passage, and then swam to the vicinity of the confluence of the groundwater, carefully perceiving the changes in the undercurrent.

Sure enough, the undercurrent was indeed very fierce at first, but after only about five minutes, the strength of the current suddenly decreased and became much more soothing, and the whole process lasted about seven or eight minutes, and then the current became strong again, and even washed me away from the entrance.

Figuring out the rhythm, I quickly turned around and swam to the crowd, gesturing towards them.

What's worse is that I can't speak in the water, so it is very difficult to convey the news, I played dumb riddles with them for a long time, and in the end it was Lao Li's apprentice Xiao Liang Bingxue who was smart, guessed my intentions, and used her own gestures to make a circle for the others, which gradually made them understand what I wanted to say.

Although in the end, there were still a few unresponsive big brothers who didn't understand the situation and asked me with vigorous gesturing, but the oxygen reserves on my back were limited, and the rhythm of the undercurrent was fleeting, so I didn't have time to explain them one by one.

Just in time for the next trip when the undercurrent slowed down, I rushed into the underwater passage first.

Uncle Mei and Xiao Liang reacted the fastest, and immediately followed left and right, Jiang Yongguang did not hesitate, and swam up after him.

Several other Xiaoling guards did not have stage fright, and chased after them one by one, and our group finally dived into this strange passage that was impacted by the groundwater.

Based on what I have just observed, I realized that it only takes seven or eight minutes for the undercurrent to weaken, so we must find a safe area of water during this time, or go directly to the ancient tomb and go ashore, otherwise once the next wave of strong water hits, the terrifying impact will be beyond our reach.

I swam forward desperately, and at the same time observed the surrounding environment with the help of the light of the diving headlamp on the door of my head, only to see that this should not be a robbery hole, but a river that was impacted by the groundwater, the rock walls on both sides were washed by the water flow very smooth, and the scale of the cave was also very large, but since the remains of the tomb robbers could be rolled to the Tuojiang River through this waterway, it means that this place should not be very far from the ancient tomb.

Just as I was looking around, I suddenly felt someone tap me on the shoulder.

I turned my head sharply and saw the policewoman Xiao Liang coming over at some point, she looked at me with a frightened look on her face, and pointed to the position behind us.

"What's wrong?" I asked, but the voice was grunting and I couldn't hear clearly.

It was only from Xiao Liang's big eyes that sparkled with horror that I realized that something creepy might have happened.

Seeing that I didn't react, Xiao Liang desperately pointed to the back of the team again, and then stretched out his right hand and gestured a nine gesture to me with his index finger.

I immediately understood what she meant.

Nine, which means that there are nine people in the water this time.

"Has anyone been left behind? Missing one person in the ranks? ”

I muttered to myself, quickly changed my swimming position, and went back to check on the team.

"One, two, three, four, five......"

I counted them one by one, counting the number of people in the line, but when I counted to the end, I couldn't help but sweat all over my body!

I finally understood why Xiao Liang was looking at me with horror in his eyes!

Because it's not that we're not missing one person, we're having one more!

When I counted to the ninth, behind him, there was a swarthy figure!

It's just that the head of the figure does not have our unified diving equipment - a headlamp, and everyone else has a bright light on their heads, but the figure is black from head to toe, and the whole body does not swing at all, like a dead corpse, but it can follow us closely against the current!

I don't know if the timid Xiao Liang was scared to pee by this ghost thing at the time, anyway, I knew that I was almost scared to pee, I roared through the oxygen mask, and then swam forward with all my milking energy.

I don't know which person in the team has a sixth sense of surprise, and when he noticed something dirty chasing us behind him, he looked back, and he was also frightened and screamed, and swam forward with me.

Xiao Liang was even more frightened, swaying his delicate figure like a mermaid, and he actually chased me after me in a short time, and even faintly surpassed my momentum.

I was scared and amused, and I wondered in my heart: "This girl is really amazing, or is she scared to play extraordinarily?" Almost beat me down......"
