Chapter 22: A Strange Face

The hair was wrapped around my ankles, and it was not very neat because I had torn it so hard, and it was dripping with water.

I tore my hair off my ankles and threw it into the campfire, my hands were sticky with a lot of corpse oil, I smelled the burnt smell of burning protein from the fire, and I almost didn't vomit the overnight meal for no reason.

Hurriedly got up and went to the dark river to wash off the corpse oil on his hands, which calmed down a lot, and when he took off the shoes tied to his waist and put them on, he took the time to open Zhang Yu's hiking bag.

Fortunately, Zhang Yu is also a hunter, and the outside of the mountaineering bag we prepared in advance is lined with waterproof fabric with steel fiber, and there is almost no water seepage inside.

By the light of the fire, I counted the contents of the contents, a military flashlight, a miner's lamp, a folding sapper shovel, a 30-meter climbing rope, some compressed biscuits and instant noodles, and finally a few bottles of mineral water.

What surprised me was that there was a stainless steel wine jug in Zhang Yu's hiking bag, and I couldn't read the foreign text engraved on the outside of the jug, but when I unscrewed the cap, a smell of wine wafted out.

I poured several sips in a row, and then I felt a warmth gushing out of my body from the inside out, and then I tore open the compressed biscuits, ate two pieces, and drank half a bottle of mineral water, and the whole thing was alive.

Sitting by the campfire, I began to think about my next step, the white bone corpse in the dark river was obviously dead for a while, it should be the same group of people who blew up the mountain and robbed the tomb in Longbei Mountain more than a hundred years ago.

I don't know how he died, but this incident still reminded me that robbing tombs and taking treasures is not a dinner party, and I must be more cautious when there are many dangers underground, otherwise I will be doomed if I take a wrong step.

There was a crackling sound in the campfire, and I took out the folding sapper shovel and loaded it up.

I don't know what kind of steel is used for this thing, the shovel mouth is sharp, the shovel head is strong but does not appear heavy, the shaft can be rotated and contracted, and it is completely pulled out to be as long as one meter four or five, and the handle is made of thin cowhide and the handguard is specially changed to the thread, which is both sweat-absorbing and non-slip is indeed a good thing.

I checked the flashlight and the headlamp again, and based on the remaining power, the flashlight can be used for up to four hours, and the headlamp can only illuminate for up to three hours.

It's hard to walk without light in the dark underground, I'm too unfamiliar with the environment here, I can't make it to the end with a flashlight and a miner's lamp on my head, and I came up with a brilliant way to look at the blazing campfire next to me.

The dark river washed up a lot of branches and tattered clothes on the bank of the river, I picked a few thick branches and clothes and picked them up and put them around the campfire to roast, the damp branches and clothes quickly became dry and flammable, I used a dagger to cut off the branches and leaves, split a crack from one end and tightly wound the torn clothes around the branches, and finally clamped the remaining clothes corners with cracks, so as to make a simple torch.

It was a simple and effective method, and I quickly made six or seven torches to stick in my hiking bag.

After packing up my things around the campfire, I lit a torch and began to walk down the river, the cave was cold and damp, and not long after I left the campfire, I felt that the temperature had dropped a lot.

Not long after walking along the dark river, the first torch burned out, and I hurriedly pulled out the second torch from my hiking bag and replaced it.

The deeper you go into the cave, the darker it becomes, and the faint light of the torches slowly swallows up like matches in a dark room.

I took out the miner's lamp from my hiking bag and put it on my head, turned on the switch, and suddenly it lit up a lot under my feet.

But I couldn't help but be secretly surprised in my heart, only to see that the light of the miner's lamp disappeared completely as if it had been swallowed by a monster in the darkness, and I tried to look up to make my heart sink even more, only to see that there was still a cloud of darkness above my head.

It was as if I was in an abyss, with no boundaries around me and above my head.

I was not convinced and took out the flashlight, you must know that this is a military flashlight, the strongest beam can shine hundreds of meters, but to my surprise is that the beam of the military flashlight is still swallowed by the darkness.

I couldn't help frowning, I originally thought that the big hole above my head next to the campfire was the big hole that the earth mouse Lao Liu blasted open, but now it seems that I was washed into a huge space by the dark river after losing consciousness.

It's no wonder that it took so long to see Scarface and the bald man come to me, and the feeling is that they didn't find me at all.

A great sense of fear came over me, the mountain under my feet was a pimple of stones, and I didn't know if I could find Zhang Yu to find Suolongtan and walk out of here alive.

As I was thinking, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a sharp glimpse of a man in a hat crouching on the bank of the river in front of me, the light of the torches was so dim that I couldn't see what he looked like.

I touched the dagger to make a defensive move, and whispered tentatively: "Old fish? Is that you, old fish? ”

I didn't dare to turn on the miner's lamp or flashlight, because I didn't know where I was, and there was a group of ruthless earth rats in addition to me and Zhang Yu underneath this half of the mountain.

In case the person in front of me is convenient for the gang of earth rats, I rashly turn on the miner's lamp or alarm the gang of earth rats with a flashlight, and it will be over.

I didn't hear the man's answer in the darkness, and the dead silence around me was terrible, and I could almost hear my own nervous heartbeat.

I guess the voice was too small just now, so the voice raised a little and said, "Old fish? Isn't it you? ”

My voice was much louder this time, and there was an echo in the empty cave.

Just when I was worried about whether I would be discovered by the earth rats, there was a sudden snort from the other side as if in response to me.

I was overjoyed, I was so lucky to be able to find Zhang Yu in such a dark and damp cave.

I had the courage to lean over the man with a torch, only to find that Zhang Yu didn't know when to pick up a broken straw hat and put it on his head, probably because it was too cold and didn't know where to pick up a torn coat and put it on his body.

Well, it looks like this old boy is even more stumbling than me.

What made me feel ridiculous was that Zhang Yu was still shaking his back to me, and he made strange sounds in his throat from time to time.

I scolded angrily: "Okay, you old fish, don't forget to scare me at this time, right?" ”

As if I was a little embarrassed, Zhang Yu hummed and laughed a few times and then coughed a few times.

I know that this old boy has also lost his hiking bag, and it is estimated that he is now freezing so much that he is starting to catch a cold and cough.

I quickened a few steps behind him, stuck the torch in the stone mound by the dark river, and quickly untied my hiking bag to dig out something to fill his stomach.

I heard Zhang Yu behind me get up and walk over, and was about to hand over the compressed biscuit in his hand, but out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the reflection of the water.

Just at that glance, I felt a layer of cold sweat on my back, and I saw Zhang Yu walking behind me in the reflection of the water, and under his straw hat was not the familiar Zhang Yu, but a fluffy and strange face!
