Chapter 102: Seeing the Light of Day Again
I used a waterproof flashlight to look around, and I could see that I was now in another enclosed space, with a thick ice wall on it, and I could vaguely see the light outside. The water in it did not completely fill the space, leaving a half-meter gap between the top and bottom, which is the few air in this confined space, giving us a chance to breathe.
At this time, the three of them appeared one after another, and due to the long-term immersion in the water, the three of them turned unusually pale, and their speech began to tremble. I hurriedly divided the power stones among the three of them to keep warm, and the whole son hugged the power stones for a while, and then handed them to Ah Fang.
"What's going on?" I asked. "It doesn't seem to be an exit, it's sealed."
Jeonzi glanced at the light outside the ice and said, "I wonder if this is the exit, is it freezing because the weather outside is bad!" ”
Ah Fang said, "Take it slowly, don't be in a hurry." At this time, let's calm down! ”
"Wait a minute, I'll dive in and see what happens!" ”
Ai Qin handed the power stone to Quanzi and said, "You hold it!" ”
Jeonko kissed the stone and said, "Hey, this power stone is such a good thing!" With that, we dived back into the pool of water that we had just emerged.
It is estimated that after more than a minute, the whole son finally came out, but the first sentence was, "It's so strange! ”
"How?" I asked hurriedly.
"This waterhole is so strange, there is a strong upward undercurrent at the beginning of this water, and there is a great force pushing me up, and I can't dive at all. I floated in the water and wondered, but I swam down for a while, and suddenly the bottom of the water seemed to have been cut into a hole, and a powerful whirlpool suddenly sucked me in. I struggled desperately to stabilize my body, and the momentum of this undercurrent swallowing mountains and rivers made me dare not stay in the water for long, and hurriedly got out! Quanzi said.
"You just said that when you entered the water, there was a force in the water pushing you up?" I asked Quanzidao. "And then go down, and there's another force that sucks you down?"
Jeonko didn't answer, just nodded.
"But we didn't find any anomalies in the water up there, did we?" Ai Qin was holding the energy stone at this time, and his state was much better and said.
A light flashed in my heart, as if something we had overlooked before had now figured it out.
Yes, the secret of this water is the principle of the fountain as Ah Fang said, but this 'fountain' does not refer to the cave and the outlet of the dark river, but to the cave and its exit. In this way, the exit of Zhao Dong can also be explained above. He's actually telling us to go out and enter from below the water's surface, and then use the power of the water column to push us out, that is, from above.
Although we have just experienced it, this is not an exit at all, we are completely overhead with a thick layer of ice, but the water here is constantly pouring in, so where does the water come out of here?
Quanzi gave the energy stone to the two girls at this moment, and asked me with a shudder, "Dezi! Whether it's up or down, you hurry up and get an idea, I'm really cold! ”
"Let's get out of here." I glanced at the three good comrades-in-arms in front of me who were born and died, and said. It's all my guess, but if we continue like this, we'll all die, so we'll have to take a risk now.
There may be a staggered exit down here, after all, it is no longer practical to get out of this ice.
I continued, "In my opinion, the exit should be at the end of our pool, so Zhao Donglai didn't say that the exit was above our heads, so we had to go down. I've just thought about Quanzi's words, and I think the exit should be under this invisible water. ”
"Below?" Aichen asked, "Isn't it under our feet, how can it be above our heads?" ”
"If we dive, people will be upside down!" I said, "I didn't understand Zhao Donglai's words before, I thought that we could find the exit from this tunnel, and the exit he said was above our heads, but in fact I was referring to the top of our heads in the water. ”
"But I just had a huge thrust in the water!" Jeonko said.
"The thrust you just said was caused by the current of the tunnel where we came out, and you said that there was a downward suction force after you dived for a while, indicating that there is another outlet under the water!" I said.
"I also agree with Tokuko, this exit must be under this water." Ah Fang took my words and continued.
"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up! Quanzi said.
"Then let's go like this, in case the old five ......," Aichen asked.
"Don't wait, he won't go out with us!" I said.
"Wait a minute, Dezi, Quanzi, have you ever thought about what to do next after we go out this time?" Fong asked.
"The Chen family is resolutely unable to go back. Since the fifth child has helped us solve our worries. We also know a lot of secrets about the Wansheng Stone that we shouldn't know, and I'm afraid we won't be able to get out again if we go back this time. Jeonzi analyzed.
"Quanzi is right, we can't go back, we escape!" I say.
"Run?" The three of them looked at me in amazement.
"Yes, let's run away, and we won't go back to Chen's house. Go back, just as Quanzi said, there is more evil and less luck. The organization no longer trusts us and we can't trust the organization anymore, so there's no point in working together. And you think, even if we find the stone, I am afraid that there will be more endless strife and war. I paused and continued, "We're just ordinary people who are supposed to live a good life. And now for the sake of these broken stones, do you still feel the need to stay on? ”
"But how are we going to escape, and what are we going to do with our families when we escape?" Ai Qin said worriedly.
"It's still unknown to us if we can't get out!" I said, "Actually, let's not think that we are running away, I mean whether we get out of here alive or not, we should treat it as if none of us got out alive!" ”
"Oh, Tokuko, you mean, as long as we don't go back, the first thought of the organization will be that we're dead here, right?" Ah Fang understood what I meant in an instant.
"Dezi's idea is certainly good, but have you ever thought about what we can do when we get out?" Quanzi said what I thought when I met Lao Wu before.
"The world is so big, isn't there a place for the four of us, so many lives and deaths have been experienced, and we will starve to death when we go out to live in the sun?" Speaking of which, I suddenly understood how sad those heroes who were going to retire were.
I continued, "If everybody agrees with this decision, then you should also be prepared that we will not be able to see our family or friends for a short time or a long time, even though we don't have any friends anymore. And we need to be vigilant at all times, because we all know how powerful the organization we are facing. If we get out alive, we're going to have to do everything we can to survive, you know? ”
The three of them nodded silently. We all know very well that once we make this decision, we will either have a hard time living or a painful death.
I grabbed Ai Qin's hand and turned back to Ah Fang Quanzi and said, "Ai Qin and I will go first, and we will live and die together!" ”
Ah Fang and Quanzi were also moved, "Life and death together!" ”
After saying that, Ai Qin and I held hands and plunged into the cold pool of water. After entering, it was exactly the same as Quanzi said, at first the water pressure hit the top, and the dive was very difficult. It took a lot of effort to break through this confinement, and suddenly a strong gravitational force sucked our bodies, and we 'rubbed' into the depths of the icy pool.
There was a lot of turbulence in the water, and it was dark all around, so I hurriedly turned on the waterproof flashlight, and then Quanzi and Ah Fang also dived down.
At this moment, the huge suction force under our feet instantly increased, and several of us had no diving equipment, so we were all relying on the breath we had just held.
As the force under him increases, the temperature of the surrounding water becomes lower and lower. The four of us tumbled with the power of the water, our bodies had already lost our bearings, and our body temperature was getting lower and lower, and I held Ai Qin's hand tightly, ready to be frozen into popsicles.
My lungs were injured before, but now this breath makes the whole lung about to explode, I can't help the discomfort of my lungs, I just choked on a mouthful of water, I know that if it goes on like this, it won't be long before my stomach will burst.
At this moment, a strange force hit the soles of his feet. I thought to myself, there won't be a big monster in this water that we don't know, and this strange force pushed us to rush towards it quickly.
But then I heard the sound of the ice cracking overhead, and then a golden light shone obliquely from the water. I didn't have time to close my eyes, oh my! Is that the sun on the water, are we coming out?
The four of us couldn't help but speed upstream, but our bodies were already frozen and we didn't have any strength to paddle, so we could only continue to push us up with the force under our feet.
The light in the water grew brighter and brighter, and the light became more and more abundant, until finally the top of my head was lighter, and then my mouth and nose were exposed to the water, and I took a greedy breath of air, and the pain in my lungs suddenly decreased.
Wow! Alive, we came out alive.
At this time, Bian Quanzi and Ah Fang also surfaced one after another.
At this point I looked around and saw that we were in the middle of a lake, and the water was very quiet, except for the ripples that the four of us had just caused.
Looking at the still tumbling lake under my feet, I suddenly understood that it was not a monster that had just sent us out, but the eyes of the lake that were surging up, which are often referred to as sea eyes and springs. No wonder it has so much power, but why is this lake so strange...... Oh, I don't want to think about it, I have so much to think about why I can't think about it.
Now I'm completely frozen, I miss that warm stone, and now I can hold even a fireball in front of me.
Except for Ai Qin, who was holding the power stone, the three of us were frozen and couldn't speak, but fortunately, the temperature on the surface of the lake was much higher than underwater, and the warm sun was shining directly on us, and the body temperature finally began to recover slowly.
The four of us floated on the water like dead people, exchanging energy stones for warmth, greedily breathing the air, greedily feeling the sun, greedily enjoying the pleasure of living.
The air is so good, the sun is so good, it's good to be alive.
