Chapter 87 Air Support
A rope across the mouth of the tunnel was quickly erected, Bai Ning hung his hands on the rope and slowly moved to the center of the tunnel, and then decisively let go of the rope and descended quickly.
Ah Long soon came to the center of the tunnel, and the two wearing headlamps and goggles quickly disappeared into the tunnel.
At the same time, the outlaws who were still in the tunnel turned on their flashlights and shone on the cliff opposite, pointing out the height of the descent for Bai Ning and Ah Long.
As the two of them passed through the light curtains, the distance of more than 1,300 meters seemed to be fleeting, and at this time, Bai Ning, who was already extremely fast, suddenly opened the parachute, and with a "bang", the huge sound of opening the parachute turned into sound waves and reverberated in the vertical tunnel.
Under the guidance of the voice, Ah Long, who was falling behind him, immediately opened his parachute, watching two white afterimages fall rapidly from his eyes, and the outlaw who fell at the bottom only felt that the madness of his life was just a small fight of young children.
What is Extreme Life?
That's Extreme Life!
A ruthless person who really dares to walk a tightrope before the ghost gate closes.
Human beings have no wings, but they are the tallest creatures on earth, relying on the courage and courage to soar in the mountains and valleys.
The outlaw used to feel that meat eaters were despised, and those high-ranking existences were just some wastes that took advantage of the situation, but now it seems that borrowing the situation is borrowing the situation, and whether you can grasp it or not still depends on your own creation.
They are taking money to sell their lives, but if there is a spiritual leader who can lead the way in front of them, this life will be sold a little bloody.
People will always move themselves in things that they can empathize with, and Bai Ning's earth-shattering jump has gained the admiration and admiration of many outlaws.
The parachute made Bai Ning's speed decrease rapidly, and this feeling of constantly falling towards the infinite dark abyss was as if he was floating into the infinite and vast dark universe.
The same unknown way back, the same inexplicable fear.
Holding a strong flashlight to shine on the surrounding cliffs, the heat and humidity here make the granite stand out and have a strange appearance, with no signs of life, as if it is a dead place.
With such a long vertical tunnel, I don't know how the original explosion core was launched.
According to the general logical reasoning, there should be a launch device at the lowest end of the tunnel, but it continued to descend several hundred meters, and the overall depth was nearly two thousand meters, which still gave people a sense of endlessness.
The only thing that feels like this place is that it is sweltering, like staying in a steamer that is gradually heating up, and if they continue to land like this, the two of them, who have no means to stop at all, will be slow cooked at low temperatures, and die in endless tunnels.
This kind of death without touching the ground seems to have some fairy tale colors, and it is said that there is a bird that will only land once in its life, and when it lands, it will also usher in its ultimate death.
The hot and humid air made it more difficult for Bai Ning to breathe, indicating that there should be a large amount of hot water stored at the bottom of the tunnel, and even the millions of tons of water that had been rushing down from the lake had not been able to cool it down in the slightest.
Is there a lava pool underneath the tunnel?
If the final landing site is a hot underground river, then this kind of death is a bit too funny.
I don't know if it's because the impact of mental pollution on Bai Ning is stronger, or if the accumulation of this period of time has made his nervous system on the verge of collapse, Bai Ning's mind is full of cranky thoughts, like experiencing an infinitely long lucid dream.
It was another period of landing that I don't know how long it was, and the humid and hot environment nearby suddenly disappeared in an instant, and a cool air flow enveloped it, making Bai Ning, who was chaotic in his mind, instantly excited.
The strong stimulation of his whole body made him feel like he suddenly ran from the sauna to the ice and snow, this heartfelt comfort made Bai Ning's mind clear, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, and the mental pollution like a nightmare disappeared together.
I took out a strong flashlight from the zipper pocket of my jacket and shone it around, the granite cliff was still there, but there was no damp moisture on it, which was very strange.
Now I am afraid that it has penetrated more than 3,000 meters into the ground, and the temperature around it should be at least about 50 degrees.
Have you officially arrived at the edge of the Ancient Ruins?
After a while, Bai Ning felt that the wind pressure around him seemed to increase a lot, which was caused by the air at the bottom of the tunnel being compressed by a parachute.
In general, this should not be possible, since the tunnel here can hold millions of square meters of lake water, how can the bottom of the tunnel be impermeable?
Could it be that the pouring water of the lake has completely annihilated the space at the bottom of the tunnel, and he and Ah Long are about to land above the water?
The vertical tunnel of more than 3,000 meters is completely not enough to see with the ropes dropped by the transport plane, and for a long time in the future, Bai Ning and Ah Long will be trapped on the water.
Before Bai Ning finished his melancholy, a stream of water vapor had already hit Bai Ning's face, and the flashlight shone downward, still bottomless darkness, but it seemed that some light could be seen reflected on the nearby cliffs.
Sure enough, it was flooded.
If the lake flooded the underpass, he and Aaron might have been soaked here for an unknown amount of time.
Using the walkie-talkie to contact Aaron in the sky, Bai Ning was ready to enter the water.
The cold and piercing feeling instantly enveloped his whole body, and Bai Ning, who didn't have time to feel it, quickly swam to the side, and struggled to untie the parachute bag on his body, beware of being trapped in the water by the parachute surface.
The sound of Aaron falling into the water followed, and he landed directly on the parachute surface floating on the water, and the whole person was covered between the two umbrella surfaces, and he was about to be drowned in this unknown depth of water.
Bai Ning, who surfaced, did not hear the sound of panicked struggle, and Ah Long's calmness was obviously worthy of his strength.
Just as Bai Ning wanted to help Ah Long and pull the entangled parachute, Ah Long had already surfaced from the water on the other side.
It was clear that Aaron used the knife he was carrying with him to break through the parachute's double pinch.
Don't panic, don't move blindly, what traps Ah Long is only two rags, and the water body is no longer an absolute constraint for Ah Long, and the buoyancy also reduces Ah Long's pressure a lot.
There was no cheering or celebration for the rest of his life, not even mutual well-being inquiries, Ah Long just glanced at Bai Ning, who was also floating on the water, and swam to the cliff on his own.
If they really have to wait here for a few days for the follow-up team, it is obviously unrealistic for them to tread water here, and no matter how strong the soldier king is, he will have to die of exhaustion here.
What's more, the water here is bitterly cold, and a rapid loss of temperature will make the person who soaks in the water die faster.
Bai Ning searched around, but found no cracks in the almost smooth rock wall, such a natural stone wall, it was really hard to imagine what it was excavated from.
After all, more than ten kilograms of things on his body were a burden, and soon Bai Ning felt that his physical strength was about to reach the limit, and just as Bai Ning was about to throw away the equipment on his body, the sound of tapping metal came from the darkness opposite.
"Did you find the crack?"
Bai Ning asked loudly, the echo of the tunnel was not loud, with a slightly special reverberation.
"Sort of. You can come over and help give it a try. ”
Aaron's response was still dull, and it was clear that he had found a crack that was trying to stick the sharp dagger into it.
In order to conserve his strength, Bai Ning did not respond, and the sound of swimming strokes was the biggest response to him.
When Bai Ning got closer, he found that Ah Long's face was much paler than expected, and the equipment on his body was dozens of kilograms, and it was a miracle that he was able to hold on until now.
At this time, he was still trying to knock the dagger in his hand into the stone wall, looking at the depth of the tip of the knife, he could only give people a kind of comfort that was better than nothing.
"Throw away the useless stuff. Just keep the food for a day or two. ”
After looking around the neighborhood, Bai Ning's sudden voice made Ah Long stunned for a moment.
Throw away all the equipment they have at hand, and they will lose all their chances of saving themselves, and if the personnel above do not arrive in time, they will die a terrible death.
What's more, the length of the tunnel was already a bit desperate, and if they were rescued in too bad a state, they wouldn't even have a chance to return to the surface.
"The water is slowly falling."
Without wanting to explain too much, Bai Ning was already cleaning his backpack after finishing speaking, and a large number of things were thrown away, leaving only some food and emergency light sources.
Ah Long did not hesitate, everything that could be thrown was thrown away, only an extra pistol in his hand, hanging everything on the dagger, Ah Long couldn't wait to start breathing with his abdomen, and the whole person was floating on the water like a floating corpse.
Looking at Ah Long's slow and deep breathing, Bai Ning knew that he had lost most of his physical strength in the process of treading water just now.
Bai Ning also floated on the surface of the water in the same way, and the tunnel was dark and quiet, like two thousand-year-old corpses soaked here, waiting for the opportunity to re-unseal.
More than an hour later, from Ah Long's even breathing, Bai Ning could see that he was already in a state of light sleep, and it seemed that he had been tortured by mental pollution in the past few days.
Although Bai Ning also wanted to make up for sleep, he felt that he didn't have the kind of ability that Ah Long had, so he could only close his eyes as much as possible and recover his overdrawn spirit as much as possible.
Just when Bai Ning thought that he would stay quietly like this for several days, there was a familiar sound of breaking the air above his head, and something was thrown down.
