Chapter 88 Tunnel Descent

Wrong!

Someone has rappelled down with a parachute again!

The sound of the parachute grinding against the air had already awakened Aaron, and it was almost an instinctive reaction, and he swam to the vicinity of the rock wall in three or two clicks.

In the next moment, there was a crisp sound, and the person who came down fell into the water, and an exclamation that was about to fall into the water completely exposed her identity, and it was Jiang Yingxue.

I didn't expect her to be impatient and parachute down, there was only one Ivan left on it, can she really let her control the overall situation?

"Bai Ning?"

A few seconds later, a crisp call sounded in this spaceless environment, the voice was cold, there was no panic, it seemed that there was no mental pollution interference, and she had already figured out everything the moment she entered the water.

"Where did the people up there descend?"

Bai Ning turned on the strong flashlight and shone it in Jiang Yingxue's direction, and asked again on business.

"More than 2,000 meters.

I didn't expect this tunnel to be so deep. ”

Listening to the sound of the water, Jiang Yingxue had already begun to swim in the direction where Bai Ning was.

"You're not here at the right time, we might be going to be here together for days."

Bai Ning teased a little casually, not looking like he was in distress at all.

"No, it won't.

The second transport plane increased the intensity of the training, and the equipment we needed would soon be brought in.

Although the environment here is a little harsh, at least there is no mental pollution, and it is a good place. ”

To say such a decisive thing in such a relaxed and casual tone, how much Jiang Yingxue paid behind her back is unknown.

"You can rest for a while.

The water here is slowly falling, and we have no idea what awaits us at the bottom. ”

Bai Ning glanced at the length of the rope on the rock wall, it had already drooped two or three meters, if it weren't for the fact that it was wrapped in water with a certain amount of buoyancy, maybe the dagger inserted in the wall would have been overwhelmed.

At this time, Jiang Yingxue also saw the rope on the wall, and didn't say anything, floating herself to save her physical strength This is common sense to save herself from drowning, and she didn't have any difficulty in doing it.

The three of them floated silently on the surface of the water, silently waiting for Ivan and the others to extend the rope down as soon as possible, but only after more than an hour, the water surface regenerated suddenly, as if something drastic had happened underwater, and the water surface in the tunnel began to be violently shaken.

The heavy dagger was finally overwhelmed and fell directly back into the water, causing a slight ripple.

As if some drainage mechanism had been activated, the water level in the tunnel was descending wildly, and at the current rate of descent, it was no different from falling directly from the sky.

The surrounding rock walls were slippery and tough, and there was no place to slow down the climbing, and if they were carried into an underground chamber by the current, the only result would be to turn into a mass of organic matter to nourish the earth.

The water surface dropped rapidly for one or two hundred meters, and then it stopped suddenly, and the three of them immediately submerged to the bottom of the water with inertia, and resurfaced, and the surrounding space seemed to be even wider.

The bright flashlight shone under the water, and it was still pitch black, and it was impossible to tell if it had descended to the bottom.

"It seems to be a larger cavity with some architectural patterns nearby, so we'd better separate and look around."

After finally calming down the chaotic aura in his body, Bai Ning proposed with a little difficulty, this is the only effective measure in the current environment, and the remaining two responded in a muffled voice, and began to move their bodies with difficulty to swim around.

"I'm only waist-down here."

After a while, a surprised voice came, and the sound of falling water droplets indicated that Jiang Yingxue had stood up.

Almost without any hesitation, Bai Ning and Ah Long accelerated and swam in the direction of Jiang Yingxue, this shallow water area is not large, about five or six square meters, and the three people standing are slightly crowded.

Bai Ning took a strong flashlight and shone around, and found that this should be a high platform of an isolated building, and the height from the ground is unknown.

"It seems that we have officially arrived in the underground ancient ruins, so let's replenish some stamina."

Bai Ning said tiredly, and then took out all the little food on his body, after the previous violent water fluctuation, the three of them had fewer materials in their hands, even if the materials were exhausted, they could only eat at most.

The only bag of self-heating field food provided the three of them with valuable caloric intake, and the warm food entered the stomach, almost like the warm sun of three winters soothing people's hearts, and the internal organs seemed to be slowly unfolding with the influx of hot food.

After eating, the water had dropped to the depth of the calf, and they continued to search with a strong flashlight, they were now under a vaulted dome, and the previous tunnel hole was not far away, still pitch black, and there was no hope of survival.

The water is still slowly descending, silent, like a beast slowly exiting in the dark, which may be a temporary relief from the current crisis, but no one knows what bigger crisis will appear.

"Go down the water, no one knows how high this decorative platform is."

If this is a magnificent vaulted hall, it may not be tens of meters high, and the silent Aaron is the first to jump into the water and inspect for a long time before resurfacing.

"There are still dozens of meters deep underwater, and the strong flashlight still can't penetrate the bottom."

Ah Long raised his head and explained in a dull manner, which was a warning in disguise.

The rapid retreat of the previous current was too frightening, and if they had to do it again, their luck might not have been so lucky.

Although the space here is cramped, it will not be difficult for Ivan and the others to land safely when they arrive here.

"It's okay, the water flows downwards and doesn't have a lateral impact, so it's good to hold on to this pillar when the time comes."

If you stay here, then there is no point in using a parachute to descend quickly, since Jiang Yingxue dares to come down, she is already ready to deal with all crises.

The three of them slowly descended along the column, and it only took more than an hour to reach a height of about thirty or forty meters, and they stepped on the solid ground again, and the three of them breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although the three of them were extremely tired, and they couldn't afford to sleep on the ground on the spot, they were soaked and the ground was cold to the bone, and they were afraid that they would never wake up if they slept here.

After a pause, the three of them began to explore the vast underground space separately, figuring out the terrain and hoping to find some of the supplies they had discarded earlier.

The abundance of rubble on the ground led all three to believe that they could find some basic supplies.

"There's a door here, but it's blocked."

There was a feedback from Aaron's exploration direction, and the three of them did not stop and continued their exploration process as expected.

Half an hour later, the entire space had finally been explored, and the empty area was like a separate cavity except for the closed gate that Aaron had discovered earlier.

Judging from the equivalent of the Tunguska explosion, the energy core that was once placed here should be very huge, and all kinds of supporting equipment should occupy the remaining space here, how can it be so empty as it is now?

With such a question, Bai Ning slowly groped his way to the central area of the cavity, where there was a tunnel above, and the ground was a pedestal one or two meters high, on which a pile of more than ten meters of rubble was piled up.

If they're lucky, the equipment they discarded should end up stuck in the rubble.

Without the slightest hesitation, the three of them drove their tired bodies to climb the low pile of rocks, and in a short time, all three of them had a harvest, and some self-heating convenience food was rummaged through.

Trembling hands to disassemble the self-heating bag, the warm touch was like holding a red charcoal fire in winter, the three of them were eating and searching, a large amount of expedition equipment was found and concentrated.

While eating warm food and looking for equipment, the double calorie guarantee makes the body gradually full of vitality.

Leaning on the stone pile to rest for a while, as if the sleepiness of this life was surging in, the three people who knew that they couldn't rest cheered up and counted the supplies, and they had been found, and the rest was estimated to have been scattered in the huge cavity.

The three of them sat around a lit camping gas stove, and the warm flame made the stiff limbs gradually full of vitality.

People can fall asleep when they are squatting, and the three of them are silent at the same time, and they have all entered a short sleep state.

After a while, Bai Ning woke up from the dream, stretched his muscles, and found that the gas stove had not been extinguished, which showed that they had not rested for a long time.

At this time, Jiang Yingxue was already curled up and lying on the ground, it seemed that the fatigue during this time had made her tend to collapse, and the place without mental pollution was indeed the best place to sleep.

Aaron had already woken up, and the flickering aperture in the distance meant that he was looking for the remaining supplies.

"Well, is there any other way out besides the doorway I found earlier?"

Bai Ning's slightly hoarse inquiry made the distant aperture stunned, and the stopped light shone on Bai Ning, but no response came.

What's going on?

No matter how dull Ah Long is, he should respond with a sentence or two at this time, just as the question in Bai Ning's heart suddenly arises, the previous light source suddenly fell to the ground, making a series of rolling crisp sounds.

It's as if the previous being holding the light source has suddenly disappeared.

Such a strange scene was staged in this dark underground space, so Bai Ning immediately glanced at the vicinity of the gas stove, and indeed did not find Ah Long's figure.

According to the general logical reasoning, the one who held the light source before must be Ah Long.

"Aaron?"

Bai Ning asked suspiciously, but no response came, as if Ah Long had really disappeared completely.

Dreamland?

Strange creatures in the ancient ruins?

Spirits capable of producing supernatural phenomena?

All kinds of thoughts were churning in Bai Ning's mind, and he was not in a hurry to confirm the area of the strange phenomenon just now, Bai Ning directly woke up the sleeping Jiang Yingxue.

Jiang Yingxue, who was awakened, saw that it was Bai Ning, and there was more doubt in her eyes, he knew that Bai Ning would never wake her up for no reason, and now there must be something unexpected.
