Chapter 172
I stepped forward quickly, and there was a clearly drawn circle in the corner where Poker-Face was standing, which was the fat man's logo.There is a protruding small sharp corner on the circle, indicating the direction of progress. In fact, as far as this place is concerned, it is not marked or affected, because there is only one way to go.
Arriving here, the water and land are already in a [-]-[-] situation. Going forward from this place, the ground can be seen to be a little wet, and it is very likely that the water and land will be mixed if you continue to move forward.What is interesting is that there is a winding wet track on the ground in this direction. This track is so thick that it almost occupies the entire ground.
Any fool knows that the snake mother probably came out of here.
Then Fatty and the others went down from here?
My first reaction was that this person is out of his mind, but Xiaohua and the blind man are with him, so the three of them will not become stupid together. If you think about it carefully, if you don’t want to go into the water here, there is no second way to go, but they are How it got here is really curious.But think about it, I can fall directly to the top of the altar, if they stepped on some mechanism and turned here directly, it is not incomprehensible.
"What do you think we should do? Let's go straight down?" I asked Pokerfing.
He nodded.
"Let me go ahead." I said, "I'll use the lights as a sign. If they can see it, they will know it's me. Otherwise, they won't distinguish between the enemy and us in the dark, and they may shoot us down."
Poker bottle pursed his lips, feeling that he felt doubts about his strength from my words, but he did not refute me, but nodded again.
I took out the flashlight. This is our last flashlight. Most of the equipment we have left in the tomb where we struggled with handmade noodles. I hope it can complete the task with honor.
The flashlight was adjusted to the penultimate gear, and I took a look forward first.
This is a downhill road, and there is no trace of artificial repair at all. The path that the mother snake crawled on the ground is very wet, and the gravel and gravel are mixed into a mud belt, which shows that there is probably still a waterway ahead.
I took another photo of the stone walls on both sides. There is nothing unusual, and there are no snake holes. At least from the current point of view, there should not be many black-haired snakes here. This is very reassuring news.
"Let's go." I said.
Along the way, I controlled the bright and dark flickering of the flashlight, and it was through this flickering that we identified each other. The slope of this road is not very steep, but there are many turns, as if deliberately trying to make the snake mother have to pay more attention. Twisting to get through.
As I was walking, I heard the sound of water below. It was under the ground. I stepped on the ground vigilantly. As expected, it was no longer loose sand. I could clearly feel that there were stone beams hanging on the ground. under the sand.
"This place is artificially elevated." I said, "There is something underneath."
Poker in the back didn't make a sound, I felt a little stupid, there are only two of us here, could it be that he found out later than I did?
In other words, this place is actually within the control of the Wang family. The stone beams of this level are actually a kind of shelter to cover the running water below. Naturally, it is impossible to lay the sand on the top to this place. Kind of situation, but it is a little strange that,
If the sound of water can be heard from above, what is the point of the bunker?It is impossible for people who can walk to this place not to notice the strange sound of water.
We continued to move forward and walked about 30 meters away, and then I was dumbfounded that there was a rock wall in front of me.
Is it a dead end?But the fat man's mark did go all the way here.If they hadn't moved on, at least they would have seen people and dead bodies.
I studied this rock wall, and there is no trace of any mechanism, and the fat man's mark has not been continued here, only the sound of rushing water can be heard below, but this is no different from us in the closed passage above. what relationship.
"Brother, is there a mechanism here?" I asked, "But if they passed by, the mechanism should be activated."
Poker bottle stepped forward, stared at the rock wall for a long time, shook his head and said, "There is no mechanism."
This is strange, could it be that they were sucked away by the Two-dimensional void when they came here?This is too unreal.
But the marks are definitely not wrong. They have come here, so what's the next step?
A terrifying idea suddenly popped up in my mind, it couldn't be that the hand-rolled noodles were dying to set up such a deadlock to black us.But in the next second, this was rejected by me. It is not ruled out that hand-rolled noodles have such vitality, but the secret signal between me and Fatty has never been used in front of him, so he will not know.
"On the ground." Poker-Face said suddenly, "If there is nothing on the wall, it will be on the ground."
I woke up like a dream, and I was looking for it with my little brother. The place here is not big, and soon, I found the fat man's mark on the ground on my side.
"Did it go down?" I stared at the arrow in a daze.
I thought of the setting that this is a stone beam, and the stone beam is a bunker, but this place is obviously rammed with sand and soil, so can you go straight down?
The sound of the water below is still ringing, as if saying yes, yes, you idiot.
Poker bottle squatted down, reached out to touch the ground, and then, right next to the mark drawn by the fat man, he quickly brushed off the sand on the surface.
After the sand was brushed away, it was still sand. I looked at it in a daze. Although I knew he had discovered something, but looking at it now, he still looked very stupid. It wasn't until Poyou Ping suddenly picked up a stone slab between his fingers that I didn't know what to do. His eyes widened in surprise.
I am already familiar with this task, picking one piece after another, but I noticed that these stone slabs are not in a neat shape, but look like they have been smashed.
After a while, a two-meter-square pothole was cleared out by the Poker bottle. It was so dark that there was no end to it. It was a relief that there was a nylon rope tied to the side of the pothole, which was the same style as ours. As expected, Fatty and the others went down from here.
I flashed a light down and there was no response, which made me a little nervous, don't they fold here.After thinking about it, this is not a simple lama, we are brothers, since they are here, no matter what I have to go down to see.
"I'm in front." Poker bottle said.
We added another rope to make sure it was firm, and then Poker Face went down to explore the way first. After confirming that there was no problem, I went down.
The bottom of this hole is still relatively closed, like a huge pipe, filled with a strong damp smell, because of the cramped environment, the smell is more obvious, it is likely that the mother snake came up from here.
After landing, I continued to see the mark left by the fat man, and as I walked along the mark, the sound of the water became more and more obvious. When I turned a corner, my eyes suddenly opened up.
Just as I imagined, there is an underground river below, the space is much more spacious, and the dark wind passes through the hall. Xiaohua and Fatty are sitting on the bank with a headlamp, playing desperately in the water.
The blind man and A Kang sat beside Xiao Hua, looking very depressed.
Seeing us appear, the lights of the black glasses shone over first, and then the fat man straightened up: "My God, you are here, if you don't come, I will suspect that you are deaf."
