Chapter 112 The hardest choice
Chapter 112 The most difficult choice
Li Jinlong let out a deep breath, and with a hey sound, he held the steel shovel in both hands and shoveled down. With a "default", the shovels rolled over, but the bottom of the coffin also cracked, revealing a deep black hole.
The Lan senior executive and Wei Haihong were both surprised and happy, so they quickly shone the lights on the entrance of the cave.
Li Jinlong stood closer, held a shovel and then knocked and repaired it. The holes were broken and it became easier to get more. In a few minutes, Li Jinlong had about 40 or 50 cm in size, which could accommodate a person's entry and exit.
Although the passage entrance has come out, no one is sure that there will be an authentic tunnel that can escape below, but hope is always more exciting.
After making the entrance of the cave better, Li Jinlong stood in the coffin and leaned down, shined the lamp into the entrance of the cave. After taking a photo, he raised his head and said, "It's right, but I don't know where it leads, and I don't know if there is any danger!"
"Is there any, I have to go down and explore now!"
Zhou Xuan said lightly.
This is true. In fact, if he doesn't need to say this, Li Jinlong and the others will use this passage as hope to save their lives.
Zhou Xuan had already transported the ice gas to detect it in the cave, but after exploring five or six meters down, it was still a small passage. At this time, his ice gas was too much loss and he could not detect further places.
The Blue Higher Stand also shone the strong lights on the bottom of the coffin and looked at it, saying, "This hole is seven or eight meters deep, and it seems that there is another place to go to the right of the bottom of the hole."
Li Jinlong took off his backpack, opened the zipper and took out a circle of nylon ropes. The rope was not big, but this circle was only twenty meters long at most.
The Lan senior executive looked at the few people around him, and in fact, there were only seven of them left. After thinking about it, he said, "Everyone prepare, who stays on it, who goes down to explore the way?"
Wei Haihong immediately said: "The two girls Xiaoqing and Fu Ying stayed behind, and the five of us men explored the way!"
Fu Ying disagreed and said directly: "Whether it is above or below, I will be with Zhou Xuan, whatever you want!"
The Lan senior executive pondered for a moment, then said, "I think this is the place of death. Anyway, if it is death, there is no difference between staying on top and below. But now we put our hope in this cave, so it is better to go all of them. If it is a way to live, then everyone will go out. If it is a way to die, then everyone will just think that they are starving to death in this stone palace. There is no difference!"
Indeed, it’s almost a desperate situation anyway. If you can’t find the exit, you can’t eat or drink, you will kill them in two or three days!
Li Jinlong wrapped the rope around the sarcophagus, then tied a knot, threw the other end into the hole, and asked hesitantly: "Who goes down first?"
Li Jinlong didn't want to walk in the front, this was a very obvious expression. Zhou Xuan thought to himself that he could not push Brother Hong and Yingying Xiaoqing in front, he had ice gas to protect himself, so he could still be guarded against any danger. If he couldn't stop him in front, there was no need to say the people behind him, no one could escape. If there was a small danger, he would be more careful than them.
Taking a step forward and stepping into the sarcophagus village, Zhou Xuan said lightly: "I'll go down first."
Fu Ying naturally followed, and Zhou Xuan wanted to go down first, but she didn't dissuade her. Anyway, she was with her and there was no difference between the top and the bottom.
Wei Haihong handed Zhou Xuan the strong light, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, but said nothing. At this time, it was no different from saying or not.
Zhou Xuan tore a lantern, put it through the handle of the strong light, then tied it to the belt around his waist, grabbed the rope with both hands, and slowly slid down the hole.
The hole inside happened to be slightly wider than a person's body. When Zhou Xuan was sliding down, he had already transported ice gas to detect the front. At the bottom of the hole, the hole on the right was 1.56 meters high.
Zhou Xuan shone the strong light in front of the hole. The hole was very deep and Zhou Xuan's ice could not be measured so far. After looking at it, Fu Ying also slid down. Zhou Xuan held her waist and let her fall slowly to the bottom. Then Wei Xiaoqing came down again.
Zhou Xuan took a few steps in front, Fu Ying and Wei Xiaoqing followed in, and the people who came down from behind had a place.
After all the people behind came down, Zhou Xuan walked forward. The passage was a bit uneven. At the beginning, the stone slab passage was still a few dozen meters away. After walking for more than ten minutes, the artificial road made of stone slabs disappeared. Then it turned out to be a natural stone cave. The cave gradually became wider and the direction of the cave gradually moved upward.
After walking for another half an hour, it seemed that the cave could accommodate three or four people walking side by side, and the terrain was getting higher and higher, just like climbing a mountain. When Zhou Xuan saw that Wei Xiaoqing was the most tired, he said, "Everyone, take a break, I don't know where the entrance of the cave is. Let's take a break before leaving."
Tired, hungry and thirsty, Li Jinlong, Li Yong, Lan senior management, Wei Haihong and others were not well enough. Zhou Xuanyi said that everyone stopped to rest.
The blue high-rise lighted the front with a strong light. The slope became steeper, but the hole seemed to have no end. I don’t know how deep the hole is, and I don’t know if this hole can go out.
Li Jinlong took a break for a while and suddenly regretted: "What a pity... every piece of those treasures is priceless, if not... or not..."
Zhou Xuan said hehe, Li Jinlong is really a guy who wants money and lives. Those treasures fell into the stone chamber, and he was still thinking about those things.
Both nephews and a niece and son-in-law died at the bottom of the cave. In Li Jinlong's mind, what he thought more strongly at this time was the treasures that were scattered in the cave.
I rested for half an hour. I usually feel that my strength has recovered when I get tired after a while, but now I feel more and more uncomfortable as I rested. I am too hungry and thirsty, and I wish I could take down all the stones and eat them a few bites.
Li Jinlong couldn't help but take out the treasure in his backpack and looked carefully. It was only at this time that he seemed to have forgotten his physical fatigue and hunger.
Zhou Xuan sighed, shook his head again, holding Fu Ying's hand tightened. In the most dangerous and dangerous situation, having the person you love the most is actually the best feeling. Only in this way can I feel that loving you and the person you love is such a happy thing.
No matter how much you get, if you want to exchange your loved one's lives, you won't be at ease to get such wealth.
The Blue Higher Admiral looked at the watch, stood up and said, "Okay, everyone get up and continue walking. While they have the last bit of energy, they can go as far as they can. Perhaps the exit is just one hundred meters away!"
The words of the senior executives of Lan are indeed very tempting. After walking for so long, the road has not yet reached its end. It is really not certain that there are still people who have gone there. The next place is the exit to the outside world. In short, this is a promising thing.
Wei Xiaoqing was the weakest. She had been hungry for a few days and forced herself to walk so far, and she almost fainted. Everyone stood up behind her, but she held the rock wall and moved a few times without getting up.
Zhou Xuan reached out and pulled the ice gas penetrated into Wei Xiaoqing's body. Wei Xiaoqing's physical strength had been exhausted to the extreme. She could not compare with Fu Ying. Fu Ying had practiced martial arts and had been strict with herself since she was a child. Her physical patience was definitely no worse than that of a strong man.
Wei Haihong is just slightly better than Wei Xiaoqing, and that is only a little better.
Zhou Xuan bit his lip. At this time, it was impossible to expect others to help Wei Xiaoqing. At the most critical moment, Li Jinlong and others could even throw away the closest person, let alone Wei Xiaoqing, whom they had never met?
Zhou Xuan looked at Fu Ying, and Fu Ying understood what he meant. At this time, Zhou Xuan would not leave Wei Xiaoqing and Wei Haihong. If everyone could not escape, they would die together. If they could escape, they would have to be together.
Fu Ying nodded, and said nothing, bent down to help Wei Xiaoqing up. Wei Xiaoqing couldn't even take a step.
Zhou Xuan squatted down and carried her on his back. Fu Ying held her behind him, walking up step by step.
At this time, Li Jinlong, Li Yong and the top executives of Lan walked faster and walked far ahead, and their thoughts of escaping became stronger and stronger.
Zhou Xuan was also supporting her with the ice gas. It was already time to be unable to hold on, but he also knew in his heart that if he didn't hold on at this time and if he let go of Wei Xiaoqing at this time, he would not know if he had the courage and determination to get her away again. So he gritted his teeth and tried his best to bite her for the last bit. Every time he took a step, his teeth bite tighter. Later, sweat flowed all over his face, and his teeth almost bit his lower lip until he bleed.
Fu Ying was very heartbroken, but she also knew that if she let go of Wei Xiaoqing at this time, she would almost have to leave her here to fend for herself. How could this heart be put down?
The cave became spacious. Zhou Xuan walked up with Wei Haihong and Fu Ying, but found that the Lan High-level, Li Jinlong and Li Yong were all dazed here.
Zhou Xuan was gasping, Fu Ying shone the edge with a strong light and turned along the cave wall. Zhou Xuan also followed him and there was no more way here. Apart from the hole that just came up, this place was a space of dozens of square meters, with no way to go in the front three directions and above the head.
Zhou Xuan then slowly put Wei Xiaoqing down, and Wei Haihong also sat down and took a breath.
Zhou Xuan didn't have the mood to rest, so he quickly walked to the Blue Senior Manager and the others, but saw that the three of them were all looking down at the underground in front of him.
Zhou Xuan looked over and couldn't help but be stunned!
In front of the three of them there was a pit of about two meters in diameter. Apart from this pit, there was no way to go in other directions.
Zhou Xuan extended the strong light to the entrance of the cave and shone it down. The cave was six or seven meters deep, and there was a deep blue pool of water below. The water was living water, and the sound of the water flow could be heard.
No wonder the three of Lan and the others were stunned. They ran here with the idea, but there was still a dead end!
Except for Zhou Xuan and Fu Ying who have underwater experience, no one else has it. In the gloomy and dangerous underground cave, the Blue High-rise, Li Jinlong, Li Yong and others would rather stay in the cave than want to flow into such an underground river. It's so terrible!
The rope was gone, and Zhou Xuan carried the ice gas downward. When he was in his best condition, the distance of ice gas exploration could reach fifteen meters, but it is difficult now even seven or eight meters. The distance from the pit to the water surface is already six or seven meters high. Zhou Xuan's ice gas could not be explored one meter under the water, and the depth of the water and the flow environment before and after could not be explored.
After thinking about it, Zhou Xuan said to the Lan Senior Manager, Li Yong and the other three: "Lan Senior Manager, I want to see the situation under the hole, but there is no rope. You guys grabbed my feet and put me down, and I will see the situation."
Fu Ying was shocked and said, "No, I'm all weak now. What if I fall down if I accidentally fall?"
"Don't worry." Zhou Xuan didn't want to present a hero, but now he is the only one with this ability. If he doesn't want to lead the way to do things, how can he rely on others to do it? If he doesn't find an exit, everyone will be dead, and even have no courage to walk back to the palace of the big sarcophagus below!
"Blue senior management, you have four or five people, two of them caught me with one foot. I think I should be able to hold on!"
Zhou Xuan looked at them and asked.
To be honest, Li Jinlong still admired Zhou Xuan very much. In every dangerous situation, this ordinary young man stood up and took the lead. He believed that he could not do such a thing and was afraid of death. This is a problem that most people could not face, even the emperor was the same. Even if he had the world and everything, he could not have immortality.
The Blue Senior Manager looked at Li Yong, then looked at Li Jinlong, nodded and said, "Okay, Li Yong and I will grab one leg, Li Jinlong, the third brother and Miss Fu Ying, you three will grab the other leg."
Zhou Xuan no longer hesitated, lifted the strong light and bent down. The five people separated two groups, clutching one of his legs tightly, and then slowly putting him down. In this way, Zhou Xuan's ice gas could extend downward by two more meters.
After being placed at the lowest position, Zhou Xuan's ice gas had already reached the bottom of the water. The water was just over one meter deep. Zhou Xuan could not measure it on the cave. It was clear that it was released. It also detected that the water hole below flowed east and west, and the water surface was about half a meter gap from the wall of the cave on the top. Although it could not be measured further, it also made Zhou Xuan a little happy!
After walking up from the ground so high, it is eight or nine hundred meters without a thousand meters. Zhou Xuanluo estimated that this location should not be too far from the surface of the ground outside, and the groundwater flow in this pit is very likely to flow out of the surface. If you just go down like this, it will be dangerous. Maybe you can enter a deeper underground Yin River, and then they will be done!
