Chen Si's words are absolute authority in the team. No one will doubt his judgment, although his judgment will occasionally make mistakes. After listening to his words, everyone pulled out their weapons and held them in their hands. The injuries were relatively serious.
The others were protected in the center of the team, and everything seemed orderly.
Nelson's expression was very strange. According to his and most of the American army's thinking, if the team had suffered such heavy losses, it meant that the mission had failed. They should retreat as soon as possible. But he even excepted in Chen Si
No one on the team members other than him showed any hesitation.
"The terrible Chinese!" Nelson muttered and devoted himself wholeheartedly to moving forward. It was unthinkable to leave here alone. Not to mention that he could not find a way back, even if there was one, he lacked the courage to go alone.
. Along the way, they basically stepped on the blood of their companions. If they break away from the big team, the consequences can be imagined.
There was not much space for everyone to walk along the river, and many times they had to wade into the water. However, during the fall, everyone threw away their backpacks, so they felt relaxed. Of course, this comes at the cost of relaxation.
Everyone didn't have any supplies. Even the searchlights for lighting had been lost. The only lighting tools everyone relied on were the miner's lamps on their hoods. Many people's hoods were also broken, and some people simply took off their hoods.
I also took it down. Fortunately, there is enough oxygen under the abyss. Apart from the smell of blood mixed in the air, there is nothing wrong with it.
The team that lacked supplies was not as confident as before. Chen Si also wanted to let people go into the water to salvage the materials that had been discarded before. However, the water surface was so big that trying to salvage such a small item was like looking for a needle in a haystack. After thinking about it,
He gave up the idea. But Chen Si was not too anxious, because he also had a bottle of nutritional tablets with him, which was enough for everyone to support one or two meals. There was no problem. As long as everyone acted quickly, they would be able to run out of food.
The task could have been completed before.
Gu Fengchun carried Luo Xiaodan on his back and followed Chen Si closely. When the light source was scarce, he was the beacon of the team, guiding everyone on the way forward. It was very inconvenient to walk against the river bank lined with strange rocks.
"Chen Si, this road seems to have no end..." Gu Fengchun frowned and said after walking for who knows how long. He had forgotten how many turns he had made along the river, but he couldn't see any way out.
, the river is still turbulent, the banks are still steep and high, there is no other way out, and many skeletons can be seen on the ground from time to time, adding a lot of gloom to everyone's hearts.
"You're right, I'm afraid we have entered an endless loop again." Chen Si lowered his voice: "Do you still remember the two waterfalls we saw above?"
"Yes, it is indeed the case." Gu Fengchun scratched his head and said in confusion: "What does this have to do with it?"
"When we fell down, we saw a waterfall, but what about the other waterfall? We walked for so long and couldn't see it. Why?" Chen Si asked Gu Fengchun.
Gu Fengchun thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Chen Si rolled his eyes at him and said, "Because that waterfall doesn't exist at all."
"How is it possible?" Gu Fengchun looked horrified. "If it doesn't exist, how can we see it? Moreover, Xiao Dan also saw it!" Luo Xiaodan has the eye to break the illusion. If there is a waterfall, it does not exist.
, then she must be able to discern what is behind the illusion at a glance.
"Nothing is impossible." Chen Si pondered and said, "The reason why Xiao Dan didn't find out that it was fake is because it was a mirror image, the reflection of the waterfall we saw." Chen Si thought carefully.
Wording.
"Do you have any evidence?" Gu Fengchun looked at Chen Si and asked.
Chen Si shrugged his shoulders and said: "Pay attention to your steps and every step you take. After walking for a while, you will find that you have already walked some places." Chen Si's observation ability is very keen. In
It is really not easy to find such a problem under limited light conditions.
Gu Fengchun raised his head and looked around the surroundings, and immediately took a breath of cold air. He had followed the team and turned five or six corners, but he suddenly discovered that his current position was not far from where they had just started to fall.
.
"When did you discover this?" Gu Fengchun looked surprised.
"Just now, when I turned a corner, I realized that the surrounding environment was a bit familiar, so I made a mark on the rock. Then, just now I saw the mark I made, and I concluded my idea.
"Chen Si's tone was still very calm.
"Then what should we do?" Gu Fengchun said worriedly: "It is not an option to continue like this."
Chen Si nodded and said: "I'm looking for that critical point, the critical point where we repeatedly walk this journey." Chen Si frowned and said: "But it's strange, I feel that this critical point is not
Fixed, we always go a little farther than before before starting a cycle again." When he said this, Chen Si's expression became serious: "If you can't find the critical point, think of a way to get rid of this.
dilemma, then we will be completely lost in this place."
Gu Fengchun nodded. As this cycle intensified, the distance they walked in each cycle would be lengthened by a portion. The location of the critical point became more elusive, and the possibility of finding the critical point became even more elusive.
Got up.
"Maybe the path we chose is wrong?" Gu Fengchun pondered for a while: "Maybe we should change the direction."
"Oh?" Chen Si hoped to hear some practical suggestions from Gu Fengchun.
"As we walk down the riverbed, we will return to the starting point every once in a while, and the distance will become longer every time. So looking back, if we change the direction, will there be another cycle?
Will there be a short-distance cycle, and then the distance becomes shorter each time, and finally..."
"Finally we will cross that critical point! Find a way out!" Chen Si's tone was very excited. He had already got a possibility from Gu Fengchun's conjecture. But it was just a possibility. But it is good that this possibility exists.
, it’s already worth Chen Si trying.
"Stop and walk in the direction you came from." Chen Si stopped and turned around and said.
