Chapter 10 The Underground Lake

Our wooden handle grenade is the standard equipment of infantry. It consists of three parts. The upper part is covered with iron sheet to form a cylindrical shape, and the lower part is a wooden handle. When it is fired, the explosive inside excites the iron sheet fragments to kill the enemy. The power is
It's not very strong.
The big man left a grenade behind, and I took the other one. Seeing that many fireballs were coming, I pulled out the fuse and threw the grenade with the wooden handle spitting out white smoke.
The grenade exploded into a cloud of white smoke, and a dozen blue fireballs flying in front were hit by the exploding shrapnel and fell to the ground and were extinguished, but more fireballs continued to swarm in from behind.
Luo Ning was in front, and the other three people were behind, using the semi-automatic rifles in their hands to fire and withdraw. Each of them had more than twenty bullets, and they were all shot in less than two minutes.
If you want to deal with the blue fireballs formed by those weird ladybugs, you can only shoot them with a gun. The slightest contact with them will be set on fire. A rifle without bullets is better than a fire stick.
The big man threw away his rifle, took out the last grenade, and shouted to me: Lao Hu, it's time, can you fix it?
Luo Ning and I supported Gawa, and the four of us formed a circle, wrapping the grenade in the big man's hand in the middle. I stared at the grenade in front of me. As long as the big man pulled the string, we would all be destroyed in a few seconds.
The final moment has finally arrived.
At this time, I'm not going to think too much about other things. First, those fireballs are getting closer and closer, and I don't have time to think about it. Secondly, I'm worried that thinking too much about life, death, and death will make me weak. I always think
Being a super fighting hero like Yang Gensi, but not dying on the battlefield, but walking to the end of his life under the Kunlun Mountains for no apparent reason. I really don’t want to accept it. I have to let the big man detonate the grenade.
.
Luo Ning had closed her eyes tightly and waited for death. She suddenly thought of something and stood up to hold us back: "You hear the sound of water flowing so loudly. We are very close to the underground river. Let's jump into the river quickly."
Just now, I was only focused on shooting, and then I was planning to commit suicide with a grenade. I had already forgotten about the underground river. In the rush, I didn't hear the sound of the rumbling water. After hearing Luo Ning's words, I thought that there was still a way to survive.
, if we can jump into the river in advance, although those fireballs are powerful, they will not be able to do anything to us.
It was too late, but soon, thousands of blue fireballs were already close at hand. The four survivors were eager to survive and ran desperately towards the roar of the water.
Listening to the sound of water, we were only a dozen meters away. We couldn't run a few steps. When we passed the turning point at the end of the underground cavity, a large waterfall appeared in front of us. There was a large natural underground lake under the waterfall.
Before I had time to take a closer look, I felt a heat in my back and a pain like scratching my heart and liver. It must have been a fireball that had hit my back. As long as it caught a small spark, the flames would immediately engulf my whole body. At this critical moment of life and death, where could I go?
Before he could think too much, he jumped into the lake.
In the chaos, I saw that the big man and three other people were also burned, screaming and jumping into the lake one after another. I plunged into the water with a sudden movement, and the blue flames on my body were immediately extinguished by the lake water.
Water and fire are incompatible, and the other flying insects seem to know the power of the lake. They only linger two or three meters away from the lake surface and dare not rush down to attack.
I popped my head out of the water to take a breath, and found that the big man had also emerged, but there was no trace of Luo Ning and Gawa. I was worried that they didn't know the nature of water and would drown in the lake, so I took a deep breath and prepared to dive into the water again to rescue them.
At this time, Luo Ning had already floated up from the lake with Gawa in his arms.
It turned out that Gawa had never swum in her life. After jumping into the lake, she choked on the water and fainted. Luo Ning happened to see him and dived into the lake to rescue him. Fortunately, the drowning time was not long and Gawa coughed.
After a few sips of water, I woke up again.
Tibetan custom prohibits bathing and swimming in the lake, so Gawa kept chanting sutras and begging the Buddha to forgive her sins.
The sky above the lake was illuminated by countless fireballs as bright as day. The four people gathered together. Although it was early spring, they felt that the underground water was not cold. Instead, they felt slightly warm. It was a warm water lake formed by geothermal effects.
.
The big man cursed: Mom, pull your ass, the gun is gone and it sank to the bottom of the lake.
I reminded him: We have no bullets, and it’s useless to ask for a gun. Now let’s quickly find a way to leave. Keep your head lower and be careful of those bugs rushing down.
The big man didn't believe that those bugs covered with fire could rush into the lake. He grinned stupidly, and soon his smile froze. Thousands of blue-light fireballs were gradually gathering to form a huge ball.
The flames rushed down with a roar, and he quickly got back into the lake.
I took a breath and was about to go down when I saw Gawa next to me who was stunned. He was naturally afraid of the lake and did not dare to dive into the lake to escape. I had to force his head into the water and pulled his arm backwards towards him.
Swim deep.
The diameter of the fireball reached tens of meters, and when it touched the lake surface, it caused water vapor to steam. Although the fireball was large and the lake was wider, the suicide attack methods of the ladybug suicide squads could not be effective, and they drowned in the water one after another.
The bottom of the lake was originally dark, but illuminated by the firelight above, I could barely see the environment more than ten meters underwater. There were countless big fish swimming slowly in the depths of the water. These fish were completely different from those I had seen before. The big fish had extremely long whiskers.
It is long and resembles a salmon. Because it lives in a dark environment, its eyes have degenerated, leaving only two white spots.
I was startled by the strange appearance of these big fish, and I took a few sips of water. Then I saw Gawa kicking around, and I couldn't hold my breath. I wanted to struggle to swim up for air, but the bottom of the lake suddenly became dark, and I
I guess those bugs were almost dead, so I pulled Gawa and swam up the lake.
There was a layer of dead ladybug corpses floating on the lake. There was no firelight, and everything was dark. I shouted to the big man: Big man, do you still have a flashlight?
The big man replied: It's all gone and there's nothing left. Let's leave in the dark this time.
Suddenly her eyes lit up, and Luo Ning emerged from the lake, wiping the water on her face with her hand. In her other hand, she held a military-style flashlight: "These are the last two I have with me. What's more?"
Fortunately, I kept it in my pocket and didn't fall into the bottom of the lake.
Everyone pulled each other and climbed to the shore. They all felt tired and hungry. They had no energy to move anymore. They hadn't eaten for more than ten hours. Let alone flesh and blood. Even if they were really made of iron, they probably wouldn't be able to hold on.
.
The big man jumped into the lake again and stabbed a fish back with a bayonet. He scraped the fish scales and cut it into several pieces. I took a bite first. The taste of the raw fish was okay, not too fishy, ​​but slightly bitter. Chew more.
It feels very fragrant after a few sips.
Only Gawa refuses to eat fish despite being told to do so. The army also has national disciplines and is not allowed to eat fish in Tibet. But when I think about it, Kunlun Mountain is at the junction of Qinghai and Tibet provinces. According to the location, we are still on the Qinghai side.
Moreover, there are more Hui people than Tibetans in Qinghai, so eating fish here is not considered a violation of discipline. In fact, even if it is a violation of discipline at this time, we can't care about it. We are already hungry and our eyes are blue, so we can only treat it specially in special circumstances.
The three of them devoured a big fish raw and felt that it was still a bit unsatisfied, so the big man swam into the lake to catch fish. Luo Ning checked the wounds on Gawa's feet. I walked around the lake to see if there were any wounds.
Where can I go out? The water in the waterfall is so big, this lake should have a place to divert it.
The drop of the waterfall is tens of meters. According to Luo Ning's estimation, the water system in front of us should be an underground tributary of the Brahmaputra River, and there may be volcanoes deep underground, so the lake water will be warm.
I took Luo Ning's crutch-shaped flashlight and found a gap in the underground lake. The lake water flowed out along this gap. This waterway was a cave seven or eight meters high. The bottom was completely submerged in water and there was no way to go.
If you want to move forward, you can only swim out of the water.
I returned to Luoning and told her what I saw. Luoning had lost both her map and compass, so I could only guess based on intuition. She had been engaged in surveying and mapping for many years and had rich experience. She estimated that our location was about
The non-freezing spring is not far away. The non-freezing spring does not freeze even in the severe winter, which means there is lava underground. The question is where to get back to the surface. Walking around underground is not an option. Now there is a feasible solution.
I can only walk along the river, because only where there is a river channel will it not be a dead end.
The big man also came back dejectedly. He didn't catch any fish this time. We didn't want to stop any longer, so three people with good water skills put Gawa in the middle and swam toward the far side of the cave in the direction of the water flow.
.
Although the surface of this underground river is not wide, the undercurrent below is very powerful. With the impact of the current, it is not difficult to half-drift and half-swim. However, this tunnel is too long and the water temperature is much higher than before.
All I could smell was the smell of sulfur. Even though I was in the water, my mouth still felt dry.
The big man was a little anxious and complained as he swam: We may have made the mistake of leftist putschism this time. How come we haven't reached the end after swimming for so long? The current here is so strong that there is no place to stand and rest. It's better to turn back and swim.
You can go back.
I criticized the big man and said: What have you done? You have swam so far before you ask how long the red flag can be flown. Do you have doubts about whether our revolution can achieve final victory? You started as soon as the long march of ten thousand miles has taken its first step.
If you are shaken, grit your teeth and hold on.
The big man quibbled: How can you say that? Don’t I want to preserve some power for the revolution? Who is responsible for the losses caused to the revolution if you act like this?
We were just halfway through talking when Luo Ning exclaimed: Look at the back to see if there is any animal that looks like a water monster.
I also heard an unusual noise in the water behind me. I turned around and used my flashlight to shine. The water was rolling behind me, and a huge black figure quickly approached from the water. The lighting range of the flashlight was not enough, so I couldn’t see clearly what it was. But the person who came here was not good.
If the good ones don't come, we all took out the military thorns and concentrated on preparing for battle. Book Alliance
