Chapter 984 Get involved in the whirlpool, ask for diamonds, draw prizes
Even though dark clouds covered the sun in the sky, it was not pitch black all around, which meant that the sun had not yet set.
They didn't wait too long. About an hour later, the setting sun broke through the clouds and dense forest. Both of them couldn't help but feel grateful that the heavy rain was short-lived.
After this period of rest, and as the weather cleared after the rain, John's mood improved a lot. After encountering one series of tragedies, his nerve toughness improved by leaps and bounds, and his recovery speed was much faster. Of course, he was not surprised by Li Fan's change.
The realm is not even close.
Not long after, the two returned to the river. The water level was very high at this time, but it seemed calm and the current was relatively gentle. Li Fan proposed to try crossing the river again, but this time he had to swim the whole way.
John's suggestion is to build a raft, which can reduce the risk to a great extent.
Be aware that there may be a school of piranhas passing by in the river. Moreover, taking a raft not only saves energy, but also allows you to clearly see the scenery on both sides of the river when crossing the river. If someone is really hiding in the dark and causing mischief, they can grasp more details.
Li Fan agreed to this idea. He was already a little tired at this time. The energy consumed in building a raft was more cost-effective than swimming back and forth for n times.
Seeing the sun gradually setting in the west, the raft was also completed at this time. The two of them had not lowered their guard during this period, but neither the cannibals nor the black creatures appeared. The biggest danger was just a few passing snakes.
The raft was lowered into the water and it didn't sink. The two of them sat on it with oars, but it still didn't sink, so there was no problem.
John paddled through the waterway: "It's getting dark soon. If we really can't make it through, we can consider taking the waterway and go down the river away from here."
Li Fan waved the oar on the other side and remained silent. He looked back at the river bank that was gradually receding, but the ominous premonition in his heart did not weaken at all.
…
at the same time.
The plane roared to land, and Shao Shuai walked out of the plane expressionlessly.
This is a fully enclosed, well-defended secret base built directly at the foot of the mountain.
When Shao Shuai got off the plane, he saw Gu Yitian walking towards him.
On the side of the airport, there was a car waiting for them.
"Get in the car! It's a long way from here to the entrance."
Shao Shuai glanced at Gu Yitian, got into the car, started the car, and quickly drove into a downward entrance and drove quickly along a wide and flat underground passage.
There are light strips on both sides of the underground passage, so it looks brighter, has good ventilation, and doesn't feel stuffy.
Shao Shuai could keenly feel that the road had a slight slope and was traveling slightly downward, which meant that they had been driving deeper underground.
The car ran for more than ten minutes and stopped on a platform. After Shao Shuai got out of the car, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.
The space here is extremely wide, with a height of more than ten meters, including the ceiling and the floor. Five sides are covered with silver metal, forming a flat metal wall. Only at the end is a high mountain stone wall, on which are inlaid two three-meter-high doors.
The tall metal door has a radiation hazard symbol on it.
There are many staff working in this spacious hall. There are two heavily armed soldiers guarding the door with guns. I don't know what they are doing. The two thick metal doors slowly open to both sides.
"To build such a huge fortification in such a short time...it's really impressive..." Shao Shuai praised.
"This is the power of the country." Gu Yitian stepped forward and said in a calm tone: "Shao Shuai, you are just as talented as Li Fan. It is a pity to let him go like this."
Shao Shuai glanced at Gu Yitian and chuckled: "Stop testing me. I will choose to come to you this time just for Li Fan. If you have anything to say, let's wait until he comes out."
"Hmph, whatever you want! Let's go!" Gu Yitian waved his hand and walked inside immediately.
"Li Fan, hold on." Shao Shuai muttered silently in his heart and followed Gu Yitian in...
…
Li Fan's ominous premonition soon became reality. When he and John's raft reached the middle of the river, the water flow suddenly accelerated, and the simple wooden oars in their hands immediately lost their meaning.
They immediately gave up the struggle and allowed the raft to speed down the river. John looked at the sun gradually sinking into the horizon behind him and said helplessly: "This feeling of resignation is really bad."
Li Fan said: "Obviously, there is an unknown force that doesn't want us to leave this rainforest."
"That power can even control rivers?" John looked in disbelief.
Li Fan replied: "Who knows... maybe the heavy rain is not a coincidence."
John looked at the sky: "Do you believe in the existence of gods?"
Li Fan smiled and said: "If you believe it, please tell the god you believe in and ask him to take it easy and stop in moderation."
He could only smile bitterly at this moment, because he had seen that the river in front of him was getting wider and wider, and further ahead, in the not-so-deep river, there was a whirlpool.
John naturally saw this scene, and he picked up the oar again, "Quick, Gutian, we have to get this raft moving, even if it moves a few meters more toward the shore."
Li Fan was indifferent: "Forget it, under this speed of water, moving a few more meters will have no effect at all. The centripetal force of the vortex will still drag us in."
John shouted: "Then jump into the river? This distance should be enough."
Li Fan replied: "In my opinion, there is no difference. In such a fast rapids, swimming and rowing have the same result." He suddenly changed the topic: "Don't you think that at this time, here, there happens to be a whirlpool that makes us lose control?
Is there some coincidence in the way the raft must pass?"
John snorted coldly: "Anyway, I've been having bad luck this week."
Seeing that the raft was getting closer and closer to the spiral current, the huge momentum overturned the raft, and a spreading wave of water passed by, and the scope of the whirlpool actually became even larger.
On the vast water surface, both Li Fan and John had disappeared.
"Sneeze!" John sneezed, as loud as if he was going to blow out his lungs.
Li Fan was woken up by the sound of sneezing. He shook his head to drive the dream scene out of his head, then sat up and observed the surrounding environment. When his vision gradually became clearer, he was surprised.
He and John were in a quadrangular room. The surrounding walls were all made of stone, showing a green-black color. The walls were covered with dense and mysterious murals and texts.
"Where is this?" Li Fan asked.
John was standing next to a wall at this time, staring at the words on it: "I don't know, I didn't wake up long."
He paused, as if he was about to finish reading the text in front of him: "This seems to be the writing of an ancient civilization. These ghostly symbols have a Stone Age style."
