The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 586
I took a deep breath and said, "Old Wolf, do you mean to ignore it?"

The old wolf shook his head, looked at me without evasion, and said: "There is another situation, that is, they landed on the way, and there will be people alive, but in the water, there must be no people alive. , why don't we look for it in the woods."

I pulled my hair a little frantically: "But we didn't find any traces of people when we walked all the way." If there were traces of going ashore, I wouldn't be foolish enough to think about going into the water. It's not that I don't know this. How dangerous the water is.

The old wolf stared at me deeply, and said: "Since there is no trace of a person, can't it explain the problem?"

Yes, if there is no trace of going ashore, it means that they have been in the water all the time. The long torrent is full of dangers, and the chance of them surviving is almost zero.

On the opposite side of the current, which is where I fell before, there is a cliff with a high drop. Under the erosion of the current, the whole is sunken inward. If you land in the water urgently, it is impossible to land from there. Because it is necessary to set up ropes to land from there, which is an impossible task in the water.

The only place to land is the side where we are, but there is no one at all here.

Either they were bitten to death in the water and eaten by those strange aquatic creatures, or they were washed into the cave in front of them.Of course, it cannot be determined whether it is a living person or a dead person who rushed in.

Lao Lang's analysis is actually very rational, but I don't think I can just ignore it like this.After thinking for a while, I said to the old wolf, "You meet outside, and I'll go inside to have a look."

The old wolf frowned fiercely, and said: "You still don't give up? How did you get in? Just jumped into the water like this? Your brain is flooded!"

I said: "Of course you can't go in like this. I need your help. Let's use the fastest speed to make a raft. I will take a look inside." The old wolf stared at me for a long time, and finally said: "That's all That’s all, it’s your own choice, but I can tell you, if something happens to you inside, I won’t go in to save people.”

I said: "Of course, in our team, there must be a living person to tip the news."

Just do what you say, because time is tight, if there are still people living inside, then if we delay for one minute, they will be in more danger.Fortunately, the most indispensable thing in this place is wood, and there are all kinds of wood.We quickly chopped some wood thicker than a child's arm, and tied it with ropes to make a simple raft. The whole process took about 1 minutes.

How simple is this raft? Simply put, it is only big enough for two people to ride on it. Once it is put in, the water will flow up along the gaps in the wood. People are like sitting in the water. The only use is probably Can carry me up, don't need me to swim by myself.

We have a lifeline about [-] meters long. The old wolf tied the lifeline to the raft and said: "This depth should be about the same. After entering, we will see the situation." After a pause, he continued: "I don't want one either. People are running around in this jungle, brother, come out safely."

I know Lao Lang's words are sincere, he is willing to stay, which is a great way to give me face.To be honest, if there is no natural dullness among the missing people, I will definitely make the same choice as Lao Lang, because his analysis and choice are the most rational and safest.

The reason why I took the risk to do such a stupid thing that would send me to death this time is entirely because of selfishness. The old wolf cooperated with my selfishness.

Of course, it's useless to think about it now, just like the old wolf said, I'm afraid this dark cave will be more dangerous, maybe once I go in, I won't be able to get out.

To be on the safe side, we divided the equipment into two parts. Food, medicine, and a small amount of weapons were distributed to the old wolf. These are the necessities for survival. I carried most of the weapons and some rescue supplies.

I put on a headlamp and lay down on the raft like a frog. As soon as the old wolf loosened the tight rope, the raft was pushed into the dark cave by the fierce current.The moment I passed through the entrance of the waterfall, I was drenched by a stream of icy water, but I didn't dare to close my eyes, my nerves were tense, and I watched everything in the dark cave.

The water flow in the dark cave is chaotic, but the terrain inside tends to be flat. The water flow is under the attack of the two walls, forming many chaotic eddies. Once the raft enters, it loses its aim and cannot move forward at all. The turbulence belt circles in a small area.

With the light of the headlamp, I can see that the dark hole is very small. I can barely support my body, and I can only maintain a half-prone posture like a frog.Due to the year-round erosion of the water flow, the inner stone wall is very smooth. I lay prone in it, and the raft swirled in the water flow, pushing me around.The icy torrent passed through the simple raft, and the cold air that soaked the side of the raft that I was close to was overflowing.

"Dumb! Shuo Shu!" I yelled a few times, and the echo produced by my voice echoed endlessly in the dark cave.

I put my hands on both sides of the raft, straightened it, and started to paddle the raft. I slowly adjusted its position and drew out the turbulent flow area at the entrance of the cave. When I was more than 20 meters away, the turbulent flow stabilized. Unity flows in one direction.

But the further I went, the lower the dark hole became. I went in less than 50 meters, and the dark hole came to the bottom.

To be precise, it is not the end, but it is lower than the water level, and it is impossible to move forward at all.

My heart suddenly became completely cold, lying on the raft, I only felt my brain buzzing.After entering this dark cave, I haven't encountered any large mutated aquatic creatures, but it still makes me feel desperate at this moment.At this moment, I seem to have returned to the ten thousand year glacier of Little Fusang, remembering the entrustment of that incomparably beautiful woman, thinking of many things that have happened in the past year, and finally only this cold torrent is left in front of me .

I felt a little hot in my eye sockets, took a deep breath, wiped my face, I pulled the rope, and signaled the old wolf outside to give me a hand.

Soon the rope straightened, and began to pull my raft up the current, and I was pulling the water myself, though not very much.

During this process, my brain was in confusion. I didn't pay much attention to the surrounding environment for a while, and I didn't know what happened. I felt the raft suddenly shake, and then the already tight rope loosened again.

My first reaction was that the old wolf outside let go, but somehow, why did he let go?Is there any danger?

Before I could think too much, the raft lost its pulling force, and was pushed back quickly by the current, and quickly retreated to the end. In order not to be completely crushed, I had to stretch out a hand to touch the sloping raft behind. The stone wall formed an acute angle between the back and the stone wall.

The raft was in danger of being impacted in this situation, and the rope was not tightened again, which made me more sure of my judgment, something happened to the old wolf outside!
I immediately withdrew my hands, sat up straight, and pressed my back against the stone wall. At the same time, I took out the telescopic tube in the equipment bag and twisted it out piece by piece.

I'm not sure how deep the water is here, because there is no light, and the light from the lamp head is not bright, so you can't see the bottom at all.While twisting the steel pipe, I stretched it into the water. This telescopic tube can be twisted up to ten meters.If the water here is more than ten meters deep, it would be a little dangerous for me.

But fortunately, the telescopic tube touched the ground very quickly. Looking at the telescopic tube remaining on the water, I judged that the water depth here was about eight meters or so.

This water level is not too deep, and it is not suitable for living too large aquatic organisms, which made me breathe a sigh of relief, and then, I supported the telescopic tube and struggled upstream.It was more difficult than I had imagined to do a half-lying pontoon. I thought I could use the telescopic tube to propel it out slowly, but it was only when I actually put it into practice that I realized that it was too difficult.

The low posture made it difficult to exert one's strength, and my feet had to tighten the two halves of the raft. After ten minutes of tossing, I realized that this was an impossible task.

Looking at the rope still tied to my raft, I began to pull on it.If the old wolf let go, the rope should be brought down by the current, but although the rope was loose at the moment, it was not completely washed over.

I estimate that the old wolf should have tied it to the surrounding trees or stones.

Sure enough, as I tightened the rope, the rope gradually straightened.I made a decision to abandon the raft and go into the water.

Now I can only rely on this rope to go out by myself, but although the buoyancy of the raft is great, the impact it receives is also great, and it is not easy to control. At this time, the best choice is to abandon the raft and enter the water and swim out with the rope.
