The stomach and intestines seemed to be constantly contracting, producing violent spasms due to the inability to obtain food.
"Uh...ah..."
Unable to move.
Still unable to move.
In a dark world, I can only move and feel these intense pains.
Tick-tock——
Another drop of viscous liquid fell on Gao Hai's head.
This was the only voice he could hear here, other than his own.
But Gao Hai, who was now in intense pain, could no longer pay attention to these sounds.
Day 10, day 12, day 15…
Gao Hai, who was unconscious, had no way of judging how long he had been here.
His thinking began to slow down gradually, and he gradually began to be unable to think normally as usual.
Time and time again, he continued to try to escape from the current predicament, attempted suicide, and tried to escape from this never-ending darkness.
But nothing has changed.
He is still trapped here, still imprisoned in this darkness.
"Well……"
Tick-tock——
The sound of dripping water mixed with the sound of labored breathing.
What else can... be done...
Gao Hai, who was becoming more and more confused and confused, struggled to raise his head and looked above himself.
Look at the still, silent body.
He didn't know what the purpose of this was, but now that he had less and less waking time, Gao Hai had no other choice but to try everything he could.
Reach out.
He grabbed the face of the thing above him, and then grabbed the thing's hair.
After taking a deep breath, he tried hard to drag the other body down. In the end, he actually dragged it a short distance, but it was only a few centimeters away. Then the body could no longer move. Like Gao Hai, he was stuck.
He touched the other's hand.
It looked like it was extending forward, but the hand that was stuck on the other side of the rock wall probably moved because of his dragging.
With random touches, Gao Hai touched something on the other person's hand and pulled it off with a little force.
It seems like... a ring.
Something seemed to emerge in Gao Hai's mind in his dazed consciousness.
Andres.
Yes, the man’s name is Andres.
He is a young and cheerful young man who has just got married. His wife Hedar has just found out that she is pregnant. After the family celebrated happily, Andres thought of the famous attraction Red Nut Gray Cave.
Andres is an amateur explorer who has obtained an exploration certificate. In addition, the Red Nut Gray Cave is a low-difficulty cave suitable for novices. The internal situation has been explored, so there is nothing to worry about.
Of course, it was definitely impossible for his pregnant wife Hedar to go in and explore with him, so Andres found two friends, and the three of them took care of each other and entered the Red Nut Ash Cave. After submitting the expedition certificate, the staff After confirming their adventure equipment and reminding them of precautions, the three people passed through the large slide and began to move deeper into the cave.
Go down to the bottom from the unique pulley elevator on the edge of the big cliff.
The next thing to face is the most narrow and blocked [blood vessel] area of the red nut gray hole.
This is a narrow cave with an average height and width of less than 45 centimeters. The explorers can only crawl through this long narrow passage. For professional explorers, this is nothing, but for amateurs, there is no doubt that it is a big challenge, and once successful, it will be a great sense of accomplishment.
However, the only problem is that there is a fork in the [blood vessel], and that fork leads to a place called a dead end. Explorers will first pass through a relatively open area before reaching there, and then the road will become very narrow and enter an area that is almost vertical downward. It's so narrow that even children can't go any further, so it's an absolute dead end and you can't go wrong.
Andres doesn't see that as a problem.
Although the area where [Dead End] is located is deep in the cave, there are still explorers who have reached there and left warning signs. Even if you climb the wrong way, you can know this through the warning signs, and you can just turn around.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, he and his two friends entered the Red Nut Ash Cave, and then at nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the entrance of [Vessel].
Legend has it that the Red Nut Gray Cave is the body of a god in Indian belief. New members of the tribe who have just come of age need to pass through the [blood vessels], enter the [arteries], and finally reach the [heart] to complete their adulthood. Prove that you are a warrior of the tribe. At this moment, what Andres and his team want to do when they go deep into the cave is to reach the [Heart] and become "warriors". This is the goal they have agreed upon along the way.
The initial operation went smoothly.
Although the environment inside [Vessel] was dark and cramped, after training, Andres and his two friends were able to move forward smoothly for a considerable distance.
And this smoothness lasted until they encountered a fork in the road and needed to decide which way to go.
Andres chose the wrong path here.
He didn't see the identifying traces left by previous explorers, and chose the [dead end] based on the memory of looking at the map before.
Then, when he and his two companions reached the slightly larger area in the [Dead End], Andres thought this was the [Return Point], which was the area where the cowards who dared not to move forward were forced to turn back in the Indian legend promoted by the park, and began to explore the front with more excitement.
The warning sign that was supposed to be there was not discovered by anyone.
Therefore, Andres entered the narrow area deep in the [Dead End].
The further he went, the narrower it became.
In the dark passage where there was no way to turn around, Andres accelerated forward in one go.
Then, he encountered a vertical downward path.
It was too late when he realized something was wrong.
Because Andres was moving too fast, he slid down the cave and got stuck headfirst in the cave, unable to move.
The two friends following him heard his struggle and cries for help, and tried to save him. Then, it was extremely difficult to pull up a person who was falling vertically in an extremely narrow and curved cave. The two friends tried their best but still couldn't pull up Andres.
Then, realizing that the situation was not good, one of them returned to seek help, and the other stayed to accompany Andres to prevent him from being left alone in the dark cave and having any accidents.
At this moment, the time was just around 4:30 in the afternoon.
Chapter 53: The obsession of grief and despair buried underground
(This chapter, as a plot revelation chapter, involves a lot of the prototype plot of the second volume. Readers who are more familiar with the prototype of this volume can choose to watch it or not)
[Andres... Andres...]
[Don't worry... I'm here... We will definitely save you...]
[Don't worry... You will definitely leave here safely...]
Those voices rang in Gao Hai's ears and then disappeared.
In the narrow cave where he couldn't move, the anxious voice of that person could be heard from time to time.
He is Andres' friend. When faced with such a dangerous situation, he naturally tried his best to comfort Andres. But in this dark and gloomy environment, this friend's mood was obviously not good, and his voice unconsciously trembled.
[It's okay]
Gao Hai heard Andres' voice.
[It's okay, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine, I've been trained, this kind of handstand is no problem for me]
Although he was stuck in the cave, Andres was still comforting his friend.
Just like him, Andres has always been a cheerful and kind person. He knows very well the psychological pressure people bear when they are in such a dark and narrow environment, so he has been talking to his friends to make them feel at ease.
But in fact, his condition is not as good as he said. Long-term handstand leads to poor blood circulation. At this moment, Andres feels that his head is expanding and very uncomfortable, and if this handstand continues, it will undoubtedly endanger his life. Although the current discomfort can be barely resisted with willpower, if it continues, Andres's condition will only get worse.
At the same time, the friend who set out to ask for help has already run up from the roller elevator of the big slide. He exhausted his energy and desperately asked for help from the staff, the tour guides and tourists, and everyone he could see, telling them that someone was trapped in the [blood vessels] and asking for everyone's rescue.
The staff immediately evacuated the scene and called for help. The scenic area was temporarily closed, and then, at around seven o'clock in the afternoon, the first rescuer arrived at Andres' side.
This is an explorer and a volunteer who often goes to various fire stations to give speeches and participate in discussions.
Her name is Susan. Gao Hai has heard this person's voice, so he immediately recognized her.
[Hello, Mr. Andres, my name is Susan, how do you feel now? ]
In this afterimage of the past, Susan's voice sounded very calm, just like the Susan that Gao Hai saw in the game copy, she didn't seem to have changed much.
[Hello, Miss Susan, thank you for coming, please help me get out of here...]
Andres, who was stuck headfirst in the cave, answered, trying to make his tone seem relaxed.
In the cave, Susan and the friend who stayed with Andres began to rescue him. She tried to cut open Andres' jeans and tie a safety rope to his feet. Then she and the friend worked together to pull Andres up, but they failed in the end and could not save Andres.
When the time reached nine o'clock in the evening, Susan still failed to rescue Andres, and instead made herself very tired.
After the current state could no longer support the rescue operation, Susan had to leave the cave.
At this time, a large number of rescue workers had gathered outside the cave, and more professionals were discussing rescue plans. Some suggested applying oil on the rock wall, some suggested using explosives to blow up the cave directly, and some tried to bring some small chisels and drills into Andres's location to try to create enough space. However, these plans were either unrealistic, or were not implemented because they were too dangerous, or had no effect at all and ultimately ended in failure.
Gao Hai heard Andres crying.
It was already past twelve o'clock in the morning, and Andres spent a full ten hours stuck headfirst in the cave.
He cried softly and gently rubbed his wedding ring with his fingers.
His wife Hedar has arrived outside the cave, anxiously waiting for her husband's return.
After many failures, the rescuers came up with a new method, which was to build a pulley block in the cave and tie the rope to Andres' legs to pull him out of the cave bit by bit.
Can it succeed?
Many people have doubts about this plan in their hearts, but this is the best way at the moment.
The rescuers who accompanied Andres continued to comfort him.
【do not give up】
Gao Hai could hear the voice of a young man.
[Don’t give up, Andres, we will get you out, hold on, your wife is waiting for you outside, you have to come back alive, you know? You must go back alive]
The man patted Andres' legs gently and spoke to him seriously.
A buzzing sound gradually sounded in the cave.
It was small drilling equipment preparing to build the pulley.
Welbo and the rescuers were talking about how to better build the pulley, with a worried expression on his face. Pei Di, who was woken up in the middle of the night, yawned and walked around impatiently. He felt quite helpless and irritated that this incident happened in the scenic spot, and subconsciously began to calculate the lost turnover. Something like that.
When the time came to 4 a.m., the equipment was finally set up, and people began to pull Andres up, using the ropes tied to his legs, to lift Andres out of the hole bit by bit.
Hope seems to have emerged.
But soon, the curved cave got stuck in Andres' leg. Andres screamed in severe pain. He had been stuck head-down in the cave for fourteen hours. His legs had no strength to bend due to lack of blood, but the nerves could still transmit intense pain. feel.
[Maybe we should just chop off his legs, it doesn’t matter if we just tear them off]
Someone spoke in the darkness.
[No, Mr. Andres is already very weak. If he breaks his leg again in this state, there is a high probability that he will go into shock and coma, and he will probably die.]
Another voice immediately retorted.
【What should we do? There is no way to continue like this. He has been hanging there upside down for more than ten hours]
Someone said anxiously, and his mood was obviously a little irritable.
[Rebuild the pulley and let’s try again]
The last person made a final decision, and the rescue team started taking action again.
Andres' condition is still getting worse.
Standing on his head for more than ten hours made his consciousness gradually blur, and pain swept through his body. In this inescapable darkness, his spirit collapsed bit by bit.
[Hey, hello, I’m Howard Smith, you can just call me Howard]
Then, another voice sounded from behind.
【Hello……】
Andres's voice had become a little weak.
[We are already preparing a new rescue plan. How are you now? Are you okay? 】
