The cold underground water poured into the stone chamber like a beast, filling the entire stone chamber in an instant.
I held on to the tin door to barely stabilize my body, and shouted to Hua Muling and Xiong Ming on the side: "Dali Xiong...Four girls...there is a way out here...swim this way quickly! Swim there!" The corpse is very powerful on the shore, but it will probably be unable to survive in the water!"
The words "a way out" were like a shot in the arm at this moment, giving Hua Muling and Xiong Ming instant motivation.
The two of them swam towards me with all their strength, and I took a deep breath and dived into the water.
There were a lot of impurities at the bottom of the water. I took out the flashlight from my waist and pressed the switch.
After the old-fashioned military flashlight flashed twice under the water, it still lit up, illuminating a beam of light in an instant.
I briefly determined the direction, and just as I was about to swim behind the tin door, a black shadow suddenly rushed in front of me.
I was shocked to find that the black shadow turned out to be the damn wandering corpse.
The corpse couldn't hear the sound in the water and it was obviously attracted by the light beam in my hand.
The wandering corpse came face to face with me, and without saying a word, he came up with a claw.
Although this guy was extremely fast, the resistance of the water was still offset by most of it.
I turned my head slightly to avoid the blow from the zombie, but the next second, the zombie opened its mouth and bit the flashlight in my hand.
The posture was like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, and its mouth full of jet-black fangs made me tremble with fear.
I didn't want to fight for a long time, so I waved my hand and threw the flashlight far away.
Sure enough, the wandering corpse seemed to be going crazy and rushed towards the direction of the flashlight.
And I took advantage of this moment to swim straight behind the tin door.
But what I didn't expect at all was that compared with the previous four doors, the scene behind the tin door could be described as dilapidated.
The original appearance of the house can no longer be seen, but there is a large hole two meters high and half a meter wide directly opposite me. It seems that the cold underground water is probably poured in from here.
After confirming the location, I wanted to sneak back to find Hua Muling and Xiong Ming.
But at this moment, a light green light suddenly flashed in the southeast corner of the room.
The green light was very faint, but it was particularly dazzling at this moment.
After hesitating for a moment, I decided to change my plan and swam toward the green light.
I wasn't too far away from where the green light was, and I swam to it in just a few seconds.
I struggled to remove the bricks blocking it, and found that the green light was actually coming from a palm-sized bronze vessel.
The shape of the bronze vessel is extremely unique, with an irregular rhombus shape as a whole. At first glance, it looks like half an hourglass.
In addition, its body was engraved with strange and strange words, which vaguely seemed to be very similar to some of the words in the mysterious ancient temple.
In addition to these, there is a dragon lying on one side of it, and the green light is emitted from this dragon.
I struggled to reach into the rubble and pulled out the bronze vessel hidden in it.
But before I could hold it steady, someone tapped me on the shoulder from behind.
I was shocked and turned around quickly.
But when I turned around, I realized that the person photographing me was actually Hua Muling, and Xiong Ming was following behind him.
I drew a question mark in the water with my hand, meaning to ask: "Why are you two running here?"
Hua Muling did not answer my words, but pointed behind her with a horrified look, and then pointed at the dark hole in the wall in front of her, which obviously meant: "There is danger, run!"
I understood and knew that it was probably the damn wandering zombie that was chasing me.
So, I nodded, turned around and swam towards the dark entrance of the cave without saying a word.
The three of us swam forward, and the oxygen in our lungs was exhausted little by little. Every time we moved our arms or legs, it seemed that the oxygen in our bodies was taken away.
Time passed by, and just when I could hardly hold on anymore, a bright moon suddenly appeared above my head.
God, that's God!
When I saw the sky, I immediately became energetic and used all my strength to swim up the river.
After a short time, I put my head out of the water.
Maybe I haven't breathed air for too long. At this time, I was like the greediest drunkard who has encountered the most delicious wine. I breathed in the air outside for a while. It took me a while to calm down from the depressing feeling in my heart. Energetic.
As soon as I recovered a little, Xiong Ming and Hua Muling also emerged from the water on the other side.
Naturally, the two of them were just like me. Apart from panting heavily, they were too lazy to talk.
The three of us paddled hard and used the last bit of strength in our bodies to climb onto the shore.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the surrounding temperature began to drop a little bit. The three of us helped each other and found a place to sit behind a relatively leeward stone, shivering from the cold.
I took off my coat, wrung out the moisture on it, and put it on Hua Muling's body.
Hua Muling turned to look at me and wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back.
I knew there was a reason why she didn't say anything, so I didn't ask further.
A few of us were sitting against the rocks. Xiong Ming took out the waterproof bag from his pocket and wanted to take out the cigarettes hidden inside.
But when he was fighting for his life with the wandering corpse just now, his clothes got a few big cuts. If he hadn't been blocked by the waterproof bag in his pocket, the corpse poison would have erupted and he would have met the Lord of Hell.
Looking at the bag filled with water and the softened cigarettes inside, Xiong Ming smiled helplessly before throwing them aside.
Xiong Ming sighed and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the roar of an engine not far away.
"It's...a car!"
After hearing this sound, the three of us were all shaken up. We helped each other stand up and walked around from behind the big rock.
The person who came was a local fruit farmer in his fifties. He was pulling half a cart of apples on the back of a not-so-big tricycle.
I don’t know what kind of apple it is, but it is red and full of fruity fragrance.
I sniffed it hard twice, and the glutton in my stomach began to churn desperately.
I looked at the apples on the fruit farmer's cart and couldn't help but swallow. As a result, I was instantly verbally attacked by the fruit farmer.
He spoke in local dialect, and the three of us couldn't understand what he said.
In fact, I can't blame them, after all, the three of us looking in such a mess at this moment really don't look like good people.
Seeing the fruit farmer uncle with a wary look on his face, Hua Muling smiled slightly, then took out an ID from his pocket and handed it to the fruit farmer uncle.
Fortunately, Hua Muling had been careful before and took out the identification of the exploration team member from Liu Chen's body, which happened to come in handy at this time.
Later, he explained to others with gestures and words, "The three of us are members of the geological exploration team. We went to the ground to survey with the team, but we encountered a landslide and got separated from the rest of the group. We had no choice but to do this." He just emerged from the underground waterway."
The fruit farmer obviously didn't understand what Hua Muling was talking about, but when he saw the bright red national emblem on the witness document, the fierce expression on his face was relieved a little.
The fruit farmer uncle thought for a while, handed the ID back to Hua Muling, then pointed to the car behind him and said something.
The three of us listened for a long time with our eyes wide open, not knowing what he meant.
Seeing that we didn't understand, the fruit farmer uncle got a little anxious, stretched out his hand to pull my sleeve, and then pushed me hard with his hand.
Only then did I realize that he was asking the three of us to get in the car.
After the three of us thanked each other profusely, we each climbed onto the trailer behind the tricycle. The fruit farmer thoughtfully threw a felt blanket over us to cover ourselves.
The felt blanket was very thick and warm. Not long after I wrapped it around me, I felt sleepy.
After a while, I fell asleep.
I don’t know how long it took, but I was slowly pushed awake.
I opened my eyes and found that the person calling me was Hua Muling.
I asked: "Fourth girl, what's wrong?"
Hua Muling looked at her shoulder, then at the drool dripping from my mouth, and said, "We've arrived."
I wiped my mouth in embarrassment and said, "What is this place?"
Hua Muling shook her head and said, "I don't know. But it should be the village where the uncle lives."
While we were talking, a group of us had already entered the village.
The village is not very developed, with only a dozen simple households. The fruit farmer uncle first told us to take it back to his home, and then went out to find a young man named Gawang.
Gawang is the nephew of the fruit farmer uncle and one of the few young people in the village who understands Chinese.
After a simple communication, we learned that this village is called Ge Riwang and is located at the junction of Tibetan and Qinghai.
There are not many people in the village, but they are very enthusiastic. Knowing that we are guests from the capital, the village chief even lent us his only phone at home to communicate with the outside world, and also served three large bowls of food. Phew noodles.
The three of us were not polite. After I contacted Yiyuanzhai, I ate three large bowls of noodles before getting into bed and having a comfortable sleep.
I am really tired. I have been wandering around the gate of hell over and over these days. Both my body and my mind have reached a limit.
So, when my head touched the pillow, I slept until sunset, then slowly woke up.
After I got up, I simply ate a few pieces of tsampa and drank two bowls of butter tea. The people and cars from Yiyuanzhai arrived at Geriwang Village.
The people who came were from the Northwest Shantang of Yiyuanzhai Mountain, and there were three cars in total.
Although the car is not a luxury car, it is definitely enough for me now.
After I asked the young man in charge for some cash, I turned around and gave it to the fruit farmer uncle and Gawang.
They refused to accept it, but they couldn't overcome my persistence, and in the end they could only reluctantly put it into their arms.
After saying a simple goodbye to them, the three of us jumped into the car and sped away eastward.
