Chapter 872 The Terrifying Water Source
As soon as Fang Linyan spoke, the vulture immediately tied the safety rope, and took the lead in crawling down the deep ditch.

The edge of the ditch wall here is indeed a lot of weathered rocks, some of which look solid, but they can't bear the weight at all, and they roll down with a crash after stepping on them.

However, Vulture now belongs to the dual highs of agility and perception, which can already be said to be far superior to ordinary people. Even the world champion of Olympic-related events will be easily defeated by him, so it can be said that he reached the bottom without any surprises.

As soon as the vulture moved, Maher immediately followed. It can be seen that he really has two brushes in rock climbing, and his technique is very good.

And his behavior of "follow me" instead of "follow me" also made these rebellious guys follow up obediently.

After arriving at the bottom of the rift valley, the bottom is indeed a bit hopeless. At first glance, the stones are removed, and it is dust.

However, Maher told Fang Linyan that based on his previous experience, he could pay more attention to the traces on the nearby rock wall.

He had seen an expedition report on this planet before. The explorer said that near the water source on this planet, there would be bark-like cracks on the mountain wall next to it.

After exploring the bottom of the deep ditch for about a few hundred meters, the people around him also complained a little—of course, they were still only in the stage of slander.

However, Maher soon seemed to have discovered something, took out a lighter-sized instrument, inserted it directly into the ground, then pressed the button, and said to the people next to him:
"30-second countdown, ready for an explosion."

Morris, the player next to him, immediately said:
"YES SIR!"

Then he took out a high-explosive grenade from his waist and stuffed it under the nearby stone, and then waited for Maher to count down before preparing to pull the ring.

Soon, the grenade exploded directly, and the shock wave generated by the explosion spread along the rocks and soil towards the surroundings. The instrument that Maher took out could accurately record the feedback of the shock wave, and then accurately send the nearby Geological structures are drawn.

Soon, the instrument began to hum, and then the indicator light on it began to flash.

"Come out, come out!" A person next to him said nervously.

As the data collected by the instrument is imported into the portable optical computer, the powerful calculation program begins to play its role, and the nearby topographic map immediately appears on the screen of the optical computer. The solid line indicates the rock, and the dotted line indicates the possible cavity. .

Then a group of people immediately looked to the left side of the rock wall 30 meters away, with anticipation in their eyes, because from a geological point of view, it can be seen that this is actually a terrain similar to a funnel.

On the lower left side of the rock wall, there is an obvious hollow and depression. The people present have rich experience in wild survival, so at a glance, they know that there should be a high possibility of water source here.

Since it was targeted at this time, it was easy to find it. Soon Maher found a well-hidden crack in the mountain beside him.

The crack was originally blocked by a few stones, so it couldn't be seen from the outside, but after removing it, it was found that there was an obvious path under the crack.

After discovering this, a group of people became even more excited, because this is a very basic reasoning --- if there is no water source below, how could the animals trample out a path?

After entering the crack, I found that the first few meters were narrow, but the passage behind became wider and wider.

And the passage is spiraling downward. As you walk down, you can clearly feel the temperature drop, there is a wave of moisture on the face, and a faint smell of decay begins to come from the nose.

After walking down for more than [-] meters, the headlamp worn by Tucker shone a reflected light below, he stopped immediately, then directly turned the muzzle of the gun to the sky, replaced it with a flare and shot upwards.

Immediately, the underground space was illuminated by the rising flares, and it could be clearly seen that there was a small pond with a diameter of [-] to [-] square meters at a distance of more than ten meters below the group of people. It can be seen that if there is precipitation, the stagnant water in a radius of several kilometers will eventually converge to this place.

The pond is only about ten square meters, and the water inside is so clear that it seems that even the gravel below can be seen clearly——this is of course impossible!
In fact, the surface of the pond is covered with a strange layer of fish-eye duckweed, the color is almost withered yellow-green, and it looks even hopeless.

And on the surface of the fish-eye duckweed, there is even a layer of black mosquito-like insects hovering. When people approach, they will fly up and pounce on their faces with great hunger and thirst, like a black cloud. .

Fortunately, this adventure was supported by the money of the big benefactor, the adventure team was fully equipped, and the insecticide was sprayed directly, and a large piece of insecticide fell on the ground immediately.

These dead insect corpses quickly attracted several gecko-like creatures, more than [-] centimeters long, but with black barbs on their tails like scorpions, they were not easy to mess with.They completely ignored the existence of humans, and directly started to swallow insect corpses.

After approaching the pond, the rotten smell became stronger. The vulture in front noticed several snake-like creatures swimming by the pond, and one of them curled up and made a hissing sound.

In view of the fact that they may have the ability to spray poison, Tucker next to him decisively took out the tactical dagger at his waist and greeted them one by one. Finally, Tucker collected the corpses of these snake creatures and said that they were roasted at night. Eat, obviously this guy's taste is also slightly heavy.

In addition, there are some strange bat-like creatures hanging on the wall of the cave next to them. Their wings are at least the size of a washbasin. After seeing humans entering, they are also a little bit ready to move, sending out threatening sounds "Hissing" terrible sound.

But the people behind were obviously guarding against their movements. After two of them were killed by a shuttle bullet, the rest obediently confessed, flapped their wings and flew away. Fang Linyan turned over the corpse, and he could see that they had Mosquito/cicada-like sharp mouthparts and sharp claws.

After successfully approaching the water source, everyone remained vigilant. One of the team members found something and pulled the surface of the water to get rid of the fisheye duckweed on the surface.

Immediately, it was discovered that the water source was soaked in many rotting carcasses of small animals, including lizards and skunks. Most of these guys came to drink water and were killed by the predators entrenched here.

If Fang Linyan's guess is correct, the killers are those bats with spider mouthparts. They can inject venom into their prey to paralyze them to death, and then soak them in water to accelerate their decay. The organ pierces into the carrion, sucking the fermented juice and spoiled blood.

For scavengers, their digestive systems are used to decomposing corpses, and fresh flesh and blood will cause them indigestion instead. This is their processing kitchen.

Tucker seemed very active and cooperative at this time, obviously because Maher really found water at this time, and once he went to Dejaco to file a complaint, he would be unable to eat, so at this time, he will make up for his mistakes .

So he was the first to lean down and start taking water samples with a bucket.Uh, this water doesn't look much different from the Yellow River water.

The water of the Yellow River is a bowl of water and half a bowl of sand, and the water source here is half a bowl of larvae, parasites, humus, fish-eye duckweed, and mysterious flocs in a bowl of water.
Fang Linyan looked at this thing and felt that if it was not a last resort, he would never drink it into his stomach.

But at this time, Tucker immediately began to take off his shoes and socks, and then scrubbed the socks hastily, wet them, soaked one end in the water source of the small bucket, and the other end went around the edge of the bucket, forming a "several" The shape of the letter is placed on it.

Soon, according to the siphon effect, drops of water fell out from the suspended end of the sock, and the water droplets looked very clear.But Fang Linyan was still not interested at all, not only because he couldn't believe this simple filtering method, but also because it was the socks that Tucker had been wearing for three days!

Because it is only necessary to test the water quality, it stopped after only taking about a glass of water, and then Tucker added a little special purifier into it, and then began to use the instrument to detect the relevant index, and soon cheered: :

"OK, chromaticity <5, turbidity <3, no harmful substances were detected, it has reached the Class III standard, qualified!"

Then Tucker did something that surprised Fang Linyan, picked up the glass of water and drank it, and then said to Morris who was recording next to him:

"Remember, there is no smell."
