Chapter 143 END
Xiao Su was lying on the wet and cold deck, and the surrounding fog was gathering, as if in an instant, the milk-like thick fog covered the entire lake.
The wet dusty smell dilutes the smell of blood, Xiao Suyuan was exhausted, but at this moment he suddenly regained some strength, so he got up by force, and moved Fang Huize's right leg that was pressing on him.
Something hit the ground with a heavy muffled sound. Xiao Su touched it. It was a gun, the small pistol that Fang Huize originally planned to kill him.
With lingering fears in his heart, Xiao Su realized that if the bullet was delayed by one second, or half a second, it would not be Fang Huize who was lying in the pool of blood at this moment, but himself...
He looked towards the direction where the bullet was coming from, which was the east, the direction where ELYsion was.
Does this mean that Rong Rui and the others have successfully broken through Buschna's line of defense and discovered Fang Huize's escape route?
Xiao Su couldn't believe it, his luck was so good this time, God had been embarrassing him for 27 years, and today he was suddenly merciful.
The dense fog completely covered the sight, the wind stopped, the air seemed to be stagnant, and water could be squeezed out with a handful of water. Xiao Su leaned on the guardrail and waited for the sniper who fired - although he didn't know much about firearms, he could still see them. The shot just now was a long-range sniper.
Yes, during the trip to East Africa, they used the real killer—Rong Sihuan and his ace special forces.
Except for the first team and the second team, their operation has achieved cross-border linkage through the franchise of the deputy director Sang Guoting.Xiao Su's level is limited, so it is not clear what "boundary" this linkage has crossed, but he knows that one of the troops is from the military.
Because Rong Rui told him in private before departure that Rong Sihuan applied to lead the team in person and secretly cooperate with the Criminal Investigation Bureau's transnational operations.
"He told me himself this morning that he will go to East Africa via another route, and he will be on standby in Sangwaga directly to carry out the undercover task." They packed their luggage in the room that night, and Rong Rui squatted in front of the glass tank to feed the king lizard. It's rare for Cai Ye not to be impatient, and she is especially gentle and patient, "With him here, this operation will be safe, brother, don't worry."
Xiao Su had nothing to worry about, he was just surprised: "A secret mission? What kind of secret mission?"
"I don't know the specifics. The content of the military's operations is confidential." Rong Rui replied, "Actually, he told me that this incident was against the regulations, and I was also very surprised. He has never made such a mistake in so many years. In the past, even my grandfather didn’t dare to ask him about his assignments.”
"Ah? Then why..."
"For you." Rong Rui turned his head, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "He just wants to tell you that he is protecting you and reassuring you. He has a special status and cannot tell you directly, so he can only tell you through me. This is at most confidential If it is not in place, it is not a principled error.”
At that time, Xiao Su's heart was very warm, Rong Sihuan was able to think of him to such an extent, he really regarded him as a relative, as a half son.
Xiao Su leaned against the guardrail, smiled slightly, and his mind was full of Rong Rui's triumphant appearance at that moment.In fact, no matter what kind of estrangement there is between him and his father, Rong Rui has always trusted Rong Sihuan unconditionally in his subconscious mind, and regards him as his most stable backer.
Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps on the shore, Xiao Su's heart skipped a beat, and he listened intently. The footsteps came from far to near, and he quickly jumped onto the deck from the gravel pier.
A tall figure of a man slowly emerged in the mist, Xiao Su almost called out Rong Rui's name, but when he saw the man's appearance clearly, he was stunned, and the blood fell to the soles of his feet all of a sudden——
Yeager, wearing a camouflage outdoor suit and a baseball cap, walked over cautiously with a gun in both hands.He saw Fang Huize in a pool of blood, his figure suddenly froze, as if he had seen a ghost, and cursed in a low voice: "FUC..."
Xiao Su never expected that it was him who was waiting, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he tightly held the gun he picked up from Fang Huize.
"You killed him?" Yeager looked at Xiao Su in disbelief, and then at the gun in his hand, "God...how did you...he died?!"
"Don't come here!" Xiao Su realized that he still had a picture book on him. Although he didn't know how to shoot at all, he pointed the gun at him at the first time, and guessed why he appeared—it must be because he shot it just now. That signal flare!
Last night, Yeager panicked and fled overnight, but he couldn't let go of the original creature that he had been pondering for 12 years. After recovering, he immediately regretted it, so he sneaked back to ELYsion, looking for a chance to get back the picture book.
But at that time, Fang Huize had already taken him away. Yeager couldn't find them, but he knew the secret underground passage, so he followed the secret passage to find the place where the off-road vehicle was hiding.
Based on what he knew about Fang Huize, he would have guessed that they would go west, so he chased to Jinghu Lake, and then, seeing the signal flare, he found it on the boat just in case.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Su pushed everything out, and at the same time his heart sank to the bottom—without Fang Huize, Yeager would no longer have to be afraid of him, and would definitely try to get him to tell the secret of the picture book and find the route to the primitive creature .
With his current physical strength, he is definitely not Yeager's opponent, and the fog on the lake is so thick that the sniper has no conditions to fire a second shot.
Now, his only way is to drag, drag until the sniper finds here.
Rong Rui once said that Rong Sihuan's ultimate sniper distance is 2950 meters, and no one has broken the record so far, so the sniper who saved him was only 2950 meters away.According to the speed of Rongrui, it takes at most 2950 minutes to cross-country 15 meters.
It has been about 5 minutes since Fang Huize was shot dead, so as long as you delay it for at most 10 minutes, you will be saved... Xiao Su's thoughts turned, and the gun in his hand kept pointing steadily at Yeager: "If you dare to take a step closer, I will shoot you!" gun!"
Yeager was stopped, and stopped on the other side of the deck, looking around with bloodshot eyes, making sure that he was the only one here, and his expression gradually relaxed: "Don't be nervous, Xiao, I won't hurt you, I can Help you... he is dead and I will still be there, as long as you tell me where the primitive organisms are, I will soon be able to develop a medicine to curb your illness."
Xiao Su didn't believe him a word, in order to delay time, he pretended to be skeptical: "Don't come here, I don't believe it...you have no ability to save me, at most you can make me a living dead like Ngufu..."
"No no, you trust me, I can do it." Yeager raised one hand in a gesture of comforting him, and said, "You should be very clear about my progress, you have read all my reports...you Didn’t I also say that? With my current research ideas, as long as I get the original sample, I can make a breakthrough within a few weeks.”
"I just said that to comfort you, and the purpose is to let you give me the picture book." Xiao Su said, "You really believe it! Do you think you are a genius? One person can come up with a big project."
Yeager's face turned red all of a sudden: "No! You are talking nonsense! I can do it, I have already mastered the research ideas..." Suddenly, he realized something, and his expression suddenly became ferocious: "You are kidding me! You are wasting time!"
Xiao Su screamed that it was not good, Yeager excitedly pointed his gun at him, and growled in a low voice: "You know there must be other people who saw the flare, so wait for them to rescue you! I should have expected it, you This wolf in sheep's clothing, you even killed Fang Huize, you are more ruthless than anyone else!"
Before he finished speaking, he raised the suitcase at the door of the cabin and smashed it over with lightning speed.Xiao Su couldn't dodge in time, he pulled the trigger carelessly in desperation, but was hit by the suitcase, his hand tilted, and the bullet grazed the opposite railing and flew out.
At the moment of the gunshot, Yeager yelled, covered his head and fell to the ground. When he found that he was knocked crooked, he was overjoyed immediately, got up and rushed towards him!
The gun in Xiao Su's hand was kicked away, Yeager pressed him firmly, and shouted, "Don't move! Where's the picture book? Where's my picture book?"
Xiao Su panted, "That, that's not... your picture book!"
"It's mine, it's mine!" Jaeger yelled nervously, ripping off his coat and groping frantically on him.Xiao Su struggled weakly twice, was punched by him, and almost passed out.
"Aha! I found it!" Yeager finally found the picture book wrapped in a waterproof membrane, jumped up ecstatically, kissed it twice, and laughed.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Xiao Su slowly crawled towards the pistol. Unfortunately, he was discovered just as he reached the handle of the gun. Yeager screamed and kicked the gun into the lake.
"What do you want to do, huh?" Yeager stuffed the picture book into his clothes and dragged Xiao Su up from the ground, "You still want to kill me? You don't want to see what you look like!"
His eyes were bloodshot, and he pressed the muzzle of the gun against Xiao Su's temple: "It's as easy for me to kill you now as to crush an ant!"
"Fire, shoot!" At this point, Xiao Su had no choice but to gamble that in order to decipher the cipher text, he would not be willing to shoot himself to death for the time being.
Sure enough, Yeager showed his vicious appearance. He touched the trigger with his index finger several times, but he never pressed it down. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's make a deal. You tell me the ciphertext, and I will let you go today."
Xiao Su sneered: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Just shoot! Anyway, you still have a long life, and you will have plenty of time to read comics in the rest of your life!"
Yeager gritted his teeth, and finally became cruel, and said, "Didn't you always want to know the cause of death of the owner of the picture book? How about this deal?"
Xiao Su was silent, and now it has become a deadlock. Yeager has limited patience and will not let him delay for long. If he is in a hurry, he will just shoot him to death. At worst, he will escape with the picture book, and he can study slowly in the future.
But in that case, Zheng Fei's death will become an eternal mystery. No one knows that she was framed by her peers, no one knows that she made such a great discovery during her lifetime, and Rong Rui will never have the chance to get the last picture book , without even knowing it exists.
There is nothing to hesitate. Only by surviving can there be a chance of survival... Xiao Su's heart broke, and he said, "Okay, I promise you."
Yeager breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured, "Thank God!"
"Go, get the wheelchair." Xiao Su pointed to a corner of the opposite deck.Yeager snatched it away and went to get the wheelchair. Xiao Su took out the white paper on which the map of the maze was traced from his shirt breast pocket, pressed a bloody handprint with his thumb, and pressed it under Fang Huize's body.
"We have to get out of here immediately." Under the cover of dense fog, Yeager didn't notice his small movements at all, picked him up and placed him on the wheelchair, "Maybe Busina's people also saw the signal flare, wait for her to find it We're dead."
In the humid fog, Xiao Su was put into a pickup truck by Yeager. When he got into the car, he noticed that there were several sample boxes in the back of the car, as well as tents, cooking utensils, etc. needed for survival in the wild, and even Equipment for diving and mountaineering.
With so many things, it must not be possible to get ready all at once last night. It seems that Yeager has learned a hand from Fang Huize, and he has prepared a lot of running tools for himself.
"Go north." Xiao Su pointed to the direction of the tail of Whale Lake, "Go to the Sea of Origin."
Yeager looked at him in surprise: "The Sea of Origin? Where are the primitive creatures? You have already..."
"Let's go." Xiao Su said, "I've already studied picture books."
Yeager's light brown eyes sparkled with surprise and surprise, he immediately started the engine, and drove Xiao Su to the Sea of Origin.
The wind was blowing in the forest, and the fog on the lake was slowly dissipating. The pickup truck was heading north, with the Whale Lake appearing and disappearing on the left, and the endless jungle on the right.The sky is brightening, and a large white belly is exposed in the east, but there is no sun, and it is gloomy.
Xiao Su felt that fate was very ironic. A few minutes ago he was still thanking the heavens, but a few minutes later he fell into desperation again.
Maybe it's because the horoscope is not good. He has never had any luck in his life.
Reincarnate in the next life, let's become a green iguana, he thought a little divergently, it would be better to meet such a willing owner as a dog licker like him, eat and drink every day without giving him a good face.
"We're coming." Yeager's voice interrupted his reverie, and Xiao Su woke up with a start, and found that they had almost arrived at the Sea of Origin, and the car was crawling on the high rocky shore north of Whale Lake.
It is called "sea" here, but in fact there is no water, but an ocean formed by rocks. It was here that Rong Sihuan discovered Zheng Fei's distress signal.Xiao Su felt that there seemed to be some destiny in the dark, and finally he also came here.
"Front, stop for a moment." Xiao Su carefully identified and found the landmark shown on the map - a depression surrounded by several boulders.
Yeager stopped the car and pushed him over. In the center of the depression was a huge crack ten meters long and three meters wide, like a giant's big mouth. The inside was unfathomable and pitch black.
"It's just below." Xiao Su pointed to the crack in the stone and said, "Climb down about 20 meters with the vertical rope, and a horizontal passage will appear on the west side. Walk along the passage obliquely downward for a while, and then start cave diving..."
He looked up at Yeager: "I see you brought cave diving tools?"
Yeager stood by the crevice of the stone and threw a fist-sized stone down. The stone bumped against the uneven rock several times and fell into the water with a "plop".
"Did you draw the map based on the picture book?" He asked Xiao Su, "Give me the map, I want to know if you are lying to me."
"There is no ready-made map." Xiao Su pointed to his head, "It's all here, I'm not that stupid, I drew such an important thing and waited for you to search."
Yeager's face grew hostile: "Are you fucking kidding me?"
"A good deal." Xiao Su remained unmoved, "Tell me the cause of Zheng Fei's death, and I will draw a map for you."
Yeager's expression was cloudy, and he walked back and forth by the crack of the stone a few times, saying: "I don't believe you will draw the real map to me, you are a person with a lot of thoughts, and you are planning how to harm people every day. "
Xiao Su mocked: "You said it wrong, it's not you and Fang Huize who are plotting to harm me every day?"
Yeager was at a loss for words, Xiao Su said: "This deal, why am I not taking risks? If you just make up a story, wouldn't I be giving you a map for nothing?"
In the obvious dead end, no one could trust anyone, so they all fell silent in unison.
A gust of wind blew over, poured into the crevices of the stone, and made a whimpering sound like a ghost crying. Yeager let out a heavy breath, and said, "Cave diving is too dangerous. If you make a wrong intersection, I may be washed away by the turbulent current, and I will never recover." ...unless you come down with me."
Xiao Su almost laughed: "Do you think I can dive like this?"
Yeager said: "This is the fairest way of trading for us. I have the most advanced diving equipment in my car, with its own power, and you don't need to expend too much physical strength under the effect of buoyancy."
"My cardiopulmonary function is not as good as half of normal people, how can I dive?"
"This is cave diving. The amount of water in rocky caves is generally not large, and there is no such pressure as sea diving. The key lies in the choice of route." Yeager said stubbornly, "Since Zheng Fei drew this route in the picture book, Encrypted with a password, it proves that she has walked this road many times, and you will definitely not be in danger if you go down with me."
Xiao Su found out that he was serious. Yeager really thought that a terminally ill patient could go deep into the cave.
In order to obtain the original biological samples, he has gone crazy, even more crazy than Fang Huize.
"As soon as I get the sample, I will tell you the cause of Zheng Fei's death." Yeager said persistently, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, this is my last guarantee. Otherwise, I will kill you here, anyway, I know the entrance , You can always find that place by exploring slowly in the future.”
Xiao Su looked at the dark stone crevices under his feet, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind.
Finally, he made up his mind: "Okay, I promise you, I will go down with you, but you have to tell me the truth as soon as you arrive at the destination."
Yeager's brown eyes flashed with ecstasy: "It's a deal!"
"A word is settled!"
Yeager took down two sets of diving equipment from the pickup truck, and handed the diving suit to Xiao Su: "This one is automatically temperature-regulated, which can ensure that people will not lose temperature in extremely cold conditions. There are also propellers and oxygen cylinders. It is full and can be used for about six hours."
"enough."
The two put on their diving suits in silence. Yeager found a place beside the rock, installed pulleys, tested the safety rope, and finally put the waterproof bag containing water on his back, saying, "Let's go."
It was already dawn, but the sky was full of dirty dark clouds, and the light was very dim. Xiao Su was hanging on the safety rope, and felt thin raindrops falling from the sky, falling on the diving goggles, and drawing blurry lines. Mark of.
It is going to rain.
The stagnant water in the cave will skyrocket. I don’t know if I can make it to that place, and I don’t know if the place will be completely submerged before I get there... Xiao Su silently prayed to God in his heart to let the rain come later and let the rain fall. It has to be slower and give him more time so that he can send Yeager to the west.
Soon they reached the horizontal hole on the west side. Yeager carried Xiao Su on his back and walked down seven or eight meters, and entered the water. There was no air further down, and they had to start cave diving.
The propeller was humming, Xiao Su grasped the handle with both hands, and found it easier than he imagined. The diving suit was very insulated, and the water gave him gentle buoyancy, so it was easier to move than on the ground.
The only uncomfortable thing is the sense of claustrophobia. After all, the cave is surrounded by hard rock walls, which is completely different from the vast expanse in the sea.
After advancing about 200 meters, the cave became narrower, the water quality was turbid, and the visibility decreased. Xiao Su could only observe the surrounding situation through the lights above his head. He walked very slowly for fear of missing the correct intersection.
The map in my mind gradually overlapped with the real scene in front of me, and Xiao Su's sense of claustrophobia became more and more serious, but thinking about Zheng Fei who came here on the same footsteps 12 years ago, exploring areas that no one had ever set foot before, He felt a warm force enveloping him, calling him.
A few minutes later, the water level suddenly dropped, Xiao Su ran aground in the water, climbed forward a few meters, and reached an almost vertical cliff, the water in the cave fell down like a waterfall, hitting the rocks and sending out deafening echoes.
Yeager rushed up, helped Xiao Su to rest on a big rock aside, and installed pulleys and ropes on the cliff by himself.
Xiao Su didn't feel tired until he calmed down. Although he didn't need to exert a lot of strength underwater, his hands had been holding on to the propeller, and he couldn't lift it up.
"How are you?" Yeager came to see him, shining his face with the searchlight on his head, "Do you want to rest for a while?"
At this time, he suddenly became considerate. Xiao Su expected that his face must be very ugly, but he has gone all the way and must persevere to the end, so he shook his head: "I'm fine, it's raining outside, and the water level will rise if the rain falls High, we may not have enough oxygen by then."
With a serious expression on his face, Yeager got on the safety rope with him on his back, and descended the cliff little by little.
Below was a very deep pool, and they dived to the bottom, found another cave, and continued diving.After a quarter of an hour, Xiao Su finally saw the last fork in the road, manipulated the propeller to turn left, and slid in.
A flat stone crevice, Xiao Su carefully walked around the jagged stone pillars, saw a faint light, followed the light for a few meters, the water level dropped again, and his destination was reached.
Here is a spacious stone hall, covering more than 100 square meters. The dome is five or six meters high. There are many stone crevices on the top, the largest of which can be as big as a fist. The outside skylight penetrates through these stone crevices, illuminating the interior indistinctly Chubby.
The water flowed under the feet and became an underground river, flowing along the passage on the other side of the stone hall, so a small half of the hall was land, with large rocks piled up.
Xiao Su had dived for too long and had already collapsed. When he was dragged out of the water by Yeager, he fainted for a while, but he was woken up soon.
Jaeger laid him on a flat rock and opened the collar of his wetsuit to allow him to breathe.Xiao Su felt weak all over his body, his eyes were bright and dark, and he felt that he had reached the limit. The only thing he was lucky about was that he had arrived at his destination.
"I can't do it anymore." He said weakly, "It's not far away. There is the most difficult road ahead, which is very exhausting. I must rest for a while."
Yeager knew that he was not lying. In fact, it was a miracle that he could persist until here, so he nodded, took out a water bottle and an energy bar and handed them to him.
Xiao Su didn't have the energy to eat, shook his head, closed his eyes for a short rest, and said: "We will leave here through the underground passage on the other side. Yu Li, you can go down and explore first."
Yeager hesitated, Xiao Su paused, and said again: "It's come this far, I won't harm you, otherwise I won't be able to go back by myself."
Yeager was persuaded by him, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go down and have a look alone, you should rest here, you'd better eat something."
"I try my best."
Yeager put on his equipment, jumped into the underground river, and slowly dived into the cave at the bottom of the water.Xiao Su waited until his figure completely disappeared, struggled to get up, opened the valve of his oxygen tank to the maximum, and completely let go of all the remaining air.
A few minutes later, guessing that Yeager would be back soon, Xiao Su closed the air valve, climbed to the shore where he had just entered the water, and found a suitable place to sit.
"The current is very fast and the hole is very narrow, but it's no problem for one person to pass through." Jaeger came out of the water, panting, took off the air tank and equipment, and sat on the ground, "We have to put on clothes as soon as possible." In the past, it may have rained heavily outside, and the water was getting bigger, and it would be very dangerous to wait any longer."
"I know, I've almost had a rest... Would you like something to eat?" Xiao Su gave him an energy bar, and Yeager was really hungry, so he took it and opened the sealed bag to eat.
Xiao Su handed him the water bottle, and leaned forward to look into the underground hole he had just entered: "It's so dark inside, it seems that there are no air holes connected to the ground..." While talking, under the cover of the shadow, the He lifted up the oxygen cylinder he had just removed, gently put it into the water, and pushed it towards the fast-flowing underground passage.
The oxygen cylinder was very light, and it was swept away by the rushing water, and it disappeared after a whirl.Xiao Su breathed out calmly, sat up, and waited for it to go farther, farther.
Yeager burped after eating the energy bar, and seemed to have regained his strength, and said, "Let's go."
Xiao Su turned his head slowly, looked at him and smiled: "Where are you going?"
Yeager felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't react for a while, and said, "Go find the primitive creature."
Xiao Su smiled again: "Oh, then I'm afraid you won't be able to go."
Yeager was taken aback for a moment, then his face changed drastically, he rushed to the side of the submersible, and shouted, "Where's the oxygen tank?"
Xiao Su pointed to the underground river: "It can't wait for you, so it's leaving... After walking for 5 minutes, I don't think you can catch up with it."
Yeager gasped: "What did you say?!" Without bothering him, he turned and ran to his submersible, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the oxygen tank was still there.
Who knows Xiao Su said quietly: "Don't be too happy, first look at the gas meter."
zero.
Yeager turned his head in despair: "Why...are you fucking crazy?"
Xiao Su looked at him quietly, his eyes were bright in the darkness, cold as frost: "There is a way to heaven, you don't go, and there is no way to hell, you come instead, Yeager, I gave you a chance, as long as you are content, don't covet I will let you live for what belongs to me... Unfortunately, you are too greedy!"
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Yeager rushed over like crazy, grabbed his shoulders and shook desperately, "Do you know that we can't get out, if you want to trap me to death, you will die in the Here, huh?"
"I know." Xiao Su said, "I won't live long anyway, so it's not a loss for your life."
"Crazy! You are all crazy!" Yeager threw him on the ground, "You and Fang Huize are both fucking crazy! I shouldn't have anything to do with any of you, I really regret..."
"You should have regretted it 12 years ago." Xiao Su leaned on the rock, his tone serious, "You plundered other people's things, but you never felt uneasy in your heart, and you didn't feel regretful until you were about to die today? Ask yourself, who is it?" madman?"
"Ah!" Yeager put his head in his hands and howled in despair, "I don't believe it! I don't believe you would bet your life on mine! There must be another exit! There must be..." He rushed Come over and grab Xiao Su's arm, "Get up, tell me quickly, you must have left yourself a way out, right?!"
"How is it possible? Look here, how suitable it is for your final cemetery." Xiao Su pointed to the dark river and said, "No matter where you go, you have to dive for more than 10 minutes. Without an oxygen cylinder, you can only drown." die in it."
He looked up at the dome, stretched out his hand, and followed the falling rain from the cracks in the stone: "Originally there was a ventilation hole here, so you could live longer, but it's a pity that it's raining outside, and when the river surges, it will slowly submerge this stone hall... …Oh, by the way, when the time comes, remember to float yourself face up, so that you can die more slowly, and before you die, you may be able to touch the outside world through those cracks in the rocks..."
"Unfortunately, you can touch it, but you can't get out." Xiao Su smiled and said, "In Chinese, this kind of place is called 'Dongtianfudi', and I think it suits you perfectly, so I wish you--happy death! "
Yeager looked into his eyes, and slowly realized that he was serious. There really is no third exit in this place. There are only two underground passages, both of which require oxygen cylinders to leave...
Trapped here, he can only watch the god of death approaching, helpless!
"Ah——" he opened his mouth wide, and let out a hoarse howl as if he was suffocated. The whole person shrank into a ball because of despair, squatting in the shadow of the rock pile.
Xiao Su looked at him with some compassion, and said, "How does it feel to wait to die? It's painful, right? It's okay, just get used to it... I have been waiting to die since I was a teenager, and I promised my mother that it would not end. My own life is really bitter... The feeling of waiting to die is really bitter. Every day when I sleep, I hear someone walking towards me. When I was young, I didn’t know what it was, but I just felt scared. When I grow up, I understand. Those are the footsteps of Death."
His voice was soft but clear, passing through the gurgling water, echoing in the empty stone hall: "I grew up counting the footsteps of Death, I gave up hobbies, ideals, and love... I Knowing that no matter what I like and what I pursue, I will only lose it painfully in the end, so I dare not let myself get it, I think this way I will not lose, and there will be no pain.”
Yeager's howling gradually weakened.Xiao Su continued: "Later, I met a person. He knew that I would not live long, that I was a coward, and that I rejected all love, but he walked to me regardless, accompanied me, protected me, and warmed me. I... love me. I was not qualified to love others, but he gave me the qualification, and he let me know that I, like ordinary people, can have love. "
After a while of silence, he said quietly: "A human life can only last a hundred years. In front of the pines and cypresses, it is as short as the blink of an eye. And mountains, rivers and mountains have existed since ancient times. The thousand-year lifespan of pines and cypresses is just a breath in their eyes... In life, length is not important, completeness is the most important... This sentence was said to me by my father before his death, but I didn't really understand the meaning until I was with him."
Yeager was unknowingly attracted by his narration, and slowly raised his head: "Why did you tell me this?"
Xiao Su sighed, and said: "My lover, Rong Rui, 12 years ago, in July 2017, his mother joined an organization without borders and brought a few colleagues into the virgin forest in the northwest of Whale Lake. Unfortunately, He was killed in a forest base on the east bank of Whale Lake, in a stone house during the riot of the Busina rebels."
If Yeager realized something, his eyes widened in horror.
Xiao Su said: "Her name is Zheng Fei."
Quiet, deadly quiet.
Jaeger suddenly burst into a burst of crazy laughter: "Hahahahaha——"
"So that's it!" Yeager had laughed enough, and stopped panting, his face gradually showing ferocious malice: "It turns out that Zheng Fei is Rong Rui's mother, no wonder you know those ciphertexts and the existence of that picture book... Xiao Su, your acting skills are so good that I completely believed in you and didn't think about anything else at all... Hello, you are fine!"
Xiao Su's tone was calm, but his words were extremely sharp: "So you understand why I would rather perish together than bring you into this stone hall. I already knew that you killed Zheng Fei, and I just want you to give her Pay for your life! I want you to suffer a thousand times more than her, die ten thousand times, and never be reborn!"
He suddenly chuckled and said: "So the so-called truth is not important to me at all. I have long planned to kill you to avenge her. If her unfortunate death has nothing to do with you, then you can only accept it Unlucky, for the person I love the most, I would rather kill by mistake than let him go!"
Yeager was panting like a cow, and when he finally heard the final rage, he said loudly: "No! I killed her! I want to tell you, Xiao Su, she died a terrible death!"
Xiao Su clenched his fists in the dark, but his expression was still indifferent, motionless.Yeager wanted to make him suffer, and hysterically said: "That woman is so stupid. When the rebellion broke out, she could have retreated immediately, but for scientific research, she stayed for three days... three days, if it weren't for She is lucky, she has never met the rebels, and she died [-] times long ago!"
The truth slowly emerged from his incoherent curses: 12 years ago, Zheng Fei discovered the existence of primitive creatures in the Sea of Origin. In order to obtain a stable virus, she did not hesitate to take the risk of being captured by the rebels. Stayed for three days.
Yeager's luck was not so good. His scientific research team encountered the rebels early on, and everyone except him was killed.He ran mindlessly in the jungle for two days and was almost bitten to death by a wild animal. Fortunately, he met Zheng Fei and her colleagues and rescued him.
Several people were preparing to evacuate to the safe area south of Jinghu Lake. In order to treat Yeager's injuries, Zheng Fei had to stay for an extra day. It was also that day that Yeager accidentally discovered her scientific research results.
Yeager has been engaged in scientific research in a similar direction, but because his mentor is not well-known, he has neither funding nor good projects, so he asked to join Zheng Fei's team.But Zheng Fei's project was classified and the level was very high, so she rejected Yeager's request.
On that day, Yeager experienced the most painful decision in his life. In the end, ambition overcame human nature, and he decided to use the power of the rebels to kill Zheng Fei and take possession of her scientific research results.
At night, the colleague who went out to explore the road came back and said that he found the whereabouts of the rebels nearby.For safety's sake, Zheng Fei decided to evacuate overnight, but just as she was packing her things and preparing to load the car, Yeager sneaked out and placed a signal flare in the open space behind the stone house.
As soon as the flare went up, Yeager hid in the jungle.Zheng Fei saw the signal flare, but couldn't find him, and immediately knew that she had been betrayed.Because it was too late to escape, she hid important things in a rock pit south of the stone house in desperation.
Within minutes, Bushna's rebels found them.
"She died so badly!" In the stone hall, Yeager said through gritted teeth, "I heard the rebels broke into the stone house, tied up all of them, and hung them in the woods to the west. They said this The woman must be a witch, so they caught a chicken and chopped off its head and threw it on her, and then they cheered and shot her indiscriminately."
Fear and hatred tormented him alternately, Yeager drooled uncontrollably, and said inarticulately: "So
The wet dusty smell dilutes the smell of blood, Xiao Suyuan was exhausted, but at this moment he suddenly regained some strength, so he got up by force, and moved Fang Huize's right leg that was pressing on him.
Something hit the ground with a heavy muffled sound. Xiao Su touched it. It was a gun, the small pistol that Fang Huize originally planned to kill him.
With lingering fears in his heart, Xiao Su realized that if the bullet was delayed by one second, or half a second, it would not be Fang Huize who was lying in the pool of blood at this moment, but himself...
He looked towards the direction where the bullet was coming from, which was the east, the direction where ELYsion was.
Does this mean that Rong Rui and the others have successfully broken through Buschna's line of defense and discovered Fang Huize's escape route?
Xiao Su couldn't believe it, his luck was so good this time, God had been embarrassing him for 27 years, and today he was suddenly merciful.
The dense fog completely covered the sight, the wind stopped, the air seemed to be stagnant, and water could be squeezed out with a handful of water. Xiao Su leaned on the guardrail and waited for the sniper who fired - although he didn't know much about firearms, he could still see them. The shot just now was a long-range sniper.
Yes, during the trip to East Africa, they used the real killer—Rong Sihuan and his ace special forces.
Except for the first team and the second team, their operation has achieved cross-border linkage through the franchise of the deputy director Sang Guoting.Xiao Su's level is limited, so it is not clear what "boundary" this linkage has crossed, but he knows that one of the troops is from the military.
Because Rong Rui told him in private before departure that Rong Sihuan applied to lead the team in person and secretly cooperate with the Criminal Investigation Bureau's transnational operations.
"He told me himself this morning that he will go to East Africa via another route, and he will be on standby in Sangwaga directly to carry out the undercover task." They packed their luggage in the room that night, and Rong Rui squatted in front of the glass tank to feed the king lizard. It's rare for Cai Ye not to be impatient, and she is especially gentle and patient, "With him here, this operation will be safe, brother, don't worry."
Xiao Su had nothing to worry about, he was just surprised: "A secret mission? What kind of secret mission?"
"I don't know the specifics. The content of the military's operations is confidential." Rong Rui replied, "Actually, he told me that this incident was against the regulations, and I was also very surprised. He has never made such a mistake in so many years. In the past, even my grandfather didn’t dare to ask him about his assignments.”
"Ah? Then why..."
"For you." Rong Rui turned his head, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "He just wants to tell you that he is protecting you and reassuring you. He has a special status and cannot tell you directly, so he can only tell you through me. This is at most confidential If it is not in place, it is not a principled error.”
At that time, Xiao Su's heart was very warm, Rong Sihuan was able to think of him to such an extent, he really regarded him as a relative, as a half son.
Xiao Su leaned against the guardrail, smiled slightly, and his mind was full of Rong Rui's triumphant appearance at that moment.In fact, no matter what kind of estrangement there is between him and his father, Rong Rui has always trusted Rong Sihuan unconditionally in his subconscious mind, and regards him as his most stable backer.
Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps on the shore, Xiao Su's heart skipped a beat, and he listened intently. The footsteps came from far to near, and he quickly jumped onto the deck from the gravel pier.
A tall figure of a man slowly emerged in the mist, Xiao Su almost called out Rong Rui's name, but when he saw the man's appearance clearly, he was stunned, and the blood fell to the soles of his feet all of a sudden——
Yeager, wearing a camouflage outdoor suit and a baseball cap, walked over cautiously with a gun in both hands.He saw Fang Huize in a pool of blood, his figure suddenly froze, as if he had seen a ghost, and cursed in a low voice: "FUC..."
Xiao Su never expected that it was him who was waiting, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he tightly held the gun he picked up from Fang Huize.
"You killed him?" Yeager looked at Xiao Su in disbelief, and then at the gun in his hand, "God...how did you...he died?!"
"Don't come here!" Xiao Su realized that he still had a picture book on him. Although he didn't know how to shoot at all, he pointed the gun at him at the first time, and guessed why he appeared—it must be because he shot it just now. That signal flare!
Last night, Yeager panicked and fled overnight, but he couldn't let go of the original creature that he had been pondering for 12 years. After recovering, he immediately regretted it, so he sneaked back to ELYsion, looking for a chance to get back the picture book.
But at that time, Fang Huize had already taken him away. Yeager couldn't find them, but he knew the secret underground passage, so he followed the secret passage to find the place where the off-road vehicle was hiding.
Based on what he knew about Fang Huize, he would have guessed that they would go west, so he chased to Jinghu Lake, and then, seeing the signal flare, he found it on the boat just in case.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Su pushed everything out, and at the same time his heart sank to the bottom—without Fang Huize, Yeager would no longer have to be afraid of him, and would definitely try to get him to tell the secret of the picture book and find the route to the primitive creature .
With his current physical strength, he is definitely not Yeager's opponent, and the fog on the lake is so thick that the sniper has no conditions to fire a second shot.
Now, his only way is to drag, drag until the sniper finds here.
Rong Rui once said that Rong Sihuan's ultimate sniper distance is 2950 meters, and no one has broken the record so far, so the sniper who saved him was only 2950 meters away.According to the speed of Rongrui, it takes at most 2950 minutes to cross-country 15 meters.
It has been about 5 minutes since Fang Huize was shot dead, so as long as you delay it for at most 10 minutes, you will be saved... Xiao Su's thoughts turned, and the gun in his hand kept pointing steadily at Yeager: "If you dare to take a step closer, I will shoot you!" gun!"
Yeager was stopped, and stopped on the other side of the deck, looking around with bloodshot eyes, making sure that he was the only one here, and his expression gradually relaxed: "Don't be nervous, Xiao, I won't hurt you, I can Help you... he is dead and I will still be there, as long as you tell me where the primitive organisms are, I will soon be able to develop a medicine to curb your illness."
Xiao Su didn't believe him a word, in order to delay time, he pretended to be skeptical: "Don't come here, I don't believe it...you have no ability to save me, at most you can make me a living dead like Ngufu..."
"No no, you trust me, I can do it." Yeager raised one hand in a gesture of comforting him, and said, "You should be very clear about my progress, you have read all my reports...you Didn’t I also say that? With my current research ideas, as long as I get the original sample, I can make a breakthrough within a few weeks.”
"I just said that to comfort you, and the purpose is to let you give me the picture book." Xiao Su said, "You really believe it! Do you think you are a genius? One person can come up with a big project."
Yeager's face turned red all of a sudden: "No! You are talking nonsense! I can do it, I have already mastered the research ideas..." Suddenly, he realized something, and his expression suddenly became ferocious: "You are kidding me! You are wasting time!"
Xiao Su screamed that it was not good, Yeager excitedly pointed his gun at him, and growled in a low voice: "You know there must be other people who saw the flare, so wait for them to rescue you! I should have expected it, you This wolf in sheep's clothing, you even killed Fang Huize, you are more ruthless than anyone else!"
Before he finished speaking, he raised the suitcase at the door of the cabin and smashed it over with lightning speed.Xiao Su couldn't dodge in time, he pulled the trigger carelessly in desperation, but was hit by the suitcase, his hand tilted, and the bullet grazed the opposite railing and flew out.
At the moment of the gunshot, Yeager yelled, covered his head and fell to the ground. When he found that he was knocked crooked, he was overjoyed immediately, got up and rushed towards him!
The gun in Xiao Su's hand was kicked away, Yeager pressed him firmly, and shouted, "Don't move! Where's the picture book? Where's my picture book?"
Xiao Su panted, "That, that's not... your picture book!"
"It's mine, it's mine!" Jaeger yelled nervously, ripping off his coat and groping frantically on him.Xiao Su struggled weakly twice, was punched by him, and almost passed out.
"Aha! I found it!" Yeager finally found the picture book wrapped in a waterproof membrane, jumped up ecstatically, kissed it twice, and laughed.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Xiao Su slowly crawled towards the pistol. Unfortunately, he was discovered just as he reached the handle of the gun. Yeager screamed and kicked the gun into the lake.
"What do you want to do, huh?" Yeager stuffed the picture book into his clothes and dragged Xiao Su up from the ground, "You still want to kill me? You don't want to see what you look like!"
His eyes were bloodshot, and he pressed the muzzle of the gun against Xiao Su's temple: "It's as easy for me to kill you now as to crush an ant!"
"Fire, shoot!" At this point, Xiao Su had no choice but to gamble that in order to decipher the cipher text, he would not be willing to shoot himself to death for the time being.
Sure enough, Yeager showed his vicious appearance. He touched the trigger with his index finger several times, but he never pressed it down. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's make a deal. You tell me the ciphertext, and I will let you go today."
Xiao Su sneered: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Just shoot! Anyway, you still have a long life, and you will have plenty of time to read comics in the rest of your life!"
Yeager gritted his teeth, and finally became cruel, and said, "Didn't you always want to know the cause of death of the owner of the picture book? How about this deal?"
Xiao Su was silent, and now it has become a deadlock. Yeager has limited patience and will not let him delay for long. If he is in a hurry, he will just shoot him to death. At worst, he will escape with the picture book, and he can study slowly in the future.
But in that case, Zheng Fei's death will become an eternal mystery. No one knows that she was framed by her peers, no one knows that she made such a great discovery during her lifetime, and Rong Rui will never have the chance to get the last picture book , without even knowing it exists.
There is nothing to hesitate. Only by surviving can there be a chance of survival... Xiao Su's heart broke, and he said, "Okay, I promise you."
Yeager breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured, "Thank God!"
"Go, get the wheelchair." Xiao Su pointed to a corner of the opposite deck.Yeager snatched it away and went to get the wheelchair. Xiao Su took out the white paper on which the map of the maze was traced from his shirt breast pocket, pressed a bloody handprint with his thumb, and pressed it under Fang Huize's body.
"We have to get out of here immediately." Under the cover of dense fog, Yeager didn't notice his small movements at all, picked him up and placed him on the wheelchair, "Maybe Busina's people also saw the signal flare, wait for her to find it We're dead."
In the humid fog, Xiao Su was put into a pickup truck by Yeager. When he got into the car, he noticed that there were several sample boxes in the back of the car, as well as tents, cooking utensils, etc. needed for survival in the wild, and even Equipment for diving and mountaineering.
With so many things, it must not be possible to get ready all at once last night. It seems that Yeager has learned a hand from Fang Huize, and he has prepared a lot of running tools for himself.
"Go north." Xiao Su pointed to the direction of the tail of Whale Lake, "Go to the Sea of Origin."
Yeager looked at him in surprise: "The Sea of Origin? Where are the primitive creatures? You have already..."
"Let's go." Xiao Su said, "I've already studied picture books."
Yeager's light brown eyes sparkled with surprise and surprise, he immediately started the engine, and drove Xiao Su to the Sea of Origin.
The wind was blowing in the forest, and the fog on the lake was slowly dissipating. The pickup truck was heading north, with the Whale Lake appearing and disappearing on the left, and the endless jungle on the right.The sky is brightening, and a large white belly is exposed in the east, but there is no sun, and it is gloomy.
Xiao Su felt that fate was very ironic. A few minutes ago he was still thanking the heavens, but a few minutes later he fell into desperation again.
Maybe it's because the horoscope is not good. He has never had any luck in his life.
Reincarnate in the next life, let's become a green iguana, he thought a little divergently, it would be better to meet such a willing owner as a dog licker like him, eat and drink every day without giving him a good face.
"We're coming." Yeager's voice interrupted his reverie, and Xiao Su woke up with a start, and found that they had almost arrived at the Sea of Origin, and the car was crawling on the high rocky shore north of Whale Lake.
It is called "sea" here, but in fact there is no water, but an ocean formed by rocks. It was here that Rong Sihuan discovered Zheng Fei's distress signal.Xiao Su felt that there seemed to be some destiny in the dark, and finally he also came here.
"Front, stop for a moment." Xiao Su carefully identified and found the landmark shown on the map - a depression surrounded by several boulders.
Yeager stopped the car and pushed him over. In the center of the depression was a huge crack ten meters long and three meters wide, like a giant's big mouth. The inside was unfathomable and pitch black.
"It's just below." Xiao Su pointed to the crack in the stone and said, "Climb down about 20 meters with the vertical rope, and a horizontal passage will appear on the west side. Walk along the passage obliquely downward for a while, and then start cave diving..."
He looked up at Yeager: "I see you brought cave diving tools?"
Yeager stood by the crevice of the stone and threw a fist-sized stone down. The stone bumped against the uneven rock several times and fell into the water with a "plop".
"Did you draw the map based on the picture book?" He asked Xiao Su, "Give me the map, I want to know if you are lying to me."
"There is no ready-made map." Xiao Su pointed to his head, "It's all here, I'm not that stupid, I drew such an important thing and waited for you to search."
Yeager's face grew hostile: "Are you fucking kidding me?"
"A good deal." Xiao Su remained unmoved, "Tell me the cause of Zheng Fei's death, and I will draw a map for you."
Yeager's expression was cloudy, and he walked back and forth by the crack of the stone a few times, saying: "I don't believe you will draw the real map to me, you are a person with a lot of thoughts, and you are planning how to harm people every day. "
Xiao Su mocked: "You said it wrong, it's not you and Fang Huize who are plotting to harm me every day?"
Yeager was at a loss for words, Xiao Su said: "This deal, why am I not taking risks? If you just make up a story, wouldn't I be giving you a map for nothing?"
In the obvious dead end, no one could trust anyone, so they all fell silent in unison.
A gust of wind blew over, poured into the crevices of the stone, and made a whimpering sound like a ghost crying. Yeager let out a heavy breath, and said, "Cave diving is too dangerous. If you make a wrong intersection, I may be washed away by the turbulent current, and I will never recover." ...unless you come down with me."
Xiao Su almost laughed: "Do you think I can dive like this?"
Yeager said: "This is the fairest way of trading for us. I have the most advanced diving equipment in my car, with its own power, and you don't need to expend too much physical strength under the effect of buoyancy."
"My cardiopulmonary function is not as good as half of normal people, how can I dive?"
"This is cave diving. The amount of water in rocky caves is generally not large, and there is no such pressure as sea diving. The key lies in the choice of route." Yeager said stubbornly, "Since Zheng Fei drew this route in the picture book, Encrypted with a password, it proves that she has walked this road many times, and you will definitely not be in danger if you go down with me."
Xiao Su found out that he was serious. Yeager really thought that a terminally ill patient could go deep into the cave.
In order to obtain the original biological samples, he has gone crazy, even more crazy than Fang Huize.
"As soon as I get the sample, I will tell you the cause of Zheng Fei's death." Yeager said persistently, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, this is my last guarantee. Otherwise, I will kill you here, anyway, I know the entrance , You can always find that place by exploring slowly in the future.”
Xiao Su looked at the dark stone crevices under his feet, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind.
Finally, he made up his mind: "Okay, I promise you, I will go down with you, but you have to tell me the truth as soon as you arrive at the destination."
Yeager's brown eyes flashed with ecstasy: "It's a deal!"
"A word is settled!"
Yeager took down two sets of diving equipment from the pickup truck, and handed the diving suit to Xiao Su: "This one is automatically temperature-regulated, which can ensure that people will not lose temperature in extremely cold conditions. There are also propellers and oxygen cylinders. It is full and can be used for about six hours."
"enough."
The two put on their diving suits in silence. Yeager found a place beside the rock, installed pulleys, tested the safety rope, and finally put the waterproof bag containing water on his back, saying, "Let's go."
It was already dawn, but the sky was full of dirty dark clouds, and the light was very dim. Xiao Su was hanging on the safety rope, and felt thin raindrops falling from the sky, falling on the diving goggles, and drawing blurry lines. Mark of.
It is going to rain.
The stagnant water in the cave will skyrocket. I don’t know if I can make it to that place, and I don’t know if the place will be completely submerged before I get there... Xiao Su silently prayed to God in his heart to let the rain come later and let the rain fall. It has to be slower and give him more time so that he can send Yeager to the west.
Soon they reached the horizontal hole on the west side. Yeager carried Xiao Su on his back and walked down seven or eight meters, and entered the water. There was no air further down, and they had to start cave diving.
The propeller was humming, Xiao Su grasped the handle with both hands, and found it easier than he imagined. The diving suit was very insulated, and the water gave him gentle buoyancy, so it was easier to move than on the ground.
The only uncomfortable thing is the sense of claustrophobia. After all, the cave is surrounded by hard rock walls, which is completely different from the vast expanse in the sea.
After advancing about 200 meters, the cave became narrower, the water quality was turbid, and the visibility decreased. Xiao Su could only observe the surrounding situation through the lights above his head. He walked very slowly for fear of missing the correct intersection.
The map in my mind gradually overlapped with the real scene in front of me, and Xiao Su's sense of claustrophobia became more and more serious, but thinking about Zheng Fei who came here on the same footsteps 12 years ago, exploring areas that no one had ever set foot before, He felt a warm force enveloping him, calling him.
A few minutes later, the water level suddenly dropped, Xiao Su ran aground in the water, climbed forward a few meters, and reached an almost vertical cliff, the water in the cave fell down like a waterfall, hitting the rocks and sending out deafening echoes.
Yeager rushed up, helped Xiao Su to rest on a big rock aside, and installed pulleys and ropes on the cliff by himself.
Xiao Su didn't feel tired until he calmed down. Although he didn't need to exert a lot of strength underwater, his hands had been holding on to the propeller, and he couldn't lift it up.
"How are you?" Yeager came to see him, shining his face with the searchlight on his head, "Do you want to rest for a while?"
At this time, he suddenly became considerate. Xiao Su expected that his face must be very ugly, but he has gone all the way and must persevere to the end, so he shook his head: "I'm fine, it's raining outside, and the water level will rise if the rain falls High, we may not have enough oxygen by then."
With a serious expression on his face, Yeager got on the safety rope with him on his back, and descended the cliff little by little.
Below was a very deep pool, and they dived to the bottom, found another cave, and continued diving.After a quarter of an hour, Xiao Su finally saw the last fork in the road, manipulated the propeller to turn left, and slid in.
A flat stone crevice, Xiao Su carefully walked around the jagged stone pillars, saw a faint light, followed the light for a few meters, the water level dropped again, and his destination was reached.
Here is a spacious stone hall, covering more than 100 square meters. The dome is five or six meters high. There are many stone crevices on the top, the largest of which can be as big as a fist. The outside skylight penetrates through these stone crevices, illuminating the interior indistinctly Chubby.
The water flowed under the feet and became an underground river, flowing along the passage on the other side of the stone hall, so a small half of the hall was land, with large rocks piled up.
Xiao Su had dived for too long and had already collapsed. When he was dragged out of the water by Yeager, he fainted for a while, but he was woken up soon.
Jaeger laid him on a flat rock and opened the collar of his wetsuit to allow him to breathe.Xiao Su felt weak all over his body, his eyes were bright and dark, and he felt that he had reached the limit. The only thing he was lucky about was that he had arrived at his destination.
"I can't do it anymore." He said weakly, "It's not far away. There is the most difficult road ahead, which is very exhausting. I must rest for a while."
Yeager knew that he was not lying. In fact, it was a miracle that he could persist until here, so he nodded, took out a water bottle and an energy bar and handed them to him.
Xiao Su didn't have the energy to eat, shook his head, closed his eyes for a short rest, and said: "We will leave here through the underground passage on the other side. Yu Li, you can go down and explore first."
Yeager hesitated, Xiao Su paused, and said again: "It's come this far, I won't harm you, otherwise I won't be able to go back by myself."
Yeager was persuaded by him, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go down and have a look alone, you should rest here, you'd better eat something."
"I try my best."
Yeager put on his equipment, jumped into the underground river, and slowly dived into the cave at the bottom of the water.Xiao Su waited until his figure completely disappeared, struggled to get up, opened the valve of his oxygen tank to the maximum, and completely let go of all the remaining air.
A few minutes later, guessing that Yeager would be back soon, Xiao Su closed the air valve, climbed to the shore where he had just entered the water, and found a suitable place to sit.
"The current is very fast and the hole is very narrow, but it's no problem for one person to pass through." Jaeger came out of the water, panting, took off the air tank and equipment, and sat on the ground, "We have to put on clothes as soon as possible." In the past, it may have rained heavily outside, and the water was getting bigger, and it would be very dangerous to wait any longer."
"I know, I've almost had a rest... Would you like something to eat?" Xiao Su gave him an energy bar, and Yeager was really hungry, so he took it and opened the sealed bag to eat.
Xiao Su handed him the water bottle, and leaned forward to look into the underground hole he had just entered: "It's so dark inside, it seems that there are no air holes connected to the ground..." While talking, under the cover of the shadow, the He lifted up the oxygen cylinder he had just removed, gently put it into the water, and pushed it towards the fast-flowing underground passage.
The oxygen cylinder was very light, and it was swept away by the rushing water, and it disappeared after a whirl.Xiao Su breathed out calmly, sat up, and waited for it to go farther, farther.
Yeager burped after eating the energy bar, and seemed to have regained his strength, and said, "Let's go."
Xiao Su turned his head slowly, looked at him and smiled: "Where are you going?"
Yeager felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't react for a while, and said, "Go find the primitive creature."
Xiao Su smiled again: "Oh, then I'm afraid you won't be able to go."
Yeager was taken aback for a moment, then his face changed drastically, he rushed to the side of the submersible, and shouted, "Where's the oxygen tank?"
Xiao Su pointed to the underground river: "It can't wait for you, so it's leaving... After walking for 5 minutes, I don't think you can catch up with it."
Yeager gasped: "What did you say?!" Without bothering him, he turned and ran to his submersible, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the oxygen tank was still there.
Who knows Xiao Su said quietly: "Don't be too happy, first look at the gas meter."
zero.
Yeager turned his head in despair: "Why...are you fucking crazy?"
Xiao Su looked at him quietly, his eyes were bright in the darkness, cold as frost: "There is a way to heaven, you don't go, and there is no way to hell, you come instead, Yeager, I gave you a chance, as long as you are content, don't covet I will let you live for what belongs to me... Unfortunately, you are too greedy!"
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Yeager rushed over like crazy, grabbed his shoulders and shook desperately, "Do you know that we can't get out, if you want to trap me to death, you will die in the Here, huh?"
"I know." Xiao Su said, "I won't live long anyway, so it's not a loss for your life."
"Crazy! You are all crazy!" Yeager threw him on the ground, "You and Fang Huize are both fucking crazy! I shouldn't have anything to do with any of you, I really regret..."
"You should have regretted it 12 years ago." Xiao Su leaned on the rock, his tone serious, "You plundered other people's things, but you never felt uneasy in your heart, and you didn't feel regretful until you were about to die today? Ask yourself, who is it?" madman?"
"Ah!" Yeager put his head in his hands and howled in despair, "I don't believe it! I don't believe you would bet your life on mine! There must be another exit! There must be..." He rushed Come over and grab Xiao Su's arm, "Get up, tell me quickly, you must have left yourself a way out, right?!"
"How is it possible? Look here, how suitable it is for your final cemetery." Xiao Su pointed to the dark river and said, "No matter where you go, you have to dive for more than 10 minutes. Without an oxygen cylinder, you can only drown." die in it."
He looked up at the dome, stretched out his hand, and followed the falling rain from the cracks in the stone: "Originally there was a ventilation hole here, so you could live longer, but it's a pity that it's raining outside, and when the river surges, it will slowly submerge this stone hall... …Oh, by the way, when the time comes, remember to float yourself face up, so that you can die more slowly, and before you die, you may be able to touch the outside world through those cracks in the rocks..."
"Unfortunately, you can touch it, but you can't get out." Xiao Su smiled and said, "In Chinese, this kind of place is called 'Dongtianfudi', and I think it suits you perfectly, so I wish you--happy death! "
Yeager looked into his eyes, and slowly realized that he was serious. There really is no third exit in this place. There are only two underground passages, both of which require oxygen cylinders to leave...
Trapped here, he can only watch the god of death approaching, helpless!
"Ah——" he opened his mouth wide, and let out a hoarse howl as if he was suffocated. The whole person shrank into a ball because of despair, squatting in the shadow of the rock pile.
Xiao Su looked at him with some compassion, and said, "How does it feel to wait to die? It's painful, right? It's okay, just get used to it... I have been waiting to die since I was a teenager, and I promised my mother that it would not end. My own life is really bitter... The feeling of waiting to die is really bitter. Every day when I sleep, I hear someone walking towards me. When I was young, I didn’t know what it was, but I just felt scared. When I grow up, I understand. Those are the footsteps of Death."
His voice was soft but clear, passing through the gurgling water, echoing in the empty stone hall: "I grew up counting the footsteps of Death, I gave up hobbies, ideals, and love... I Knowing that no matter what I like and what I pursue, I will only lose it painfully in the end, so I dare not let myself get it, I think this way I will not lose, and there will be no pain.”
Yeager's howling gradually weakened.Xiao Su continued: "Later, I met a person. He knew that I would not live long, that I was a coward, and that I rejected all love, but he walked to me regardless, accompanied me, protected me, and warmed me. I... love me. I was not qualified to love others, but he gave me the qualification, and he let me know that I, like ordinary people, can have love. "
After a while of silence, he said quietly: "A human life can only last a hundred years. In front of the pines and cypresses, it is as short as the blink of an eye. And mountains, rivers and mountains have existed since ancient times. The thousand-year lifespan of pines and cypresses is just a breath in their eyes... In life, length is not important, completeness is the most important... This sentence was said to me by my father before his death, but I didn't really understand the meaning until I was with him."
Yeager was unknowingly attracted by his narration, and slowly raised his head: "Why did you tell me this?"
Xiao Su sighed, and said: "My lover, Rong Rui, 12 years ago, in July 2017, his mother joined an organization without borders and brought a few colleagues into the virgin forest in the northwest of Whale Lake. Unfortunately, He was killed in a forest base on the east bank of Whale Lake, in a stone house during the riot of the Busina rebels."
If Yeager realized something, his eyes widened in horror.
Xiao Su said: "Her name is Zheng Fei."
Quiet, deadly quiet.
Jaeger suddenly burst into a burst of crazy laughter: "Hahahahaha——"
"So that's it!" Yeager had laughed enough, and stopped panting, his face gradually showing ferocious malice: "It turns out that Zheng Fei is Rong Rui's mother, no wonder you know those ciphertexts and the existence of that picture book... Xiao Su, your acting skills are so good that I completely believed in you and didn't think about anything else at all... Hello, you are fine!"
Xiao Su's tone was calm, but his words were extremely sharp: "So you understand why I would rather perish together than bring you into this stone hall. I already knew that you killed Zheng Fei, and I just want you to give her Pay for your life! I want you to suffer a thousand times more than her, die ten thousand times, and never be reborn!"
He suddenly chuckled and said: "So the so-called truth is not important to me at all. I have long planned to kill you to avenge her. If her unfortunate death has nothing to do with you, then you can only accept it Unlucky, for the person I love the most, I would rather kill by mistake than let him go!"
Yeager was panting like a cow, and when he finally heard the final rage, he said loudly: "No! I killed her! I want to tell you, Xiao Su, she died a terrible death!"
Xiao Su clenched his fists in the dark, but his expression was still indifferent, motionless.Yeager wanted to make him suffer, and hysterically said: "That woman is so stupid. When the rebellion broke out, she could have retreated immediately, but for scientific research, she stayed for three days... three days, if it weren't for She is lucky, she has never met the rebels, and she died [-] times long ago!"
The truth slowly emerged from his incoherent curses: 12 years ago, Zheng Fei discovered the existence of primitive creatures in the Sea of Origin. In order to obtain a stable virus, she did not hesitate to take the risk of being captured by the rebels. Stayed for three days.
Yeager's luck was not so good. His scientific research team encountered the rebels early on, and everyone except him was killed.He ran mindlessly in the jungle for two days and was almost bitten to death by a wild animal. Fortunately, he met Zheng Fei and her colleagues and rescued him.
Several people were preparing to evacuate to the safe area south of Jinghu Lake. In order to treat Yeager's injuries, Zheng Fei had to stay for an extra day. It was also that day that Yeager accidentally discovered her scientific research results.
Yeager has been engaged in scientific research in a similar direction, but because his mentor is not well-known, he has neither funding nor good projects, so he asked to join Zheng Fei's team.But Zheng Fei's project was classified and the level was very high, so she rejected Yeager's request.
On that day, Yeager experienced the most painful decision in his life. In the end, ambition overcame human nature, and he decided to use the power of the rebels to kill Zheng Fei and take possession of her scientific research results.
At night, the colleague who went out to explore the road came back and said that he found the whereabouts of the rebels nearby.For safety's sake, Zheng Fei decided to evacuate overnight, but just as she was packing her things and preparing to load the car, Yeager sneaked out and placed a signal flare in the open space behind the stone house.
As soon as the flare went up, Yeager hid in the jungle.Zheng Fei saw the signal flare, but couldn't find him, and immediately knew that she had been betrayed.Because it was too late to escape, she hid important things in a rock pit south of the stone house in desperation.
Within minutes, Bushna's rebels found them.
"She died so badly!" In the stone hall, Yeager said through gritted teeth, "I heard the rebels broke into the stone house, tied up all of them, and hung them in the woods to the west. They said this The woman must be a witch, so they caught a chicken and chopped off its head and threw it on her, and then they cheered and shot her indiscriminately."
Fear and hatred tormented him alternately, Yeager drooled uncontrollably, and said inarticulately: "So
