Chapter 86 Underground Lake

When Shuai Sanshi said this, his eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly said to Chen Ziyang: "By the way, go and see the injury on Liu Cong's hand, I think his injury is rather strange, it seems that it is not an ordinary injury. "

Chen Ziyang hurried to Liu Cong's place, and found that he hadn't woken up yet, and seemed to be shaking.Raising his hand to test the temperature of his forehead, Chen Ziyang found that Liu Cong had a high fever.His forehead felt hot when he touched it.Chen Ziyang thought that it was no wonder that Liu Cong was brought back with the support of Shuai Sanshi before. With such a high body temperature, he was already exhausted.

After untiing the bandage wrapped around Liu Cong's left hand, Chen Ziyang saw that half of Liu Cong's arm had turned black.At first he thought that Liu Cong was bitten by a snake, or because of some other reasons, he was poisoned, but after Chen Ziyang took a closer look, he found that Liu Cong seemed to have been poisoned by a corpse, and Now this half of the arm looks somewhat similar to the corpse monster's arm.

At this time, Chen Ziyang remembered that when Liu Cong used his palm to form a talisman, he once pressed the palm of his left hand on the body of the corpse demon. It may be at that time that the corpse poison entered his body along the wound on his hand , became what he is now.Fortunately, Shuai Sanshi reminded him in time, if Liu Cong's entire arm turns black, there is no way to save him, and after his corpse poisons his heart, he will also turn into a corpse demon, which will be troublesome at that time.

Before he had time to think about the reason, Chen Ziyang first took out a piece of talisman paper from Liu Cong, drew a talisman, lit it and turned it into talisman water for him to drink.Then I found a big plastic bag, put the little raw glutinous rice I had on my body into it, poured in some water, and used this plastic bag to soak Liu Cong's blackened half of his forearm in the glutinous rice. in the water.

Originally, the best way to get rid of corpse poison was to apply glutinous rice on the wound, and pull out the damp poison little by little, but because there is very little glutinous rice now, I had to use this method, but I don’t know if it’s possible Thoroughly suck out the wet poison.But this can at least temporarily relieve Liu Cong's corpse poison from flowing to the heart, which should play a certain role.

After finishing all this, Chen Ziyang went to Wang Lele and Lin Xueping to take a look.Seeing that the two of them were resting all the time because they were frightened and overtired, they didn't wake up, didn't eat, and there was nothing serious about it, so they felt relieved and came back to listen to what Shuai Sanshi continued.

After telling Shuai Sanshi that Liu Cong was not in danger of life, Shuai Sanshi nodded reassuringly, and then said: "We are lucky to have him on this journey, otherwise, we might not be able to see you all alive. I went on to say that the passage was really long, and it took us almost a day to walk. We were always walking in the same environment and looking at the same things, which made people feel sleepy the most, and everyone walked in a daze.

Just when everyone was exhausted, a gust of cool wind woke everyone up.The soldiers in front reported that the passage had come to an end, and there was a huge body of water ahead.This underground lake is huge, with no end in sight at a glance, and the lake is relatively deep. The shallow places are three or four meters long, and the deep places are more than five or six meters.

The lake is full of various plants that have never been seen before, and the strangest thing is that none of these plants are green, most of them are mainly dark red, and occasionally there are some yellow ones.At that time, Qin Liang judged that these plants did not need sunlight, because without the relationship of chlorophyll, they could not carry out photosynthesis, and these plants were not green at the same time.This kind of plant can only be found in the deep underground where there is no sunshine all year round.

Qin Liang suggested that everyone continue to advance in the water along the channel.Because according to his judgment, this channel is used to transport large-scale construction materials. According to the current situation, these large-scale construction materials should be tied to wooden rafts with wheels.

In this case, when the wooden raft arrives at the current place, it will fall into the water and float on the water, and there is no need to use a lot of manual handling. Therefore, normally speaking, the direction of progress of this tomb passage should also be where everyone is in the water. Forward direction.

Battalion Commander Jin felt that what Qin Liang said was reasonable, so he did not reject his idea, but he encountered difficulties when several people got into the water. Firstly, there were too many plants in the water, layered on top of each other, and the plants were under the water. The rhizomes are very tough, and it is easy to trip people. At the same time, there are many people who can't swim in the team, and some of the equipment they carry is also very heavy. It is almost impossible for the whole team to pass through this place completely. piece of water.

Everyone was resting on the spot, and a few soldiers who could swim carefully searched around. While we were resting in the passage, Liu Cong suddenly fainted. Only after I touched him did I realize that he had a high fever. Yes, the North Korean team doctor checked his injuries and found that the wound on his left hand seemed to be infected, and then gave him antipyretic and anti-inflammatory injections, saying that there was no serious problem, so I was relieved for the time being.

Later, as Qin Liang said, several soldiers found a wooden raft parked nearby. Most of the wooden rafts parked in the water were rotten, and the wood broke into two pieces when touched, but a few The wooden raft was parked on the stone wall. These soldiers took a lot of effort to get the wooden raft down and found that the wooden raft was still usable.

At this moment, all the problems of the entire scientific expedition team were solved. Everyone put all the equipment on the raft, and people who could not swim also got on the raft. The raft was large and strong. More than enough.The remaining swimmers took turns pushing the raft forward in the water. At the same time, the people on the raft tied machetes to the long sticks to break off the plants in the direction of advancement and reduce the resistance of the raft.

Everyone walked on the water like this. Since entering this place, this section of the journey is the most pleasant for us. Not to mention tired, we can still look at the strange scenery around us. Some plants even glow under the light. , very beautiful.Qin Liang was even more fascinated by these things, and kept collecting various specimens, saying that he wanted to take them back for research. These were all important discoveries in botany and archaeology.

There were more than [-] soldiers who could swim, and they were divided into two groups. There were two soldiers pushing forward at the end of the row, and four soldiers on each side of the row helped to pull forward. The long poles are used as poles, but the silt at the bottom of the lake is very thin, and the stone surface under the silt is too slippery. These poles can't use force, and they don't have much effect. They mainly rely on people to push them.Although the wooden raft moves slowly, it moves steadily.

But the good times didn't last long. It may be that the journey was too easy. Everyone relaxed their vigilance. It was not until the soldiers swam in the water for half an hour, when it was time to change shifts, that someone discovered the rear of the raft. All the soldiers pushing the wooden raft forward were gone! "
