Finally rubbed through the nine-story demon building, walked forward less than two hundred steps, suddenly the feet were soft, as if stepping on some huge animal, I used a flashlight to shine, under the feet is a huge reptile that has never been seen before, it spits out a long tongue, the color of the skin and the ground is very close, it looks a bit like a monitor lizard, and a bit like a crocodile, but not so rough skin, and the front kiss is not as sharp as a lizard, it looks relatively round, the tongue is like a snake, red and long, the front is forked, and the skin of the whole body is pitch black, It is covered with large white round spots, and in terms of appearance, it can basically be described as a super frog with a long tail.
I was not afraid of heaven and earth in my life, but I was more afraid of this disgusting thing, so frightened that I shrank behind the big man, and the big man also saw this strange animal, and was also startled. The soldier's only companion he could rely on was the gun, and he instinctively raised the gun to shoot, snapping and firing, and the reptile writhed a few times and died.
At this time, Luo Ning, who was walking at the end, walked over, looked at the dead bodies of animals on the ground, and said to us with a sigh: "This is a salamander that lives underground, eating insects and mayflies for a living, and does not hurt people. "
I don't feel sorry for killing an animal, I'm worried about whether the big man will wake up the bugs in the tower if he shoots recklessly. Damn, if a person is unlucky, he will stuff his teeth when he drinks cold water, and the ladybugs in the nine-story demon tower are obviously alarmed by the gunshots, and countless blue fireballs like bright lights light up.
The entire underground space was reflected in the blue of the firelight, and the wooden tower was also ignited, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, hundreds of fireballs rushed towards us, such a big fire, but we didn't feel a trace of heat, but felt the cold and the teeth trembled.
Seeing that this was not good, the big man took out the two grenades inserted in his armed belt and was about to pull the string and throw them to explode those fireballs, I quickly pressed his hand: "Throw one, leave us a glorious bullet, I don't want that ghost fire to burn to death." "
Our wooden-handled grenade is the standard equipment of the infantry, the top is wrapped in iron sheets into a cylindrical shape, and the bottom is a wooden grip, after triggering, through the explosives inside to stimulate the iron sheet fragments to kill the enemy, the power is not very strong.
The big man left one grenade, and I took the other, and seeing that many fireballs were already rushing towards me, I pulled out the fuse and threw the grenade that was emitting white smoke.
The grenade exploded into a cloud of white smoke, and a dozen blue fireballs flying in front were hit by the exploding shrapnel and fell to the ground one after another to extinguish, but more fireballs swarmed from behind.
Luo Ning was in front, and the other three people were behind, using the semi-automatic rifles in their hands to fight while withdrawing, with more than 20 rounds of ammunition per person, and they were all shot in less than two minutes.
If you want to deal with the blue fireballs formed by those strange ladybugs, you can only shoot them with guns, and the slightest contact with them will cause you to burn. A rifle without bullets is not as good as a burning stick.
The big man threw away his rifle, pulled out the last grenade, and shouted at me: "Old Hu, it's time, is it neat?" "
Luo Ning and I supported Gawa, and the four of us formed a circle, wrapping the grenade in the big man's hand in the middle, and I stared at the grenade in front of me, as long as the big man pulled the string, it would be burned in a few seconds.
The final moment has finally arrived.
At this time, I don't have time to think too much, first, those fireballs are getting closer and closer, and secondly, because I am worried that thinking too much about life and death will make me weak. I've always wanted to be a super-level combat hero like Yang Gensi, but instead of dying on the battlefield, I came to the end of my life at the bottom of Kunlun Mountain for no apparent reason.
Luo Ning had already closed her eyes tightly and waited for death, but she suddenly thought of something, and suddenly stood up and grabbed us: "You hear the sound of this water flowing so loudly, this place is very close to the underground river, let's jump into the river quickly." "
Just now I only cared about shooting, and then I was about to commit suicide with a grenade, and I had already left the matter of the underground river behind, and I didn't hear the rumbling sound of the water in the chaos, and I heard Luo Ning say this, only to think that there was still a way to live, if we could jump into the river in advance, although those fireballs were powerful, we couldn't help it.
It was too late, but it was too soon, thousands of blue fireballs were already close at hand, and the four survivors were desperate for survival, desperately running towards the roar of the water.
Listening to the sound of the water, it was only a dozen meters away, we couldn't run a few steps, and after passing the end of the underground cavity, a large waterfall appeared in front of us, and there was a natural underground lake of considerable scale under the waterfall.
I didn't have time to take a closer look, my heart was hot, scratching my heart and scratching my liver, presumably the fireball had hit my back, as long as it was stained with a small spark, the flames would immediately engulf the whole body, this life and death juncture, where did I have time to think more, and jumped off the lake with a jump.
In the chaos, I saw that the big man and the other three people were also burned, and they jumped into the lake one after another screaming. I plunged into the water, and the blue flames on my body were immediately extinguished by the lake.
The water and fire did not melt, and the rest of the flying insects seemed to know the power of the lake, and only lingered two or three meters from the surface of the lake, not daring to rush down to attack.
I peeked out of the water and saw that the big man had also emerged, but there was no sign of Luo Ning and Gawa. I was worried that they didn't know the nature of the water and drowned in the lake, so I took a deep breath and prepared to dive into the water again to save them, when Luo Ning had already floated up from the lake with Gawa in his arms.
It turned out that Gawa had never swam in her life, and after jumping into the lake, she was choked by the water and fainted, Luo Ning just saw it, so she dived into the lake and rescued him, but fortunately, the drowning time was not long, Gawa coughed a few mouthfuls of water, and came to her senses again.
Tibetan customs prohibit bathing and swimming in the lake, and Gava nagged and chanted sutras, asking the Buddha for forgiveness.
The sky above the lake was lit up by the light of countless fireballs, and the four of them gathered together, although it was early spring, but
I feel that the groundwater is not cold, but I feel a slight warmth on my body, and it is a warm water lake formed by geothermal action.
The big man scolded: "Mom, the gun is gone, and it has sunk to the bottom of the lake." "
I reminded him, "We're out of bullets, it's useless to ask for guns, now let's find a way out." Keep your head down and watch out for the bugs coming down. "
The big man didn't believe that those fire-covered insects could rush into the lake, and he grinned widely, and soon his smile froze, and thousands of fireballs glowing blue were gradually gathering, forming a huge flame, and with a snort, he quickly burrowed back into the lake.
I took a breath and was about to go down, when I saw Gawa next to me and was stunned, he was naturally afraid of the lake, and he didn't dare to dive into the lake to hide, so I had to force his head into the water, and dragged his arm to swim deeper.
The large fireball has a diameter of several tens of meters, and as soon as it touches the surface of the lake, it stimulates water vapor to transpire. Although the fireball was large and the lake was wider, the suicide attacks of the ladybug death squads did not work, and they drowned in the water.
The bottom of the lake was originally dark, but it was reflected by the fire above, and it was barely possible to see the environment more than ten meters below the water. In the depths of the water, there are countless large fish swimming slowly, these fish are completely different from what I have seen before, the large fish has extremely long whiskers, resembling salmon, and the eyes have degenerated due to living in a dark environment, and only two white spots remain.
I was startled by the strange appearance of these big fish, ate a few mouthfuls of water, and then saw that Gawa was also kicking his hands and feet, and couldn't hold his breath anymore, and wanted to struggle to swim up to breathe, but the bottom of the lake suddenly darkened, and I estimated that those insects were almost dead, and I pulled Gawa to swim up to the lake.
There was a layer of ladybug corpses floating on the surface of the lake, there was no fire, there was a dark patch everywhere, and I shouted to the big man, "Big man, do you still have a flashlight?" "
The big man replied, "It's all gone, there's nothing left, so let's go in the dark this time." "
Suddenly, Luo Ning also came out of the lake, wiped the water on her face with her hand, and held a military flashlight in her other hand: "The last two I brought with me have been in my pocket and didn't fall into the bottom of the lake." "
Everyone dragged each other and climbed ashore, they all felt tired and hungry, and they no longer had the energy to act, and they had not eaten for more than ten hours, let alone flesh and blood, even if they were really beaten with iron, I am afraid that they would not be able to hold on.
The big man jumped into the lake again and came back with a bayonet, scraped the scales and cut them into several slices, I tasted it first, the taste of the raw fish meat was OK, not too fishy, but slightly bitter, and I felt very fragrant after chewing a few more bites. Only Gava said that she would not eat anything.
The three of them devoured a big fish raw, and felt that there was still a little unfinished, so the big man swam into the lake to touch the fish, Luo Ning checked the wound on Gawa's foot, and I took a turn around the lake to see if there was any place to go out. The water flow of the waterfall is so large that there should be a place for this lake to diverge.
The drop of the waterfall is tens of meters, according to Luo Ning's estimate, the water system in front of us should be an underground tributary of the Brahmaputra River, and there may be volcanoes deep underground, so the lake will be warm.
I took Luo Ning's flashlight and found a gap in the underground lake, and the water flowed down this gap, this waterway was a cave seven or eight meters high, and the bottom was completely flooded, and there was no way to go, and if I wanted to move forward, I had to swim out of the water.
I went back to Luo Ning and told her what I had seen, Luo Ning's map and compass were lost, and I could only guess intuitively. She has been engaged in surveying and mapping for many years and has rich experience, she estimates that our location is not far from the unfrozen spring, which does not freeze even in the harsh winter, indicating that there is lava underground, the question is where to return to the surface, and it is not a way to walk around underground all the time, and now the feasible solution is only to go along the river, because only where there is a river channel will not be a dead end.
The big man also came back dejected, he didn't catch a fish this time. We didn't want to stop any longer, so the three water-based people put Gawa in the middle and swam in the direction of the water towards the far part of the cave.
Although the surface of this underground river is not wide, the undercurrent below is very powerful, and by the impact of the current, it is not effortless to half-float and half-swim, but the water temperature is much higher than just now, and the smell of sulfur in the nose is all the smell of sulfur, and in the water, I still feel that my mouth is dry.
The big man was a little anxious, and complained while swimming: "We may have made the mistake of left-leaning blind activism this time, why did we swim for so long and still not get to the end?" The water in this place is so fast that there is not even a place to stand and breathe. It's better to turn back and swim back. "
I criticized the big man and said, "What did you do earlier?" After swimming so far away, I asked how long the red flag could be fought, and did I have doubts about whether our revolution would be able to achieve a final victory? As soon as you took the first step of the Long March, you began to waver? You grit your teeth and hold on. "
The big man quibbled, "How can you say that?" Didn't I want to reserve some strength for the revolution? According to your blindness, who is responsible for the losses caused to the revolution? "
Halfway through our words, Luo Ning exclaimed, "Do you see if there are any animals behind you?" It seems to be ... Monster. "
I also heard an abnormal noise in the water behind me, and when I turned around and shone with a flashlight, the water splashed and rolled, and a huge black shadow quickly approached from the water, and the scope of the flashlight was not enough, so I couldn't see what it was, but the one who came was not good, and the good one did not come, so we all pulled out the thorn and concentrated on preparing for war.
The force of the undercurrent and undercurrent under the surface of the river became stronger and stronger, and it was impossible to stop, and the body was involuntarily swept forward by the river, and the huge monster behind followed like a shadow.
Most of the monster's body is in the water, rolling up waves of splashes, the cave in the river is too dark, only the sound of it is not visible, judging from the sound, it is seven or eight meters long.
In the last section of the dark river, the current was even more rapid, and the four of us, fearing that we would be washed away, hugged each other tightly and turned in the middle of the river and fell into a hole.
Below was a very large underground river, the water in which the water was very hot, and there were countless tributaries like the one we had just passed through gushing out of the mountain wall, like large faucets, and flowing into the main channel below. There are still many raised stone holes on both sides, and white high-temperature gas is constantly emitting, and there are some dark red flame slurry in some stone crevices, it seems that this is probably the underground volcanic belt that Luo Ning said.
The river was so hot that we struggled desperately to climb up a huge rock by the river, and found that even the rock was warm, and because there was a lava fire nearby to illuminate it, I turned off the flashlight to save a little precious battery, and I asked them, "Have you seen clearly?" What exactly was it in the back of it? It's a big size. "
The big man and Luo Ning didn't see it clearly, and shook their heads at the same time, Ga Wa was the worst, he drank a stomach of river water, his belly was round, he spoke with one mouth, and spit out several mouthfuls of water before he could make a sound, he rubbed his stomach and said, "Oh, see that Ga bear, follow behind them, and fall into the middle of the river." "
Just in case, the big man held the military thorn and stood up to check the situation in the nearby river: "What water monster?" Nothing. After saying that, he turned around and was about to come back, when suddenly a large blood-red tongue stretched out from the river, more than two meters long, and in one roll it wrapped around the big man's legs, and threw him to the ground and pulled him into the river.
Thanks to Gava's quick eyes, she stabbed the big tongue with her bayonet, and the monster's tongue hurt, and the big man let go, stared at two strange eyes like red lights, and crawled out of the river.
It looked exactly like the salamander it had been shot and killed by the big man, with a frog-like head and a skinless crocodile. It's just that this salamander is too big and too big, it is more than ten meters long, its body is shining with colorful scales, and its big tail is flicking, and it looks at everyone with great ferocity.
I hurriedly asked Luo Ning: "Luo Gong, are you sure it doesn't hurt people?" Why is this one so big? "
Luo Ning's face turned pale, and he trembled and said, "I... I mean the last one... This... It's just ... Overlord salamander, very aggressive... ... during the Ice Age It's already extinct, and I can't think of it here. "
No one would have thought that in this special environment of isolation, there would be fierce beasts that had been extinct since ancient times.
Underground creatures such as salamanders are cold-blooded animals, and the excessive geothermal heat makes the overlord salamander in front of us extremely violent, and Gawa stabbed it in the tongue, and the smell of blood in its mouth made it strongly aggressive, not to mention, the salamander we shot and killed, I don't know if it is its descendant relatives, in short, this beam is knotted, and the two sides have to fight a fish to die in this net.
I made a look, the big man and Gava understood, and they outflanked the two sides of the overlord salamander, and the three-person battle team formed a flanking attack.
The overlord salamander screamed, and danced its claws to the three people, and before we could do it, it swept it with a huge tail, and put the Ga baby on the ground, rolled up the Ga Wa, and opened its bloody mouth to bite, the salamander's mouth originally had no teeth, but this overlord salamander's huge mouth has three rows of sharp teeth up and down, if it lets it bite, where can there be life.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, the big man and I pounced on it, and the two of us joined forces to break the big mouth of the overlord salamander, and we couldn't let it bite down in any case, otherwise Gava's head would be gone.
Gava became extremely brave, although the tail of the overlord salamander was caught up in the waist down, but the hand did not stop, and seeing that this monster had rough skin and thick flesh, and was not afraid of water and fire, he had to poke it in the mouth with a bayonet.
The overlord salamander was injured in the mouth, shocked and angry, and used his strange strength to fight his body, throwing the three people on his body to the ground. This guy was so powerful that I was thrown on a rock by it, and I was so angry that Venus was in a hurry before me, and the big man fell into the river, but immediately climbed back to the shore, and was covered in white steam, and was scalded by the river.
Trying to fight this huge overlord salamander with only three bayonets is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and the four of them shouted and left together, with the overlord salamander in hot pursuit.
The ground is full of volcanic rock and ash, and it is soft and slippery to step on, making it difficult to run. In order to get rid of the big monster behind us, we stepped on the volcanic rocks on the side of the river valley and climbed towards the steep point, climbing higher and higher with our hands and feet. I was halfway up the climb when I heard the big man yelling at me to be careful. I looked down and saw that the overlord salamander was swimming on the mountain wall like a big lizard, trailing me, less than three meters away from me, and its long tongue was almost licking my ass. I wanted to jump in and escape, but I climbed too high to be sure that I could jump into the river, and if I made a slight mistake, I would fall on the rocks, so I cursed, and drew my bayonet with one free hand, ready to fight the trapped beast, even if I died, I would pull this monster on my back.
The other three people also saw that the overlord salamander was about to catch up with me, but the slope of the mountain wall was too steep for it to come over in time to help, so they all gritted their teeth and stared, but they were helpless.
Luo Ning suddenly thought of something, and leaned on the stone wall and shouted at me: "Comrade Xiaohu, glorious bullet!" "
The rest of the people thought at the same time, yes, we still have one grenade left, which has not been used, and it is now in the big one
Some soldiers stationed in Qinghai Lake often use grenades to blow up fish in the lake, and although everyone fell into the water just now, the grenades should not be damp. Thanks to Luo Ning's reminder.
The big man took out a grenade: "Old Hu, catch it." "Threw it at me diagonally.
I hurriedly held the bayonet horizontally in my mouth, copied it with my right hand, caught the grenade, pushed off the safety cover with my thumb, threw away the bayonet with my mouth open, bit the pull ring, and the fuse of the grenade was ignited, and white smoke came out.
I looked down at the big mouth of the overlord salamander, and threw the grenade into it, where did the overlord salamander know what the grenade was, and flew over in the dark, according to its usual habit of hunting, it swallowed it with a long tongue, and with a muffled sound, the grenade exploded in its mouth, although the skin on the body of the overlord salamander was hard, but the skin and flesh in the mouth were very soft, and this time it blew its head from the inside out, fell to the bottom of the stone wall, and the huge body twisted a few times, and died on the rocks by the river with a white belly.
I let out a long breath, my whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and I didn't feel scared just now, but at this time, my hands and feet were weak, and I felt dizzy when I looked down.
Suddenly, the mountain wall shook violently, the water of the underground river swelled, and the air was full of the smell of Liusu, and waves of heat rushed up from belows – it was the roar of the underground river and our hope of survival.
