Chapter 346(1/2)
Are you dead?
Lu Yang felt panic. Just as he was about to swim back, he suddenly heard some water sounds faintly from the lower part...
If water flows muffled, there will be no such sound of water. This sound of water means that there is a drop below. Water gushing out of a hole and falling on the water surface of another place can make such a sound.
The question is, where will it be?
This mine cave is already very deep. Going down, wouldn’t it go into the mantle?
After thinking about this, Lu Yang slid down a long distance again, and the waterways in this section became tighter, causing the water flow to become faster. It was more difficult for Lu Yang to swim back.
Take a gamble and continue downstream?
It's not considered a gamble, because there is no possibility of swimming back.
Moreover, even if you swim back, those two monsters guarding you, you can only stay in the pool, and you will eventually be frozen to death.
With a nervous mood, Lu Yang let the water flow carry him down and continue to move down...
He held his breath for too long, which made him feel more and more uncomfortable. Now it was at least six minutes before he went into the water for the last time, which had exceeded his previous limit.
For ordinary people, it will be uncomfortable to hold their breath for more than one minute. The longest record of human beings holding their breath in water has only reached 11 minutes and 35 seconds. Lu Yang has not conducted special training in this area. Six or seven minutes is basically his limit.
It is still possible to persist now, but it is related to the very cold groundwater. Cold water causes the external blood vessels of Lu Yang to contract, and blood flows from the end of his limbs to his heart and brain. This way, his heart rate will be greatly slowed down, reducing the chance of oxygen spreading throughout the body.
The human brain will automatically monitor the carbon dioxide content in the blood and determine when to trigger the respiratory reflex. Rapid and deep breathing can expel carbon dioxide from the body, and then extend the breathing time as much as possible before reaching the limit of the body. Lu Yang breathed rapidly and deeply continuously before going into the water, and his large lung capacity was also one of the reasons why he could persist for so long.
However, he was getting closer and closer to the limit of the human body. After his brain felt that the carbon dioxide content in his blood had far exceeded the normal value, he kept triggering the respiratory reflex. However, there was no air around his body at all, only water. The result of this respiratory reflex would cause Lu Yang to drink a lot of groundwater and choke into a lot of groundwater in his lungs, and eventually suffocate to death in the groundwater flow.
Lu Yang felt more and more uncomfortable, his body couldn't help but start to twitch, and his mind became a little dazed. At a certain moment, he found something floating not far in front of him, so he subconsciously shone it with the flashlight above his head.
The water flowed very fast, and Lu Yang quickly had an intimate contact with the thing...
It's actually a head!
A swollen head with long hair...
A thin iron chain was strung from the eye socket. The other end of the thin iron chain was penetrated from the back of the head and welded to an iron block. The iron block fell to the bottom of the water. Although it was very heavy, it was still hit by the water flow bit by bit and slowly moved downward...
The head was so swollen that Lu Yang could not tell who this person was, but her long hair proved that she was a woman.
The devotion last night was without a head, and it seemed to have given Lu Yang a reminder that there was a head in the pool.
And what I see now confirms that this is the place where the body is thrown.
Could it be that Hu Yulan was thrown away here?
The problem is that Lu Yang has reached his limit of breathing now, and he can no longer suppress his breathing center.
However, the result of his brain breathing independently was that he choked on the water that had been in his lungs and drank a lot of water.
This not only did not solve his breathing problem, but made him even more uncomfortable.
After Lu Yang's body twitched violently in the water, and after choking a lot of water, Lu Yang's mind became completely blurred.
Are you going to die?
Are you dying here?
Lu Yang finally fainted.
When he woke up again, Lu Yang coughed violently, as if he was about to cough out his lungs. His trachea was very uncomfortable, even painful, and his stomach was also very uncomfortable. After vomiting a lot of water, he almost vomited out his stomach.
After opening his eyes, Lu Yang found that the waterproof flashlight on his head was still on, which allowed him to see everything in front of him clearly...
There was the sound of water everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong smell of rotten smell.
Lu Yang felt something around him. He subconsciously looked at the side, but found a swollen face and pale eyes looking at him...
Lu Yang quickly sat up and then realized that he was actually sitting next to a pile of corpses!
There was a big hole behind me, and the water seemed to flow down from above, rushing a large number of corpses here. Because the terrain here is very flat and open, the originally deep and turbulent water flowed here and became very slow and shallow. Lu Yang was probably washed here after he was stunned.
The bodies piled up here were wearing miners' uniforms, which made Lu Yang recognize them at a glance that they should be miners here. After the death of a mine accident, they were somehow discarded here.
No? This mine should have been shut down for a long time, right? Why haven’t these corpses completely decayed?
Forget it, the things in the strange realm and the old scenes can be realistic. Who knows if I have traveled through time and space lines now?
After Lu Yang came to a stone next to him, he sat down and sorted out his thoughts a little.
It seems that the groundwater did not directly reach the ground, and there is such a buffer zone in the middle, so he was not drowned, but after fainting, he rushed into the buffer zone and came alive again.
These miners may have fallen into the pool water after their deaths, or were directly abandoned in the pool water, and then drifted here.
Speaking of which, this is indeed a good place to hide corpses, because no one can come here except for Lu Yang who "dead" in a confused manner.
By the way, before fainting, Lu Yang remembered that he saw a woman's swollen head, wearing an iron chain, hanging on an iron block, throwing it into the pool water.
Regardless of whether these miners were murdered or not, the woman must have been murdered, otherwise the murderer would not have put on iron chains on his head and tied them with iron blocks and sank into the pool of water.
Unfortunately, his head was so swollen. In addition, Lu Yang was vague at the time, so he didn't see who she was.
The biggest possibility is Hu Yulan?
Now all the clues seem to be broken again.
Forget it, my head was a little dizzy. I didn’t think about it for the time being. I took advantage of the flashlight and saw if there was a way out here.
After searching around, Lu Yang really found a waterless cave, which did not seem to be artificially dug, but rather like a naturally formed cave.
Anyway, there is no other way to go, so just explore this cave to see if you can get out of here.
This cave is indeed naturally formed. According to Lu Yang's research on the limestone quality on the cave wall and the streamlined smooth wall surface above, Lu Yang concluded that the entire cave should have been soaked in water in the past and belonged to one of the underground water channels.
I was lucky. The groundwater had dried up a lot during this period, so this large shallow and a cave for walking were left behind. Otherwise, Lu Yang would have been suffocated to death in the groundwater.
The underground cave was turning around, and Lu Yang kept walking forward with his head down. For more than half an hour, he encountered many forks and even walked into some dead ends and another way to the groundwater. However, he finally found a main road, extending forward all the way upward, giving Lu Yang hope of survival.
Just as Lu Yang was extremely tired and wanted to find a raised place to sit down and rest for a while, a panic sound of footsteps came not far away.
"Who!" Lu Yang shouted.
The sound stopped, and I must have heard Lu Yang's shouting.
Lu Yang couldn't help but feel very surprised. He ran to such an extremely secret place where birds can't poop... He could still meet people when even birds can't get in?
It can't be a human, it can be a ghost.
It's a ghost, Lu Yang is not afraid...
Could it be that kind of four-legged mine monster?
When Lu Yang thought of the mine monster, he couldn't help but feel cold on his back...
No, that kind of four-legged mine monster has no sound when walking.
So, what exactly is this similar to the sound of human footsteps?
"Who are you? What are you here to do!?" Lu Yang asked loudly again. At this time, you should not be afraid, you should make the other party afraid.
"Yang Yang?" A trembling female voice came over.
"Yinyin!?" Lu Yang was about to go over and investigate, but suddenly stopped again.
How could it be Lin Yin? It was the strange world who arranged it to mihuo himself?
"Yangyang!" Lin Yin on the other side didn't have so much scruples and ran towards him directly.
When Lu Yang saw that she was wearing black clothes, she was very different from her clothes during the day.
But it was Lin Yin.
Is it Lin Yin? Lu Yang also feels that Lin Yin seems a little different...
Which place is different?
I can't explain it clearly in detail.
"Yangyang!" After Lin Yin confirmed that it was Lu Yang, her mouth sagged and rushed towards him.
"Why are you here?" Lu Yang asked Lin Yin.
In fact... Just like when he first came to Hongsang Town, he was surprised why Lin Yin was on the Sangqiao River, and later he was surprised that Yiya was also here. Now when he saw Lin Yin here, although he asked her, he soon had his own thoughts in his heart.
It's made from the weird realm!
"I don't know..." Lin Yin shook her head at Lu Yang in a daze, her expression seemed a little dazed.
"Did you find yourself here after you wake up?" Lu Yang tried to ask Lin Yin.
"I haven't slept... Sister Xueqin and I had dinner and were sitting together talking. Suddenly everything around me changed, and then I found myself in this hole... I didn't know where this place was. I was frightened. I just walked a few steps to the side and heard your voice, but I didn't dare to confirm. Later, when you called again, I confirmed that it was you..."
"You are talking? Did you just fall here?" Lu Yang confirmed to Lin Yin.
Yin nodded, then looked at Lu Yang with some sleepiness: "What is this place? Why are you here?"
"I came down from Mine No. 13 and was washed here by water..." Lu Yang explained to Lin Yin briefly, but he didn't say it too much. It would make no sense to say it to her too much.
Who knows if she is the real Lin Yin?
After calming Lin Yin's emotions, Lu Yang did not delve into why she suddenly appeared here and why she was wearing black clothes.
Lu Yang led Lin Yin to continue walking forward. Of course, there was no way out to retreat, so he could only continue to walk forward and explore the way.
To be continued...
