Cao Zhi was about to congratulate Li Hei for opening up another side of the city foundation, but Li Hei stopped his movements in confusion, slowly approached the wall with black soil exposed, stretched out his hand and groped on it. After groping for a while, he felt again.
He put his fingers stained with black mud into his mouth, as if he was tasting the taste of the soil. But he shook his head again, expressing doubts.
Cao Zhi looked at Li Hei's expression, turned around, squatted and climbed a few steps, returned to Li Hei, and asked: "What's wrong?"
Li Hei continued to touch, looked at the exposed black mud, shook his head and said: "The color of this mud is wrong!"
"Ah?" Cao Zhi also looked at the earth wall from side to side and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong? Isn't it that the soil in other places is darker than the soil in other places?"
Li Hei threw away the hammer in his hand, picked up the short shovel stuck to the side, and replied: "Logically, this kind of dark-colored soil should not appear here, and there shouldn't be so much of it. Maybe I am overthinking it."
, I'll dig it out first and take a look."
As he spoke, Li Bai went up with a few shovels of "hey hoo, hoo". What he dug up was dark-colored soil, and the color became darker as he went deeper.
At this time, Cao Zhidao said: "This soil is no different from ordinary soil. Why do you say it shouldn't appear here?"
Li Hei was still digging and said: "In this area, the dark-colored soil is usually caused by long-term water deposition. We have dug it in several previous sections, but in such a large area,
There are very few of them. Why is there such a large area here? It doesn’t taste like lake water. Hehe, let’s talk about the river from Shouchun City! quot;
Li Hei kept digging as he talked. He dug this kind of ordinary soil very quickly, and soon he dug into a concave surface two to three meters deep in the black soil wall.
Suddenly, Li Hei froze his movements and looked at the point on the concave surface in horror.
Cao Zhi also just gained some knowledge. It turns out that there are so many things to pay attention to in soil. It is true that every profession has its own secrets.
At this moment, Cao Zhi was using his hands to pull the gravel and rock soil next to the exposed dark soil, trying to see if there was still dark soil around. Suddenly he saw Li Hei was stunned, and stood up curiously.
, looking in the direction Li Hei was paying attention to, he saw a point in the concave surface of the black soil dripping with water seeping out.
"Hey! Why is this dripping?"
After Cao Zhi said this, something bad suddenly flashed through his mind. Almost at the same time, Cao Zhi and Li Hei opened their eyes and looked at each other, shouting: "Water!"
The two turned around almost at the same time and screamed: "Run!"
But before the two of them ran into the zigzag hole, they heard a muffled sound behind them.
"Crack!" The small droplets of water instantly turned into showerheads behind them, and countless water swords shot out.
When people are panicking, they often have to look back. It would be better not to look, but they will make them even more panicked.
Cao Zhi and Li Hei, who could only crouch, walk or crawl, looked behind them while crawling. When they saw the water sword shooting out, they hurriedly tried to stand up and run.
But they forgot, is this a place where they can stand up?
"Bang, bang" sounded twice. Cao Zhi and Li Hei, who wanted to quickly evacuate the dangerous place, jumped up too hard and were directly bounced back by the rocks and soil on top.
The collision not only caused pain in the backs of the two people, but also caused them to smash into the mud. The two people immediately looked like "gray heads".
The second after Cao Zhi and Li Hei were knocked down, there was a "Coax!" sound, and the earth wall behind them was pushed down by some unknown force, and the water sword immediately turned into a waterfall and flew out.
As soon as Cao Zhi and Li Heigang got up in disgrace, they were immediately knocked out by the first wave of the waterfall. As soon as the water mixed with the mud, their clothes were soaked, and they immediately became "mud wrestlers" again.
Just as Cao Zhi and Li Hei struggled to get up and crawl towards the entrance of the cave, a cry came from the other end of the zigzag passage: "Lord, what's wrong?"
"General Li, what happened?"
"Water!"
"Why is there so much water? Lord, let me save you!"
Cao Zhi heard clearly that the last sentence was called by Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang had just climbed to the end of the zigzag passage when he heard a strange noise in the cave. So, he hurriedly called on a few soldiers to turn around and check. As soon as he approached the zigzag passage, he found water flowing out.
Everyone realized something when they saw the water. While Zhou Cang and others were desperately marching towards the cave, Cao Zhi and Li Hei finally climbed up to the entrance of the zigzag passage.
Li Hei pushed Cao Zhi into the cave first. Just as he was about to climb in, he suddenly thought of something. He immediately turned around and picked up the shovel that fell on the ground. Withstanding the impact of the water flow, he half-crouched at the zigzag entrance and dug.
Raise the soil.
Cao Zhi took two steps, looked back, was shocked, and shouted: "Li Hei, what are you doing? Let's go!"
Li Hei ignored Cao Zhi's call and shoveled the earth and rocks at the entrance frantically with his head covered.
"Are you out of your mind?" Cao Zhi cursed and took a few steps back, trying to pull Li Hei away.
Li Hei broke free from Cao Zhi's pull and yelled: "Master, leave quickly, I will block this entrance, otherwise all the brothers in the cave will die!"
"Fart!" Cao Zhi refused and insisted on grabbing Li Hei's muddy sleeve, "As long as we run fast, we can all escape!"
"What should we do with this tunnel? All the hard work of the brothers for so many days has been in vain. How can we go into the city to find people?"
After Li Hei screamed as hard as he could, he pushed Cao Zhi and started to dig more earth and rocks to fill up the entrance of the passage.
Cao Zhi basically understood what Li Hei meant. He didn't want his many days of hard work to go to waste. He wanted to block this passage and then dig into Shouchun from other places. Otherwise, if a large amount of water flows into the tunnel behind, it will be destroyed.
The entire tunnel.
The idea is correct, but is Cao Zhizhi sitting back and watching his subordinates risk their lives? Besides, it seems that Li Hei dug up a certain river in Shouchun City, and the water that poured in next was not as heavy as a burst of the embankment.
Can Li Hei alone with this little bit of mud and rocks be able to stop the blockage?
Cao Zhi was pushed by Li Hei and staggered, almost slipping again. He held on to the cave wall, stepped forward instead of retreating, and stepped back into the cave, preparing to drag Li Hei away by force.
At this time, in the zigzag passage behind Cao Zhi, the shouts of Zhou Cang and others were getting closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.
At this time, the water flow in the gap that was opened became faster and faster, hitting Li Hei and Cao Zhi painfully. The water level in the cave also rose rapidly, and now it has reached the waist.
The entrance to the passage had been excavated by Li Hei just now, and less than half of it was filled in. The water temporarily stopped flowing into the zigzag tunnel. But this also caused the water level in the cave to rise rapidly.
After Cao Zhi re-entered the cave, he and Li Hei pulled each other, trying to influence each other's behavior, and it even developed into a fight. Of course, most of the fighting was done by Cao Zhi and Li Hei was blocking, but under the impact of the water,
The two of them couldn't even stand firmly. They struggled and fell several times.
