Following their gaze, I finally noticed a dark entrance at the bottom of the patio. The entrance was only half a person tall, and it was almost impossible to find it in the thick smoke. After squatting down, I re-tied the door for them.
When the diaper was soaked, the short hole fell into my eyes
I lowered my head and got into the hole, and bumped my head unconsciously. I forgot about the pain, and my eyes quickly adapted to the darkness inside. This was a long, narrow and low half-man cave, with many people leaning there motionless.
The sound of my footsteps leaning into the hole only made a few people move slightly, and the others didn't even move their heads.
"Tian Wang! Tian Wang!"
My shout was not loud, but it echoed in the cave, "I am Tian Zong"
"General Tian!" Someone sitting not far away responded in a low voice, his voice full of surprise, and then there were waves of hollow coughs.
People started to move feebly, and soon someone shouted into the cave, "Wang, General Tian is here!"
"General Tian is here!"
"General Tian!"
The half-man-high hole blocked more than half of the smoke, but some of it was still rolled in. King Tian whispered inside, "Tian Zong, come here."
As I walked in, I said to everyone, "The dry cloth covering your nose and mouth now is of no use. Tell me, everyone should take off the cloth immediately, soak it with your own urine and then cover it again."
superior"
As I said that, I had already arrived inside. Several people were surrounding a man. He was lying on the stone ground, and a sergeant was sitting there, his arms acting as his pillow. "Tian Wang," I said to him. Many days later,
I finally saw Tian Wang again. He raised his right hand and hooked his hand at me. I sat next to him.
I smelled the smell of rotting meat, which came from Tian Wang's body. I couldn't help but carefully identify his body, "Tian Wang, are you injured?"
People did what I said, but only a few people could squeeze out urine. They have been trapped here these days, with no water or rice, and no urine.
I found that one of Tian Wang's right legs was wrapped in someone's clothes and torn into strips. It was soaked with purple and black blood. His leg was seriously injured. I said to Tian Wang, "We are coming from below."
I’m here to help you out.”
First of all, I have to report the discovery of King Tian to the three generals below to make them happy. I leaned down and came out of the cave and shouted to the people below, "Huang Yan, King Tian has been found. Go and report to the three generals."
There was an immediate response from below, "Really? That's great!, That's great! General Ji——, General Meng——," Huang Yan ran down
Looking at this place from the beginning, I really don’t know how Tian Wang and so many people got in. There are only two ways out, one is to climb out from the patio, and the other is to go down from the place where I came up. Both of them are not so easy.
People are optimistic
I used the Fish Gut Sword to resume my work as a stonemason. I took advantage of the gap where the smoke rose again to pull out a stone ring from the top of the stone wall I came up from. This work cost me nearly half a month.
Then, I tied the rope firmly in the stone ring and threw the other end down. General Meng and General Su were the first to climb up with the rope, and General Ji was still commanding the enemy's warning below.
General Meng's loud voice shouted as soon as he came up, "Tian Wang, my Tian Wang, where are you? No wonder I haven't heard from you for so long. It turns out that Tian'er is hiding here!" They saw Tian Wang's
Injury, please discuss with me immediately what to do
"I think there is still some room in this cave, and with the thirty or so people below us, it shouldn't be a problem."
"Do you mean to climb up from here?" General Su asked
"That's what it means. We don't know how many enemy troops there are down there. Now King Tian is so seriously injured that we can't possibly take him and charge into the formation."
"Well, but we can't lose the defense line below. At least until we get out safely, we still need someone to guard it." I agree with General Meng's words. "Before we go out, we must first solve the problem of everyone peeing." What I mean
They all understand that this question is easy to talk about. There is a lot of lake water at the bottom. As long as it is brought up, everyone will have urine soon.
As long as we don't continue to be harmed by poisonous gas, I believe people will slowly get better. I gave myself the task of getting water.
I left the two generals to accompany King Tian, and I went down again and asked people to take off the arrow pot from my body, fill it with water by the lake, and hang it on the rope. The people above pulled it up, and the problem was solved.
I have always kept that thing in mind, the relationship between smoke and water. I now understand this rule clearly. When the water is Lei, there is almost no smoke, but when the water is small, thick smoke billows out.
I decided to investigate and uncover the secrets here. The person who followed me bravely this time was Huang Yan again. He patted his chest and said, "Brother, I will go with you!"
General Ji and the others stayed there without leaving for a day and a night. The enemy's offensive slowed down a bit. I guessed their thoughts. As long as they didn't let us out, they didn't seem to be in a hurry. They just stayed there and occasionally came in.
People, harass us all at once. If you can take advantage, take advantage. If you can't, just run away.
General Ji said to me, "I once took advantage of the darkness to go out to explore their true identity."
"How about it?"
"It's incredible, all the troops from the Wanla Kingdom have arrived. They are not just a few hundred as we imagined." He said that the enemy had brought all the gang leaders and had buried pots and made rice outside the cave. It seemed that they planned to
Stay here for a long time
They have food and drink, but we can only drink cold water. This is so unfair. One day, this account will have to be settled from scratch.
After coming out of General Ji, Huang Yan and I started our operation
We followed the water channel on the lake shore and walked in bit by bit. I already had a rough idea of the geological features here.
This is the blind valley
A blind valley is a dead-end valley karst development area developed in karst areas. When a river encounters a sinkhole and turns underground, a steep ridge is often formed because the front end of the valley has not been eroded by water flow.
This kind of valley with no passage on the surface is called a blind valley. It is a seemingly headless and tailless valley in a karst area. There are actually undercurrents flowing in and out of the head and tail. I can almost conclude that there must be intermittent flow in the upper reaches of the lake.
water injection
Over a period of time, due to the injection of water, the water level of the lake slowly rises. When it reaches the height of the lake bank channel, the lake water will overflow from the channel.
Each of us put on a diaper with plenty of water and groped along the canal towards the origin of the smoke. We agreed that if anyone felt that he couldn't hold on and wanted to speak immediately, we couldn't leave ourselves in it.
Huang Yan and I entered the cave one after another. When we came in, the sound of water on the lake was ringing, so it was not crazy at this time. But the further we walked in, the higher the temperature in the cave became. Being in the open air, we have adapted to the temperature here.
I don’t think it’s a problem with the high temperature. It’s just that since we entered the cave, we all got used to the coolness in the cave. When we first entered here, we felt uncomfortable again.
It's stuffy and hot here, it almost makes me breathless. I don't know what kind of monster is inside.
We have always placed the snake pill next to the painting, otherwise it would be an excellent lighting thing. Now, the two of us are walking in complete darkness, we can only call back and forth, and walk slowly inside
"Huang Yan, be careful, don't rush in. If it doesn't work, just get out."
"If I take two more steps, I can still hold on!"
"How long have we been in here?"
"Half an hour" he said in the dark
"No, Huang Yan! Water is coming in." The soles of my feet became slippery, soaking my cloth shoes.
"So what? It's not cooler!" he said, still walking deeper into the cave.
But I noticed something ominous
Goosebumps suddenly appeared all over my body, and the heat all over my body seemed to fly away from my body. I said to him, "Listen to me and return immediately! If you don't go back, we will be put down here!" The tone was unacceptable!
To refute, I didn’t give him a chance to refute, so I turned around and walked out.
This time Huang persisted and listened to me at the critical moment. This was something he experienced from several emergencies. He immediately turned around and followed me, his tone of voice changed slightly, "What's going on? I can still persist.
"
"This is not the focus of our operation," I said. "We can't get out from here at all."
I didn't have time to tell him, because after exploring all the way, I had already felt that the geothermal heating rate here is extremely high. Under normal circumstances, for every 100 meters of descent, the underground temperature will rise by about three degrees. This is normal.
law
However, the temperature rise in this cave was so fast. We only walked diagonally downward for half an hour. The two of us were already sweating profusely. We were in the geothermal anomaly area where the geothermal heating rate increased significantly. We were like this
It’s better to stay away from the mortal body
There are many hypotheses for the source of geothermal heat. It is mainly believed that it is generated by the metamorphosis of radioactive elements underground, or that the mantle heat flow spreads through the bedrock.
The second is the transformation of the earth's rotational energy, gravity differentiation, chemical reactions and crystallization heat. In addition, in volcanic active areas, the ground temperature is higher, and the heat source mainly comes from the magma related to volcanoes and hot spring activities.
I know that any one of the above is an absolute reason for us to leave quickly. We ran out in large strides. As soon as we came out, a puff of air hit both of our butts and rushed out.
It was so hot that we instinctively lay down on the ground and observed it carefully.
At first, there was white water vapor, carrying a scorching heat. Huang Yan stuck out his tongue and said, "Damn it, if you were a step too late, it would be steamed into meat buns!"
Then it changes from white to yellow, and the temperature gradually drops, but that is the really scary poisonous gas.
I stood up, took off my clothes three times, except for the diaper on my mouth, leaving only my pants, and then waded into the lake.
The place where Tian Wang and the others lived was no longer visible. It was covered by the thick smoke and nothing could be seen.
Huang Yan was puzzled and asked behind him, "Brother, what are you doing? Do you want me to get in the water too?" I didn't answer, so he got down too.
