Chapter 109: Finding the Baby(1/2)
Monsoon is really stupid.
She never thought that the juice would betray her!
She was stunned for a moment, bent down in panic and groped, and finally touched a very heavy stone.
Juice was still shouting: "Linghu Mountain! Ji Feng has escaped!"
The exit of the tomb is about 80 meters away from the side rooms on both sides of the back room. The underground cave has a sound-silence effect, and Linghu Mountain and Baozhu were not awakened.
Ji Feng suddenly raised the stone in his hand and smashed it on Liu Jinger's head. She collapsed on the ground, and the night sky was exposed again. Liu Jinger did not faint, but his voice became weak: "Baozhu... grab her..."
Monsoon didn't care about the pain of the juice, so he bypassed her and rushed out quickly.
...
In this way, Monsoon escaped.
She and Liu Yueer once followed Linghu Mountain and Baozhu to this lake, probably remembering the road.
I was puzzled: "Why did Jinger harm you?"
Ji Feng shook his head: "I didn't understand it all the way back."
I said, "She may want you to be her companion."
Ji Feng smiled: "Don't defend her, it's definitely not that simple."
I said, "What do you think?"
Monsoon said: "I think about it, there is only one reason..."
I said, "What's the reason?"
Monsoon said: "She likes you."
I said, "She should like me very much, but what does it have to do with her stopping you?"
Ji Feng said: "Oh, girls all have a little care."
I thought about it and immediately understood what she meant. I said, "That's right, you have a scrupulous mind, otherwise you wouldn't guess like this."
Ji Feng said: "Forget it, don't mention these trivial matters, think about how to escape this disaster."
I said, "We set out at dawn to find the Sun Tomb, which is our only way out. We rushed all night, everyone was in the car, and if they showed up, we would knock them away."
Monsoon said: "On the salt-shelled ground, the speed is not much faster, and they will climb up."
I said, "Then I can only fight with each other..."
After stopping, I asked Ji Feng: "Have you ever seen Linghu Mountain drilling into the ground with your own eyes?"
Monsoon said: "No."
I said, "I have always been unable to figure it out. Even if their hands are metal and have motors, it is impossible to drill so quickly underground!"
Monsoon said: "I don't think this is the concept. When they are drilling into the ground, their bodies may have decomposed and become molecular states. They move forward quickly in the cracks of sand and soil. After they come out, they recombine into their bodies."
I said, "I get a headache when I hear this theory."
"I judged from their words that their defense is almost zero when they drill, and any damage may kill them. That form is only suitable for stealth and faster."
Suddenly, a snoring sound on the lake surface, and Ji Feng and I stopped to look. A black shadow appeared on the lake surface and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
I said, "Did you see it?"
Ji Feng said: "It's dark and I can't see clearly."
I said, "Child! It's a kid!"
"I think they are water monsters," said Monsoon.
I said, "Why?"
Monsoon said: "They are certainly not humans, otherwise they wouldn't breathe underwater? Maybe they just look like humans, but they are actually some kind of amphibious water monster."
I suddenly said, "Humanoids can not breathe."
Monsoon looked at me and said, "Do you think this lake is where humanoids are born?"
I shook my head and said, "They should not be the same as humanoids. Humanoids are closer to humans, and these children who are swimming around are more like some kind of... elves."
Monsoon said: "Elf...is this world a fairy tale?"
I said, "Do you think fairy tales come from human imagination?"
Monsoon said, "I don't understand what you mean."
I said, "The true nature of this world is beyond our expectations, but we have always lived in a reasonable way."
Ji Feng said: "Well, I'm most afraid of you talking about philosophy."
I said, "Scared?"
Monsoon said: "Because I can't understand."
I said, "Then I'll say something you can understand - I think these children don't seem to be hostile to us. Nur once appeared in our team, ate and lived with us, and then disappeared. Did he harm us?"
Ji Feng said: "He doesn't even make trouble."
I said, "So, I have always hoped to meet them again and see if I could communicate with them. Maybe just as Linghu Mountain said, those passages were built by these children, and only they can guide us out."
Monsoon said: "Where to find them? Wait by the lake?"
I looked at the lake and said, "It's been two days, they haven't appeared..."
After a moment of pause, I suddenly said, "I want to go down and find them."
Monsoon said: "You will be copied!"
I said, "I have a way."
Monsoon said: "What's the solution?"
I said, "I have a natural thing. I don't know if I have told you that. That was when Pawan was alive. He guided me to find it. It should come from outside the sky and is a substance that is not on the earth. I once gave it to Juye, and Juye was returned to me. It has a function - it cannot be copied..."
Monsoon said, "Did you give it to the juice?"
I said, "This is not the point, the point is, it won't be copied."
Monsoon said: "That's the point! Why do you give the juice?"
I looked at her and said, "When Juice died, I buried it as a burial."
Monsoon said: "You are so good with the juice..."
I said, "Since it cannot be copied, I hold it and dive, and I will not be copied."
Ji Feng said: "I finally understand why Jijue tried to stop me."
I said, "If I were copied, then another one would definitely hold a natural thing in my hand, which would be illogical."
Monsoon said: "Maybe I really shouldn't have come back..."
I grabbed her shoulder and shook it: "Let's not talk to yourself, okay? You're waiting by the lake, I'll go down now."
Monsoon returned to his assistant role and said, "This is all your wish, and the possibility is very small. We will leave tomorrow, so don't take this risk."
I said, "It is precisely because we are going to the Sun Tomb tomorrow that I have to take this risk."
Ji Feng thought for a while and said, "Then be careful."
Thanks to Dashan, I don’t know where they are now. He copied 28 gas cylinders for us.
I didn't want to disturb everyone, so I carefully brought a gas cylinder from the car, took off my clothes, and only had a pair of shorts left, then carried the gas cylinder on my body, and held a waterproof flashlight. I was about to get into the water.
Monsoon said: "Are you sure they are not in danger?"
I said, "If there is danger, I won't come out alive last time. Don't worry."
I slowly dived into the water, and it was pitch black all around me. When I shone the flashlight, I could see that the lake water was extremely clear, without a single aquatic grass or algae.
I was naked, and the deeper I dived, the deeper I was. The underwater world was too wide and too free. And I, like a naked baby, suddenly had a wish, and I didn't want to rise again, and I didn't want to return to the salt-shelled land full of death...
I dived more than ten meters deep, and suddenly something rubbed my arm, like a smooth fish. I turned around and saw three identical babies appear next to me!
Their swimming posture was very neat, like a ghost of a baby. They smiled at me together, as if laughing at me with a clumsy air cylinder on my back. Underwater, in the beam of the flashlight, their smiling faces were a little scary.
I suddenly realized that I could not communicate with them in the lake, so I could only gesture to them. I pointed to my mouth, pointed to their mouth, then pointed upward, and then I went upstream.
I looked down while rising, but they didn't follow.
I returned to them, pointed at my mouth again, and pointed at their mouths, then pointed upwards, and then moved upstream.
Looking down, they still didn't keep up.
I returned to them for the third time, and the three babies pointed at their mouths, and then pointed downwards, and then they swam towards the darker depths with a smile.
I was really scared and didn't follow them.
They grew deeper and soon disappeared.
I gave up and started to return to the lake.
A few minutes later, I came out of the lake with a "boom".
