Chapter 69 Underground Space
11 was also very uncomfortable. In this dark underground world, he could not see anything and could only move forward based on his feelings. Every time he had to use his body to block Ouyang Yue'er when he bumped into the rock. In order to suppress the bucket, 11's right hand had rubbed against the rock on the top wall.
11 is not Superman. He can't hold his breath for too long, but this section of the underground river actually reached the height of the rock on the top wall, making him unable to breathe.
Ouyang Yue'er's body began to tremble slightly. He knew that the air in the barrel was about to run out, and he was also a little anxious. However, he did not regret jumping down with Ouyang Yue'er because this was indeed the only way to live, and there was no other way to go. He knew the power of the desert marching ants. The courses for survival in the wild during training camp also focused on introducing such terrible creatures. Although they were very weak, they were extremely numerous, and they were overwhelmed every time they appeared, and they could not hide. And as long as they crawled onto you, in just a few minutes, you would be left with only a skeleton.
11 Finally, I knew why those villagers would die in the basement because they were driven in by desert marching ants. When a large number of desert marching ants crawled into their houses and they could not avoid them, they would rationally choose to escape to the end, and the only place they could escape in the end was the basement. Of course, not all villagers died in the basement, and some people must have died outside. However, as time went by, the skeletons that died outside had long been covered by sand and dust, and they could not be seen.
11 swam forward with his feet and swayed his breath while holding his breath, holding Ouyang Yue'er tightly. In such a place where he couldn't see his fingers, as long as they parted, they would never want to find each other again.
Ouyang Yue'er, who was originally tightly in her arms, suddenly became soft and frightened 11. He knew that the air in the bucket had been exhausted. If he didn't find a place to breathe quickly, they would both die.
11 It was originally calculated that the air in the bucket was enough to support Ouyang Yue'er and herself to breathe alternately for about half an hour, but something unexpected happened when they first fell into the water. The bucket was hit by the rock and immediately injected a lot of water, which also squeezed out a large amount of air. Ouyang Yue'er kept tilting her head and breathing hard, and the air that could breathe for half an hour in the bucket only turned into a few minutes.
11 After all, he was a person who had been strictly trained. Although he was frightened, he did not show panic. Only by calming down in a dangerous environment can he find a way to save his life. Once he panics, he will die faster. 11 undoubtedly did a good job of this. He did not panic, but swam forward more vigorously.
Suddenly, a whirring sound came from his ears, which was the echo of the collision between the water and the rocks. If there was an echo, there must be room. 11 hurriedly poked his head out and found that the rocks above his head had already risen a little, separated from the water surface. He happily pulled off the bucket on Ouyang Yue'er's head so that she could breathe a few breaths of fresh air. Fortunately, although Ouyang Yue'er's breathing was weak, there was still some, which means that she was not in danger for the time being, but just a short period of lack of oxygen made her consciousness unconscious.
The more you swim forward, the wider the space above it will be.11 Knowing that there will definitely be a natural underground space nearby, I didn’t rush to swim forward anymore, but instead groped on the rock wall.
Sure enough, not long after, 11 felt that he stepped on the ground and walked along the ground with his unconscious Ouyang Yueer. 11 didn't know how lucky he was. If he was rushed to the underground river for a while, there would be a underground ocean formed by several underground rivers in front of him. As long as he was rushed into the world of underground ocean, no matter how capable you are, there would be no possibility of escape.
There was still a dark space where I couldn't see my fingers, and there was no time. 11 didn't know how long I had been walking, but I silently calculated in my mind that it should have been four or five minutes. The level under my feet was getting lower and lower, and it was only at my knees. It was just that the rock pits under the water were bumpy and difficult to walk on. In addition, the water flow rushed from behind, and there were several places that almost knocked 11 down.
11 finally walked out of the deep water area, and the water surface only reached the ankle. He sat in the accumulated water holding Ouyang Yue'er, gasping for a big mouthful. He held his breath for six or seven minutes under the water and had to swim forward. If ordinary people had already drowned. Then he had to support Ouyang Yue'er to flow up the water. Even though 11 was in awesome physical strength, he felt a little overwhelmed, not to mention that he was still injured.
Ouyang Yue'er seemed very cold, and she curled her body tightly into a ball. The underground river water was too cold, and it was pricked into the bone marrow. Although she was not afraid of this temperature, Ouyang Yue'er's body was not good, and she had just subsided her fever.
11 Turn Ouyang Yue'er over, put her back against her chest, and hug her hands from under her waist, giving her a little warmth with her body temperature.
While Ouyang Yue'er was still sleeping, 11 checked his equipment, but found that everything was lost. The flying knife, dagger and KP59 pocket phone were washed away in the underground river. The only thing left was the sleeve arrow tied to his left wrist. This set of sleeve arrows was also given to him by Madi, but 11 was rarely used, because the sleeve arrows can only play surprisingly unexpected effects in close combat at most, but its killing power was too low. 11 touched the sleeve arrow and found that the three arrows on it were gone. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly, pulled off the sleeve arrow wrist guard and threw it into the river.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe a few hours or a whole day. Suddenly, Ouyang Yue'er let out a faint moan.
"Are you awake?" 11's voice was silent, but it made a buzzing echo in this claustrophobic space.
"11." Ouyang Yue'er said in a weak voice: "I'm so cold."
11's hands increased a little more force and asked, "Is there any better?"
Ouyang Yue'er nodded slightly, was silent for a moment and asked, "Where are we?"
"I don't know, it should be the underground space, but it's safe for the time being." After pausing, 11 asked again, "Can you still leave now?"
"It should be OK. My whole body is sore. Can I take a rest first?"
11 said softly, and continued to hold Ouyang Yue'er in the water. Ouyang Yue'er's whole body was wrapped in 11's arms, and he hugged 11's arms with his back hands. Neither of them spoke, and this dark underground world was terrifyingly quiet.
After a long time, Ouyang Yue'er whispered: "11, I'm so hungry."
11 looked around, but the place where he saw nothing was visible except a black spot. He whispered: "There is nothing to eat here, so bear with it, and we can find a way out first."
Ouyang Yue'er was silent for a while and asked, "Can we still go out alive?"
11 slowly stood up, hugged Ouyang Yue'er in his arms, and said, "It must be." After that, he continued to flow in the dark and fumble forward.
