Chapter 2

Wang Qi immediately jumped into the river. The river was much more turbulent than the section of the river he jumped off the day before yesterday, and his whole body was driven as soon as he entered the water. With the power of the whirlpool, he swam to the bottom of the river in front of him, ready to get out of the control of the whirlpool at the southern edge. Unexpectedly, he had just swam twice, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in his shoulder. Blood permeated the river. His eyes suddenly turned red. One arm was immediately numb and lost his strength, so he could not resist the suction of the whirlpool and was rolled up. To the center of the vortex, it was too late for Wang Qi to react. A huge force dragged him to spin and go deeper and deeper. Wang Qi swam hard to get rid of the control of the whirlpool, but the power of the whirlpool became stronger and stronger, and it became more and more difficult for him to breathe. His eyes were black, and his hands and feet were gradually weak. Then he faintly saw a black cave more than one meter wide. The cave was getting bigger and bigger, sucking his whole body into it.

The water pressure in the cave · waterway became more and more huge, as if to squeeze out the last breath in the chest. It was dark in front of him. Wang Qi felt that he had never been so close to death in his life, but his will to survive had never been so strong. He endured the pain, guarded the last line of siness, and only hoped that a miracle would happen, and then The miracle really happened: at a corner of the waterway, Wang Qi was suddenly washed out of the water and thrown into a small cave in a corner. Wang Qi felt that the water pressure surrounding his whole body disappeared in an instant. His breathing was smooth and he was ecstatic, but then he was shocked that he was in his situation - he was falling at a high speed.

Wang Qi smiled bitterly and thought that the time had finally come, but it was the beginning of another nightmare. But this nightmare seems to be coming to an end. I don't know how deep the hole is. Wang Qi's fall is getting faster and faster, and his heart is getting more and more anxious. He scratched his hands headless in the dark and unexpectedly touched the hard stone wall. Wang Qi had a glimmer of hope in his heart that if he caught some vines or branches, he could slow down the falling speed. In a panic, I forgot that the cave was dark, and it was not the cliff outside. How could there be any plants to climb?

Suddenly, Wang Qi's arm touched the rock wall again. This time it seemed to be much closer, and then the knee also touched, followed by the whole body. It turned out that only the upper part of the downward passage of the cave was vertical, but it slowly tilted downward. Moreover, the stone wall was relatively smooth, and there were no particularly prominent stones. Wang Qi was overjoyed. He quickly turned over and tripped down the increasingly gentle rock wall. With the friction of his clothes, the speed was getting slower and slower. When the momentum stopped and his feet landed on the ground, Wang Qi carefully confirmed that it was indeed to the end. Finally, he exhaled. Although he became a caveman at the bottom of the mountain, he finally survived for the time being.

As soon as he relaxed, he immediately felt the pain on his shoulder. Wang Qi remembered that he was shot. He touched it with pain and found that the bullet only shot the epidermis. It was estimated that the impact was too great to make his arm sore and weak for a while. Thinking of Red who made him like this, Wang Qi really hated it. He said it was five seconds. In fact, the bullet shot over half of the time. Although the gun only hit the skin, Wang Qi would not be grateful to him. Red obviously calculated everything and knew that this timely shot was enough to make him unable to get out of the whirlpool.

On the river bank, Red watched Wang Qi disappear into the whirlpool and smiled with satisfaction. He took off his backpack and turned out a bag of beef, a few chicken legs, and a loaf of bread. Wang Qi and his friends originally wanted to stay in the forest for a week. There was quite a lot of food in the backpack. Red had a big appetite and was half of it after eating it in three days, but the rest was enough for him to get out of the forest. He took the food, put down his backpack, and glanced around. Seeing that there was a low land on the reeds on the river bank, he went there, filled a bottle of water in the river, and nibbled beef and bread with water. After only a few bites, his face suddenly changed greatly. He couldn't help choked his throat and stumbled forward. His consciousness gradually became confused. After a few steps in the reeds, he fell down and could no longer stand up.

There is no light or sound in the hole, and it is completely dead. Wang Qi tore off his sleeve and bandaged the wound. He looked at the top of his head. Although he couldn't see it, he knew that it was where he fell. The pain in his shoulder slowly receded. Wang Qi tried to work hard and found that there was no big problem. He slowly climbed up the slope. The slope was very smooth, but the slope was not high, so he could still climb up, but this situation did not last long. As the rock wall became steeper and steeper, Wang Qi soon could not move forward. He carefully touched the surrounding rock wall and knew that it was really impossible to go up, and he was not disappointed. The stone wall above was almost vertical. Even with a full set of tools, it was not easy to go up. What's more, he was empty-handed, and one of his arms was a little injured. Even if you climb up, you have to deal with the waterway that can't be passed by manpower at all.

When he went down the slope, Wang Qi knew that he could only hope to find another exit if he wanted to go out. He has watched the special program of crypt exploration, and he has a vague impression. He knows that the scale of many crypts is beyond imagination. Some cave systems can be connected by thousands of miles. Several exits are very normal. However, that being said, there is no prior experience accumulation, no adequate preparation, no good team, no support and tools. If you want to find an outlet in the huge cave system, it is simply the dream of a mental patient. But Wang Qi is not for adventure, but for survival. No matter how difficult it is, he has to have a try. He touched the rock wall and walked forward. After walking 20 or 30 steps away, he suddenly touched the air. Wang Qi walked over carefully and touched it. He probably knew that this might be a passage. He did not enter directly, but continued to touch it. Soon, he found a cave. The cave he fell was very large. Except for the side he fell, there were many small caves leading to different. The direction. Wang Qi didn't think about it. In the first step, he encountered these many fork roads. He couldn't help but explore it carefully for a long time, but he didn't find any cave that was more special, so he had to try them one by one.

He touched his pocket, and there were only some eggshells left in it, and most of the remaining eggs were lost when they fell into the water. Obviously, if he doesn't find the exit as soon as possible, he will starve to death here. Wang Qi calmed down, chose the first channel on the left, touched the stone wall and moved forward carefully. After walking for a long time, he found that it was a dead end. He quickly turned back and entered the second cave. After walking for more than half an hour, he seemed to come to another cave. After carefully touching it, I found that this place was not much smaller than the hole I fell, and there were many fork in the road. Wang Qi pondered for a moment and decided not to explore step by step. In that case, before he could find an exit, he would starve to death in the cave and could only depend on his luck. So I chose the biggest fork, walked for more than an hour, and then turned to another fork. I explored the way intuitively, but I didn't forget to remember the route I had taken. Wang Qi's memory is extraordinary. If he is not in a hurry to find separated friends, he will not get lost in the forest at all. As long as he deliberately remembers something, he will rarely make mistakes. The road map in his mind gradually became complicated with his progress, and Wang Qi became more and more tired. He hasn't slept well these days. He has walked so many roads during the day and only eats raw eggs. In addition, it's about late at night, and it's incredible to persist until now. After another passage, Wang Qi finally couldn't support it, so he found a place that was not very cold to sit down and rest.

He touched his clothes and was almost dry after more than half a day of exercise. He bought this dress before he came to Europe, but now it's tattered. Wang Qi imagined what he was like now, shook his head, and unconsciously fell asleep against the stone wall. The hole was extremely quiet, and only his empty stomach shouted softly.

I don't know how long he slept. Wang Qi finally woke up and was in good spirits, but his mouth was a little dry, and his stomach became more and more hungry. However, this feeling seemed to take away his bad luck for days. Less than six hours after walking, Wang Qi, who was drilling into some small caves, suddenly heard the most beautiful sound of his life - the sound of water. Wang Qi was overjoyed and touched it slowly with patience. The cave is too dark. Who knows where the water is. If it is an underground abyss or a high dark river on the river bank, falling is a dead end. It's ironic to usher in death at the moment of seeing the hope of life.

The rock wall quickly turned, and Wang Qi touched a corner. At this time, he heard the sound of splash stirring, and it seemed to be right in front of him. He can now be sure that there are fish in the water. Having fish means that there is food. If there is food, you will not die. If you don't die, you will have a chance to go out. Thinking of this, Wang Qi couldn't help but be very surprised. A few steps forward, the mystery will be revealed. It is indeed an underground dark river, but the water is not deep, the river bank is not high, and the fish are also stupid, so he was saved.

I almost drowned in the water yesterday, but today I met water and survived. This is the most strange thing in life. Wang Qi sat on the pile of stones by the dark river and nibbled at the fresh and tender raw fish. He only felt extremely sweet. After a while, he gnawed the four fat fish that could not be called easily.

After a full stomach and a rest, the body quickly recovered. After thinking about it, Wang Qi decided to walk along the river. There is water and food here, at least life is guaranteed, and maybe the source of the river is the outlet, which is a hundred times better than the previous aimless exploration. With a decision, Wang Qi immediately set out and headed for the upper reaches of the river. The river is very long, and most of the rivers do not have deep water flow. When there is no river bank, Wang Qi moves forward. When he is hungry, he catches a few fish to eat. Although the number of fish here is not large, there seems to be no natural enemy. He does not react quickly and is easy to catch.

On the third day, Wang Qi heard a huge sound of water at a tributary of the dark river and walked in the direction of the sound. Soon he found a small waterfall. The river poured down from a high place and fell into another dark river. The difference between the two sides was nearly ten meters. Wang Qi was careful and finally climbed down and entered the pool under the waterfall. Go out and swim. Not far from the waterfall, he suddenly felt that the water temperature had changed. It seemed to be a little warmer than the dark river just now, and explored the width of the river, which was about twice that of the dark river, but the flow rate was not much different. Wang Qi's heart moved and he took a few steps back and forth in the river. Suddenly, a fish came and swam between his legs. Wang Qixi said, "It's just the right time." Then he reached out and took out a few times. The fish had no sense of crisis and was easily caught in his hand without any struggle. Wang Qi carefully touched the fish's eyes and found that his eyes were not degraded. It seemed to be no different from the fish on the surface. It was probably from the ground.

Wang Qi concluded that the fish re-entered the water, and it did not run, but only swam around Wang Qi. Feeling the fish swimming, Wang Qi thought that he had finally seen the dawn of the exit. He was excited and couldn't help laughing. For a long time, he calmed down his excitement and strode towards the upper reaches of the river. There may be an expected exit there.
