Chapter 1370 Calculation
After reacting, Gao Yanqing almost immediately understood that this was a trap. The way to dive into the water was wrong. The loophole under the boat... was definitely not a way to survive!
Maybe... the real crisis is hidden there!
After a moment of panic, Gao Yanqing forced himself to calm down. Panic would not help solve the problem and would only make him die faster. What he needed to think about was how to survive. Fortunately, he did not need to think about being underwater. It's a question of holding one's breath, otherwise the current situation would be lifeless.
Based on experience, Gao Yanqing judged that if he headed upstream now, he would most likely be noticed by something underwater and then entangled. Moreover, Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie behind him were not fools. As long as he swam back, then These two people will also react quickly. The real crisis is below.
To be able to survive until now, these two people are definitely not kind-hearted people. Once they are blocked by these two people, it will be a dead end for him.
Thousands of thoughts, but they were reflected in reality in just a few seconds. Gao Yanqing frowned and thought about it. He continued downstream, but the speed slowed down. With the flow of water, large objects kept coming. The things were sucked into the whirlpool and pulled underwater. When a wooden cabinet floated beside Gao Yanqing, he reached out to grab it.
A moment later, Gao Yanqing seemed to have made a major discovery. He grabbed the wardrobe with his hand and turned his head with difficulty at the same time, gesticulating fiercely at Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie who were not far behind him.
Seeing this scene, Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie did not hesitate at all. They immediately swung their bodies and swam over quickly, coming to Gao Yanqing's side. They followed the place Gao Yanqing pointed and looked carefully.
But the next second, Gao Yanqing took advantage of the two of them not paying attention, pressed the wardrobe with both hands, his arms suddenly exerted force, and then the whole person stepped back. At this moment, he was already behind Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie, and then his two feet were respectively The two of them stepped heavily on their backs, and with this force, Gao Yanqing rushed upwards.
"I'm sorry, I can only blame you for being too stupid!"
Gao Yanqing didn't look back, swung his body, and tried his best to swim upstream. In his mind, Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie were almost dead. Even if he is lucky enough to survive alone, he is not afraid. After all, this is not the first time such a thing has been done. I believe... the remaining people will understand him.
Gao Yanqing was in a good mood and swam faster and faster. His whole body seemed to be lighter, until he bumped into something that was about the same size as him and felt a little soft.
As Gao Yanqing regained consciousness, through the turbid lake water, Gao Yanqing saw a scene that frightened him. There were two figures above his head, not far in front of him.
Tang Qisheng, congratulations!
It was actually the two of them!
The person he bumped into just now was Tang Qisheng.
How could it be possible? He had obviously kicked these two people to the bottom. Even if they were not injured or entangled with those dirty things, it would be impossible for them to swim upstream immediately. above him.
So... Gao Yanqing's face changed instantly. The two people in front of him... were ghosts! !
But why did the ghost appear here? It should be below. If there are ghosts waiting below and ghosts chasing above, then where is the way to survive?
For a moment, Gao Yanqing had no idea. He stared at Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie, as if he wanted to see through their disguises, until... Zhu Jie, who had the same fearful expression, suddenly showed a strange smile.
That's right, Zhu Jie smiled, with the corners of his mouth raised and the corners of his eyes raised. Because the distance was relatively close, Gao Yanqing could see it very clearly. The next second, his soul was scared to death.
Zhu Jie and Tang Qisheng beside her are both ghosts!
Wrong, all wrong. Since the circuit is sealed, the road below is the real way to survive. Although it is not 100% sure, it is the only way left for him.
Gao Yanqing no longer hesitated, immediately stirred the water, and dived like a swimming fish. He had never swam so fast and smoothly.
But at the same time, Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie, who he thought were ghosts, stopped and steadied their bodies in the turbid lake water. Watching Gao Yanqing swim away, Zhu Jie stopped laughing, and his face was so cold that Bai's face was almost bloodless, and even revealed a deep exhaustion, and his whole body was trembling as he was soaked in the cold water.
When Tang Qisheng saw this, he immediately swam over, hugged her, and used his own body to warm Zhu Jie. When the two of them were on the water, they were chased by corpse ghosts covered under a white cloth, and were forced to dive into the water.
But after diving into the water, the corpse ghost's pursuit stopped, and Zhu Jie, who is sensitive by nature, was the first to realize that there was something wrong with the water here. No matter how long he dived, he would never feel suffocated.
So...even if the ship sinks completely, they will not drown to death. In other words, the really deadly thing in the ship is the horrific bite marks left on the bodies. something.
Thinking of this, Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie dived into the water, which was not very deep, and stayed here, waiting for the opportunity. Unexpectedly, they were bumped into by Gao Yanqing who suddenly rushed up.
Zhu Jie could clearly see the fear in Gao Yanqing's eyes when they briefly looked at each other, which meant that the other party regarded them as ghosts. Although it was unclear what Gao Yanqing encountered underwater, it was obviously not a good memory. Zhu Jie reacted quickly and immediately took advantage of the situation, scaring Gao Yanqing away through a series of abnormal actions.
This time Zhu Jie understood that Gao Yanqing had a narrow escape because the threat was not on the water, so it must be underwater.
Zhu Jie was very cold, shivering all over. The cold lake water was squeezing the last bit of warmth out of her body, and she couldn't hold on much longer.
Tang Qisheng hugged her tightly from behind, looking towards the lake at his feet. Gao Yanqing's figure had disappeared, leaving only a piece of turbid lake water in his eyes.
And deep under his feet, there seemed to be something that frightened him.
Things were just as Zhu Jie expected. Gao Yanqing swam toward the water like crazy. Because of his panic, he bumped into large objects in the whirlpool several times, which made him dizzy.
But he didn't dare to stop, not even for a moment. He regretted it very much now. The two people above were ghosts, so the two people who were following him just now were human beings, and he... He personally sent those two people out of the danger zone!
Danger exists only on the water, but the only way to survive is underwater!
Gao Yanqing understands!
Now he is only looking forward to a way out underwater, and the hole that creates the whirlpool will not be closed. If that is the case, then his intestines will be green with regret.
Simply, after he dived to a certain depth, that quiet light appeared again, right at the deepest point, in the very center of the whirlpool!
“Finally found it!” Gao Yanqing was refreshed.
But when he continued to dive and approached the depths of the whirlpool, suddenly, two figures rushed out from the side. Gao Yanqing recognized them as Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie. Because of what happened before, Gao Yanqing felt guilty and did not They knew how to face them, but the two of them seemed not to care about what happened before. One of them grabbed one of Gao Yanqing's arms and dragged him toward the deepest part of the whirlpool.
After the initial emotion, Gao Yanqing immediately realized something was wrong, because the two men dived too fast, twice as fast as his previous speed, and their postures were unreasonable.
An unspeakable fear swept through Gao Yanqing's body. He subconsciously wanted to break free, but the arms of the two men were like iron clamps, locking his wrist tightly.
"No, don't!"
Gao Yanqing shouted in his heart, but it was too late. At this time, he had been dragged to the deepest part of the whirlpool. There was indeed a big hole there, and the bottom of the boat was leaking. A big hole.
What really frightens and even despairs Gao Yanqing is that countless arms are protruding from the hole at this time. The arms are long and short, of different sizes. Countless arms are waving along the water flow. It was so soft that it seemed like it had no bones, and the whole scene was so weird that it couldn't be described in words.
Gao Yanqing suddenly had a strange feeling, as if...as if the big hole in the bottom of the boat was dug bit by bit by these scary boneless arms and then clawed out.
Even though he struggled with all his strength, Gao Yanqing was still pulled to the hole. The moment the two came into contact, these soft arms seemed to suddenly come to life and grabbed him one after another.
Gao Yanqing reacted quickly and turned around immediately, but although his arms or upper body were not caught, his legs were still entangled with countless arms.
He kicked desperately, trying to break away. The strong will of a person to survive is absolutely unimaginable. But as he raised his head, the scene in front of him made him completely desperate.
Two pale, almost soaked faces appeared about 10 centimeters above his head, suspended there, one on the left and one on the right. One of the eyes had been gouged out and was floating in the water. Only a few fragile nerves were connected, and the other face was even worse, with only half of it eaten away.
Coincidentally, Gao Yanqing has seen these two faces before, at Fu'an Inn.
……
"How is it?"
As soon as Jiangcheng Yao, Shun and Yu emerged from the water, the fat man asked immediately.
Jiang Cheng wiped his face and nodded to everyone, "It's true. Although the lake here looks weird, it can't drown anyone. Yao, Shun, and Yu both tried it."
Yao Shunyu also nodded. The water below was so cold that he gasped, "Brother Jiang is right, but we found that something seemed not right deep in the lake. There was a strange smell. The strange suction seemed to attract us to a certain place. Brother Jiang and I swam along the water for a certain distance and did not dare to swim any further. Brother Jiang judged that there was a huge whirlpool there."
Li Bai heard this. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Is it possible that the whirlpool is where the way out is? The ship we are on is about to sink. If we stay here forever, it may not be an option."
"What you said makes sense, but now we'd better stay put and wait and see what happens." Zhang Qizheng said, his hoarse voice actually gave people a very reliable feeling, "Since it is now confirmed that the water here cannot drown people, then We don’t have to worry about being submerged in the water. The danger is the things lurking under the water.”
The fat man seemed to have thought of something and couldn’t help but shuddered. He said vigilantly: "By the way, do you still remember the pieces of white cloth in the adobe house in the yard? They were used to cover the corpses. The six corpses at Fu'an Inn, but when we went to see them not long ago, those corpses disappeared. Could it be..."
The fat man did not say the rest of the words, but the meaning was conveyed in place. Judging from the faces of everyone, everyone remembered this incident and had the same worries.
"What should we do next?" Yao, Shun, and Yu tried their best to stand on tiptoes, because the water was getting deeper and deeper, even close to the height of their chins, and it would not take long before they were all submerged.
No longer hesitating, Jiang Cheng made the final arrangement, "Now, take a deep breath with all your strength, and then dive. Don't go too deep, and don't get close to the whirlpool. Just keep it at a depth of about 1 meter below the surface of the water. Okay, remember, no matter what happens, don’t disperse, the water is definitely not stable.”
"Okay." Zhang Qisheng was the first to agree.
With a deep breath, several people dived into the water at the same time. After entering the water, the fat man felt that he was hit by two people in front and behind him. He opened his eyes and through the turbid lake water, the fat man realized that the first one hit him. The person is a doctor Jiang Cheng signaled him to follow him, and the next person was Yao Shunyu. Through gestures, Yao and Shunyu also asked him to follow him. The fat man's originally uneasy heart suddenly calmed down. There were many people who cared about him, and no one wanted anything to happen to him. .
In a trance, as if some kind of switch was turned on, the whole world suddenly turned upside down. The original downward suction was suddenly reversed, and everyone floated upward uncontrollably.
"The boat...the boat capsized..."
It wasn't just someone who shouted vaguely at the end, in the turbid and chaotic lake water.
...
“Hu——, Hu——”
On a carved wooden bed, Jiang Cheng suddenly woke up. He woke up with him, and there were other people in the room, Li Bai, Yao, Shun, and Yu, and Fatty.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of fear and nervousness, especially the fat man, whose whole body was wet with cold sweat. Also, looking out through the crack in the window, the sky outside seemed to have already stopped. It's bright.
Before everyone could calm down and communicate, suddenly, an exclamation sounded not far away. Judging from the location, it should be the next room on the right, or the next door.
Opening the door, four people from Jiangcheng rushed out. Sure enough, the room where the exclamations came from was the next door, Mr. Zhang Qizheng's room to be precise.
At this moment, other people also came after hearing the news. After entering the room, they saw Zhang Qisheng standing in front of a bed, and Gao Yanqing, who lived with him at the moment, was lying quietly on the bed with his eyes closed and a sleepy expression. The posture is very stable.
At this time, Gao Yanqing's bed was completely soaked with water, and there was a lot of water on the ground, still dripping along the edge of the bed.
What really made Jiang Cheng and others feel a chill was that the lower half of the quilt was actually empty. It felt like Gao Yanqing's lower body disappeared under the quilt.
Tang Qisheng was the first to walk over, grabbed the edge of the quilt, and opened it. A terrifying scene appeared. His waist was cut off by a huge wound. Half of Gao Yanqing's body, including two legs, disappeared. , there are still a few water plants covered under the quilt.
The unique beauty fragrance of Spring God Lake. (End of this chapter)
