Chapter Ninety-Six: Return
And Cassia, who was in the space of the mine, would naturally become corpses fluttering with the current at that time. www.biquge.info If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid that even if you avoid the disaster in the spider building, in Nolida's plan, this should be the last step in the loop, and all the fish that have slipped through the net in the cavity of the mine can be wiped out.
They need to find the nearest entrance and exit to escape the underground tunnel space completely, otherwise the Grim Reaper's harvest scythe will still be around their necks, and harvesting life is as easy as mowing grass.
But the only entrance they knew was the one in Fromsh's workshop, and it would take more than half a day to get there from the center of the mine and open the state of the cross pupils. However, the water poured into the Moon Lake would not give them this opportunity, and the water did not flow into this cavity slowly with the power of nature in its natural state. Instead, under unimaginable pressure, the unmetered water was forcibly squeezed in crazily, so that the air here was also occupied by the large volume of water that suddenly poured in, so that the air pressure rose very quickly, and Cassia felt it in their lungs obviously. Instead of breathing air, it's burrowing into their alveoli.
"It's already started, we have to figure out a way, the entrance and exit of Floss is obviously impossible. Gustin opened his mouth to speak, and a strong wind blew around him, carrying with it the smell of dust and rotting accumulation at the bottom of the Moon Lake, and they were all carried down by the water.
The wind did not blow, but in a sudden moment, like an avalanche, with a huge volume of water that rumbled and roared, the sound of smashing on the ground with absolute force rolled from behind them. The air became the repelled thing in this enclosed space, and it ran wildly towards the place where the air pressure was less. At this point, the wind reached its extreme, and it was like a tornado, and all the sand and small stones on the ground were swept up by the wave-like wind, and they slammed towards the dark world that could not be seen in front of them.
The air was filled with cold water vapor, and there were countless scents mixed in it, and through the thick mask, you could smell the smell that could not be eliminated—fishy, rotten, fermented, and the chemical smell of countless substances reacting with each other, all of which were swept everywhere by the wind.
The time on the mechanical watch was moving minute by minute, and Kara and the others seemed to have no other way but to run in the direction of Flox's workshop. The sound of the water coming from behind them was getting closer and closer, and the intensity of the moisture and smell carried by the wind that kept blowing from behind them also explained this fact. Not much time is given to them.
A large volume of water poured in in a short period of time, causing the air pressure to rise by another step. Originally, in the center of the mining area, a huge hole had already been broken in the rock formation on the sky dome, and the white water column hit the hard ground below and the remains of spider buildings that still bubbled blue arcs from time to time on the ground.
At this moment, the rock formation on the edge of the cavity probably could no longer withstand the strong impact of the current, and a large piece of rock suddenly fell off. Then, like the domino falling, a chain reaction is inevitable. As soon as the huge crack was created on the intact rock, the white torrent was already splashing out through the gap, and in a few breathless hours, the impact force of the torrent caused the rocks to fall from the sky one after another. The chain reaction that could no longer be stopped made the broken hole expand more than tenfold in just a few tens of seconds.
As a result, in the enlarged opening, the water rushed in more frantically, and the stronger impact of the water continued to wash and oppress the surrounding rock formations that were barely resisting, and the cracks were formed more quickly, and the chain reaction became stronger and stronger.
This becomes an endless loop, which can only be stopped when the space of the mine tunnel is filled with water from the Moon Lake.
Kasia naturally felt the changes in the darkness behind them, but even if they were anxious, they couldn't help it. There is nothing but darkness around, and even the wind that doesn't stop, and now even the beam of a flashlight can't penetrate the dense dust around it. Inside the beam, the dust has the power to move forward because of the flow of air. In Kasia's eyes, the dust in the air was divided into several different directions in a large direction.
The flow of air moves from the high pressure area to the low pressure area, and this does not seem to change no matter where it is. Kasia stopped abruptly and suddenly remembered the knowledge in the book. Standing still, he turned on the flashlight, and the beam shot into the air, where there was also a dusty wind, but the direction of the flow of the wind above was slightly different from the direction of the wind near the ground.
There was an area of depression in the darkness overhead, and its force forcibly redirected the air flow that should have been unstoppable. In this almost enclosed space, there are only two possibilities for the formation of a low pressure area.
One is that it is located far from the center of the mine, which is naturally a zone of low pressure compared to the central area. The second is the entrance and exit here, which is connected to the atmospheric pressure of the outside world, and can never be a high-pressure area.
By looking at the direction of the air flowing in the air, you may be able to find the nearest entrance. The dust generated during mining is the best marker for the entire cavity, allowing him to observe subtle changes in wind direction and flow more intuitively.
Kara, who was running, saw that Kasia suddenly stopped, and naturally came to his side.
They watched as Kasia's beam of light struck the air, and a smile appeared on their faces after a few seconds. Everyone's theoretical knowledge is not bad, the difference is only in how to use it, how to remember the connection at a critical moment.
Krichens turned to Cassia's side face and said, "Mr. Kasia, this is really yours, even if I don't admit it, but many times I have to admire your mind and observation. It's always been extremely delicate. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Crichens. There was a smile on Kasia's masked face, though no one could see it.
There were several more dull noises in the darkness behind him, the sound of the rock formation falling off and smashing against the ground. The collapse of the tunnel space finally began at this time.
The wind became stronger and stronger, and the sand crackled against them, and the power of the flashlight beam was further reduced.
"Speeding up and knowing how to do it doesn't mean we can get out of here safely. Without seeing the sun outside, we are still in danger. Gustin looked in the direction of the air flow in the sky, and reminded him that the sound of rolling behind him had not stopped since just now.
The direction of several people also changed slightly at this time, and they had found the lighthouse in the dark storm, and they were about to stand up.
By the time the water reached knee deep, it was already an hour later. The icy water seemed to have just melted from the ice at the top of the mountain, and a minute later, the knee-high water rose to waist-high height in a wave. The speed of the water had seriously affected their progress, and the physical exertion began to intensify at this time.
In the darkness came the sound of a wave rolling in, a huge wave that struck them in the face of Kasia. Several people were dizzy in their heads, the force of the water waves was very strong, hitting the body was no different from hitting the steel plate, many internal organs felt hurt, the bones also creaked, and the pain was accompanied by various tissue structures throughout the body. Hold hands with each other and let no one fall short of each other, lest they be swept away by the waves. The first few times, because they were unprepared for these waves, several people were almost washed away. Under the power of nature, even the surgeon is as frightened and helpless as ants in the face of a behemoth like a human. Compared to ordinary people, they are at best a few stronger ants.
Wading through the water slowed them down by half, and they also had to fight against the waves from time to time. Finally, when the current flooded Klitschs, the tallest of the several men, only a minute or so had passed.
"It looks like most of those rock formations have collapsed, and the water is being injected too quickly. Gustin swam to the front, his feet beating the water, he ripped off his mask and said, the beam of the flashlight in his hand undulating in the waves. Now, except for some dust that has not fallen in the sky, the ground has been invaded by cold water, and it is impossible to touch the ground when you stand upright. The water is rising rapidly, the speed of the water is getting faster and faster, and more powerful undercurrents are beginning to form under the surface of the water due to the topography. However, at this time, the exit was also close in front of them, and following the flow of the wind, they expected to find an unfamiliar entrance.
"See that big pillar of rock in front of you? there's a rope ladder on it, and the entrance and exit are right up there!" Gustin shouted at Cassia behind him, with indescribable excitement. He had been in it for the longest time, and even for a minute and a second, he didn't want to breathe the fishy and rotten air around him anymore.
"Alas、、、"
Several people responded in the back, and they all breathed a sigh of relief and sped up. They climbed the rope ladder, but because of the weight limit, they had to go up alone, otherwise the rope ladder would not be able to bear their abnormal weight.
At this time, of course, the draw was still drawn, and Kasia was lucky to be in fifth place again. But in the end, there was a thrilling rope ladder up the inside of the underground sewer network.
"Finally came up and left the world where there was only darkness. Kasia said as she lay on the edge of the entrance, her cross pupils receding from her eyes at the same time, and a feeling of fatigue suddenly welled up all over her body.
Next to it was a weapons workshop, with a warm yellow light overhead, and Kara was leaning limply against the wall, in need of rest, both physically and mentally. It was quiet, the wind was whistling at the entrance, and the sound of the water stirring below seemed to be audible.
Kasia suddenly wanted to sleep, his eyelids couldn't be opened, and his meaning began to be confused, and then it was like the switch button of the machine was pressed with a "snap", his eyes went black, and he fell asleep.
