C42 (1/2)

”Probably …” I told him where I was. He frowned thoughtfully for a moment and said, ”We are at the edge of the reservoir now.” ”Beside?” Suriyawong and I shouted at the same time.

”Right.” He nodded and said, ”Do you remember if there was a mountain on this side of the reservoir?” He gestured, and I nodded. That's the mountain that connects the two towns, both inside and outside. The road I mentioned earlier is also from this mountain.

Su Lihua's eyes lit up, ”Does that mean we can find a way to enter the reservoir?”

Achilles nodded. ”I have an idea now, but I haven't tested it.” He pointed to the pool where we had come down.

”Do you think this water is stagnant or alive?”

The three of them immediately clashed. I thought of the red pill and suddenly wasn't sure if it had melted here.

At the moment, this wasn't the main point. Luckily, the pool wasn't very deep. The three of them split up and went into the water. Just in case, we left the last red ball on the shore and packed it in our bags.

The size of the lake was not small, but the water was still crystal clear. Wearing a gas mask while diving was really hard to bear.

Even so. I searched the entire area but didn't find anything. Just when I was about to try again without giving up, Su Lihua suddenly created a huge wave.

I just happened to see it and swam over. Achilles was still at the bottom. But by the time I got there, he was out of the water, too.

Su Lihua's face was full of joy, and he pointed his finger downwards. I held my breath and went down. There were two openings below.

Achilles' guess was not wrong. However, how to proceed was another big problem.

I held my breath for a minute and a half, and then I had to turn around and leave enough time to save myself.

I had a rope tied around my waist and stuck my head in the water.

The hole didn't have any strong suction or repulsive force, but when it stopped, he could still feel the feeling of the water flowing past his face.

A thought struck me.

I had thought I would have to torment him for at least a minute, but it was more likely that he would return with a minute and a half of no success.

Unexpectedly, after a short distance, he saw the light up ahead gradually grow brighter in a few seconds. The route was slightly upwards, and I could already see the exit. Furthermore, the exit was most likely on the ground!

My heart leaped with joy as I pushed my feet even further and swam towards the source of the sound.

Although there was light, it still took me several seconds to reach the sparkling surface of the water. When I emerged from the water, I took a deep breath and cut the rope around my waist and tied a knot on it.

This is the agreed method of communication. When they reel in the rope after 1 and a half minutes, they will know that I have safely left. They will definitely be able to risk it all within 1 and a half minutes.

There was a reservoir management room nearby, and no one had the door open. I went right in. I didn't have anyone in this house when I was here a few months ago, so it should just be a decoration.

I sat on the ground, feeling the warmth of the sun and keeping my eyes fixed on the water, waiting for news of the two men below.

After a while, the two faces appeared on the surface of the water. Relieved, I swam over to get my luggage. Achilles' lung capacity was good, and Suriyawong was already a little out of breath. I held him and let him swim slowly.

We are now upstream, but the current upstream is not very fast, so it is safe.

The three of them sat in the house. Achilles checked his bag and pulled out a wet pill that had not melted yet.

That was, only in that pool would it have an effect? I thought.

Su Li Hua looked at the mountain in front of them and said, ”Do you guys know that this kind of snake lives in the reservoir …” Don't disgust me, ”I rolled my eyes and interrupted him,” These two pools shouldn't be connected to each other, right? Don't be nauseous, all the water in the area is coming from here. ”

Achilles said, ”The point now is — how do we find it?”

I don't know. I don't want to move at all now. I just want to find a place where the sun is bright and wide. This time, my mental state received a great impact and I slowly recovered.

But this simple wish was not yet fulfilled.

Achilles said, ”Actually, you can go back first. After all, you should... ”I'm pretty tired too.” ”No need, no need,” I hastily waved my hand, ”I will still be with you.”

Suriyawong laughed and said, ”All in all... Can we go out and get something to eat first? ” He touched his stomach.

I thought of the chivalrous hero and the old Song who had come with me, Achilles' soft ”Dead.” I still can't react. Everything happened too quickly.

However, I don't know about the grudges between the two of them, and it's not something I can participate in.

Old Song and Hero's news was that the thing was seven inches from the Ring Road. I don't know if that was the way we went.

I asked Achilles. His message was quite different from the way they expressed it. At this moment, when she heard my words, she became extremely confused.

I remembered what they said about my father being a fake. He had nothing to say to me. Looking at Su Lihua, he just shook his head. He didn't know much about the internal affairs, and he didn't know how to tell them what he knew.

”When we get back, I'll take you to see Tiana,” Suriyawong said. ”She knows more about your father.”

I nodded and lay down on the ground.

Achilles suddenly said, ”Sure, let's replenish our underwater equipment as well.”

It took me a long time to remember that he was answering Suriyawong's question about going out, and I felt ashamed.

He was carrying a wet bag on his back as he walked, but he was in a very good mood.

We ordered takeout and went to the room that Hero had rented. There was a pair of spare diving suits left for the three of them. The thought of the other two dead made me feel unreal. I don't know if I can get news of their deaths back home, and how my family will react.

We came out at two-thirty in the afternoon. He first looked at the rented room, then went to the hotel and ordered a big takeout meal.

Early the next morning, I went to Hongtang and bought three full sets of diving equipment, including diving goggles, diving suits, oxygen cylinders, underwater lights, and a few other miscellaneous items. The most surprising thing was a water flow detector. An adequate supply of compressed food was added. Since it's all dependent on money, I didn't hesitate to pick the most expensive one,

We went into the water from above and tied the rope to the bottom of the water tower to keep it safe.
