Hoarding money to raise cubs Day 273

Lu Liran opened his eyes when he heard the sound, Shi Nan had already stood up and began to check the equipment.

Ruan Xiaotian trotted over with a new route.

Lu Liran took a look at the new route and had a general direction in mind.

"Ruan Xiaotian and Fei Li, the two of you set off immediately after we go down, and lead Commander Ming to evacuate this area." Lu Liran ordered, and at the same time marked out an area on the map, indicating that Ruan Xiaotian and the two should at least get out of this area. The area is considered safe.

"receive!"

Ming Feng took a closer look at the area Lu Liran had drawn, and couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Are you going to go that far? Do you think that even this piece of land may collapse?"

"Just preparing for the worst." Lu Liran looked at Ming Feng.

Hearing this, Ming Feng felt slightly at ease, he didn't think that the worst possibility that Lu Liran predicted would happen.

—If a collapse of this scale really happened, those who were still trapped underground would never be able to survive.

Soon, after checking the two-person equipment, Lu Liran and Shi Nan went down to the underground cave from the nearest hole detected.

After Ruan Xiaotian and Fei Li saw that they had successfully reached the bottom of the cave, they immediately carried out Lu Liran's order, took Ming Feng with them, and quickly left the area.

After arriving at the bottom of the cave, Lu Liran turned his head to look at Shi Nan, and asked, "This is the first time to perform an underground cave environment mission?"

"The second time." Shi Nan replied concisely.

"That's good." Lu Liran replied when he heard the words, "Do you know what will happen next? You know it by heart?"

Shi Nan nodded: "There are."

"Okay. Then follow me closely." After Lu Liran finished speaking, he reconfirmed that there was no problem with the safety cable between the two of them, and then followed the closest route given by Fei Li and Ruan Xiaotian.

After the two of them crawled in the complex cave terrain below for nearly 20 minutes, Lu Liran stopped for a while, and touched the rock walls on both sides with his palms.

The wet and cool rock wall seems to be able to seep water, as if it was visited by an underground river not long ago.

"What's wrong with Team Lu?" Shi Nan followed behind Lu Liran, seeing Lu Liran stop, he couldn't help poking his head out to look over.

"Did you hear the sound of water?" Lu Liran asked Shi Nan.

After hearing the words, Shi Nan listened attentively, held his breath for a few seconds, then shook his head slightly: "No. Did you hear that, Captain Lu?"

Lu Liran didn't answer, just said: "Continue."

"Okay, Team Lu." Shi Nan didn't care if he didn't get an answer to the question, and followed Lu Liran closely.

The two didn't walk for too long, and soon arrived at the location where Lu Liran had discovered the members of Yao Fei's team.

It's just that compared to two hours ago, a shallow layer of water has accumulated on the ground in this area for some reason.

Seeing this, Shi Nan looked at Lu Liran subconsciously: "Team Lu..."

"Hurry up." Lu Liran said coldly.

The shallow puddles accumulated on the ground mean that the geological structure here has been loosely shifted, which led to the hidden water from the underground river waterfall next to it.

In just two hours, such an obvious change appeared, and the development was faster and more rapid than Lu Liran expected.

"Come one by one, transport the two wounded out first." Lu Liran said to Shi Nan.

"receive."

The wounded were all in a coma and unable to move independently, which greatly increased the difficulty of rescue for Lu Liran and Shi Nan. In addition, the underground cave has a narrow passage, which made the operation itself difficult, so the two could only transport one wounded back and forth at a time.

By the time they brought one of the wounded to safety and turned back, the water had risen to waist depth.

Shi Nan's eyes widened. He never thought that it was just a round trip. The situation here is completely incomparable to that just now.

The bodies of two DFA teammates were floating on the water, Shi Nan forced himself not to look at them, he waded across the water and walked towards another surviving wounded man wrapped in a huge grass cocoon.

He was about to tear open the cocoon, but Lu Liran suddenly shouted: "Don't move!"

Shi Nan immediately froze there, not daring to move.

Lu Liran carefully pushed aside the two floating corpses on the water, walked to the other side of Shi Nan, and saw that behind the grass cocoon that Shi Nan was about to tear apart, there was a piece of cracked rock attached to it.

And a thin stream of water, about the thickness of a little finger, is flowing out from the cracks in the rocks.

Shi Nan also noticed it now, his pupils shrank violently, and he looked at Lu Liran in bewilderment.

Lu Liran gave Shi Nan a look, and said in a calm voice, "Shi Nan, do as I say."

"Okay, Team Lu." Shi Nan swallowed, and after hearing Lu Liran's voice, he didn't know why, but felt relieved.

Lu Liran supported one side of the cocoon, put almost all the weight on his hands and shoulders, and then said to Shi Nan: "Let go of your hands slowly, and step back. Don't be too fast, don't touch anything around you."

Shi Nan responded, moved his hands carefully, and slowly withdrew his body and hands from the grass cocoon.

Ruan Xiaotian and the others on the ground also held their breath, nervously watching the progress here.

Ming Feng frowned. From his point of view, even if Shi Nan was able to withdraw completely, the grass cocoon wrapped around the wounded could no longer maintain its original shape. Afterwards, the underground river water will gush out and wash away the entire fragile and loose cavern.

Just a matter of time.

"Okay, Team Lu." After five minutes, Shi Nan whispered to Lu Liran, "Then what should I do?"

Lu Liran glanced at him and said, "Go back the way you came, leave here, the sooner the better."

Shi Nan was startled: "Team Lu!"

But he was very clear about the current situation in his heart. Once the rock was lifted, the cave would be flooded by the underground river in just a few seconds, and even the entire area would collapse under the impact.

How could even Lu Liran resist such natural power?

This was clearly a sacrifice to allow him to leave safely.

Shi Nan looked at Lu Liran and pursed his lips tightly: "I can't let you here alone, even if it's an order, I can't carry it out."

He waded through the water again and returned to Lu Liran, looking at Lu Liran persistently.

Seeing this, Lu Liran frowned slightly, and after looking at Shi Nan for two seconds, he had no choice but to compromise.

He nodded slightly to Shi Nan: "Okay. Then you come here, give your hand, and support this end."

"Good team Lu." Shi Nan immediately followed what Lu Liran said.

Lu Liran concentrated on trying to expand the area of ​​the entire grass cocoon. If he could enclose both of them, at least they would not be defenseless when faced with the impact of groundwater.

As for changing the direction of the underground river's collision and flow, which is almost impossible to do artificially, Lu Liran doesn't think that relying on his mental power alone can make any changes.

He couldn't help but think in his heart, if Ke Ji was there, maybe they still had a glimmer of hope.

Lu Liran closed his eyes hard, and put aside the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.

Under the action of Lu Liran's mental power, the grass vine grew stronger again, and stretched out its long emerald green stems to Lu Liran and Shi Nan with changes visible to the naked eye.

This is the first time that Shi Nan has seen the grass vines come to life so closely. The scene that he saw through the screen of the aircraft before, like a magic miracle, happened within his reach.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and stared at Lu Liran and the trembling cocoon.

I don't know how long it took before the grass cocoon finally opened up a small space, barely allowing people to squeeze in sideways. Lu Liran said to Shi Nan: "You go in first."

This time Shi Nan didn't refuse anymore, he knew that Lu Liran still needed to continue.

He squeezed sideways into the narrow space, and clung to the unconscious wounded man.

After seeing the wounded, Shi Nan did not forget his purpose of coming down this time, and hurriedly took out the medicine and emergency needle from the equipment bag, mixed them into the syringe and injected them into the wounded's vein.

The effect of the acupuncture was very good, and the wounded man quickly regained some consciousness. Although he was still too weak to move, he was able to cooperate with Shi Nan to move his body and make room for him.

"Captain Lu! There's enough space here! Come in too!" Shi Nan notified Lu Liran immediately upon seeing this.

Lu Liran did not respond to Shi Nan immediately.

Shi Nan didn't hear Lu Liran's voice, so he immediately realized that something was wrong. He hurried out of the grass cocoon, and just as he stepped out of a leg, Lu Liran suddenly pushed him back.

"Lu Corps?!"

Before Shi Nan could see anything clearly, he saw the long and dense grass stalks suddenly close in front of his eyes. After the outermost grass stalks were closed, the inner layers were intertwined in front of Shi Nan's eyes.

Shi Nan lunged forward, but still didn't have time to interrupt.

Water jets the size of a faucet were quickly poured in from the outermost layer of the closed grass stems, seeping water in all directions, until the grass stems were stretched and interwoven into a dense cloth on the inner layer, and the water leakage and seepage could be stopped.

Shi Nan recovered from the momentary panic, and hurriedly knocked on the outer wall of the grass cocoon, calling out to Lu Liran.

No one responded to him.

Shi Nan didn't know what was going on outside, but he quickly remembered Ruan Xiaotian and Fei Li on the ground, and quickly pressed the communicator next to his ear: "Fei Li! Can you see what's happening outside? What happened outside? What?! Did the water rush in?"

A few seconds after his words were sent out, Fei Li responded, but contrary to Shi Nan's nervousness, Fei Li's voice was more excited:

"Yes, not long after you entered, the rock cracked, and Team Lu used his mental strength to spread out a defensive barrier to support it for a while."

Shi Nan heard the words and asked: "What about now?"

He actually felt something was wrong in his heart. For example, the grass cocoon they stayed in was originally fixed, but now it was like a rootless duckweed, which was obviously pushed by the waves outside, which meant that the grass cocoon outside The water situation is very severe, and they are likely to have been washed away tens of meters.

"Now?" Fei Li said in a dreamy tone, "Saved. You must not imagine what happened here..."

The underground cave full of holes seems to be cut open by invisible air waves.

Under the huge ravine that is more than ten meters deep, the underground waterfall and the surging underground river seem to have been pressed the pause button, staying in midair and freezing in a state that does not conform to the gravity of the earth.

The huge emerald green grass cocoon floated on the wide river, only three or four meters away from the cliff of the waterfall.

No matter how the river surges, it seems to be rooted in the river bed, and it has not been washed off the cliff at all.

And Lu Liran, in such a huge natural environment, is as small as a grain of corn. He was already prepared for the impact, curled up between a rock crevice, which can offset the impact of the water flow to the greatest extent.

But the expected collision did not come as expected, and he even heard the roar of the giant flood monster.

Lu Liran opened his eyes suddenly, and a very familiar figure stood in front of him.

His breathing was slightly stagnant, and when he looked up, he saw his little self reflected in a pair of clear and solemn steel blue.

Before Lu Liran came back to his senses, a metallic hum sounded like a coquettish voice.

Lu Liran subconsciously turned his head to look over, and saw a giant towering in the air, slowly flying to his side.

The iron giant stretched out its icy mechanical fingers, and gently touched Lu Liran's muddy forehead, and let out another soft cry.

"Hold tight." The man's deep voice sounded close to Lu Liran's ear.
