Chapter 26 Chapter 25 Fairy Shrimp

Li Cu didn't want to wake Liang Wan up, but the water soon didn't reach her feet. He wanted to carry her back to the tent, but he didn't expect that she was not fully asleep, and woke up when he touched her. Li Cu told her that the tide was rising, but she still didn't believe that Haizi could also rise, so she lifted her trouser legs and ran back to the highest point of the sand dune. Li Cu went to call Su Wan and Yang Hao again.Su Wan got up very angry, obviously exhausted to the extreme, and scolded his ancestor loudly: "It's been a day of baking, it's so easy to sleep, and let people live!"

Li Cu knocked on his ribs twice, and shouted to them: "Put all the equipment on your back, let's wade through this ditch and find the safest place to store it, otherwise we will have to wait in the water later." fished out." Getting up in a daze, Su Wanju washed his face with water, then Li Cu put away the tent, Yang Hao carried his equipment on his back, and was the first to wade to the opposite bank. The original ditch had turned into a waist-deep brook. After taking two or three steps, he stopped, looked down at the water around him, and shouted, "That's not right." He cried out and stepped back from the water a few steps.His legs were densely covered with pockmarks. He shook off the equipment and wiped it down, and there was blood all over it. "This fairy shrimp is biting. Damn, my leg hair is gone."

Li Cu squatted down to look, and found that although the wound was not deep, the fairy shrimps had all penetrated into Yang Hao's skin, and they died as soon as they were pressed, which was very scary to watch. "Che Galiba said that this thing doesn't bite." "He also said he had never seen a black one. Could this be a new species? It feels like a water mosquito. I don't know if it will infect diseases." Seeing that the rising water level would soon occupy the sand dune, Su Wan said, "Don't be pretentious, it's just a few bites, go away quickly, or you will be bitten even more if you don't say anything is flooded." Miserable. What about the Mongols? He was paid to sleep on his own, no wonder he has to sleep in such a high place.”

As he said that, he jumped into the water, gritted his teeth and walked forward, and ran back screaming after a few steps.Li Cu went to the water's edge and saw that the water was densely packed and turned completely black.As long as a person gets into the water, all those things will come up, and they will be wrapped up if they can't reach the other side. Liang Wan was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he grabbed Li Cu's hand to express that he would never go into the water.Li Cuo yelled to the other side a few times, but did not hear a reply. He yelled to Su Wan and Yang Hao: "Tighten your trouser legs and tie them up with tape, as well as your waist. You two take the equipment, and Miss Liang rides on the trouser legs." on my shoulder."

The water level rose so rapidly that it looked like black fairy shrimp were crawling up the dunes.Su Wan took out the submachine gun from his bag, pulled the bolt and fired into the water.Li Cu thought it was useless, but after the bullet entered the water, it caused ripples one by one, and even instantly blasted a path of black thick juice. "The resistance of water is about 770 times that of air. After the bullet enters the water, it will explode and form water pressure, just like when it enters the body. Although it has almost no lethality, it is enough to deal with this kind of shrimp. Let's go, I will clear the way!" Su Wan As he spoke, he strafed the water desperately, put on his backpack and rushed down.

Li Cu followed closely behind, Yang Hao had a rare shot, so he also drew his own gun and took cover from behind. Where the bullet swept, the black thick juice was dispersed, but it would fill up again in an instant, and Li Cu was still bitten countless times.The bite of this thing was very painful, he gritted his teeth and tried to stabilize his figure, avoiding throwing Liang Wan off.However, the bottom of the water was sandy, so it was difficult to walk steadily. Several times, Liang Wan almost fell into the water. Halfway through, they found that their feet could not touch the bottom of the water.This is bad. If you swim, all parts of your body will be in contact with the water. If these shrimps get into your eyes, you will definitely lose your sight.

At this moment, Che Galiba finally ran over and looked at them in bewilderment. "Hurry up and get us up! Otherwise, you won't be able to keep the 4500 behind!" Li Cu shouted. Che Galiba cursed: "I'll pay you back 4500, tell me how I can save you?" "You have cold fireworks in your bag! Fight and throw them to us." Li Cuo had an idea. Che Galiba complied.He doesn't know how to use cold fireworks, so he can only throw them directly to Li Cuo.After catching it, Li Cu hit Liang Wan on the buttocks, ignoring Liang Wan screaming in pain.He fired up the cold fireworks and sank into the water.

As he expected, the chemical combustion of the cold fireworks really pushed the black shrimps away, but Li Cuo saw a scene that horrified him: black shrimp larvae were hatching like a fountain in the sand under their feet. This shows that there are a large number of insect eggs in the sand, and they all hatch as soon as they come into contact with water. It is estimated that this phenomenon can only be seen once in hundreds of years. The cold fireworks were lit up one by one, they had no other place to hit them, so they had to hit Liang Wan's ass.In this situation, Liang Wan couldn't say anything.

Even so, they couldn't advance much.Seeing the situation at the bottom of the water, Su Wan collapsed. The bullets from the two shuttles were all fired, and the bullet casings fell on Li Cu's face. Che Galiba suddenly remembered something, said to wait, ran back to the sand dune where he was staying, took out the skin bag containing goat milk from his backpack, and poured all the goat milk into Haizi.At the same time, all the fairy shrimps rushed in that direction. Seeing the opportunity came, Li Cuo yelled to come on, sank into the water, swam forward quickly, and finally approached the opposite bank.

First Liang Wan was pulled up, then the equipment, and finally the three people covered in shrimp and bugs were pulled up.Li Cu was the worst, even on his face.After coming up, he buried his head in the sand and kept rubbing it, his face was covered with sand and blood. After panting for a long time, Li Cu looked up to the sky, and heard the sound of rising water level one after another, and at the same time, thunder-like sounds came from everywhere. He knew it was the sound of Mingsha, and the sand dunes here were undergoing drastic changes. Su Wan dropped the shrimp and insects and asked Che Galiba why it took so long to come to rescue them, and if he fell asleep.Che Galiba pointed to the front and said, "I was stunned by what happened."

Li Cu sat up, and in the morning light, he saw that in the previously dry desert, water seeped out from under the sand everywhere, forming many large and small seas.The newly born Haizi was slowly connected again, and a river-like water belt appeared.The lake they were in was at one end of the water belt. After the water belt passed through, it continued to spread, and the water level was getting higher and higher. It seemed that it had the tendency to become a long river. "Is there a river in Badain Jaran?" Su Wan asked dumbfounded. "Yes, the Ruoshui River is an inland river. But not this one. This one should be a ghost river. It may be an underground tributary of the Ruoshui River. Occasionally, a part of it will emerge from the water." Che Galiba said, "It's the first time I've seen it too." "It seems that this Haizi is connected to an underground river. There must be a huge underground water source 10,000 meters below this sand. Because of geological activities, the water surged to the ground. It seems that the previous Huoshaofeng should also be related to geological activities. "Liang Wan said. Li Cu looked in the direction of the dark river, and suddenly realized something. He took out Wu Xie's map, compared it with the compass, and found that the meaningless black lines on the map actually indicated the dark river under the desert.And the direction of the dark river in front of him was shown on the map as converging with the end of the red line. The water flowed slowly at their feet, and the hot wind was still pressing down. They were still 8 kilometers away from their destination.According to today's pace, it will take at least two days to arrive. He is unwilling to go through what he experienced yesterday. "Brothers, we have to build a ship." Li Cuo said.
