Chapter 49 Forty-eight, outer edge

The light is very dim, it should be the light of the emergency light I saw before, I don't know what is below. Now I can only use a dead horse as a living horse doctor. As long as I can leave here, even if it is a dragon's lake or a tiger's den, I have to go. The three openings obviously lead to the same place, so there is no need to choose more. We got in through the middle one, and we reached the end after climbing more than ten meters.At the other end is the iron fence of the air vent, which is full of water from the cold, and the gap between the fences is blocked tightly, turning into a slab of ice, with light coming through from behind, but the specific situation cannot be seen.

Ma Zaihai backed off the bullets and smashed the four corners of the iron fence with the butt of his gun. The place is very narrow, and it took him a long time to smash the fence down. A gust of wind blew in from behind, almost suffocating me. I immediately turned my head and took a few breaths, then covered my mouth and nose with my coat, and when I looked outside, I saw only darkness, and there was nothing outside. The three of us looked at each other to understand what was going on.The outside of this cave is not a room at all, but outside the dam, and outside is the endless abyss. From here, there is nothingness, only the dizzying gust of wind pouring straight into the cave.

This ventilation duct is facing the outside, which is reasonable. The fog outside had indeed dissipated, but I still couldn't see anything with the flashlight.Ma Zaihai yelled that he would stick his head out to have a look, we grabbed the hem of his coat, he stuck his head out, the wind blew all his clothes up, and people went out as if someone was pulling him. He was shocked, and we immediately grabbed him so that he didn't fall.Wang Sichuan said: "Hurry up, take a quick look to see what's going on." He lay down at the exit and took a hard look around with a flashlight, and then we pulled him back, and said: "This is the bottom of the dam, about ten meters below us is a rock, and there is a wire ladder on the side to climb down. "

I asked him if there were any traces of the old cats, and he said how could he see it? The searchlight he fired earlier could be seen on it, but it was quite far away. Obviously this is indeed the bottom of the dam, and it is all concrete. Interlaced layers with rocks, the flashlight can't shine very far, and nothing can be seen clearly. Wang Sichuan asked him if he could climb up the wire ladder, and he said it was a bit mysterious, the wind was too strong, stronger than the ones we covered on the dam, and these wire ladders were already decayed, if they broke halfway through the climb , the consequences need not even be mentioned.

But I think this risk can be taken, mainly because the temperature inside is too low. I feel warmer than the inside when the wind blows on this vent.If we continue to search in the cable channel, I'm afraid it won't last long.There is at least a chance of life here.Moreover, not all wire ladders can bear weight. This kind of steel bar is as thick as a thumb and is very strong. The vice squad leader's time should have been an accident.As long as we are careful when we climb, there should be no accidents. When the three of them came together, Wang Sichuan said not to make a decision yet, let's try it first, and if it doesn't work, we will come back.

So Ma Zaihai rubbed his hands to warm his hands, leaned out first, grabbed the wire ladder with one hand and hung it over, his coat was immediately blown up, he pressed hard against the concrete surface of the dam, and yelled at us, but it was only such a short distance , we can't hear clearly.He had to gesture for us to pass and climb up by himself. My second one, the moment I poked out the vent, it was indeed a little scary. It was like a cosmic space outside. There was nothing. The abyss below, I didn’t know if there was a bottom when I fell, and all I could feel was the strong wind.I grabbed the wire ladder, and the moment I hung it over, people flew up, but then I got used to it, adjusted my movements immediately, stuck to the outer wall of the dam, and then climbed up.

Next came Wang Sichuan. I watched him climb out with a flashlight. He was heavier and much more stable than me. After all stood still, I began to look around. The flashlight shined on it, and one side was the outer wall of the dam, and I could see the long strips of light that the flashlight slid across the surface of the dam.The long beam of light can only illuminate one surface, and the distance gradually melts into darkness. The concrete outer wall of the dam is very rough, and there is a layer of blackened substance on it, which looks a bit like the color of the fog.It was also on the wire ladder. I looked at my hands and found a thin layer, like liquid but not liquid. Immediately wiped it on my coat, then rolled up the sleeves to protect my hands, thinking that the devil knows these things Is it poisonous.

Needless to say, there is nothing on the other side.It felt like we were on the edge of the world. At this time, I regretted a little. It is impossible to estimate how long I will last in this state when I climb up from here. This will definitely not be a good memory. The wire ladder can go up or down. You can see there are more than one row in the distance, but there is a long distance between the two rows. There is a special kind of steel bar protruding in the middle. The steel bars below can be stamped with nails. , you can grab your hands, obviously these wire ladders and steel bars are combined with each other to form a framework that can move outside the dam.This is the reserved path used during construction or maintenance.

At this time, I thought of something, this is already the bottom of the dam, they should not need to overhaul anything, how could they keep some "channels"? Ma Zaihai saw that Wang Sichuan had also stood firm, so he bit his flashlight and began to climb up, and we followed immediately. We couldn't think in the strong wind, and we had to rack our brains to find the angle even to breathe. We didn't have any idea how many steps we climbed or how far we walked. The feeling was indescribable. In that situation, you couldn't calm down. I couldn't be excited, and I felt very strange. Looking back at the endless darkness, I suddenly realized that this feeling might be "enlightenment".My body and my soul seem to have comprehended some message, a message from a miracle.

I really doubt that if that state continues, I may convert directly, but Ma Zaihai's boots interrupted my state of mind. I looked up and it turned out he had stopped going up and my head hit the heel of his boot. I knew he must have discovered something, turned my head to look, and saw a giant "lying" on the outer wall of the dam on our left. The thing was about twenty meters away from us. It was made of concrete and steel bars, presenting a complex shape. It looked like a hedgehog covered with thorns lying on the outer wall of the dam. The steel bars were those long thorns; but this The shape must be made of concrete castings, not caused by rough engineering.The whole thing is huge, like a three-story house.

Compared with the entire dam, it is not as conspicuous as the protruding rocks below, but from this distance, it looks like a giant. From here, there is a "passage" mentioned earlier to get there, and you can go there by holding on to the steel bars. The horse looked at the sea, climbed to the path, and began to climb to that place.My principle is to avoid troubles, so when I saw him crawling over, I was a little anxious. I crawled to the place where he was standing just now and yelled at him. !" I yelled at him "whatever it is, now our first priority is to get out of here!"But he seemed to have some idea, told me to stay still, he wanted to go and have a look. Wang Sichuan patted my feet and asked me what happened.I thought to myself, what should I say, this little soldier is too disorganized and undisciplined, after thinking about it, I also followed in a strange way. Walking sideways is more resisted by the wind, and I can hardly stand. Finally, I watched Ma Zaihai reach the other side and wanted to cross, but I only climbed halfway.Suddenly a gust of wind blew and pushed me against the wall of the dam. I closed my eyes and hid there. Then I turned my head to look at Ma Zaihai, only to find that he was gone. I was startled, thinking that he had fallen, but in a blink of an eye, I saw him on the steel bars six or seven meters below. Obviously something happened to him just now, maybe he lost his hand when the strong wind came, this kid was too careless up. I gestured to him to ask if he was injured, but he didn’t have a hand to respond to me. He struggled to climb up the steel bar with his hands and feet. His hand might be injured, so he couldn’t use his strength. He climbed a few times and fell straight down. . I immediately leaned over, yelled to hold on, touched the edge, stretched out my hand, and only then did I realize why he fell.On this side, I stretched out my hand to the steel thorn of the concrete "hedgehog". The distance was very long, and I could reach it, but my hand was already stretched, and it took considerable arm strength and courage to hang it over.I retracted my hand, adjusted my posture, and it was still wrong to stretch it out again. In my heart, I scolded the little Japanese for cutting corners, and refused to put a few more at such a small distance. Wang Sichuan followed, also in a panic.I shrank back a bit, took a deep breath, and then swung vigorously. I swung over in one go, and immediately stabilized my body with all my strength, hanging in the air with one hand. This process was very reluctant, and I broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that if there was another gust of wind just now, I would definitely suffer. Hanging there, moving my feet and stepping on another steel bar, I stabilized my body, and then climbed down, holding the horse in the sea, and I cursed: "Why are you crawling here?" He grabbed my hand , Climbed a few steps hard to get a stable position, then panted: "Antenna, this is the antenna." I looked at the steel bars around me. The steel bars here are indeed different from those I saw all the way up. The steel bars here are thin and not rusty.I was a little surprised, this thing is so big, with so many branches, it seems that the receiving power is quite powerful.But that's not why he crawled over. I scolded: "The antenna is just the antenna, you don't have to climb over." He smiled at me and scratched his head.I thought he was embarrassed, but unexpectedly he turned the gun from behind, pulled the bolt, aimed at me, and said to me: "I'm sorry, Wu Gong, I have to wrong you."
