Chapter 277 The Water Below
Although this place has been in ruins for many years, the entrance to the underground sewer is still easy to find.
"The underground waterways of the Queen Mother of the West's underground palace are interconnected. We can go down from here. According to the recorded map, the place where the dragon descended into the underground river should be to the east."
Zhang Benling looked at the entrance cleared by everyone, turned around and arranged for Zhang Ruiping to go down first to check the road.
Zhang Ruiping came down at the same time as the fixed rope, stepped into the shallow water that just covered his ankles, and shone the flashlight around.
Although this place is an underground sewer, it is about ten meters from left to right and is considered open. You can't see the end in front or behind, and the places where the flashlight can't reach are pitch black.
Not finding any dangerous places, Zhang Ruiping began to report the situation to his superiors.
"The passage is deep, there is shallow water underfoot, and the surrounding area is safe."
Zhang Ruiping's voice when delivering the message was not loud, but because the distance was quite far, the people above could only hear it vaguely and could not hear it clearly.
Wu Sansheng heard roughly what was said, so he jumped out first to make his presence felt and spoke to Wuxie and the others who were listening intently.
"The guy said the water down there is very deep, so remember to dive and be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three people named Zhang next to him looked over at the same time, and then quickly left his sight before Wu Sansheng noticed, pretending not to hear anything.
Look at the sky, the earth, and your own fingernails. Anyway, no one cares about others. The main point is to live in peace with the world.
I have to say that the blood connection between the Zhang family members is really a magical thing. Some of their subconscious actions and little thoughts cannot be said to be very similar, they can only be said to be exactly the same!
In terms of tacit understanding, even Hei Xia Zi, who has worked with Zhang Qiling for many years, cannot keep up with their conditioned reflex-like thinking.
Hei Xiazi, who was equally as sharp-eyed and perceptive, heard Zhang Ruiping's exact words clearly. He then glanced at Wu Sansheng, who seemed to be playing a trick on him, not knowing whether he had truly missed the point or was deliberately misleading him. He then glanced at the black-hearted Zhang trio, who had nothing to do with the matter and were keeping their distance.
The smile on Hei Xia Zi's face gradually became brighter, with a hint of profound anticipation for a good show.
"I'll go down first."
Zhang Moyu didn't give anyone any hint. He took a step forward and jumped down before anyone else could react.
Zhang Qiling didn't say a word, nor did he look at the others. He followed quietly as if his feet were greased.
"You guys... hurry up."
Zhang Haishe had more conscience than the previous two people. After hesitating for a moment, he urged them with a little kindness and followed them down.
"Hey? Aren't you going to make any preparations?"
The simple-minded Nan Xihe looked at the people who went down one after another, and murmured softly in confusion.
"That's why he's called a big shot. Besides, we don't have any diving suits or anything. Just be prepared and go down the rope."
Fatty Wang's words gave off a sense of giving up completely.
"I'm going down too, don't dawdle."
Although he didn't hear clearly what Zhang Ruiping said because he wasn't paying attention, Xie Yuchen sensed something was amiss from Zhang Haishe's momentary hesitation.
Xie Yuchen, who was born with a keen mind, good at observing people's words and expressions and guessing people's hearts, understood it almost instantly.
The situation below will definitely not be as Wu Sanxing recounted. Judging from the reactions of the three people in front, it is estimated that it is very likely to be completely opposite to what Wu Sanxing said. There is only shallow water below and there is no danger, so they let them do whatever they want.
It turns out that Wu Sansheng is a scumbag!
Before going down, Xie Yuchen glared at Wu Sansheng fiercely, leaving Wu Sansheng confused.
Then it was Black Blind and Aning who went down one after another, each without saying a word. Nan Xihe, who was still staying up there, had a very confused expression on her face.
"How deep is the water down there? No one can tell me exactly. I can't swim, what should I do..."
Nan Xihe spoke with hesitation and a timid voice.
Not only can she not swim, Nan Xihe has been afraid of water since she was a child. Not to mention going near water, she is even afraid of drowning when taking a bath.
He had only ever dared to stand under the shower and scrub his body, and had never even tried taking a bath.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that he used to be a poor orphan, and taking a shower is more water-saving than taking a bath.
The days of being broke deprived him of too many choices, so he tried to save as much as possible on things like water, electricity, and gas.
"It's okay, don't worry. I'll go down first. I'm a pretty good swimmer and I'll definitely be able to protect you."
Wuxie gave him a sunny and warm smile, which was like a ray of sunshine that seemed to illuminate people's hearts.
If it were anyone else, they would have burst into tears on the spot, but Nan Xihe, who had the same expressive personality as him, knew very well that people like them were those who could show great care and love if they were sincere, so he was willing to reserve his opinion on Wuxie's promise.
Wuxie felt Nan Xihe's distrust, and although he felt a little disappointed, he didn't take it too seriously.
To be honest, they have only been together for a short time. Although they get along very well, they are not yet at the point where they can talk about trust.
If Nan Xihe really showed wholehearted trust for no reason, Wuxie should consider whether he was pretending to do so to achieve some purpose, or if he was just stupid.
"Comrade Xiaonan, don't be fooled by Xiao Tianzhen's skinny arms and legs, as he looks like a boiled chicken. He was once stranded in the Xisha Sea. He was a ruthless man who swam back from the sea even when he couldn't see the boat!"
Fatty Wang boasted to Wuxie so much that Wuxie's face turned red.
It's not shyness, it's embarrassment.
But Fatty Wang kept making faces at him in a mean way, insisting on getting his answer.
"Naive, don't you think?"
Although Wuxie has now become Hei Xia Zi's disciple and has become much thicker-skinned after suffering all kinds of torture from Hei Xia Zi, he is still unable to lie with his eyes open like this for the time being, so he can only nod slightly with an ambiguous expression.
That’s right. When they came out of the Xisha underwater tomb that time, there was no sign of their ship around, and there were no passing ships.
They were about to despair, but luckily there was a miraculous guy among them. After dripping a drop of blood onto the sea surface, it was like opening a large fish trap, and a group of killer whales surrounded them.
From the moment he was surrounded by a group of ocean overlords, Wuxie knew that he was destined to have an extraordinary journey.
In addition to drifting on the sea as a message in a bottle, they can also switch careers and become killer whale riders, riding their exclusive mounts and swimming all the way back to the dock...
I swam back riding a killer whale, which means I swam back alone, no problem!
