The Dead Zone: Maya Stela - C42

“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.

Returning to this place once again, his attitude was completely different. Since he had already confirmed that he could run, he didn’t have to worry about it anymore.

There was no change at all. It was only when we came in that we remembered we still hadn’t decided how to get there. Achilles’ meaning was clear: he wanted to see the caves one by one.

Suriyawong and I waited in boredom. I watched Achilles form dim under the water, and within a few hours the water had returned to its original form, no longer as clear as it had been before.

Achilles walked through all the caves, then floated to the surface of the water and beckoned to us. “I just looked at it. The only one with the flow rate is the one with the golden paste …” He hesitated.

I felt a burst of shock in my heart. I had experienced how powerful that thing was and it was almost comparable to sulfuric acid. If there really was only this one path …

Achilles said, “But you’re not allowed to do that. If the water is connected to another pool, it could also be calm. And the reason for the velocity of the current in that special hole …” It could be the snake from before. ”

I raised my hands and feet in agreement. He suddenly thought of an idea and said, “Let’s throw that red ball down and watch how fast it runs. We all have blades on our bodies, so how about you stand at a distance and receive us, Suriyawong? Your marksmanship is the best. ” And he was the slowest to escape.

Suriyawong was a veteran. Not the military ones, but serious veterans who fought terrorists and drug addicts and were proud policemen before they were enslaved.

He nodded slightly. His expression turned cold as he retreated to the corner to hold the rifle butt. He was ready to shoot Snake Eye at any time.

I saw that he was in a professional position with a gun, even though it was just a pistol, but he had a charging consciousness, and his hands were so steady that I couldn’t help but feel very satisfied and envious at the same time.

So where was the gun in my bag?

I wanted to ask, but the pill had already been thrown in. Our eyes were fixed on the surface of the pool, and the water began to sink again, like a whirlpool.

I stared unblinkingly at it, but to our surprise, before the whirlpool of water in the pool could finish, a huge head emerged.

I was stunned. The huge head suddenly sank slowly into the water, slowly moving to the shore. Then, I closed my eyes.

Was this the snake from a moment ago? Not fake?

I looked at the other two people in surprise. Achilles suddenly exclaimed, “This snake …” Before he could finish, the snake suddenly opened its mouth. I subconsciously tried to retreat, but it flicked its tongue and spat out a small piece of metal. At the same time, two of its teeth fell off. I saw that it was indeed fixed there with something. As soon as the piece of metal hit the ground, the teeth couldn’t hold on any longer.

Before I could figure it out, the two “dentures” had fallen into the water. I thought to myself. Achilles looked down at the piece of metal that had been spat on the floor.

The snake uncomfortably turned its head, but it did not make any aggressive movements. Instead, it obediently laid its head down.

My heart gave a start, and I squatted down to look at the piece of metal.

It was covered with a thin layer of green liquid, which must have been secreted by the snake’s mouth. It never opened its mouth, and we couldn’t pick it up.

After reading the contents, I was stunned.

I read each word out loud.

“All who hold the Dragon Ball are honored guests. If I do not abandon this servant, I will come to the Dragon Palace for a chat and the guests will be able to obtain it. ”

My head is going to explode from the pain. Is this world a fantasy? And the Dragon Palace? And only this one servant?

This character was a small piece of paper. It was the same as the words on the stone monument, even though it was covered by a layer of green.

Suriyawong and Achilles waited for me to explain.

“Some people think of themselves as the Dragon King. We entered someone else’s Dragon Palace, and this is a servant who came to fetch us. ” I said gloomily.

This is beyond my range. This snake had lived for hundreds of years, and should not have appeared in a place like Ningbo where it was considered an overlord of the tropical forest.

A voice suddenly came from beside him. Achilles was already sitting on top of the snake, watching us raise our eyebrows. Then, he suddenly touched the snake’s body with an extremely astonished expression.

The snake crouched meekly, and Achilles stepped back and raised the chain in his hand.

“In the meat?”

“This is a fake snake.” Achilles suddenly laughed. “Don’t worry, just sit up. We won’t die.”

I looked at him in shock.

“Wow, really.” It was unknown when Su Lihua had excitedly rushed over to touch me. He turned around and said, “I didn’t notice anything earlier.” Your Chinese culture is indeed vast and profound! ”

On the surface, my mouth was full of praise for being modest. When I reached out to touch the snake, I felt the real feeling of a snake’s skin, but it didn’t have the smooth texture of flesh. Instead, it was very hard.

I instantly understood what was in it. I didn’t know what was inside, but there was a layer of snake skin on it.

I pulled on the chain on the snake’s back and waited for the three of them to sit down, but the snake didn’t move at all.

“What’s going on?” Suriyawong’s elated face stiffened.

This was a fake snake, so it was impossible for it to see how many people were around it …

I shot a glance at the side of the board and thought of the last sentence.

“Su Li Hua, let’s tie this bag to two empty seats!” I said.

“Ah?” “Oh, oh.”

I explained as I tied the rope, “I’m not sure. But we can’t add any other weight. If you understand that all the guests can get something from here, then there is one extra ‘, so I think that there might be another meaning – there are people in all the seats. ”

Suriyawong did not know what I was talking about. Achilles nodded.

I didn’t have a bottom in my heart, so when I returned to my original position, I felt my crotch shake. He knew he had made the right bet.

At this moment, there was only joy and excitement left in my heart but I had forgotten one thing —

If the red ball was the same effect as the invitation, then why did the golden liquid that came out of the water after the pill had fused with the water was a elixir that could take a person’s life …
