Chapter 502

This is the beginning of July. The wet season should be from mid July to early August.

In case of wet season, it is estimated that even the water here can be completely submerged. Where can they expose their heads and breathe.

"Look, there's someone over there!" suddenly, a bodyguard pointed to the front.

There is also a large flat land concave inward on the front bank, which can just rest on it and wait for rescue.

At this time, the other party also heard the voice here, thought it was the rescue team, and shouted excitedly, "we're here, help us out."

Xue Shuo said, "hurry over."

The bodyguards immediately quickened their speed, went upstream and reached the seat of the group.

When they walked in, the miners found that they were not the rescue team. They were disappointed, "it's you. It's good. You're not dead."

Lin Wushuang counted. There were 15 absentees here, and now there are 27 absentees.

These absenteeism are known. They see each other alive, cry and hug one after another, and don't know what will happen in the future.

There is a monitor who is absent from work here. He just knows the situation of this mine. Lin Wushuang asked, "how many people are working today?"

"There are 32 people working in our mine today," replied absenteeism.

Lin Wushuang nodded, "that is to say, there are five people who haven't been found."

"But I don't know the collapse of the whole mining area, and I don't know if there are any colleagues in other areas who died." the absentee squad leader sighed.

Lin Wushuang turned back to Xue Shuo and said, "brother Xue, take out the battery and heater. Let's warm up and have a rest first. We'll start later."

It's very tired to go upstream. All bodyguards with good physical strength can't bear it.

Xue Shuo nodded and asked everyone to rest in place. He picked up batteries and heating lamps to warm everyone. Fang Yi took people to catch fish and eat for the new absentees.

"It's nice that you still have a heater."

"And fish. I feel I can live."

The absentees saw the hope when they saw these Buddha release, and thanked Lin Wushuang and his party one after another.

"Hey, we can all survive." the absentee monitor suddenly said, "I told you before that I know where this underground river leads, that is, there is a cave not far in front. I was bored when I was resting before. As long as we can go out, we can survive."

"Go out?" Lin Wushuang grasped the key point. The absentee actually knew the exit of the cave. "How are you sure there is an exit ahead? Have you ever been to this underground river?"

"I didn't come, I just guessed," said the absent monitor, but now he is cold and hungry, and his voice is very weak.

Fortunately, with a heater at this time, my body slowly warmed up. "I love to ride a motorcycle when I'm on vacation. This cave is not only a cave 50 kilometers away from our mine, but also a cave at the bottom of the Grand Canyon."

"When I was playing, I went to the stream to get water to drink. I found that the water from the small stream was slowly flowing into the cave. I was very curious about where the water went from the channel. After all, I saw the water flowing out of the cave before. This time it was inverted."

"Then I went inside, getting darker and darker. One road is still very narrow. I can only go down alone. I used to be brave and liked extreme sports, so I went down."

"I have a deep memory of that road. I can only go down slowly by myself. Where does the water flow down? I walked for about half an hour and finally reached the end. I didn't have to go down, but climbed forward."

"I climbed and climbed, and the road ahead became wider and larger, and then the stream slowly became a small river..."

"It's dark and long inside. I think there's still air. I walked for another half an hour... I heard the sound of fast flowing water. It's completely different from the stream next to me. It seems to be bigger and stronger. My heart for knowledge asked me to continue walking. This time, I came to a fork in the road, and a dark river appeared in front of me..."

"Just like our current river, the current is fast and rapid, and all the streams flow here. I don't dare to go on, so I'll go back the same way."

"I went out and looked at the time. It took me more than three hours to go back and forth."

After listening, Xue Shuo asked, "how are you sure that what you see is this river?"

The person next to him also asked, "yes, how are you sure it's the one you saw? And you said it's 50 kilometers away. How can we get there?"

The monitor said, "if I only know this, naturally I can't be sure, but I can be sure because I know another thing!"

Everyone looked at the monitor.

The monitor seemed to hesitate. After thinking for a long time, he said, "forget it, it's all like this. Let me tell you!"

"After I knew the dark river, I just lamented how magical the world was. However, soon after, I overheard the conversation between the boss and the supervisor. The supervisor told the boss that according to the detection, there was a great danger of collapse in the mining area!"

"What do you mean? The boss knows?" everyone was surprised. It was obvious that they didn't expect this to happen.

The monitor nodded, "the boss knew there was an underground river here. When mining, the company naturally knew what the geology was like here. It was even clear where the underground river started and where the flow path went. It was only at the beginning that the underground river did not threaten the mine."

"However, in the past ten years, with the development of the mine, it is getting deeper and closer to the underground river..."

"In the underground river, the soil is wet and loose, and the collapse will happen sooner or later. At that time, the supervisor was reminding the boss that he could not continue mining."

"But the boss was anxious to transfer the mine development right, so he didn't let us stop work!"

"I'll go!" Fang Yi said angrily, "isn't this deliberately bullying people? If there's no problem, our boss bought the development right and there's a landslide, it's not that our boss lost his wife and lost his soldiers!"

The monitor sighed, "I told you to make you believe me, but you can't say I said it. If I can go out alive, I have to work to support my family."

Xue Shuo nodded, "don't worry, I won't say it. Since there is a landslide in the mining area, I won't want it."

The monitor was relieved and continued, "I just listened to their conversation and knew the source, diversion and direction of the underground river. This is the underground river I saw. As long as we go forward, there must be an exit."
