Chapter 479: Chapter 479 Everyone Gets into the Water
This sentence is indeed unanswerable.
But Lin Yi would rather not go that route; he would rather have everyone die here than let one of his brothers take the risk alone.
But all of this was already a bit too late.
He saw the rope continually slipping downwards.
He glanced at the scale on it, which was now almost at 8 meters.
This meant that the depth of the river was at least over 10 meters.
However, gradually, the sinking speed began to increase.
Lin Yi grew anxious and also had no idea what the situation was like below.
“Bro, what’s going on?”
“If I’m not mistaken, he shouldn’t be sinking anymore; he’s probably moving forward. Look at the speed of the rope—it’s clearly different from before. And also, consider the angle issue.”
The hunter’s observations were still quite meticulous.
After his reminder, Lin Yi carefully recalled and felt that this seemed to be the case.
He silently counted in his head here—one meter, two meters, three meters.
Finally, when the rope had slid down to 27 meters, it seemed to suddenly stop.
He turned around warily to look at the hunter.
Of course, the hunter had been paying attention to this the whole time.
However, he noticed that the entire river surface was calm and quiet, with no ripples at all.
“Don’t worry, I guess he must have found the spot.”
No sooner had he spoken than the red light started flashing.
“Quick, hurry up, pull it back.”
Lin Yi shouted loudly, then the two of them grabbed the rope tightly and began to quickly reel it back in.
During this process, there was no such obstacle.
It even felt like the rope was being pulled up rather smoothly.
Finally, they saw Hei Lang emerge from the river surface, showing his head.
Excited, Hei Lang just waved at them.
The two men sped up once more.
“Hei Lang, are you alright?”
When Hei Lang climbed up the bank, Lin Yi asked nervously.
Hei Lang simply wiped his face with a hand, then spat a mouthful of water out.
“Big brother, how long was I down there?”
“I just checked, roughly, a full seven minutes.”
“Seven minutes, that’s about the limit. Any longer and I probably couldn’t have held on.”
“So, what’s the situation down there?”
“Big brother, just like you said, after going down about 7 meters, I found I couldn’t go any further, and then I started swimming forward.”
“And then?”
“After swimming for a while, I saw some light coming through, so I started swimming upwards, and sure enough, there seems to be a space there where we can get through.”
“What else did you see over there?”
“That’s all; I didn’t dare linger there any longer, so I hurriedly pressed this communicator and came over to report to you the situation below.”
“Bro, what do you think about this?”
“My guess is pretty much the same. If so, it seems we all have to enter this river to leave here successfully.”
“Is there really no other way?
The hunter just helplessly shook his head.
“Is it dangerous down there?”@@novelbin@@
“The water flow is very gentle, just like a dead pool, there’s really no danger at all.”
“So, roughly, how long do we need to hold our breath?”
“For me, it was a round trip. A round trip took a bit over 7 minutes, so in at most 4 minutes, we should be able to get across.”
“Alright, if that’s the case, it seems we have to go in together.”
“Big brother, I’m fine, it depends on the condition of your wounds now.”
“It’s OK, a little water on the wound, and then after we get across, we can take other remedial measures. Don’t worry about that, bro, are you OK?”
“I’m definitely fine. Not just holding my breath for 4 minutes, but 6, 7 minutes would also not be a big problem.”
“Ling’er, what about you?”
“Me? I should be able to, I think.”
“Don’t worry, I have a little piece of equipment here.”
As if he suddenly remembered something, Hei Lang bent over and took out a very small bottle from his backpack.
“What is this?”
“This is an emergency oxygen bottle I prepared in advance, but it doesn’t contain much oxygen, only enough for one person to use.”
“Oh, I see. OK, Ling’er, take this, and if you really can’t hold on, open the valve. Then you’ll be able to breathe freely.”
“But, isn’t that somewhat inappropriate?”
Ling’er just felt that this should be someone’s life-saving tool, and if it were wasted by her, it would seem somewhat unjustifiable.
“What are we waiting for? Don’t beat around the bush. As long as we leave this place safely, I believe we can escape from this cave.”
“OK, I understand. Bro, let’s start carrying out our tasks. Hei Lang, bring over all the ropes and join them. Then the four of us can be connected together.”
“Big brother, I think it’s best not to be linked together.”
As Hei Lang said this, Lin Yi frowned slightly, feeling that there was nothing wrong with what he had said.
But why would he say that?
“Hei Lang, what do you mean?”
“No offense, but if we were really connected together, in the end, if one person gets in trouble, I’m afraid it would affect everyone, and we might not even have the chance to rescue them.”
Lin Yi truly had no experience with wilderness survival.
He felt that there might be some logic to what was being said.
But for safety’s sake, he still sought the hunter’s opinion.
“That’s right, your brother has a point. We can’t possibly all be connected; we need to go separately. We just have to hold on to each other’s ropes, and that will serve as a support. We can’t do anything beyond that.”
What do you think?
