Chapter 178 Smoking Can Save Lives

The three of us prayed silently in our hearts, don't make trouble, hope he can come up quickly and smoothly, the sky is getting dark, we are all hungry, tired and hungry, Xiaolei's condition must not be good either. Wherever he goes, if there is another accident, if nothing else, he will face a huge physical challenge.

But what happened next went surprisingly smoothly. It only took Xiaolei more than half an hour to climb up from the bottom. Although he looked a little tired, his overall condition was pretty good.

There was still a little food and water in the backpack. They took it out and shared it with everyone. Xiao Lei insisted that he should have the least. He said that he had received wilderness survival training. If he was too hungry and couldn't bear it, he would know how to hunt wild animals. Du Hongmei wanted to give him more, and we argued for a while. Sister Li and I smiled tacitly at the side. It seemed that their relationship was heating up very quickly.

Because it was getting dark, we didn’t dare to stay any longer and headed down the mountain all night. It had rained heavily two days ago, so there was a faint musty and earthy smell in the night air, which was so unpleasant in some places. There was still water and the stones were slippery. It was very difficult for us to walk. When we came during the day, we didn’t find it so difficult. That might be because we had enough strength during the day, but now it didn’t feel that way at all. Similarly, although there is a flashlight, it is naturally incomparable with the natural light during the day, and besides, it is a bit too tiring.

Except for Xiao Lei, all of us have fallen down several times. What’s worse is that when I fell, I also broke my flashlight. This is good, there are two flashlights in total, and now only Xiao Lei is left. The one in Lei's hand was gone, which made the journey even more difficult. Finally, after discussion, we decided to set up a tent and stay in the mountains for another night until dawn tomorrow. Given our current situation, it was really impossible. Then walked down.

After choosing a suitable location, we set up the tent. Just like last time, the two men took turns on duty, so the two women could sleep peacefully.

Xiaolei saw that my physical strength was really low, so he let me sleep first and let him sleep in the middle of the night. Although I was thirsty and hungry, the fatigue that came over me like a tide still made me fall asleep quickly.

When it was my turn to be on duty, I looked at my watch and saw that it was already two o'clock in the morning. I was supposed to change my shift at one o'clock, but Xiaolei let me sleep for an extra hour. I felt grateful and warm again.

Xiao Lei seemed to be too tired and his voice was a little hoarse. I asked him to quickly go into the tent and sleep. Then I got out of the tent and applied some mosquito repellent on my body and face. The sky outside was full of stars and cloudless, except for bugs. Low humming, and the occasional sound of unknown animals walking in the grass, everything seemed so quiet.

After a while, the wind seemed to pick up, and the branches squeaked in the wind. The summer night in the mountains felt a bit like "the coolness comes in the middle of the night." I pulled the zipper of my jacket, shrank my neck, and let it go. After soaking in urine, I felt much more relaxed. Because I had just woken up, I was quite energetic.

With nothing to do, I lit a cigarette and started thinking about everything I encountered in the valley in the past two days. Who broke the rope we tied to the tree? Was it the monster, or the blind man Gao, or the blind man Gao? The injury hasn't healed yet, and there are so many of us, so he deliberately avoids us and doesn't dare to confront us head-on? Then where will he be hiding?

After thinking about it for a long time, I still don’t have any clue. Forget it, I don’t think about it so much anymore. Let my brain rest and have a long-term plan when I get back.

I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I hadn’t had a bowel movement for more than two days. My stomach was a little bloated. I looked around and wanted to find a suitable place to relieve myself. This place was still near the valley. I didn’t dare to be careless. I reminded myself that I should always relieve my bowels. Be wary of sneak attacks by tall blind people. Look at a low-lying pit not far away and think it is a good place. In an environment where people may be attacked at any time, the most natural reaction is often to hope to find a wall or tree. , or something else to lean on, because only with your back against a shelter can you feel safe, and in that pit, you will feel safer than on the flat ground, which is a kind of cover.

In addition, because the tent is at a high place, you should be able to see the tent just right when you squat in the pit. Moreover, the location of our tent was chosen very well. It is in a recessed part of the mountain wall, with mountains behind and above it. Due to the protection, if anyone wants to get close to the tent, they can only come from the side I can see.

After choosing the place, I no longer hesitated, immediately walked into the pit and squatted down while smoking a cigarette.

My life is very regular, and I have to defecate at least twice a day. This is the first time in so many years that I have not had a bowel movement for such a long time, so my body seems to be very uncomfortable with it. I seem to be a little constipated. Although I feel uncomfortable holding it in, I still squat. After it comes down, it cannot be pulled down immediately.

Take a deep breath, tighten your abdominal muscles, and try to push it out. Maybe the force is a bit too strong, and I feel a little dizzy. I read that many cerebral hemorrhages are caused by straining during defecation. It seems that the process of defecation is really very taxing on the brain. The pressure in the head increased, making people feel dizzy, but soon I felt something was wrong, because the cigarette in my mouth could not be smoked no matter how much I smoked, and it seemed to be slowly extinguishing. I suddenly realized that something was wrong, this pit and the valley It was the same as the one I encountered, extremely hypoxic.

The process of gas poisoning is the most dangerous. Unlike when you touch a needle, you will immediately know what is going on and retract your hand immediately. At the beginning of gas poisoning, you will often feel dizzy and weak. When you try to escape, , but has no strength, will soon lose consciousness, and will suffocate to death soon after.

I originally thought that my reaction was quick enough, and I wanted to pick up my pants and crawl out immediately, but it was already too late. I only felt that my legs were weak, I had no strength at all, my eyelids were fighting, and I felt like I just wanted to sleep, but Deep in my heart, I had only one vague thought: I must not fall asleep or fall down. If I fall down, I will definitely die.

I wanted to shout for help, but I couldn't open my mouth to make a sound. When my consciousness became increasingly blurred, I suddenly thought of a way to save my life. I stretched my hand to my waist, then fumbled for a button on the intercom, and then used just After some effort, he twisted it and lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, I vaguely felt that someone was blowing into my mouth and pinching my nose from time to time. I groaned in pain. After a long time, I finally regained consciousness. I found Hongmei, Xiaolei, and Sister Li surrounding me. Sister Li was already crying like a woman.

It was the same feeling as the last time I was in the pit in the valley. My head still hurt like a split, and my whole body was so soft that I had no strength at all. The three of them carried me to the tent, and then helped me change into dry clothes. Hongmei was special After massaging my acupuncture points for a while, I basically returned to normal.

I couldn't help but blush a little when I thought about the way I was carried out of the pit by them. After being questioned by the three of them, I told them everything that had just happened.

After hearing this, Xiao Lei couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that smoking is also good. If you didn't smoke, you would definitely not realize the lack of oxygen in the pit so quickly, and you wouldn't react in the shortest time. "It's more dangerous this time. If you had taken action a few seconds later, you might have been lying there forever."

I also smiled bitterly and said: "Thanks to your special walkie-talkie, if there was no emergency button, I would be dead." I said this from the bottom of my heart, because that walkie-talkie is indeed different from ordinary ones. There is a special button on it. As long as you open the cover and twist it gently, the other party's walkie-talkie will sound a sharp alarm. It is this function that saved my life.

When everything returned to calm, Xiao Lei's eyes were already filled with bloodshot eyes. Sister Li and Hongmei had been sleeping for several hours, so they unanimously requested that they be replaced on duty so that Xiao Lei and I could take a nap quickly.

When Xiaolei and I woke up, it was already past nine in the morning, and the sun had already risen high. Sister Li and Hongmei got some wild fruits for us to satisfy our hunger. There is still strength in numbers, and there are more people. The ability to resist risks is also strong.

While eating, we all discussed everything that happened last night.

I'm lucky. I've been in danger several times in just two days, especially the two gas poisonings. I really wandered around the door of the Lord of Hell a few times. In addition, if Hongmei hadn't studied medicine this time, he would have given me in time. With professional artificial respiration, I'm afraid it would be difficult to save my life even if I were lifted into the pit.

Another point that puzzles us is why there are so many "hypoxic pits" suddenly appearing in the mountains. We may not find it strange that there are such pits in the valley, but there are such pits even in the mountains outside the valley. This is a bit surprising. Could it be related to the chain reaction caused by the crack?

We decided that before leaving, we should take a closer look at the pit where I was in trouble last night.

But what made us feel extremely strange was that when we looked for the pit near the tent, it disappeared without a trace. Did we remember the wrong location? We looked around again, but there was nothing there. There was a pit, but we all clearly remember that the pit was four to five meters in diameter, and seemed to be a very regular cone shape, almost two meters deep. How could such a big pit just disappear?

We couldn't stay in the mountains anymore this time, so we went back first. We finally reached the foot of the mountain, hired a car, and finally returned to the county town. This time we were planning to kill Blind Man Gao, but he didn't even see his shadow. Now, it was just a few of us who encountered many dangers and almost lost our lives.
