Luo Nan instinctively panicked upon encountering an accident, but he soon calmed down. Basically, the most difficult way for him to die was to be electrocuted to death. The other was to drown to death.
Of course, the most miserable way for him to die was to be electrocuted to death or drowned to death.
In any case, his mental senses were already focused, and he immediately confirmed that the small boat had encountered a car accident. No, it was a boat accident.
The small boat had collided with a stalagmite that had sunk to the bottom of the water. As for why it collided, it was because the stalagmite that had sunk to the bottom of the water had suddenly bounced up when the small boat passed by. The top of the stalagmite had risen, and the small boat's navigation system had made a mistake in its judgment. The small boat was unable to dodge in time.
Looking into the cause of the accident, the relatively gentle waterway did not have any strong turbulence in the water. The stalagmite had moved on its own. Could it be that the distortion of the Wilderness had caused the stalagmite to become a spirit?
Then Luo Nan saw that the front end of the stalagmite and the small boat had already cracked open for some unknown reason. Large amounts of water poured in, and there were flickering electric flames jumping inside. However, the flames were soon extinguished.
Luo Nan's mental senses were limited by the precision of his senses. Without the support of special techniques, it was not enough to naturally penetrate the completely sealed opaque barrier. But it was different if a hole was opened.
Oh my, this is truly a pleasant surprise.
Luo Nan reached out and slapped the cover. Since the outside of the small boat was still underwater, the cover adhered to its own mission under the control of the system. It firmly sealed itself. This was not a problem for Luo Nan. The external neuron poked at the system, and the cover ignored the surging river water and opened on its own.
Luo Nan shivered from the shock of the ice-cold river water. However, not a single drop of water seeped in, aside from the transmission of the chill. This was because he had utilized the Condensation Ring to fully control the water molecules, forming a thin and tough water membrane to protect the effects of his disguise.
And so, Luo Nan followed the surging flow of water out of the small boat's cabin. The small boat had already moved forward a few dozen meters crookedly with the flow of water. He still needed to turn back.
He hadn't deliberately practiced swimming, but the sensor network built on the foundation of the Condensation Ring made him very sensitive to the details of the flow of water. Coupled with his outstanding body coordination, he found the feeling after just a few strokes in the water. The water was turbid and dark, but it was as easy as reading lines on his palm. Soon, he came to the side of the damaged "stalagmite" that was jumping.
He gave it a push without any hope at all. Sure enough, even if the inside was hollow, the weight was quite heavy. At the very least, Luo Nan had no way of dragging it away. Luo Nan looked at the glimmer of light that still flickered within the fissure. He said to himself, "It's up to your luck." His soul strength interfered with the external neuron, forming an interference wave that swept across the control system within the stalagmite. A second later, a crack appeared in the middle of the "stalagmite". The water that was supposed to rush in was strangely turned back and churned, as if there was an invisible wall that could not be penetrated.
It was under these circumstances that the door on the "stalagmite" was able to break free from the heavy water pressure for a short period of time. It opened normally, and Luo Nan saw the transparent environment inside. He didn't go in. The door was far too small. Even his immature body of a youth would find it hard to squeeze in.
With a slight thought, the water that had been blocked outside the door swirled and surged in. It was like an iron wok in the hands of a chef. It performed a unique skill similar to a flipping ladle. It dipped inside the "stalagmite", and when it surged out again, it carried a small human body with it. The human body moved at an appropriate angle, avoiding the damage that might come from the door's collision.
Perfect!
It was just as Luo Nan's mental senses had predicted. This was a child that was at most five or six years old. He was about the same age as the little bastard from Worker Zhai's family. The child's face was already warped with panic and fear due to the series of unforeseen events. But even so, he still opened his eyes wide, doing his best to distinguish the surrounding environment after the series of unforeseen events. He was very different from his peers who closed their eyes and cried for their mothers.
"Let's go!" Luo Nan grabbed the child by the back of his collar and turned around to chase after the small boat that had been washed several hundred meters away by the current. Then he saw the target that had sunk to the bottom of the river full of water, unable to rise again.
This really was a sad story.
Luo Nan shook his head and turned to look at the little fellow in his hand. Then he saw the pair of eyes that were doing their best to open wide … … The premise for the little fellow to be able to do this was that Luo Nan had already used the Condensation Ring to filter the water, creating a breathing, aerobic environment. Perhaps the little fellow already felt that there was no need to worry about his survival, but he did his best to look over. His panic and fear began to settle, and his brows were still furrowed. He really did look like a precocious boy.
If this wasn't the case, it would have been impossible for him to drive a small submarine disguised as a stalagmite through the waterway. In addition, this child's body … …
Tonight was truly an eventful night.
At this time, Luo Nan naturally forgot that he was the one who started everything. He was the legendary instigator of all this. Luo Nan walked forward in the waterway for nearly a kilometer before he finally left this section of the underground waterway. Then he found a relatively flat riverbank and climbed up while carrying the little fellow.
Illumination appeared once more here, reflecting the blurry outlines of the surrounding karst cave. The U-hole Market paid more attention to the construction of basic facilities, but no matter how much attention they paid, they couldn't withstand the appearance of accidents.
"I'll compensate you." Luo Nan still hadn't thought of how to communicate with the precocious boy in his hand, but the boy took the initiative to express his attitude. Other than his voice being a bit shaky, everything else was quite good.
After all, he was soaked in water. He wasn't like Luo Nan. His entire body was dry. It was as if he had swum in a fake waterway.
Luo Nan blurted out a sentence: "That small boat isn't mine anyways."
Crap. He forgot to change his voice. Also, the moves he made earlier seemed to be all on the mental side … …
Right when Luo Nan suddenly woke up and was vexed, the precocious boy went, "Oh." Then he actually didn't say anything else.
Luo Nan turned his head to look curiously. He saw the little boy turn his head to size up the surroundings. Then he raised his right arm to look at the projected virtual screen. A detailed map of the karst cave's waterway was displayed on the screen.
Fine. His plan to sell the map could be scrapped.
Luo Nan sighed soundlessly. He deliberately suppressed his voice and said: "Do you know how to get there?"
The little boy raised his head to glance at him: "Cave 47 is surrounded by water."
"Oh."
"......"
Luo Nan finally understood when he saw the gaze the little boy cast over: So it turns out I'm the one doing it.
It was rare for him to meet someone younger than him. Luo Nan wanted to tease the little boy a bit. He imitated the tone of a cold-blooded killer in the movies: "In this era, labor costs are the most expensive. “
Luo Nan's gaze shot towards the little boy's right hand as he spoke. The temperature in Spring City at the end of April wasn't low. The little boy wore a small cashmere glove on his hand. The sleeve of the glove covered his entire right arm tightly.
The little fellow was very sensitive. He lowered his raised right arm.
Luo Nan felt that he was being a bit rude, so he stopped teasing the little boy: "Forget it. Let's go. Even if you're being kind, you need to finish what you started."
He didn't ask the little boy about the map anymore. Even though he didn't know what cave 47 and cave 57 were, he had an entire set of water maps of the karst cave terrain in his mind. He was very clear that he just needed to head east and cross a secret underwater passage to enter the 'cave' market. '
There was a small trading market at the edge of the Cave Market. It was naturally convenient to go there.
He grabbed the little fellow's collar out of habit and prepared to head east. Who knew that the little fellow would struggle: "Go that way."
The little boy used his left hand to point in the direction they came from.
"Go back?"
"There's still a long way to go to the market. The return trip is even shorter."
Are you bullying me for not having a map?
Luo Nan was amused. He thought about the cause and effect of encountering this little boy and a guess blurted out: "Kid, you didn't run away from home did you?"
"I didn't." The little boy firmly refuted. His round eyes didn't even blink. He had a clear conscience.
"Hehe." Luo Nan was just about to expose his lie when his sensory network captured a change in the river. He simply crossed his arms and didn't move. "Then let's wait a bit longer. I have a premonition that the adults of your family will come looking for us soon."
The little boy's eyes suddenly flashed. He clearly became nervous. His body still wanted to shrink back, but Luo Nan reached out and grabbed him by the collar. Luo Nan calmly sized up the little boy a few more times after locking him in place. He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and suddenly increased his volume. He shouted with abundant energy:
"Hello. Is there anyone here? Help! There's someone trapped here. There's a child among them. "
The little boy was stupefied the instant Luo Nan shouted. He soon began to struggle violently. But how could he compete with Luo Nan, who already had considerable accomplishments in the fleshly body? Extending his arms and kicking his legs, twisting his waist and shaking his shoulders were of no use. In the end, the little boy couldn't take it anymore. He let loose a torrent of curses:
"You idiot! Do you want to die?"
Kids these days really weren't cute.
Luo Nan touched the hood of the cloak that covered his face. He turned to look at the little boy's flushed face and the fact that he couldn't continue after spitting out the profanity. He couldn't vent his anger and panic, but he didn't get angry from being offended.
This showed that Luo Nan had a good personality … … Forget it. Luo Nan didn't deny that the little boy and the people on the small boat sailing over from the distant waterway had their emotions suddenly fluctuate after hearing Luo Nan's shout. The color and structure of their emotions had more or less made Luo Nan pay attention to them.
However, it was too late to say anything now. The waterway was soon illuminated by bright spotlights. The strong light pushed the shadows of the stalagmites in the water, rocking this isolated karst cave.
Far away in the waterway, two small boats that were exactly the same as the ones sunk to the bottom of the waterway. They sailed over from the waterway one after the other.
Yep, there was a third one underwater.
The small boat was still some distance away from this place, but someone was already shouting on the boat: "Polio, is that you?"
No one answered.
The person on the boat continued to shout loudly: "Friend over there. Look after the child. We're almost there."
"You're quite polite." Luo Nan faced the little boy with a smile, still grabbing him by the collar. He really did look after the boy.
The little boy glared fiercely at Luo Nan and cursed with a hoarse voice: "You idiot!"
"This cloak and hat is really quite stupid. Oh right, you're called Polio. What's your nickname? "
"Idiot!"
