Chapter 2078: Crossing the River
A group of people came to the underground river.
Facing the turbulent river, I looked around and found that there was no place where I could cross the river directly.
Wang Jinpeng looked at the river and couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
There is only a small beach on their side with many pebbles and stone walls surrounding it.
If you want to find clues, you still have to go to the other side of the river.
The current was so fast that they could not swim through it one by one.
And the width is too wide.
"I'm thinking of a way to cross the river." Lin Ran took a deep breath.
He thought that there was a biological laboratory down there, but the reality was completely different from what he predicted. The underground turned out to be an ancient tomb structure.
Lin Ran took a deep breath and decided to put aside his worries for the time being.
He said to everyone: "Don't be discouraged yet. Sit down and take a rest. I'll go to the river to take a look."
"I'll go with you." Wang Jinpeng couldn't sit still, "Maybe we can find a way to cross the river."
Although they had just rested, everyone was still very tired and sat on the ground.
Liu Jingfeng's face showed a trace of fatigue and worry. It was not a biological laboratory down there, so where did those huge monsters come from?
Lin Ran observed the river water, which was flowing rapidly and suddenly made clear and crisp sounds.
Wang Jinpeng's eyes were bright again. He saw many fish swimming in the clear river water.
It's grass carp, quite big.
"Hey, Brother Lin, how about we get some fish to eat first?"
Looking at the plump fish, Wang Jinpeng could not help but salivate.
"This fish can't be eaten," Lin Ran said.
"why?"
"Have you ever seen such a big grass carp?" Lin Ran asked.
If you look carefully, you can see that these fish are almost the size of domestic cats.
It's not that there aren't such big fish, but it's abnormal for such big fish to cluster together.
After Lin Ran reminded him, Wang Jinpeng suddenly thought of the big rat outside.
"Brother Lin, you mean they are also mutated?"
"It's very possible." Lin Ran was not sure.
As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Even if it is deserted, it will not grow so big.
Wang Jinpeng immediately swallowed his saliva and was so scared after eating this stuff.
He glanced at Lin Ran and said, "Let's forget it. I think the water may have been contaminated."
Wang Jinpeng had already begun to think about retreating. The water looked very clear, but maybe the biggest problem was in the water.
"Actually, if we were to be affected, we were already affected when we crossed the pond." Lin Ran said.
But it's better to keep an eye on everything. Lin Ran didn't dare to swim across the river because he was afraid of monsters in the river.
Lin Ran asked Wang Jinpeng not to mention this matter.
He himself observed the river bank carefully.
Suddenly, he noticed some trees on the cliff, not too far away from them.
If the tree trunks were cut down, a temporary river crossing tool might be built.
He immediately called Xu Ning over. He was the only one who was good at climbing walls.
Xu Ning took a look, took out a machete, and held it in his mouth like a tree climbing over it.
Sit on the tree and chop off the outer part.
His movements seemed skillful and swift.
"There are more over there." Xu Ning said lightly, and then continued to climb over and chop down the tree.
Lin Ran and Wang Jinpeng dragged the wood back from the shore.
"Brother Lin, can you make boats?" Wang Jinpeng asked in surprise. Not everyone can do carpentry.
"People in Xialin Village used to be carpenters, so of course they have learned a little bit."
Lin Ran took out a knife and cut the branches into pieces into appropriate lengths, and then arranged the trees horizontally across each other to form a foundation.
After making sure it was enough for two people, Lin Ran asked Xu Ning to come back and stop working.
Lin Ran took out the rope from his backpack and tightened the knots on several tree trunks.
Confirmed the stability.
Then, he found a slightly thinner tree trunk to use as a paddle.
A small raft is ready.
Seeing Lin Ran's skillful movements, everyone was stunned.
Even if he didn't engage in archeology or open a shop, Lin Ran could still make a good living as a carpenter.
I was able to quickly build a simple raft. Although it was not as good as a serious boat, it was enough to handle the task of crossing the river at hand.
Lin Ran checked the bottom structure to make sure it was strong enough and would not fall apart if it entered the water.
Immediately afterwards, he called Wang Jinpeng over and got to the raft with him first.
The buoyancy of the wood is not enough to support everyone crossing the river at the same time, so they can only do it two by two.
"Be careful." Lin Ran saw Wang Jinpeng jump directly onto the raft, and the whole body of the raft began to shake.
It took a while to maintain balance.
"Okay, now we can cross the river." Lin Ran told Wang Jinpeng, "Remember, keep a balance and don't panic."
Although he was rowing, he was actually teaching Wang Jinpeng how to do it.
Wang Jinpeng smiled broadly and said: "Brother Lin, you are looking down on me. Of course I can row a boat."
As he spoke, he raised the pulp.
Everyone stood on the shore and watched them carefully.
Liu Jingfeng was particularly worried about whether this simple boat could reach the other side safely.
Lin Ran was seen standing on the bow of the boat, using an oar to stabilize the hull, while Wang Jinpeng used another wooden oar to push the boat slowly towards the other side.
There was a slight ripple on the water, and the boat rocked gently in the water.
Lin Ran had to hold on to the wood pulp to keep his balance.
His eyes were always watching the water flow so that he could adjust the direction of the boat in time to ensure the stability of the boat.
Finally, we crossed over the area where the current was most turbulent, and gradually approached the other side, where the current began to slow down again.
Everyone gradually relaxed, because Lin Ran's method was available and they could successfully cross this dark river.
Finally, the boat reached the other shore.
Lin Ran jumped to the shore with a small jump, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jin Peng, go back and pick up Huang Hao and A Ming." Lin Ran estimated everyone's weight. Just now he was mainly testing the weight that the raft can support.
In fact, you can go in groups of three to reduce the number of trips back and forth.
"Hey, Brother Lin, I found that our team is really useless." Wang Jinpeng said with a smile.
Without Lin Ran, they would have never thought of a way to cross the river.
"It's better to cross the river quickly."
Lin Ran didn't feel relaxed. Crossing the river was just the beginning, and there would be unknown dangers next.
Everyone used Lin Ran's method to reach the other side of the underground river one by one.
But when the last group of people came over, the rope could no longer hold up and fell apart instantly.
The remaining wood was also washed away by the river.
Looking at the washed away wood, Wang Jinpeng hesitated to speak. They had no way to go back now.
Lin Ran didn't have such worries.
He felt that Abao's people must have entered the treasure house through other means, perhaps in the cave behind them. However, the cave was located at a high place and they had to climb up a while.
