Jump into sea to escape

We jump into water one by one as arranged. Very soon, we are all under water. With the protection from our total sealing uniforms, everybody can walk safely under water. Since everybody has oxygen candy in mouth, everybody has enough oxygen.

The underground river is very complex. The river bed is up and down frequently. Sometime, we walk towards a concave ground. Sometimes, we walk with upper bodies above water.

After walking for a while, our troop stops. The action leader informs us from our communication system that there is a huge hollow in front.

We move slowly forward until we are all at the edge of the huge hollow.

"Wait for a while. A smart robot will dive crossing the huge hollow. He will fasten a connecting belt on the other side of the hollow. After fastening both ends of the connecting belt, we can cross the hollow by holding the belt." The action leader tells us.

Not long later, a connecting belt is there to support us to cross the hollow.

"OK, thanks to our smart robot. The connecting belt has been fastened. Let us go and cross the hollow one by one." The action leader tells in our communication system.

"This connecting belt is simple and useful. We can hold it to cross the underwater hollow. It saves us a lot of troubles." Mei says with satisfaction.

One by one, we all cross the underwater hollow successfully.

After a short rest, we continue our underwater journey. At this time, I can feel that the running water is faster and faster. The water pushes me moving forward. Thanks to the connecting belts to connect all of us all together. Otherwise, one person could be flush away by the running water.

Later, we come across a cross section with two directions to go. We have to have a meeting to determine which way we should take.

"In front of us, there are two ways to go. Which way should we take?" Asks the action leader.

"Let us select a bigger one. At least, the exit could be bigger." Tony gives his suggestion and we all agree.

We continue our underwater journey by selecting a bigger river bed. After walking underwater for another five km, there is a light appearing in front.

"Look! There is light in front. It must come from an exit." The action leader encourages us moving forward.

"Let us give the last try! An exit is in front of us. We are saved." Lily yells to us after hearing the voice from the action leader.

We move faster towards the light. Very soon, we find an opening in front while our upper bodies are above water. We reach the opening finally and are surprise to see the situation.

The opening is on a high cliff and it is about 500 meters above sea level.

The running water falls onto sea from the opening on the cliff. Under the sun shine, it forms a colorful waterfall. The waterfall is surrounded by colorful rainbow. The sound created by falling water colliding with sea propagates to a far distance.

"What should we do next? The opening is too high above sea level. How could we leave here?" Asks the action leader.

"No matter what, we cannot go back." Replies Tony.

"Maybe be we can go back half way and take another river bed to get to another exit." Replies Lily.

"Actually, there is no need to go back. Look! There is another waterfall over there. It must come from the smaller bypass flow. That opening is also so far away from sea level." Mei tells us while pointing to far distance. We all agree to her analysis.

"If this opening is not OK and that opening is also not OK, we are stuck in here." Says Sam.

"There is a way to escape here. But it is risky." I tell everybody.

"What is it? Tell us more about your idea." Asks Mei.

"I tried it last time when I went to search for those missing persons from earth. Under such circumstance, we have to try it again." I reply.

"Tell us more about the plan." Lily says in a hurry.

"First of all, everybody puts an oxygen candy in mouth and wear the sealing mask. In this way, even if we lose our consciousness, we can still have enough oxygen to support us." I reply.

"I will lose consciousness. It scares me to death." Mei replies as soon as hearing my introduction.

"Do not interrupt. Let him continue." Says Tony.

"With oxygen candy, sealing mask and sealing uniform, everybody should jump into the sea below." I say.

"And then?" Asks Sam.

"And then, everybody should be connected with one smart robot or robot tiger. When we lose our consciousness, our smart robots and robot tigers will swim towards a nearby beach with us. Last time, I was rescued by our smart robot by this way. When I woke up, I was in a beach." I finish my introduction. Upon hearing my suggestion, everybody falls into silence.

At last, the action leader breaks the silence.

"OK, it seems to me that we have no other alternatives. We have to take this method to escape here. No matter what, even if we will lose our consciousness, we can still be rescued. Having something good is better than having nothing at all." Says the action leader.

After a long consideration, everybody agrees to take this rescuing action.

"One more thing to remind everybody. In order to avoid collision in the whole process, let us jump out one by one in an interval of five minutes. In this way, the previous one could be pulled away by the accompanying smart robot or robot tiger. In this way, the following one will not jump onto the previous one." I tell everybody. All agree.

"OK. If everybody agrees with me, let our action leader to jump first. Then, one after one, I will be the last one." I give another suggestion and all agree.

"OK, let me jump first and good luck to everybody. See you on beach." After yelling to us, the action leader jumps with a smart robot. Since the opening is too high away from sea level and the waterfall blocks our view, we cannot see the action leader dropping into sea.

Five minutes later, Tony jumps with another smart robot.

"Lily, it is your turn now. You will be fine." Five minutes later, I encourage Lily after seeing her not jumping.

"It is too high! I cannot jump! I just cannot!" Lily cries.

"No need to worry, Lily. You will be accompanied by a smart robot. The robot will rescue you to the beach nearby." I console Lily.

"Do not worry. Let me jump with you." Sam consoles Lily.

"It is good. You can jump as a couple. It could help in mind. Lily, you can stand on the left side of the smart robot and Sam, you can stand on the right side of the robot. Both of you can jump with the smart robot at the same time. Since the opening is not that big, only one smart robot can jump with two of you. One smart robot can rescue both of you, no questions about that." I console both of them.

As my arrangement, Lily and Sam jump into blue sky with one smart robot. They fall into sea with waterfall.

Upon seeing Lily and Sam jumping out, Mei is nervous. Next, it is her time to jump.

"Mei, it is your turn. No need to worry. You will be fine." I console Mei.

"I am still nervous. I cannot control it. Let us jump together just like Lily and Sam." Mei tells me.

"OK, no problem about that. Let us jump together like Lily and Sam. Do not look down. Just look your front and walk towards the blue sky. We will drop into sea together." I tell Mei.

"OK, I will follow it. How about the rest of smart robots and robot tigers?" Mei asks.

"No need to worry about it. They will jump out one by one in the interval of five minutes." I tell Mei.

In the middle of blue sky, Mei, a smart robot and I walk forward together. After going out of the opening, I lose my consciousness.

When I wake up, I find Lily, Mei, Tony, Sam and the action leader lie nearby. Our smart robots and robot tigers stand nearby to protect us.

I am too tired and sleep again.

When I wake up again, I find Lily, Mei and the action leader sitting around a wild fire. Tony and Sam still sleep.

Upon seeing my waking up, Mei invites me to join them.

Mei gives me a cup of hot soup. I join their conversation while after drinking the soup.

"I must thank you for jumping with me together. Otherwise, I will not be here." Mei thanks me with smile.

"You are welcome. I am glad to see you here again. I am glad to see everybody being fine here again." I reply to Mei with smile.

"I was the first one to come down. I was the first one to wake up. I checked all of you by my portable device. All of your health were OK. All of you just needed more sleep since all of you were to tired. I did not wake you up." Says the action leader.

"I lost my consciousness immediately after touching the sea water. When I woke up, I was on the beach. Everything to me was smooth." I reply with smile.

"I lost my consciousness immediately after jumping out. When I woke up, I was on the beach. Everything to me was smooth, too." Mei says with smile.

"I had the same experience as Mei's." Lily says with smile.

"Maybe I am very strong. After dropping into water, I woke up when I was pulled by our smart robot. I actual witnessed a underwater fighting between our smart robots, robot tigers and those fish animals. Thanks to our robots and robot tigers. They defeated those attackers underwater." Says the action leader.

"Really, there was an underwater fight. Tell us more about it." Lily asks in a hurry.

After drinking some hot soup, the action leader tells us the story.

"After jumping into water, our smart robots and robot tigers pulled us forward underwater. Very soon, our underwater troop came across three fish monsters. In the very beginning, those fish monsters just blocked our way to the beach. They did not attack us actively. Upon seeing this, our smart robots and robot tigers tried to go around to reach the beach. At this time, those fish monsters launched the attack from three different directions. In order to defeat those fish monsters, three of our smart robots fought with three fish monsters. The other smart robots and robot tigers surrounded us to protect us. Very soon, three robot tigers joined the battle to attack those fish monsters. Finally, those fish monsters were defeated and we were all on beach." The action leader tells us.

We are all impressed after hearing the story from the action leader. We all thank our smart robots and robot tigers.

At this time, Tony and Sam wake up. They join us and have cups of hot soup.

"Let us watch the automatic video recording from our smart robots. We can see more details." I suggest.

Very soon, we see more details about the underwater battle from the automatic video recording installed inside our smart robots.

"It is amazing. This is a huge underwater battle." Tony says after watching the video recording.

"This is a battle movie, just needing more editing." Lily comments after watching the recording.

"We all lost consciousness except the action leader. Did you scare yourself upon witnessing the underwater battle?" Lily asks the action leader.

"Tell you the truth. I was not afraid of the battle. I was sure that our smart robots and robot tigers could defeat those fish monsters." Replies the action leader.

"According to your watching, was there any chance for those fish monsters to attack us closely?" I asks.

"Yes, there was a chance for two fish monsters to swallow Mei, narrow missing." Replies the action leader.

"Really? What happened next?" Asks Lily.

"Next? Two of our smart robots launched counter-attack to fight those two fish monsters. Mei was OK after our smart robots launched counter-attack." Replies the action leader.

"Any other risks?" Asks Tony.

"No, our smart robots and robot tigers could protect us strongly. Those fish monsters had no more chances to get closer to us." Replies the action leader.

"No matter on land or in sea, we can really trust our smart robots and robot tigers to provide us strong protections." I say. Others agree.

"By the way, I have informed our mother spaceship that we are fine and will continue our journey." Says the action leader.

After drying our clothes, we have our dinner prepared by Lily and Mei. We sleep around the wild fire while our smart robots and robot tigers stand nearby to protect us.
