Chapter 448: Underwater Operations (1)
In addition to these heavy machinery, those small pickup trucks that we found earlier are also there.
However, the path we had created for these pickups had become impassable due to weeds and broken trees, so we planned to continue walking.
Along the way, I've been paying close attention to the island's environment.
The climate is much more pleasant now than it was when we were on the island, and now that the island is free of dangerous animals, it seems like a smart move for us to move back here.
We stopped near Little Rock Mountain Camp for five minutes before continuing our journey towards the Grand Canyon.
The journey was still going well, and we felt like we were back on the island in a trance.
Build camps, go out hunting and foraging, patrol......
Ouyang Jingjing has also been praising the environment on the island non-stop.
When we arrived at the Grand Canyon, it was already early afternoon.
I saw that the Grand Canyon was still filled with sea water as before, and the underground buildings were naturally still submerged.
However, the bodies of the Salvation Army and the members of the Blue Bird Company on the edge of the Grand Canyon that I saw last time are gone, presumably taken by wild beasts.
Among those of us, the person who is most familiar with the environment on this island is actually Du Yue, she has told me before that there are many hidden storage places on this island, including my previous underwater nail gun, which was also found by Du Yue.
Now we have to do another dive operation, so this nail gun is still indispensable.
After all, our combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced underwater, and those unknown creatures in the ocean will pose a huge threat to us.
What's more, in addition to our own safety, we also need lighting, which is an underwater flashlight, and although I don't need this thing now for night vision, others can't.
We followed Du Yue along the edge of the Grand Canyon for some distance, and after empturing several storage places in a row, we finally found a hidden place that had not been ransacked.
We found a dozen nail guns and waterproof flashlights, as well as plenty of steel nails.
Except for Ouyang Shuo and Ouyang Jingjing, I equipped everyone with nail guns.
Needless to say, Ouyang Jingjing is an ordinary person's physique and can't dive for a long time.
Although Ouyang Shuo's physique has been modified by the Blue Bird Company, I have said before that he seems to be somewhat different from us in nature, and I have also confirmed with him that he can't breathe underwater like us.
Therefore, my name is Ouyang Shuo and Ouyang Jingjing, and we will be waiting for us above the Grand Canyon later.
In addition, I thought about it in the end, and felt that if only the two of them were left on top, the number of people seemed to be smaller, so I asked Lin Hai to stay on top as well.
Lin Hai actually agreed immediately, and it could be seen that he didn't seem to be very concerned about finding medicine this time, and he was obviously more anxious to go to Myanmar.
Equipped with nail guns and waterproof flashlights, we arrived at the entrance to the basement building.
I had already been to this place the second time I had returned to the island with the Nikites, when a large gap had been blown open, and now the situation was the same as the last time, when we stood at the gap and looked down, all we could see was the black hole in the water, and we could faintly see some fish swimming in it.
Me, Amy, Xia Ran, and Du Yue took off their coats one after another, and everyone went into battle lightly, each holding a nail gun in their right hand, a close-range blade in their left hand, and squatting on the edge of the gap with a flashlight in their mouths.
I began to give the three of them a final instruction, I told Amy and Xia Ran to follow Du Yue all the way after they got into the water later, after all, the terrain below is only Du Yue is the most familiar, in case you get lost below, maybe you can't find a way out.
In addition, we also agreed on a few gestures in advance, including forward, retreat, distress, finding the situation, etc., and then I was the first to jump into the water to try, and after making sure it was safe, Du Yue and the others jumped off one after another.
The water level now seems to be much higher than before, and the water in the basement building used to reach the second floor, but now it has almost completely flooded the entire building.
Fortunately, the building was made of extremely strong materials, and although it had been immersed in the sea for so long, I found that everything was intact except for a few notches that were clearly blown by the bomb.
Although I can have night vision, I still pin a flashlight to my waist to prevent accidents.
The four of us began to dive down to the next level.
It was only a short distance before I discovered something new.
As I said before, the corpses left on the land are gone, but ...... The corpses under the water did not disappear.
I saw about a dozen human corpses sunken in the second floor, and the appearance of these corpses was ...... It can only be described as unsightly.
But even so, I forced myself to take a closer look at the feeling of nausea, mainly to see what these people were wearing.
Sure enough, it was the corpses of the Salvation Army and the Blue Bird Company.
What amazes me is that these corpses look like they have been dead for a long time, and many of them have begun to ossify, and even if they are not ossified, they are all kinds of internal organs turned out, and the corpses are swollen, in short, they are as disgusting as they are.
I scanned around again, and found that the corpses seemed to have some gunshot marks, and some of them still had steel nails from nail guns on them.
This shows that there was a fight between two groups of people not only on the upper side, but also underwater.
At this time, Du Yue patted me and motioned for us to continue to follow her.
We started to dive down.
It looked like it had gone down four or five floors in a row, and the corpses had never been broken, and the further down they went, the more they seemed to be.
From this, I also began to worry, this underwater battle is so fierce, will the finale medicine have already been taken away?
After swimming all the way and stopping, and after going down more than a dozen floors in a row, Du Yue suddenly reached out and pulled us all along.
Then I saw Du Yue point to the position directly opposite me.
I saw a twisted door.
I immediately recognized this place......
This is where I took those "Z-virus samples" the last time I dived down with Du Yue! We were attacked by a big monster fish here.
And Du Yue has long said that the finale medicine is put together with these samples, which means that we have reached our destination.
I suddenly found myself in a heartbeat, a bit like a nervous feeling before the answer was revealed, and if the medicine was there, then the problem would be solved.
If the medicine is not available...... Then we're in big trouble!
Du Yue and I took the lead and swam forward, and soon reached the door, on which you could still see the marks left by the big monster fish after the impact, and of course, there were some human corpses floating in the water on this layer.
Du Yue tried to push the door, but found that it couldn't be opened, so I stepped forward and slammed it hard, and the door was opened by me.
It turned out that the inside of this door was actually beaten to death with a steel rod, and I used too much force just now, and directly bent the steel rod.
Inside the door was a dead body, wearing a deep-sea diving suit, but underneath the diving suit was the clothes of the Salvation Army, which were the Salvation Army's men.
As soon as I saw this scene, my heart was half cold, and I was grassy, and sure enough, someone was the first to get there.
I kicked the corpse to the side, and quickly looked into the cabinet and box where the medicine had been put last time, and it was empty.
I cursed in my heart, but Du Yue quickly pulled me again, only to see her mouth shape at me and say, "It's not here! The medicine is in another room! Let's look for it one by one!"
I hurriedly returned with Du Yue.
This floor had been a hut with doors for the whole week, and I quickly scanned around and saw that many of the doors were locked and had not been opened.
If this medicine is really behind a certain door, then there is no guarantee that this medicine is really there.
I was hopeful again.
In addition, I also noticed during my observation that the fighting on this level seemed to be particularly fierce, as steel nails embedded deep in the walls could be seen everywhere, and although there were not many corpses on this level than on the previous level, it was probably only due to the natural washing away of the water.
I began to gesture for Amy and Xia Ran to disperse, knocking on the doors of each room, marking those that couldn't be opened, waiting for me to open them.
Everyone quickly dispersed and searched.
I am now more comfortable with the application of my own great strength, you must know that some of these doors are super anti-theft doors with iris recognition systems, but these doors have been soaked in water for a long time, and secondly, my physique has increased greatly since I came out of Ugin Mountain, so they are not difficult for me at all, and I quickly knocked these doors open one by one.
I didn't have time to check them one by one when I came to Du Yue last time, but after knocking on the door this time, I found that there were many more Z virus samples here, that is, those catalysts, than I thought, and there were a large number of unopened cabinets behind these doors, which were full of a considerable number of small medicine bottles.
This also shows that the medicines we took before were not as precious as I thought.
The only thing that is truly precious is probably the finale.
It took us nearly an hour to smash the door open, but we never found the bottle containing the finale.
By this time, I was already a little anxious, and began to confirm with Du Yue underwater, and I asked her with the shape of my mouth if there was anything I had forgotten.
I saw that Du Yue began to frown and think carefully, and after waiting like this for about a few minutes, I saw Du Yue's eyes suddenly widen, and then quickly made a few gestures to follow her at a few of us, and then quickly swam in the direction of the next layer.
