Chapter 39: Into the Water

I went to bed after lunch, and by the time I was woken up in a daze, it was already dark, and I looked at my watch, it was past eight o'clock.

Everyone had dinner together, and began to sort out the equipment, because of the need to go into the water, there are more diving things in the equipment, first of all, a set of close water support, which should be used to keep warm, after all, although the weather has warmed up now, the bottom of the water at night is still cold and ruthless, plus the water is yin, and the cool air into the body is more likely to leave sequelae.

Then there is the compressed air bottle for diving, I looked at the capacity, it is a little higher than the common compression ratio on the market, reaching eighteen liters, I roughly estimated, it should be enough.

You may not know very well that the compressed air cylinder used for diving is not a common oxygen cylinder in the hospital, because the change of water pressure should be taken into account underwater, so the compressed air cylinder used for diving is mixed with nitrogen and oxygen in proportion to prevent diving sickness. The respirator connected to the air cylinder is also very particular, it is responsible for mediating the decompression of the compressed air, fortunately, we are not really going to dive this time, just looking for the entrance to the tomb in the shallow water, otherwise, just so many people's diving training, I am afraid it will take half a year.

I picked up the diving goggles, which looked average on the outside, but when I started it, it sank, and the staff assigned the equipment next to me explained it to us.

This diving goggle is not ordinary, like the closed function of the underwater foundation, etc., not to mention, the diving goggles are loaded next to a military-grade small searchlight, the luminous flux and lumens even exceed some civilian portable searchlights on the market, the diving goggles are integrated with wireless communication functions, used as a backup communication tool, the lenses are also specially made, used to capture underwater light bait, and the diving goggles also have a directional GPS function, which is used to find the meeting point when we retreat.

After the equipment was sorted out, everyone began to wait, and after midnight, Jiang Nan motioned for us to start dressing, and we finished dressing one by one, tied the waterproof bag distributed for storing personal belongings around our waists, and then quietly got into the car through the back door.

The vehicle is purely electric, which should be to avoid the noise generated by motor vehicles. The West Lake was silent at midnight, and the car we were riding in didn't even turn on the lights, but fortunately the teahouse was very close to the West Lake, otherwise, I was afraid that I would have a car accident if I couldn't get to the West Lake.

After the vehicle stopped, we got out of the car in turn, and there was a very simple inflatable life raft by the lake to pick us up, and after everyone went up, they rowed the life raft to the lake for a while, and then went into the water under Jiang Nan's gesture.

I don't know why, everyone unconsciously remained silent, even Lu Worm who likes gags so much, didn't talk much, which made me nervous for no reason, but as soon as the water fell, Lu Worm swam over and held my hand, and wrote in my palm for a while.

Lu Worm usually writes ugly, which will be even more sloppy, I calmed down and felt it for a while, and then I realized that what he wrote was 'The people in the team are strange'.

I was taken aback, and I couldn't help but recall a few people who acted, me, Lu Worm, Qin Gong, Xiao Meng, needless to say, the rest were Jiang Nan and two subordinates and a team of people under Qin Gong.

Jiang Nan's ability is obvious to all, and I don't think it's possible for his subordinates to mess around under his nose, as for the team of people under Qin Gong, thinking about it at this moment, except for a slight impression of the leader's shopkeeper, the others didn't even remember their faces clearly.

When Pinghokusai held a meeting, I paid special attention to the seven shopkeepers who participated in the meeting, among which Cao Chengyun had gone down to the forbidden land of Pinghokusai with us, and then there were two shopkeepers under Elder Yan, one was named Cao Fang, I heard that he was Cao Chengyun's brother, and the other was a fat man, named Cao Shaohua, who was not tall, always smiling, and did not reveal the truth or falsehood.

Qin Gong's subordinates, there are four teams in total, Qiu Dahai is two hundred and five, in addition to Qiu Dahai, there is a thin young man, I remember that it is called Sha Chaoyang, long hair does not talk much, and then there is a woman, called Wang Jing, this woman is spicy and ruthless, Lu Worm went to tease her, and she was almost kicked by her.

As for the last one, it is the one who stayed to pick us up, it seems to be called Yu Youde, from the outside, this person is a farmer, I have never seen him speak, because the sense of existence is too weak, if it weren't for Lu Worm's warning, I wouldn't have thought about what kind of person he was.

As for his four subordinates, I just don't remember it at all, although the people I have seen in my life will deliberately remember it, but this is only limited to people with a little identity, or so many people in so many organizations, I can still write them down one by one, I am a human and not a computer hard drive.

After all, it is inconvenient to communicate underwater, I just knocked on Lu Worm's hand, signaling that I know about it, even if there is a problem, I must show my feet before I can act, and I can only raise my guard at the moment, and there is no good way. After receiving my response, Lu Worm handed over a thing, I rubbed it in my hand, it was a water rope, it seems that Lu Worm was afraid that the two of us would accidentally get separated in the water, this is a normal move, I wrapped the water rope around my wrist, and I saw someone in front of me spilling out a ball of unknown objects glowing with cyan fluorescence.

This should be the light bait mentioned in the action, the light bait floated in the water for a while, and then followed the current began to move slowly, I followed the light bait and began to move forward, the West Lake water in the early morning was as black as ink, I couldn't see anything except the light bait, I wanted to come to the same situation as me, so in fact, it was good, at least don't worry about who took the opportunity to sneak attack whom.

I followed the light bait for a while, and I completely lost my perception of time and direction, don't look at the movie often said that people can judge the time by counting the heartbeat in an extremely dark situation, that is I haven't tried, I don't want to think about how big the calculation of time is, and the number difference will be wasted, not to mention that in that case, how big the heart can be to calmly count the heartbeat.

I was thinking crankily while moving with the light bait, to be honest, at the moment I was basically numb to move forward, not much subjective consciousness, but I still don't feel anything abnormal, to paraphrase the psychology of feelings, I was like being hypnotized, fortunately when I went into the water, I tied the water rope with Lu Worm, my wrist tightened suddenly, a force of falling back pulled me to stop, I turned back in confusion, and saw Lu Worm turned on the searchlight on the diving goggles, and gestured with me in a panic.

My brain will be like paste, I can't understand what he's doing, Lu Worm gestured for a while, saw that I didn't react, looked dazed, simply rushed over to turn on the searchlight of my goggles, and then grabbed hard at my shoulder position.

I hurriedly pushed his hand away and rubbed my shoulders for a long time, only to suddenly realize my abnormal situation just now, I couldn't help but feel deep confusion in my heart, I don't know if it was because I had never dived into the water and committed a diving illness or something.

Lu Worm saw that my eyes regained clarity, and he was busy gesturing with me, this gesture is not a dumb language, nor is it a code language between the two of us, but the general sign language of Tufuzi, our industry, there are many taboos underground, and it is not suitable to communicate with language at any time, so we have developed a set of special gestures for Tufuzi to express some simple meanings.

It's because it's simple, so it's quite difficult to express the complex meaning, I read it a few times, and I barely translated it, and Lu Worm wanted to tell me that I made a mistake, got separated, straightened out in place, and didn't move on.

I'm very strange.,How could I go wrong.,The pointing object is the light bait.,I haven't lost it.,As for the separation.,I looked around.,It's true that I can't see anyone.,But this underwater visibility is very poor.,The searchlight is so awesome and I haven't seen how far it goes out.,And everyone's speed is fast and slow.,Longitudinal and horizontal.,It's normal to not see.,But since Lu Worm thinks it's wrong.,I think it's better to stop moving.,Be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship.,It's not too late to solve the problem and then act.。

Thinking of this, I gestured to Lu Worm to float, at least it was much easier to communicate when I got out of the water. Lu Worm nodded, we began to swim upstream, for fear that the light pillar of the searchlight would expose us, I turned off the searchlight, Lv Worm saw me turn off the light, and immediately thought of the reason, and also turned it off, so that we couldn't even see each other, only the water rope wrapped around our wrists occasionally tightened, proving that we were not scattered.

After swimming for a while, I felt that something was wrong, how deep the water of the West Lake was, and even if I had traveled flat before, I had floated for so long at the moment, and I hadn't come out of the water yet, isn't this a joke?

As I was thinking about it, I felt a sharp pain in my head, as if I had hit something, and I hurriedly turned on the searchlight to shine it, and found that I had hit a wall!

A light suddenly appeared on my left hand, it was Lu Worm who turned on the searchlight, he was also taken aback when he saw this wall, turned his head to look at me, I also looked at him innocently, the two of them looked at each other for a while, and involuntarily came up with an idea, this time it was a big trouble.

Two people floating quietly in the water, already a little panicked in their hearts, to know that the air in the air bottle is counted, if you don't want to suffocate to death, we must find the exit, but now which way to go is a problem, the underwater direction is not perceptible, there is no reference, we are not impossible to rotate in place, because people themselves are partial animals, closed eyes are bent in a straight line, do not believe you try it, people rely on their eyes to look at the reference object and keep correcting in order to get out of the straight line.

Lu Worm and I turned off the lights and tried to find the bait, but in vain, the bait didn't know where it had disappeared, I was inevitably a little depressed, I knew that it was better not to stop, even if I fought to the death with someone, it was better than waiting to die in the water.

was at a loss, Lu Worm patted me on the back, I turned around, he turned on the searchlight to shine on the wall, motioned me to look, I went over to look, it was the wall, what is there to see, Lv Worm looked back at me suspiciously, and was also a little anxious, he pointed to my left hand, and then pointed to the wall, I raised my left hand to see, empty, although the palm of the hand was empty, there was a metal ring on the wrist reflecting the light, flashing and flickering.
