Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Underwater Cavern
Everyone followed Chen Tianyu to the highest point of Chiba Island, the top of the shale at an altitude of 69.3 meters.
From here, you can see the junction of the lagoon and the open sea, and the Chiba rocks at your feet are almost perpendicular to the sea, making you feel terrified to watch. The Chiba Rock cliff faces south-southeast, and due to the special topography, it is not possible to see the entire Chiba Rock from the lagoon pier or from the open sea.
"Yongkun, are you sure to climb down?" Chen Tianyu coughed twice in the wind, and then asked.
Wan Yongkun looked out at the almost vertical cliff and couldn't help but gasp, but he quickly said, "Although this rock is steep, each layer has a foothold, so it should be fine." ”
Chen Tianyu nodded, and at this time, Fat Sheng was beside him and said, "Why don't you let me go down with Brother Kun, so I can take care of it." ”
"Okay, have the guts. Chen Tianyu gently patted Fat Sheng's shoulder, admiring his courage, "In this way, I will lay a few more ropes later to prevent excessive force, you can go down with confidence, pay attention to safety along the way, once you confirm the situation at the bottom of the cliff, it will be done." ”
Liu Zichen said suspiciously: "Tianyu, in such a steep place, will there really be a cave at the bottom of the cliff?"
Before Chen Tianyu could answer, Dongfang Yue had already smiled and said: "Actually, it is very high from here, and it is not high at all from the sea, if it weren't for the fact that the lagoon is full of obstructions to navigation now, we can approach it from the lagoon by boat; ”
Li Yiting couldn't help laughing: "Dongfang, if you want to talk about these whimsical ideas, let's be willing to bow down." ”
Everyone was also overjoyed when they heard this, their depressed mood was suddenly swept away, and the feeling of fear of heights was gradually eliminated, and they came over to help.
Now, it's up to Wan Yongkun and Fat Sheng to play their climbing skills.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Wan Yongkun slipped down the two ropes, Fat Sheng painted the scoop according to the gourd, and also tied the rope around his waist, and slowly pedaled the rock wall to go down, others nervously looked at the top of the mountain, this is only more than 60 meters of Chiba Rock, when the two really went down, they really realized its bizarre steepness and underestimated height; the so-called up the mountain is easy to go down the mountain, probably this is also the truth, Wan Yongkun is okay, he is used to climbing in the mountains and forests, Fat Sheng just started to follow down with only a courage, down ten meters, he couldn't help but look down at the cliff, this look is not tight, his legs began to tremble, my God, he suddenly had a kind of illusion that the world is upside down。
This is a normal phenomenon of blindness, and it is also the nightmare of many sea-skimming assault pilots, because the sea is too calm, so the reflection of the sky will be very clearly reflected on the sea, when the pilot passes through the sea at high speed, the sea will be mistaken for the sky, and then plunge into the sea. And now Fat Sheng felt that there was an illusion that the soles of his feet were thousands of meters deep! His head was dazed for a while.
Wan Yongkun quickly noticed this, and he hurriedly swung over and tied him to his body with another safety rope to prevent him from losing his mind.
"Don't look down, focus on the cliff. Wan Yongkun comforted him softly.
Fat Sheng didn't say anything for a long time, which also made Wan Yongkun a little worried.
"Do you want them to pull you up?" Wan Yongkun asked with concern.
Fat Sheng finally came to his senses, and resolutely shook his head and said: "Don't, I can do it, but I have to rest for a while, I'm afraid that if I go up this time, I won't dare to climb the rock again." What a stubborn child, Wan Yongkun gently patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement.
A few minutes later, Fat Sheng finally regained his composure, the two deliberately slowed down, step by step and continued to climb down, in fact, the altitude of more than sixty meters is indeed not high, but there are shales as sharp as blades everywhere, they can only zigzag down from the cracks of a few rocks, and they also have to prevent the rocks from accidentally cutting the rope, so when the two of them reached the bottom of the rock wall and began to approach the sea, more than three hours had passed.
Both of them were a little out of breath, but when they found that there were traces of artificial excavation at the bottom of the cliff, the excitement was self-evident, but unfortunately the position where they came down was not suitable, so the two of them supported each other and moved sideways for about ten meters, and when they finally found a black hole in the water, both of them were a little ecstatic.
Chen Tianyu did not guess wrong, there is indeed a huge cave under the cliff, which is obviously also dug out by hand, and it is probably the reason why it is convenient for ships to enter and exit, this cave is not equipped with an isolation gate, but half of the entire cave is below the sea surface, that is to say, this is an underwater cave, and the two looked at each other.
In the end, Wan Yongkun said softly: "Jump!" Fat Sheng followed Wan Yongkun without hesitation and jumped into the cold water, his water nature is still good, Wan Yongkun's water nature is much worse, so Fat Sheng tried his best to pull Wan Yongkun's placket to prevent him from losing his balance, fortunately, both of them were wearing life jackets, and they would not sink down.
The two of them swam towards the depths of the cave without hesitation, until there was some faint light inside, they barely managed to put their heads out of the water, reduced their speed, and after about half an hour, they clearly felt that the water was getting shallower and shallower, and they were almost able to stand directly on the water.
There was no figure in the cave, presumably this was a simple warehouse, and when the eyes of the two finally adapted to the darkness, they were surprised to find that what was placed in front of them was the ironclad evidence of Beiting Chao's thoughts: red coral, ivory, hawksbill turtles, guns and ammunition, and other strange objects that had never been seen before! Some of these things were antique relics with a long history, and any one touched was worth a fortune, but these two were complete rookies.
Fat Sheng hurriedly took out a low-light camera, clicked and took several photos in a row, and for the sake of insurance, he installed an external flash and took photos again from all angles for evidence. Half an hour later, the evidence was collected, and the two breathed a long sigh of relief.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that the seaplane has been destroyed, they don't have to worry about these supplies being secretly transported out of the island, so when Wan Yongkun and Fat Sheng climbed Chiba Rock again, except for the two coast guard members who were in charge of surveillance, the rest of them happily left Chiba Island and began to split up.
Although the victory is in hand, no one dares to delay time.
Dongfang Yue rushed back to the Lisha as soon as possible, sent the original pictures of the underwater cave to the command post of the naval ship formation through satellite, and briefly described the relevant matters, and the formation command post will professionally sort out these pictures and materials, and form a comprehensive report to submit to the higher authorities; the rest of the matter will be handed over to the diplomatic department for coordination, and I believe that it will not be long before Interpol will personally land on Chiba Island and wipe out the remaining bandits.
And the people in Beiting surrounded Wan Yongkun and Fat Sheng, who had made great contributions, and returned to the Little Dubai Hotel to rest first. And no matter where Haraji Heihachiro and others are hiding now, they don't want to disturb the last "Ansheng" of these gangsters, and the so-called dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, they know this very well.
The next day, the people of Beiting, who were full of energy and regained their combat effectiveness, once again gathered in the suite to organize a "case analysis meeting", and Li Yiting raised his doubts.
His biggest doubt, of course, is why Chiba Island has a head-on exchange of fire with the naval ship formation, it stands to reason that the probability of this kind of thing happening is extremely small, could it be that which side went off in the process of stalemate?
Of course, Kitei never believed in coincidences, and the result of the meeting was that there must be an internal response on Chiba Island.
But who could these be?
