Chapter 7: Searching for people at the bottom of the lake
Like a fish in the water, Yang Zi and Qian Gang waved their hands after diving into the water, and then deftly swam towards the deep water area.
The water level here increases with the angle of the terrain slope, and the depth soon exceeds 30 meters.
This depth is close to the limit of recreational diving, and it can only be done by divers with some training, and it will be difficult for ordinary people to adapt to this difficult environment due to the change in water pressure.
Yang Zi, who has water beads, has no such concerns, he easily swims under the deeper and deeper water, and the only thing that bothers him is the lack of light.
The visibility under the water of Fuxian Lake is actually very good, at least it is much better than the situation where you can't see your fingers after more than 30 meters like the Qiqi River.
Yang Zi had also been troubled by the lack of underwater light before, and finally found a solution in the sub-class inventory in the mall, that is, the miner's lamp in the game.
This gadget that uses magic light costs ten gold coins, and it is an eternal light source, which has a very limited illumination range of five meters.
This is enough for mining, but it is very difficult to use it for underwater searching.
Looking at the fading light around him, Yang Zi secretly had a headache and at the same time equipped the miner's lamp to the inventory.
As his vision lit up instantly, the environment within a few meters around him became clear.
Although I am a little disgusted by the five-meter field of view, whether this is really two different things.
It's just that this light appears a little strange, Yang Zi didn't see any starting point of the light source, but it was as if his eyes had directly seen through the water environment.
However, when he thought of the description of the vision plus five in the introduction of the miner's lamp, Yang Zi decisively did not continue to dwell on this matter.
He plans to buy a strong diving lamp when he returns to the city, which is not easy to carry, but it can really come in handy at times like this.
At this time, he left the pleasure boat and swam into the water for a distance of about two or three hundred meters, and the water level here also reached a depth of fifty or sixty meters.
The bottom of the surrounding lake is not only darker than the shallow water in front of it, but also has a lot of traces of human activity.
The remnants of collapsed buildings, stone tools of unknown use, and even some buildings with silhouettes that Yang Zi saw.
If the archaeologists saw this kind of scene, they would definitely be interested in investigating it, but unfortunately Yang Zi did not have this spare time now.
He searched the waters in a zigzag pattern, searching for suspicious clues nearby.
Searching alone in this dark underwater, the pressure from the heart is still very huge, not to mention the legend of the corpse bank at the bottom of the Fuxian Lake, the claustrophobic underwater space alone can make people involuntarily feel terrifying.
At this time, Yang Zi was able to persist so much, in addition to his own strong and daring, there was also his own curiosity about these unknown things.
Especially after Dai Ping told him the legends at the bottom of the lake last night, he was thrilled and at the same time developed a strong curiosity about this mysterious water.
Unfortunately, the underwater environment was not as complicated as he imagined, except for some ruins and aquatic plants, all that remained was the various fish creatures that swam past him from time to time.
After the initial period of excitement, Yang Zi gradually lost his expectations and imagination for those rumors, and just kept shuttling back and forth under the water, observing the things in the water with the extremely limited vision in his eyes.
After nearly twenty minutes like this, in order to avoid going off the rails and worrying Qiaoqiao, Yang Zi began to prepare to surface and plan to exchange information, and by the way, report safety to the people on the boat.
His feet slid rapidly, and as the light became stronger and stronger, Yang Zi emerged from the water here after a "bang" sound of water.
Dressed in a pitch-black wetsuit, he stepped on the water a few times to raise himself a little, and then began to survey his surroundings.
It was already three or four hundred meters away from the cruise ship where Qiaoqiao and the others were, which was not far from the area pointed out by the parents, but it was a little deeper.
He pulled out the waterproof walkie-talkie from his diving bag and began to communicate with the people on the boat.
The walkie-talkie over there has been placed on Qiaoqiao's body, and as soon as he contacted it, Qiaoqiao's slightly worried voice came from the walkie-talkie in his hand.
Yang Zi first told the other party about the situation on her side to reassure her, and then the two sides briefly exchanged clues.
Qian Gang had already come up twice from their side, but they still didn't find any clues.
The only good news is that the police have arrived at the nearby shore and are preparing to send their officers together to search.
Yang Zi, who got the information, comforted Qiaoqiao a few words, and then continued to dive back into the water to start the second round of searching.
The bottom of the lake, which is sixty or seventy meters deep, is already pitch black, but fortunately, Yang Zi can observe the scene of several meters around him with the blessing of the miner's lamp.
Wandering in this quiet atmosphere, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease in his heart.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Yang Zi always feels that something is behind him.
This made his heart palpitate and at the same time secretly laughed at his own courage, with his current attributes, what else is there to be afraid of.
The water monsters have been fought, are you still afraid that a few big fish in this lake will not succeed?
Emboldened himself, Yang Zi began to grope his way to the dark water in front of him again.
Suddenly, after continuing to check the distance of more than ten meters, Yang Zi found some unusual scenes.
Within the limits of his field of vision, a toppled ancient structure appeared, and the building materials dug out of these boulders were piled up in a mess, leaving a two-meter-square cave in the middle.
There was nothing strange about the cave, but what surprised him a little was that above the water layer near the entrance to the cave, there were many floating objects deposited on the bottom of the lake.
What is the situation? Yang Zi was sure that he had never been to this place before, and it would take a certain size to wave up so much sediment.
He couldn't help but look at the cave in some confusion, could it be that there was something in it?
Yang Zi, whose body was tense, looked at the incomprehensible scene in front of him and didn't move for a long time, until more than a minute later, those floating objects gradually sank to the bottom of the water, and he didn't notice the situation, so he was relieved and planned to move forward.
Just as he was about to leave here, Yang Zi suddenly found a white clothing-like floating object sticking out of his shoulder.
Strangely enough, he squeezed it with his hand, and felt that it was slippery and greasy, so he turned his head to see where the thing came from.
As a strange human face covered with algae came into Yang Zi's eyes, he was instantly shocked and lost his soul without psychological preparation.
Looking at the terrifying face less than ten centimeters away from him motionlessly, Yang Zi actually lost the ability to think for a while.
