Chapter 39: The Second "Dessert"

After a while, with a keen sense, I noticed that the submarine was slowly rising, and after a long and dark twenty-four hour journey, it was finally coming to the surface. Captain Ji Yunkai and I are making final preparations, and we will use extraordinary courage and endurance to meet the challenge of the Wind Demon Water Monster

The lieutenant colonel appeared again in due time, and this was the second time he appeared before us. He should be a very dedicated soldier, he knows what he does, he knows what to ask and what not to ask, and now that the submarine is about to surface, he is in front of us at the last moment, he must have wanted to leave us as much time as possible to rest, he must have also known that we are going to carry out extraordinary missions, so he will help us as much as possible within his scope of duty. This is the style of our outstanding soldiers, and with them, the great wall of steel of the motherland will be impregnable.

"Chief, the submarine will be out of the water in three minutes, please leave immediately, we can't stay here for a moment, we must return immediately." He saw that we were already dressed in wetsuits and urged us to get ready to get out of the cabin.

Neither of us spoke, Captain Ji Yunkai nodded to him, and the lieutenant colonel officer turned around and walked out of our temporary small room, leading us towards the exit.

It seems that this submarine has been temporarily transferred to carry out this escort mission, and they have already arrived at the door of another country, which is very dangerous, in case people find us, the possibility of being sunk is very high, and it is easy to cause diplomatic disputes and damage the reputation of the country.

When we arrived at the exit, the lieutenant colonel officer immediately ordered the opening of the main hatch of the submarine, and the operator turned out to be the senior soldier who brought us food, and it seemed that only the two of them knew about our boarding of the submarine, which was enough to show how top secret our mission was. With a serious face, he controlled the open button very standardly, and the hatch slowly opened. Captain Ji Yunkai gave me a look, I rushed out of the cabin with a brisk step, he immediately followed, and the hatch behind it slowly closed, leaving two lonely figures standing in the darkness of the night, maybe only God would notice us two "stowaways" who played with their lives, he could only shake his head helplessly, slowly closed his benevolent eyes, and waited for the two of us who violated the rules and dared to suffer.

"Let's go, I'll invite you to the Chrislak Peninsula for a big dinner." Captain Ji Yunkai made a cheering joke to me, which is very important, just like Cao Cao back then, in order to boost morale, he came up with a good way to quench his thirst.

We stood on the icy cabin, facing the gentle sea breeze, and through the faint night, we felt that the submarine was slowly sinking again. Captain Ji and I glanced at each other, checked each other's equipment one last time, and in seven or eight seconds the submarine was back in the pitch-black waters, and we, the two steely warriors, would be forgotten on the icy sea, for the sake of the sacred mission on our shoulders, to begin our extremely difficult "journey to break the waves".

We were immersed in the icy water, and the huge temperature difference between the water and my body still made me shiver involuntarily, and although we had warmed up as necessary before going to the sea, it would take a few minutes to get used to the cold water. Luckily, we each had a surfboard in our hands, which allowed us to float on the water, so we didn't have to fight the gravity of the center of the earth, we just had to paddle forward as much as we could.

In fact, we've kept the weight down to the lightest, and we're carrying very emergency stuff that we can hold on to even if we can't get it in time to replenish it when we get ashore. If we bring something else, it will make us pay more energy, and it will be a very fatal thing, because this crossing may swim until dawn, and once exhausted, any unnecessary weight will lead to danger and even death.

We held the surfboard, pointed in the direction, and moved side by side at a constant speed, and the rope in the middle was now no longer necessary, which was used to save lives in times of crisis. We are like two long sea turtles, moving on all fours, and although we feel that the speed is okay, in a pool like the sea, it becomes two "still" black spots in the dark night. We are like two geese flying south, with the help of the waves pushed by each other, with the slowest movements, the fastest speed, swimming towards the target. The sea in front of you is neck-level, boundless, and the heavy sea water is constantly shaking, making people's chests stuffy.

We always exert our strength slowly, so that we can move at a constant speed and conserve the necessary energy to respond to sudden emergencies. After all, we are in the ocean, and anything can happen. We all try to relax our bodies, rest while paddling, keep our eyes calm, and don't dare to look too far ahead, so as not to increase fatigue for no reason.

None of us spoke, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. In this dark sea, there is not a trace of wind and waves, only the vast sea, so any unnecessary noise will attract the attention of sharks or other sea creatures. Don't look at us to be invincible on land, but on this vast sea, we are pitifully weak!

"Captain Ji, we must grasp the direction well, and if we deviate a little bit, it will take several more hours!" I whispered to Captain Ji.

He looked at me and didn't speak, which was the most basic, how could he not know? Of course, he also knew that I just had nothing to say, and I wanted to pass the "loneliness" of the journey.

"Now that the sea is very calm, any movement of ours will easily attract the attention of the sea monsters, and if you break their dreams, they will trouble you, so let's think more about how to complete the mission." The captain himself was bored to death, and he said to me in a low voice. I smiled and didn't speak, adjusting my breathing and slowly swimming forward.

We have been rowing for more than two hours, the two of us are frightened, but we can't look back, the cold water, the silent night, dragged us into the tired, just now on the submarine beef full meal and rest, far from relieving the fatigue at this time, fortunately our body has adapted to the temperature of the sea, but it is much better than when we just got into the water.

As time went by, the east of the night sky gradually revealed a faint paleness, and the limbs of the captain and I were as heavy as lead, and finally we had to rely on the impetus of the water waves to move forward slowly, fortunately there was no wind and waves tonight, otherwise we would not know what kind of difficulties we would have to face. We've been paddling in the icy waters for over four hours now. Fortunately, Captain Ji promised me a "Chrislak Peninsula Dinner" before entering the water, which gave me some encouragement to quench my thirst.

After swimming forward for more than half an hour, it was already quite bright for the two of us who had adapted to the dark night, and the sea was unusually calm.

Suddenly, Captain Ji and I sensed that danger was rapidly approaching us almost at the same time, and for people like us, perceiving danger is also a necessary "instinct", we glanced at each other, immediately stopped, and took a carpet scan of the one hundred and eighty degrees in charge of ourselves. Sure enough, about fifty meters to the captain's right, something was moving rapidly towards us. We glanced at each other, and involuntarily pulled out two miniature pistols at the same time, now is not the time to care about being quiet or not, life comes first!

Just when the thing was twenty meters away from us, we were almost shocked at the same time, it was no ordinary sea creature, it was a giant sea lord - a shark!

In this bottomless ocean, we actually encountered such a "strong enemy", the fear in our hearts can be imagined, and what is even more terrible is that our physical strength has been exhausted. If it was when we had just gone to the sea, when our physical strength and spirit were at their peak, I joined forces with Captain Ji Yunkai, but we could fight with that beast, the big deal was that the fish died and the net was broken, if you want to eat us, we will also make you pay a painful price! But now, we have been swimming for four and a half hours, and our physical strength and spirit have dropped to the lowest point, and the spirit is okay to say, but physical fitness is something that can't be bought with tens of millions of dollars, especially now in this desperate moment of life-saving.

Now we have nothing but two miniature pistols and two sharp daggers, of course, there is a five-meter-long rope around our waists that protects each other's lives, and there are miniature grenades on our backs, but they are not very powerful, in order to prevent being washed away by the water, we are all tied very strongly, there is no minute to untie it, where is there time to take it out now, let alone a minute, even a second it will not give us, maybe it has been hungry for a whole day, is looking for food like crazy, When I finally saw us, I didn't want to mention the joy in my heart, maybe I was trying to swallow my saliva desperately.

In order to pursue speed and flexibility, miniature pistols are not powerful at all, and it is not an international joke to use an effective range of 25 meters and a bullet the size of a soybean grain to deal with this giant overlord under the sea? It's not even much better than a six-year-old kid shooting a buffalo with a mud slingshot, unless it is shot in the eye, but it's a pity that we are not the "sharpshooters" in those anti-Japanese dramas, his grandfather was brutally killed by the Japanese devils when he was "six years old", the kind of "skill" forced out by hatred is terrifying, and he almost has the perverted marksmanship that can do sex reassignment surgery for the little devil!! Besides, sharks use scent to lock onto their targets, so what's the use of shooting them blind? On the contrary, it will stimulate its ferocity even more and drive us into the abyss of death. Not to mention the dagger, of course, which is tantamount to a duel with a half-cut pencil head against a stout brown bear. In addition, our attack speed in the water will be greatly reduced, less than a third of that on land.

On the contrary, now that it is lit up, it can see us underwater, but we can't see it, it can attack us from any angle, and we can only be beaten passively. Besides, our miniature oxygen cylinders won't last long!

What's more serious is that this is in the sea, we have nowhere to borrow strength, can not achieve a real sense of joining forces against the enemy, once one person has a major danger, the other person has no time to rescue, even if it is rushed to arrive, it can only be used as its second "dessert", because our actions and the monster, is simply the rhythm of the tortoise and rabbit race!

In this way, tonight, we will not be spared!!!

But we are two men who refuse to bow to God, and we will not sit still, we will fight hard, knowing that we cannot do it. The captain and I looked at each other again, this may be our last look in this reincarnation, although we cherish it very much, but we don't have the time to cherish it, the shark is coming in three or five seconds, and we don't have the last chance to say goodbye! I read something called "fortitude" in the captain's farewell eyes, and he slowly made a five-finger gesture to me and nodded silently to me. My eyes suddenly heated, my heart was like a knife, of course I knew what he was thinking, he wanted to use his flesh to lure the beast away, to win me a chance to run on the beast's back, to scratch its skin with my five-finger steel hook, to plunge into its body and destroy its internal organs, although the opportunity was quite vague, but also to fight. There is no other way!

Almost at the same time, we put away the miniature pistols, replaced them with four sharp daggers, put on diving goggles, and we are going to use the courage of our soldiers, with our infinite fighting spirit, to engage in an earth-shattering life-and-death fight against the giant shark, the overlord of the sea!!
