Chapter 108: The Forbidden Gate 3 (I)
Chen Badai secretly scolded that it was really a dog, this Crussell really used himself as a mule, I don't know what it was in the waterproof bag, the center of gravity was so unstable, he was already crooked when he went into the water, no matter how hard he tried to control it, he still sank straight and straight. Seeing Wang Xingguo stretching out his hand, he also wanted to stretch out his hand to pull, but the center of gravity was crooked, and the hands of the two slipped by, Chen Badai's eyes widened, and he watched Wang Xingguo slip past him in a daze.
However, Chen Badai still couldn't control his sinking posture, and under normal circumstances, he had to balance into a normal posture after leaning back into the water, but because the things behind him were too heavy, Chen Badai almost sank all the way down after he got into the water, and he never became a normal posture at all, and he adjusted it several times without success. Chen Badai couldn't see where the bottom of the water was, and he didn't know that he was in the end until he hit something behind his back and stopped the sinking trend.
Chen Badai felt that his eardrum was very painful, and the surrounding sea water was floating with mud and sand and foreign objects, and he couldn't see far, he finally stood up, looked up, and saw that Wang Xingguo's shadow was approaching. Chen Badai tugged at the strap on his body, trying to adjust the position of the heavy object, but he didn't tidy it up on the boat just now, and the strap was wrapped around the oxygen tube.
Wang Xingguo saw Chen Badai sinking and hurriedly chased down, but Chen Badai's sinking speed was too fast. When Wang Xingguo fell to the bottom of the water, he saw Chen Badai pull out the diving knife, he held down Chen Badai's hand holding the knife, gestured to him not to move, and then reached out to Chen Badai's waist and untied Chen Badai's lead weight.
In order to balance buoyancy when diving, he usually has a weight on his waist, and after untying the weight, Chen Badai feels much more relaxed. Wang Xingguo untied a waterproof bag again, put it in his hand, made an OK gesture to Chen Badai, and asked him if he was okay, Chen Badai felt that the burden on his body was gone, and his body felt that it was going to float automatically, he nodded and gave a thumbs up to indicate that it was okay.
Wang Xingguo pointed to it with his index finger, and asked Chen Badai to follow him, carrying a waterproof bag, and floating with flippers, Chen Badai controlled the center of gravity at this time, followed behind Wang Xingguo, and arrived at the entrance of the cave, Wang Xingguo waited for Chen Badai for a while, let him swim in first, and then followed himself, and turned on the underwater flashlight at the same time.
Unlike the blue waters of the ocean, the waters near the shore are a little muddy, and the water in the cave is even more turbid. Under the light of the flashlight, Chen Badai saw that there were a lot of flocculent dead plankton and kelp mixed with mud and sand, and the underwater flashlight could only shine five or six meters away, but Crussell considered these conditions, and he marked the bottom of the cave every 15 to 20 meters with a glow stick, green light stick means straight line, red means left turn, blue means right turn. Chen Badai couldn't see anyone else, so he had to follow the instructions of the glow stick and dive all the way, feeling that he had swam a long distance, but still no one saw him.
It seemed that Krussell and the others didn't wait for their intentions, and Chen Badai's heart was full of grass and mud horses...... These guys, although they say that Wang Xingguo is a security consultant, but Chen Badai has the feeling that he can ask if he can take care of it, and if he can't take care of it, he doesn't ask, underwater diving is a high-risk expedition activity, and he must go together, but these guys are too confident in their own abilities, and they are not even an expert-level Wang Xingguo.
The entrance to the cave is about two meters wide, and it is a crack in the stone between the sea cliffs, but there is a lot of space inside, and there are places where it suddenly swells, and the underwater flashlight cannot be illuminated around the edge, so you can only swim in a straight line until you find the next glow stick indication. Some places are very narrow, and you can barely pass through the rocks by climbing the rocks sideways, and when Chen Badai passed through one of the narrowest places, he saw that there was yellow paint on the rocks, and he didn't have to think about it to know that this was left by the oxygen cylinder scraping the stones when the big Sherpa squeezed through.
After diving a few hundred meters underwater and turning a few corners, Chen Badai finally faintly saw some flashlight light. He and Wang Xingguo sped up to catch up, only to see everyone half-floating in the water waiting. Chen Badai saw Crusell, and when he thought of him bringing such a heavy thing to himself, he was so angry that he couldn't wait to go up and break off his diving mask and press it into the water to drown him!
Belch...... No, isn't it in the water now, just take off his mask and rip off his oxygen tube......
Wang Xingguo followed, counted the number of people, everyone was there, he swam to Xia Ruobing's side, and asked her how she was doing with gestures, Xia Ruobing said that everything was fine.
Wang Xingguo looked at Kerry beside her, who was simply unable to leave, and felt a little unhappy.
Sharjah took out a tablet from the waterproof bag on his chest and opened it, which made Chen Badai surprised, the waterproof of this electronic product is not so easy, there is even a computer that can be used underwater! It seems that this Sharjah Jean is indeed a local tyrant!
Crussell saw Sharjah Jean take out the computer and wanted to go over to take a look, but Sharjah Jean seemed to be very alert, and when he saw that Sharjang wanted to get closer, he turned around and made it clear that he didn't want to share it with anyone, Crussell stopped a little awkwardly and waited for Sharjah's instructions.
Although everyone is theoretically a team, and Crussell is the leader, the core map is in the hands of Sharjah, and Crussell has a lot of complaints about this. Mr. Min also felt a little helpless, but Sharjah, who was holding irreplaceable resources in his hands, didn't seem to care what everyone thought.
Sharjah put away his tablet and pointed to a cave on the right that was slanting down. Crussell followed, stuck a blue glow stick in the rock crack at the mouth of the cave, broke it hard, the glow stick emitted a blue cold light, and took advantage of this time Wang Xingguo coordinated the team, let Sharjah lead the team, Crussell followed, Wang Xingguo made a small use of his authority, arranged Kerry to the front and team up with Mr. Min, and followed Xia Ruobing, so that Sherpa and Chen Badai broke off.
Kerry was extremely dissatisfied with this arrangement, but he weighed it underwater, and felt that it was better to listen to Wang Xingguo, but his anger needed to be vented, and Wang Xingguo saw a long series of bubbles coming out of his scuba "gurgling", as if protesting against his own arrangement.
When Xia Ruobing was about to keep up, he suddenly felt a palpitation, this kind of palpitation was also present when he was in the Coffin Mountain, this was an indescribable feeling, it seemed to be a danger signal, and it strongly reminded Xia Ruobing that it was time to turn back, and if he insisted on going his own way, he might pay the price of his life!
Wang Xingguo saw that Xia Ruobing was in a daze and didn't follow, he gently knocked on Xia Ruobing's diving mask and asked her what was wrong with his eyes.
Xia Ruobing shook his head, but there were too many meanings, and Wang Xingguo didn't understand it. Seeing that Kerry had already gotten into the hole, if Xia Ruobing hesitated any longer, the team would disperse.
Xia Ruobing looked at Wang Xingguo, and suddenly felt that she was not afraid of anything with him by her side, she held Wang Xingguo's hand tightly and sneaked into the cave with Wang Xingguo.
When Chen Badai saw this scene, he looked at the Sherpa exaggeratedly, which means: Are they showing affection nakedly?
Sherpa thinks he is rare and weird, and his sister is also at the age of talking about marriage, what's wrong with this? Wang Xingguo couldn't be better than that male dog Kerry in estrus.
Chen Badai bit his scuba, of course he couldn't speak, even if he wanted to say that he was underwater, he couldn't say it, he exaggerated the muscles around his mouth. Sherpa understood exactly what he meant: Mr. Xia, if you don't take good care of your sister, you will cheapen Wang Xingguo's kid......
Sherpa felt that Chen Badai was just salty and eating radishes, and he was still funny, at this time, he didn't feel that the equipment on his body was heavy, and he was wasting time and expression here, so he patted Chen Badai and pushed him to hurry up.
Although it was underwater, the Sherpa was still too strong, and the push almost didn't push Chen Badai two meters away, and Chen Badai's face twitched, I don't know if it hurt. He turned around and waved his fist at Sherpa in protest, and when Sherpa saw this, he raised two huge fists and nakedly said that he had the ability to fight! Chen Badai had no choice but to eat deflated and honestly burrowed into the cave.
After swimming for several hundred meters in this zigzag cave, Chen Badai saw a group of people crowded into a pile, there was no road in front of them, it was a dead end, and everyone was waiting for Sharjah's map. Shargarjan didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, he slowly pulled out his tablet, hid to the side, and came back a little later, pointing underwater.
Crusell was a little unhappy, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he had to gesticulate and let everyone follow.
Chen Badai now knows why he must come in at high tide, here is a big U-shaped underground waterway, when the tide is high, the U-shaped waterway is full of seawater, you can pass by diving, if it is low tide, the slippery reef can not be climbed at all. Chen Badai estimated that there were other channels in this U-shaped channel that connected to the sea, and when the tide was low, the water in it would retreat into the sea, and the water in the waterway would follow the tide, filling twice a day and receding twice......
After passing through this U-shaped waterway, Chen Badai finally surfaced for the first time, and he couldn't wait to take off the scuba and take off his diving mask, and let out a long breath, which was really not a good feeling of holding underwater for more than an hour.
Sharjah's map is accurate, it's high tide time, the water is just level with a platform, and the first arrivals have already climbed the platform to get their equipment ready. Chen Badai approached the platform and looked around by the light of a flashlight, this is a fairly large underground cave, it doesn't look too special, the sunlight can be seen in the distance of the cave, and it seems that it is not far from the exit.
