Even though it's already June, the water in the Yangtze River basin is still very cold. After entering the water, the trainees felt a chill all over their bodies, and their scalps were stabbed.

In view of the complexity of the internal structure of the passenger ship, according to the predetermined rescue plan, the trainees who successfully dived into the cabin chose to start the search from the tail of the passenger ship.

After Jiang Dawei entered the hull, he quickly debugged the life detector to facilitate the detection of underwater life at close range.

Soon, the life detector detected signs of life nearby. After determining the location of the trapped person, Jiang Dawei immediately gestured to Wang Liang beside him and told him the location of the trapped person.

Gesture training is the most common subject practiced by military cadets, Wang Liang saw Jiang Dawei's gesture, made an OK response to him, and then searched for the trapped according to the information he gave.

The deeper you go, the narrower the space in the corridors becomes. Wang Liang slowly turned his body sideways, reducing the resistance of the current in the boat to him as much as possible.

Fortunately, the door was open, and Wang Liang easily found the trapped person.

I saw a young man in a sailor's uniform floating in the water in the room, his arms still making subtle movements.

Probably because it was too dark underwater, even though the sailor was very water-friendly, he still couldn't find the narrow exit to the cabin.

After Wang Liang took off his oxygen equipment and brought it to the sailor, he pulled him to swim out of the room.

Shi Zhu, who was in charge of answering the cabin, noticed that Wang Liang had searched for a trapped person, and hurriedly swam over to help them. Step by step, Wang Liang and Shi Zhu dragged the sailors to the outside of the ship with difficulty.

Due to the rapid current, they simply did not have the ability to complete the vertical ascent on their own after exiting the cabin.

Stone Pillar used communication equipment to inform rescuers on the deck to quickly tighten hoses and signal ropes, borrowing the force from above to surface.

"It's out!"

"They're out!"

With a burst of cries of surprise, Stonepage, who was waiting anxiously on the deck, saw the three of them emerge from the water.

Xuan Shiye breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly applauded Wang Liang in his heart.

Li Weiguo hurriedly said to the rescuers around him: "Go and pull them up." ”

Immediately after going ashore, the sailor was taken to the hospital for treatment by ambulance waiting on the shore.

Wang Liang changed an oxygen tank and tied the signal rope before he planned to go into the water again to save people.

As the dean of the Naval Submarine Academy, Yu Shiye had long heard of Wang Liang, an excellent student, and today he was even more moved by his fearless spirit.

He said to Wang Liang with great concern: "Wang Liang, rest and go into the water again, your physical consumption is too great." ”

"Chief, I'm fine, time waits for no one."

Before he could speak, Wang Liang jumped into the water.

At this time, the river flows faster and the visibility under the water is much lower. Even if you turn on a strong flashlight, you can't see your five fingers if you are a little farther away from the body.

Rescuers on deck had opened multiple gaps in the Oriental Star through cutting operations, and the life detector was extended deep into the hull through the openings, but no signs of life were found underwater.

Time passed minute by minute, and Wang Liang was also searching hard in the cabin.

Suddenly, a life detector on the deck sends a signal to find another trapped person.

Li Weiguo hurriedly sent a signal to Wang Liang through communication equipment.

"Trapped person found in cabin 1019, repeat, trapped person found in cabin room 1019."

"Roger, I'll go immediately."

After receiving the message, Wang Liang immediately swam to room 1019.

Because he had already understood the internal structure of the passenger ship in advance, Wang Liang quickly found this room. But the bad thing was that the door was locked, and he couldn't get in smoothly.

Wang Liang tried to hit the door, because the resistance of the water was too great, and the effect of the impact was not obvious. He stepped back a distance, slamming the door with all his might.

After hearing a "bang", the door was slammed open.

But Wang Liang felt a sharp pain in his arm, and he suspected that his arm had been dislocated due to the violent collision. Where you can take care of yourself, it is important to save others.

Because the door was kept closed, no water spilled into the room after the liner flipped on its side. But as soon as the door was slammed open, water began to pour into the room at a rapid pace.

Wang Liang gritted his teeth and insisted on wading into the room, and found that there was an old man inside.

As the water continues to overflow, the oxygen in the room becomes thinner.

Wang Liang found that the old man's physical strength and energy had been seriously overdrawn, and he was huddled in the corner shivering.

Seeing Wang Liang, the old man couldn't hold back his emotions and cried.

Wang Liang hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, and put on the oxygen equipment and diving equipment on his body.

And comforted: "Grandma, don't cry, you treat me as your grandson, and I will definitely save you." ”

Due to the long squatting time, the old man's legs have been pressed and he is unconscious.

The situation was urgent, and the water had not reached Wang Liang's chest, so he didn't have time to think about it.

Wang Liang put the old man on his back and walked out, because he had no diving equipment. As soon as he left the room, water poured into Wang Liang's nostrils, and his eyes hurt so much that he couldn't open them at all.

With his own memory, Wang Liang swam to the cabin as fast as he could.

Because he was carrying the old man on his back, his physical energy was drastically depleted. Coupled with the severe pain in his arm, Wang Liang felt that he was about to collapse from exhaustion.

But he knew in his heart that the hopes of the old man's life were pinned on him. As a member of the hundreds of thousands of People's Liberation Army, he absolutely cannot abandon the masses of the people and ignore the fire and water.

He gritted his teeth, and after some fumbling around, he found the hole out of the cabin.

After coming out of the cabin, there was no time to signal the rescuers on deck to pull the rope. He and the old man were swept into the deep water by the undercurrent, and the signal rope on their bodies was entangled in the debris on the hull of the ship, and they could not move at all.

Running water continued to enter his respiratory tract from his nostrils, and Wang Liang felt that the alveoli were about to explode.

He dealt with it decisively, chose to cut the signal rope with a dagger, and used all his strength to push the old man out of the water quickly.

In normal times, Wang Liang completes these actions with ease.

But now that he is in terrible physical condition, and he is also carrying an old man, the difficulty can be imagined.

Wang Liang still succeeded in pushing the old man out of the water, and the rescuers who had been prepared on the deck immediately went into the water to rescue the old man.

Just when everyone was waiting for Wang Liang to come ashore, the water surface was extremely calm.

In the end, it was a veteran, and Yu Shiye immediately realized that Wang Liang must have had an accident. He gave the equipment to the old man, what about himself?

Ji Shiye hurriedly shouted to Jiang Daren, who was resting on the deck: "Go into the water to save people, quickly, quickly!" ”

How dare they slack off, they are their comrades-in-arms and their brothers.

Once you've put on your gear, quickly jump into the water.

The effect of force is mutual, and at the moment when Wang Liang pushed the old man out of the water, he was pushed back underwater by the reaction force.

Wang Liang wanted to go upstream, but his arms couldn't move at all.

What to do?! Wang Liang
