Chapter 952: The Diving Bell
"The car looks like an old antique from a museum." George pouted and reached out to wipe a thick handful of dust from the roof of the car, which even contained a lot of fine particles with radioactive contamination.
"Are you sure you're right? I see this car has been parked here for a long time, maybe the cars we're looking for are somewhere else—"
Before George could finish speaking, Qi Lin had already opened the car door and inserted the prepared key into the keyhole under the steering wheel.
When the dashboard of the off-road vehicle was all lit up, George naturally shut his mouth when he saw this scene.
"One person, one by one, drive back to the temporary base, rest for five minutes, and then head towards the coastline." Qi Lin threw the other two keys to George and 0592 and said.
The so-called five-minute rest was actually only enough for everyone to roughly check the equipment on their bodies, and it didn't take long for them to embark on the journey all the way east again.
The Chukotsia Peninsula is located in the Russian Far East, the easternmost part of Siberia, dominated by mountainous and tundra landscapes, inhabited, in the old days, this more than 700,000 square kilometers of land was inhabited by less than 100,000 people, and the vast majority of the population was concentrated in the capital of the Chukotsia Autonomous Region, the port city of "Anadyr".
In addition to the indigenous people of the Chukotyi Peninsula, there are two other forces here.
Goryeo and Dongying people.
Due to the nuclear war, the entire Goryeo Peninsula was turned into a scorched earth, and every inch of land contained extremely strong radiation, which could not provide a reason for human existence - and due to some historical reasons, North Goryeo did not build a large number of anti-nuclear shelters like other countries, so a large number of war refugees had to go all the way north to seek refuge in China and Russia.
As for the Dongying people, it is even worse than the Korean people - the geology of Dongying Honshu Island is very unstable, and in the old days, experts often predicted that the entire Honshu Island would sink to the bottom of the sea in a few years, and similar science fiction movies and disaster movies are endless...... However, halfway through this war...... Honshu Island really sank......
If the Goryeo people are expected to return to their homeland after a hundred years, then the Dongying people really no longer even have their homeland......
Fortunately, those big conglomerates in the East were more prescient, and long before the outbreak of the war, they had bought a large area of land in the Far East from the Russian government.
In the "Wasteland Survival Rules", the Far East has always been a region where the Russians, Koreans, and Dongying people are constantly fighting for each other...... However, after the appearance of the Kuroshio, the situation has changed dramatically, and the three parties can no longer care about fighting each other, and they have all put their main forces on resisting the Kuroshio, but after that, Qi Lin broke away from the virtual game world, and then he didn't know much about what happened on the permafrost tundra.
But the game is a game after all, and in reality, the actual population of the Chukotsia region is still much higher than the level in the game, and the Dongying and Goryeo people have dug a large number of shelters in the hard frozen soil, and now these shelters have all been included in the sphere of influence of the Revolutionary Union.
Qi Lin drove the car, and from time to time he glanced at the tablet fixed above the windshield with the corner of his eye, and the screen of the tablet displayed a dynamic map, which not only marked the specific location of those shelters, the territory range of mutated creatures such as frozen soil rock worms, etc., but even the satellite orbit overhead and the time when the satellite passed, with the help of this information, the team could easily avoid all the troubles that might be encountered, and all the way to the seaside.
Thick rubber tires raced over the dry moss covered with hoarfrost and fine pebbles, and Ayakui sat bored in the passenger seat, using her mind to suck a droplet of water the size of a pigeon's egg out of the bottle, changing into various shapes in mid-air.
Lin Que and Aken were sitting in the back seat, the former had been blowing all kinds of to Aken in Chinese, while the latter ignored him and disassembled a mechanical crossbow back and forth by himself.
"Akon, is your hometown in the Congolese savannah?" Qi Lin asked Akon in English as he drove the car.
"Nope." Akon raised his head, shook his head again, and said, "Our tribe has its own town, and we don't live on the prairie. ”
As mentioned above, Akon's English is really not very good, but at least Qi Lin can understand it.
After all, in the mercenary group at the beginning, mercenaries with various accents abounded, and Qi Lin even learned some indigenous languages that are rarely spoken in the world from them.
"So how did you get involved in the war? Forced to participate? ”
"No, I wasn't forced...... Money, I'm in it for money. Akon's thick lips quirmed slightly, as if there was something else he wanted to say, but he didn't say it in the end.
"Money is a good thing, aren't we just going out to make a lot of money!" Lin Que said with a smile on the side, although his English level is not good, he still knows the word "money".
"yes...... Money is a good thing......" Qi Lin sighed with emotion, turned the steering wheel slightly, and bypassed a raised stone directly in front of him.
To be honest, he had always wondered what he had been fighting for...... Is it for money? Or is it just to survive?
Everyone is a pawn, some are crucial kings, enough to influence the victory or loss of the whole game, and some are rampaging castles, knights with swords on the side...... Of course, more people are just an insignificant pawn, the kind of pawn who may not be able to make a move after a game of chess, the kind of pawn who is not harmful even if he is eaten by the opponent at the beginning......
What kind of chess piece is you?
He didn't know...... All he could do now was take one step at a time—like the pawn who kept walking towards the bottom of the board.
……
In the end, the pawn can ascend and change, but what about himself?
……
……
Finally, at close to eight o'clock in the evening, three off-road vehicles finally arrived at the shore of the Bering Sea.
This is an abandoned old fishing dock, and because there is no lighting, the collapsed houses look like a strange graveyard in the dark, and the concrete piers on the shore are the tombstones of these graves.
In the middle of the pier was a half-broken lighthouse, and the parts of the diving bell were contained in dozens of boxes, hidden in the ruins of the lighthouse.
Qi Lin commanded the team to take out those parts and assemble them into a large diving bell that can accommodate more than ten people, this is a fully enclosed diving bell, with sixteen large suction cups at the bottom, and firmly attached to the rocks on the bottom of the sea, and around the diving bell is equipped with its own powered thrusters, which can press the hollow diving bell directly into the sea water without adding heavy objects.
There are two dinghies on the pier, which are held in place by a metal beam with a large winch on top of the beam, which is used to hang the diving bell.
Hanging the diving bell on the beam, Qi Lin used his eagle eye to observe the dark sea surface for the last time, and then with a slight wave of his hand, the two dinghys quietly sailed out of the dock with the diving bell.
"Turn 25 degrees to the left and continue for 80 meters...... Okay, stop. The engine of the dinghy was turned off, the anchor was thrown down, and the two-jump dinghy was fixed on the surface of the sea more than ten kilometers from land.
This is directly above the undersea prison where Qin is being held, and the electromagnetic interference here is already extremely strong, not only the communication between Qi Lin and the main brain has been interrupted again, but even the short-distance radio communication between the team members has been greatly interfered with.
Leaving two of Harvey's men to guard the dinghy, the others swooped into the bell, which slowly sank to the bottom of the ocean with the rotation of the winch and propeller blades......
Everyone clings to the inner wall of the diving bell, observing the outside world through the transparent glass portholes - as the sea between the two supermilitary powers, Russia and the United States, plus the choke point of the Arctic Circle, the Bering Strait has also broken out many large-scale naval battles, and the wreckage of countless warships has sunk to the bottom of the sea, forming a magnificent battleship cemetery.
"Look...... It's the Nimitz......"
George pointed to the wreckage of an aircraft carrier hundreds of meters long in the distance and said, although a large number of seaweeds and parasites have been attached to the side of the ship, but the "CVN68" board number can be vaguely seen, this nuclear-powered aircraft carrier can be said to be one of the most famous aircraft carriers in the old era of the United States, but it was sunk in this sea area.
In addition to the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, there are many other nuclear-powered warships sunk here, the nuclear fuel leaked from these warships plus the nuclear warheads that fell into the sea and exploded, the radiation pollution in this sea area can be said to be very serious, although it is not as exaggerated as Victoria Bay, but almost every fish that has entered the public eye has produced a huge mutation.
"If only I had a radiation immunity constitution, that mutant grouper would look delicious......," Lin Que said as he leaned on the porthole, staring at a large fish that was more than two meters long swimming in front of the diving bell.
Although he was still joking, it could be seen from Lin Que's tense face that this guy was actually extremely nervous at the moment - after all, according to the plan, after entering the prison, he would be separated from the others and use the "bone shrinking skill" to enter the cell where Qin was held through the ventilation duct.
Acting alone, and in such a dangerous place, it is certainly impossible to say that you are not nervous. However, Lin Que is also a veteran no matter how he says it, and he uses this last bit of time to constantly adjust his breathing, trying to calm the tension in his heart, and focusing on the task itself as much as possible.
"There's no need to be nervous, your route won't meet guards, it's much safer than us." Harvey also saw Lin Que's state, patted his arm and comforted.
"I know, I know...... How can I be nervous...... Let's talk nonsense......" Lin Que skimmed with some disdain, and rubbed his face hard, rubbing his face red, in order to hide his originally somewhat pale face.
"I'm ready to work."
Qi Lin glanced at the depth gauge inside the diving bell, and whispered to everyone - with a muffled "bang", the diving bell finally touched the bottom of the sea, and the sixteen large suction cups at the bottom were tightly sucked on the rock formations on the bottom of the sea.
The bottom of the diving bell is opened, and the sea water is discharged by the air pressure, revealing the rocks on the bottom of the sea.
Acid etching was sprayed onto the rock, and with a large amount of foam and a pungent smell, the seemingly hard rock quickly became brittle and collapsed little by little.
In less than half an hour, a one-meter-square, more than ten meter-deep passage appeared at the bottom of the diving bell.
At the bottom of the passage, a layer of metal was exposed—the horizontal passage that connected the entrance to the prison and the warden's duty room, as mentioned in the previous battle meeting.
Using a silent laser knife to pierce a small hole in this metal wall, Qi Lin first stretched a miniature camera through the small hole, and only after making sure that there were no patrolling jailers passing directly below him, did he cut off the entire metal wall under his feet.
Using the rope to slide into the passage, Qi Lin glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner, and the indicator light next to the camera had changed from "normal" green to "malfunctioning" orange, Qi Lin knew that the main brain had hacked into the main control system of the submarine prison at the moment.
And the countdown to this rescue operation has officially started now.
The two jailers walked over from the corner of the passage, but before they could react, Qi Lin had already pulled the trigger, and with two soft sounds, the figures of the two people suddenly froze, and then fell towards the ground-
Just as the bodies of the two jailers were about to smash to the floor, an invisible force suddenly held the corpses and gently carried them to an inconspicuous corner.
Qi Lin looked back, and sure enough, Ayakui had also gone down to the horizontal passage, and it was Ayakui who grabbed the two corpses with her mind just now, so that the movement of this assassination was almost negligible.
One by one, the members of the squad in the diving bell all slid down the ropes, and according to the previous tactics, everyone immediately occupied the important corners of the passage, and used their guns with silencers to block all the jailers who might come over.
"Lin Que, see the vent with barbed wire on the opposite wall, you go in from here, I will help you install the barbed wire back, and then eliminate the traces, if you can reach the cell first, remember not to act rashly, wait for our signal."
"I know." Lin Que nodded a little stiffly.
