Chapter IX: Privileges

With a "clang", Ge Jin threw a large box on the ground and opened the lid, which contained a few light machine guns and some glittering daggers!

"Good stuff!" Kurban's eyes lit up at the sight. "I don't know how you brought these guys here! Overweight isn't decent, right? ”

"Commander's prerogative!" Ge Jindao. "It's a pity that under this water, the gun is completely useless, and you can only fight closely." After that, Ge Jin stretched out his finger and tapped a few times in the crowd: "Kurban, Li Ling, Ma Qiang, Zhao Rui, the five of us will stand in five directions at that time." If those long basilisks come out, we'll fight back with these daggers. ”

"It would be nice to take these treasures to the ground!" Ma Qiang regretted the authenticity.

"Sooner or later, the bullet will run out, but the dagger will always be sharp!" Gzin said, taking out six daggers from the box.

"Aren't these six daggers? Why did you just count five people? Qin Xiaoyu asked.

"Because I'm going to shoot left and right! This is also the prerogative of the commander. Gzin explained.

Qin Xiaoyu reached out and grabbed one of the daggers. "I want a handful, a woman's privilege!"

"This ......" Ge Jin looked at Li Ling, as if asking for his opinion. Holding a dagger in hand means that you may die in the process of protecting everyone.

Li Ling hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Well, but it's not a woman's prerogative, it's a beautiful woman's." Ge Jindao.

"The word beautiful comes out of your mouth, but ......" Qin Xiaoyu muttered, and everyone looked at her curiously. It's a bit harsh! She said unceremoniously.

Ge Jin's fleshy face jerked a few times, and then he swayed and walked in the direction of Qin Xiaoyu.

Li Ling was startled, and hurriedly moved towards Qin Xiaoyu's side, ready for battle.

"Hey!" Ge Jin let out a long sigh. "When I broke up with my girlfriend, she said the same thing! You know? I used to be handsome until ......"

"I believe in you!" Kurban looked at Gzin adoringly, then rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a picture of a baby with clear eyebrows. "Look, I have pictures of him when he was a kid, and it's beautiful."

"Wow!" Others only felt a bout of nausea.

……

When the last time came, there was an oppressive and tragic atmosphere in the rest area.

Some were sobbing quietly, their eyes shivering as they stared into the darkness outside the portholes.

Some whispered comforting to their friends: maybe the situation is not as bad as everyone thinks, maybe the bright sun is waiting for everyone dozens of meters away, maybe the human forerunners are anxiously looking for their traces......

There was still half an hour left, and everyone's eyes fell on the metal door of the material warehouse not far away, each with their own thoughts. The defenders have not come out for a long time, have they even flinched? Or do you have a new plan? Or just want to procrastinate?

In the last quarter of an hour, at last, some people couldn't wait any longer, and they all stood up to ask what kind of trick Ge Jin and the guards were up to.

Just as everyone is ready to act, "Bang! With a loud bang, the metal door slammed open, and twenty-eight guards in tights and trousers broke out in two columns, standing separately on either side in a figure-eight pattern.

With a resolute face and a straight standing posture, no one can find even the slightest hint of retreat in them!

Li Ling, Kurban, Ma Qiang, Zhao Rui, and Qin Xiaoyu followed them out. Dressed in tights for underwater operations, they are superior to their previous defenders in terms of the intensity of their bodies and the aura revealed between their eyebrows. Even more striking was the fact that each of them had a glittering dagger pinned to their waists.

Then, Ge Jin, who was taller than everyone else, with bulging muscles and bronzed skin, wore sunglasses and held guns in both hands, and strode out.

The hissing sound of inhalation continued to sound in the lounge. Apparently everyone was blown away by this cool scene. Especially the two machine guns, which are not intimidating underwater, but only pretend.

This way of appearance was actually planned by them in advance, and they even rehearsed it again, in order to use this powerful aura to bring everyone the belief that they will win.

Seeing that everyone's eyes gradually became hot, the corners of Li Ling's mouth curved slightly, and he once again admired Kurban's cleverness. Of course, there is also Zhao Rui's literary talent, it is said that he is familiar with poetry and books, especially in Song poetry......

After Ge Jin stood still, he first glanced around the crowd coldly, and then took out a page from his pocket, which was a manuscript written by Zhao Rui in advance to boost morale.

"Ahem!" Ge Jin felt that he should use "roar" to invigorate people's hearts at this time, so he cleared his throat and roared loudly: "Eight thousand miles of clouds and moons." Don't wait, it's white...... Teenage head? Empty sorrow...... Jing Kang shame?! ”

Halfway through the reading, Ge Jin stopped, frowned, and said, "This ...... I won't say these sour words, how can I be sad and ashamed?! ”

"Commander Ge, don't dare to say this!" Zhao Rui was so frightened that he hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

"Forget it! I'll use the vernacular! Ge Jin crumpled the manuscript paper in his hand and threw it on the ground. This time, he didn't yell and scream, but said seriously: "Partners, in the name of the earth and mankind, we have not only crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, but also crossed the endless starry sky!" Now, we are one step away from victory. Nothing can stop us from moving forward. The country is watching us, the people are watching us, the earth is ...... Well! Also watching us! ”

Li Ling clenched his already clenched fist vigorously, only to feel a stream of heat swirling around his body, which was the power of faith. He had to look at Ge Jin again, and he was afraid that he could not find a better word to boost morale.

And when he looked at the crowd, he was even more surprised. Almost everyone clenched their fists like him, and the emotions were extremely excited. Li Ling asked himself that he would never be able to do this—just a few words could make people have such a strong emotional power.

In the end, Li Ling simply attributed it to the temperament of a leader, thinking that maybe it was something that was innate, but it could not be obtained.

But whatever, he just needs to do what he needs to do. Whether it was what Ge Jin ordered to himself, or what he promised.

He glanced at Qin Xiaoyu, who also looked at him and nodded slightly.

Ge Jin looked at his watch and said in a loud voice: "After ten minutes, the roof of the warehouse will gradually open, everyone pay attention to adjust their breathing, close their mouths and noses before filling the cabin with water, and follow the other guards to quickly move above the water." The most important thing is to stay calm no matter what, if you choke on the water, water monsters and suffocation can kill you! ”

After finishing speaking, Ge Jin nodded to the guards beside him. Everyone notices and begins to move around, scattered around the crowd.

Miao Chuang—the man with his daughter Miao Lan—happened to be next to Li Ling, and he said in a tone that was so polite that it bordered on begging, "Commander Li, if possible, can you help me take care of this child?!" ”

"Of course you can ......" The moment Miao Chuang opened his mouth, Li Ling thought in his heart.

But he couldn't promise the man in front of him, first, the underwater environment was complicated, and there was the threat of water monsters, so he might not be able to pull away. The second is that he can't let Miao Chuang's father and daughter pin their hopes on others from the beginning, so that everyone will be in trouble.

Therefore, Li Ling hesitated a little and then rejected him: "I can't promise you!" That's your responsibility. ”

"Oh! It's me thinking too much! Miao Chuang didn't force it, just nodded and retreated.

For a father who loves his daughter very much, Li Ling felt that his tone was too blunt, and wanted to go up to comfort the man, saying that he would try to pay attention to it.

But at this moment, an amazing vibration suddenly sounded. Immediately afterward, several thick columns of water poured down from the top of the cabin, making huge splashes.

Everyone screamed and began to duck around. Some of them panicked and opened the few remaining cylinders and began to inhale heavily.

As the pressure in the cabin gradually increases, individual people begin to experience various symptoms of discomfort.

Li Ling couldn't see if everyone had serious conditions such as syncope. Even if he had, he knew there was nothing he could do. Now it is no longer possible to care about the safety of a single person.

For a moment, Li Ling remembered the herds of herbivores on the African savannah, which used their numerical superiority to protect themselves. It is equivalent to unconsciously pinning the hope of survival on the calamity of a companion.

They are now in a situation where only the majority called the collective is protected, and each individual person is on his own.

Li Ling couldn't imagine that if these people hadn't undergone special training, how many people would have been able to swim to the surface alive.

The Guardians did a good job, shouting in the crowd and directing everyone to stay where the water had not yet been filled. And always ready to swim out of the cabin.

……

When the current was about to fill the entire cabin, the violently shaking water finally slowed down.

Li Ling was now only his head still exposed in the air, and he saw a tall figure swimming in the direction of the exit of the cabin, which should be Ge Jin.

Li Ling shouted Qin Xiaoyu's name a few times, and immediately got her response, it turned out that she had been staying behind Li Ling all along.

Li Ling secretly blamed himself for being a little flustered, he turned his head and shouted at Qin Xiaoyu, "Go up quickly!" We ......"

Before he finished speaking, a wave came, and Li Ling had no choice but to hold his breath and start swimming towards the exit.

The entire cabin was completely filled with water, and there were several lines of light running through the openings in the roof of the cabin. Others will swim all the way out of the water in the direction of the light. According to the plan, Li Ling and Ge Jin would guard around the pillar of light to prevent those water monsters from attacking.

When Li Ling swam out of the exit at the top of the cabin, he immediately moved a short distance along the top of the cabin towards the outer edge and stayed in the position he had planned before.

Less than ten meters away on the opposite side and not far from his left hand, there were already two tall figures standing there, although the light could not shine on them, Li Ling had already identified those two people as Ge Jin and Zhao Rui.

Immediately after, Qin Xiaoyu and two other figures with daggers in their hands swam up from their feet. Qin Xiaoyu spit out some bubbles in his mouth, and Li Ling couldn't help but be a little worried. Fortunately, Qin Xiaoyu calmly waved her hand at Li Ling, indicating that she had no problem.

They were followed by the others and the remaining guardians, who began to swim only after the water in the cabin had calmed down.

The exit at the top of the cabin had been completely opened, nearly a foot in diameter, and they swam out of it like a school of fish, and quickly ascended.

Li Ling kept moving his gaze while trying to stay still as much as possible. He had to be vigilant and at the same time not to deplete his stamina and the remaining oxygen in his body too quickly.

So far, there is nothing abnormal in his vicinity, and even in the depths of the water grass below the spaceship, there is no shadow of any water monster.

Li Ling looked towards the exit of the cabin, and he felt that everyone's movement was too slow, and only about seven or eight people swam up from the exit at the same time at a time. At this rate, it would take about a minute to swim out of the cabin completely. And that's not even counting the time it takes to swim to the surface. In this way, even without any delay, some people may drown because they can't hold their breath.

Just when Li Ling was distracted, Zhao Rui on the left noticed a strange movement diagonally, and he swung his arm a few times. Caution.
