Chapter 7: Conspiracy Theories
"It's ...... Underwater?! Li Ling said in surprise.
"Hmm." Ge Jin said in a deep voice. "The spaceship has a design for landing on water, but I didn't know it would sink to the bottom!"
"Looking at this pitch black, I don't know how deep it is."
"It's not deep, it's estimated to be thirty meters. We should have landed on the edge of a large body of water. ”
"At this depth, it's a bit of a problem...... That's not right! Li Ling looked at Ge Jin suspiciously. Those forerunners said we would land on the plains. What went wrong? ”
"Who knows, maybe it's a natural disaster, maybe it's a man-made disaster. I said a long time ago that smart people can't be trusted! Ge Jin looked at the crowd behind him.
Li Ling felt a chill down his spine, and said in a low voice: "It's impossible, even if someone can't think about it, there is no need to pull so many people to accompany the funeral?" Have you asked the crew? ”
"Of course you asked, do you think the dignified commander will be a brainless guy?" Gzin grinned. "I almost crippled those guys, they were adamant that no one was making a small move, and there were no technical glitches with the ship. In short, they guessed that there was an error in the information on hand, that is, the information that led us to Sirte. In an emergency, we have only the option of landing here. ”
"Didn't try to contact them? Those who were the forerunners of humanity. ”
"No, those messages were only sent twice to Earth, and they were never responded to again."
"Could it be...... It's a conspiracy?! There are no earthlings on Sirte at all, and it was the intelligent life here that lured us over?! Li Ling finished speaking in one breath before taking a deep breath.
Ge Jin's eyes lit up, and he patted Li Ling's shoulder thoughtfully: "You are a great boy!" Both the body and the brain! I didn't misread you. ”
"Uh...... Wouldn't it smack of conspiracy theories? I just said it casually, and the roots didn't think it through. Li Ling wanted to give himself relief, but he couldn't believe that it was the truth.
"No, the truth often comes to mind." A deep voice sounded behind him, and Kurban came to the two of them at some point. "Maybe the intelligent life here doesn't have developed space technology, so they want to use this method to hijack our spaceships and scientists! to develop their own power. ”
"That's too much imagination, isn't it?!" Li Ling felt a little ridiculous, even though the topic was started by him.
"Shhh...... It must be so! Gzin agreed with Kurban's words. It's no wonder that at the last moment, the top brass of the army insisted on inserting us. Only we, the soldiers, will sacrifice our lives for the safety of the earth. ”
"So, we should keep a close eye on those intellectuals to prevent them from becoming traitors to humanity! For example, Wang Damin who boarded the ship with materials without permission! "Kurban said vigorously and awe-inspiringly." As for us, huh...... I don't seem to have much knowledge to leak......"
Li Ling couldn't interject anymore. With Ge Jin and Kurban singing and harmonizing, the conspiracy theories have completely taken hold. And Gzkin doesn't seem to have any intention of letting anyone else vote.
After the two of them finished discussing, Ge Jin stood up and announced in a loud voice: "Listen, everyone, in the name of the commander-in-chief, I appoint Li Ling as my adjutant, Kurban as the captain of the guard, and all the soldiers are organized into the guard team. Later we will hold a special meeting to decide on the next steps! As for some people......" Ge Jin glanced in the direction of Wang Damin, and said coldly: "It's okay to do it yourself!" ”
……
In a small room, Ge Jin got together with Li Ling and Kurban.
Gaddin likened the meeting to the triumvirate meeting of the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain during World War II, and he firmly believed that the enemy of Sirte was already on the shore and that a strict landing plan must be formulated.
This made Kurban excited, and he contributed a lot of good ideas with passion.
For example, divide everyone into squads, and place a similar number of guardians in each squad to train them in the art of fighting. Then before the oxygen runs out, everyone comes to the surface and rushes together. Kurban called it the Catfish Project.
Or send a few strong and loyal guards with the few sets of diving equipment to scout secretly, and then come back at any time to report, and if the enemy lets down their guard, everyone will immediately surprise and land.
Only then did Li Ling discover that Kurban was honest and honest in appearance, but his mind was lively. He only added at the end: "Why can't these plans be implemented together?" ”
"Smack!" Ge Jin slapped the door of his brain, startling Li Ling. "That's it!"
……
When he went out, Chen Guyi was speaking loudly in the crowd. Everyone didn't even notice that Ge Jin and Li Ling had already opened the door and walked out.
"Who do they think they are? Why should everyone listen to them? There are only seven or eight sets of diving equipment, and Ge Jin keeps all of them for himself, do you want to keep them alone? At the very least, we should let everyone draw lots! Willing to gamble and lose. ”
An old man who looked to be in his fifties also walked up and echoed: "That is, it's great to fight well, right?" Liu Guanzhang? Taoyuan three knots? Let's act collectively in a moment to force them to hand over their equipment. ”
The eloquence of the two is good, and the old man seems to be quite prestigious, and everyone who says it is angry. They all shouted for Ge Jin to hand over the diving equipment. Even a few GIs standing in the corner looked at each other and couldn't make up their minds.
"These bunnies! Does Uncle need to wear that thing?! Ge Jin let out a low curse and slammed straight forward from the crowd, kicking his foot out before he could reach his side.
"Boom! Boom! "Two sounds, the old man and Chen Gu are prostrate on the ground." Who else is not convinced? Come up and theorize! ”
"Me!" The old man who had fallen trembled and stood up. When he fell to the ground just now, he was face down, and his face was covered in blood, which looked terrifying. "Even if you break all the bones of my old body, you won't accept it!"
Whispers sounded in the crowd, probably saying that the old man was Wang Dafu, a respected mechanical expert, who had been the leader of the Fire Orange Project and the Vulture Hunting Project, and even many people in the crowd had served under him.
No matter how reckless Ge Jin is, he knows that it is time to rein in, and the rabbit will bite when he is in a hurry.
"Yes, I don't accept it!" A little fat man came out of the crowd and stood directly beside the old man. "Even my mentor dares to fight? There are only about 30 of you soldiers who joined later, and we ...... Including these children, there are more than 200 people. If you really have to fight hard, it's not certain who loses and who wins! ”
"Smack!" The old man mustered up all his strength and slapped the fat man hard. "Don't make a mess, okay? We're just asking for an explanation, what are you pulling those kids for? ”
"Yes, yes, yes, ask for an explanation!" The fat man was not angry, and covered his face with a smile.
"I'm not convinced!"
"I'm not convinced!" ……
A series of angry voices echoed through the crowd, and many people began to approach the old man, as if to take his lead.
The crowd was divided into two groups, with the old man as the leader. and the team of guardians led by Ge Jin.
"Okay, if you don't accept it, I will accept it!" Ge Jin didn't explain much, and directly opened the door of the small warehouse. "There are three sets of diving equipment. Discuss your portions. ”
"This ......" The old man looked at the crowd around him, his eyes eager, and he also made a difficulty. This is not just a monk with more porridge and less wow! If he really catches lots, I'm afraid that he will be messed up all of a sudden, and then his prestige will be useless.
"In this way, give me a set of equipment, and I'll go out for everyone to explore the way first." The little fat man rolled his eyes and volunteered to stand up. "I'm a snorkel swimmer, and I used to ...... in the snorkeling enthusiast club at university."
There was a commotion in the crowd for a while, and then it quieted down. It seems that no one else has done better.
"That's the only way, since this little brother brought it up first, let him help everyone explore the way!" The old man nodded, which was considered to be the agreement of everyone. "But you don't want to go back forever!"
"Master! Who do you think of me?! The little fat man's face turned red all at once. If I don't return, I won't have a son! ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and laughed hehehe: "It's all said and done, can I stop you?" Remember, one is to estimate the depth of the water, the second is to see how far from the shore, the third is to see if there is any danger on the shore, and the fourth is to ......"
"I know, I know......" The fat man grabbed a set of equipment, and with the assistance of the people around him, it didn't take much effort for him to appear outside the porthole.
Everyone held their breath and watched his every move.
A beam of white light emitted from the wall of the warehouse and hit the fat man's body. He beckoned in the direction of the porthole, and strips of aquatic weeds two or three meters above the porthole rolled under his agitation, almost winding his entire body.
The fat man tossed a few times nimbly, freed himself from the entanglement of the aquatic plants, and then kicked a few hard, and his body began to move diagonally upward.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even if you can't see the fat man's face clearly, everyone can guess that the water pressure outside is not high, and of course the water will not be deep. It doesn't seem like there's any need for scuba gear.
"Great, I can't wait to get up!" Someone is gearing up.
"The previous diving training seems to have paid off."
"I wonder what the hell is going on here? The Cretaceous is fun! Keep a few Tyrannosaurus rex as pets. ”
"Idiot, this is not Earth."
"Doesn't it mean that the universe is the same as the surface environment? Otherwise, why would you go all this far? ”
"It's just close, it's hard to know that the aura here is strong, and the demons are rampant, we just ran into an old monster when we went out, and just put a spell like a meteor fire shower, chain lightning, etc., and immediately wiped out!"
"What nonsense?! Don't you know that woe comes from your mouth? Someone interrupted the discussion in dissatisfaction.
Although it was a joke, the sentence just now still made everyone's hearts tighten.
Outside the porthole, the beam of light faded away with the fat man, disappearing into the darkness.
