Chapter 102: Into the Water
Was it strangled to death?
As soon as I stared, there weren't many striped creatures living underwater, and even fewer with enough strength to strangle an adult man.
Water snake? Or something else?
I half-squinted my eyes, it's hard to say, in this world, there are not many unknown species hidden in the shadows.
In the tomb with the cripple before, in that underground river, I encountered something I had never seen before, that extremely painful sense of restraint, and I still haven't forgotten it to this day.
That thing is called a shadow leech, and the force of strangulation is quite large, almost the leg bones are completely strangled, if there is a similar thing in this water, then the death of these divers is really not unjust.
Just as I was thinking, Qian Lao had already told everyone and sent everyone to the room.
I chose a room in the corner and slowly placed my luggage in the corner of the room.
The roommate has a sealed window on the ship, so you can see the outside scene clearly.
Under the reflection of the sun, the waters of Poyang Lake are close to silver, and it is hard to imagine that this seemingly beautiful water area is actually the place of the famous death.
The boat headed towards the center of the water, and the waves kept receding behind the boat, and soon reached the center of the water, and the boat slowly stopped.
Before anyone could call me, I opened the door to my room and headed out onto the deck.
At this time, there were already three or four people standing on the deck, staring at the waters of Poyang Lake.
"This is the Devil's Triangle of Poyang Lake." The man standing at the front looked like the captain in front of him.
He turned his head and said to Qian Lao on the other side of the splint.
Qian Lao nodded, and at this time, there were not only people on the deck, but also a large amount of diving equipment.
According to this stance, it is clear that it will not be long before the water is going to be launched.
I picked up the hiking bag that I put aside, to be honest, this time the equipment that Mr. Qian prepared for us was a specific work bag, which was very space-saving, and the tool kit inside was wrapped with waterproof membrane.
"Little brother, you go and call them together, and they're ready to go into the water."
At the mention of going into the water, Qian Lao's face became very serious, and I also understood why, and I didn't dare to be careless.
"Okay, old money." I nodded immediately, and went straight down the deck, knocking on the door from room to room.
It took only a few minutes to call all the 14 people who were in charge of going down to the tomb to the deck.
Standing on the deck, Qian Lao looked around at everyone, and his gaze only stayed for a moment before landing on some diving equipment.
"Everyone is here, put on the diving equipment, and we are ready to go into the water!"
Qian Lao snorted lightly, and took the lead in putting on a diving suit, although he didn't see Qian Lao during the diving training, but Qian Lao wore diving equipment at a faster speed than those of us who had been trained.
Halfway through our wear, Qian Lao was already completely dressed.
However, our speed was not too slow, and we were all worn in a while.
"Down!"
Qian Lao simply spit out a word, and the whole person instantly jumped back and jumped in, smashing a ripple on the surface of the lake.
Immediately afterwards, the rest of the people followed Qian Lao and jumped into the water one by one.
This is the first time I've been outdoors in the water, and although the wetsuit has a certain thermal insulation function, I can still feel the cool feeling in the water.
The bottom of the water is very dark, and even though the light has been cut in half before diving into the depths of the water.
I turned on the diving lamp above my head, and I could clearly see that there were many fish swimming in this water.
Everyone was not far from the location, and all of me turned on the diving lights one after another, and the 14 diving lights illuminated the nearby waters quite clearly.
Qian Lao, who led the way at the front, slowly turned his head, pointed his finger downward, and made a gesture to go down.
I nodded, and immediately dived underwater.
The others did the same, and began to dive underwater.
As you go deeper and deeper, you can clearly feel that the surrounding environment is getting quieter and quieter, if you say that when you are in the shallow water, you can occasionally hear the sound from above the water, and the only sound you can hear as you dive in is your own breathing.
I could also clearly feel that the water pressure was getting stronger and stronger, and this was a real lake after all, much deeper than the deep water of the pool.
It's a completely different experience in between.
I followed the man in front of me closely, and it would be terrible to be alone under this water, and almost no one could save me.
The weight on everyone's body is not small, in addition to carrying a large oxygen tank, there is also a mountaineering bag with tools in the front section.
But suddenly, the man in front of me was not moving forward, but was struggling where he was, his hands clasping his neck as if he were trying to get something off his neck.
However, by the dim light of the diving lamp, nothing could be seen on the man's neck, only a deep depression.
At this moment, I had a creepy feeling.
I'm all too familiar with the cold to get cooler at the moment, it's a shadow leech!
Through the diving goggles, I could already faintly see the man's pleading expression.
However, in the next moment, I gritted my teeth fiercely, and the speed of my dive instantly accelerated, and I was about to leave that person behind and follow the team.
I can't save him.
The leeches can't be seen or touched, and the strength of the entanglement is very strong, and there is no way to solve it with manpower.
When I was entangled by a shadow leech, it was the black dog's blood that saved my life, and this is the bottom of the water, and the black dog's blood can't be swept away.
Even if I could, I probably wouldn't have risked my life.
In a body of water, there is definitely not only one leech, and if you stay in this place for a long time, no one can guarantee that you will not be entangled by other leeches.
I don't know him, and even if I see him twice, I will only choose to save him if I can guarantee my life and have the ability.
But the man's eyes full of resentment before he died pierced my heart like a knife.
I silently calmed down in my heart, and continued to go into the deep water.
Because of the delay for a while, I was a little too far away from the last person, and I could only look at a shadow from a distance by the diving lamp.
I let out a long breath, bubbles spitting out from my mouth, and the next moment my feet sped up even more.
After this period of training, my extreme diving speed is not slow, and I can be regarded as average in the team, which is much faster than the normal diving speed of the current team.
