Chapter 48: Exploration
I walked to the tent where Captain Cao lived. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info at this time, he was still discussing something with Professor Li and Master Zhang. When they saw me coming in, they all stopped and looked at me.
I hurriedly asked, "Listen to Dr. Lin, it seems that we have been being watched by some people recently?" Is it true? ”
"Yes!" Captain Cao said, "Recently, I found someone Qiao Zhuangcheng fishermen watching us in the river! ”
"Could it be that our operation has leaked?" I asked.
"I don't know!" Captain Cao said, "I also found that our instruments have been used!" Although the men put the instruments back in their original positions, out of professional vigilance, I made some subtle moves in all the instruments, and I could know if someone moved them! ”
At this time, I was even more surprised and said, "Actually walked under the noses of more than a dozen PLA people and was not discovered?" Who could this be? ”
"I already have a little bit of an eyebrow in my mind. But there are a lot of questions that I still can't figure out! ”
I was about to ask, but Captain Cao made a stop gesture to signal me not to ask again.
"You don't have to worry about that! I'll take care of it when we're done! We don't have time to bother with that now. Just be alert. Captain Cao said, "You should be careful when you usually move around, I will arrange someone to protect you!" ”
Since Captain Cao didn't want me to ask about it, it was probably not within my right to know, or he didn't want me to go deep and get into danger. After all, I've always been a laggard now.
Then I changed the subject, which I was also curious to know.
"How's your investigation?" I asked.
Captain Cao looked at Professor Li and Master Zhang next door, but did not say anything.
"Can't I know about this?" I asked.
"It's not that you can't know!" "You probably won't believe it just by saying it!" ”
"You've all seen it with your own eyes, I can't believe it!" I say.
"Just as the Dragon Vein map says!" It was Master Zhang who spoke, "The dragon vein that failed to take off died in Shiziyang and became a resentful spirit. We saw a monster in the river! ”
I looked at Master Zhang with wide eyes, and no wonder they would say I didn't believe it. I am highly educated, and I am a forensic doctor by profession. I didn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods at first, but after the encounter with the underground ruins of Yongtou Mountain, my worldview was severely damaged. Even so, it's hard for me to believe that there is such a thing as a dragon ghost in the Lion Ocean.
"What do you see?"
"I'll start at the beginning!" Professor Li said, "We came here according to the map of the dragon vein and the text recorded in it. However, the location was not precise enough, so Master Cheung and Professor Chan used their knowledge of Feng Shui and architecture respectively to narrow down the target. In the end, we found a few suspicious places. After investigation, it is very likely that the bundle of gods is underneath a certain body of water. ”
"Underwater?" I said, "Is that legend recorded next to the map of the dragon vein true?" Impossible, no matter how powerful a rope is, it will definitely be nothing after soaking in water for hundreds or thousands of years! ”
"No!" "It's the bottom of the water. ”
I felt confused at first, but it was clear all at once.
"Is there room under the water?"
"Yes!"
Professor Li: They began to figure out how to get to the space under the water. So they first arranged for a few PLA soldiers to dive into the water to observe the situation. Because it was night, the field of vision was limited, so I didn't notice anything at first. But we kept searching.
It was winter, and in order to avoid accidents caused by hypothermia among the partners who went into the water, Captain Cao divided the PLA soldiers into several groups and took turns to enter the water in groups. When it was the turn of the third group, a PLA soldier who was searching near the center of the river suddenly kept slapping the water, as if trying to swim upstream, but then sank again. It is probably because he didn't do enough warm-up exercises before entering the water and had cramps. Know that cramping in the water is a deadly thing.
Captain Cao, who was on the shore, hurriedly signaled another member of the team closest to the cramp team member to come to the rescue. But after the rescuer swam near the cramped man, he also kept slapping the water, as if he was cramping again. Captain Cao immediately motioned for everyone in the water to come over and help! But as soon as everyone got closer, they all had cramps. The people on the shore were very surprised, and at the same time secretly said in their hearts that it was not good.
Captain Cao immediately asked all the PLA soldiers with climbing ropes to take out the ropes and then connect the climbing ropes. Finally, a warrior tied a rope to his body and swam near the cramps. When the other cramping soldiers saw someone coming with a rope, they also swam over and grabbed it. Captain Cao ordered several fighters on the shore to pull up their companions in the water.
Unexpectedly, after the soldier who swam over approached the people in the water, he also had cramps, and at the same time as the cramps, accompanied by a huge force, he almost pulled the four PLA soldiers who were pulling ropes on the shore into the water. They slid forward some distance on the sand before stopping.
Seeing this, the others immediately came over to help pull the rope.
Master Zhang's face turned green and said, "It's not good, they're not cramping, they probably have encountered something unclean!" ”
"What's not clean?" Captain Cao asked.
"It could be a monster in the river!" Master Zhang said, "Everyone hurry up, otherwise the people in the water will die." ”
In addition to the PLA soldiers on the shore, there were nine people on the shore, including Professor Li, Professor Chen, Master Zhang, and the commissioner, and they pulled the five soldiers in the water to the shore, but they couldn't pull them. At this time, they don't know the bottom in their hearts, what kind of thing has so much strength?
Not only did they not pull their companions up in the water, but because they had been sawing for too long, they gradually could not match the strength of the water, and they were constantly pulled into the water. The resistance of the partners in the water is also getting weaker and weaker. Seeing that if this continues, the companion in the water will definitely not be saved.
Captain Cao is trying to figure out a way. At this time, he found that there was still a climbing rope that he didn't use, and immediately went to get the climbing rope. As soon as Captain Cao's hand was released, the person pulling the rope on the shore was immediately pulled forward more than a meter. The first few people had been pulled into the water, and the water had submerged to their thighs. If you continue like this, you can only abandon your companions in the water, or all of them die together.
Captain Cao picked up the remaining climbing rope and spliced it at the back of the rope, and he ran backwards while putting the rope. He ran to the woods on the shore, found the nearest trees that were relatively thick, tied the rope to several trees at the same time, and tied a strong knot. At this time, the people on the shore were able to recover their strength.
"This is just a delaying tactic, and it can't save your companions in the water! Hurry up and think of a way! Professor Li said.
"I've already figured it out!" Captain Cao said.
"What's the solution?"
"It doesn't matter if the thing in the water is a monster or a big fish, you have to fight with it!"
