Chapter 2 Fragment 74 Underwater Debris
The water in the pool was extremely quiet, and the white air bag was half-sunk and half-floating on the water, motionless for a long time, like a big fish dying of death.
Lin Xuan couldn't express his exclamation, but felt that modern technology was overcoming the ancient and complex Tibetan land, slowly revealing a qiē hidden element. He admired Donna's persistence, and if it weren't for her perseverance in her pursuit, the two cars would have remained underwater forever and no one cared about.
He crouched down, sucked in, and tentatively probed his left little finger into the water.
The water is cold and gives off a faint fishy smell.
Convinced that the water was non-toxic, he put his entire left hand into the water and stirred it slowly, feeling the stickiness of the cold water. At first glance, the surface temperature of the pool does not exceed 20 degrees Celsius, and according to the general rule that the temperature decreases by 1 degree Celsius for every five meters of water depth, if Donna dives underwater, the temperature is almost below 15 degrees Celsius. It would be a tough test that not any snorkel can withstand.
"How?" Donna walked back, her wetsuit changed, and the streamlined oxygen tank on her back was suspended.
"You must have underwater periscopes, I guess? Please lend me one. Lin Xuan stood up and shook his hand to the water, and the water droplets were like raindrops, creating a circle of ripples on the water.
Donna sighed and pulled a three-section brass periscope from her armpit kit.
This tool can be used as a telescope and magnifying glass in the water, and the water quality of the major water systems in Tibet is very pure, which is exactly what makes this tool useful.
"Actually, don't worry too much about me, these equipment are all from Russia's top military factories, with advanced technology and stable performance, and there will be no mistakes." Donna said.
Lin Xuan took the periscope and smiled gently: "There are no absolutes in the world, just look at the two cars that had an accident." Now, I'm still a little confused as to why the airbag would leave the car and float up. In fact, there should be a lot of things in that car that are easier to float than airbags. Generally speaking, the airbag is closely connected to the car's security system, and it is not easy for a strong man to tear it off with his bare hands. What do you say?"
Donna smiled: "I can go into the water and scoop up the airbag and study it carefully."
Lin Xuan shook his head: "Wait a minute."
He knelt on the edge of the pool, inserted the periscope into the water, and then carefully adjusted the focus to bring the edge of the water's visibility closer and closer.
First, he saw a lot of vague fragments, scattered all over the water. The large one is about the same as the desk top, and the small one is like the palm of the hand and the sole of the shoe. The fragments are suspended in the air, not sunk to the bottom. Of course, the bottom of this cold pool is invisible, and it is stored in a dark place where the sun's rays cannot reach.
Usually, what can be suspended in a body of water must be less dense than the density of water before the earth's gravity is defeated by the buoyancy of the water body and makes it out of the water. Cotton, aquatic plants, plastics, clothing, and empty containers all drift around with the slightest turbulence of the water.
Then, a wheel will not appear in the above situation, the wheel falls into the water, will only sink to the bottom, without any special circumstances.
Now, Lin Xuan saw a silver wheel, the tire was gone, only the hub was left, and it was lying quietly in the water, neither up nor down. In his experience, the wheel came from Donna's companion's off-road vehicle.
Because he recognized the wheel, he half-looked and half-guessed, and also understood the nature of the other fragments. They all came from the same off-road vehicle, but after some violent destruction, it turned from a sturdy and stable vehicle into fragments of various sizes and shapes.
The metal body still ended up like this, let alone the body of a dead man.
"Don Na, you don't have to get into the water, it's pointless, the car has disintegrated into fragments, the periscope can tell you a qiē, take a look." He handed the periscope to Donna.
Donna was taken aback, and immediately leaned over and looked through the guò periscope into the depths of the water body.
Lin Xuan closed his somewhat sore eyes and pondered quietly for a few seconds, forcing his chaotic mind to calm down. There is no answer to this strange thing, because on the way from Ghost Lake Laangcuo to Hantan, there is no steel shredder, no hydraulic car dismantling shears in the scrap yard, only rocks and sand. At best, rocks can break a car, but they can't break it down.
He hates paradoxes, but what exists in front of him is clearly an unsolvable paradox.
Donna observed for five minutes, then put down the periscope, and there were already tears in her eyes.
"Are you sure it's your companion driving away from the car?" Lin Xuan asked.
From Donna's tears, he knew the answer. In other words, after those explorers were killed in the water, they could not even keep their whole corpses, but turned into fragments, and finally dissolved in the water of Tibet.
Their ending, like that of Master Jiahui, gradually dissolved in water, and they went to the same end.
"How so?" Donna's voice trembled, full of sorrow.
"Something terrible must have happened under the water, the ghost lake Laangcuo is not as quiet and stable as it seems, there must be something unspeakable in it. Now, you should understand that going into the water alone will not solve the problem at all"
Lin Xuan's words inspired Donna's courage: "I have to go down and find the black box that the car carryed." Only that thing can tell me what is happening at the bottom of the lake. ”
Lin Xuan was helpless, knowing that it was useless to dissuade, so he had to compromise: "Okay, you go down, I will watch the enemy sweep the formation, but you must promise me that if there is a slight mistake, you must return immediately."
Donna nodded, opened the hidden pocket under her right armpit, and with a slight pull, a modified short gun landed in the palm of her hand.
"The gun is given to you, to protect yourself and me." She said.
Lin Xuan didn't shirk, and immediately took the short gun and periscope. In extraordinary times, there is no need to be polite, because the fates of two people are tied together, and they must do their best to think about each other and protect each other in order to protect themselves.
"In the past, my companions and I had to go through thousands of cooperative exercises to achieve a tacit understanding and a clear heart. This time, please. Don Na's words were not clear, but Lin Xuan could feel that the two had relied on each other, and both were indispensable.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best to be your back. If you don't come back, we won't leave. Lin Xuan smiled and stretched out his arms.
Donna stepped forward, and the two hugged each other gently.
On the top of the cliff, the idle driver was unwilling to be lonely and let out a joking whistle.
"Great Prophet Ivan? Aurora also told me one more thing" Donna whispered in Lin Xuan's ear, the hot breath from her mouth gently spraying on his face, "This time in Tibet, I will meet the love of this life." No matter what the future holds, I will thank her for her words, for Mr. Luo Yuan for summoning me here, and for letting me meet ...... Meet someone. ”
A shy smile appeared on her face, which was the demeanor that a girl who had never been in love would only show when she met someone who fell in love at first sight, which deeply moved Lin Xuan.
"Alright, that's it." Donna propped herself up on Lin Xuan's chest, her body retreated, and the smile on her face receded, "Start working." ”
Lin Xuan sighed, a thousand words, condensed into only two words: "Be careful."
Tang Na went into the water gently, first took the airbag back and handed it to Lin Xuan.
Her strokes are very light and you can tell at a glance that she has been rigorously trained.
"I'm 100 percent sure that the airbag came from that car. It's hard to figure out how the car disintegrated, but I think we'll find out soon. Donna said resolutely.
Lin Xuan stretched out his hand, and Tang Na jumped up gently, clapping her hands with Lin Xuan crisply, making a "snap" sound. Then, with a sinking of her body, she slid into the deep water like a fish, her legs swinging lightly, straight to the debris deep in the water.
For some reason, Lin Xuan vaguely felt tightness in his chest, as if he felt depressed before the summer rainstorm was approaching. He looked around, the weather was fine, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, there were a few white clouds in the shape of cotton wool floating in the blue sky, and the scenery was normal.
"Hey, is there a situation?" He waved to the top of the cliff.
The driver raised his shotgun and swayed it from side to side in the air, indicating that he was safe.
Lin Xuan lowered his head to check the gun, and first withdrew from the magazine, which contained twelve steel-tipped bullets. The prototype of the gun was a large-caliber military pistol used by the Russian special forces, with a shortened handle that was reduced to half the original size and a barrel that was twice as long. This modification maximizes the accuracy of shooting, and in the palm of an expert, the gun can even surpass that of an ordinary assault rifle.
"I really doubt she is," Lin Xuan muttered to himself.
He didn't want Donna to have anything to do with the military, because that would leave the two of them on a mountain that they couldn't cross, and they couldn't even be friends.
Suddenly, he woke up, retracted his chaotic thoughts, inserted the periscope into the water, and gently adjusted the focus to focus on Donna.
Donna was a good diver and soon approached the location of the debris of the car. Suddenly, her progress was thwarted, and her body struck sideways and stopped.
Lin Xuan adjusted his focus again, and looked at Tang Na's front with wide eyes, but he didn't notice anything unusual. Next, Donna swiped her arm and moved sideways, as if a transparent glass wall had appeared in front of her, and she could no longer find her way.
"What's going on? Could it be that there is a layer of isolation in the middle of this cold pool, separating the water body into two worlds?" Lin Xuan was shocked.
After all, Hantan is a natural formation, a part of nature, and there are no man-made elements in it. If there is an isolation layer, it only means that it is also the product of artificial construction.
Lin Xuan was a little anxious, watching Donna wander and glide on a horizontal plane, using both hands and feet, to find a breakthrough to go down.
Now, the fragments are there, indeed suspended in mid-air.
Lin Xuan had a strange feeling, he thought from the strange situation in front of him, the fragments seemed to be embedded in the water, if he imagined the world under Donna's body as a large piece of glass, a suspicious point could be explained.
