Chapter 8: Loss of Contact

In the afternoon, we were still expecting a miracle, but it was in vain, and it was not until the sun was about to set that the bodies of the two soldiers did not come to the surface. The remaining four soldiers www.biquge.info obviously received a lot of blows, and although they remained silent, they were obviously emotional.

In the army, instructors will not allow their soldiers to be in this situation, even if they are crazy, it is better than being silent, because it is a look of despair. "A soldier should never have a sense of despair no matter what the situation, especially on the battlefield". This is the most serious sentence that squad leader Wang said when he gave our recruits the first lesson.

With a hint of reluctance and uneasiness, everyone began to pack up their things, and when the last rays of the sun did not fall on the mountain, we embarked on the way home in the evening breeze.

Seeing us come back, my mom blamed us for not coming back for dinner at noon while eating the food, but she seemed to see that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so she didn't say anything. And this lifeless atmosphere made me feel very uncomfortable, and I only had a meal after a day, but everyone had the feeling that they couldn't eat, especially those soldiers, who basically didn't touch the food.

After dinner, Professor Zhang called me and Biaozi and Lao Cai to his room, saying that they had something to discuss. So far, although Biaozi and I are still outsiders, Professor Zhang still wants to call us over whenever something happens, not only because I know something about Biaozi and I, but more importantly, Professor Zhang wants to know more about the water monkeys from us.

When they arrived at Professor Zhang's room, everyone did not speak, and Professor Zhang first boosted morale and said: "I said comrades, don't be emotional, although the four of them have sacrificed, we are still alive, so we should be proud of them, we should not be depressed, and we should finish their unfinished business, which can be regarded as an explanation to the dead." ”

Professor Zhang's eloquence is not very good, but these few sentences are quite presentable, and the tone of voice plays a certain encouraging role in all aspects.

Sure enough, the four soldiers raised their heads at once, their eyes were firm, and their faces were a little more resolute, led by a soldier named Xiaohu, he said: "The professor is right, we must uncover the mystery of the water monkey, otherwise we will be sorry for the dead brother." The other three chimed in.

"Hmm!" Professor Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Then now, let's discuss the safest plan for launching the water, according to the picture taken by the probe last time, the black crack at the bottom of the pool, nine times out of ten is the nest of water monkeys, if we want to figure out what they are, we must go there to see, so ......"

Before Professor Zhang's words were finished, Biaozi became excited first, and he asked with surprise and anger: "Did you get water in your head?" It's so dangerous down there, are you still going to go down? Isn't there enough people who are afraid of death? ”

As soon as Biaozi finished saying this, Professor Zhang's expression changed all of a sudden, and he became very gloomy, it was the first time I had seen him like this, and compared with him before, it was like two people.

Professor Zhang heard the meaning of the words in the label, he didn't treat those soldiers as people, but this Professor Zhang was a person with a deep city, and he didn't get angry because of this, or he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and on the surface he still asked the label very calmly: "Do you have a better way?" ”

Biaozi originally planned to raise a bar with Professor Zhang, but he didn't expect that Professor Zhang would have such a good cultivation, and when he was asked by the other party like this, he was stunned first, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, thought about it and said: "Of course I have a way, that ...... The solution is to drain all the water in the black pool, so that the water monkeys have nothing to hide, and we can go down and catch them. ”

Although the standard has temporarily thought of a way to prevaricate, but this method is obviously wrong, and the wrong is outrageous, although this black water pool is not very wide, and the water is not very deep, but the black water pool is just in the middle of the mountains, I am afraid that the water in the entire black water pool comes from the inside of the mountain.

In this case, no matter how much you open the floodgates to release water, it will be useless, because soon, the water in the soil of the mountain will fill the black pool again, so this method will not work.

Professor Zhang sneered, he said unhurriedly: "It's a joke, I've never heard of it, who can have the ability to drain all the water in the pool, but even if you can do it, what?" I'm afraid that by the time you drain all the water, the water monkey will already hide in the crack in the rock, and who knows how deep that crack is? Will there be water in there too? If it's deep and it's filled with water, what are we going to do then? What's more, once the water level of the black water pool is lowered, it will inevitably attract the attention of the water monkeys, in case they migrate at night and hide in the mountains, or find another water source, then after we drain the pool, won't it be in vain? ”

I have never met such a powerful person, Professor Zhang almost at a thought, the proposal proposed by the standard was vetoed, and very keenly said the wrong reasons for doing so, and what needs to be taken into account. Obviously, he was more prescient in his thinking, unlike those of us who only make a fuss about it.

The standard was speechless for a while, because what people said was very reasonable, even if you want to be mad, you have to have a reason not to, you can't just shout with people indiscriminately!

The mark stood there with a red face, barely finding a crack in the ground to get into. I smiled and patted him on the shoulder, motioning for him to sit down and listen to what the others had to say, so as not to be so excited. Biaozi smiled nonchalantly to hide his embarrassed expression.

Seeing the mark and remaining silent, Professor Zhang nodded with satisfaction, in case others interrupted when he was talking, Professor Zhang looked at everyone present with sharp eyes, and then asked, "Who has a better opinion?" You may wish to speak for reference. ”

Don't look at Professor Zhang's speech, but he is a real thorn, think about the fate of the target, I think it is the best answer to be silent, who wants to be bored with himself, just try, sure enough, everyone shook their heads, and waited for Professor Zhang to say the following.

Seeing that everyone didn't react, Professor Zhang naturally continued: "Since there is none, let's talk about my opinion." Although the water monkey is very ferocious, it is still a creature after all, and it is not a monster, so we still have a way to deal with them. I think this action has already taken a stagger, so we have to go into the water again tomorrow, and this time, we can't be careless, we have to do a good job of launching the water. ”

At this time, Lao Cai put forward his own opinion, he said: "What the professor said is very right, but I personally think that in order to avoid accidents, the personnel who go into the water cannot be dispersed, and it is best to be in a group of four, so that the overall vigilance is improved, and the water monkey is very sensitive in the water, and it is necessary to bring a military dagger in close combat." ”

"I agree with that, as I do." After Professor Zhang finished speaking, the meeting ended here, and the task of Biaozi and I was still the same as during the day, responsible for guarding and preventing unrelated personnel from entering the vicinity of the Black Water Pool.

Before leaving the next day, just as Biaozi and I were about to set off with Professor Zhang, my eldest brother secretly stopped the two of us and asked us if something had happened and why we didn't say anything last night. also said that the grandfather of the standard said that the standard and I were in the water, and we should not mix with that file.

Biaozi and I hurriedly told my brother to rest assured, and left in a hurry after a few perfunctory words.

When I arrived at Heishuitan, the situation was the same as yesterday, but the atmosphere was a little dull, the four navies prepared their own equipment, and did not say a word superfluous, and the three of the Oceanic Bureau were manipulating the instruments and equipment on the side, but Lao Cai had not yet come.

After everything was ready, Professor Zhang came to my side, and when I saw him in full armor, I thought to myself, should he go into the water too? Professor Zhang said: "This time, no one is sure that everything will go well, in case we have a situation below, when Captain Cai comes, you tell him not to make a claim, let him call the city government, and say that something happened to us, and then the top will naturally send someone down to deal with it." But after all, this incident happened in your village, and I hope you can do a good job of this secrecy measure. ”

I nodded and said that it was no problem, and Professor Zhang left with peace of mind, and not long after, he led the few naval soldiers into the water.

Biaozi said a little surprised: "I really can't see it, this old guy is so old, and he still has to be strong, I'm sure that if you want to say who is the first to have an accident, that person must be this old man." ”

Early in the morning, the villagers took advantage of the fact that the sun was not very strong, either to work in the fields, or to play cards together. Didn't you eat too much? So I sat on the grass with Biaozi and did nothing, looking extremely bored, idle and idle, Biaozi couldn't stand the pain of loneliness the most, so he dragged me to find the comrades of the three Oceanic Bureaus for a while.

The staff of the three oceanic bureaus are not very old, maybe younger than me and Biaozi's age, the three of them always talk with a nerdy atmosphere, he will answer a sentence if you ask, if you don't ask, he will be silent, chatting for a while, Biaozi can't stand it, and complains on the side.

After a few days of getting along, the three Oceanic Bureaus also fully knew the temperament of the standard, basically ignoring what he did, shaking their heads, and keeping their eyes on the computer screen.

There are five small grids on the screen, and one grid has a picture in it, and I know that's because Professor Zhang and they all wear miniature cameras. And the pictures in these five small grids are the content taken by the people below, so we can clearly see their underwater situation on this computer.

We saw Professor Zhang leading four navy officers to the bottom of the pond and quickly dived to the bottom of the pool, at this time, Professor Zhang made a few gestures, meaning that the five people divided into two groups and went separately to find the crack in the stone. A few people nodded, and they were divided into two groups, Professor Zhang with the little beard, and the other three people in a group.

It didn't take long for Professor Zhang to find the crack in the stone, and then made a gesture to the video camera, meaning to ask the people above to call back the other group of people, and then I learned that Professor Zhang also brought a miniature headset, but they had oxygen tubes in their mouths, and they couldn't open their mouths to speak, and could only accept messages from others.

Soon, the five of them gathered in one place, and Professor Zhang pointed to the crack in the stone, and then to the gun in their hand, meaning that they should always be ready to meet the enemy. After doing this, Professor Zhang was about to enter the crack on the stone, but he stopped again in the middle of the way, he seemed to have found something on the edge of the crack, and after looking at it for a long time, Professor Zhang was a little reluctant to enter the crack, and the others followed.

At this moment, the picture on the computer screen suddenly distorted, and then something similar to interfering radio waves appeared, flashed a few times, and the screen of the five videos was all black. A staff member named Xiao Jiang immediately panicked and shouted into the microphone: "Professor Zhang, come back quickly!" ”

And the other named Xiao Hei was also anxious, and he asked his companion next to him, "What's the matter?" Could it be that the equipment is malfunctioning? ”

Xiao Jiang immediately shook his head and said: "Impossible, this batch of equipment is all equipment in the army, and the quality must be excellent, not to mention that even if it is a problem with the equipment, it is impossible for it to fail collectively, right?" Most likely, it was Professor Zhang, and they met the water monkeys. ”

Xiao Jiang turned around and said to me anxiously: "Professor Zhang, as soon as they entered the crack on the stone, all the equipment failed, probably because they were attacked by water monkeys, and now we have no way to understand their situation, let alone get in touch with them, so we have to trouble you to inform Lao Cai quickly, and ask him to call the city, and say that Professor Zhang has an accident." ”

Seeing this picture, even if Xiao Jiang didn't bring it up, I would go to inform Lao Cai, after all, Professor Zhang had greeted me in advance about this matter, so I immediately took out my mobile phone and dialed Lao Cai's phone number.

As soon as Lao Cai received my call, he asked what was wrong, obviously because he had a premonition, and I didn't hide it from him, I told him about Professor Zhang's current situation, and according to Professor Zhang's meaning, asked Lao Cai to call the city to ask for support.
