Chapter 121. Individual underwater propulsion
The water was a little cold, and Liszt, who had already put on a wetsuit, was slowly sliding down the hemp rope under the slightly flowing water under the cave. Wearing flippers legs swayed slightly, he immediately floated dexterously on the surface of the water, wet hands on his lips to try it, the sour and salty sea water made him frown slightly, but he took a deep breath, put on the goggles hanging around his neck, Liszt gestured a thumbs up: "The water is cold, it's best to warm up your body in advance." ”
Above him, the thirteen members of the Marines at the entrance of the cave were also stretching quickly, and they knew that diving or swimming in this deep autumn season must warm up their bodies without additional advice from Liszt. Otherwise, after entering the water, the cold sea water will instantly cramp the limbs, and if this happens, then they will immediately become wounded, dragging down the progress of the whole army.
Although the seemingly thin layer of wetsuits they wore could provide thermal insulation, the biting chill of the sea still made divers who despise the sea feel the deep malice. Although these young men of the Marine Corps are new recruits, they are also very familiar with the sea as they belong to the naval combat unit. As their bodies gradually warmed up, they also put goggles on their eyes, straightened the oxygen tank on their backs and the backpack containing all kinds of necessary items, and then also extended a thumbs up to Liszt, and all nodded and said, "Ready." ”
"Very well, let's go."
Liszt, who had an excellent physique, was not afraid of the icy water, he reached out and pulled the breathing apparatus on the oxygen tank into his mouth, and his whole body sank into the water. With that mouth inhaling deeply the air in the oxygen tank. The feeling of not being able to breathe in the water suddenly lessened slightly. And Liszt opened his eyes. Looking at the dark water, the underwater lamp on his forehead that emitted a faint light had also been turned on by him, and the dark water surface was slightly brighter.
Liszt dragged out the small and stubby underwater thruster behind him with his backhand, held the left and right like motorcycle handlebars with both hands, turned on the start button, and with the time, power, predicted water depth and other indicator symbols appeared on the waterproof display, the slight engine sound has also sounded inside the thruster. Strands of tiny bubbles also appeared in the opening at the tail, indicating that this new guy in special operations had been completely activated.
"Puff puff—"
As the waves rippled on the water, there were more than a dozen heavily armed Marines under the water. They also slowly shook their flippers in the water to try to hold their balance, and at the same time, the mouth with the respirator also exhaled a mouthful of air, turning on the underwater light on the forehead, so that the cave full of sea water was filled with faint but visible light.
Seeing that the marines had already gathered, Liszt immediately nodded, and all the personnel were there. The respirator in his mouth spit out a few mouthfuls of exhaled air, and Liszt was also a little hesitant whether to equip it with an underwater intercom system. But looking at the soldiers around him who were quite skilled floating with their bodies, his slightly raised heart had also been put down. These are all members of the Marine Corps who have undergone rigorous training. Even the recruits have a lot of experience. And he stretched out his hand and made a few movements in the pillar of light on his forehead, which also gave his order to the eyes of the soldiers around him: "Five minutes to familiarize yourself with the time, and then leave." ”
"Understood." As Lister slowly clenched his fists and signaled himself to finish, the Marines around him also nodded their heads and stretched out their thumbs to show that they had understood the order. And they also reached behind themselves and took out the underwater thrusters hanging on their backpacks, with the slight humming sound of the engine, the lit up display and the tail vent that spewed countless fine bubbles, which also showed that these underwater thrusters were successfully activated.
As a diving weapon in special operations, these classic vehicles in the previous life "Call of Duty", although they do not have any armed strike capabilities, but they are already powerful helpers for special operations in offshore areas, lakes, rivers and other areas. In the hands of this group of marines, they can play most of the functions of this special vehicle, and even for them, just a simple familiarization with the operation process, they have already driven like a fish in the sea water of this underground cave, and it seems extremely flexible to turn up and down.
And Liszt was also quickly getting familiar with this kind of individual underwater thruster, opened the forward gear, and the specially opened rear notch immediately erupted a series of fine bubbles. This is the bubble created by the engine driving the propulsion system, and the rapidly rotating wheels have broken up the seawater, and the resulting vacuum bubble has a faint thrust forward. Liszt immediately grasped the handles on the left and right sides with both hands, and his whole body was easily floated forward by the underwater thruster, and with the shaking of his flippers and body, he easily changed the direction of his progress, as if he was a fish-man living underwater.
"At eleven o'clock, below, other cave openings were found, and the water flow was relatively turbulent."
Just when Liszt was familiar with the underwater thrusters, a member of the Marine Corps stayed beside him with shaking his flippers, putting the thrusters belonging to him in his hand on standby, and at the same time reached out and patted Liszt's thigh, when Liszt turned his head to look at him, the soldier made a few gestures in the water, and quickly reported to him: "The visual inspection is the exit of the ocean, the turbulent current, does not affect the diving, and there is no other abnormality for the time being." ”
"Cave opening?" Liszt frowned slightly, he slowly turned the forward gear into neutral standby, and a burst of exhaust gas came out of his mouth, following the direction of the marine, and the light on his forehead also shone with the rotation of his neck. But Liszt's brow suddenly loosened, he took a hard breath of oxygen, a smile on his face, a thumbs up to the soldier, and he also turned on the underwater thruster and drove forward, beckoning: "Tell everyone, follow me." ”
His flippers kicked the sea hard, and with the help of the reaction force, he directly adjusted the gear to drive slowly, and as the countless small bubbles appeared in the sea water again, Liszt's whole body was dragged towards the opening of the cave. The thirteen marines behind him also immediately activated the underwater thrusters, hurriedly followed him, and very carefully came to the somewhat turbulent water, and in the light, a tunnel more than three meters wide reappeared in front of him.
At the opening of the cave, the current seemed to speed up, and even if Liszt shook his flippers, his whole body shook with the fluctuations of the current. But looking at the opening of the cave, Liszt's face did not have the slightest fear, and his flippers continued to force the sea water, and he controlled the underwater thruster to float into the cave tunnel. At the same time, he took a deep breath of oxygen, turned his head and gestured to the soldiers behind him: "Keep up, don't fall behind." ”
The 203mm howitzer detonated at close range, not only destroying the elite corps and helicopters of the Soviets, but also completely destroying the fragile geological structure, leading out of the almost tens of millions of years of karst tunnels and appearing in front of Liszt. And these tunnels have also been filled with a large amount of seawater, although ordinary people are not able to pass, but for Liszt, who has the whole system, it is simply easy.
He was like a fish in water in this underwater tunnel, swaying lightly to avoid the strange rocks in it, and the tunnel with a width and height of about three meters also made him not need to reduce his speed too much, as the gear gradually increased, this individual underwater thruster was also rapidly spewing fine bubbles, making Liszt's body as light as a sea fish. And the underwater lamp on his forehead also released light, allowing him to see clearly more than ten meters in front of him, and detect the strange rocks that appeared from time to time due to landslides at that time.
The soldiers of the Marine Corps also followed behind him, controlling their underwater thrusters in an orderly manner, and the tunnel in front of him, which was originally about three meters wide, seemed to be gradually expanding, and finally reached the feeling of a kind of cave. And they don't know how far they have gone, but looking at the time on the display, it seems that they have been diving underwater for nearly five minutes, and their brows are more and more wrinkled, but they are still spitting oxygen and follow closely behind Liszt.
"In the direction, we should be heading east, and we should have entered the sea a long time ago."
However, Liszt looked at the gradually widening cave on the left and right, gradually lowering the forward gear of the underwater thrusters, and frowned slightly at the clear water around him, but his brows were even tighter. The cliff he was on was not more than three meters away from the sea, and he should have entered the straits on the edge of the islands and continents. But Liszt's gaze swept forward, but his gaze couldn't help but be stunned, the underwater thruster in his hand reopened to the maximum, and his body rushed towards the area where the gaze was.
The Marines behind him followed closely, but they all had a look of surprise on their faces. Because less than fifty meters in front of it, a faint light had already appeared in this dim cave, and seeing a faint light in the area where the dive was located, there was no doubt that except for the upper part of the side, it was the wide sea surface that they longed for!
