Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Wolf
This is below the sea ice, standing on the rocks at the bottom of the sea, the sea ice is three or four meters above the head, and the three or four meters thick sea ice hangs down a line of "stalactite ice" of different lengths, and the crystal clear Xiaoice pillars are magnificent, extending into the distance. Although it is not pitch black under the ice, the energy is not high, and you can only see a few dozen meters away.
Everyone was wearing helmets, some had turned on their headlights, and since they had just entered the seabed, electricity had to be saved.
"What about the sea? How is there no water under the ice? A slightly chubby man asked puzzled.
"It's morning, the water is receding, and you can see the water a few hundred meters further ahead. In a few hours, the tide will rise, and the water where we are standing now will be more than three meters deep."
A few people who didn't quite understand why there was no seawater here just now suddenly lost their doubts after listening to Nuo Rilang's words.
"At that time, the base of the Japanese army was just three kilometers ahead, and we had to dive more than two kilometers to get there, everyone was ready, you are all carefully selected talents with excellent water nature, and I believe this test will not be difficult for everyone." This time it was He Tiegun who spoke. These two people sang and sang together, and they worked well together.
The group staggered into the sea, and under their feet were large rocks with a lot of shellfish on them. Between the gaps between the rocks, there are some residues of marine plants such as kelp and nori.
"Wait, what kind of footprints are these?" As soon as Zhao Baixiong's words fell, many people looked down and saw some plum blossom-shaped footprints in the small amount of sand in the cracks of the stones, which looked like dogs', but they were much larger than dogs' footprints. The further you go, the more sand and dirt you have, as the boulders become smaller and smaller, and the plum blossom-shaped footprints become denser and denser.
"It's a wolf's footprints, how can there be so many?" He Tiegun reminded everyone to be extra careful, there are wolves under this sea ice, and the footprints of wolves the size of rice bowls gather in large numbers and extend to the seaside. The wolves living on this wolf island are very large, they mostly feed on marine life, and usually wade in the water, could it be that this wolf pack has gone down to the sea ice to hunt for prey?
Everyone was a little puzzled, searching everywhere for the traces of wolves, there was not a single shadow of a wolf, not even a sound could be heard, under the cold sea ice, only the sound of the waves of the sea in the distance and the heavy breathing of 25 people, and then there was the sound of subtle dripping water. This sound is the sound of the upside-down "stalactite ice" slowly melting, and the sound of water droplets dripping down at a slow speed, and the sound is also very slight because the water droplets are small.
It was very dark all around, and under the illumination of the lights, they could only see forty or fifty meters, and under the dark ice cover, people were very nervous, and they were more afraid of not seeing wolves than seeing wolves. I really don't know if there will be a large group of wolves suddenly pounced from all around the darkness, and people involuntarily moved closer to Huaxiong and Nuorilang, forming two blocking circles.
The footprints of the wolves in the ground all extend to the seashore, and there are two hundred of them, and according to the fact that a wolf has four paws, there should be fifty or sixty wolves here. This group of battle-hardened members is deeply aware of the horror of wolves, especially under the dark ice cap, where there is an extreme lack of shelter, and if the wolves attack, the consequences are unimaginable. Norilang and Pico ordered everyone to load their bullets and shoot as soon as they spotted wolves.
The team formed two circular protective circles and slowly moved towards the sea. The boulders under my feet are gone, and the small pebbles are slowly decreasing, replaced by a moist sandy beach, and there are puddles of different sizes on the beach, and there are many crabs and other creatures in the puddles, and they quickly avoid people when they see them.
The team walked around the puddle, and if anyone accidentally stepped on a stone, the sound of the stone would startle everyone into a cold sweat.
It is right to tremble and walk on thin ice, in the past few years, too many people have died on the road to find gold, in the Snake Valley of Myanmar, in the Toad Ridge of Changbai Mountain, and near this Wolf Island, hundreds of people have lost their lives. Especially more than a dozen hours ago, a member of the team was mysteriously killed by a seal on an icebreaker. Today, these wolves are notorious and vicious killers in the Sea of Okhotsk, and over the years, I don't know how many merchants, travelers, sailors, and natives have died at the hands of these wolves. Seeing so many wolf footprints under the sea ice nowadays, not being afraid that would be bragging.
The fact that the sea had just receded would not have lasted more than two hours, fully indicating that the footprints of these wolves had also been stepped on within two hours. Everyone has carefully observed, the footprints of these wolves are all facing the direction of the sea, could it be that this group of wolves ran to the sea and did not come back, so it is inevitable that the team moving towards the sea will encounter the wolves.
After coming down from the crack in the ice below the cliff wall, I had walked out for nearly a thousand meters, and I did not see the shadow of the wolf or hear the wolf's cry. But the sound of the sea is getting closer and closer, and they are about to reach the seashore, could it be that this group of wolves has ambushed into the sea, waiting for everyone to approach, and they are ready to fight?
The two teams of people, the team of Huaxiong and Ma Qian are 13 people, and the team of Nuorilang and Laoniu is 12 people, and the two teams are about 100 meters apart. They took care of each other and walked forward in harmony with each other, until they reached the seashore and did not see the shadow of a wolf. A large number of footprints of the wolves disappeared on the seashore, and it is strange that the wolves really entered the sea, did they die en masse or did they go to forage en masse? If wolves can swim, it is not strange, but if wolves can go to the sea to hunt, it is new, could it be that the wolves on Wolf Island have evolved the ability to go into the sea to hunt?
The sea is no different, except that here the sea is below the ice. The sea slowly washes over the sand piles, and the sea is about three meters away from the ice above, and if the tide is high, the water will rise to the top of the ice.
After a short break of a few minutes, he ordered everyone to change into wetsuits. It was necessary to travel 2 kilometers in the sea to reach the entrance to the abandoned military base of the Japanese army. Looking into the sea, it was dark, and there was no shadow of the base in sight.
Norilang and He Tiegun told everyone that the base was very large, thirty meters below sea level. The base is designed to be very scientific, like a huge submarine floating in the middle of the sea. The interior of the base is hollow and designed to isolate the seawater, and the exit above the base requires professional equipment to open, and people generally enter from the bottom of the base. Upon entering the base, inside the base is a huge space with air and no water.
After all, they are all young people, and when they hear about this magical building in the sea, there is air in it, they are very curious, and they are looking forward to entering it immediately to see what this magical building that is more than 70 years old is like.
Ma Qian and others tested the temperature of the seawater, it was very cold, close to zero, diving under such a low temperature was a test of body temperature and physical fitness, but fortunately, the distance required to dive was only two kilometers. I really pray that the two big brothers of China and the United States must not get the wrong direction, otherwise they will not be able to find the Japanese military base in the water or find the entrance underwater, and it will be difficult to dive back, and if they don't get it, they will hang under the sea. Besides, there are also the wolves that suddenly disappeared, and they may also be lurking in a certain area of the sea, watching everyone, and will open their mouths to launch a deadly attack at any time.
"I said two captains, this base is so big, is there only this one entrance?"
Zhao Baixiong, who had been silent all the way, finally asked.
"The base is very large, and we only entered it once, and that time we met the Self-Defense Forces searchers, and we estimated that we searched about a tenth of the base at that time. We entered at an entrance below the base a month ago, and the SDF personnel we met inside must have entered through a different entrance. So there is never more than one entrance and exit to this base, but Nuorilang and I only know this one entrance, and we entered and came out of this mouth at that time." He Tiegun's answer was very clear, there must be more than one entrance, but he and Nuorilang knew only one, that is, the one who was about to lead the team in.
Now, no matter how many dangers there are underwater, you can't take care of it, you must enter this underwater castle as quickly as possible, and enter it to be safer. Otherwise, there is no danger in the water, and everyone will be frozen to death, and at such a low temperature, people will lose their body temperature very much, and they will have to finish playing for more than 40 minutes.
Everyone enters the preparation stage and takes off their thick outdoor winter clothing. All that's left is a sweater or thermal underwear, change into a wetsuit, and put the cotton in a waterproof bag and put it in the backpack.
Entering the water, two teams of people enter the sea one after the other. The sea water went from shallow to deep, and the biting cold spread quickly from the bare feet to the whole body. Fortunately, it is from shallow to deep, if you jump into the deep water area and drown your body completely, someone may be crushed by the sudden extremely low temperature, and your hands and feet will be paralyzed and you will die in the water.
After walking 150 meters into the sea, we entered the deep water area, and everyone adjusted their body posture to enter the swimming state, and followed the old beautiful big man in front of me, Norilang, to swim to the middle of the sea.
The water was really too cold, and before he swam out of 500 meters, Ma Qian felt that his hands and feet were numb, so he could only increase the action and rhythm of hitting the water, and use a large amount of exercise to increase his body temperature. Ma Qian looked back at Zhao Qingmai and the others behind him, they also used the same method, through rapid strokes, to increase the heat.
Now not to mention the danger, this cold sea water alone is enough to kill everyone, and from now on, everyone will have to freeze to death in the sea water in less than 30 minutes. This is a life-fighting journey, a journey with no return, and if you can't find the entrance to the base, no one will come back alive.
