Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Shellfish Pickers Under the Sea
Huaxiong's face has been distorted, He Tiegun, a well-known tough guy, and the king of brave and resourceful newcomers who have emerged in the past two years, have disappeared in a daze, and may have fallen from now on. The life and death of the 11 people led by Nuo Rilang are now unknown, and there has been no sound on the walkie-talkie, which seems to be more than lucky, and now He Tiegun has a problem.
The importance of Norilang and He Tiegun to Huaxiong's team is self-evident, these two have been to the Sea of Okhotsk many times, and are very familiar with the area around Wolf Island, and it was they who led the team to risk death to discover this Japanese military base in those years. It also pointed to the whereabouts of the 5 tons of gold of the Japanese army that year. Now, the whereabouts of the gold are unknown, and the two have disappeared into thin air.
He Tiegun and Xiao Lizi didn't know which tendon had a problem, they went into the water without wearing a diving suit, and after a few minutes, they didn't come back, which means that there is little chance of survival. If they hadn't been poisoned by wolves in the water, they would have drowned or frozen to death.
"I have to go into the water to find it, even if He Tiegun is dead, I have to find his body, besides, that group of wolves is very weird, especially that 'human wolf', maybe he has something to do with the Japanese army back then", although Huaxiong said it unreasonably, but he was not opposed by everyone. He continued, "Although this military base is large, there are also people who have come in, not only our people have come in, but also the self-defense forces of the village road have come in many times, and maybe the Taihe family and others have also come in. The Inuit in this area may also have been a frequent visitor, and if there was gold, it would have been discovered long ago. If the gold is still there, it is probably somewhere outside the military base, and we should go down to the sea to reconnoitre."
Ma Qian did not respond immediately, it is really dangerous to go to the sea now, the base that everyone entered early in the morning should be in the afternoon, less than a day, half of the people and horses have been lost, although the life and death of Nuorilang and Lao Niu and others are unknown, but they are not very optimistic. Although the military base is dangerous, the sea will not be peaceful, after all, people cannot stay in this dark and cold sea for too long.
Due to the lack of Nuorilang and He Tiegun, there is now no candidate in the team who can respond to the painting hero. Everyone's eyes turned to Ye Ma Qian, hoping that this outsider could make a statement, whether he could go to the sea to reconnoitre!
"Since Mr. Huaxiong wants to go to the sea to reconnoitre, I will accompany you. I propose to divide the existing people into two groups, one group to go to the sea to reconnoitre, and one group to stay here and wait. There are several meanings of leaving a group of people here, the first is to leave a unit to receive us, where they can guard our equipment; secondly, you can wait here for Nuorilang and the cattle; And if something happens to us underwater, we won't be wiped out.
Ma Qian said it lightly, everyone heard it, this time in the water, in the face of the dark, cold, and complicated situation under the sea, life and death are only a thought, and the probability of death is very large. In fact, everyone also knows very well that the group of people who stay here is no better, and this lifeless base is full of killing machines.
Now that Ma Qian has supported Huaxiong's decision, he will immediately enter the grouping stage. In the end, Huaxiong, Ma Qian, Zhao Qingmai, Wu Chuanbing, and Liu Shunan went to the sea together, and Wu Chuanbing and Liu Shunan were both young and strong young men. The five people left behind were led by the older Lao Wa, as well as the team doctor Pony and three others.
In fact, Ma Qian is very clear about Huaxiong's thoughts now, Huaxiong is not going to the sea to find He Tiegun and Xiao Lizi, but to track down the "human wolf", the reason is the golden black snake badge on the neck of the "human wolf". That badge is an important clue, the key to unlocking the mystery of the mysterious disappearance of the three members of the Black Snake here. If the "human wolf" disappears, it will not be easy to find clues. Ma Qian and Zhao Qingmai had already put away the black snake badge around their necks, and Lao Wa and the others couldn't figure out what the black snake badge was, so they didn't make a fuss about what the "human wolf" hung around his neck.
Before going to sea, the five men took off their cotton suits and changed into diving suits, because they might go into the water to track the wolves and need to travel lightly, so they did not bring food and clothing, but only underwater shooting guns, spun spines, two rifles with waterproof treatment, and a few grenades. The five of them were ready, jumped off the sink, turned the giant water distribution gear, and jumped down one after another along the gap that the water distribution gear flashed out.
It was dark under the sea, forty or fifty meters underwater, and with thick sea ice on the surface, visibility under the sea was zero. It can only rely on a few people's diving headlamps and three waterproof wolf-eye flashlights. The light was still dim, and I could only see less than ten meters ahead.
The body is immersed in the icy seawater, where can I find He Tiegun and Xiao Lizi? There was no one at all, and no sign of the wolf was seen. The wolves are estimated to have swam away, no matter how powerful this wolf is, they also need to breathe, and without diving equipment and oxygen cylinders, it is impossible for these wolves to stay underwater. They should have followed the familiar path, these guys are the real masters of Wolf Island, and they should know where to surface the ice the quickest.
And this group of people is stupid, the dark underwater has no sense of direction, and the exit of the current launch is not the one where the team enters the base. It's at least a kilometer away from that entrance, which is on the other side of the base under the sea.
He gestured and motioned for the five of them to split up to look for anything suspicious. Or you can find some clues about He Tiegun and Xiao Lizi.
Immediately, the five of them decided that Ma Qianye and Zhao Qing would search to the left, Wu Chuanbing and Liu Shunan would search to the right, and Huaxiong would stay near the exit in case anything unexpected happened. The three parties stretched out their fingers and agreed to meet at the exit within a limit of five minutes.
In the dark water, three groups of people began to search with a bright flashlight. Ma Qian and Zhao Qing swam forward, because this American-style advanced diving suit has weight-increasing equipment, people can sink and float freely in the sea without too much effort. Otherwise, people can not float in the water below tens of meters, people who have diving experience should know that ordinary people can not dive so deep, the sea water will quickly float you to the surface, that is to say, it is difficult for the sea water to sink a person, generally people who drown in the sea are choking to death, not sinking to death.
Another advantage of this diving suit is that it can resist water pressure, which can adjust the pressure through some changes in the air, which greatly increases people's ability to resist pressure when diving.
After about 500 meters in the water, no signs of wolves or humans were found. There are no schools of fish in this sea, probably because of the cold water, and occasionally one or two big fish pass by, and nothing else.
After floating more than 30 meters upward, the sea ice above could be seen, and the two of them dived again, this time very deep, far beyond the bottom of the base under the sea. All the way down, the sea water became not so cool, and then down ten meters, I saw a stone under my feet, look closely, this turned out to be a mountain, it is a mountain under the sea, and it has reached the top of the seabed, and the valley is dark, and there is no bottom. It turns out that the bottom of the sea is not flat, and like the surrounding islands, there are mountains and valleys, and perhaps the highest mountains are those islands that are exposed to the sea, and Wolf Island is one of the larger ones.
Zhao Qingmai also made a dangerous gesture towards Ma Qian, Ma Qian followed Zhao Qingmai's gesture and lay behind a stone on the bottom of the sea, both of them quickly turned off the light, in complete darkness, as if surrounded by a large cloud of ink, coupled with the sea pressure of sixty or seventy meters, you must hold on to the stone at the bottom of the sea, otherwise the body will be very uncomfortable.
There was a light in the distance, a very bright light, this light was very weird, it was a green light, like a legendary ghost fire. What kind of strange thing is this, is there still people living at the bottom of the sea?
The two of them crouched closely behind the stones, carefully observing. The light is getting closer and closer, the light is unstable, it is jumping and jumping, and the hearts of the two people are also tight. Closer, only thirty or forty meters, I could faintly see some black shadows like people walking towards this side, all holding a torch in their hands.
Torches, not a joke, are really torches, and there is a group of people walking under the sea with torches, and the torches glow pale green. A group of ghost-like people came over with torches like ghost fires.
Ma Qian and Zhao Qingmai were so frightened that they couldn't move, and they didn't dare to move, so they could only cling to the rocks tightly, keeping a close eye on this group of terrifying ghosts.
It wasn't until they were only about ten meters away that they realized that it was really a group of people, a group of strange people. These people were bareheaded and barefoot, without any breathing equipment, and they walked freely among the peaks of the seabed. There were nearly 30 of them, all covered in scales and shiny, with torches glowing green in one hand and a small harpoon in the other, and a special little basket behind their backs.
Is this really a human being, how can it be covered in scales? Don't use breathing tools, are they amphibians?
These people did not notice Ma Qian and Zhao Qingmai, walking by the stone in front of them, and as they went, they used small harpoons to fork out a kind of shellfish like a crescent moon in the crack of the rock. They were quick and skillful in their movements, tossing crescent-like shellfish into the basket behind them with a single flick.
These "people" walk very naturally, as if they are walking in space, walking slowly. Each "person" had a lot of crescent shells in his basket. The group of people are all short in stature, with no expressions on their faces, their noses and mouths tightly together, and there is nothing called "human in man".
Strange looking, strange movements, this turned out to be a group of strange people holding torches looking for shellfish at the bottom of the sea, adding: this is a group of men, men with scales on their bodies.
When the group of people walked away, Ma Qian and Zhao Qingmai left the hiding rock and quickly floated up. Seeing such a strange scene, how can there be no fear, whether this is a group of people or a group of ghosts can't tell, in Ma Qian's mind appeared an image "Yaksha", this is the "Yaksha" mentioned in many Chinese mythological stories?
