Chapter 67, White Creatures
After Mai Lao's words were shouted, the eight of us jumped directly into the sea and went underwater, this time everyone still held a lighting and speargun, Mai Lao took the lead, Jiao Ba and I followed, and the other sailors followed behind us, in order to reduce the consumption of physical strength, the speed of our dive was obviously much slower than the last time.
It took about ten minutes before we dived to the bottom of the sea, the deep sea was a little muddy, the visibility was very low, the surroundings were already pitch black, and the role of the lights was not very large, even if the eight of us were lighting at the same time, we could only see the surrounding position a few meters away.
I still feel a little cautious, every time I dive to the bottom of the sea at night, I think of the scene of the sunspot poisoning, as if it was another reminder that danger is approaching us little by little, but in order to figure out all this puzzle, I have to do it, as if there is some kind of magic that is drawing me forward.
In order to ensure safety, Mai Lao first counted the number of people, and the sailors followed, so he was relieved to continue to march forward, and the eight of us lined up in a herringbone and marched forward at a uniform speed, in order to minimize the danger, we had to be careful about everything that happened around us at all times.
The lights are shooting everywhere, and in order to prevent being attacked by sharks or other sea creatures, we have to do not fall (la) every corner, and the two sailors at the back, the lights keep strafing backwards, and sometimes they have to march backwards, which is really tiring, and it is also thanks to the speed of our parade that these two people can stay behind.
I don't know if I can still find that dark sea, after all, the surrounding sea has turned black now, but this time it is led by Mai Lao, so I don't need to worry about it, this old guy must have his own way.
After we marched for a while, Mai Lao suddenly stopped, he stretched out his hand and gestured, meaning to point all the lights in front, the eight of us lined up, all the lights shone forward, I finally knew why Mai Lao suddenly stopped, under the powerful light, I saw the dark and strange sea.
Although the sea water under the deep sea has turned black, the sea water in the dark sea is very different from the surrounding sea water, and I can clearly see that the black color of the sea area is very special, during the day, it is darker than the surrounding water, but at night, it is lighter than the color of the surrounding water.
Mai Lao is really not an ordinary person, in the absence of strong light at that time, he can actually find this sea area, what did this old guy rely on to find it, if it were me, I would definitely not find it, without strong light, I can't see any changes at all, if I can go back alive this time, I have to ask him.
Mai Lao glanced at me at this time, I nodded to him, he waved his big hand, and the eight of us entered this sea area one by one, basically the same as when we came before, this sea area is calm like a mirror, there is no fluctuation, I don't even feel that I am at the bottom of the sea, the cold sea water is unbearable, and the temperature of the sea water is much lower than the sea outside.
The only difference is that the resistance of the sea water at night is not as great as that during the day, on the contrary, the sea water is not turbid, it is very clear, although it is in the dark sea, but as long as you stay for a while, and after your eyes adapt to the environment, you can see the surrounding situation, the only thing that proves that we are at the bottom of the sea is this breathing apparatus, which is 'gurgling' bubbling.
I marched quickly in front of everyone, stretched out my hand and said, 'Everybody must be extra careful, it's dangerous here.' Mai Lao also gestured to urge everyone, "Pay attention to everything around you." After the explanation, we continued to march forward, from the beginning of the sea, we all have to be extra careful, especially Jiao Ba and I, we have always been in a state of high concentration, the nerves up and down the body are tense, since it is a life, then we have to be prepared to play with life.
Since I got to the bottom of the sea, the speargun in my hand has always been in a firing state, as long as I find an abnormality, I will not hesitate to launch the speargun, don't look at Jiao Ba's usual hippie smiling face without any righteousness, but this critical moment has come, he is more careful than anyone else, even Junzi can't compare with him.
I have never felt at ease since I entered this sea area, I always feel that in this dark corner, there is a pair of blood-red eyes watching our every move, and that terrifying black shadow, I don't know when the ghost thing will appear, in case it is killed halfway, we people will have to explain here.
I've been scared all the way, and I don't know when I started, I've become so timid, and even I look down on myself, once a descendant of the royal family, an elite soldier in the army, but now I've become so submissive, but after experiencing so many strange events, whoever I am, everyone will be afraid, but I know very well in my heart that the more I am afraid, the more I want to uncover all this.
Mai Lao was still in front of us, and after about a few more minutes of sneaking, we finally reached our destination, and the impact of the wreck was very clear on the bottom of the sea, much clearer than the last time, even without lights, we could still see it.
Not far in front of us, a huge shipwreck, lying peacefully on the bottom of the sea, the size of the whole ship is almost at a glance, the hull of the ship is slightly tilted, as if a person is lying on his side when he is asleep, but there is no breath of life, some are just a kind of omen of death, revealing a terrifying and mysterious color.
Around the wreck, there are some long white creatures floating, as if they are some kind of plankton of the ocean, but I can't tell what they are, these creatures wander back and forth near the wreck, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, as if there is life, and then there is no life.
There was a strong cold air around the wreck, wave after wave of attack on us, although the sea water did not have any fluctuations, but I could clearly feel that it was cold from the inside out, I shivered unconsciously, I looked at the others, except for Mai Lao, they were also the same as me, their bodies were obviously shivering, this old guy is really frost-resistant, I have never heard him shout cold.
Jiao Ba touched me next to him, stretched out his hand and gestured, "I'm freezing to death, it's too cold." I nodded and gestured in response, 'Me too, be careful.' We observed the wreck on the periphery for a while, and Mai Lao turned around and gestured to tell us, 'Everyone is divided into two groups to investigate, and we must ensure safety.' Then he was afraid to shoot me, so he gestured to me, 'You take a group, and start probing from the bow of the boat, and I'll start from the stern.' I nodded, beckoned Jiao Ba and the other two sailors to follow me, our two groups were divided into two ways, last time I was the stern of the detection ship, this time the detection of the bow of the ship was just right, the four of us swam in the direction of the bow at a uniform speed, when we were getting closer and closer to the wreck, I suddenly found that the white plankton floating around the wreck actually approached us
