Chapter 129, Digging into the Gap
I've got to get down to business, which is to talk to the three of them, and since they've all agreed to Jenny and Mai, we'll have to try.
The big man was playing poker in the rest cabin, and when they saw me coming, the three of them smiled at me reluctantly, especially Chang Shan, who smiled a little sinisterly, like that kind of ill-intentioned smile, laughing at my heart was a little panicked.
I walked over and sat down and said, "Brother, how busy are you?" ”
"If you have something, you will be loyal, and if you have something, you will say it." Mantou said next to him.
I took out my cigarette and sent it around, and then said, "This is a little bit of a small matter, but I'm still a little embarrassed to speak, and you know, I'm going to go to the sea tomorrow, so ......."
"You don't need to say much about loyalty, I understand what you mean, don't worry, the three of us will go to the sea tomorrow." Before I could finish speaking, the big man made a decision directly.
"Really? Oh, that's great, I'm afraid you won't agree. "I hurriedly shook hands with the big man, I really didn't expect that the changes of several of them would be so fast, is there a problem here?
I guess Chang Shan must have seen the jade pendant in my hand that night, judging from the tone of his speech that day, as well as the attitude of the three of them today, this is a good proof.
Chang Shan was still smiling beside him, and then suddenly said, "Zhongyi, is your injury healed?" ”
"Oh, it's okay, it's basically fine." I looked at him and smiled.
"Well, don't be so reckless next time, injury is a small matter, but losing your life is a big deal." Chang Shan looked at me with a smile and a sharp look in his eyes.
I didn't understand what he meant, but it must have an ulterior motive, "Thanks for reminding me, so are you, take care of yourself." After saying that, I said hello to the big man and the steamed bun, and got up to leave
The next morning, we put on our wetsuits, checked the spearguns, lighting and oxygen cylinders, and after making sure that there was no problem, we began to prepare to go to sea.
Since my paratrooper knife broke, I asked Jenny for a diving knife, I was used to the knife not leaving me, which is also a kind of responsibility for my own safety, it is better to have a knife than no knife.
Before leaving, Mai Lao gathered all our personnel together, "This time to go to the sea, the main thing is to check the gap under the shipwreck, everyone must pay attention to safety, always be vigilant, absolutely not relax, I don't want to see any casualties happen, everyone is ready to go to the sea." ”
"Wait a minute?" Something suddenly occurred to me.
"What's wrong, loyalty?" Mai Lao looked at me and asked.
"Mai Lao, will we still follow the original route when we go to the sea this time?" I asked him rhetorically.
"Well, it's better to go to the sea according to the previous route, what's wrong?" Mai Lao didn't understand it a little.
I laughed a little and said, "I don't think it's so much trouble, we should be able to go straight down from the top of the wreck." ”
"Can it be done, Brother Yi? Didn't we try it once last time, and we couldn't get down at all. Junko said next to him.
"Yes, Zhongyi, there's no need to try a second time, that dark sea can't go down at all." The big man said a little anxiously.
Jiao Ba suddenly interjected at this time, "Brother Yi is right, we can indeed go down directly from the shipwreck, I think the dark sea has disappeared, since it no longer exists, there is nothing to hinder us." ”
I patted Jiao Ba on the shoulder, but looked at Mai Lao and said, "That's it, in fact, I noticed this from the time we salvaged the coffin, that dark sea is disappearing little by little, we don't need to waste any more time." ”
The big man didn't understand and said, "This is strange, why did the dark sea suddenly disappear?" ”
"Maybe it has something to do with the coffin that was salvaged, or the death of the big black fish, it should have ruined some kind of pattern." Chang Shan's voice was not big or small, and it came leisurely from the side.
I glanced at him, and he glanced at me, but he quickly shifted his gaze, this man still had a calm face, a person who usually barely speaks, but this time he said the point, this is really unseemly, the sea is incomprehensible, only blame me for underestimating them at the beginning.
"Okay, whether the sea disappears or not, let's try it and drive the fishing boat over." Mai Lao gave the order.
The fishing boat headed for the sea above the wreck, and when it reached the area, it stopped.
Jenny told us in the back, "Big guys, be careful, safety first." ”
With a military gesture, I jumped into the sea first, followed by the others.
Li Xin didn't go with us this time, there was no other reason, it was just that she was tired and wanted to rest more, no matter whether this was true or not, no one would say anything.
After all, she is not a sailor, and she is still a girl, so it is inevitable that there will be some special circumstances, but I was quite surprised, she came to me that night, and said a bunch of inexplicable things, I thought she also went to the sea with her, but it turned out that she didn't come, which confused me.
Except for her, everyone else went, and we were a group of seven people, diving down quickly all the way, because it was morning, the sun was relatively abundant, and the visibility under the deep sea was very high, and there was almost no need to turn on the lights.
When I dived to a certain extent, the water was still blue, and the dark sea with lightning that I had encountered before had indeed disappeared.
Mai Lao turned his head to look at me, and made a gesture to me, I replied to him OK, indicating that everything was stable, and the seven of us dived at a uniform speed, and after about a few minutes, I vaguely saw that there was a huge thing below me, which should be the wreck of the Ming Dynasty.
I was a little excited in my heart, I didn't know what kind of gain I would have this time, I looked at Jiao Ba, he was also looking forward to it, and accelerated the speed of the dive.
The impact of the seabed is becoming clearer and clearer, and sure enough, the shipwreck, which is like a small mountain, lies quietly under the deep sea, without a trace of waves, and the surrounding sea has returned to normal.
The blue water replaces the dead black, and there are many fish wandering back and forth, and you can also see some plankton similar to jellyfish.
And around the wreck, there are no longer those long white creatures, as if they disappeared in an instant, and the ghostly shipwreck is not so terrifying now.
I remember that when the dark sea existed, the shipwreck was full of coldness and a breath of death, and now what it brought me was a very dull and peaceful feeling, and the tension in my heart disappeared.
The complete disappearance of this dark sea made the wreck immediately lose some of its weirdness, although it was still so mysterious, but it looked more serene, more like a sleeping old man than a sleeping devil.
The seven of us quickly dived to the tail of the wreck, but at the same time I also felt that I was a little uncomfortable, and the position of my abdomen was a little painful, probably because of the pressure, which caused the wound to ache faintly, but fortunately I could have held on, otherwise I would have been out of the water.
Mai Lao turned on the lights and looked along the hull of the ship, the color of the wreck seemed to be lighter than before, and a bunch of unknown small fish were shuttling back and forth on the side of the wreck.
After the big guy saw this scene, everyone's faces showed different expressions, but in the final analysis, they couldn't do without the word relaxation, all of this seemed so harmonious, the once dead and peaceful peace, now it has become vibrant.
I swam closer to the wreck, reached out and touched the hull, and sure enough, the cold feeling was gone, and it seemed that everything was restored, and there should be nothing to worry about.
Mai Lao waved his hand and beckoned everyone to swim to the bow of the boat, along the stern on the right, we marched all the way, and when we reached the bow of the boat, we dived again and swam directly to the gap on the right.
Soon, I could already see the gap, Mai Laoyou was in front of me, he was the first to stop, and the rest of us also stopped, and now the gap at the bottom was in front of us, although it didn't look as terrifying as before, but it was still a little cautious.
Turn on the lights, shine inside, it's still pitch black, you can't see anything, it's blue outside, but it's so dark inside, although the previous thorn foal is dead, I don't know if there will be a second one in it, or something else.
Mai Lao asked the seven of us to form a small circle, and he gestured to us, telling us, 'Do everything under my command, don't act alone, be careful of your surroundings.' A few of us nodded, Mai Lao took the lead and swam into the gap, I followed the pace, and the others also swam into the gap one after another, after I swam into the gap, I obviously felt that the darkness was shrouded, and a sense of depression arose.
We lined up in a row, marching in order, at the edge of the gap, there was nothing strange, seven lights, although they could not illuminate the place, but they were enough.
The space inside the gap was very large, much larger than I expected, I thought it would be a narrow road, but when I entered it, I realized that it was so spacious.
Mai Lao stopped, motioned for us to work in pairs, scattered around to investigate, he was waiting for everyone in place, this is a gathering place, Junko and I marched to the upper end of the gap, but soon came to an end, on top of the plank, it should be the mezzanine of the cabin.
I looked around along the top again, and under the lights, I still didn't find anything, and I found nothing, so Junko turned around and gestured to me, 'I didn't find anything.' I nodded, beckoned him to go back, and the two of us went back to where we were, and the others had not yet returned, so Mai Lao was alone, and I marched over, and shook my head at him helplessly, indicating that I had found nothing.
Mai Lao patted me on the shoulder and gestured, "Be patient, don't worry. ’
