The failure to catch the potential stalker made all three of them invisibly shrouded in a haze.

They hurried back to the yacht from the museum, where the Sambo was being refilled at the docks, tons of fuel and water being filled into the yacht.

Although he had seen it once, Song Wenbin couldn't help but feel a heaviness in his heart when he watched the thick pipe of the tanker truck squirm.

With such a huge cost investment, if he was discovered by some damn thief and collapsed, he didn't know what to do when he returned to China.

This place should not be stayed for long. Song Wenbin thought to himself, no matter why someone followed him, he had to leave the Surabaya area as soon as possible.

"Didn't you say that Zheng He could have been an atoll and a barrier reef? Go, mark all the atolls and barrier reefs around this area, and we'll look for them one by one. Song Wenbin couldn't wait to instruct Sutina.

"Huh? Found a clue? Huo Yu asked in surprise.

"Yes, but I don't know if it's accurate." Sutina folded her hands and prayed, "Please, please let us gain something this time!" ”

When Su Tina and Huo Yu went to the ship to look for clues, Song Wenbin was not idle, he went to the mall to buy double the supplies and stuffed them into the cabin, completely ignoring the aesthetics, he piled up the yacht's bedroom and reception cabin with food and water.

He didn't know how long he would have to go to sea for this trip, but in short, he didn't want to venture ashore until he found the location of Zheng He's landing.

After completing the replenishment in Surabaya, Song Wenbin set off again, this time he specially bought a high-powered telescope, set it up in the sunshine area of the bow of the yacht, and sat in the bow with high-powered binoculars to look around the surrounding sea, so as to prevent a ship from following them into the sea.

After Sutina sent the requirements of the mission back to China, the domestic team soon sent a high-definition map information, which clearly marked the location of the atolls in Surabaya and the surrounding areas, a total of three.

A day later, the Sambo arrived at the area of Atoll 1 marked on the map.

Unlike the reefs that are close to the shore, this reef ring grows in the middle of the ocean, forming a system of reefs ranging from a few kilometers to tens of kilometers in diameter. Looking down from the high-altitude drone scenes, these atolls are like a wreath thrown into the blue sea, and like a string of white jade pearl necklaces scattered on the sea, gorgeous and colorful.

It's just that the moving scenery under this blue sea doesn't make Song Wenbin's mood lighter.

Due to the characteristics of atolls and barrier reefs, they are located far from the shore and the depths are very terrifying, the shallowest of which is 30 meters deep, and the deepest place is 70 meters deep, which has greatly exceeded the depth that Song Wenbin trained in diving school. The deepest point in his training was only 28 meters.

The three of them faced the map sent from China, and their faces were not very good-looking.

"The average depth of the water is 50 meters, can you really do it at this depth?"

Sutina asked worriedly, looking at the map of the ocean floor around the atoll.

Song Wenbin shook his head: "Our diving instructor has already reminded us in China not to dive below 30 meters, even when he was excavating Nanhai No. 1, the deepest dive was only 38 meters." ”

Huo Yu frowned and said softly: "It's not impossible, haven't we also trained in saturation diving, Yang Xu taught us at the end of the course." ”

Song Wenbin's face changed, and he said, "I don't want to play that, it's too torturous." Moreover, even if we were to saturate the dive, there would not be enough equipment, all the equipment on my ship was within thirty meters, and helium and oxygen were not prepared at all. ”

"I'm ready." Huo Yu said softly: "On the Shenxing Taibao, there is a special helium-oxygen and life support system. ”

Su tina looked at her two colleagues from the side, because of the different tasks in charge, she didn't know what Song Wenbin and Huo Yu were communicating.

"Damn, then are you going to drive the Shenxing Taibao over!?" Song Wenbin said nervously: "Won't it be too public?" Your ship is going to be inspected and it's all over, that's the heart of a warship!! ”

"What's not a risk at a time like this!?"

Huo Yu couldn't help but scolded: "Drive the Shenxing Taibao over for an adventure, and don't take a risk if you dive 70 meters?" ”

After a pause, Huo Yu said again: "But don't worry, before the show started, we spent a lot of money to contact the relevant person in charge of Indonesia, and then we obtained the qualification for filming, presumably they will not search us easily." ”

Song Wenbin was relieved when he heard Huo Yu say this.

Obviously, he prefers to believe the unspoken rules rather than make him believe in the explicit rules.

He said: "Then let's explore the ordinary depth first, if the ordinary depth can find enough clues, we don't have to explore the deeper position, we really can't find it and then drive the Shenxing Taibao over." ”

After the decision was made, the program team immediately went into operation.

The photographers re-inflated the kayak and pushed it into the sea, while Song Wenbin and Huo Yu checked various diving equipment and changed into wetsuits. Since the zipper of the wetsuit was behind them, they had to zip each other's wetsuits for each other.

Every time he zipped Huo Yu, he could see the vivid and exquisite dragon tattoo behind Huo Yu, living in the dragon field for a month, Song Wenbin already knew that this dragon tattoo was the proud work of Huo Yu's friend Qin Moqing, and it took two years from design to production. Compared to when I was in the Caribbean, the dragon tattoo was almost complete, and the scar underneath it was almost invisible.

However, the more this happened, the more confused Song Wenbin became.

Of course, these inner activities only occur when he zips up, and when the zipper is done and the equipment is checked, the arduous diving is enough to dispel all his confusion.

The kayak leaves the yacht and heads towards the atoll in the quiet waves. After a brief period of light rain, the tropical weather returned to normal.

Sutina's chatter came from the headphones: "Thirty meters underwater, the pressure is 4 bar, ten kilograms, this pressure is already very high, if you can't hold on, you must quit immediately." ”

Regarding Su Tina's concern, Huo Yu and Song Wenbin were only silent. They knew better about diving than Sutina, but they didn't give up the option.

After the kayak came to a stop, Song Wenbin gestured to his colleagues, and after getting their thumbs up, he leaned back and plunged into the water.

Bubbles of Goodudu popped out of his mouth.

Song Wenbin is back in the underwater world, and this time the water is deeper and the underwater scenery is more majestic.

With the slow paddling of the feet, the coral reefs come into view like mountains, and perhaps before the effects of global warming, the corals here are colorful, and I don't know how many species of marine life are swimming slowly in them.

On the reef alone, there are sponges, hydroids, anemones, some polychaetes, bryozoans, cranopods, and sea squirts.

Diffuse sunlight shines through the sea to form spots of light on these corals, reflecting the underwater creatures dancing under the currents like leaves in the wind.

If you are downstream, there are schools of colorful butterflyfish and tiger fish, among which there will occasionally be one or two hawks and turtles, swimming leisurely in front of Song Wenbin, neither afraid nor caring about him.

The two photographers of the program group made a pause gesture to Song Wenbin, and Song Wenbin and Huo Yu stopped. Two photographers took underwater cameras and began to take pictures of their surroundings. The picture was transmitted to the yacht, and Sutina sighed in Song Wenbin's ears.

"Oh my God, it's so beautiful...."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Song Wenbin can probably understand why those rich people want to come to a place like Bali for a vacation. Indeed, the bottom of the sea here is beautiful, and if he was born in such a place, he would not think about working hard.

It's just that beauty is beautiful, and the pressure of more than 20 meters is not comfortable.

"Six hundred years have passed, and the growth of coral reefs in 600 years will be very amazing." Sutina said in her headphones, "Even if there are traces of collision, they will definitely be gone, so this time it is enough to find the scattered relics." ”

However, Song Wenbin and Huo Yu did not stop on the surface of the coral to enjoy the scenery or look for collision marks, they just allowed their bodies to adapt to the huge pressure, and after reaching a certain depth, the pressure on their bodies increased exponentially with each drop of depth.

After staying at a depth of twenty meters for a moment, Huo Yu pointed down at Song Wenbin and made a gesture to continue diving, Song Wenbin nodded.

The two continued to dive downward. When diving to a depth of 25 meters, the photographer has almost reached the limit, they have taken the OW certificate, which is one level lower than Song Wenbin and Huo Yu's certificate, and their physical fitness has not been repeatedly beaten by Huo Yu, and it is very difficult to dive to 25 meters.

At this moment, they can only point the camera underwater and shoot from a top-down perspective, but fortunately, Song Wenbin and Huo Yu have cameras tied to their heads, and they can still shoot each other even if they dive to a depth of thirty meters.

Finally, at a depth of thirty meters, the feet of the two slowly touched the delicate sand of the seabed, and even at a depth of thirty meters, the visibility here was still very high.

There are reefs everywhere, and in the crevices of those reefs, there are various sea cucumbers, snails, crabs and lobsters. Song Wenbin could even see that in the light, there was a lobster the size of his forearm that quickly retreated after his arrival. In addition to these large lobsters, there are also some transparent shrimp crickets that quickly escape at his feet. Some of the fish that had been spitting sand and nesting underwater stopped working after seeing them coming, and hid in their holes.

Although the scenery is extraordinary, the moment he landed, Song Wenbin felt a chest tightness and nausea, and his brain was also a little dizzy. At the moment, every corner of his body is under more than ten kilograms of pressure.

Seeing that Song Wenbin was uncomfortable, Huo Yu swam to his side and touched his back, Song Wenbin took several deep breaths of oxygen in a row, and it took a while to recover from that uncomfortable state.

At this time, he could clearly feel the effect of Huo Yu's physical training on him, twenty-five years ago, he never thought that he could dive to this depth, and he didn't even think that he would work for the country in this kind of place.

】

And all of this is happening.

After making an OK gesture to Huo Yu, the two stepped on the sediment on the bottom of the sea, holding a metal detector to slowly probe around.

After moving away from the shore, the amount of garbage on the seabed here is significantly reduced, and the detector is now like a machine that monitors the electrocardiogram, making regular sounds.

Drip...

Drip...

Drip...

Time passed minute by minute in the search for the bottom of the sea, and an hour later, Huo Yu and Song Wenbin walked five or six hundred meters around the thirty-meter area of the reef.

Didi...

Didi...

Didi...

The probe's sudden two successive chirps made Song Wenbin's heart beat faster.

He quickly bent down, took out the small shovel he had with him, and checked the place where the chirping had occurred.

Shoveling the sand a foot deep, he could see that under the sand, there was a small hook buried, with surging industrial traces, which had been corroded and looked like it was some years old.

Song Wenbin put the rusty hook on the camera of his head, and after a while, Sutina heard a disappointed voice in his ears: "This is not what we are looking for..... It's a modern industrial boat hook ....."

Song Wenbin and Huo Yu glanced at each other, even at the bottom of the sea, through the thick mirror, they could see the disappointment in each other's eyes.
