20. Helium Oxygen Deep Dive (Down)

After Song Wenbin and Huo Yu went into the water, several other photographers on the side also jumped into the water. Although he was unable to provide support to Song Wenbin and Huo Yu, and could not enter the deep sea to shoot, the director still asked the photographer to go into the water, on the one hand, to shoot as much as he could, and on the other hand, to wait at the 20-meter platform to prevent accidents.

In the seawater, thanks to the special diving suits with weights, Song Wenbin and Huo Yu dived much faster than in the past, and it didn't take long for them to reach a depth of 20 meters.

At this depth, the photographers stopped.

But the ropes of the floating platform were still there, and the ropes of the platform stretched straight into the depths of the sea, and there was no end in sight in the floating plankton-strewn waters.

When falling to a depth of thirty meters, the speed slows down. Song Wenbin spewed out a stream of bubbles and pressed the regulating valve on his body. The buoyancy regulator behind him spewed a stream of air, and the depth dropped again.

Gradually, Song Wenbin and Huo Yu descended to a depth of about forty meters, and at this moment, he not only felt a dull pain in his eardrums, but even the joints on his body were aching. The pervasive pressure made Song Wenbin's shaking feet unusually slow.

When he was training at the base, he had never been to such a depth, due to the limited conditions, it was difficult for the base to dig a pool 100 meters deep, and at most they simulated all kinds of accidental first aid and oxygen inhalation processes in a pool 30 meters deep.

But when they actually faced the seventy or eighty meters deep sea, this feeling had completely changed. The unfathomable depths of the ocean are like the entrance to hell, ready to devour all living things that come to it.

Silence, oppression, and surging terror.

Even the shape of the coral reef on the side has become grotesque.

God forbid, I hope there won't be any monsters beyond his knowledge under the water. Song Wenbin instinctively thought, but then he felt that this thought was ridiculous, obviously he was by Huo Yu's side, what was there to be afraid of monsters or something.

Song Wenbin listened to the sound of water in his ears and looked at Huo Yu beside him, he was stunned at this look, Huo Yu was also looking at him.

The bubbles were spit out one after another, and through the thick mask, Song Wenbin actually saw a trace of uneasiness in Huo Yu's eyes.

Turns out that she will also be upset?

Song Wenbin thought to himself, he was still counting on him to find some security in her.

The thought of a moment made Song Wenbin a little dazed.

After walking four countries and taking Indonesia to five countries, he seemed to realize for the first time that the rain brother next to him was actually a girl who was one year younger than him. Although she is very capable of playing, although she can win the European Championship at the age of fifteen, she is a 24-year-old woman after all.

24 years old.

How many 24-year-old girls did he meet during his live broadcast.

In today's era, is there really a girl who can do this like Huo Yu?

After so many years, have you been too harsh on the people around you?

In an instant, Song Wenbin's mind was racing. Under the silent squeeze of the deep sea, his every thought was magnified exponentially.

He turned his head and stopped looking at Huo Yu.

Huo Yu watched Song Wenbin turn her head, feeling that something was patting the back of her hand, she looked down and found that Song Wenbin actually patted the back of her hand and gently held her hand.

The movement was so subtle that even she was in a trance.

What the hell is this guy doing?

Song Wenbin took Huo Yu's hand and signaled her not to be afraid, although it was a deep sea, it was only seventy meters deep, far from the depth of Godzilla or SpongeBob SquarePants, for this level of fear, Song Wenbin was still able to restrain it, he hoped to make Huo Yu feel at ease.

But he only pulled it and let go.

He felt that the meaning was enough.

As the depth decreased, the pressure around him became more and more terrifying, and what was even more terrifying was that the light became very dark at the moment. The early morning light was already very weak, but after diving fifty meters, it became even more vague.

Fortunately, Song Wenbin was prepared, he turned around, looked at Huo Yu, and found a switch on her shoulder. The switch was flipped and two blinding rays of light shone through the spotlights on the shoulders of her wetsuit.

After turning on the light, Song Wenbin pointed to his shoulder, Huo Yu nodded, and helped him turn on the switch.

Turning on the light, Song Wenbin made a pause gesture, he decided to slow down for a while, the pressure around him was already very huge at this moment, and he could clearly feel that Huo Yu's arm was very heavy when he turned on the light for him just now.

Huo Yu nodded, the two of them were silently suspended in the fifty-meter-deep seawater, slowly shaking their feet, looking up, there was no top in sight, looking down, the last twenty meters could not see the bottom, extremely dim.

There is nothing to communicate underwater, and they can only silently swallow helium and oxygen, relieving the strong physiological discomfort.

After relieving for a while, the discomfort was not much better, but a lot of oxygen was consumed, Song Wenbin decided not to spend it any longer, he made a gesture to Huo Yu to continue diving, and Huo Yu was OK.

Song Wenbin turned his head and continued down.

However, as he dived, there was something more in his palm.

The thing in his palm had a hint of cautious apprehension, but a tacit understanding that it should be.

At first, Song Wenbin was a little confused, and then he felt a stiffness in his body.

This stiffness does not come from the pressure of the deep sea, but from other hearts.

He didn't dare to look back at the many things in his palm, because in the depths of the sea, the only observer was themselves, the only recorder, and the only camera above his head.

He didn't dare to let his camera capture that scene, but he didn't know how to push Huo Yu away.

Change source app, view the latest chapters of the book on multiple sites at the same time. 】

In this unfathomable depth, in this silent land, he undoubtedly recognized a fact that could not be clearer. The only thing they could rely on was each other.

Fortunately, there are no fans, no other observers, no live broadcasts and personalities, only the heartbeat in his chest, beating so clearly, the original heartbeat actually made Song Wenbin temporarily forget the increasing pressure around him.

He was expressionless, holding Huo Yu with one hand, gently holding the rope with the other, shaking his head down, and landing vertically in the deep sea with Huo Yu.

On the fluorescent watch in the left hand, the depth is still decreasing.

50 meters....

52 m....

54 m....

57 m....

60 meters....

It was as if all of this had suddenly become natural at some point in time, as if they were walking not on the bottom of the sea more than sixty meters deep, but in some quiet and dark park.

The dizziness brought by the deep sea aggravated this nature, so naturally that Song Wenbin even forgot his identity on land, and only occasionally remembered that he tried to let go of his hand, but his hand was already firmly grasped.

The last ten meters of the ocean floor seem long, but it seems to be very short.

When the light spots shone on the bottom of the sea, Song Wenbin's brain was dizzy, but it was clear that his body was already filled with helium, how could he get drunk?

Fortunately, the moment he landed, Huo Yu released his palm in time, making the complexity in his heart subside. She came to Song Wenbin and couldn't wait to raise her palm. Quietly, but excitedly.

Song Wenbin read her eyes, and silently high-fived her, seemingly obedient, but in fact reluctantly.

After high-five, Huo Yu put his hand in front of the camera, made an OK gesture, and gave a thumbs up.

Suddenly, there was a long, trembling sigh from inside the earbuds.

Sutina on the shore let out a sigh of relief, and said almost with tears in her eyes: "It's amazing, Brother Song... Huo Yu... It's amazing.... It's amazing..."

The sound of electricity came to Song Wenbin's ears, and he couldn't revive Tina.

With such a difficult dive, such a high cost, and such a huge risk, every minute and second underwater is extremely precious.

In this huge and unknown deep sea, Song Wenbin did not dare to delay, he suppressed the slightest movement in his heart, quickly regained his senses, pointed the metal detector at the ground, and slowly swam to search.

Seventy meters into the sea, there was no sound or light to be heard, and there were not many creatures in the gray sand, only bubbles pouring out from under his mask.

Drip...

Drip...

Drip...

The probe swept over the unusually dim sand and scanned the seemingly raised spots, but could not get any feedback, except for the occasional scare or two of the squid lurking in the deep sea.

Seventy meters above the head, in the cabin of the Shenxing Taibao, doctors and the diving team sat in front of the computer, closely watching the blood oxygen parameters and heart rate on the computer.

And Su tina was on the side, staring at the real-time footage of Song Wenbin and Huo Yu's body camera. The seventy-meter-deep seabed was so dim, yet so barren, so barren that she doubted her judgment more than once.

Didi....

Didi....

Didi....

The regular sound of the detector made Sutina tense her nerves again, she didn't know that this was the first time she had tensed her nerves in the past ten days, and every excitement she had had been exchanged for disappointment in the past ten days.

And this time at a depth of 70 meters, will things turn around?

The thing that caused the probe to chirp was dug up.

Another rusty copper hook.

Staring at the metal hook for a while, Sutina felt a huge discouragement, her body slowly relaxed, she shook her head, and forcibly calmed down: "This is a hook on European merchant ships, a product of modern times. ”

……

Seventy meters under the sea, Song Wenbin looked at the hook in his hand, and there was not much surprise in his heart, these days, this kind of thing has not been a hundred times but eighty times.

Putting the hook in the bag next to his leg, he continued to scan the seafloor with the detector. In such a deep sea, the movement of arms and thighs has become extremely difficult, and an ordinary turn on the ground requires a huge amount of physical strength here, and only when following the ocean currents at the bottom of the sea will his movement be easier.

While searching, he also had to pay attention to the helium and oxygen scale on his watch and the dive time, if the pressure was halved, they had to quit the search immediately, otherwise the pressure inside would be insufficient, and the pressure of the deep sea would suffocate them quickly.

Huo Yu had been following behind Song Wenbin, slowly sweeping the detector under the water, but no matter how they searched, there were only three things they could see.

White garbage, fishing nets and hooks, and some industrial debris

An hour later, before he was too disappointed, the anxious urging voice of the team doctor came from the headphones.

"It's time, hurry up."

Song Wenbin made an OK gesture in front of the camera and nodded to Huo Yu. The two of them squeezed the air sacs on both sides of their bodies with their arms, and the gas in the BCD immediately began to expand, providing a lot of buoyancy, and the two quickly floated upward.

But now none of them dare to go too fast, and too fast a change in pressure difference will cause a huge burden on the body, and they must set aside a lot of time in the process of ascending.

After only five meters of climbing, Song Wenbin pressed the deflation button. Some of the gas was vented and the ascent stopped. Huo Yu also looked at each other face to face with him, pressing his shoulder with his right hand and holding the exhaust valve with his left hand, maintaining eye contact with him.

This is what they have trained many times in the base, and the necessary eye contact will allow them to have enough speed as a counterpoint when ascending, so as not to rise too fast and risk their lives.

After staying for a minute, they continued to ascend.

BCD is constantly expanding and deflating, allowing them to stop and go in this deep sea.

At about 30 meters, the gas in the BCD was almost exhausted, and they stopped at a depth of 30 meters and began to stay for a long time, so that the body could gradually adapt to the transition from the high-pressure state.

This time, the two stayed and looked at each other for five minutes before they continued to ascend, and when they reached twenty meters, the photographer on the side hurriedly came to them and slowly swam beside them.

However, the closer he got to the sea, the more dangerous Song Wenbin felt, and despite all the preparations, such a huge pressure difference still filled his mouth with the smell of blood, and he obviously felt that his gums were bleeding.

At the same time, his breathing was made difficult due to the reduced pressure in the oxygen cylinder. Huo Yu on the side was also uncomfortable, at this moment she almost put both hands on Song Wenbin's shoulders, her posture looked a little ambiguous, but it also exposed her powerlessness at the moment.

After five minutes at twenty meters, the two of them, with the help of fellow photographers, ascended to a depth of five meters. Here, a trace of blood began to gush out of Song Wenbin's nasal cavity.

Sure enough, his body still couldn't adapt to such a huge pressure change, and he stayed at the bottom of the water at a depth of five meters for another five minutes, until the oxygen in the oxygen cylinder was about to run out, and Song Wenbin and Huo Yu shook their feet with difficulty and went upstream.

As soon as he came out of the water, Song Wenbin felt tinnitus, dizziness, headache, weakness in his limbs, and darkness in front of him. This feeling only occurred to him for the first time when he had dived 30 meters deep at a diving school.

Fortunately, the medical team on the side was already on standby, and they quickly arrived in kayaks, dragged the two people who had reached their physical and psychological limits onto the boat, and returned to the Sambo on the side.
