After the rain, the pool water became very turbid and visibility was poor. Zi Yang and Su Rui took advantage of the boost of the underwater drone to slowly go downstream together.
When he reached the position where the steel cable was cut off, Su Rui pointed out the truncation point to Zi Yang. Under the lights of the underwater drone, the neatly broken section of the steel cable could be seen.
Zi Yang has worked on the construction site and knows that if it is a cutting technique such as an underwater welding torch, the cross-section of the steel cable should be relatively flat; if it is broken by external force, the place where the steel cable is disconnected should be broken into a twist. But the cut-off steel cable in front of me is different from the above two situations.
Su Rui pointed down with his thumb to signal to continue diving. After dropping a few meters, I finally saw the mysterious bottom of the pond.
There were some broken woods and dead branches washed in by the rain, except for the mud, sand and rocks.
The water below is rather muddy. The drone's searchlight can only illuminate a small area at the bottom of the cave. Jin Guoqiang used the drone to cruise around the bottom of the cave to explore it. It can be seen that the entire pool is like a vertical shaft. The walls of the cave are hard limestone.
Zi Yang lingered underground for a while like a headless fly, but found nothing. Su Rui was in the same situation as him—there was no magical foreign object in the bottom of the cave. Not to mention the ancient tombs, there are no two graves.
Zi Yang spread his hands and made a helpless gesture to Su Rui. This result is disappointing, he doesn't know what else to do now.
To be on the safe side, Su Rui took all the remaining air cylinders with him this time. Zi Yang was not sure how long Su Rui could last in such a deep water bottom, but he knew that the air consumption would be great at this depth. Coupled with the decompression factor, Su Rui can't stay for too long.
Zi Yang clenched a fist with his right hand and thumbs up, indicating that Su Rui was about to rise.
Su Rui shook his head and made an OK gesture to him, indicating that he was in good condition.
Su Rui understood that the air bottle she was carrying could only sustain this deep dive, and if they couldn't find anything in the pool, then their expedition would basically be over.
"Captain, did you find anything over there?" Su Rui said through the walkie-talkie.
"No, the bottom of the water seems to be closed." Jin Guoqiang said hesitantly. He just controlled the underwater drone to circle the bottom of the cave and found no dark holes or gaps.
"Impossible, there must be other holes around, continue to look for them." Su Rui said.
Jin Guoqiang controlled the drone against the cave wall and started to circle slowly. Su Rui and Zi Yang searched the underwater ground with the lights of wetsuits to see if there were any holes or gaps or other channels for leaking water.
After a while, Jin Guoqiang said helplessly: "I can't see any holes or gaps."
Su Rui said disappointedly: "Strange, where did the stagnant water flow out?"
In order to save power, Jin Guoqiang stopped the UAV's propellers. The UAV was suspended in the water, and the light of the searchlight was shining upwards obliquely.
Zi Yang suddenly touched Su Rui's arm and pointed at it with his finger.
Su Rui followed Zi Yang's gesture and looked up, and saw that in the beam of searchlight, the sand and dust in the water seemed to be flowing slowly in one direction.
"The hole is above! Captain, at nine o'clock, go up about ten meters." Su Rui reported to Jin Guoqiang.
"Received." Jin Guoqiang controlled the drone to advance upward. Sure enough, on the cave wall more than ten meters above, there is a hole more than one meter in diameter. The water flowing through the entrance of the cave was very slow, so at first everyone did not discover the passage hidden on the cave wall.
Just now their attention was focused on the bottom of the water, but they didn't expect the waterway to be more than ten meters above the bottom of the water. If it weren't for the searchlight to accidentally swept up, maybe they would have missed the discovery.
Jin Guoqiang manipulated the underwater drone to get to the entrance of the cave and watched it. Following the lights of the searchlights, he could see that the waterway was extending in horizontally.
"Go in and see the situation," Jin Guoqiang steered the drone and slowly swam in. Su Rui and Zi Yang followed and entered the waterway one after another.
You can stand upright in the wide part of the channel, and only allow one person to pass through the narrow part. The walls of the cave are all limestone washed out by water, which looks smoother. After traveling more than 20 meters, there is still no sign of the end in front.
Su Rui reached out and touched Ziyang, pointed at the barometer, and made an upward gesture-there was only the last spare air bottle left on her body, which was only enough for her to return and decompress.
"Captain, the passage seems to be very long. My air bottle is about to run out and I can't support it anymore." Su Rui said regretfully.
"Okay, let's return." Jin Guoqiang said, and the underwater drone stopped advancing.
Su Rui and Zi Yang turned around to swim back, and Jin Guoqiang controlled the drone to follow them.
"Huh, weird."
After traveling more than ten meters, Jin Guoqiang suddenly said on the walkie-talkie: "Su Rui, where you swam just now, there seems to be a passage above it."
Su Rui stopped and swam back to the position where the drone stopped and looked up. Sure enough, there was a vertical hole above it. The hole was relatively narrow and could only allow one person to pass through.
Following the lights of the wetsuit, you can see the ripples of the water above it, it seems that the water is a few meters away.
Su Rui looked at the barometer, and silently calculated the gas consumption required for the return journey. He hesitated and went upstream.
After rising a few meters, Su Rui's head was exposed to the surface of the water—it turned out to be a closed underground cavity.
Su Rui turned off the oxygen valve, took off the mask, and tried to breathe-although the air was a little dirty, he could still breathe.
Zi Yang swam up with him, took off his mask, and asked in surprise, "Where is this place?"
"This should be a natural cave, because the hole is sealed by water, so an air bag is formed." Su Rui judged.
The two waded into the water slowly, and the water became shallower and shallower, and in a short while they only reached the position of their thighs. With the lights on the wetsuit, it can be seen that this is a closed space the size of a basketball court.
"Su Rui, look there!" Zi Yang said in a low voice in horror.
Behind a rock at the bottom of the cave, there seemed to be something dark.
Su Rui was also taken aback. The two stood there together not daring to move half a minute, for fear of alarming the mysterious object behind the stone.
At this moment, the underwater drone operated by Jin Guoqiang also floated up, slowly advancing to them.
"What's the matter?" Jin Guoqiang said through the walkie-talkie. The dark object is on the shore, and the drone can't see it there.
Zi Yang lifted the front of the underwater drone with his hands. The drone searchlight illuminates the vicinity of the stone. It can be seen that most of the body of the "mysterious object" is hidden behind the boulder, with only four black limbs. Exposed.
"What is this?" Jin Guoqiang couldn't help but exclaimed in the walkie-talkie when he saw this mysterious object.
"Could it be a big spider?" Zi Yang thought of the terrifying creatures in science fiction movies, and his back felt cold. Could it be that this thing bit the wire rope outside
"Let's, let's go back." Zi Yang's heart throbbed and throbbed like a drum, and his legs had already begun to tremble.
Fortunately, the mysterious object lay motionless there, and didn't mean to pounce on it.
"Don't be afraid, it should be two corpses." Su Rui said in a low voice.
Zi Yang looked at her in horror. Is this the gentle and beautiful Su Rui you know? Don't worry about the two corpses? Why are you so calm
"Zi Yang, don't hold your hand ● 31 novel app download address ● to shake." Su Rui reminded him.
Zi Yang had to bite the bullet, lift the drone with both hands, aiming the light of the searchlight at the "mysterious object" behind the stone.
The two slowly moved forward a few steps, and when they got closer, it could be seen that the black objects exposed outside the stone really looked like human limbs.
If you go further, you will be ashore. Zi Yang put down the heavy drone, and the two approached cautiously.
"Beware of danger!" Jin Guoqiang said on the walkie-talkie.
Su Rui and Zi Yang slowly walked around behind the stone. Sure enough, it was not a mysterious creature "hidden" behind the stone, but two corpses wrapped in wet suits. It was their legs that were exposed out of the stone.
Zi Yang illuminates the two corpses with the light on the wetsuit, and there are ten thousand question marks in his mind. Who are they? Why is it here
Su Rui took a few steps forward, and suddenly exclaimed: "Nami clothing!"
Zi Yang was startled, he also saw that the two corpses were wearing the two nano-clothes they had lost in the hospital.
Su Rui gently touched the arm of the corpse with his hand, the tentacles were soft and it seemed that Nano Clothes had lost its effect.
"What, what to do?" Zi Yang looked at Su Rui and took a closer look. The body's head was covered by a mask, and there was a layer of gray water vapor in the mask, making it difficult to see the faces of the people inside—but the only certainty was that, The people inside are dead.
"Bring them up first before speaking." Su Rui said in a deep voice.
Zi Yang's scalp was numb when he heard that he was about to hold the corpse. But Su Rui didn't seem to ask for his opinion at all, put on a mask, picked up a corpse, and walked slowly into the water.
Zi Yang had to bite the bullet, went up and picked up the remaining corpse. This "person" was wrapped in a nano-cloth, hanging down softly in his hand, like a big slug without bones, not to mention how crippled.
After entering the water, the corpse lost much weight under the effect of buoyancy. Su Rui was in front and Zi Yang was behind, and the two slowly swam out of the waterway. Jin Guoqiang controlled the drone and followed from behind.
The two of them held the corpse and began to float slowly, and after rising for a certain distance, Su Rui signaled to stop and decompress.
The two people floating in the water looked at each other, each holding a corpse in their hands. The situation was quite weird. This is really a rare experience in life.
After several times of decompression, the two corpses finally surfaced.
Su Rui took off her mask and looked at the barometer of the air bottle. It was very dangerous. The gas had been completely used up, and she might not be able to return one minute later.
"Su Rui, are you okay?" Jin Guoqiang looked at Su Rui on the shore and looked a little weak, and asked with concern.
"Fortunately!" Su Rui unloaded the exhausted air bottle and swam slowly to the shore.
Jin Guoqiang came over to help them drag the corpse to the shore, and asked in shock, "What, what's going on?"
Su Rui sat on the ground and panted for a while, kneeling beside a corpse, and gently pressing and touching the coat of the nano-clothing with his hands, only to hear a few slight clicks, the built-in inside of the nano-clothing The security lock has been opened.
Su Rui gently lifted the mask of Nanyi Yi, revealing a pale and moist face.
"I'm going!" Zi Yang took a few steps back in shock. Jin Guoqiang leaned over and looked at the corpse carefully, muttering: "It seems to have been dead for a long time."
"Yes, the airtightness of the Nano Clothes is very good. Although people have been dead for a long time, the body is very well preserved." Su Rui said while peeling the Nano Clothes from the corpse.
In a short while, a wet corpse wearing only a naked body appeared in front of the three of them. The skin of the corpse was still smooth and moist, but the muscles had turned into jelly.
Zi Yang couldn't help frowning and turning his head to the side. He had never seen such a dead person before. This scene was really disgusting.
This corpse had been sealed in the nano-cloth for an unknown amount of time. As soon as it came into contact with the air, it immediately emitted a fishy smell.
"Well, who are these two people? How could they appear underwater? Are they under Professor Zhang?" Zi Yang couldn't help but ask.
Jin Guoqiang remained silent, and turned his head to examine another corpse wearing a nano-cloth. He saw that there was a curved cowhide scabbard inserted in the equipment belt on the waist of "It", and the exposed wooden handle of the knife did not rot.
Jin Guoqiang stretched out his hand to hold the handle of the knife, and pulled the blade out forcefully, and everyone's eyes lit up. It turned out to be a shimmering dogleg scimitar.
Zi Yang looked at this dogleg scimitar, and suddenly felt very familiar—I remember that when Alexander was exploring in Lop Nor, James also had the same dogleg scimitar.
Jin Guoqiang turned and walked to the stripped corpse, grabbed its left arm and lifted it up. On the inside of the corpse’s arm, there was a cyan tattoo: two dogleg scimitars were placed together. There was a hideous skeleton on it.
"Gurkha cavalry!" Jin Guoqiang frowned and said.
