At noon that day, the "construction site" suddenly became busy. Several of Prasad's men helped the staff carry things. He was not idle. He was squatting there to help the young man wearing glasses seal the precision instruments one by one with a waterproof bag. The old man was beside his back and silently. Watch them work.
I learned from other people that this taciturn old man had his surname Qin, and all the staff with him called him Qin Gong.
The young man's surname is Chen, and everyone calls him Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen told Prasad that the staff found an underground cavity under the water. In order to facilitate the further investigation, they plan to use it as an outpost, and most of the equipment will be transferred to the outpost.
Xiao Chen seemed to trust Prasad very much, and always took the initiative to inform Prasad about the progress of the survey.
Prasad actually doesn't care about these. Years of experience tells him that he can manage his own affairs. The less he knows about other things, the safer he is.
But the young man with glasses is very talkative. Prasad's unspoken smile has become the best listener in his eyes. He has been talking in his ears, even if he doesn't want to listen, he can't refuse. mouth.
"If you want to go down with us, diving is very fun, as long as you try it once, you will be hooked on it." Today, everyone except Prasad will go into the water. Xiao Chen thought Prasad Afraid of diving, sincerely invite him.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem with my professional coach." It seems that in order to dispel Prasad's concerns, Xiao Chen patted his chest to guarantee the vote.
"How big is that place?" Prasad finally couldn't help but asked curiously.
He was also wondering, with so many equipment and so many people, can it be put underneath
"It's huge, like an underground palace." The young man blinked at him, with a smile on his lips.
It seemed that this discovery made them very excited. All the staff members were talking and laughing, but Qin Gong stared at the water pool with his hands behind his back, looking thoughtful.
After everything was cleaned up, Prasad operated the excavator on the shore, using the steel cable on the winch to send a large number of equipment and staff such as oxygen cylinders and supply tanks into the water.
Qin Gong and the young man also put on diving suits and dived along the steel cables, only Prasad was left on the shore.
They originally planned to leave Prasad with a set of diving equipment, but he refused.
There is a reasonable reason to leave a person on the ground.
Prasad was sitting in the cab, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, frowning.
From his point of view, it is a very dangerous behavior for so many people to go down into the deep water with the equipment. He didn't know what the "underground palace" the young man was talking about was like, but he knew that if there was anything unexpected, the bottom of the water was like a sealed coffin.
But he has no right to raise any objections. The decision to set up an outpost underwater was made by Qin Gong. Prasad's order was to obey the arrangement and cooperate with the work of the engineering team.
The command is in Qin Gong.
There is a small screen in the cab with a fiber optic cable connected to it. The fiber optic cable goes down into the deep water along with the equipment. At the end of the fiber optic cable is an underwater camera, from which you can see the general situation of the water bottom.
The young man kept in touch with Prasad through the intercom.
"Here," the young man said.
Prasad braked the winch. Judging from the length of the steel cable, the pool was at least 70 meters deep.
This depth made Prasad speechless. He didn't expect this seemingly inconspicuous pool to be so deep, far beyond his imagination.
The visibility at the bottom of the water is relatively low. As soon as they arrive at the predetermined location, the staff becomes busy. They unload the things from the steel cables and move them to the "underground palace" one by one.
Prasad stared at the screen for a while, and heard a crackling sound from the top of the cab, and a rainstorm was coming.
This downpour was fierce, and there was a huge curtain of water between the sky and the earth, and the rain from all directions collected into the pool through the east and west rivers. The water level is rising rapidly, and the excavator's crawler is about to touch the surface of the water.
"Outpost, this is the base. Do you consider retreating? Heavy rain started on it, and the water level rose quickly. I don't know if it will affect the bottom of the water." Prasad said to the interphone his suggestion. .
"I know, we also noticed that there is an undercurrent underneath." The young man's words were filled with a panting voice, and it was really exhausting to exercise in deep water.
"Don't worry, the plan remains the same-the last batch of equipment is left." Xiao Chen's words were certain, which made Prasad give up trying to dissuade again.
Prasad looked outside the cab. The pouring rain covered the cab glass so tightly that he couldn't see what was outside the window. When he turned his head back, he found that the screen was blank.
"Outposts, outposts, I can't see you anymore." Prasad said into the phone, and there was a noise from the phone.
No one responded to him.
broken! No signal!
Prasad immediately judged that the optical cable was broken. It might be the branches that were washed down by the rain, or the team members accidentally pulled them off when they were carrying things.
Now he had no choice but to sit in the cab and wait. He regrets now that he agreed to let these people go so easily.
Calm, Prasad said to himself that the outpost should soon find that the optical cable was broken, and they should send someone back to repair it. The five members who followed the engineering team were all elite members of the Gurkha cavalry. They also brought two underwater guns. They are a little more relieved in Prasad.
Prasad looked at the water pool outside, the water surface was beaten to white by the rain, and there should be a drainage channel under the water. I don't know if the undercurrent inside is turbulent.
When Prasad was staring at the water in a daze, he suddenly felt the excavator shake.
Prasad was surprised.
A few seconds later, the heavy excavator shook slightly, and the steel cable rubbed against the winch and made a harsh sound. Prasad looked up and saw that the winch was turning, the brakes had failed, and there seemed to be an incomparable force under the water, pulling the steel cable to move down quickly.
Prasad opened his eyes wide, seeing that there were fewer and fewer steel cables on the winch, and the one hundred meters of steel cables would soon come to an end.
Prasad was shocked and ignored the heavy rain outside, opened the cockpit door and jumped out.
As soon as his feet landed, only a few loud noises were heard, the steel cable was finally pulled to the end, the heavy excavator shook, and it was pulled and slipped into the pool!
After the excavator slid forward for a certain distance, it was probably stuck in a certain position underwater, and it was frozen in the water. Only the body was still shaking, and it stopped after a while.
At this time, most of the excavators that had been parked on the shore were already submerged in the water, and only the cockpit was still exposed.
Prasad sank into the muddy water, staring at it all in amazement.
Such a terrifying force is by no means human beings. What happened to the staff and the Gurkha cavalry who went down? Are they still alive
After a few minutes, a thin blisters appeared on the water. After a while, a man in a wetsuit emerged from the water and slowly swam to the shore.
It's a Gurkha mercenary under his own!
After Prasad saw the visitor clearly, he rushed to the water and pulled him up. As soon as he took off his diving mask, the Gurkha cavalry immediately vomited a few mouthfuls of blood.

"Go! There are monsters underwater!" he struggled.
Prasad picked up the Gurkha cavalry, who was constantly bleeding in his mouth, and ran to the shore.
Behind them, a large number of bubbles suddenly appeared in the pool, and a stench began to fill the air.
Prasad ignored the changes in the water and laid the injured Gurkha cavalry flat on the ground, took out a syringe and medicine from the first aid kit, and injected him with a central nervous system stimulant.
This drug can improve respiratory and circulatory functions and promote the excretion of nitrogen dissolved in the blood.
When scuba diving is under too much pressure, a large amount of nitrogen will be incorporated into the diver's blood. If it floats too fast, the nitrogen dissolved in the body tissues will dissolve quickly, and the blood will "boiling" like beer foam.
After the central nervous system stimulant was injected, the Gurkha cavalry coughed and sprayed blood.
Prasad knew that drugs could only prolong his death time. If emergency decompression was not performed, he would undoubtedly die, but there was no decompression equipment here.
Can't let him die so soon! Prasad must know what happened below.
"What did you meet? Tell me!" Prasad asked, shaking his shoulder.
"He, they opened the gates of hell and released evil and demons." The Gurkha cavalry said bluntly.
Prasad was stunned. Could this mysterious deep pool lead to hell
At this time, the sky was approaching dusk, and the dusk was gradually falling, the heavy rain suddenly stopped, and a faint mist rose on the water.
The pool of water under the mist was surging, as if something was emerging from the bottom of the water.
"Quick, run, the devil, the devil are out..." The Gurkha mercenary opened his eyes wide and looked behind Prasad in horror.
Prasad turned his head and looked, and saw that gray shadows suddenly appeared on the mist-shrouded water. In the faint twilight, you could see these "grey shadows" with long slender claws and pointed mouths. come out. The exposed "skin" was bald, covered with a thin film of mucus.
These gray shadows float quietly on the water, like sculptures.
Prasad stared at these gray shadows, and did not dare to show the atmosphere.
Suddenly, the Gurkha mercenary coughed violently again. Those gray shadows were startled by the sound, shrugged their shoulders, and their slender paws slowly stretched out, and there was a huge pair of wings attached to their backs, and they were two or three meters wide after being fully extended!
Prasad hurriedly covered his teammate's mouth, but it was too late. With a flick of his wings, the gray shadow flew up from the water.
Prasad didn't think much about it. He picked up the Gurkha mercenaries and ran to the village. After a few gray shadows flying in the air circled for a few times, they suddenly jumped from the air to the ground like a sharp arrow and were running. Prasad was like a tiny rabbit, shrouded in the huge shadow cast by the gray shadow.
