"Hey, no?"
Facing Song Wenbin's answer, Huo Yu was not much surprised.
"If you don't have it, then you don't have it. These things are enough for us to do business."
She pointed to the gold and silver around her and said, "We found the treasure, and we took enough footage. This is a very exciting show, and it is enough for both the country and the audience."
There was indescribable ease and relief in her tone, and it was obvious that she really felt that these things were enough.
But Song Wenbin doesn't think so. Gold and silver jewelry, gold statues, ancient porcelain, or piles of these artifacts are not what the country ultimately wants, nor are they even what the audience ultimately wants. If they come Looking for the Nine Pattern Dragon Treasure Box, I ended up bringing back a bunch of things that had nothing to do with the box. This feeling is no less than that the audience clearly came to see him misogynistic, but in the end they saw him making out with a beautiful girl. It was unbearable... unbearable... unbearable...
He pulled the collar that was tight around his neck, climbed down from the hill of gold coins, and climbed back from the sampan back to the Shenxing Taibao without looking back. Sutina was squatting next to Wu Tou to watch over him. When she saw Song Wenbin coming back, she stood up and asked, "Brother Song, how are you?"
Song Wenbin didn't answer. He walked directly to Wutou, pulled out his gun, pointed it at his head and suppressed his restlessness and said, "Where is the Nine-Patterned Dragon Treasure Box?"
Su Tina was startled by Song Wenbin's sudden movement, and quickly grabbed him and exclaimed: "Brother Song..."
Song Wenbin pushed her away and asked Wutou loudly: "Where is the Nine-Patterned Dragon Treasure Box!?"
At this time, the film crew and Huo Yu also hurriedly climbed up. They shuddered when they saw Song Wenbin pointing a gun at Wutou.
Wu Tou looked up at Song Wenbin's face, and when he saw his appearance, he couldn't help but smile: "I don't know... what are you talking about... friend..."
"A box!"
Song Wenbin squatted down, grabbed Wu Tou's collar, and said sternly: "A box with nine dragons tattooed on it!
There are three treasures inside!
"
As he spoke, the wind and waves on the sea seemed to become stronger.
"Oh, you mean that..."
Wutou suddenly realized, "I seem to remember that there is such a thing... But I don't know what is in that box. It is possible that it is indeed something valuable. However, the valuable thing on the Van Balen There are so many things that I can’t react at once…”
"Where did you put it!?" Song Wenbin asked impatiently.
"Onboard the Poison Queen."
"Why hasn't it been fished out?"
"How long will it take? Can they finish salvaging it?"
Wu Tou sneered: "Do you know what the concept of tens of billions of dollars in wealth is? Do you know how deep the sea is down here?"
Song Wenbin was silent.
"I chose this place carefully because the seabed here is slope-shaped. The shallowest place here is forty to fifty meters, and the deepest place is more than eighty meters."
After a pause, Wutou said: "Although my Indonesian friends all have excellent water skills, it is still difficult to dive below fifty meters. As for the box with nine dragons you mentioned, I remember that Van Balen was There were many boxes in the ship, so they were placed in the cargo hold at the bow, and the gold bars were placed at the stern to facilitate subsequent salvage. I think that box is still at the bow. If you want it, Now just go down and salvage it.”
Song Wenbin stared at Wutou's eyes for a while, then silently took back the gun, handed it to the captain on the side, and finally walked slowly down the cabin.
Everyone saw Song Wenbin's thoughts and followed him one after another.
Huo Yu said a few words in Sutina's ear, and Sutina suddenly became a little nervous. She caught up with Song Wenbin and asked beside him: "Brother Song, do you really want to go?"
"why not."
Song Wenbin said expressionlessly.
"But, I think... we're almost there."
Su Tina said uneasily: "Huo Yu thinks so, and I think it's about the same."
"about there."
"Yes." Sutina said: "We have found enough treasures. If we return to China now, no one will say anything to us. But if we continue to go into the water, we don't know how long it will take. If it drags on for a long time, we will wait until the Indonesian sea It will be bad when the police come. After all, so many people have just been arrested, and no one knows whether they have..."
While talking, Song Wenbin came to the place where the diving equipment was stored in the Shenxing Taibao cabin, and the medical staff and engineers from the team came to greet him.
If nothing was found, Song Wenbin felt that he would just leave. It would make no difference to return home anyway. But now, when the Jiuwenlong treasure chest was close to Chi Chi, he said he didn't want to leave like this.
"Brother Song..."
Sutina also wanted to persuade him.
"Did you think this way before the college entrance examination?" Song Wenbin asked.
"No, what are you thinking about? Of course not."
Sutina said in surprise: "But...this kind of thing is incomparable."
"It's the same to me." Song Wenbin said: "I don't want to let others down."
“You don’t want to let people down.”
Sutina repeated, her expression a little dull.
"good."
Song Wenbin decisively began to take off his shirt: "I don't want to go back and give an ambiguous answer to the boss. I've had enough. I'm done living the same life."
In the blink of an eye, he had stripped down to his underwear and was wearing a wetsuit.
Sutina looked at Huo Yu helplessly. Huo Yu put down his arms, sighed, and silently took off his shirt.
"Huo Yu?" Sutina was surprised.
"I'll go down with him so that if anything happens, I'll have someone to take care of him."
Song Wenbin, who was putting on a diving suit, said: "You don't have to go down with me this time. The goal is not big. I am enough alone."
"You don't want to disappoint others. I also hate other people's gossip. If I don't come back if I hate Teacher, I'm afraid I will be sprayed into pieces by your group of idiot fans."
Song Wenbin was stunned. He didn't expect Huo Yu to find such a ridiculous reason: "I..." What else did he want to distinguish.
"No need to be verbose, I don't need you to teach me how to do things." Huo Yu interrupted him directly. She skillfully put on her wetsuit and ordered: "Zip it for me."
Song Wenbin was silent. After hesitating for a moment, he walked behind Huo Yu and helped her zip up the wetsuit. After putting on the wetsuit, Huo Yu walked up to him and helped him zip up his back.
Sutina bit her lower lip and looked at her two colleagues, and said softly: "In that case, I will watch for you from above."
"Sorry to trouble you." Huo Yudan said calmly.
Seeing that all three members of the team had unified their opinions, the entire Shenxing Taibao crew started operating at the same time.
Soon, the front hatch of the Shenxing Taibao was opened, and the platform used for underwater exploration was pushed out. Helium and oxygen bottles and the medical team were all in place, and the proportion of helium and oxygen used for saturation diving began in full swing.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the moonlight shining on the sea water not only did not make the sea water brighter, but instead made the deep sea below as dark as ink.
Before finally entering the water, Song Wenbin and Huo Yu sat on the diving platform together, waiting for the rest of the team to be ready.
If nothing else happens, this will be their last deep dive. At this time, it would be a lie to say that the mood is not complicated.
Song Wenbin looked at the bottomless swell below him and turned his eyes to his colleague beside him. Seeing that her face was still covered with bruises and blood marks from the aconite blow, he couldn't help but persuade her: "Really?" Are you okay? You are still injured."
Huo Yu glanced at him and did not answer his question, but asked himself: "Is this how you gained one million fans?"
"What?" Song Wenbin didn't understand why Huo Yu would ask him such a question at such a time.
"Want to prove yourself?"
Huo Yu said in a voice that only they could hear.
Song Wenbin looked at her and didn't know how to answer. He had not thought about this kind of question in detail, why he wanted to live broadcast, why he hated women, and why he wanted to insist on being in the water. Something has been integrated into his instinct, like his breathing, becoming a part of his life.
"Maybe." Song Wenbin replied in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter." Huo Yu lowered his head and said with his feet gently tapping the water: "I have had such moments too."
yes.
Song Wenbin thought to herself, how could she not be someone who wanted to prove herself when she was able to win the European Championship at such a young age? However, she had probably already proven herself, winning the championship, opening a dragon farm, and being a supervisor. He is just a 25-year-old streetwalker who has accomplished nothing and doesn’t know what to do except live streaming.
"but....."
Huo Yu raised his head and looked at Song Wenbin seriously, wanting to say something.
Song Wenbin also pricked up his ears, but at this moment, the medical doctor behind him came over and handed them a breathing mask connected to helium and oxygen.
"The depth of the water this time is eighty meters or even deeper. I'm not sure how long you have to search down there to find it, but remember, the search must end before the air pressure is reduced by half, otherwise it will be very dangerous." Medical The teacher warned in a solemn voice.
"Copy that." Song Wenbin said, putting the breathing mask on his face.
Huo Yu thought for a while, but finally said nothing and silently put the breathing mask on his face.
The two took a deep breath of helium and oxygen, and the crew members on the side also put on wetsuits. As an assistant, they had to go into the water with Song Wenbin and Huo Yu.
At this time, there are no longer too many words, and every minute and every second is extremely precious.
After a short but long ten minutes of oxygen inhalation, helium and oxygen filled every cell of Song Wenbin. Su Tina personally helped them carry the heavy oxygen bottles. Song Wenbin and Huo Yu gave each other an OK gesture and nodded. With a kick of his legs, he and the members of the film crew sank into the inky sea water.
Along with the rising bubbles and the rumbling sound of water in his ears, Song Wenbin's restless heart calmed down the moment he entered the water. He felt that he had never been as eager for the final victory as he was now, nor had he been so focused.
The distance of twenty meters passed almost instantly. Soon, his companions in the film crew were left behind, and he and Huo Yu entered deeper waters together. Different from every previous dive, this time the dive was late at night. There was no light on the seabed. The only thing used for lighting was the spotlight on his and Huo Yu's shoulders.
Soon, when he dived to a depth of forty meters, under the spotlight, Song Wenbin saw a huge thing on the seabed that resembled a lake. It lies tilted on the seabed, and the cold water flows slowly, wrapping the sunken ship like a gray curtain, sealing it like a coffin, so that it can be buried under the deep sea forever.
Poison Queen.
The salvage ship that raised the Van Balen twenty years ago.
Su Tina's electric voice came to her ears: "The sonar shows that the overall length of this ship is ninety meters, and it is sinking at a forty-five degree angle. There is a height difference of forty meters between the bow and the stern. Take your time, don't Let the pressure build up too quickly.”
Song Wenbin made an OK gesture to the camera on his forehead, and after his body had almost adapted to the water pressure, the two of them continued downward.
After getting closer to the sunken ship, Song Wenbin could see the steel structures wrapped in mud and coral reefs. Unlike the Van Balen, this sunken ship was very modern and almost the same as the Xiangyanghong, the mother ship of the Jiaolong. Since it didn't sink for a long time, the messy steel frames and equipment have not yet been completely covered by microorganisms, and some faint English letters can even be seen on their surfaces.
Of course, in addition to those dilapidated structures, Song Wenbin could also see a large number of coins and porcelain fragments scattered on the deck. The number of these items was so large that Song Wenbin and Huo Yu could still see them after they fell on the sand. Saw scattered cultural relics everywhere.
Even Song Wenbin, who didn't know much about archeology, couldn't help but feel a little bit of pain in his heart when he saw these fragments. Obviously, the Indonesians didn't want to consider the value of cultural relics at all when they were salvaging. They just wanted to finish salvage and leave as soon as possible. As for protection, that was not at all among their considerations.
Of course, he didn't have time to think about this. Every second of time on the seabed was extremely precious. The cultural relics on the stern of the ship were not among his considerations. He and Huo Yu stepped on the gold coins that could be seen everywhere and walked along the sloping seabed. Touching deeper and deeper.
After descending twenty meters, it was sixty meters underwater.
He and Huo Yu came to the middle section of the Queen of Poison. Here, they could vaguely see the red English logo of the Queen of Poison on the side of the cabin, but the English was broken from it.
What caused it to break was a huge gap. The gap was radial and had a diameter of ten meters. From it, you could clearly see the internal structure of the hull, as well as some marine fish that had settled here.
Song Wenbin and Huo Yu looked at each other. Although they were mentally prepared, they still couldn't hide their shock when they saw this kind of crack.
The people at Odyssey Company did not lie. In order to prevent the ship from being found by Indonesia, Ronald Hatcher personally blew it up and sank it to the bottom of the sea.
Huo Yu grabbed Song Wenbin, pointed to the bow of the ship, waved his hand, and pointed to the gap.
Song Wenbin understood what she meant, which was to let him enter through the gap and search the sunken ship from the inside. After all, according to Wu Tou's dictation, he placed the Nine-Patterned Dragon Treasure Box in the cargo hold at the bow of the ship.
Song Wenbin tapped the camera on his head.
Sutina's voice immediately came from the earphones: "You go in, I will help you look around, but remember to be careful, I don't know the internal structure of this ship, don't let those steel structures damage your equipment. .”
Song Wenbin said OK, and Huo Yu lightly jumped up, and got into the sunken ship through the huge gap that was blown up.
Passing through a huge crack as big as radiating flower petals, the two swam into the rusty and chaotic cabin.
The cabin was pitch dark, and the water contained a large number of microorganisms. Only two or two bright round spots could be seen under the spotlight on the shoulder.
Here tables and chairs break, decks collapse, and rusty ceilings look down into dead silence. Through the rusted steel door, you can see the broken and twisted cabins. They were torn and squeezed in the explosion, twisting the original passage like a maze. As Song Wenbin swam slowly through it, some frightened thick moray eels quickly retracted their heads from the twisted gaps.
Due to the complex terrain in the cabin, Song Wenbin took off the flashlight on his shoulder and shined it everywhere. Broken instruments were scattered everywhere on the tattered seats, and a few curious sea fish were suspended on the high ceiling, staring at him curiously.
Suddenly, Huo Yu grabbed Song Wenbin's arm and pointed to a place. Song Wenbin turned his head and looked, and his heart stopped for half a beat. Even from the earphones, the sound of Sutina taking a breath came.
In the corridor five meters away from them, an overturned iron cabinet full of coins was overturned. Under the cabinet, three gray-black skeletons were twisted and entangled together, and the outstretched arm of one of the skeletons could be vaguely seen.
They were soaked in the flowing seawater, motionless, as if they were witnessing the despair of the terrible explosion decades ago.
Although Song Wenbin had seen some people who died in shipwrecks when he was on the Van Balen, they were far from the shock of such close and direct contact through the thick cover of the Jiaolong. Moreover, these people were not dead. In a shipwreck, he died in a conspiracy.
Obviously, Wu Tou did not communicate with his crew when he sank the ship, or in other words, he did not even think about letting these people leave alive with the secret. As witnesses of huge treasures, these lonely souls are eternally sealed under the sea.
