Ling Hao and Cheng Zhuxin lay on the railing of the boat, listening to the sound of the hard hull crushing the ice caps on the lake, and letting the biting Siberian wind blow by.
"What do you see under the ice?" Zhu Xin suddenly pointed at the ice not far away and asked.
I saw a bunch of white bubble-like things underneath a large piece of ice in the distance, frozen in the thick ice, as if solidified.
"This is one of the wonders of Lake Baikal, the 'ice bubbles'. It is methane gas produced by underwater humus, which is frozen as the layers of lake water freeze." A crisp female voice sounded from behind the two of them, Shi Si was like a little rabbit, hopping over and squeezing in between the two of them. "Also, look at the ice that was broken by the ship." Ling Hao and the other two followed Shi Si's hands, and the huge pieces of broken ice turned up, showing a kind of green glass in the early morning sun. Clear light green, very beautiful. "The water quality of Lake Baikal is very good, reaching the level that you can drink it directly, so the ice will be very clear. Do you want me to get some to try?"
"Such cold water, even if it is drinking water, will cause diarrhea after drinking it, so why don't you do it?" Ling Hao grabbed her little head, twisted it half a circle, and pushed it towards the cabin. , the latter pouted and left in a flick. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Anyway, she felt uncomfortable when she saw Ling Hao and Cheng Zhuxin together. It was as if the brother who had always cared for and protected her was about to be taken away from her, and she would never treat her like before. As if he was feeling well, he couldn't help but want to go up and stir things up for them.
"This little girl is very jealous." Zhu Xin looked at Ling Hao meaningfully and whispered with a wicked smile.
"You are thinking too much. That girl is still a child in mind. We all treat her as our little sister." Ling Hao explained.
"Girls will always grow up before you know it. I have also heard about her life experience. To her, you are not only the big brother who takes care of her, but also the god in her world. After all, she Your social circle is too small, and there is no one around you who can really be considered your peers, so you should be careful." Zhu Xin patted Ling Hao on the shoulder and ended the topic in a timely manner. There is no need for a heavy hammer to play the drum. This kind of thing must be handled by Ling Hao himself. Speaking of this, he should understand the importance.
A dozen big Russian men with big shoulders and round waists were laughing and laughing at the stern of the boat. They all had their guns slung behind their backs. They wore gloves and only tied a big fishhook with a fishing line, hung a half-foot-long dead fish, and threw it away. Once in the water, this method of fishing is really rough, and it is very consistent with the style of the fighting nation.
But I didn’t expect that the fish in Lake Baikal also have this kind of character. In just a moment, a one-meter-long, yellow pike was carried on the boat by the big man, and was washed and skinned on the spot. It looked like he must have seen it at the lunch table. .
At this time, Li Liang strolled over and asked with a smile: "You are not greedy. If it were anyone else, they would have negotiated terms with Basharov based on sharing last night, even if they proposed to divide the treasure. 20%, maybe he will agree to it, but I didn’t expect you to explicitly price it at only 7 million.”
Ling Hao also laughed: "Although money is good, you have to spend it with your life. If there are billions of rubles in the treasure, will Basarov be willing to give me 20% after seeing the real money? ? Even if it is 7 million US dollars, if the treasure is not enough, it will be enough for him to press us on the bow of the ship and sweep us for a few times. This old boy is not a good boy. I can see it from his eyes. He is definitely a master who kills without blinking an eye."
Li Liang smiled and nodded: "Well, you have indeed matured in the past two years. You know how to measure and control desires. This is an important condition for survival in society. But this time, don't worry, your good uncle is here. He doesn't dare to do anything to you. Even though he is a local snake, for me, it only takes a matter of minutes to finish him off." After saying that, Li Liang tightened his fur cloak and went back to the cabin to take shelter from the wind.
As soon as Li Liang left, Tian Yong and Yang Xueting came over. Both of them looked thief. Tian Yong whispered: "I learned Russian in the special forces. I just listened to the chat of the big guys fishing. These people are terrible." They are not ordinary security guards. They are all retired veterans. They have been on the battlefield and killed people. I have seen the guns they carry. They are well maintained. The combat effectiveness of these people is definitely good. Are they here to fight? Are you coming to salvage it? It’s not targeting us, right?”
"What? Are you scared?" Ling Hao asked with a smile.
Yang Xueting curled her lips and said: "At this level, I can defeat them all by myself within 30 minutes. It would be a big mistake to just think of us as divers."
Seeing Yang Xueting say this, Tian Yong was afraid that she thought he was timid, so he quickly added: "Leave it to me, I can get it all done in 20 minutes."
Ling Hao smiled and shook his head: "I will not offend others unless they offend me. If they offend me, I will offend them. Just pay attention to them."
The morning passed in a blink of an eye, and the lunch dish was indeed pike. Because of the bitter cold environment, Russians especially like high-calorie soup-like foods. After the pike is fried in butter, it is paired with tomatoes and onions. It seems that a lot of potatoes have been added and stewed in a pressure cooker into a thick soup. Each person has a plate and two slices of "big ribs". It is considered a "summer" lunch. For Chinese people's diet Generally speaking, these things look a little disgusting, but you can't be too particular about it when you go out. It's good if you can eat enough.
The ship drove until midnight before arriving at the positioning coordinates. Basharov asked the diving team to go to sleep, while his people were responsible for chipping away at the ice and clearing a piece of water that was convenient for operations. The searchlight was turned on on the ship, and a group of big Russian men jumped onto the ice and started chipping away at it. Ling Hao didn't pay much attention and took his own people back to sleep. They would go into the water after dawn, so they had to maintain enough energy.
There were not many cabins on the ship. Basharov thought Ling Hao and Zhu Xin were lovers, so he naturally assigned them a cabin. The two looked at each other in the room, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"What do you want to do?" Zhuxin asked.
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect the two of us to develop so fast." Ling Hao scratched his head and said with a smile.
"What are you thinking about? Because of the limited conditions, we have no choice but to sleep together. However, the center line of the double bed is used as the boundary. You are absolutely not allowed to cross the boundary. I will interrupt any part of you that crosses the boundary." Zhu Xin He waved his small fist at Ling Hao and threatened.
"It's too violent. What if you cross the line?" Ling Hao protested.
"What? Could it be that you still want to hit me?" Zhu Xin raised her eyebrows.
"I don't dare, even if I'm beaten to death." Ling Hao was frightened for a second.
Just like this, there is a double bed, a quilt, and the two people keep a foot away from each other. Regardless of whether a young man and a woman can sleep like this, this is the winter in Siberia, and it is also on a frozen lake. Don't think about air conditioning or heating in the boat. This is not a luxury yacht. Even when you exhale in the bedroom, white smoke will emit.
After a while, Zhuxin was so cold that she curled up into a ball and arched towards the "center line" like a kitten.
"Are you cold?" Ling Hao asked.
"It's so cold."
"Shall I sleep with you in my arms?"
"Um."
"Then you won't hit me if you cross the line, right?"
"Fool."
Zhuxin got into Ling Hao's arms, and the two of them were face to face. She exhaled like a blue breath: "I'm just teasing you. You have to go into the water tomorrow, so go to bed early." After saying that, she leaned against Ling Hao. Hao's arms and two cold little feet were stretched under Ling Hao's body and he fell into a deep sleep.
Ling Hao was miserable, with the beauty in his arms, waves of daughter's fragrance flowing straight into his nose, the touch between his arms was slippery and elastic, and he didn't know where to put his hands. Even a man can't sleep like this. Not only can't he fall asleep, but he is getting more and more excited, and he doesn't dare to move and wake up the beautiful woman. This night is like heaven and hell, and every second is like a year.
Early the next morning, Cheng Zhuxin stretched out and got out of Ling Hao's arms, while the latter was sleepy and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.
"What's going on? Didn't you sleep all night?" Zhu Xin was shocked when he looked at Ling Hao.
"Please, you can just ask the groom and the official, on the wedding night, if the daughter-in-law can only hold her to sleep but cannot go any further, will they be able to sleep?" Ling Hao looked aggrieved.
Zhuxin shook his head and sighed: "It's really difficult to keep chastity when we fall in love with you. You look so pitiful that everyone will feel soft. Let's wash up and go out. I heard Shi Si and the others We're all on deck. When you come back, I'll make it up to you, okay?" After saying that, he kissed Ling Hao gently on the cheek, and the latter immediately came back to life with full blood.
By the time Ling Hao packed up and got on the deck, everyone in the diving team was already there. After a busy night, Basharov's people had cleared a piece of water 30 meters long and 20 meters wide, dressed like a marshmallow. Shi Si also put various detectors into the water, holding a lollipop in his mouth and holding a laptop to monitor the data.
Zuo Pengfei and Yuan Bing were busy adding helium and oxygen to the "Stone Crab" and "Pippi Shrimp". When they saw Ling Hao, they all had evil smiles on their faces: "Boss, you should take it easy, look at this Your eyes are red, you have been working hard all night. Aren't we talking about you? Haven't you heard that there are only exhausted cows in the unplowed land? If you do it like this, if you get into the water, won't your waist hurt? "
"You guys are farting, I won't be the loser if that's the case. It's a pity that this night is absolutely green, environmentally friendly, harmonious and healthy. Master, I'm still a 'perfect piece'!" With that, Ling Hao pulled the two of them aside and went They started to work, leaving only Yuan Bing and Yuan Bing with their mouths open and messy in the cold wind.
According to the plan, the ones who dived this time were Ling Hao, Tian Yong, Yang Xueting, Zuo Pengfei and the four big men from Basharov. Originally, Ling Hao did not agree to take the other party's people into the water. The two parties did not understand each other and it was difficult to cooperate. In addition, God knows whether these mercenaries were amateurs in saturation diving. If something went wrong with their health and they came up halfway due to their reasons, How much time do you have to waste to decompress? But Basarov was very insistent, and also assured that these four people had received professional saturation diving training, and they also had "hot water suits" and other equipment, so Ling Hao did not need to bear anything. He also pulled Ling Hao aside and said sarcastically that these four people were specially prepared to help Ling Hao and others pass through the treasure ruins.
Ling Hao sneered in his heart, believe him, this bad old man is very bad, he must be worried about himself, these four people were specially sent to keep an eye on them. Each person carries an APS underwater assault rifle on his back and a "Kurkha scimitar" tied to his leg. Ling Hao knew that as long as Basharov gave the order, these four guys would definitely pounce on him like hungry wolves. He had no choice but to understand that no one could be trusted when faced with palladium worth more than 70 million US dollars and treasures of even more immeasurable value.
At ten o'clock in the morning, everything was ready. Eight people entered the "Stone Crab" and were slowly lowered into the water by the crane under everyone's gaze, and then sank to the bottom of the water.
Shi Si put his laptop under his arm and held a "warm baby" in his arms. When he saw Cheng Zhuxin looking at the bubbles emerging from the deep lake with a worried look on his face, he felt a little unbearable and walked up to pat her. Jian said: "Don't worry, in this industry, my brother is definitely the best in the world, YYDS! And I don't know if you know, but my brother and the other three are very skilled. I have seen ships full of these Russians." Even the big guys are not big enough for my brother to fight alone, so even if there is danger, he can’t stop them.”
Zhu Xin smiled at her: "Even if he is invincible, it doesn't mean that no one will worry about him. You will understand when you grow up." After saying that, he turned back to the cabin.
"What do you mean? Am I very young?" Shi Si pouted and muttered.
Lake Baikal is a dreamlike world underwater. Due to the good water quality, the ice layer is extremely transparent. The bright sunlight is repeatedly refracted between the ice surface and the lake water, making the water exceptionally bright. I don’t know whether it’s because of the cutting of the ice surface or the low temperature of the water. There are a lot of ice chips floating in the water, which sparkle under the sunlight. Combined with the deep blue lake, it is as beautiful and dreamy as the starry sky.
A large group of one-foot-long "Zero salmon" were swimming quickly, and several cute Baikal seals were chasing behind the fish, their figures strong and flexible. One of them curiously stood on the porthole of the "Stone Crab" and looked in. His behavior was very cute.
Everyone was mesmerized by the scenery in front of them. Yang Xueting, a "male woman", couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my God, it's so beautiful and dreamy!"
