deep sea.
Seven frogmen were suspended in front of the entrance of the undersea tunnel, with spotlights fixed on their shoulders shooting around, and their breathing formed a large group of rising bubbles.
Li Liang stepped on the water, his muscles tense and nervous.
A thousand years ago, every time I went to Yalong Bay with my father and brother, they would dive, but they had never been to such deep waters for snorkeling.
Last time Yuan Zhen and I went to Zhenjie Fort, we did dive for a while, but the depth was not great, the distance was not too far, and there were lights outside Zhenjie Fort, so the whole process was acceptable.
However, this time, he had to pass through a ten-kilometer-long natural tunnel in the dark and deep sea before he could get close to the Defiant at the other end.
He really wanted to take a submarine and go directly there, but Tu Ran's preparation for this submarine was really awkward and he was slow to turn around. Once discovered by Li Zhenguan's submarine, he would be a living target.
The group can only put on frogman equipment and swim over.
Dr. Xisen is still in a coma, Daji is heavy, Monkey Zhizhi is too small to wear equipment, and the water quality in the water and wild areas is not good, so they are not suitable for getting out of the boat. In addition, the number of people does not mean much, so at this moment, there are people who are preparing to enter the tunnel except Li Liang, Just K, Tu Ran, Lizzy Caplan, Brother Shui, the Finnish middleman Simon Haye who is good at sniping, and the tall Russian middleman Levit Nenko.
Among the seven people, Li Liang had the most bubbles in his vomit.
Tu Ran is the most relaxed person. This retired CEO with chicken skin, white hair, and short stature only wears a breathing mask and a deep-sea diving suit. He carries a small oxygen tank on his back. He spits out a small amount of bubbles after a long interval and swims. Room is very flexible.
Most of the others have simple equipment, carrying more weight, and some have weapons wrapped in waterproof membranes.
But Li Liang was wearing a complete set of diving equipment.
He put on a diving mask, a rubber jacket, flippers, a large oxygen tank, counterweights, a computer watch, and a buoyancy compensator. In short, he put on everything in the submarine, but he still felt unsure.
At this time.
K made a gesture, started the propeller, and swam towards the tunnel.
Tu Ran stepped on the water and jumped out like a fish, while the others started their propellers one after another.
Li Liang held the handle of the propeller with both hands and felt pulled forward by a force. At first, the direction was wandering and he almost hit Lizzy Caplan. Fortunately, he adapted to the control method in a moment and swam in following the others. tunnel.
Naturally formed tunnels are sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and are rugged.
Soon, Li Liang discovered that there seemed to be an ocean current carrying them forward, much faster than expected.
From time to time, cotton-like impurities drifted through the spotlights. As far as the eye could see, there were no fish or corals. Occasionally, large groups of algae could be seen.
After the nuclear war, the seawater was polluted and fish were basically extinct.
In this era, the ocean has long been silent.
Dark, cold, and dead.
Li Liang was still a little nervous at first, but gradually became numb.
Not only because of the low temperature, but also because the surrounding environment was almost unchanged, his thinking became slow.
I don't know how long it took, but someone in front suddenly stopped. Li Liang didn't react, and his head hit the flipper of the person in front.
He exhaled a stream of bubbles before he stabilized his body.
It turns out that the tunnel has come to an end.
Everyone turned off the spotlights, but there was a diffuse light source fixed on K's back.
Li Liang swung his flippers and followed Lizzy Caplan towards the exit.
The outlet shows an upward trend, like a tilted spout.
A few minutes later.
Li Liang swam out holding a huge boulder and saw the Defender at a glance.
The next moment, his breathing rhythm was disordered, and he sprayed out a large group of bubbles.
...This is too big.
The Free Trade Defender looks like a mountain range across the field of vision, with a cylindrical shape as a whole. There is a huge spotlight on the bridge towering above, projecting a beam of light to pierce the darkness and rotate slowly.
In the haze, you can see that it is slightly tilted and stuck among the boulders on a hill. The black boat body is covered with white coral "corpses", as if it is wearing white armor, and the coral bones spread out, making it almost connected to the hill. One body.
Looking around, the Defiant looks like a giant sleeping in the deep sea, with a sense of oppression coming towards it.
Li Liang felt like a tiny ant looking up at human skyscrapers.
Several submarines happened to be hovering near the bridge, and the spotlights were swept by light beams. These submarines had a length but not a radius as long as the light beams, like several thin pencils.
Seeing it from the outside with your own eyes and looking at the structural diagram in the main control room are completely different.
Li Liang finally understood that this was not just a submarine, but a city.
Suddenly, K made a fierce gesture and lowered his body.
Li Liang was stunned for a moment, turned around and immediately pressed himself against the boulder.
moment.
The spotlight cast a spot of light and swept over it.
K raised his head and watched the submarines near the bridge. After confirming that the submarines were not responding, he dived behind a rock, turned on the scattered light source, took out a board and wrote "Above, Li Zhenguan, the entrance is dangerous."
Before departure, they could not contact the Defiant, so they could only research ways to enter from the outside. Tu Ran introduced that the Defiant had a total of four entrances and exits.
There is one bridge and three on the hull, one in front of the bridge, one behind the bridge, and the last one leads to the spare equipment compartment. There are many drains, bottom drains and longitudinal seam drains, but they are all filtering equipment and cannot be drilled through.
There are four entrances and exits. It seems that the entrance to the spare equipment compartment is the safest, but Tu Ran believes that Carlos will definitely focus on this entrance and exit, but it is prone to accidents. It is better to choose the entrance behind the bridge.
It leads to an area where many forces are entrenched, and it has always been quite chaotic.
Li Liang also admitted that Tu Ran had made a decision.
Cain previously introduced that although the Mayflies in the Defender have their lairs, the real lawless place is not just the Mayflies, but multiple gangs doing business. In addition, even if the Mayflies have people, they will gradually divide over time. There are some "local" forces, each with its own territory, and sometimes there is friction.
Therefore, it is relatively reasonable to choose this entrance.
But at this moment, after being reminded by K, Li Liang discovered that a small submarine happened to be hovering above the entrance.
Tu Ran took the board and pen and wrote, "I, Levit, attract firepower."
K shook his head, took the board, and started writing.
Putting aside the danger of alerting others, K obviously does not agree with this kind of planned death of his companions.
Li Liang didn't pay attention to this discussion.
He floated up to the boulder and looked at the Defiant.
All four exits are actually guarded by submarines.
The one with the most exits on the bridge is at least four ships, and there is one exit below.
But...
Li Liang looked at the giant rotating spotlight and thought of a word.
So, he turned around and waved his hand, attracting everyone's attention, and then pointed to the bridge.
Then he took the board from K's hand, erased the words on it, and wrote three words again in the dark under the lamp.
