Lu Mingfei held the black N96 mobile phone and turned to a cheap panda head in the QQ contacts. He hesitated for a long time with his finger hanging on the [Send] button, and finally sent this greeting.
"Ahem!"
Not long after, the familiar and dull coughing sound came from the phone, and the panda's head in the message list flickered.
[Obviously? I was making noodles in a rental house, and your message came as soon as my phone was pressed on the noodle bucket. Why did you suddenly think of me? Looking at the last post on your space, you seem to have come to the United States to study? You are doing well.
What a boy!]
At the end of the message, Old Tang posted an awesome and proud panda face.
[It is true that I am studying in the United States, but I have something to do now. I am back to China now. I will return to the United States after I finish my work. 】
Lu Mingfei looked at the familiar expression on the sticker, and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
[I’m not talking about your brother, you are too boring! In the past two years, your StarCraft has hardly been online. Do you know how uncomfortable it feels for me to dominate the server alone, invincible, how lonely it is to be invincible! 】
Old Tang put on an invincible panda face that wanted to be beaten.
Lu Mingfei laughed out loud when he saw this. He could already imagine what the guy on the other side of the screen looked like. He must be pressing instant noodles with one hand and holding up his mobile phone to key in words. That picture was full of joy.
He looked at the phone screen and sighed, his eyebrows that had been drooping all year round were beaming with joy.
[Even though you are admitted to the United States, it is such a cause for celebration and you don’t even say hello to your brother. Is your relationship weak? I have always regarded you as my younger brother. When you come back from China, when you are free, I will take you to New York.
Come on, take the Greyhound bus, the girls in New York are so hot, it’s so enjoyable just to look at them!】
Lu Mingfei looked at the news and was silent for a long time.
"Lu Mingfei, it's time to turn off your phone. We are less than a mile away from the expected mission location!" A stern urging voice came from not far away.
"Okay, Professor Mance." Lu Mingfei responded loudly.
[It’s a deal!] After typing this sentence quickly, Lu Mingfei turned off his phone and threw it into the item storage pile in the corner.
'Old Tang, if I come back safely, I'll invite you to play instead, and I'll take you around the entire United States in a Bugatti Veyron!'
Lu Mingfei thought so, then he held the metal door panel of the lounge and stepped onto the deck of the tugboat "Monyach".
The wind was howling and raging, with the wind speed reaching the rare level nine or above; there seemed to be a hole in the sky, heavy rain poured down, and huge waves got higher and higher, causing the hull of the "Monyach" to bump and tilt.
The whole world seemed to have been drenched by this rare autumn rainstorm, which was hazy and dark. On the windy Yangtze River, only the xenon lamp of the "Monyach" was swaying up and down, like a lonely and swaying candle.
The crew members stayed at their posts in the storm. Professor Manns, the captain of the "Monyach", stood in front of the cockpit window and lit a cigar.
Lu Mingfei, who was wearing a dark black diving suit, walked step by step to the front of the deck, where Guanshi Zhengzong was tied tightly to his back behind his back.
In the scene of a raging natural disaster, Lu Mingfei stood firmly at the front of the deck. He looked at the fast and turbulent dark water and said softly.
"bring it on."
…
Fifty meters below the surface of the water.
At this depth, the light source and sound from the water surface are basically blocked. It is like an isolated world, a dull and dark abyss.
Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang were very close to each other, only about half a body apart. This was the action pattern taught to them by experienced seniors Ye Sheng and Shu De Aki. The diving duo kept a distance of twenty
It is a distance of thirty centimeters that will not affect each other's movements and can catch each other with one hand in an emergency.
They rely on the strong spotlights above their heads to illuminate the way forward, but the light of the spotlights is also diluted greatly in the water quality with many microorganisms. They can only see within two meters in front of them at most to prevent themselves from being trapped by the reef.
Or injured by a boulder.
"It's not comparable to the 20-meter diving area in the academy. Not to mention the depth, compared with the turbulent undercurrents and complex terrain here, the diving area is like a small puddle that can be stepped on to the bottom with one foot!" Lu Ming
Not to say.
"This diving suit is a bit tight, and it's a bit uncomfortable on the back." Chu Zihang touched his back, where Murasame was tightly tied. This was the equipment Lu Mingfei had specifically asked to tie on since the beginning of their practice.
"In case of any emergency, you'll feel more at ease if you have someone on hand, right?" Lu Mingfei said.
"It makes sense." Chu Zihang nodded.
They are connected by a signal line with a separate channel. Otherwise, if there is no one to communicate with in the dark and uninhabited deep water, it is easy to produce negative emotions such as mania, depression, and despair.
The nanomaterials in their diving suits can withstand water pressure of about ten atmospheres. The oxygen tubes next to the sabers behind them are tied to their backs like huge humps. This is all the equipment they need to survive underwater.
If the item is damaged, they are likely to die underwater.
"Actually, it should be more useful for you to find Caesar than me. His speech spirit is the 'Scythe Weasel', which is more effective than sonar. My 'Junyan' is ineffective underwater." Chu Zihang said suddenly.
Lu Mingfei knew that Chu Zihang was not complaining about why he wanted to involve him in such a dangerous mission, because his tone contained a bit of self-blame.
Even though you are helping others, you are still blaming yourself for not being strong enough. Brother, you have always been such an awkward person!
"But I trust you the most in the academy, senior brother." Lu Mingfei smiled, "Senior brother, there seems to be something down there. Let's go take a look?"
Lu Mingfei's cold steel claws popped out of his flippers, and they were firmly attached to the rocks that had been smoothed by water all year round. The spotlight above his head shone on the sand at the bottom of the water, and there was something there with a metallic sheen.
"It's a copper piece. It looks like it fell from a bronze sword." Lu Mingfei placed the picked up copper piece under the light of the spotlight.
The edges of the copper sheet were very sharp, and there were ancient and complicated patterns engraved on them. The patterns were not complete, but they looked very familiar to both Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang.
"It looks like it's an old thing from a thousand years ago. Is the seal carved on it a dragon inscription?" Chu Zihang asked.
"Yes, there are many such copper fragments under the sand under our feet. It seems that the direction we are looking for should be no problem. The palace of the King of Bronze and Fire should be buried in the rock layer under our feet.
I just don’t know where the specific entrance is," Lu Mingfei said.
"You can use the fragments as a clue. The closer you are to the entrance, there should be more similar fragments and relics." Chu Zihang analyzed.
"That's right, but we still need an opportunity to enter Baidi City." Lu Mingfei said.
"Opportunity? What do you mean?" Chu Zihang asked.
Sudden!
The soil and rock formations began to vibrate crazily, and the sediment at the bottom of the water was raised high to cover the sky and the sun. There was chaos under the water.
Huge cracks began to spread from the rock formations under their feet without warning, as if being cut through by a sharp blade. The rapid and turbulent water flow was like a huge hammer hitting their heads and pouring crazily into the cracks under their feet.
Mingfei hugged Chu Zihang's body tightly to prevent the two of them from being separated by the sudden turmoil.
"What the hell, what is this?" Chu Zihang roared.
"This is our opportunity, senior brother!" Lu Mingfei shouted.
