The seals chased around the "Stone Crab" and dived together, but when they reached below 50 meters, they stopped following. After all, seals are not fish, and they have to float to the vent to breathe, and the depth below 50 meters
It belongs to the world of pike.
Originally, in other areas, pike lived on the surface of the water body or in shallow water areas with more aquatic plants. However, in the winter of Lake Baikal, the shallow water areas near the shore have completely frozen into ice, and there is the threat of seals on the inner lake surface.
, so they can only occupy areas below 50 meters of water depth, where there are a large number of fine-scaled fish, Baikal omul and viviparous shellfish as food, so pike grow very large, and some can even
It grew to two meters long and weighed more than 50 kilograms. It was violent and ferocious in nature, and was definitely a bully in the water. After a while, Ling Hao and the others saw how ferocious these guys were. There were several big pike facing the "Stone Crab"
The strong lights launched an attack, making a "dong dong" sound. The Russian men were obviously a little nervous, but Ling Hao and the others acted as if nothing was wrong. Not to mention the pike, even the sharks couldn't do anything.
Cause any damage to the Stone Crab.
Although pike are ferocious, when they reach below 300 meters, they are no longer their territory. This is the territory of the giant "Pike Salmon". "Pike Salmon" is the largest cold-water carnivorous fish and is no less ferocious than
Pike, and larger in size, the largest "old longevity fish" can grow to more than 10 meters and weigh 1-2 tons. It specializes in feeding on "Baikal oil fish" in deep water, and the most common ones can grow to 4-5 meters.
, is also the biggest threat from aquatic animals in this diving activity.
The "Stone Crab" was pressurized while diving. The cabin was filled with high-pressure helium and oxygen. An hour later, the depth had reached 350 meters. Several big Russian men began to pinch their noses and rub their ears. The high pressure had already caused them to
Feeling unwell.
Zuo Pengfei showed a disdainful smile, but Ling Hao asked Yang Xueting to slow down her dive. It wasn't that he cared about these mercenary men, but he just didn't want these guys to get into serious physical trouble and have to send them off halfway.
Go up.
20 minutes later, the "Stone Crab" accurately landed next to the sunken ship. Ling Hao contacted the water surface and asked them to lower the basket and at the same time began to put on the deep-diving diving suit called a "hot water suit".
Speaking in blunt Russian, Tian Yong told several big men who were also wearing "hot water suits": "The water temperature outside is only 3-5 degrees Celsius. Even if we have 'hot water suits', for the sake of safety, our operating time should not exceed
40 minutes, everyone, watch the time and pay attention to the instruments on your diving suits at all times. After we find the gold brick, two of you will participate in the transportation, and the other two will be responsible for guarding the surroundings to prevent dangerous creatures from hurting people. Take the aps in your hands
Put them all down. The water pressure here is too high, and the magazine has been deformed and will jam. Even if it doesn't jam, at this depth, the bullet range cannot exceed 3 meters. There is a speargun in the locker over there.
It will be more useful if each person takes one. Also, the load capacity of the hanging basket at this depth is only 100 kilograms. Don't load more, otherwise it will ruin the hanging basket. Your boss will definitely feed you if you lose the gold bricks.
It's a gun." Several big men were stunned for a moment and nodded repeatedly.
Fifteen minutes later, everyone was dressed. Ling Hao took Tian Yong, Zuo Pengfei and four Russian men out of the cabin, leaving Yang Xueting to stay on the "Stone Crab".
The lake is really cold, and even wearing hot water clothes can feel a chill wrapping around the body. Ling Hao and Zuo Pengfei took the demolition tools directly to the yacht. According to Basarov's description, they walked from the outside of the boat to the place where the gold bricks were placed.
There are two waterproof sealed doors in the place, and the annoying thing is that there is also a stainless steel door of the vault.
That's right, it's the round door that's nearly a foot thick like a bank vault that you've seen in movies. Of course, this door is not solid. There are lock springs and rods inside. Not only that, the whole room is
The walls, floor, and ceiling of the cabin are all welded from steel plates up to ten centimeters thick. Unless a powerful weapon such as an RPG rocket is used, it cannot be opened by force. The vault alone weighs two tons, plus
The gold bricks inside are basically the limit of the load capacity of this small yacht.
Fortunately, the combination lock is mechanical. Basarov has already told Ling Hao the password. If it is an electronic lock, it will be completely impossible to open it if it is soaked in water. However, Ling Hao still prepared a welding gun. God knows whether the mechanical lock is reliable.
It's reliable. If there is any malfunction after soaking in water or it deforms and gets stuck during the shipwreck, other methods will have to be used to deal with it.
Several people arrived on the yacht. Ling Hao tilted his head towards a big Russian man. The latter understood and stepped forward to open the hatch. This was a waterproof door that used a winch to control the insertion rod, but the ship was beaten like a sieve.
The cabin must have been filled with water. As long as the door was not broken, it should not be difficult to open. However, the big man tried his best, but the door did not move at all. It seemed that the hull was deformed, causing the door to be stuck.
Zuo Pengfei took a step forward with a pair of rechargeable "waterproof hydraulic demolition scissors", ready to attack. This type of demolition scissors is dual-purpose. It can be used to "cut" and reversely "cut".
"Expander" is very easy to use, but the price is also very good. It is imported from Germany and costs 2100 euros a piece, which is already as much as the price of a family car.
I saw Zuo Pengfei insert the hydraulic shear into the door crack very domineeringly, and then pressed the switch. I heard a "creak" sound of metal deforming, and with a "dang" sound, the hatch was opened.
, followed by a human corpse full of bullet holes floated out of the cabin. The dead man was almost soaked to death. In the two dark eye sockets, the eyes had been eaten by an unknown animal, and his mouth was open.
There was also a crayfish hiding in there, poking around. Most of the people were used to seeing dead people and bloody things, so they basically didn’t react much. Zuo Pengfei was the only one with a simple background in science and engineering. He was relatively inexperienced in this area, so he was immediately frightened.
You have to spit out a bunch of bubbles.
As expected, the second door was also deformed. After forcefully demolishing the second door, Ling Hao and the others came to the door of the vault. There were two corpses floating here, one in a suit and leather shoes. At first glance, he looked like a
The other bodyguard is a blonde girl in a red dress. Although she has been soaked in water, judging from the lines of the red dress, this woman must have been a voluptuous beauty during her lifetime. She must have been sent by Basharov to take charge.
The mistress escorting the ship.
Ling Hao ignored the two corpses and concentrated on standing in front of the door turning the code disk. Zuo Pengfei looked at the two corpses floating next to him. He really couldn't calm down and said weakly: "Boss, can you
We can't let these corpses go outside, just floating next to them like this, I feel very sick in my heart."
Ling Hao didn't even look at him: "Okay, you can do it."
Zuo Pengfei immediately lost his temper. He was even scared to look at it. Did he still have the guts to touch it?
With a "click", the door lock of the vault opened. Two strong men stepped forward and exerted force together. The heavy steel door was opened. Under the illumination of the diving headlight, a snow-white halo shone out from the vault.
, a silvery-white halo shone on everyone's faces.
From the moment he turned the password disk, Ling Hao had already turned on the camera in his mask and started real-time video communication. At this moment, in the cabin on the water, Basharov, Li Liang, Zhu Xin and others were all on Shi Si's computer.
Go up and watch everything on the scene from Ling Hao's perspective.
"Tian Yong, let two Russians go in and count the number of gold bricks. We will start after confirming that they are correct." Ling Hao ordered. Tian Yong understood what he meant and quickly asked the two big men to count the gold bricks. At the same time, Ling Hao said to
Tian Yong said: "After counting, let Pengfei and a Russian watch here. Another Russian and I are responsible for carrying the gold bricks. You take two Russians to guard outside and control the hanging basket.
"In every link, people from both sides are present, supervising and restricting each other. After all, in the face of such huge wealth, it is really impossible to say who can do what.
The 100 gold bricks were counted correctly. Ling Hao and the big man moved 5 gold bricks and trudged out of the cabin. At this moment, Tian Yong had already pulled the hanging basket to the side of the ship. Two big Russian men were guarding the surroundings with spearguns. The 5 gold bricks were
After stacking them in the gondola, Ling Hao and his two men turned around and went back for the second move. Finally, 10 gold bricks were pulled up by the gondola. The 40 minutes were almost up. The seven people returned to the "Stone Crab" to rest and take off their clothes.
After taking off the "hot water clothes", everyone's lips were blue from the cold and they were shivering.
Xueting has prepared hot chocolate for them, which can quickly replenish calories and raise body temperature. Everyone was wrapped in thick blankets and drinking hot chocolate. The four Russian mercenaries looked very excited. Obviously, this mission went smoothly unexpectedly.
It only takes three more trips out of the cabin to get all the gold bricks out of the water. It can be seen that not only Ling Hao and the others, but also these mercenaries, the rewards for completing this task are quite considerable.
After 20 minutes, everyone basically recovered and put on their equipment again and got out of the cabin. Within 40 minutes, three more hanging baskets were transported, and a total of 40 gold bricks were salvaged from the water.
On the boat on the water, Basharov couldn't hide his excitement and greed. He took a big bath towel and wiped each gold brick personally. Then he packed ten gold bricks into four wooden boxes and asked the mercenaries to carry them in.
In the cabin.
"Li, my dear friend, I knew that asking you for help was the most correct decision I have ever made in my life." Basharov excitedly picked up a bottle of vodka, unscrewed the cap, and filled two glasses of water with it.
He handed Li Liang a cup of tea and drank his own cup in one gulp.
When we returned to the "Stone Crab" for the second time, everyone's faces were a little purple. Not only were they shaking, their fingers and toes began to feel numb, and they had basically lost consciousness. The four mercenary men were not in the mood to joke.
, everyone was a little drowsy. In addition to hot chocolate, Xueting also prepared a meal for improving hypothermia. This recipe was learned from the Internet. To put it simply, it added a lot of pepper.
Mutton meatball soup is prepared in China, sealed in a disposable lunch box and frozen in the refrigerator. You can heat it in the microwave when you need to eat it.
This kind of soup is high in calories and spicy. After eating, everyone is sweating, as if the cold air that has penetrated into the bones has been forced out.
Everyone recovered again and started the third out-of-vehicle operation. It went smoothly at first, but when moving to the third gondola, the accident finally happened.
Ling Hao held two gold bricks in his hands and trudged onto the deck of the sunken ship. Tian Yong pulled the hanging basket to get as close to him as possible. The moment Tian Yong turned around, Ling Hao noticed that his expression changed drastically.
, the long-term training made him do not need to think at all, and he fell to the ground subconsciously. At this moment, the two Russian men on alert had already started shouting "Aoao" and raised their spearguns to shoot.
Ling Hao suddenly turned over and lay face up on the deck. He saw a huge black shadow passing over, like a large torpedo, nearly 10 meters long. Under the illumination of the spotlight,
A fish head that was so huge that it could stop one's heartbeat appeared in front of Ling Hao's eyes, with a pair of cold fish eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Get down!" Ling Hao shouted at the big Russian man who was still running hard with three gold bricks in his arms. At the same time, he took off the spear gun from his leg and shot at the fish head. However, the fish head was too big.
, the fish arrow was inserted into the gill cover, but it failed to damage the gills. In full view of everyone, the big fish opened its bloody mouth and bit the Russian man. Three gold bricks fell to the ground, and the big fish just
After two swallowing movements, the big man only had a pair of flippers exposed outside the fish's mouth.
Ling Hao was furious. He unsheathed his "Dragon Arc" sword and stabbed it in the belly of the fish. As the big fish swam quickly, a long and large gash was opened. The black blood instantly dyed the lake water red. The big fish
In pain, he ran away like an arrow from a string.
Ling Hao got up, picked up three gold bricks and put them into the hanging basket, then waved to a big man who was on guard and was still in shock. There was no use standing there, the dead could no longer live, and even the corpses could not be snatched.
Back, the only way to reduce the risk is to complete the task in the shortest time. Ling Hao did not hesitate and continued to go back to the cabin to move the gold bricks.
Everyone watching the real-time video on the water was stunned. Cheng Zhuxin covered his mouth and started to tremble all over. Shi Si suddenly shouted: "This is a giant salmon. Oh my God, it's bigger than a great white shark."
!”
Li Liang picked up the communicator and said to Ling Hao: "Ling Hao, it's too dangerous. Why don't you guys come up here?"
"Uncle Liang, don't worry. This kind of large fish is very territorial. It's impossible for two to appear in the same water area. This one has been eviscerated by me. Even if it doesn't die, it will never dare to come near us again. Now it is
It's safer. There's not much work left, so I'll knock it off after it's done." Ling Hao was confident, and Li Liang couldn't say anything else.
In this way, two hours later, all the gold bricks were released, and Basarov transferred the money to Ling Hao's account very faithfully. Ling Hao and the others were resting in the "Stone Crab". Two hours later, they
