Chapter Ninety-Nine Survival from desperate situation
Immediately afterwards, the air flow swirled, as if some force had sucked away the air, and there was a feeling of suffocation. A strong wind blew out of thin air, flying away all the insect excrement on the "island", and those tentacles seemed to be in the strong wind.
They were flying everywhere like willow branches, and they were completely unable to attack Ling Hao and the others. The latter inserted the weapon into the ground to fix his body, and lay down on his back, close to the ground, trying to minimize the area affected by the strong wind.
About ten minutes later, the storm stopped suddenly, and all the tentacles quickly retracted into the water, as if they were frightened.
Ling Hao and the others were blown away by the wind, as if they were in another world. They only heard the "buzzing" sound of the engine. Ling Hao shook his head, and then he could focus his eyes. A black thing flew from the sky.
, hovering above their heads.
"It's a drone! They're coming to save us!" Ling Hao heard Xueting's crying cry. It's not a drone. It's a four-rotor drone with a camera underneath.
With a "plop", another huge thing was thrown down from the sky. Although it was equipped with a parachute, it still made a huge splash when it entered the water. The inflatable floating mat slowly became larger, like a big jar.
The thing surfaced, and it turned out to be a decompression chamber.
Ling Hao understood everything. The entrance to the cave was blown open again, and this time it was opened wider than last time. The pressure difference between the upper and lower spaces immediately caused a storm, and the air quickly spurted upwards, which caused their breathing to be short-lived.
Although the "Andean Alonso protozoa" is said to be immortal, it is sensitive to pressure and oxygen content, and quickly retracted its tentacles. The rescuers also had sufficient expectations for the following situation, and installed a decompression chamber to float it.
The pads and parachutes were pushed down. After all, the space that Ling Hao and the others were in was still in the process of rapid decompression. If they did not enter the decompression chamber as soon as possible and slowly decompress, they would probably lose pressure too quickly.
and suffered from severe decompression sickness.
"Hurry, we need to enter the decompression chamber as soon as possible, otherwise our lives will be in danger!" Ling Hao cheered up and greeted the others, without thinking about what would happen to the protozoan tentacles in the water, he just went crazy.
Jumped into the lake. Ling Hao grabbed Tian Yong and Xueting, while Shui Lingxing followed behind holding a bronze can and several people's diving bags. The two of them swam faster than a fish and rushed towards the lake like flying.
Ballast.
Sure enough, behind them, countless tentacles were rolling in the water, approaching like a mudslide. They were getting closer and closer, and they were about to catch up with the Water Spirit Star.
"I still have two grenades in my carry-on bag!" Xueting looked at the piles of tentacles rolling like an avalanche behind Shui Lingxing. The hairs on her body stood up when she saw that Shui Lingxing was still carrying everyone's carry-on bags.
Bag, suddenly remembered that there was a big killer weapon left by Natasha in it. She originally planned to use this thing as a "glory bomb" not long ago.
Without hesitation, Shui Lingxing put the carrying bag around his neck, reached out and took out two grenades, bit off the tabs with his mouth, and threw them back.
With two "booms", water jets mixed with many broken tentacles shot up six to seven meters high. With this moment of delay, Ling Hao and the others successfully got into the decompression chamber and locked the sealed door.
They are not worried at all that the door will be opened by protozoa. The sealed door of the decompression chamber is very complicated. If an ordinary person does not understand it, he may not be able to open it even if he is given half an hour, let alone a lower creature. They
There is no need to worry about those tentacles pulling the decompression chamber to the bottom of the water. There are 15 cubic meters of compressed gas in the entire decompression chamber, and there will be more gas in the floating ball outside. In order to pull them all down to the bottom of the water, Ling Hao can't calculate the need.
How much force, but he has experience, the strength required is far beyond human imagination. Moreover, the decompression chamber is a high-pressure device with an extremely strong structure. Let alone the "Andean Alonso protozoa", even if it is a dinosaur
I can't even think of opening this safe-like jar.
Ling Hao and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were safe after entering the decompression chamber. Xueting skillfully operated the internal electronic equipment and started to set the decompression program. Tian Yong had already opened the refrigerator and started rummaging through the food.
The LCD monitor on the console suddenly lit up, and the first thing that appeared in front of Ling Hao's eyes was Zhu Xin's crying face. You could see that behind her was Shi Si, who was crying so much that his nose was filled with snot.
"Ling Hao... Ling Hao! Are you okay?" In Ling Hao's eyes, Zhu Xin had never been so out of sorts like today.
Ling Hao felt that his nose was a little sore, and he forced out a smile and said: "It's okay, I can survive anywhere. Besides, I have Tian Yong and Xueting with me, what can happen?"
"You said it's okay, but it's been less than a month, and you look like you're almost losing weight." As he said that, Zhu Xin started crying again.
Before Ling Hao could answer, Shi Si finally squeezed Zhu Xin away and came to the screen. His eyes were swollen like peaches, and he could no longer care about the image of a lady. His nose almost flowed into his mouth: "Brother, what are you doing?
It scared me to death, I thought I would never see you again."
Ling Hao was amused by this girl: "Don't cry, wipe your nose, aren't we all fine? Tell me, where did you get such great ability to blow such a big hole underwater?
?”
Shi Si blew his nose, then smiled and said: "What's under the water? The lake has basically leaked out. Now the bottom of the lake is a muddy swamp. It's all thanks to Annie, Sister Zhuxin personally called her for help.
The eldest daughter of the Rothschild family is different. She has private jets flying back and forth to deliver equipment, even aerodynamic boats. In fact, yesterday we drilled a hole with a diameter of 20 centimeters. The pressure difference made the hole sound like a blow.
The flute kept ringing, and everyone reacted. They brought over the decompression chamber, modified the generator into the decompression chamber, and made the entire body waterproof. Yuan Bing and Pengfei worked non-stop.
It took more than ten hours of work to modify the decompression chamber, and it was tested with chickens and ducks to ensure its safety. Anne's team of bodyguards are very tough, and I don't know how they obtained the nitroglycerin.
, as soon as the decompression chamber was completed, those bodyguards began to blast, directly blowing up a big hole that could throw the decompression chamber down."
Ling Hao couldn't help but feel a little touched. He had always kept a distance from Annie, but this young lady was really interested in him. Ling Hao didn't believe that any bodyguard could do the job of precise directional blasting. She was 100%.
Hiring mercenaries, being able to integrate manpower, equipment, and even nitroglycerine in such a short period of time, and then transport them into the depths of the desert, how much money, connections and resources would it cost, Ling Haoguang thought about it
They all felt dizzy. I'm afraid there aren't many people in the world who can do this. I feel like I owe you a big favor this time.
Ling Hao laughed twice and said, "Thanks to Annie this time, why didn't you see her?"
At this moment, Zhuxin's mood had returned to calm. She glanced at Ling Hao teasingly and said, "What should I do if I owe a big favor this time? Do I have to pay the debt with flesh? Think about it for yourself. It's a big mess outside now, and the weather
It was extremely abnormal. The wind was surging, the rain was pouring, and it was pitch black as if day and night were reversed. There were also sounds of howling ghosts and wolves in the darkness. The archaeological team’s colored steel plate house was blown all over the sky by the strong wind. People from the Russian and British archaeological teams
They all drove away and couldn't be stopped. Professor Yu originally wanted to withdraw, but I held him back. Master Longlite said that this time it penetrated two layers of underground space, and the earth energy surged up, disturbing the earth's magnetic field.
, and also breaks the stability of space. Not only will the climate be abnormal and extreme weather occur, but once the space is distorted and things from other dimensions come to this world, the world will be in chaos."
Ling Hao looked confused. He was stunned for a long time before suddenly shouting: "What the hell is this?!" He was so frightened that he forgot about returning Annie's favor. It seemed that an extremely bad natural disaster was going on outside. This was also
Not to mention, why is Master Longlit coming here to join in the fun? What is going on in the alien space? What will come out of the alien space? Ling Hao feels that something has happened this time, and it is all his fault.
Helping your grandson is unreliable, and Uncle Liang is also an old fool. He is really at a loss for accepting such a bullshit job. He almost lost his life here, and I am afraid he will have to stay to wipe his ass. The more Ling Hao thought about it, the angrier he became.
, frowning and asked: "What is Master Longlit doing here? Hasn't he been taking care of my dad? Is there anything in this desert that he is interested in?"
Zhuxin shook his head and said: "I don't know about that. Anyway, he came with Annie on his own initiative. Now he is still studying those lugworms and rhinoceros shrimps in the mud. Annie is outside, organizing a large team of people to bring the necessary
Some equipment was reinforced, and then the personnel evacuated to the underground level to avoid the bad weather."
Ling Hao seemed to have realized something, and suddenly said eagerly: "I think something big may happen. There must be no pressure difference between the first underground floor and the second underground floor now, right? We can't wait until we finish depressurizing on the second underground floor.
, if possible, hoist the decompression chamber up, and then seal the hole. Things that should not see the light of day should never be allowed to see the light of day, otherwise God will punish you."
"Oh, I'll contact Annie and tell her." Although Zhuxin implemented Ling Hao's decision, she still couldn't hide the look of doubt on her face. She also felt that it would be safer to drag Ling Hao and the others to the "basement level" as soon as possible.
As for the rush to seal the hole and not let anything see the light of day, she couldn't understand it. After all, she didn't see the huge "Andean Alonso protozoa" below.
After the communication ended, the people above arranged how to hoist the decompression chamber up, but the three people in the decompression chamber had only one word left, and that was "eat". Various microwave-heated delicacies and the greatest human beings in the twentieth century.
One of his inventions - "instant noodles", was so delicious that the three of them had tears in their eyes. After each of them finished two servings of rice bowls and two buckets of instant noodles, the three of them finally rubbed their bellies with satisfaction.
The excitement stopped, and everyone's eyelids became heavy and they felt drowsy.
Suddenly, the decompression chamber shook violently, making the three of them alert. Ling Hao was the first to go to the porthole and look out. There was no sling coming down from above. It was obvious that it would not be possible to lift them up so fast. Just looking for two
A steel cable that is more than 100 meters long is not a simple matter. So needless to say who is ready to move, tentacles stretch out from the lake water, wrapping the decompression chamber like a cocoon, and the tips of the tentacles do not give up.
I tried every means to open this "iron can" at any crack, but it was impossible to succeed. The sealing requirements of the decompression chamber were so high, how could it be easily opened by an inferior creature?
Those tentacles became anxious and squirmed faster and faster, tightly wrapping the decompression chamber. "Boss, this guy seems to be trying to pull us underwater. It wants to explode the decompression chamber with water pressure."
"?" Tian Yong asked.
"It's a good idea. Only when it's three times its current size will there be any possibility. Don't worry about it, just let it go. It's useless." Ling Hao curled his lips and lay aside to rest.
"No, these tentacles are different from before. They are much thinner and gray in color." Xueting stared out the window and said suddenly.
Ling Hao pondered for a moment and said: "Eighty percent of it is because the ground pressure has dropped, and the protozoa are not adaptable to this environment. Maybe these so-called 'immortal protozoa' will die due to the drastic changes in their living environment."
As soon as Ling Hao finished speaking, all the tentacles seemed to have exhausted their strength, and they all limply released the decompression chamber. The "small island" appeared in front of everyone, just like a lung struggling to breathe.
, undulating violently, with a "pop" sound, a white jade coffin was sprayed out, and hit heavily on the inflatable floating cushion outside the decompression chamber, followed by the "Bronze Jian" was also sprayed out, just in time to buckle
On the top of the decompression chamber, it was as if this guy was deliberately using these things as projectiles to hit them. Ling Hao and the others began to panic. There was only a white jade coffin and a bronze mirror, and a larger white jade stone slab.
Well, if that thing hits the decompression chamber and there is even the slightest air leakage, the lives of the three of them will probably be doomed.
At this moment, a violent explosion sounded. Judging from the flames of the explosion, it was known that it was "nitrifying explosives". A thick steel cable slowly hung down with several hooks, and there were several giants hanging on it.
Big men, wearing desert camouflage, everyone was murderous, all foreigners. They jumped onto the decompression chamber, neatly hung the hooks on the steel cables around the decompression chamber, and then raised their hands to shoot a flare
, the mechanical winch above rotates, and the decompression chamber is lifted up and rises smoothly.
The "Andean Alonso Protozoa" didn't seem to want to give up. More than a dozen tentacles climbed up to the decompression chamber again. The big men took off the "shotgun" from their backs and shot at these tentacles at random. At close range,
The "shotgun" is an artifact of killing. Blood splattered and the tentacles were interrupted. Ling Hao and the others finally managed to escape from the desperate situation.
After ascending for more than ten minutes, the decompression cabin stumbled through the large hole that had been blasted, and finally returned to the "underground level". There were high-brightness lights everywhere, hovercrafts with cranes, and swamps.
Vehicles, aerodynamic boats and other machinery gathered around the area. Some people were welding huge steel plates, and others were controlling drones to load explosives on top of the rocks. It was a busy scene.
It looks like it's raining heavily outside, and water has begun to pour in here. A series of gurgling rivers are coming together. It is estimated that this place will become a lake again in less than a day.
On the communication screen, Annie looked at Ling Hao with a sullen look on her face, while the latter just smiled sarcastically.
"When you go out to do a mission, you don't have to take me with you. You don't even want to inform me. Are you afraid that I will hold you back and get in your way? If I hadn't saved you this time, you would have been treated as an unearthed cultural relic.
Come on!" Anne was unforgiving and spoke rudely.
"Anyway, I seriously underestimated the difficulties this time. I thought it was a very simple job. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to delay the company's new product launch. Fortunately, you didn't follow. If you were buried underneath,
Who else has the ability to rescue us? It can be seen that you are more suitable to strategize at the rear and provide support at critical moments." Ling Hao quibbled with a playful smile. "Don't be angry, you can scold me when you get back. The top priority now is to quickly rescue us.
The 'underground second floor' is completely sealed, and it's best to bury the 'underground first floor' as well, otherwise God knows what trouble will happen outside."
"You don't need to tell me this, we are going to evacuate right now." Annie rolled her eyes at him and terminated the call, leaving Ling Hao looking at the screen with an embarrassed look on his face.
