Chapter 248 Dive Operation

Everyone seemed to be used to Li Yinxing's style of speaking and acting, so they didn't say much.

"Ye Sheng, Aki, in the last two hours, make all preparations, rest, warm up... I don't want to receive requests from any of you to go to the toilet underwater."

Professor Manns said.

"clear."

"Am I following them?" Lu Mingfei asked. He wanted to confirm with his own eyes whether Baidi City was really a military factory built with alien technology.

"No, they are the advance team. You stay on the boat for now and wait until the detailed location of Bronze City is confirmed before launching into the water." Professor Mance looked serious. "In the plan, you are the strongest weapon to deal with the awakened dragons."

"And Li Yinxing. I really want to see the strength of the Li family's leader of the Seven Stars." Zhou Zhenlong said.

"To be honest, I'm not very adaptable to our style of mixing tomb robbers and immortal heroes," Li Yinxing weakly raised his hand, "Besides, you might as well rely on me to quickly bring a nuclear bomb over to make it safer. The bottom is bronze. With the Fire Lord's lair, the best I can do when I encounter this monarch is to give him a manicure."

"But this is the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and any armed attack will be regarded as a nuclear attack on the country." Zhou Zhenlong said seriously.

"But the power of a dragon king after its resurrection is no different from that of a nuclear strike," the lady surnamed Chen, who had been silent, finally spoke, "Historical records show that Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, is the most violent and hateful monarch. From the day he wakes up, he will release the forbidden word spirit 'Candle Dragon'."

"The Tunguska explosion of 1908 is very likely to be repeated here." Professor Mance first added a shocking fact, and then comforted, "Gentlemen and ladies, please don't be so... well, a few of you are worried. ?According to the inference of the professors in our college, Lord Norton will not hatch from the cocoon for at least ten years... Our first action at the moment is to first determine the location of the Bronze City and enter the city."

…

The storm was still raging, and the turbulent river surface was dark. Only the ship's lights of the Monyach were swaying on the water with the force of force ten.

"The Maritime Safety Administration of the Yangtze River Channel has warned that the wind force may reach level 12 tonight and the rainfall may approach 200 mm. If there are special circumstances, you can ask them to send helicopters for rescue."

Thelma came to report.

"No need, just use the rhetoric given to us by Orthodoxy," Professor Mann's tense expression relaxed slightly, "Cooperating with the local strong dragons can avoid a lot of trouble, and I don't know if they registered the Monyach." What is your identity?"

"The boat won't capsize, right?" Li Yinxing, who looks like a sports girl, asked holding the Han Bafang ancient sword.

"No, the Monyach is a tugboat on the surface, but it is actually a warship modified by the Equipment Department! If necessary, I will drive it into the resurrected Dragon King!"

Professor Manns seemed quite confident.

As soon as he finished speaking, several display screens in the captain's cab lit up green, and the underwater drilling rig's test data showed that the drill bit had drilled through the target crack.

"Ye Sheng, Yaji, make the final preparations. The cracks have been opened and the dive operation can begin at any time."

Professor Mance took a deep breath and informed his two main diving students.

"What happened in Greenland...can't happen again." He said silently in his heart.

"Understood, Professor."

Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki were outside the cabin in the wind and rain. They looked at the dark and fast river below. The thunder in the sky and the fleeting silvery white that lit up the world could not penetrate the darkness under the river.

People are born with a fear of dark and unknown things. Under the dark river surface sleeps the Dragon King's palace and tomb.

"Aki, have you read the tomb robbery novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?" Ye Sheng suddenly asked.

"No, I've only watched "A Dream of Red Mansions". What does it mean when a ghost blows out a lantern?" Jiude Yagide's eyes were still fixed on the dark river surface.

"There is a saying in the tomb robbing sect, which is called 'people light candles and ghosts blow out lamps', which means that when you enter an ancient tomb, you first light a candle. If the owner of the tomb does not let you in, he will blow out the lamp... You said the Dragon King would welcome you Shall we go to his house?"

"Then you want to secretly bring the candle down?" Shuode Aki became interested.

"How do you light a candle underwater?" Ye Sheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the fearful atmosphere was diluted a little, "Do you still remember that time..."

Before he could finish his words, Shutoku Aki covered his mouth with a resentful look: "According to our animation, if you continue to speak, it will be a flag. Don't think too much, we just need to trust each other."

Ye Sheng was helpless and made an OK gesture.

"calm down!"

Li Yinxing didn't know when he came up behind them and patted their shoulders, "There are actually only Pineapple House and Spongebob down there. After we go down, he will treat you to a delicious Crab Crab Burger... Isn't it relaxing to think about it this way?" A lot?"

The two of them had nothing to do with this quirky girl. Firstly, she had a special status and was a sharp sword for the orthodox side to compete with the S-class. Secondly, she had a good personality and was familiar with them. Thirdly, she knew that they were secretly in love. relation.

The Kassel Enforcement Department's discipline prohibits sexual relations between men and women who cooperate underwater, and claims that the accident losses in the Greenland Ice Sea were caused by someone who violated this discipline. The surviving man suffered a mental breakdown and became a madman - but no one knew What was the accident in the Greenland Ice Sea, who was the man, and what were the consequences.

If Professor Manns learns of this, he will definitely stop the operation immediately and replace one of them. However, no matter which one of the lovers is replaced, it is impossible for their partner to hand over their back to another stranger. People... The relationship between young lovers in love is stronger than the old professors imagined.

"The Emperor will protect you,"

Lu Mingfei walked forward in the heavy rain with a calm expression, "And my promise is always valid. When you encounter danger, you must first protect yourself and those around you."

"Emperor..."

Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki looked at each other. The news that Class S was a religious believer had already spread throughout Kassel. The "Emperor" was the god that the other party believed in.

"With your S-class words, we feel a lot more at ease." Shutoku Aki said with a chuckle.

The time for chatting did not last long. The Monyach pulled up the anchor and restarted the engine. It sailed against the turbulent river current and strong wind for nearly a hundred meters before dropping anchor and stopping——

This is to prepare for diving. Under such complex current conditions, it is difficult for divers to dive vertically to the crack. If the boat drives forward against the current for a longer distance, then divers can follow it. The water flow does not require much energy to dive to the designated location.

The two people in charge of the dive operation were doing final physical status checks, and the staff on the ship were fixing the communication lines and traction ropes for their diving suits. Even if something unexpected happened underwater, the high-power winch at the other end of the traction rope would not Can pull two people out from under the water.

"The flow of water in the crack channel and its own stability have been calculated by Norma. Under normal circumstances, the safety factor is 96%, which is quite excellent data... I wish you good luck."

On the designated dive deck, Ye Sheng and Shutoku Aki sat side by side, with their backs to the dark wind, rain and river water outside the ship. Professor Mance's voice sounded from the communication headset.

"Just treat it like normal diving training."

"Um."

The two held hands in the storm, and a flash of thunder turned the slippery deck pale. At this time, the two figures had disappeared, and the river outside the ship's side was not short of surging water.

"Start diving! Three meters... five meters... ten meters..."

"The situation is normal! The personnel's physical data are normal!"

"Ye Sheng, Yaji, I am Professor Mance..."

…

Professor Mance and his student assistant Selma began to engage in intense and busy monitoring and command work. Only Lu Mingfei and Li Yinxing were left in the storm outside the cabin.

"This kind of weather is perfect for curling up under the quilt at home and sleeping." Li Yinxing wiped the rain off his pretty face and suddenly let out a sigh.

Lu Mingfei remained silent, just staring at the dark river in a daze.

"What? Sages have time to think about life?"

Li Yinxing stared at Lu Mingfei's resolute and handsome profile, and his words became inappropriate again.

"Listen carefully." Lu Mingfei's expression gradually became cold, his eyes were filled with a thin layer of golden mist, and he glanced back and forth at the darkness beyond the ship's side where the lights could not shine.

"Listen?" Li Yinxing was stunned, but when he saw Lu Mingfei's expression, he also pricked up his ears and listened carefully. What he could hear in his ears were only the roar of heavy rain pouring into the river, the roar of the strong wind, and the thunder that shook his ears from time to time. , where else...

wrong.

The expression on Li Yinxing's pretty face changed. Although she was joking on the surface but not serious, she was actually top-notch. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been selected as the first of the Seven Stars... She really caught something in the noisy environment. Different sounds.

That was the sound of the speedboat's motor.

"Report Captain! Radar shows that multiple unidentified ships are rapidly approaching us!"

The first officer of the Monyach, who was monitoring the radar and weather conditions, discovered an anomaly and immediately reported it to Professor Manns.

"It's broken! It can't be the Marine Police who's here! Damn, didn't the Zhou family say they have a very hard relationship! It's over now, we are holding controlled knives... Oh no! Mine is a cultural relic! "

Li Yinxing was in a panic, as if he wanted to hide the ancient Han Bafang sword in his arms, but found that there was no place to hide it.

"You didn't listen carefully enough." Lu Mingfei said lightly, pulling out Jingyue from the scabbard.

The scabbard was made by Sergeant Alchemy. He had "the world as a furnace" and made this kind of thing just like kneading plasticine. "Be more careful."

Li Yinxing was silent, put away her panic expression, her eyes slowly closed, and when she opened them again, there were already a pair of dazzling golden eyes——

Although it is not a "golden ear", this state does bring all-round sensory enhancement to the mixed race. This time, Li Yinxing heard another thing hidden under the river and almost completely covered by the heaven and earth. sound.

It seemed like a baby was crying.
