Chapter 934 Diving Bell
"This car looks like an old antique in a museum." George curled his lips and said, reaching out and wiping a handful of thick dust from the roof of the car. The dust even contained a lot of radioactive material. Fine particles of pollution.
"Are you sure you found the right one? I think this car has been parked here for a long time. Maybe the cars we are looking for are somewhere else-"
Before George could finish speaking, Qi Lin had already opened the car door and inserted the prepared key into the keyhole under the steering wheel.
The dashboard of the off-road vehicle all lit up. When George saw this scene, he naturally shut his mouth.
"One person per car, drive back to the temporary base, rest for five minutes, and then head towards the coastline." Qi Lin threw the other two keys to George and 0592 and said.
The so-called five-minute rest was actually only enough for everyone to roughly check their equipment. Not long after, they embarked on their journey eastward again.
The Chukotka Peninsula is located in the Far East of Russia, the easternmost part of Siberia. It is dominated by mountains and tundra landforms and is sparsely populated. In the old days, there were less than 100,000 residents in this land of more than 700,000 square kilometers. Most of the population is concentrated in the port city of "Anadyr", the capital of the Chukotka Autonomous Region.
In addition to the aborigines of the Chukotka Peninsula, there are two other forces here.
Koreans and Japanese.
Due to the nuclear war, the entire Goryeo Peninsula was turned into a scorched earth. Every inch of land contained extremely strong radiation, which could not provide a reason for human survival at all - and due to some historical reasons, there are no areas like the North Goryeo Peninsula. Other countries built a large number of nuclear-proof shelters, so a large number of war refugees had to go all the way north and seek asylum in China and Russia.
As for the Japanese, they are even worse than the Koreans - the geology of Japan's Honshu Island is already very unstable. In the old days, experts often predicted that the entire Honshu Island would sink to the bottom of the sea in a few years, and similar science fiction movies , disaster movies are emerging one after another... However, in the middle of this war... Honshu Island really sank...
If the Koreans can still hope to return to their homeland after hundreds of years, then the Japanese people have really lost their homeland...
Fortunately, those large Japanese consortiums were more foresighted and had already purchased large tracts of land in the Far East from the Russian government before the war broke out. Since there were no minerals in the purchased areas, these barren lands were sold at extremely high prices. It is cheap, and these places have naturally become base camps for hosting Japanese refugees.
In the "Wasteland Survival Code", the Far East has always been an area where the Russians, Koreans, and Japanese are constantly fighting for each other... However, after the emergence of the Kuroshio, the situation has changed dramatically, and the three parties can no longer They no longer cared about fighting each other, and focused their main efforts on resisting the black tide. However, Qi Lin left the virtual game world after that, and he was not sure what happened on the permafrost tundra. Clear.
But a game is a game after all. In reality, the actual population of the Chukotka region is still far beyond the level in the game. The Japanese and Koreans dug out a large number of shelters in the hard frozen soil, and now these The refuges have all been included in the sphere of influence by the Revolutionary Alliance.
While driving, Qi Lin glanced at the tablet fixed above the windshield from the corner of his eye from time to time. Displayed on the screen of the tablet was a dynamic map. This map not only showed the specific locations of the shelters, , the territory of mutant creatures such as frozen soil rockworms, etc. are all marked, and even the orbit of the satellite above the head and the time of satellite passing can be found. With the help of this information, the team can easily avoid all possibilities Will encounter trouble, all the way to the seaside.
The thick rubber tires quickly ran over the dry moss and fine pebbles covered with white frost. Ayakui sat in the passenger seat bored and sucked a drop of water the size of a pigeon egg from the bottle with her mind control. Come out and change into various shapes in mid-air.
Lin Que and Aken were sitting in the back seat. The former kept boasting all kinds of awesome things to Aken in Chinese, while the latter ignored him and just took apart a mechanical crossbow back and forth. Pretend.
"Aken, is your hometown on the prairie of Congo?" Qi Lin asked Aken in English while driving.
"No." Aken raised his head, shook his head and said, "Our tribe has its own town. We do not live on the prairie."
As the information said, Aken's English level is really not very good, but at least Qi Lin can understand it.
After all, in the mercenary group, there were many mercenaries with various accents from all over the world, and Qi Lin even learned some indigenous languages that are rarely spoken in the world from them.
"Then how did you get involved in the war? Were you forced to participate?"
"No, I was not forced...money, I did it for money." Aken's thick lips wriggled slightly, as if there was something else he wanted to say, but he did not say it in the end.
"Money is a good thing. Aren't we just working hard to make big money?" Lin Que said with a smile. Although his English was not very good, he still knew the word "money".
"Yeah...money is a good thing..." Qi Lin sighed with emotion, turned the steering wheel slightly, and avoided a raised stone directly in front of him.
To be honest, he has always been a little confused. What did he think he was fighting for...for money? Or just to survive?
Everyone is a chess piece. Some people are crucial kings who can affect the outcome of the entire chess game. Some people are rampaging castles and knights with errant swords... Of course, most people are just insignificant pawns. The kind of little pawn that is likely to fail to make a move after a game of chess is played, the kind of little pawn that is insignificant even if it is eaten by the opponent at the beginning...
What kind of chess piece are you?
He doesn't know... all he can do now is just take one step after another step by step - just like the pawn who keeps walking towards the bottom of the chessboard.
…
The pawn can be promoted in the end, but what about you?
…
…
Finally, at close to eight o'clock in the evening, the three off-road vehicles finally arrived at the Bering Sea.
This is an abandoned old-time fishing pier. Since there is no lighting equipment, the collapsed houses look like a strange cemetery in the dark, and the cement piers on the shore used to tie the boats are just like these. Grave tombstone.
In the center of the pier is a half-broken lighthouse. The parts of the diving bell are packed in dozens of boxes and hidden among the ruins of the lighthouse.
Qi Lin directed the team to take out the parts and assemble it into a large diving bell that could accommodate more than ten people. It was a fully enclosed diving bell with sixteen large suction cups at the bottom and a firmly attached It is adsorbed on the rocks on the seabed, and the diving bell is surrounded by self-powered propellers, which can directly press the hollow diving bell into the seawater without adding weights.
There are two small boats on the pier. The two small boats are fixed with a metal beam in the middle. There is also a large winch on the beam, which is used to hang the diving bell.
Hanging the diving bell on the beam, Qi Lin used his eagle eyes to take a final look at the dark sea surface. Then with a wave of his hand, the two small boats quietly sailed out of the pier carrying the diving bell.
"Turn left twenty-five degrees and continue forward eighty meters... OK, stop." The engine of the boat was turned off, the anchor was thrown down, and the two-jump boat was fixed on the sea more than ten kilometers away from the land. above.
This is directly above the undersea prison where Qin is imprisoned. The electromagnetic interference here is extremely strong. Not only is the communication between Qi Lin and the mastermind interrupted again, but even the short-distance radio communications between team members are greatly affected. interference.
Two Harveys men were left to guard the boat, while the others got into the diving bell. With the rotation of the winch and propeller blades, the diving bell slowly sank toward the bottom of the sea...
Everyone clung to the inner wall of the diving bell, observing the outside scene through the transparent glass portholes - as the sea between the two super military powers, Russia and the United States, and also the throat of the Arctic Circle, Many large-scale naval battles broke out in the Bering Strait, and the wreckage of countless warships sank to the bottom of the sea, forming a spectacular warship cemetery.
"Look...it's the Nimitz..."
George pointed to the wreckage of an aircraft carrier several hundred meters long in the distance and said that although a large amount of seaweed and parasites had been attached to the ship's side, the hull number "CVN68" could still be vaguely seen. This nuclear-powered aircraft carrier could be said to be It was one of the most famous aircraft carriers in the United States in the old era, but it sank in this sea area.
In addition to the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, there are many other nuclear-powered warships sunk here. The nuclear fuel leaked from the interior of these warships plus the nuclear warheads that fell into the sea and exploded. The radiation pollution in this sea area can be said to be very serious. Although there is no Victoria Bay is so exaggerated, but almost every fish that has come into view has undergone huge mutations.
"It would be great if I had radiation immunity. That mutated grouper looks delicious..." Lin Que lay on the porthole, staring at a two-meter-long fish that swam past in front of the diving bell. Big Fish said.
Although he was still joking, it could be seen from Lin Que's tense face that this guy was actually extremely nervous at the moment - after all, according to the plan, he would be separated from other people after entering the prison. Use the "bone shrinking skill" to enter the cell where Qin is held from the ventilation duct.
It is impossible to say that I am not nervous when I am acting alone in such a dangerous place. However, Lin Que was a veteran after all. He used this last moment to constantly adjust his breathing, try to calm down the tension in his heart, and focus on the task itself as much as possible.
"There's no need to be nervous. You won't encounter guards on that route. It's much safer than us." Harveys also noticed Lin Que's state and patted his arm to comfort him.
"I know, I know... How can I be nervous... What nonsense..." Lin Que said with some disdain, and rubbed his face hard until it turned red, in order to cover up his original appearance. His face looked a little pale.
"Ready to work."
Qi Lin glanced at the depth gauge inside the diving bell and whispered to everyone - with a muffled "boom" sound, the diving bell finally touched the bottom of the sea, and the sixteen large suction cups at the bottom sucked tightly. On top of the rock formations on the seabed.
The bottom of the diving bell was opened, and the seawater was pushed away under the action of air pressure, exposing the rocks on the seabed.
The acid etching agent was sprayed onto the rock, accompanied by a large amount of foam and pungent smell. The seemingly hard rock soon became fragile and collapsed bit by bit.
In less than half an hour, a channel one meter square and more than ten meters deep appeared at the bottom of the diving bell.
At the bottom of the passage, a layer of metal was exposed - this was the horizontal passage that connected the prison entrance and the jailer's duty room mentioned in the combat meeting.
He used a silent laser knife to punch a small hole in the metal wall. Qi Lin first extended a miniature camera through the small hole. After making sure that no patrolling guards were passing by directly below, Qi Lin straightened the metal wall under his feet. The pieces were cut off.
Using the rope to slide into the passage, Qi Lin glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner. In the meantime, the indicator light next to the camera had changed from "normal working" green to "failure" orange. Qi Lin knew that the mastermind had already Hacked into the main control system of the underwater prison,
The countdown to this rescue operation has officially started from now on.
Two jailors walked over from the corner of the passage, but before they could react, Qi Lin had already pulled the trigger. With two soft "Puff" sounds, the two men's figures suddenly froze. , and then fell towards the ground——
Just when the corpses of the two jailers were about to hit the floor, an invisible force suddenly supported the corpses, and then gently moved the corpses to an inconspicuous corner.
Qi Lin looked back, and sure enough, Ling Kui had already descended into the horizontal passage. It was Ling Kui who had just used her mind to grab the two corpses, making the movement of the assassination so small that it was almost negligible.
One after another, the team members in the diving bell slid down the rope. According to the previous tactical allocation, everyone immediately occupied the important corners in the passage and held all the jailers with guns with silencers. A hole that might come through.
"Lin Que, have you seen the air vent with barbed wire on the opposite wall? You go in here and I will help you put the barbed wire back on and then eliminate the traces. If you can reach the cell first, remember not to act rashly and wait patiently. Our signal.”
"I know." Lin Que nodded stiffly.
