Chapter 20 Between Disappointment and Fog For Tang Zhe
The X pool at night is already dark, and the moonlight is the only lighting object, not to mention under this dark water.
Xiao Chengqian and I dived downwards one by one, and the camera on our body also started working. The lighting provided by it and the lighting of the underwater flashlight in our hands made Xiao Chengqian and I have a clearer vision.
On the surface, the water on the lake is rippling and clear, but when we get underwater, through the light of the flashlight, we find that there are a lot of "dust" floating in the water. Is it because of the crater lake?
I have always been sorry for the geography, but I don’t know very clearly about these. The only thing I know is that the volcano under the lake is an active volcano, and the possibility of eruption is very high. In addition, the water in Tianchi is probably formed by rainwater, and it will flow out in any case, but there is no water inlet, but the water level has been maintained at the same level all year round, which is quite magical to think of, but these have nothing to do with my actions, and these puzzles can only be guessed by scientists.
As soon as we entered the water, Xiao Chengqian and I were extremely excited. After all, this pool was full of mystery and legend, and we were like we entered a brand new adventure world. But in fact, we dived under the lake for a while, and the pressure from the water made us unable to continue diving.
I cursed in my heart. Xiao Chengqian and I were wearing very professional diving suits, but they were already at their limit.
When I called the flashlight down, it was still dark and bottomless underwater, which meant that Xiao Chengqian and I were still a long way from diving!
This is completely different from our plan. I felt a little angry. I didn't believe that this group of people would not know the data of X Pool. Thinking of this, I made a gesture to Xiao Chengqian and then started to paddle upwards.
A few minutes later, Xiao Chengqian and I emerged from the water. I took off my oxygen inhaler and goggles, then wiped the water from my face, and gasped for a few breaths. The passage of physical strength under the water was not comparable to that on land.
Moreover, this time the dive was very boring. Apart from the dust floating in the dark water, there were also a few cold-water fish that swam by occasionally, and nothing was found.
In fact, on the way, Brother Chengxin told me some allusions about this pool. He told me that there were actually no living creatures in this pool before, because of the limitations of natural conditions, I didn’t understand it anyway.
I only remember Brother Chengxin said this. Later, a kind of cold-water fish appeared in the pond, which tasted very good. It was rumored that another country at the border was stocked here.
"I can't be sure whether it's free stock or a cover-up statement. Why should I raise some fish in this pond?" Brother Chengxin tilted his head, staring at Tao Bai and Lushan at that time.
But Tao Bai has always been dodging. Although the man in Lushan was taciturn, we later discovered that he was an old oil field. Faced with Brother Chengxin’s question, he also asked curiously: “Yes? Why did there suddenly be fish? It is said that it was stocked by other countries, and other countries would not jump out to justify this kind of thing?”
Then, Brother Chengxin was speechless. In fact, as a secret department, I was afraid that these things would be much clearer than us.
"Why are you coming up suddenly?" Xiao Chengqian gasped in my ear, and then asked strangely, after all, we didn't dive for long.
I looked at Xiao Chengqian and said, "I think we were fooled, or this place has long been forbidden. Maybe for other reasons, I will take us here to perfunctorily."
I judged this from the depth of the dive and Brother Chengxin's words, but now I don't have time to explain to Xiao Chengqian that the mountain that has been rafting on the water has discovered us and quickly rowed the boat to approach us.
The boat soon stopped beside us. Xiao Chengqian and I stretched out our hands. Lushan and Tao Bai naturally pulled us onto the boat. Tao Bai pulled me. What shocked me was that this guy looked shy and timid, but he was really strong. I almost didn't use any effort. He pulled me up alone. You know, I was carrying a heavy oxygen tube on my back.
When I arrived on the boat, even if the wind was blowing, I still felt much warmer than the one in the water. While wiping my wet hair with a towel, I took the warm ginger soup handed over by Lushan and fed myself a few sips.
Although Lu Shan is unable to understand his true thoughts, you cannot help but admit that this guy is considerate and considerate in details. He almost doesn't have to worry about anything. He will do everything for you.
"Why did you suddenly come up again? Have you noticed it?" Lu Shan said calmly and asked lightly, with a not-so-obvious and just-right concern on his face, which made him seem very sincere.
Facing such a person, I feel that all the emotions are written on my face, which is probably too dangerous. I also said calmly: "Go up and talk about it."
Lu Shan responded without asking much, and as for that shy Tao, don't expect him to say anything.
————————————————————————————————
We left the range of X Pool. Somewhere on XX Mountain, there was a so-called observation camp, which was also a secret stationing point on the border of the troops. We went there to rest tonight at Lushan’s suggestion. After all, it was not too far away.
In a warm barracks, I sat opposite the road.
I looked at him with a little oppression, but he looked at me very calmly, and then he said in a deep thought: "Your request, I'm sorry, it's really not within the scope of my power. What should you do?"
Behind me was the big guy who had already learned all my judgments while rushing to the road. At this moment, he looked at Lushan and didn't look too friendly. He deliberately concealed it, making us go for a waste of time with hope. No one would have a good face when facing this fact.
Especially Xiao Chengqian, he almost threatened Lushan, but was suppressed by me.
As soon as I got here, I was more straightforward and made my own requests to Lushan. I would like to explore X Pool again tomorrow, and this time I needed very professional diving equipment.
In the face of my request, Lushan refused so much.
"Ha" Xiao Chengqian sneered. It seemed that he was about to attack. No matter how harsh the struggle he organized was, this guy, after all, had been pampering for more than 20 years, and his temper was not ordinary, much like the one I was protected by my master many years ago.
The second-handed Chen Chengyi!
I stood up and pressed one hand on Xiao Chengqian's shoulder. Then Brother Chengxin stood up and spoke. In that era, it was very troublesome to collect some specific information, unlike the so-called search engines now. Moreover, we did not deliberately collect information in this regard, but instead focused our attention on the rumors. Everything else relied on the departments, which caused this passive situation. Brother Chengxin felt that he had the responsibility to solve this passive situation.
So, he stood up, pushed his glasses, and said to Tao Bai and Lushan: "I have no other meaning, I am just curious. Don't you know the depth of the X pool?"
Lu Shan glanced at Brother Chengxin and pondered. Tao Bai lowered his head again behind the road and replied timidly: "Actually, I know about it. The average depth is more than 200 meters, and the deepest place is more than 300 meters."
Tao Bo, who answered directly like this, looked a little stupid, but Lu Shan didn't stop him, obviously this could not be stopped.
"Since you know, why don't you remind us that with our existing diving equipment, it is impossible to carefully detect every corner of X Pool, and you can't even have a rough search?" Brother Chengxin walked over, put his hand on the table in front of Lushan, and looked forward at Lushan.
Lu Shan didn't say anything, while Brother Chengxin continued: "If I had known this result, or if you had any inconvenience, you could really speak out in a blunt way. Even if we were disappointed, we wouldn't blame you for anything. What does it mean to let us go for a waste?"
"If we stop you, will you be willing to do so and think there will be no conspiracy?" Lu Shan was still calm, even his tone of speaking was so calm.
Brother Chengxin shouted, then stood up straight, and said directly: "Then the wise man doesn't say anything secretly. Don't say you brought us this time just to make us give up. I'm afraid there are other purposes? If you don't provide all the equipment, what are the exchange conditions?"
Yes, this is the key to the problem. This matter matched the reason why Xiao Chengqian hurriedly stopped us at the beginning!
