Clone Octopus

Chapter 9 Flat-chinned Sea Snakes
Toshiki Nomura and his group were equipped with extremely advanced equipment. Six underwater propellers were put into the sea, followed by six professional divers wearing diving equipment. They were divided into three groups according to the division of labor beforehand. Quickly launch an underwater search.

The underwater propeller is another great artifact in the diving world. It is like a torpedo, with a lithium-ion battery inside, a brushless electric motor and a low-noise propeller at the tail. The diver lies on the underwater propeller like riding a horse. Control the front and rear directions.

This fully automatic equipment solves the problem of divers swimming slowly underwater and can explore large areas in a short time. It also reduces the diver’s physical consumption and allows divers to carry more underwater equipment, which can be said to serve multiple purposes. , known as an underwater motorcycle by many divers.

shuh~
The three groups of people quickly dived into the deep sea, and then spread out. The deep-sea spotlights carried by the underwater thrusters illuminated the world under the sea surface.

Shen Rui thought about it and decided to find a place to hide first. The Nomura gang had advanced equipment. If they found Xiaoba and attacked him with weapons such as underwater high-speed harpoons, it would be bad.

The divers brought by Nomura are obviously of the technical school. What underwater metal detectors and thermal sensors went into battle together. It took less than ten minutes to discover the sunken ship, and then six people surrounded the ancient sunken ship. , carefully checked the front, back, left, and right.

Cargo ships are inserted bow-down on the seabed, and access to the hull is through the rear cabin.

Several divers summed up the water, and two of them took out a fully automatic underwater hydraulic jack, inserted it into the rear hatch, and started the motor.

The rapidly rotating motor continued to increase the pressure, and the originally sealed cabin began to deform, making a squeaking noise.

bang~
The structure of the hatch had long been corroded. Without much effort, the rusty hatch was broken by the support of the jack. The hatch shot up and hit an unlucky diver, causing him to faint on the spot. Several others A diver rushed to the rescue.

Shen Rui felt secretly refreshed, this group of RB people were professional, but unfortunately they were unlucky, they lost one of them before entering the wreck, and they had a nightmare start.

It seems that the diver who was hit by the hatch must not be able to continue deep water operations, so they had to arrange for a diver to send the injured back to the surface.

So a diver carried the injured guy on his back and slowly surfaced with the help of underwater push.

The reason why the rising speed is very slow is to overcome decompression symptoms. After a diver stays underwater for a period of time, if he rises too fast, the gas dissolved in the body will not be released in time, and small bubbles will form in the muscles and blood.

When learning to dive, the instructor will emphasize the importance of decompression time and time again. If decompression sickness occurs due to too fast ascent, the light one will have cardiovascular blockage, and the severe one will faint or even die!
After watching the two companions return to the surface, the remaining four divers began to arrange and discuss.

It was getting dark soon, and the night wind at sea was high and the waves were rough. They decided to seize the time and immediately entered the sunken ship to start their first search.

Salvaging a sunken ship has never been an easy task. The internal passages of the sunken ship are narrow, and the hatches are made of metal. Once rusted, it is difficult to open. In addition, due to its age, there is a lot of sediment inside the sunken ship and the water is turbid, making it difficult to salvage it. There are some dangerous fish hiding there.

So even if these RB people have opened the entrance to the sunken ship, it will take a lot of time and effort to explore the entire ship.

Shen Rui was not in a hurry at all. He decided to wait patiently for these RB people to return before taking any action. Let them clear the way for him first. As soon as they leave, Shen Rui will control Xiao Ba to enter the sunken ship and sweep it first. Besides.

For some reason, when the first diver entered the wreck, Shen Rui clearly felt that Xiao Ba was excited. Since the nervous systems of the two of them were connected to each other, Shen Rui was very aware of Xiao Ba's feelings, which seemed to be some kind of danger. natural reaction of the time.

I saw that three of the four RB divers entered the wreck, and the remaining one responded outside.

After a few minutes, the divers who stayed outside suddenly panicked. They first yelled something in the underwater communicator, and then grabbed the entrance and kept firing searchlights into the sunken ship.

After persisting for about 1 minute, the diver finally entered the wreck, presumably to help his companion.

The deep ocean became silent, and Shen Rui felt very puzzled, and he didn't know what happened in the sunken ship, which made the divers who stayed outside become so panicked.

According to the diving rules, someone must stay behind in the salvage operation, called a lookout. If there is no special incident, the lookout will never leave his post without authorization.

A few minutes later, the diver who sent the injured companion back to the surface just now also came back, drove the underwater thruster to the vicinity of the sunken ship, and got into the sunken ship without saying a word. Everyone has disappeared.

Shen Rui put 80.00% of his mental power on Xiaoba, leaving the remaining 20.00% for himself. At this moment, Shen Rui's body was still on the ship, so Shen Rui also knew what was happening on the ship.

In the crew lounge on the lower deck, Shen Rui could clearly hear Nomura and He Yang yelling on board, and there was also a Chinese-speaking stranger who seemed to be arguing with Lao Pan.

Nomura and the others have a total of nine people, six of them are divers, plus Nomura himself and the translator He Yang, only the ninth person Shen Rui has never seen before. Could it be that this mysterious ninth person is also Chinese! ?

The situation is a bit complicated. It is not known what happened in the sunken ship, which caused chaos on the ship.

Suddenly, even though Shen Rui was going to take back his spiritual power from Xiaoba and went to the deck to see what happened, the sunken ship in the distance suddenly shook violently, and then the ship tilted downward at several angles, raising the water below the sea. A piece of sand.

"It's fighting!? Should we go to the deck or the shipwreck?" Shen Rui was slightly taken aback, thinking in his heart.

Gritting his teeth, Ma San and Lao Pan on the boat are not vegetarians, and nothing can happen, but the accident in the sunken ship aroused Shen Rui's great curiosity, so he manipulated Xiao Ba, using his powerful tentacles to slam Step on the rocks under the sea.

shuh~
The black figure quickly approached the sunken ship, and came to the cabin that was squeezed open at the entrance. Xiaoba grabbed the cabin door with his tentacles, shrank his body, and crawled in silently.

I saw a mess in the channel of the ship, with mud and sand everywhere, and a corpse lying in the middle of the channel. Several water snakes were lying on the corpse and biting, their sharp teeth piercing the diving suit. As for the bitten person, at this moment I'm afraid he would have died of exasperation.

This is really a strange thing that happens every year, especially this year. Creatures like sea snakes breathe with their lungs. I have never heard of sea snakes that can go to such a deep sea. Could it be that they have mutated! ?

Without any time to think, Shen Rui, with quick eyes and quick hands, used Xiaoba's soft tentacles to grab a few water snakes in his hand, and then squeezed them hard!
click ~
Immediately, the water snake was crushed to pieces.

Then he slammed it against the walls on both sides, and several water snakes more than one meter long were smashed into a pulp.

Looking carefully at the body of the water snake, Shen Rui felt a chill behind him.

These are several flat-chinned sea snakes, also called thorny sea snakes, which are one of the most venomous sea snakes in the northern seas. They are usually light yellow in color and have obvious horizontal stripes on their bodies.
