Chapter 8 The Beginning

The next morning, the superior came the news.

The order they issued was: enter the cave to investigate the internal situation within three days and report it in time.

Chen Hui seemed to have expected it. He sent someone to prepare diving equipment in advance, and there must be enough supplies.

However, Chen Hui certainly didn't plan to dive first, after all, it is also possible to enter the cave now.

It's just that some researchers have shown that they have made suitable equipment near the cave before and can directly enter the cave.

But later they discovered that whenever the tide came, anything they had built around the cave would be washed away by the tide.

The researchers have also entered the cave several times when there is no high tide, but after entering a certain depth, there will be a place like a waterfall in the cave, and they must pass through the waterfall.

As soon as they enter, they are washed away, and then they will emerge from the bottom of the sea from nowhere.

The researchers speculate that there should be multiple openings connected to the cave under the seabed, but they have not yet discovered it.

After listening to the researchers' suggestion, Chen Hui still planned to go directly down to try it out. Before he went to the edge of the cliff, he brought a black crystal with him, so let's call it a black crystal now.

Chen Hui had a guess in his mind, wondering if there would be any changes after the black crystal approached the cave again.

But the change was too great. The tide that shouldn't have risen at this time suddenly rose at this moment, and the entrance of the cave was submerged by seawater in less than a minute.

Chen Hui also saw a school of fish swimming towards the cave under the seabed. Although the seawater coming up was not very clear, the entrance of the cave could barely be seen clearly.

Chen Hui already made a decision in his heart that this black crystal must be brought with him. Just standing on the edge of the cliff, he clearly felt a wave of energy similar to the black crystal coming from the depths of the cave.

And this black crystal was dug out from the eye of the giant beast before he went back. Since there are the same energy fluctuations, it means that there are indeed monsters hidden in the depths of the cave.

The team members stood beside Chen Hui and observed the entrance of Haixia Cave. Everyone's face was more or less worried, but there was no sign of retreating.

"Go back today and prepare well. We will enter the cave tomorrow morning."

After a day of preparation, all the diving equipment has been prepared. There are seven people in the team, and each person has supplies on his body. However, in order to reduce the burden, the oxygen cylinders he carries are only enough to last about two hours underwater.

So they have to complete their tasks during this time period, and each of them is equipped with a positioning device, which can monitor their direction at any time.

Chen Hui was carrying black crystals on his body. As expected, the tide rose again. Under the sea, there were some fish roaming, and they were still attracted by the unknown objects in the cave.

Chen Hui put on professional and strengthened swimming goggles, he was ready, and everyone in the team was by his side.

"After going down, remember to follow the people around you closely."

After explaining the matter, Chen Hui was the first to jump into the water, and all the team members followed suit.

After Chen Hui waited for everyone to come down, he gestured to them, and then sank himself into the water.

After diving into the water, it seems like entering another world, quiet and mysterious.

Chen Hui and others groped and explored underwater, and slowly sank to the entrance of the cave. Chen Hui observed carefully and found that the aquatic plants at the entrance of the cave were indeed more prosperous than those in other places.

He was the first to dive into the cave, and his figure was gradually swallowed by the darkness. Su followed closely behind. The searchlights they carried were turned on. The cave entrance seemed large enough for two people to walk side by side, so they were divided into four teams.

Chen Hui and Su led the way, followed by Nie Xiaozhou, and the remaining four players were divided into two groups side by side.

The cave that had been dusty for a long time was illuminated inch by inch, and everywhere he went was rocks. Chen Hui felt something touching his shoulder, and turned his head to see that a group of small fish were swimming past him to the depths of the cave.

Su has been paying attention to Chen Hui, and seeing him stop, he hastily moved over to have a look. Seeing that Chen Hui shook his head to indicate that it was all right, they continued on their way.

The closed and oppressive environment made the team a little uneasy, and an unspeakable fear surrounded everyone's heart. No one could feel safe in this environment.

Nie Xiaozhou was knocking on the stone wall of the cave with a tool, Duan Yunlou was recording data, Du Xinsheng and Guo Zhi were assisting him, and Yu Sui silently followed behind everyone, as if he was cutting off their backs for them.

The team was sneaking slowly. Chen Hui looked down at the data on the device. It showed that they had only traveled about 20 meters. Unexpectedly, the cave was so deep. Chen Hui was not sure if they were going down.

The researchers mentioned to him before that there are actually several different forked holes after entering. They only entered one of them, and the rest have not had time to explore.

There was a faint blue light in the deep sea water. Chen Hui watched the monitor's screen showing that their altitude had dropped by about ten meters.

Chen Hui calmly controlled the screen again. Fortunately, the screen returned to normal after a few seconds, and a voice suddenly came from the intercom.

"Captain Chen, there was a sudden heavy rain by the seaside, and the sea surface was not very calm. We had to temporarily retreat to a safe area, but we will not leave. If there is any situation, please notify us."

All the team members heard the news and looked at the people around them in dismay. Even if they couldn't see their faces clearly, it was good to have someone by their side.

Chen Hui replied to the responders, and then checked the surrounding environment again.

A voice came from the intercom that communicated within the team, "Is it really raining? Why don't we feel anything here?"

This passage was asked by Duan Yunlou, and it is true. Everyone has this doubt in their hearts.

The water flow around them was very calm, there was nothing unusual, and no abnormal sounds could be heard.

"The higher authorities may not necessarily affect us here, everyone calm down, let's move on."

After Chen Hui finished speaking, he turned his head and sneaked into the depths of the cave. Su silently followed behind him, and other teammates also followed slowly.

Everyone carried searchlights and batteries, and their searchlights were the only light source in this area. Without lights, they couldn't see anything clearly.

Chen Hui had already made a decision in his mind, and he could feel the fluctuations of the black crystal becoming larger, which showed that they had not gone the wrong way.

Just as he was about to turn around and plan to say something to his teammates, a sudden torrent flooded in from the direction they came from!

Chen Hui only had time to grab the rope prepared in advance on Su's body before being rushed into the depths of the cave by the undercurrent.

Chen Hui only felt that his whole body was lifted up by something, the feeling of weightlessness almost broke through the limit of human physiology, he subconsciously grasped Su's body tightly, and the two hugged each other reluctantly.

Suddenly there was an accident, Su was just planning to take a step forward, but his team leader suddenly hugged him.

Su: Thank you for the gift of nature.

It took less than ten seconds for them to be washed away, and Chen Huiyou was secretly calculating that by the time the water flow finally calmed down, they had already been washed up on a dry boulder.

When they came to a new cave, Chen Hui took off all the equipment, turned on the new flashlight, and looked around calmly.

This cave was about the size of an ordinary bedroom, and it was closed with no exit. Chen Hui guessed that the place to enter and exit should be underwater, otherwise how could they have been washed here.

The flashlight shone on Su, but he didn't move.

Chen Hui was a little flustered, he pulled his legs out of the sea and went to Su's side, Su fell into a coma.

Chen Hui smelled a faint smell of blood, he touched Su's body up and down where he was injured, and finally touched the back of Su's head, it was bright red.

Chen Hui brought some basic medicines. He bit the flashlight in his mouth, and then began to disinfect Su's wound. The current medical environment is not good enough, so Chen Hui can only simply bandage Su.

Su must have bumped into a raised rock in the torrent, but Chen Hui himself was lucky and was not injured.

After a few minutes, Su woke up. He grabbed the person beside him and he was relieved only after recognizing that it was Chen Hui.

"Captain, where are the others?"

"I've sent a location to their electronic equipment and they'll come when they see it. The walkie-talkie is broken and it's not working now."

Chen Hui took a flashlight and shone into the new cave. It was also pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything. He could only hope that one of his teammates was still carrying a searchlight.

Su touched his head, it hurt a little, but it didn't affect his actions. He got up and wanted to help Chen Hui explore the new cave, but Chen Hui pulled him to sit down together.

The surrounding area was pitch black, and the two sat down against the rock wall, "It's 30 meters underwater now, and the oxygen is scarce. Let's not act rashly. Let's talk about it when everyone comes."

"Captain, do you think we will die here?"

Su checked their equipment just now, and the oxygen cylinders they prepared are gone. The only one left was the one they used when they first came in. It should be almost half used, but how could it be possible to go back with only this half bottle? , and they were rushed over by the undercurrent.

Although it was only a short ten seconds, the distance he rushed out should not be underestimated.

Chen Hui patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "It's okay, they will definitely find a way to save us, after all, only I know what will happen in the future, and I am the most important source of information in the hands of the country."

After being comforted, Su's mood improved, and Chen Hui suddenly remembered that Su was only about 20 years old, three years younger than him, and Su might also be a little scared.

Chen Hui hesitated, but still reached out and grabbed Su's arm, "It's okay."

Su smiled at Chen Hui in an environment where he couldn't see clearly, "I believe in you."

Su had other thoughts in his mind. In fact, it would be good to die here with the captain, but soon, Tang dismissed this idea. His captain must live.

They have to face the future together, none of them can die, Su recalled Chen Hui who had a nightmare that night.

Chen Hui couldn't go through the pain of losing his teammate for the second time. Thinking of this, Su's heart began to fill with strength.
