Chapter 957 The Underwater "Ghost"

The night sky in winter is darker and bluer against the white ground, the whole ground is covered by a thin layer of hoarfrost, and the bare tree trunks in the distance appear and disappear in a thin layer of mist.The night was quiet, as if everything had gone to sleep.No, there is still movement, isn't it? There are a few bobcats, or the lonely cry of wild wolves echoes throughout the mountain, as if swearing who is the master of the night.

Suddenly, a roar broke the tranquility of the night, and two black shadows were flying close to the ground one after the other.Although the terrain in the mountainous area is very undulating and steep, these two shadows are moving through the mountainous area very flexibly.And the height of the bird, which was a few meters higher than the treetop, caused many birds resting in the jungle to fly away.

"Attention everyone, we will arrive at the target area soon, and we will start to check the equipment now." A somewhat low voice came from the radio station that hadn't been played for a long time, and this voice was familiar to everyone, it was the voice of the black bear.That's right, because of his meritorious reminder, this mission fell on him, which made him and his team members very happy.But after receiving the combat mission, everyone's expressions turned serious.That's right, this task is very difficult, but seeing the envious expressions of other people next to them, they still gritted their teeth and took this task.Although their chief instructor and team leader repeatedly reminded them not to force themselves if they couldn't do it, the black bear still patted his chest and took it.

And the two black shadows before are actually two helicopters flying close to the ground, but these are not the Black Hawk helicopters they originally said they were equipped with, but they just took over, and it is said that they were developed by the chief instructor's company. A light helicopter.Compared with the Black Hawk, this light helicopter is very small and can only carry four to five special forces members and two crew members under full armor.And Black Bear's special operations team used two such light helicopters.

"Attention the Explosive Bear team, we will arrive at the airborne area soon, please get ready." The voice of the pilot came from the earphones.

"The Blasting Bear team received, Sparrow One, after you and Sparrow Two have completed the airborne mission, meet at the scheduled location. After our mission is completed, we will rush over to meet you immediately." Black Bear replied while supporting the headset.

"Received by Sparrow No. [-], Blast Bear Squad, I wish you good luck!" Said the pilot and gave a thumbs up to the back cabin, and the black bear gave back a thumbs up.

After the two helicopters rounded a sharp bend, their vision suddenly opened up.In front of them is a small lake. Although it is not big, there are still several square kilometers.I saw the two helicopters descending quickly, until the planes were only about one meter away from the lake before hovering, and the wind from the helicopter's fan blades quickly blew circles of ripples on the lake.

Seeing the pilot's signal, the black bear shouted to everyone: "Put on diving equipment."

Speaking of which, everyone began to quickly put on their thermal diving suits, and then checked each other.As for the black bear, after seeing that everyone has checked, he will quickly put on his diving goggles and respirator, and open the air valve.Then he signaled to everyone, and he jumped into the water first, and the other team members also jumped into the water after seeing this.The black bear that fell into the water and floated made a gesture to the pilot on the plane. The pilot understood and quickly flew away from the airborne area.As for the black bear, seeing the plane flying away, he motioned to everyone, and slowly sank into the water with everyone.

Although the surface of the lake has not frozen at this time, the water temperature is very low, especially in the middle of the night, and it is still at the bottom of the lake.The team members who dived to the bottom of the lake turned on a diving light, then took out two submersibles from their bags, and started them up.These two submersibles are also works of Western Industries. In fact, their principle is very simple, which is to use batteries to drive propellers equipped with electric motors to generate forward power.It's just that there are two technical difficulties here. One is the battery life, which is the storage capacity of the battery.The second is waterproof treatment, especially in deep water, where the huge water pressure will put a great test on the sealing of the submersible's shell.

After starting the two underwater propellers, the team members quickly divided into two teams, and the leading team member held the diving propeller to open the way and grasp the direction in front.The players behind grab the legs of the players in front and form a long line one by one. The last player slowly swings the fins on their feet to provide extra power for their team. .This kind of formation is summed up after training and exploration, because it can greatly reduce the resistance of the players moving underwater, and it can also allow the players behind to get a full rest.

The two teams marched slowly in the dark bottom of the lake, and the weak diving lights could only illuminate a distance of seven or eight meters at the bottom of the lake.Occasionally, a few small freshwater fish were interested in the light from the diving light and swam around in front of the light.After marching for about half an hour, the black bear in the queue stretched out his hand to signal, and the two marching teams stopped.The black bear took out a long tube similar to a periscope from his body, and slowly floated to the surface of the water.When it was about to reach the surface of the water, the black bear stretched out its long pipe, and saw a long black pipe erected on the surface of the lake. The curved mouth of the long pipe was slowly rotating, as if observing something.Suddenly, the nozzle pointed at a relatively independent building in the wilderness and stopped.After observing for a while, the black bear put away the portable periscope, and then sank to the bottom of the water again.The lake calmed down again, as if nothing had happened.

Back at the bottom, the black bear turned on the waterproof map under the light of the diving light.After determining their position, the two teams moved forward again.Soon, the two teams came to the edge of the lake, but the water quality of the lake in this place is not very good, and there are not even aquatic plants.The team members had no choice but to give up lurking underwater, and then slowly float up.After observing through the periscope to confirm safety, the team members showed their heads one after another.

As soon as they came out, everyone quickly took off their respirators to breathe fresh air.Although the air in the air tank is also strictly filtered, it is to ensure that the team members perform high-intensity underwater actions.So the air in the air tank is actually not real air, but mixed out.To put it simply, it is to increase the oxygen content, but control it within a certain range to prevent symptoms such as drunk oxygen or oxygen poisoning caused by long-term oxygen inhalation.Therefore, the treated air still has a somewhat peculiar smell. Everyone can get used to it, but they don't like it.It's just that after everyone took a breath of 'fresh air' outside, they all put on respirators in a hurry.
