This floor plan is not complete. The routes shown are all detected by the outpost, and the blocked passages are also included.However, the three passages leading to the mining area have been blocked by boulders, so that this plan can only be used as a reference, and the passages entering the mining area have to be re-explored.

Everyone studied the floor plan and found that after sneaking along the original passage for about 800 meters, there was an open land. Of course, this open land had been submerged by underground river water, forming a large lake.

The map shows that there are several passages around the open land, skip the blocked passages, and several other passages have been explored, but the end of these passages is a rock wall of unknown thickness, and it is impossible to move forward.

As for the other passages, the ends are not marked. However, the depth of the passage extends in all directions, and there are many forks. The area detected is only a small part. How deep are these passages and where do they lead?Not clearly marked on the map.

After some research, Ning Xiaofan and others found two passages to be selected. These two passages have no end, and most of the areas are displayed with shadows, indicating that they are areas that have not been explored. Fortunately, the direction they are going and the mining area Consistently, if the exit can be found, I believe that even if it deviates from the mining area, the distance will not be far away.

After discussing the route, Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi brought in a large wooden box, and at the same time, members of the prospecting team composed of foreigners also brought in a large wooden box.

The two prospecting teams were in the same prefabricated room. Perhaps because of the competition, the two sides did not communicate verbally, but only looked at each other in secret.And Aunt Xiang, as a beautiful woman, naturally has an extraordinary attraction. The eyes of several foreign men are always on Aunt Xiang's beautiful face, and the lust in their eyes cannot be concealed at all. .

Ning Xiaofan noticed the covetousness shown by those foreign men towards Aunt Xiang, and felt unwell for no reason, but this outpost belongs to a safe area, and the use of force is strictly prohibited. unhappy.

The large wooden box contains a complete set of diving equipment, including respirators, air cylinders, diving suits, frog feet, eye masks, etc., and everyone has a set.

Everyone received the diving equipment, first packed the backpack weapons and other things they carried with them in waterproof bags, and then vacuum compressed them, then entered the temporary changing room converted from a board room, and changed the diving equipment.

When everything was ready, Ning Xiaofan and Aunt Xiang walked towards the dark river under the guidance of a resident staff member.

Before going into the water, the staff member asked Ning Xiaofan and others if they could dive, and if anyone couldn't, they had to undergo simple diving training.

As a blasting expert, Ning Xiaofan has worked underwater and is no stranger to diving. Aunt Xiang has served in overseas mercenaries, and diving is a necessary subject. Naturally, there is no need for further training, which surprised Ning Xiaofan What's more, Fatty, Hou San, Zhang Chun, and Chen Biao, four inconspicuous guys, can also dive, which really impressed him.

In addition, Yang Hai can also dive, and the only ones who can't do it are Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi.

The staff immediately greeted Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi to the front, explained the breathing method of diving, precautions, etc., and finally, went into the water for a demonstration, and called Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi into the water to get used to it After a while, it took less than 20 minutes before and after, and the diving training was over.

Of course, this underground underground river is no worse than the sea, its hydrology and geography are not complicated, and there are no undercurrents or undercurrents, so it is not very dangerous. After this simple training, Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi can dive into the water. There is also a hand-held power booster, so there is no need to worry that the two of them will not be able to keep up with the team.

After Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi barely adapted to diving, at this time, the prospecting team composed of foreigners also came to the water's edge.This group of foreign men was located on the side of the channel that was flooded by water. It seemed that this group of foreign men knew how to dive. When they got to the water's edge, they went straight into the water and quickly disappeared.

Ning Xiaofan glanced over there, frowned and asked the staff member, "Excuse me, which route did those people take?"

The staff member replied: "The route they take is different from yours. There is only an underwater passage less than 20 meters long from here. There is an underwater monitor installed at the exit of the passage. They dare not mess around. There is only one passage, which is the open water area, and there are many passages under the water area, you only need to enter the pre-selected passage, and you don't have to worry about meeting them face to face."

Ning Xiaofan smiled noncommittally. He wasn't worried about meeting those guys underwater. As far as he was concerned, even if he met, he wouldn't be the winner. He just didn't want to cause trouble on the way to the exit of the mining area.

To be on the safe side, Ning Xiaofan planned to wait for a while, and let Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi get acquainted with diving skills by the way.

After waiting for a long time, Ning Xiaofan saw a faint flashlight entering the entrance of the outpost, and not far away, a staff member turned on the flashlight and shone towards the entrance of the passage. It is estimated that another prospecting team arrived up.

The new prospecting team was about to arrive, and Ning Xiaofan naturally didn't want to meet the team with unknown friends and enemies, so he decided not to wait any longer, and immediately called out to everyone to go into the water.

When they got down into the water, because there was still a distance from the entrance of the passage, Ning Xiaofan and others swam in their sleep for a while until they reached the entrance before diving down.

With his whole body submerged in the water, Ning Xiaofan turned on the overhead lights, and then started the underwater power booster. With the slight sound of the motor, Ning Xiaofan took the thruster and dived towards the passage first.

With the help of thrusters, you can move forward quickly just by maintaining your body balance. Even if everyone carries a lot of weight with them, they don't feel the slightest effort. Soon, everyone exited the passage one after another.

After the passage, the water area became wider and clearer. Ning Xiaofan looked around, and under the light of the overhead light, he could clearly see the scenery under the water area.At this time, Ning Xiaofan was surprised to see that there were many aquatic creatures in this water area. Swarms of small silver fish were wandering around, flickering together, and then scattered, and there were even large or small jellyfish-like fish. Plankton drifted not far away.

Looking up at the water, you can vaguely see the uneven dome, and even see many stalactites hanging upside down into the water, and these strange-shaped stalactites reflect colorful light under the light, making them magnificent and gorgeous , dazzling.

The underwater world is certainly beautiful, but, as Chen Li said, this wide area has been completely submerged by underground rivers, and there is no space for anyone to come out of the water to take a breath.

Ning Xiaofan and others were equipped with sea diving air cylinders. According to the water depth data detected by the staff of the outpost, the deepest water area reached 50 meters, and the entrance of the channel Ning Xiaofan chose was about 20 meters underwater. The influence of water depth and the influence of water depth, the oxygen supply of the air cylinder can last for about 2 hours.

Then, Ning Xiaofan and his party must find an exit within 2 hours, or find a place to stay.The timing can't be too accurate. After all, there are still two diving rookies in the team, Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi, so there must be at least 20 minutes left, otherwise the team will be completely wiped out.

Fortunately, Ning Xiaofan learned from Chen Li that although all the passages leading to the mining area were submerged by underground river water, there were still some places on higher ground in the passages, and it was not difficult to find a place to rest and breathe.It's just that it's not easy to find the exit. According to Chen Li, it's best to find the exit before the air cylinder is exhausted.

Entering this water area, Ning Xiaofan didn't dare to delay too much in the water, roughly identified the downward direction, and swam towards the pre-selected passage with the thruster.

Sneaking all the way, not long after, a rough rock wall appeared in front of him. After diving along the rock wall for a while, a dark cave came into view.

The diameter of the cave was about two meters. When Ning Xiaofan and his party arrived in front of the cave, they faintly felt a suction force coming from the entrance of the cave, and there seemed to be a subtle water overflowing around.

Feeling the suction and the water flow, Ning Xiaofan was a little happy. The suction means the direction of the water flow, which means that the cave is not blocked, but figured out.

Although it is not known whether this cave can lead to the mining area?But the channel chosen in advance should be the right one.

With the help of propellers, everyone entered in a file. The cave was deep and winding, and it was extremely dark. If you turned off the overhead lights, you would definitely be unable to see your fingers. Not only that, the water temperature in the cave was also much lower, and even the aquatic creatures could not be seen. trace.

After sneaking into this deep and dark water cave for more than half an hour, not only did this cave have many forks, but it also gave people a feeling of bottomlessness.

Moreover, Ning Xiaofan and the others had already dived to unexplored areas, and when there was a fork in the road, Ning Xiaofan and the others did not dare to change the route easily.You know, these fork roads lead in all directions, and there are fork roads in the fork roads. God knows where they lead?It can only be honestly determined that the main line of the cave is sneaking.

With the passage of time, most of the air cylinders carried by everyone have been consumed, and the exit still has not appeared. The cave still gives people a sense of endlessness. Not only that, too many side roads in the cave cause the water flow to disperse, so The feeling of suction and water flow is almost gone.

According to the speed of the propeller, it is estimated that it has penetrated into the cave for about tens of miles. Did it go the wrong way?Or is there no exit from this cave at all?

However, Ning Xiaofan knew in his heart that anxiety would not have any effect, and anxiety would only cause shortness of breath. In this way, the consumption rate of the air cylinder would increase sharply.
