Chapter 289: Major Discoveries

Zi Yang led Lao Wang and others to the deep pool. When they were about to reach the shore, they saw a burst of bubbles suddenly appearing on the water surface, and a black object floated up from the bottom of the water.

"Oh, monster!" Lao Wang turned around and ran back in fear.

Zi Yang's heart sank, but he did not stop, but slowly walked towards the shore.

The black object became larger and larger. When it finally surfaced, Zi Yang almost exclaimed. This black object was a man wearing a nanocloth. When he saw the concave and convex figure of "it", Zi Yang understood - Su Rui secretly grounded into the water alone.

Zi Yang was both surprised and happy. He didn't bother to take off his shoes and socks, wade in, and took the two oxygen cylinders from Su Rui's hand.

Su Rui reached out to take off his mask, and an excited expression on his face: "Underwater, there is really a palace underwater."

"Slowly say, slower, you can breathe evenly first." Zi Yang said with heartache. He saw Su Rui's face pale, worried that something would happen to her floating too quickly.

Jin Guoqiang also ran over and asked with concern: "Does your health matter? What's the situation below?"

Su Rui shook his head and said, "I, I'm fine. I found two air bottles and a respirator below. I, I'm afraid you're worried. No, I didn't check it carefully, and I'm back."

Zi Yang and Jin Guoqiang helped Su Rui ashore, and Brother Xiaosha and Wang Juan came over. Lao Wang found that Su Rui was not a monster who came ashore, so he turned around and came back embarrassedly.

"Su, Su Rui, if you want to go into the water, you won't tell everyone. You just sneaked away, making me so bloody that they scolded me." Lao Wang said aggrievedly.

"Say a few words, you have any reason to do something wrong?" Xiaoli gave him a blank look.

"Let's talk about it first, Lao Wang, come and move things!" Zi Yang said.

He felt that Su Rui's body in his hand was still trembling slightly, and he was shaking and unable to stand firmly when walking. He knew that this deep dive back and forth made her exhausted her physical strength. More importantly, he was worried that Su Rui's desperate efforts would leave permanent damage to her body.

"Put down that thing and let me do it!" In order to make up for the mistakes, Lao Wang snatched two heavy air bottles without saying a word, carried one on one shoulder, and walked towards the camp like an enclave.

"Su Rui, are you okay? Why don't you leave without saying a word..." Brother Xiaosha asked worriedly when he looked at Su Rui, completely forgot that he ran away without saying a word yesterday.

"Fortunately, I'm a little tired, I'll just take a rest." Su Rui replied with a tired smile from Brother Xiaosha.

Everyone surrounded Su Rui and returned to the camp. Lao Wang was busy boiling water to prepare breakfast.

Zi Yang put a blanket on Su Rui. The deep water was very cold. Although she was wearing a nanocloth, Su Rui's hands were still cold and her lips were bloodless.

Jin Guoqiang led the Sharma to the straw hut outside, tied it with the mule, and returned to look at Su Rui.

After drinking a cup of hot water, Su Rui said slowly: "After diving to the bottom of the water, I entered the water channel again, passed through the underwater cavity, and went forward about thirty meters deep. Another cavity appeared in front of me, where I found this respirator and an air bottle.

With this air bottle, I can continue to explore. What surprised me was that this waterway seemed to be moving upwards slantedly, and I could see more and more traces of manual excavation inside.

After moving a distance in the waterway, I entered a very wide pool. After floating out of the water, I found a flat land on the pool, which seemed to be a huge natural cave. There I discovered the outpost of the exploration team, and some strange things…”

"Strange, something strange?" Zi Yang repeated, looking at each other with Jin Guoqiang. They thought of those cruel "gray shadows".

Su Rui took a sip of water and continued, "I don't know how to describe what I saw. The lights in the diving suit were dim at that time. I could only vaguely see that the cave was very huge and had been artificially transformed. There seemed to be a palace-like building in the distance, and there were a large number of murals on the walls."

"Palace, mural?" Lao Wang was coming over with a cup of hot soup when he heard Su Rui say something, "Is this really an ancient tomb below? Then, are we going to publish it again? Are there many treasures inside?"

Su Rui took the cup and smiled and said, "I didn't pay attention to this. What I pay more attention to is the historical and cultural meanings represented by these murals."

Su Rui turned to Zi Yang and said, "You have a good study of historical allusions. I think you should go down and take a look. Maybe you can interpret some important information."

Zi Yang nodded heavily. It seemed that it was inevitable that he would go into the water this time. The underground palace that Su Rui discovered may be closely related to the twelve chapters of starry sky map in his hand.

"Just, are we going to do it?" Zi Yang asked hesitantly, thinking to himself that underwater is so dangerous, even if it goes down, he has to get a few more helpers...

Su Rui said: "I brought back two air bottles and a set of respirators. This time we can go down three people at the same time - in theory, I can find a few more submersibles to come back, but the distance from here to the underground palace is too far, so I can't stand it if I dive back and forth like this."

Zi Yang nodded, "You can't let you go into the water alone. This time we will act together - besides you and me, we need another help. Does anyone volunteer?" Zi Yang's eyes swept across Jin Guoqiang, Lao Wang and others one by one.

"I'll go with you." Jin Guoqiang said: "I have received diving training and have experience in this area."

"As long, you guys go down, I'll protect everyone here! Don't worry!" Lao Wang said, patting his chest.

Su Rui didn't say anything, but just looked at Zi Yang silently.

Zi Yang understood the meaning of Su Rui's eyes. Jin Guoqiang could not go. He had to leave a reliable person on the ground to take charge of the overall situation. Jin Guoqiang was the only one who could shock the scene.

Although Lao Wang took the initiative to stand up and take responsibility, he had no overall view - especially considering his dereliction of duty while on duty in the early morning, he could not leave this place to him.

"Old Wang, come down with us and the captain stays for the house!" Zi Yang ordered. Since this person was so unconscious, he had to say it clearly.

"What? What does it mean? Why do you let me go?" Old Wang said with a frown and glaring.

"Didn't you always brag about your beauty? It's said that you have to be a champion in the school?" Zi Yang looked at him aggressively.

"Then, is that different? - I, I'm mainly afraid of the dark." Lao Wang kept retreating under Zi Yang's pressing.

"Do you still want to catch the treasure? We agreed this time that whoever gets it will be." Zi Yang knew Lao Wang's donkey nature, and when he used this killer move, Lao Wang really obediently gave in.

"Okay, since the task is so arduous, I, Lao Wang, can only take on the heavy burden - Xiao Su, I can't wear your torn clothes, you can teach me how to dive with that set of respirators later."

In the underwater abyss of Lop Nur, Lao Wang tried to wear nanocloths, but his figure was too strong and he couldn't wear it, which left a considerable psychological shadow on him.

Su Rui nodded: "Don't worry, this is very simple. The respirator they led by their exploration team is very advanced. I will teach you a few simple steps, which is very safe. I'll take you to adapt in the water later."

Jin Guoqiang quickly said, "I'll teach him, you can hurry up and take a rest."

Su Rui looked at Jin Guoqiang nodded gratefully. She was indeed a little tired.

Next, everyone hurriedly finished breakfast, Xiaoli lie down for Su Rui, and Jin Guoqiang took Lao Wang to practice diving with a diving suit and an oxygen bottle.

After Zi Yang went to the straw hut to chat with Sharma for a while, he also ran to the water to watch Lao Wang "drink water".

What he didn't expect was that after only practicing for more than half an hour, Lao Wang had already mastered the trick. He was able to play at the bottom of the water with ease, which was much better than his busyness at the beginning.

Zi Yang had to sigh that although Lao Wang is not very good at brain, his movement cells are really developed.

After practicing for another half an hour, Jin Guoqiang nodded and gave Lao Wang a thumbs up.

You can become a disciple!

Old Wang walked back to the shore with a mighty look, took off his diving suit and showed Zi Yang his white fat body, "How about Lao Li? Didn't this kung fu scare you?"

"Tsk!" Zi Yang curled his lips disdainfully.

Lao Wang boasted: "I am a sporting athlete in the three aerial service in the sky and ground water. You only know that I am fighting on the ground, but I didn't expect that my underwater skills are also very good, right? Hehe, my title of "Little Silver Dragon in the Waves" is not in vain!"

"When did you give yourself such a disgusting nickname? You are still a little yin dragon, I think you are almost the same as a little yin insect!"

Zi Yang didn't know why Lao Wang always gave such inexplicable names to "insult" himself. First, Wang Jian (silly) and Chun (silly), but now he is a little x-long. It's really terrible to be uneducated.

Jin Guoqiang patted Lao Wang on the shoulder and warned him: "Using scuba deep diving is different from ordinary diving. Don't hold your breath underwater. When floating, you must decompress at a specific depth - Su Rui will instruct you to do specific things, and follow the steps and there will be no problem."

Lao Wang nodded and said indifferently: "Oh, it doesn't matter that you are a sports genius who needs to explain, I understand with just one look."

"Don't take it seriously. If you get diving, your life will be over." Jin Guoqiang said seriously.

Zi Yang looked up at the sky. It was getting late. Since Lao Wang had mastered the key points of diving, everything was ready. They could continue to go into the water just by waiting for Su Rui to rest.

"Captain, after we go down, we will leave this place to you. I will remind Xiao Hei to cooperate with your work." Zi Yang said to Jin Guoqiang.

Jin Guoqiang nodded: "You should be careful when you go down this time. If the situation is wrong, please withdraw immediately. I will not be able to help you after going into the water - just in case, bring your weapons this time."

Jin Guoqiang, the guns and dog-legged scimitars seized from the Balma and the others yesterday, were all put away and kept in a unified manner. Lao Wang begged him several times, but Jin Guoqiang refused to show him a look. Hearing that there were swords and guns in this expedition, Lao Wang whistled excitedly.

"What are you waiting for? Let's call Su Rui to leave?" Lao Wang couldn't wait.

"There is another thing. The relationship between Ye Zhiqiu and Wang Yangming. Captain, you can ask him if you have the chance... If it really doesn't work, you can also have some tough ones." Zi Yang blinked maliciously.

Jin Guoqiang smiled: "I know - by the way, Zi Yang, have you ever thought about how this matter will end?"

Zi Yang was stunned and thought that whether he could come back alive was a question, but he could not think so much about it.

"What do you mean?" Zi Yang asked tentatively. The matters of Qinhan Village, Jin Guoqiang's affairs, Wang Juan's affairs, Wang Yangming's affairs, Professor Zhang's affairs, and the matters of the twelve chapters of star maps, alas! It's all in my heart.
Chapter completed!
