Seven Hundred and Eighty Six Moving Forward in Silence

Liu Bin and the helping soldiers were not much better. They were also washed aside by the current and could not approach the hatch at all.

Ouyang Ping's quick hands and eyes caught Ye Han.

After Ye Han stood firm, he looked up at the narrow gap and wondered: "How much water pressure is this?" After saying that, he took the crowbar used for repairing the car in his hand, clenched it with both hands and stuffed it into the narrow gap. He tried to widen the gap so that the water could fill the armored vehicle faster, but even with such a simple action, it was always washed away by the water flow.

Ye Han was furious and said angrily: "I don't believe it yet, come here two people hug me, and someone else will come with me!"

Several soldiers came over immediately, two of them supported Ye Han, and two others held the crowbar with Ye Han. The three of them worked hard at the same time, and finally pried open the armor plate blocking the escape door. A large amount of muddy water was like a waterfall. As they rushed into the armored vehicle, the water level in the vehicle rose rapidly, and everyone was submerged underwater in the blink of an eye.

However, the hatch cover was still tightly fastened to the exit until mud and water filled the armored vehicle and the pressure on the upper and lower hatch was balanced. Ye Han finally moved the stubborn hatch cover.

Ye Han was anxious but didn't go out right away. He stuck his head out and looked around: "The water is too muddy. Pull one by one and don't fall behind, Liu Bin!"

"arrive!"

"You finish last."

"Yes!" Liu Bin agreed, immediately counted the number of people, and used ropes to connect everyone in a string. After everyone was strung together, he also strung himself up and shouted loudly.

Ye Han received the signal, grabbed the exit with both hands and jumped up: "I'll go out first, follow behind!"

The soldiers followed Ye Han and left the armored vehicle one by one. After they came out, they discovered that the visibility was even lower than everyone thought. Nothing could be seen clearly on the night vision device, and the visibility was only two meters when the headlights were turned on.

Liu Bin couldn't help but said: "Captain, where are we going?"

"Go higher." Ye Han said.

Liu Bin looked back and forth: "Which way is up?" The visibility was so low that he could hardly tell the direction, let alone the direction of the cave.

This time Ye Han's answer was faster: "Look at the pressure." He glanced at the pressure value on the sensor, and through simple conversion, he concluded that the current water depth at this location was about fifty meters.

With the protection of armor, fifty meters of water depth is not a problem at all, but the environment of the cave is too special. If you can't find an exit, let alone fifty meters, even five or ten meters can trap people to death. .

To be honest, even though Ye Han acted very calm and confident, in fact he didn't have any confidence in his heart. It's just that as a commander, the more times like this, the more he needs to be calm and composed. , otherwise the soldiers would be in chaos.

He has carefully thought about it. Flood pours from below like a fountain. If the aliens completely seal the cave, the flood will compress the air first. After the air pressure and water pressure are balanced, the water level will no longer rise. This process is not It would be too fast.

The situation just now is exactly the opposite, which is enough to show that the underground cave is not a closed environment. In other words, there must be a passage to the ground.

Regardless of whether he can find it or not, at least Ye Han now knows that there is indeed a road leading to the ground.

For the current plan, the only way to go up was to go all the way to the dark side. As for whether he could get out, Ye Han didn't dare to think about it.

Although he is the commander of this unit, but stripped of the military uniform, he is still an ordinary person, not an omnipotent superman. In the face of this difficult situation, the only way is to do everything in his power and obey fate.

Ye Han carefully checked the height, and after confirming the direction of the cave, he chose a direction based on intuition.

The resistance of the water was very high, the visibility was too low, and everyone was in a bunch. It was impossible to use propellers to move forward as usual, and we could only step on the ground and walk step by step.

Before settling down, Ye Han was worried that the compacted mud walls and floor would be softened by water. It wasn't until his feet landed that he realized that the ground was still extremely solid. He wanted to praise the quality of the cave dug by the aliens.

If the cave wall is softened by water,

A landslide will follow, and by then any way out will have to be blocked by the landslide.

Ye Han felt that even if the cave wall was still strong at the moment, there would definitely be problems after soaking for a long time. You cannot stay in a place of right and wrong for a long time, and the sooner you return to the ground, the better.

Thinking of this, Ye Han couldn't help but speed up his steps. In a short while, he walked more than a hundred meters, and the pressure value on the sensor dropped slightly.

Ye Han suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. The decrease in pressure value indicated that the depth was reduced. This direction was indeed uphill!

When the soldiers saw that the pressure was relieved, they all had some hope in their hearts. If they had not received strict training, some of them might have couldn't help cheering at this time.

Speaking of which, we have to talk about the training of the Marine Corps. Because the Marine Corps belongs to the Space Fleet, in addition to regular combat training, soldiers must also undergo strict environmental training.

The so-called environmental training is not only weightlessness and low-gravity training, but also various methods to deal with extreme environments. One of the inconspicuous sub-training is how to save oxygen in harsh environments.

If the Army conducted this kind of training, it would make people laugh out loud, but it is of extremely important practical significance to the Marine Corps and all soldiers performing missions in space.

For example, right now, all the team members following Ye Han stayed as calm as possible and didn't say a word of nonsense. This is because excitement and talking will increase oxygen consumption.

It’s never too late to cheer when you return to the ground.

The team struggled forward in silence. No one knew how far they had to go, and no one knew if they could escape.

Just as Ye Han was struggling to survive, the Djibouti base, the space fleet, Beidu and Washington were all in chaos. Satellites kept reporting the latest situation in Africa, but all the reports were bad news.

After all the troops entered the spider cave yesterday, the front lost contact with the rear. Beidu and Washington have been paying attention to the situation in Africa and asked the space fleet to report the progress of the mission as soon as possible.

Two troops did return to the ground at night and brought back some information from the spider cave, but the news brought back by these two teams was not progress at all, but only a little fur.

After dawn, the team that left the cave at night was preparing to enter the spider cave for the third time. Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the cave that was getting louder and louder. Before the American soldiers could figure out the situation, a strong stream of water suddenly gushed out of the spider cave. The strong water column flew hundreds of meters before landing. An armored vehicle blocking the entrance of the cave turned over several times under the impact of the water flow.

In the following minutes, more than 40 water spray points appeared within a radius of 100 kilometers.

Not only that, the satellite also found that the water level of Kidd Lake, located more than 500 kilometers east of Morrobida, had dropped significantly!
