Chapter 1021
The beam of the emergency light cut through the darkness, and he saw more and more debris.
Black iron sheets, white foam, and a piece of broken rope.
These fragments are scattered on the sand, like an intermittent signpost pointing to the deeper seabed.
The number on the depth gauge jumped to two hundred and thirty meters, and the water pressure had already caused the joints of the diving suit to creak.
Qi Mingyu's eardrums began to swell. He gritted his teeth, pressed the pressure relief valve on his helmet, and continued forward.
Suddenly, the emergency light beam illuminated a blurry shadow.
The shadow was much larger than the plastic bag before, lying quietly on the sand in front.
His heartbeat began to speed up and he swam slowly over.
As the distance gets closer, the outline of the shadow becomes clearer and clearer.
That was not a reef, but the shell of half a container!
There was a large dent in its side, and the iron sheet was twisted and curled up. There was nothing inside, only a few small fish swimming around in the wreckage.
Qi Mingyu swam around the wreckage of the container and found no trace of other containers or any remaining cargo.
He reached out and touched the twisted iron sheet, and felt a cold touch on his fingertips.
The black paint on the iron sheet has peeled off, revealing the rusty metal underneath.
It seems that only this container sank here, and the others may have been carried away by the ocean currents.
At this moment, the alarm in the helmet suddenly sounded.
Only 30 percent of the oxygen reserve remains.
"It's time to surface."
He took a last look at the dark seabed. Where the emergency light beam swept across, there was only endless sand and scattered debris.
But it's not completely without gain.
Qi Mingyu adjusted his direction and began to slowly ascend.
As the depth decreases, the light around gradually becomes brighter, from inky black to dark blue and then to light blue.
Just as the ascent speed stabilized, Qi Mingyu suddenly heard a faint rustling sound coming from above his head.
The sound penetrated the sea water with a sharp vibration, mixed with the friction of the joints of the diving suit and his own heartbeat, making it particularly harsh.
He looked up suddenly, and the beam of the emergency light swept upwards.
Suddenly, countless slender black shadows fell from the light blue sea that was gradually getting brighter.
Those dark shadows fell with a sharp momentum, like upside-down icicles, drawing a fleeting cold light in the beam of light.
"What is that?" Qi Mingyu's heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously moved his flippers sideways.
Just as he dodged, a black shadow as thick as an arm brushed past his shoulder armor.
A tiny tear was made in the outer fabric of the diving suit, and the cold sea water seeped in instantly.
He looked down and saw that the "black shadow" was actually a transparent ice spike!
Its tip was as sharp as a knife, and it remained straight after falling into the deep sea. Finally, it plunged into the sand below with a "bang", splashing a cloud of fine sand and dust.
Ice rain?!
As soon as this thought came to mind, more ice spikes fell like a torrential downpour.
They fall straight down from the sky above the sea, and when they penetrate the sea water at different depths, they make a crisp "crackling" sound due to the pressure change.
Several ice spikes brushed against his calves and waist, creating tiny cracks in the waterproof coating of his diving suit. The biting cold penetrated through the cracks, causing him to shiver.
Qi Mingyu's mind went blank in an instant, and was then filled with great panic.
The ice spikes come from the sky, but what about the cruise ships on the sea?
Wanwan, Mumu, parents and others are now exposed to the icy rain!
No, we must go up immediately!
Qi Mingyu no longer hesitated and suddenly increased his ascent speed.
The flippers swung vigorously and the body rushed upwards like an arrow.
But the higher you go, the denser the ice spikes become.
The light in the shallow sea area is brighter, and you can clearly see countless ice spikes falling like a rainstorm. Some are as long as one meter and as thick as a bowl in diameter. They fall so fiercely that they can directly pierce through the thick ship's planks.
