Chen Han was responsible for operating the robotic arm, while Zhou Tong was responsible for observing the sonar.
At this moment, deep within the water dungeon, in a damp environment, lies a man with unkempt hair and beard in a dark cell.
The other person was weak and covered in wounds. He leaned against the wall, trying his best to support himself, but after several attempts, he still couldn't do it.
"I'm so hungry... Is anyone there? Can you give me something to eat?"
The man licked his parched lips. He hadn't eaten for three days and three nights. He didn't know if he had been abandoned; he just felt like he was the only person left in the entire water dungeon.
Then, he prepared to shout again at the top of his lungs.
Suddenly, the ear that was pressed against the wall heard a sound coming from the wall.
"Bang, bang bang, tearing..."
"Hmm? There's some noise?"
Upon hearing this, the man's face showed a hint of confusion. He tried his best to open his eyes, but it seemed that he no longer had the strength to move his eyelids.
His lips twitched slightly, and then he began to secretly guess what day it was. He had been locked up here for more than a month.
Has the space carrier flown away yet? Was my passport, which I hid underground, taken away?
Did my wife and children go to the space carrier?
The man's mind was in turmoil. He continued to lean against the wall, his breathing weak, like a dead man.
The sounds coming from the wall continued unabated.
After a long time, the man regained some strength, and his thoughts began to wander again.
"Hmm? I think I've heard this frequency before! Is this... Morse code?"
Thinking of this, the man immediately opened his eyes. He had been clinging to life here with the intention of competing, but he never expected to hear such a sound.
The instinct for survival reignited the little strength left in his body, and he leaned against the wall again, listening intently.
It was still that same rhythm of "bang, bang bang, tearing..."
"This...this is asking if there are any living people! Yes, that's it!"
Thinking about this, he began to speculate about the source of the voice.
"They're asking if there are any survivors inside, which means they're outside! That's right! They're outside the water dungeon!"
Then, the man wanted to tell the other party that he was still alive, but he had not eaten or drunk anything for three days, and had also suffered a lot of torture before, so he had no strength at all.
He opened his eyes as wide as he could and looked outside the cell.
In the cell next door, a fat man, just like himself, was slumped against the wall, completely powerless.
The fat man arrived a little earlier than him. It seemed that the other man was also imprisoned for betraying information, but he confessed more quickly during the interrogation, so his injuries were much less severe than his own.
So he coughed at the fat man, and the cough immediately made him feel as if his lungs were about to be coughed out, a tearing pain.
"Fatty, Fatty..."
He tried his best not to make a sound with his lungs. He didn't know how many ribs he had broken; he only knew that he could no longer breathe normally.
After shouting a few times, just as the man was about to give up, the fat man suddenly moved.
A look of joy immediately appeared in his eyes.
"Fatty... come here... I have something to tell you..."
The man's voice was faint, but it could still be heard clearly in the quiet cell.
The fat man turned to look at the man: "Lin Qi, don't waste your time! Just lie there! Don't even think about escaping! This is a water dungeon, nobody can get away!"
The man's name was Lin Qi, and he was the person Lu Yuan and his group were looking for.
Lin Qi took a few breaths and said again, "Did you hear that? The sound outside?"
The fat man nodded: "I heard that! So what? Maybe it's their pollution control boat cleaning up the pollution!"
But Lin Qi shook his head: "Have you ever heard of a cleaning boat stopping here for half an hour at a time? And rowing against the wall so rhythmically?"
The fat man was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"Come here! I have something to tell you. If you do it well, we might both be able to leave this place!"
A look of confusion flashed across the fat man's face after hearing Lin Qi's words.
However, he still moved his body steadily toward Lin Qi's direction.
However, after taking two steps, the fat man felt a wave of weakness in his stomach.
"I'm injured, so just say it here! I can hear you!"
Lin Qi nodded: "Okay! Listen to me, is there anything in your room that can make a sound?"
The fat man turned his head and looked at his room, only to find a pair of sandals with broken soles.
"This is all we have!"
Lin Qi smiled and said, "Don't hide it from me anymore. You've been hiding an iron spoon in your shoe. Take it out!"
Upon hearing this, the fat man was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected that even though he had hidden it so well, the other party could still find out. So, with a pleading look in his eyes, he said, "Brother Lin, for the sake of us being cellmates, could you please keep this a secret for me?"
