The next morning, Jock dragged a huge suitcase and followed Lu Yuan to the upper floor.
Chen Han was still the one piloting the submarine this time. When he saw the solemn expression on Lu Yuan's face, he asked a question in a low voice.
"Has Lin Qi woken up yet?"
Lu Yuan nodded gently: "Yes, Lin Qi has woken up now, but his condition is not very good. He is still receiving conservative treatment in the hospital."
"Oh, I see. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Lu Yuan turned to look at Chen Han, and saw a hint of expectation in her eyes, an expectation devoid of any emotion.
"You don't need to do anything for now. You just need to operate your submarine well and assist us with our work. We'll handle the rest ourselves!"
When Chen Han heard Lu Yuan use the word "we," a bitter look appeared on his face. He had actually realized a long time ago that he and Lu Yuan were not on the same path at all.
Lu Yuan has now become the leader who controls the hearts and minds of the entire region, while I am like a prisoner. It seems that Lu Yuan has not yet accepted me.
He felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, but he didn't say anything more, only nodding slightly.
After giving instructions to the group, Jock checked their equipment. A few minutes later, Jock nodded to Lu Yuan.
"Okay, everything has been checked, so let's get ready to go into the water!"
So everyone stepped into the submarine. The moment they stepped through the hatch, they felt a significant increase in psychological pressure.
Jock sat in the cockpit with a tense expression on his face. He had never encountered this situation before. Even when he and Lu Yuan worked together to unlock the door and rescue the children in the Long Group building, he had never been this nervous. But this time, he was really nervous.
As the submarine slowly sank, the surrounding light began to dim. Chen Han gently pressed a button, and the lights around the submarine immediately turned on.
When the submarine finally reached the underwater surface, Chen Han nodded to Lu Yuan.
"You can go down now, I'll go with you!"
Lu Yuan turned to look at the other person: "No need, you just stay here and guard the submarine, we'll take care of the rest!"
Chen Han could only nod helplessly, then watched as the group slowly left the cabin. A group of more than a dozen people wearing special diving suits came to the small opening that Lu Yuan had welded earlier.
Then Lu Yuan nodded to Zhou Tong beside him, who readily accepted the dimensional crystal necklace that Lu Yuan handed over. With a wave of his hand, Lu Yuan sent everyone into the resource space.
Following the previous procedure, Lu Yuan led his group back into the cell. The cell was pitch black, with only a few dim lights indicating that it still had electricity.
With this electricity, Lu Yuan finally realized that there must be a control system in this place, otherwise connecting it to electricity would be useless.
Lu Yuan glanced at his watch: "Old Zhou is waiting for us up there. His oxygen tank has about three hours' worth of supply. We need to complete our mission within three hours. If we can't, we'll have to leave and try again! Remember, don't be reckless!"
Jock nodded deeply. He took the flashlight and walked to a nearby light tube, then removed the upper tube and replaced it with a brighter one.
Like Jock, the others replaced all the lights in the cell with very bright lights, instantly illuminating the water cell. Because there was no cover above, the water level in the cell had now reached half a person's height.
In order to get the water out, Lu Yuan found a water pump and connected the pipes outside to drain the water.
Jock held a sketch he had drawn on the spot and compared it with the surroundings. Finally, he found the location where Lynch had told him to hide the control switch.
Lu Yuan followed them to this location, and sure enough, they had pried off a brick from a wall. Behind the brick was a push-button switch.
Jock pressed it lightly, and after a rumbling sound, a large crack suddenly appeared in the wall in front of him, revealing various control switches.
Upon seeing these densely packed control switches, Lu Yuan was shocked.
"Look at all these switches, what are they for? So many switches! Are they trying to control all the equipment on this upper floor?"
Jock didn't speak, but took the flashlight and walked up to it. He glanced at the text on it and then turned to Lu Yuan and said, "Brother Lu, these control switches are supposed to be buttons that control the opening and closing of each protective panel above. However, all of these switches are controlled by a computer, so turning them on here won't do any good."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, then looked at the entire wall of switches and felt a sense of helplessness.
"Think it through carefully, and don't cause any trouble. We still have plenty of time!"
Jock nodded slightly, then gave instructions to the other team members. They then began to inspect the entire room, using various devices to examine the walls and floor.
They didn't intend to miss an inch of the land or walls. After checking all the rooms, Jock nodded slightly.
