Chapter 485: Beating the War Drums in Front of King Yan’s Palace

Without power, the messenger temporarily put down his work and acted as a messenger, repeating the captain’s orders loudly.

It was just like the ancient battlefield, where the general gave orders and the messenger shouted and repeated the orders.

Almost at the same time, Lin Wanxia saw the soldier who was scolded for looking for shoes running in.

He was very shabby, his shirt buttons were not fully fastened, his trouser legs were one long and one short, and he was barefoot. While running in, he asked the captain for instructions while quickly opening the emergency air supply valve with both hands.

The speed was so fast that it was dazzling.

"Shh!"

Supplying air to all water tanks would make a creepy sound.

In that instant, Lin Wanxia suddenly remembered Sun Wukong who was being chanted the tight hoop curse by Tang Monk.

That's probably what it felt like.

It was obvious that everyone was panicking, but no one was messing around. Commands were given quickly and loudly, full of murderous intent.

Even at this moment, their enemy was nature, the sea where a wave could take everyone's life.

Except for the command cabin, the officers and soldiers in other cabins were doing their own things in an orderly manner.

The 50-jin barrels filled with fresh water in the cabin slid backwards in unison like in the movies.

Tools that had not been put away after use were jumping all over the ground.

It felt like a real movie.

And, in the command cabin, the captain who gave the initial order was concentrating on driving the boat.

Standing not far away, Lin Wanxia could hear the captain mumbling in a low voice amid the noisy sounds.

"Get up! Get up! Get up! Don't fall down."

Everyone in the submarine actually felt bad at the moment.

Because the tilt has exceeded the normal angle, everyone has a feeling of weightlessness.

But they can't hide yet. Once one person relaxes, they will be finished.

No matter how uncomfortable it is, everyone still grits their teeth and sticks to their posts, struggling hard, trying to save the submarine and themselves.

Lin Wanxia looked around in a daze, she didn't see Jiang Sinian.

But she knew that Jiang Sinian must be busy somewhere on this submarine.

But she didn't know what she could do.

She was just a designer, and the only thing she could do seemed to be not to drag everyone down.

But she had a golden finger!

She was the daughter of the sea.

Just watch it?

What can she do?

In this place, at this speed, there is no time to summon large fish.

Besides, they can't compete with the sea.

What to do?

For the commander, supplying air to all water tanks is the best way.

After this order was issued, it was almost the same as a doctor saying to a patient: "We have tried our best!"

The command cabin became quiet, and

everyone looked at the depth gauge quietly.

The current water depth is more than 3,000 meters.

The 520 submarine is still sinking, sinking, and sinking continuously.

The silence in the cabin is probably waiting for the arrival of death or praying for a miracle.

At this moment, a report from the main engine room came.

"The main engine room is flooded!"

Almost everyone in the command room gasped.

The main engine room is at the stern, some distance away from the command room.

The officers and soldiers there could not hear what was happening in the command room.

They could only listen to the unusual instructions through the overhead broadcast.

"Report the situation over there." The sick commander supported the person next to him and asked.

The person who came to report shook his head, "It happened suddenly. Because the danger was too great, the three officers and soldiers in the cabin closed the watertight door connecting the front and rear cabins."

So he didn't know the situation inside now.

"Who's in there?"

"Zhang Rucai, Wang Xinfa, Jiang Sinian."

Lin Wanxia clenched her fists instantly, her heart felt like it was being pinched, and for a moment, she had trouble breathing.

She's a designer, and she knows what it means when the watertight door is closed.

If the water in the main engine room can be controlled, it's fine.

If the water in the main engine room can't be controlled, the two watertight doors will ensure that the water in the main engine room will not enter other compartments.

This means that the three people in the main engine room have decided to sacrifice themselves to save everyone on board.

Lin Wanxia took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

The main thing is that I don't know what else I can do.

After all, even the commander doesn't have any good ideas.

Everyone now has almost the same idea: leave it to fate.

Lin Wanxia pursed her lips, looking at these officers and soldiers who had lived together for a period of time, she felt sincere admiration.

She knew that they had high professional qualities.

The daily training slogans were "Don't fall behind even if you lose skin and flesh!" "Don't shed tears even if you bleed and sweat!"

Whether it was the baby-faced big bottle or the people on the submarine, Lin Wanxia usually felt like classmates and colleagues.

Everyone would gossip and quarrel.

Just like Wang Xinfa in the main engine room, he had a girlfriend for three years.

He received a letter from his girlfriend urging him to get married before departure, but he said that he didn't want to get married yet, because he felt that he would not be free after marriage and had to support the family...

Anyway, he was in love but didn't want to be responsible.

In Lin Wanxia's view, this was an irresponsible man.

But this man resolutely locked himself out of the door of life.

Zhang Rucai was a particularly stingy person.

Like a stingy rooster, he was really stingy and could always take advantage of others but would never suffer a single loss.

His monthly allowance was not low, and he only sent a small part to his family. He saved most of the money, but he lived a very hard life.

He never bought new clothes, and when he smoked, he either smoked from others or picked up cigarette butts.

He actively went on submarines just to earn more subsidies.

Everyone called him Pixiu. He

only took in and never gave out.

To be honest, even though Lin Wanxia had not been with him for a long time, she disliked him a little.

But, such a money-loving person, at this time, resolutely gave up the money and life that he regarded as his life.

These people usually have this or that shortcoming, as well as many advantages, but the only thing in common is probably that they do not compromise on patriotism and will not sell out their comrades in the face of danger.

As for Jiang Sinian, he should have gone there to help.

Lin Wanxia touched her belly and said silently: Baby, your dad will be fine.

***

The main engine room is densely packed with various equipment to provide power for the submarine.

They couldn't see the depth gauge and didn't know they had encountered an underwater cliff. They

only knew that the broadcast above their heads revealed invisible crises behind the unusual commands.

"Prepare the main motor to launch and sail!"

Then, the clock showed that the command cabin ordered the maximum speed to sail: "Forward two!"

Wang Xinfa just pushed the clock to "Forward two" when he heard a loud noise behind him.

"What's that sound?" While asking, he turned around and saw that white mist had already sprayed up from the bottom compartment.

A few seconds ago, Jiang Sinian, who helped to check the bottom compartment, had just reached the stairs and was sprayed with mist-like water droplets.

Under the influence of tens of atmospheres of pressure, the seawater was refracted into particles, which stung his body.

Jiang Sinian ignored the pain and shouted upwards: "The main engine room is flooded!"

He immediately closed the watertight door.

At the same time, he was also trapped in the main engine room.
