Chapter 730 Dive (13)
Take a deep breath, and then another deep breath, sucking all the air into your abdominal cavity.
This is an abdominal breathing method that is different from normal people. It can often be seen in professionals who practice vocal music and yoga. It is different from chest breathing. Abdominal breathing is assisted by the respiratory muscles below the diaphragm. When the diaphragm is downward, Can effectively expand lung capacity to store more oxygen.
Walking from the cabin to the deck, heavy rain fell on Lin Nian's body. Beside him, Lu Mingfei kept taking deep breaths, trying to regulate his heartbeat according to the guidance of the diving instructor and psychiatrist.
But when he finally walked into the heavy rain and saw the red river water outside the ship's side, Lu Mingfei's breathing couldn't help but become confused. What he heard was a faint cough, which was extremely harsh and loud on the empty deck.
"Don't rely too much on deep breathing. You haven't developed the habit of abdominal breathing. If you take a few deep breaths, you will be out of breath before you dive. Deep breathing is also very energy-consuming." Lin Nian stretched out his hand to hold his hand. He touched Lu Mingfei's back, allowing the coughing Lu Mingfei to calm down his breathing a little. Manstein, who followed the two of them, also walked out of the cabin and nodded silently when he saw this scene.
In fact, Lin Nian's actions did not have much practical effect. Few people knew that this was a small habit developed between the two people a long time ago. In high school, Lu Mingfei and Lin Nian always walked together, and the latter Often reaching out to support his back out of habit.
Lu Mingfei was puzzled at first as to why this was happening, and Lin Nian just explained that if you don't walk with your back straight, your life will probably not be smooth. Lu Mingfei seemed to understand and didn't care much about this, so every time he subconsciously lowered his head, there would always be a hand beside him to help him stand up straight.
This time too.
The Beichuan has been anchored. All the anchors on the left and right sides of the ship were dropped at the same time, anchoring the steel giant on the flowing blood-red river. After the power system was turned off, the only thing that could be heard on the Beichuan was the roar of wind and rain like dragons. Whistling sound.
Fortunately, the Category 12 storm weakened dozens of times when it arrived at the center of Kuimen. Although the wind was still strong now, compared with the violent storm, it was now more like they had sailed into the eye of the storm and got a short break. Calm, everyone knows that the person who caused this storm is also waiting for their arrival under the water directly below them.
Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei walked to the designated diving position on the side of the ship. Their diving suits were fully dressed. Lin Nian carried the Seven Deadly Sins on his back, while Lu Mingfei carried an alchemical bomb containing the blood of the Holy Infant. The two There is a clear division of labor among the people, one person lays bombs and the other guards.
"You all know the precautions, right? You must have been tired of hearing them during the dive training. I won't repeat them again." Manstein stood between Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei, who were sitting on the side of the ship, holding his hands. He placed a heavy hand on both of their shoulders.
Precautions? What precautions should be taken to ensure that the referee is absolutely fair and fair? Lu Mingfei felt that his mind was a little confused, and bad jokes were pouring out of his memory one after another, but fortunately he still controlled his mouth.
"Look more, listen more, think more, weigh the pros and cons before taking action." Lin Nian looked at Manstein and nodded, "Lu Mingfei and I both remember it."
"This rule is mainly aimed at you this time." Manstein was silent for a moment and looked at Lin Nian on the left and said, "Lu Mingfei always thinks more than he takes action, so I am not worried about what he will do. Something amazing happens, but you are different. Sometimes you are easily controlled by your emotions and do irrational things. There are many examples of this, although the results are good every time."
"But if it goes bad once, the price I pay is beyond my ability to bear." Lin Nian told Manstein's final words.
Manstein was silent for a moment and then shook his head. It could be seen that as Lin Nian's mentor, he wanted to deliberately avoid some unlucky and depressing words before the mission.
"I know that propriety cannot be forced." Lin Nian looked directly into his mentor's eyes.
"I'm just a little worried." Manstein turned his head and took a deep breath. "Constantine did die in your hands. This is an honor, but sometimes the honor is too great, which will lead to some actions later. Wrong judgment.”
"Professor," Lin Nian said, "I want to go back alive."
Manstein paused and looked up at Lin Nian.
Lin Nian nodded slightly, "I still want to go back alive."
"Yeah." After hearing this, Manstein stopped saying anything and patted Lin Nian on the shoulder.
Lu Mingfei stared at the strange conversation between teacher and student, blinked, then looked at Manstein and said sincerely, "Professor, I also want to go back alive."
"I can see that." Manstein nodded and patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, "I've never worried about you on this."
"."
"I wish you good luck." Manstein gently pushed his hand on the two people's shoulders. The two people sitting on the side of the ship facing the deck fell backwards and disappeared without even the obvious sound of water. He disappeared in the half-meter-high blood that hit the side of the ship.

What caught the eye was blood red. Even with a nano diving suit to isolate the polluted river water, this depressing blood red still made people feel extremely uneasy. The search range of the spotlight was almost zero. After losing their sense of direction, they were simply in Let it fall in a sea of scarlet.
"Don't panic, think about the mental training during dive training." Lin Nian's voice sounded in Lu Mingfei's ears, which was so calm and reassuring.
The three-month special diving training includes treatment for psychological problems that divers may encounter when diving at shallow depths. Some people in society suffer from the symptom of "deep-sea phobia", which is ultimately caused by the fear of the unknown and a certain degree of "claustrophobia". After all, in the darkness of deep water, no one can guarantee that a giant "Anglerfish" will emerge and eat you in one bite.
The Executive Department attaches great importance to this potential disease. Any psychological loss of control when performing dragon-related diving tasks will bring huge hidden dangers to the entire team, so Lin Nian, Lu Mingfei and others have all done relevant special training.
The content of each person's special training was different. Caesar was alone in a deep sea trench with sharks; Zero was alone in a dark confinement room for three days; and Lu Mingfei was locked in an absolutely silent and dark room, and was told that there was a giant python in the room that he feared the most. The python had been fed in advance, and the room temperature was very low. As long as Lu Mingfei did not anger the python, there would be no danger, but his task was to find a key to open the iron door of the room in this environment.
That special training effectively solved Lu Mingfei's possible claustrophobia and deep sea phobia, but it also deepened his phobia of snakes. Because the wicked Manstein put the key to open the door next to the giant python, when Lu Mingfei searched everywhere but couldn't find it, he finally realized where the key might be and froze in place for half an hour before he made up his mind to try.
(In fact, he was warned that if he continued to train passively, the room temperature would rise to the level where the giant python would move. The longer the time dragged on, the higher the possibility that the giant python would completely digest the food and fall into hunger.)
"In a sense, there is no difference between giant pythons and dragons." Lin Nian said, "And this time you have someone with you."
"The only difference between giant pythons and dragons is that they can swallow me in one bite, right?" Lu Mingfei relied on the safety rope tied to Lin Nian to avoid being hit by the river water 800 meters away. He felt like a corgi on a dog leash during the whole diving process. If it weren't for Lin Nian, he would have been washed away by the current.
"Norton will not leave Baidi City. It will be safe before we enter Bronze City. The last time I came here, the dragon servants here were basically dead. He is now isolated and helpless."
Lin Nian couldn't see Lu Mingfei, but he could feel his presence by the touch of the safety rope. The progress of the whole dive was completely controlled by him. This kind of water flow rate is completely incomparable to the swimming pool of the equipment department. The deeper the dive, the slower the water flow will be.
"You mean the two second-generation species? Do you think the Dragon King will hate you? Do you think you killed his whole family?" Lu Mingfei asked from the safety rope.
"I don't think the Dragon King will treat his servants as family members. Did you treat the security guard grandfather of Shilan Middle School as a family member? When he died, you were even playing "StarCraft" in the Internet cafe." Lin Nian gave an example.
"Wait. The security guard of our high school died? The old man who polished the thermos cup until it was patinated?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.
"Well, I attended his funeral. His son who came back from Shanghai guarded his spirit for him. It can be said that there is a successor without regrets."
"Wait. Why did you go to the funeral of our school security guard?"
"The security guard grandfather used to be an auxiliary policeman. He worked as an auxiliary policeman for more than ten years and then changed his job to become the security guard of our high school through connections. Maybe I have a natural liking for the profession of police." Lin Nian gave a strange explanation without explaining in detail.
"Everyone's idol when they were young was the police uncle, but you are still like this in high school. Doesn't it seem that you are too focused? And auxiliary police are also police?" Lu Mingfei reluctantly accepted this statement, and tried to dive in the direction of the safety rope in the scarlet.
"Auxiliary police are also police." Lin Nian said, "At least that's what my sister said. She taught me to respect the police since I was a child."
"Your sister and you are both good." Lu Mingfei said dryly, "But are we going off topic?"
"Oh, yes, you led me off topic." Lin Nian complained first, "What were we talking about at the beginning?"
"We were talking about the Dragon King's family being killed by you." A third voice suddenly sounded in the communication channel, "This is the Beichuan, I am Captain Manstein, can you hear me?"
"I can hear it, the communication signal is normal." Lin Nian replied.
"It looks like the connection of the 'Snake' is very stable." Manstein nodded in the captain's room on the Beichuan, and turned his head to look at Ye Sheng, who was guarded by Chu Zihang on the deck and supported on the side of the ship with both hands. At this time, Ye Sheng's golden eyes were shining and he stared at the blood-red surging river water quietly.
"We have learned the lesson from the last time the communication line was cut off. We no longer rely on physical communication methods, but use the bioelectricity generated by the Word Spirit for communication. Both the river water and the Bronze City are excellent conductors. This time our communication will be maintained by Ye Sheng throughout the process." Manstein held the communicator and looked at the two intertwined heartbeats on the sonar. "According to the locator on your body, if you continue to maintain your diving speed, you will soon leave the 'Red Sea'."
Underwater, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that the blood-red in front of him faded like the tide, and all that surged up was light green water, washing the protective goggles of the diving suit again and again. This feeling was like breaking free from the mud, and even the compressed air he breathed seemed much fresher.
Lin Nian's figure also appeared on the side. He also found that Lin Nian stopped and did not continue to dive, but floated in place and turned around to look up, so he also looked up, and then was shocked by the scene in front of him.
