CapĂtulo 1954: Chapter 1847: Request for Instructions_4
Song Xiaodong sat on the sofa again, caught his breath for a while, then left.
On the way home, he received a call from Lin Feng.
âHello, Elder Lin.â
âSect Leader, I have something to report.â
âGo on.â
âNot on the phone, Iâm at the gate of your courtyard.â
Upon hearing this, Song Xiaodong realized it was something important.
Elder Lin had come directly to his house.
Song Xiaodong asked the guard to invite Elder Lin in and also called Chu Xianling to entertain Lin Feng.
Elder Lin was sipping tea in the living room with Chu Xianling sitting beside him.
âElder Lin, whatâs the urgent matter?â
âHere, look at this as I explain.â Lin Feng handed Song Xiaodong a document.
Song Xiaodong took it and saw it was information about a foreign shipwreck salvage company.
âA shipwreck salvage company, whatâs up with that?â Song Xiaodong asked.
âThis is a salvage company hired by the Dark Night Sect, and theyâve been very active recently near the Diaoyu Island.â Lin Feng said.
âWhat are they salvaging?â
âIndeed, but that area is disputed territory between us and Japan, so their exploration activities have been proceeding slowly, which is how we got this intelligence.â Lin Feng continued.
âWhat the Dark Night Sect wants, we want too.â Song Xiaodong frowned.
âExactly.â Lin Feng was satisfied with Song Xiaodongâs reaction.
âIf the Dark Night Sect is hiring a salvage company, there must be something in the shipwreck.â Song Xiaodong mused.
âYes, they are conducting a large-scale search in the area and clearly have a target.â
âGo investigate this salvage company to see if you can find any clues.â Song Xiaodong told Lin Feng.
âAlright.â
âAlso, find us a professional salvage company.â Song Xiaodong asked.
âOkay, Iâll handle it.â
âIf theyâre salvaging, then weâll salvage too.â
âHowever, we might need to have an underwater showdown with the Dark Night Sect, so Iâve arranged a diving instructor for you.â Lin Feng said.
âLearning on the fly, huh?â Song Xiaodong asked.
âWhat else can we do?â Lin Feng didnât wait for Song Xiaodongâs reply and left.
âXiaodong, are we going to the sea?â Chu Xianling asked.
âYesâŠâ
âReally? Thatâs great!â Sun Yiyi clapped her hands excitedly.
âHey, weâre going to risk our lives, no need to be so enthusiastic.â Song Xiaodong said.
âWhy should I be scared? With you around!â Sun Yiyi laughed and hugged him.
Early the next morning, Song Xiaodong received a call from an unfamiliar number.
âHello, is this Mr. Song Xiaodong?â A sweet female voice asked.
âHello, yes itâs me, and you are?â
âHello, Iâm Xu Duoduo, the diving instructor arranged by Mr. Lin for you.â
âAh? Hello, whatâs up?â
âUh⊠Mr. Song, itâs already ten oâclock, when will you be able to come?â Xu Duoduo asked Song Xiaodong.
âHmmâŠâ Song Xiaodong hesitated, looked at Sun Yiyi, Chu Xianling, and Xiao Yingying next to him, and said: âCoach Xu, probably around eleven oâclock!â
âAlright, see you then.â
Song Xiaodong, Sun Yiyi, Chu Xianling, Dragon Three, and Dragon Six arrived at the diving training center.
The huge swimming pool seemed bottomless, like an underwater abyss, making those with a fear of deep water shiver.
Song Xiaodong and the others came to the edge of the pool, and there was no one around, only the calm surface occasionally bubbling.
Clearly, Coach Xu was underwater.
Song Xiaodong and the others waited by the poolside.
Ten minutes passed, and no one surfaced yet.
âWow, could Coach Xu be entangled by seaweed and drowned down there?â Song Xiaodong joked.
Song Xiaodong was also puzzled inside, wondering what kind of person Lin Feng had arranged as their diving instructor.
Song Xiaodong could dive, but Sun Yiyi, Chu Xianling, and others could not.
Moreover, salvaging a shipwreck requires diving to significant depths, and the underwater pressure is high; Song Xiaodong had never dived so deep before.
More importantly, there might be underwater combat, and Song Xiaodong needed to learn related underwater fighting skills.
After a long fifteen minutes, a beautiful splash suddenly burst from the surface, and a person in a diving suit finally emerged, taking off their helmet.
It was a very attractive young woman, with well-defined features, a full forehead, brown hair tied in a bun, slender eyebrows, smiling eyes, modest cheekbones, a straight nose, and red lips fluttering in the water.
âOh, youâre here, sorry, I wanted to record my diving time.â
âHow long can Coach Xu dive?â Sun Yiyi asked curiously.
âWith a 15-liter large tank, I can dive for 50 minutes below 20 meters.â Xu Duoduo gradually swam to the shore.
âWow, thatâs amazing!â Sun Yiyi and Chu Xianling both expressed admiration.
Actually, Song Xiaodong knew that 50 minutes with a 15-liter tank was the normal limit for an average person, but for Qi Refining Masters like Song Xiaodong, Sun Yiyi, and Chu Xianling, they could use True Qi to reduce breathing frequency and dive longer.
So, Song Xiaodong wasnât particularly impressed by Xu Duoduoâs dive time.
Xu Duoduo climbed out of the pool and began to explain.
âMr. Lin told me youâre going deep diving, usually for scientific research or shipwreck salvage. You donât look like a research team, so you must be aiming to salvage a shipwreck. This qualifies as high-consumption deep diving, with significant movement and higher oxygen consumption underwater. Moreover, thereâs a risk of decompression sickness after rising to the surface. I donât know when youâre planning to set sail, but if youâre all newbies, Iâd advise you not to risk your lives.â
