The next day, Chen Chen personally went to the reef coast.
Namibia was sparsely populated to begin with. There were only 2.5 million people living on the 800,000 square kilometers of land. Places like this that were off the main road were even more inaccessible.
All they needed to do was to have four or five B.S.S. members drive around and guard the area to prevent any prying eyes.
Therefore, Chen Chen did not have to worry about anyone noticing his actions.
At this time, Chen Chen stood on the deck of a luxury yacht, watching several agile B.S.S. members put on their diving suits and jumped into the water with hydraulic rope saws and other underwater cutting equipment.
Following that, there was a dull buzzing sound.
"Boss, the entrance to the cave is seven meters down from this protrusion."
Qian Wenhuan stood beside Chen Chen and explained carefully, "Don't be fooled by the fact that this reef coast isn't very long, only a few hundred meters in total. Because it's underwater, the difficulty of finding it increases exponentially. If it weren't for Hanamal, we might not be able to find the cave in a month or two."
"That's true."
Chen Chen nodded ruefully. "I wonder what the person who first discovered this cave went through."
"I've asked around. Even though Hanamal wasn't the first to discover it, it was one of his childhood friends who discovered it. That friend found it while searching for oysters at the beach."
"Did you go to Gorob Village to find out?" Chen Chen turned around and asked.
"I did."
Qian Wenhuan nodded. "There were two people there who knew Hanamal, but they were both women. Hanamal's playmate died a long time ago and Hanamal's siblings have all passed away as well."
"In other words, Hanamal might be the only one who knows about this cave?"
"That should be the case, but I'll keep a close eye on it," Qian Wenhuan quickly said.
Chen Chen nodded. "It's better to be safe than sorry. We'll have to put in more effort on the people in the know."
"What about this Hanamal?" Qian Wenhuan suddenly lowered his voice. "Now that we've found the cave, what should we do with Hanamal?"
"Isn't he an electronics engineer? Let him work here. "
Chen Chen said nonchalantly, "Also, erase his memory from the past few days. Just make up a reason and make him stay."
"Understood."
As the two of them conversed, the noise under the sea grew louder. After a while, a few B.S.S. members emerged from the water and were pulled onto the boat while shouting.
"Boss, it looks like the cave has been cleared," Qian Wenhuan said excitedly.
"Let the next group of people go in. Bring the cameras too."
"Alright!"
Following Chen Chen's order, the second batch of team members also put on their diving suits. Not only that, but they also wore head-mounted waterproof cameras on their heads, which were connected directly to the data cable. The other end was connected to the display inside the yacht.
When Chen Chen entered the cabin, a group of B.S.S. members were tidying up their diving suits.
“sir！”
“
sir！”
Upon seeing Chen Chen's arrival, everyone was taken aback at first, then quickly stood up and saluted. It seemed that Cheng Cao's training during this period was very effective.
"Sir, please sit here." Brando, who was in charge, stood up and gave up his seat.
"Thank you." Chen Chen thanked him and sat down without hesitation.
At this time, the second team had begun to move. Everyone watched from the display and saw two team members diving into the water. Then, under the illumination of the lights, they began to search for the location of the cave.
The cave was concave and buried in the shadows. If one did not deliberately look for it, it would be difficult to find the location.
As the cameras probed into the cave, the entire space became narrow. The widest part of the cave was only fifty centimeters. Even through the display, everyone could still feel an inexplicable pressure.
On the data chart that displayed the physical conditions of the two team members, the data representing their heartbeat and blood pressure began to rise rapidly.
This was the psychological quality of mercenaries who had experienced high-intensity battles. If it were ordinary people or people with claustrophobia, they might instantly lose control in such an environment.
Fortunately, the journey was not long. They reached the end after swimming only a dozen meters. At this point, the space opened up again and the two of them swam upstream.
After a while, the two of them left the water and came to a space inside the mountain.
"Everything is normal, we've arrived at our destination."
Brando, who was in charge of the work, glanced at Chen Chen. Seeing that Chen Chen had no intention of interfering, he continued to issue orders into the headset. "Set up the signal antenna and check the equipment. Also, get ready for support."
"Roger that."
Following Brando's orders, they began to set up the video signal terminal equipment. As long as the signal cable was connected to the terminal, the cameras above everyone's heads would then connect to the terminal wirelessly. This way, the people outside would be able to see the footage from the cameras in real time.
After the setup was completed, they checked the firearms and various survival equipment. Although Hanamal claimed that there was no danger inside, no one was going to gamble with their lives just because of what someone else said. Therefore, everyone who entered the cave was equipped with automatic rifles.
When everything was ready, Ling Chen gave a thumbs up to the camera in front of her.
"The third team, follow up." Brando continued to order.
With the support of the first team, the third team had a much easier time. In less than a minute, they had successfully entered the cave.
Just like that, the divers entered the cave in groups of two. In the end, there were a total of four teams. The lights above everyone's heads illuminated the cave.
"Alright, everyone line up in a row. Everyone is at least three meters away from each other. Explore the gap in front of you."
Brando ordered again, "Also, without my permission, no one is allowed to open fire in case there's flammable gas.
"I repeat, without the command center's permission, no one is allowed to open fire no matter what happens. Understood?"
"Understood!"
Scattered replies could be heard from the other side of the screen.
"Alright, Thomson will take the lead, Wayne will follow and Cabot will be the third. Enter the cave one by one. Hurry, hurry up!"
Brando was a field commander when he was in the army. Now, it was even easier for him to carry out his old job. "Thomson, turn on your gas and temperature detection device. Pay close attention to any changes in the gas in front. Everyone else, get ready. Put on your breathing masks if there's a problem!"
Following Brando's instructions, everyone began to go straight down the gap.
Sometimes, one could not help but marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature. No one knew when this underground gap was formed. It was extremely long and narrow. Sometimes, there was no slope at all. Other times, it would take a sharp downward turn. They had to keep climbing to reach the next part of the path.
Not only that, but along the way, they saw a large number of stalactites. These were materials that could only be formed in the long geological history of the carbonate rock area. This meant that the landscape here had not changed for at least hundreds of thousands of years.
Still, for Chen Chen and the rest, this was a good sign.
However, unlike Hanamal and the group of teenagers, the mercenaries' physique was far stronger than that of ordinary people. They only took half an hour to reach the end of the gap.
