Chapter 259 Landing
Dr. Feng Li's protest was ineffective, and the advance team remained the five people designated by Yan San.
The team was divided into three squads. After the advance team returned, each squad would take turns going down into the pit.
"I'll go down first!" Yang Tai excitedly ran over first.
"Yang Tai, step down." Yan San spoke calmly, and Yang Tai's excited face immediately fell.
Yan San adjusted the automatic lifting rope attached to his waist and walked ahead of Yang Tai: "I'll go down first."
Seeing this, An Ying quickly stepped forward and hurriedly stopped him: "Major Yan, please wait! You are the core leader of the team, you must not be put in danger!"
Dr. Feng Li also agreed, saying, "You're right. Captain Yan really shouldn't have put himself in such danger. I suggest we have a dedicated reconnaissance officer lead the way."
“Dr. An is right, but the advance team only has Major Yue and…” Di Han suddenly chimed in, agreeing with An Ying’s opinion.
The person he didn't mention was Xi Yu, who was a logistics staff member from another reconnaissance unit in the advance team.
Xi Yu glanced indifferently at Di Han and An Ying, then curled the corners of her lips into a smile: "I have no objections, so let me go down first!"
Yan San's sharp eyes swept over them immediately, coldly warning those who were restless: "In the First Legion, my words are absolute orders!"
He glanced at Xi Yu out of the corner of his eye, and Xi Yu shrugged innocently.
It's not like she's the one causing trouble.
An Ying was intimidated by Yan San's imposing aura and could only bite her lower lip and retreat. As for Di Han, he still had a slight smile on his face, but there was an unclear dark light in his eyes.
After going around in circles, Yan San was the first to go down.
He plunged one end of the automatic rope into the snow wall at the edge of the pit, and then jumped down into the bottomless pit without hesitation. He was swallowed by darkness in an instant, leaving only the whooshing sound of the rope pulling.
The rope is made of the strongest steel wire, capable of supporting the weight of two adult men, and is a full 3000 meters long.
As Yan San descended rapidly, he would plunge his military knife into the rock face every 500 meters, pause briefly, and then jump down again.
When the rope reached about 1500 meters, he finally felt the airflow at the bottom.
The actual depth to the bottom of the pit is about 1800 meters, and there has never been a pit this deep in the world before.
After removing the rope, Yan San signaled to his teammates at the top.
He waited in place for about twenty minutes, and only after all the last Fang Yiqings had landed safely did he continue his explanation.
"There is enough oxygen here for the five of us, but just in case, everyone should be prepared to use oxygen cylinders. If you feel unwell, come back here as soon as possible."
He carries a light that can illuminate the area within a five-meter radius.
The ground here is strangely smooth, as if someone had cleaned it, which is quite eerie.
"If there are no problems, let's set off." Yan San calmly examined the surrounding environment and took the lead in walking towards the only passage.
Xi Yu walked behind Yan San, with Yang Tai beside her.
Yang Tai was surprised that she was able to land smoothly at the bottom of the pit, and couldn't help but gossip: "I remember you were in the logistics department at military academy, right? But you're very agile, and your grades in school must have been very good!"
"It's alright, but I like the feeling of rapid descent." Xi Yu gently curled the corners of her mouth, which looked somewhat sinister in the dim light.
"What a strange person!" Yang Tai commented.
