Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Bombarding the Submarine and Capturing the Leader

But those warships apparently left without any gains. This further proves that the plane is a spy plane of country R.On the other hand, intelligence reported that the intelligence chief of country R severely punished dozens of people, but did not announce the reason. After the "Brothers and Sisters" sailed away from the city's coast at a very high speed, it immediately dived into the seabed. Then, the solid fuel drove the powerful engine, which made the "Brothers and Sisters" release the water at a supersonic speed. Speed, fly to the destination. When we arrived at the sky above the destination, it was night, and the "Brothers and Sisters" dived into the water again. In that area, the undercurrent on the bottom of the sea was quite turbulent, and the long-distance TV camera tube was stretched out. It appeared on the screen, and Annie was in charge of guarding the screen.

Yun Wufeng was sitting opposite Annie, and what he was watching was the response of the radar sounder. According to the information they obtained, this is the place where the plane crashed and fell into the sea. Gao Xiang and Yun Sifeng were operating nervously in the cockpit. According to the results of the instrument detection, the depth of the underwater grand canyon reached 1,500 feet. If the plane sank straight into the grand canyon, they would not be able to find it. The diving capability of "Brothers and Sisters" is already higher than that of many submarines in the world, but the diving limit is only 1,200 feet.If this limit is exceeded, the entire "Brothers and Sisters" may be crushed into a piece of scrap iron by the incredible pressure of sea water!

At this time, the "Brothers and Sisters" was already a thousand feet above the surface of the sea, and was still sinking. At a depth of more than a thousand feet, the depth gauge is already red, which means that danger may occur at any time, but they still have to sink down. Their actions are not considered dangerous. The most dangerous is Mu Xiuzhen. Diving equipment checked, and if that plane is spotted, she's leaving Brothers and Sisters! Mu Xiuzhen is a diver with world-class diving skills, but diving at about 1,200 feet is something that humans can't even think about!

What Mu Xiuzhen was holding was an alloy steel diving suit, which was actually equivalent to a barrel. Mu Xiuzhen hid in the diving suit, hoping to use the hard and resilient alloy steel to resist the strong seawater pressure.Mu Xiuzhen's hands and feet cannot be exposed to the sea water, but can only operate the equipment in the diving suit instead of moving. The "Brothers and Sisters" continued to sink, and when it reached 1,100 feet, the red light flashed. Annie's sight, on several fluorescent screens, swept back and forth. The situation inside was displayed on the screen, but Anne couldn't see anything.

The "Brothers and Sisters" continued to sink downward, and everyone was so nervous that they held their breath. Yun Wufeng was the first to speak out, breaking the embarrassing silence, and said, "The radar wave has responded, turn left fifteen degrees." Gao Xiang hurriedly corrected the direction of the submarine, turned fifteen degrees to the left, and drove forward, while still sinking slowly. Yun Wufeng said again: "The reaction came from 800 yards ahead, Annie, adjust the angle of the TV camera tube, we should be able to see what kind of metal object it is."

Annie hurriedly turned a button, the bottom of the sea was pitch black, and there were almost no living things on the bottom of the sea, as seen on the fluorescent screen, the water was terribly black, and the rocks were just a piece of gray sand. Yun Wufeng kept pointing the direction, and suddenly, Annie cried out, "Look, what is this?" On the fluorescent screen, one can see a metal body, pointed and shuttle-shaped, resting on a huge rock. Gao Xiang hurriedly stopped moving forward, the pointed shuttle-shaped metal object could already be seen very clearly on the screen, but no matter what, it didn't look like an airplane!

They came here to search for that plane, and when Yun Wufeng said that the radar waves responded with metal objects, everyone thought that they had found that plane! However, they discovered such a monster! Mu Xiuzhen first asked, "What is that?" No one answered her question, no one knew what it was. Only Anne whispered, "It's five hundred yards away from us." Yun Sifeng said: "Can the distance be shortened?" Annie pressed a few more buttons, and on the screen, the object seemed to be much closer. At this moment, a piece of iron chain suddenly fell down from the left side of the target object, straight to the As it fell, there was a square piece of iron at one end of the iron chain.

The iron chain has been falling downwards, falling into the depths of the Grand Canyon, at least several hundred feet long. Annie hurriedly turned the button, trying to follow the situation at the bottom of the big rock valley under the sea, but the bottom of the sea was too dark to see clearly, and Yun Sifeng said at this time: "At the bottom of the canyon, the radar wave detected metal again. where the object is!" Mu Xiuzhen cried out, "The plane is at the bottom of the canyon!" Gao Xiang was stunned for a moment and said, "Then, what is this?" Gao Xiang pointed to the cigar-shaped strange object on the fluorescent screen that protruded from the iron chain and reached the bottom of the sea.

Yun Sifeng's voice was very low, but his expression was full of indescribable excitement, he said: "We are late!" Everyone in the cockpit didn't know what he meant by that, so they all looked at him, and Yun Sifeng said again: "It is obviously a deep-water submarine, and it is being salvaged! Its The purpose is the crashed plane!" Annie and Mu Xiuzhen said in unison, "A deep-water submarine from Country R?" Yun Sifeng said: "There are not many countries in the world that can build such a deep-water submarine. Other countries will not be interested in this crashed plane, of course it belongs to country R."

Gao Xiang clenched his fists tightly, waved his hands and said, "Sink it!" Mu Xiuzhen immediately said, "Let me launch the torpedo!" As she spoke, she pressed a few buttons to determine the distance and direction of the diving ship, but Yun Sifeng said: "Don't worry, destroying it will not do us good!" Mu Xiuzhen opened her eyes wide and said, "What about it? When it finds us, it will preemptively attack us!" Yun Sifeng sighed, he naturally knew the excitement in Mu Xiuzhen and Gao Xiang's heart, in fact, he was equally excited, because Magnolia may have sunk to the bottom of the sea, in that crashed plane!

However, Yun Sifeng still knew that it would not be beneficial for them to take action to deal with the submarine of country R at this time. He tried his best to keep his words calm, and he said: "Country R didn't announce anything on the surface, but secretly sent this deep-water submarine, but we know that they are determined to get that plane. This kind of deep-water operation, there is no certainty—” When Yun Sifeng said this, Mu Xiuzhen interrupted him impatiently, and said, "You mean, we will take action after they pick up the plane!" Yun Sifeng didn't say anything more, because that's exactly what he meant, he just nodded and looked at Gao Xiang. Ever since there was no news about Magnolia, Gao Xiang's heart has hardly been peaceful for a minute. He tried his best to calm down, but he found that it was almost impossible to calm down. At this time, seeing Yun Sifeng's expression, he knew that Yun Sifeng was asking for his opinion, so he smiled wryly and said, "Sifeng, it's up to you, I'm in a mess, if I make the decision , may make mistakes!" Among them, Yun Sifeng talked the least, but at this time, Gao Xiang's words came out, and he reached out to hold Gao Xiang's hand. Obviously, he was expressing his greatest support and comfort for Gao Xiang in his heart.Gao Xiang also held Yun Sifeng's hand tightly, feeling sore in his heart. Yun Sifeng said: "Okay, my opinion is that we don't take any action first, just observe each other, and do everything possible to prevent the other party from discovering our existence, Annie, you activate the anti-radar detection system, don't let The other party has a chance to find us." Annie agreed, turned around, and pressed several buttons in front of the console. Those buttons controlled several radio wave reflectors, emitting messy and irregular radio waves, which played a role in interference. , so that the opponent's radar detection lost its effect. The five of them stared at the screen together, only to see that the cigar-shaped submarine suddenly shook. Originally, it seemed to be resting on a large rock on the bottom of the sea. At this moment, the hull of the boat shook, and many pieces fell from the rock. The iron chain protruding from the submarine was also shaking, and, It can be seen that the iron chain is gradually withdrawing into the submarine. Annie said in a very low voice: "They already have the results!" Following Annie's words, there was a burst of bubbles rising in the sea water, and a diver wearing a deep water jacket had risen up from the dark, completely invisible underwater canyon. The diver's deep-water diving suit was shaped like a ball. The diver came to the side of the submarine and slid into the bottom. On the TV screen, it was impossible to see how he entered the submarine. Yun Sifeng said slowly: "This is a remarkable scientific achievement. If country R hadn't been accustomed to blocking news, I think this person has set a world deep-water record!" Mu Xiuzhen snorted a little dissatisfied, and said, "They are doing such a ghostly deed, why are they publishing records!" At this time, from the screen, the iron chain seems to be retracting faster and faster. In less than two minutes, the calm deep sea water suddenly churned, the iron chain rose, and a plane flew up. Already hung by chains! The plane was still very complete, only a small half of the left wing was broken, and at one end of the iron chain were a few big hooks caught on the window. Mu Xiuzhen shouted: "They succeeded!" Gao Xiang sounded very nervous, and said, "What should we do?" Yun Sifeng immediately said: "If they rise to the surface of the water, we will also rise up!" Gao Xiang hurriedly said: "When we came, although we didn't find any boats on the water, I don't think they would have no boats on the water to meet them." Yun Sifeng shook his head and said: "I don't think there will be, because this matter is pretending to be indifferent on the surface of Country R. This is their ugly and appalling spy operation. They are afraid of the condemnation of the world's public opinion, so they dare not make it public. I guess They will use this submarine, tow the wrecked plane, to their own harbor, and then try to get the plane ashore!" Gao Xiang bit his lower lip tightly, stayed for a moment, and then nodded. The iron chain continued to shrink, and the distance between the plane and the deep-water submarine was only about ten yards. At this moment, the chains stopped shrinking, and the deep-water submarine began to ascend. It followed the opponent's submarine and rose seven hundred feet. The deep-water submarine stopped ascending and moved forward. The speed of the deep-water submarine in the water is quite high. When it sailed forward at high speed, the plane was dragged behind, almost parallel to the submarine, and the sea water was rolled up in vortexes. Yun Sifeng and Yun Wufeng spread out the chart and studied it intently, while Gao Xiang was pacing up and down nervously. Yun Sifeng looked at the chart for a while, then raised his head, and said, "They are obviously rushing back." Gao Xiang said: "If we arrive at the port of country R, ​​we will have no chance to attack!" Yun Sifeng punched hard on the sea chart, and said: "Of course they can't be allowed to escape back to the port. Let's attack here. The water here is very shallow, only about 600 feet. They will definitely return to the sea in this area." Go up, Xiuzhen, we need to change the direction of sailing, don't follow behind them, let's rush forward at full speed, at this predetermined place, attack from the middle, and hit it in one shot!" The tone of Yun Sifeng's decision was extremely firm, and Mu Xiuzhen agreed loudly. The five of them all knew what was going to happen. If it was not done well, it would be a very serious matter! They will launch a sneak attack on country R's deep-water submarine! And this action can be said to be a deep-water war that has never been seen in human history! It may not be appropriate to describe this kind of action as a "war", but it is a real war. There are not many countries in the world with advanced science and technology that can participate in this kind of war! Mu Xiuzhen changed the course, and the "Brothers and Sisters" stopped following and sailed to the left. Five minutes later, the deep-water submarine disappeared from the screen! At this time, everyone felt somewhat risky, because they were preparing to ambush in that sea area, but if the other party did not pass through that sea area, they would no longer be able to continue tracking! The "Brothers and Sisters" was submerged in the sea at full speed, and the hull could not help but shake slightly. It rose another 200 feet, and Yun Sifeng kept looking at the sea map. After an extremely tense hour, from the TV screen, the seabed in front was very flat, full of fine and white sand, and that was the area where they were going to ambush each other. The Brothers and Sisters had slowed down and finally, behind a mass of rocks, came to a stop. During that time, Annie and Yun Sifeng nervously operated the radar system, looking for the whereabouts of country R's deep-water submarine. After another five minutes, Annie suddenly cried out, "They're coming! Look!" Annie pointed to the radar screen, a bright green dot was rapidly approaching, in the cockpit of "Brothers and Sisters", at that moment, everyone was so nervous that they held their breath.Yun Sifeng and the bright green dot took a look, then waved to Mu Xiuzhen. Mu Xiuzhen had been waiting for that moment for too long!She immediately sat in front of the console, put her finger on a red button, and at the same time carefully checked the related instruments. Anne's voice sounded a little strange because of her nervousness. She kept reporting the other party's position and distance until the long-distance TV camera tube made the R country's deep-water submarine appear on the screen. The deep-water submarine was still moving forward at a very high speed, and the plane was still trailing thirty yards from the stern. Yun Sifeng stared at the screen, and said word by word: "Get ready to shoot, pay attention to the instrumentation, when the bow of the opponent's boat is 200 yards away from us, forming an angle of 70 degrees, launch an attack!" While Mu Xiuzhen calibrated the aiming instrument, Yun Wufeng was still saying, "Aim at the bow of the boat and calculate the opponent's speed!" Mu Xiuzhen operated nervously, turned her head, and said, "Forget it, the best launch time, there will be a red siren!" If that deep-water submarine was stationary, then it would not be difficult to hit it, but the opponent was sailing at high speed. Before the "Brothers and Sisters" launched an attack, they had to carefully calculate the opponent's sailing speed and the launch speed of the torpedo so that the torpedo could hit the opponent accurately.If there is a mistake, the torpedo may not hit the opponent, and more likely, it will hit the plane towing at the stern. No matter which of these two situations happened, it would be extremely unfavorable to Gao Xiang and the others. Destroying the plane naturally violated their wishes, and if they missed a single hit, the opponent's attack equipment must be far away. "Brothers and Sisters" aboard. As long as the opponent has a chance to fight back, the chance of the "Brothers and Sisters" rising to the surface is almost equal to zero. The two or three minutes of waiting was even more tense and breathless. Suddenly, a red light came on, and at the same time, there was a "beep" sound. The sound of "beep" sounded every second, and when it reached the tenth time, Mu Xiuzhen was so nervous that she couldn't breathe. She couldn't help but let out a loud "ah", and moved her hand to Down, press down! The loud cry she made was really meaningless. Although at this time, she was fighting the enemy for life and death, but the tools they fought with were all the peaks of modern science, not knives in their hands. Cut to the other side.It was absolutely impossible to hear her screams. But, in fact, the situation is the same, the involuntary cry is the determination to fight to the death, and it is called to oneself, or it is a natural reaction of a person in such a situation! With Mu Xiuzhen's loud cry, a torpedo was launched. The Brothers and Sisters were never designed to be an attack ship, it only had a little attack equipment, it was all designed for self-defense, because anything can happen at sea. Therefore, this torpedo was very small, less than two feet long and a few inches in diameter. It rushed forward at a very high speed in the sea, looking like a frightened swordfish. It was also because of the small size of the torpedo that they were able to succeed. The deep-water submarine did not notice until the torpedo was only twenty or thirty yards away, and it seemed that it was about to stop abruptly so that the torpedo shoot empty. However, it was originally submerged at high speed, and it was impossible to stop immediately in the water. It still rushed forward and collided head-on with the torpedo that was blasting at it. When the torpedo collided with the deep-water submarine, within half a minute after the explosion, all that was seen on the screen were messy water bubbles and stirred up sea water. Half a minute later, the results of their attack were gradually visible. The first half of the deep-water submarine had disappeared, and the second half, together with the plane, was half buried in the sea sand. The sea sand stirred up by the explosive force , is still sinking, and it is about to cover the submarine and the plane together! Yun Sifeng yelled loudly and said, "Get ready!" Mu Xiuzhen and Gao Xiang changed into diving equipment as quickly as possible, and the "Brothers and Sisters" also sailed forward, and when they reached the vicinity of the destroyed submarine, Mu Xiuzhen and Gao Xiang left the "Brothers and Sisters" " entered the sea. They swam towards it for two or three minutes, and they could touch the plane with their hands. At this time, the sea sand had completely subsided, and the sea water became clear again. Mu Xiuzhen couldn't wait to dive in through the window of the plane. But at this time, Yun Sifeng's voice suddenly came from the radio communication device, saying: "Be careful, people from the submarine have surfaced!" Gao Xiang and Mu Xiuzhen heard the warning at the same time, and they immediately stopped beside the fuselage, only to see a person from the submarine, pushing aside the floating sand, and ascending. Gao Xiang immediately swam forward, the man seemed to have discovered Gao Xiang, and immediately swam forward, but Gao Xiang swam faster than him, and soon caught up with the man, the man turned around, Gao Xiang stretched out his hand , he pulled the air pipe of his gas cylinder, the man turned around and raised his hand to Gao Xiang, but Gao Xiang had already pulled him closer and wrapped his neck around his neck. The man struggled vigorously, and Mu Xiuzhen also rushed over at this time, and punched the man twice with her mouth open. The man slowed down, and Gao Xiang and Mu Xiuzhen dragged the man towards the "Brothers and Sisters" together. go. Mu Xiuzhen pulled down her hood and said through the radio, "We have caught him, get him into the boat!" A round hole was opened beside the "Brothers and Sisters", and Mu Xiuzhen and Gao Xiang stuffed the man in. The man seemed to know that there was no hope, so he stopped struggling. As soon as the person was stuffed into the round door, the national gate moved up automatically. Inside the round door, there was a small space. When the round door moved up, the automatic drainage system would pump out the water, and then , and then slowly adjust the pressure, after about two minutes, Yun Sifeng and the others can open another door and bring that person in. Mu Xiuzhen said again: "Give that guy a hard time first, Gao Xiang and I went inside the plane to find..." She originally wanted to say, "Go to the plane to find Sister Lanhua", but when she was halfway through her words, she suddenly remembered that if Magnolia was found in the cabin of the plane, the situation would be unimaginable. So she stopped immediately. And Gao Xiang was also anxious to swim to the plane. He and Mu Xiuzhen arrived next to the plane after a while, and unexpectedly found that the door was open, and the cabin had already been filled with sea water. They swam in through the door one after another, and turned on the lights. Under the light, they immediately found three dead bodies, two of which were in the cabin.The other was in the cockpit, tucked under the driver's seat. The plane was small, and if there was a fourth body, they would have been able to see it. However, apart from the three corpses, they found nothing special. Gao Xiang was in the cabin, leaning on the seat, and slowly moving towards the tail. At this time, they heard Annie's voice at the same time, and Annie shouted: "Sister Xiuzhen, Brother Gao Xiang, come back quickly, we captured a very important person, and he has the latest information about that plane! Listen, It seems that Sister Lanhua is not dead!" Gao Xiang took a breath and said, "Really? We can't find orchids here!" Annie's voice seemed to be crying with joy, and she called, "That's great, come back soon." Mu Xiuzhen went back to swim out, Gao Xiang followed behind her, the two of them got out of the cabin one after another, came to the side of "Brothers and Sisters", the small round door opened, and they swam in. A minute later, the seawater in the secret room inside the small round door was drained. They waited for a while, and another door opened. Mu Xiuzhen and Gao Xiang both took off their hoods and diving suits. Annie was at the door, impatient to wait. Gradually took Mu Xiuzhen's hand and walked in together. When they came to the cockpit, they saw that the man subdued by them in the water was very tall, but his expression was very depressed. He lowered his head and sat still. There was a wound on his left shoulder. Yun Wufeng was bandaging him with gauze. As soon as Gao Xiang and Mu Xiuzhen entered, Yun Sifeng said: "Gao Xiang, Xiuzhen, let us introduce our guest for you. He is a senior official of the intelligence department of Country R, ​​Major General Tulie." Gao Xiang and Mu Xiuzhen couldn't help being stunned for a moment, they looked at each other, and in an instant, they both felt like they were riding a tiger! Because they not only destroyed a deep-water submarine of country R, ​​but also captured a senior intelligence officer of country R. In the current situation, they naturally have the upper hand, but how will they deal with this captive? If they were a country hostile to country R, ​​it would be much easier, but they are not, they are just civilians, they are looking for magnolia, and this series of things happened. When Yun Sifeng introduced him, the general slightly raised his head and glanced at Gao Xiang. Gao Xiang first put aside the idea of ​​how to deal with this person, what he really wanted to know was what happened to Mulanhua, so he immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "What's wrong with Mulanhua?" Major General Tulie showed a helpless wry smile, and said: "Mulanhua, she...is unbelievable. We sent two extremely capable people to anesthetize her and take her on the plane. The moment she was about to land, something happened. It seems that Magnolia has controlled the plane, so the plane has been flying out of the country." Gao Xiang's face was ashen, staring at the other party, Major General Tulie stopped, and he shouted: "Speak!" Major General Tulie licked his lips, and said: "I was in charge of the work at the airport, and the plane suddenly took off after landing. I ordered the pursuit, and seven fighter jets went to intercept, but firstly, due to the hasty takeoff, the fuel was insufficient; secondly, The plane seemed to fall under the control of our people once again, flew back, suddenly changed direction again, and finally escaped." Gao Xiang closed his eyes for a moment. No matter how rich his imagination was, he couldn't imagine the soul-stirring battle of wits and strength that took place on that plane within that hour. Gao Xiang was so nervous that his chest hurt a little, and he said, "How about the future, is there any news about Magnolia?" Major General Tulie shook his head and said, "No." "Who opened the door?" Major General Tullet said: "The diver's report is that the door of the cabin was opened before he arrived." Mu Xiuzhen hurriedly asked, "What does that mean?" Major General Tulie said: "There are two possibilities. One is that the door of the plane was opened before it fell into the sea, and the other is that after it fell into the sea, but the former one is more likely. The divers made a detailed inspection and found that the plane's fuel was completely used up It’s gone, and the life-saving equipment for the co-pilot is missing, including parachutes and lifeboats.” Annie immediately interjected: "Brother Gao Xiang, it's possible that Sister Lanhua used this life-saving equipment. She jumped out of the plane before it fell into the sea!" Gao Xiang, Yun Sifeng, Mu Xiuzhen, and Yun Wufeng couldn't help but "thump" in their hearts, and this situation made him sound hopeful again. In order to get first-hand information, Gao Xiang hurriedly asked, "What about the diver?" Major General Tulie smiled and said: "Dead, when your torpedo hit the submarine, three of the four of us died, and only I escaped, but I was also injured!" Yun Sifeng said: "General, in terms of your work experience, how do you think Magnolia is doing now?" Major General Tulie was very cooperative. He turned his head and thought for a moment before he said: "Although it is impossible to think about it, since Magnolia can win the control of the plane under such circumstances, she may also predict the fuel consumption. Finish, leave the plane beforehand!" When he said this, he paused for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, she should have landed on the sea." Annie said sharply: "It's been several days!" Gao Xiang said: "How about the life-saving equipment on your plane?" Major General Tulie said: "Including water, food, and rubber boats, within seven days, it can be maintained!" Gao Xiang hurriedly turned around and said, "Annie, contact the international police quickly and ask them to provide the weather, current records, and ship records in this area for the past four days!" Annie agreed, and while she was in front of the communicator, contacting the international police, she was praying over and over again in her heart: bless sister Lanhua is fine, bless sister Lanhua is fine!
In the past four days, Magnolia was indeed safe and sound, so peaceful that nothing happened. This was not an ideal phenomenon for Magnolia's situation at the time. As far as Mulan is concerned, she hopes that the more things happen, the better. The best thing is to meet a ship, then she can be rescued. But in the past four days, in the vast sea, she couldn't see any living things except the backs of big fish that emerged from the water from time to time.Although her water and food can still be maintained, drifting for four days is by no means a pleasant thing. Moreover, if you continue to drift, whether you will encounter a ship is completely unpredictable.The ocean is really huge. Although there are thousands of ships sailing on the sea anytime and anywhere, compared with the boundless sea, those thousands of ships are no different from a needle. At dusk on the fourth day, seeing the bright red sun sinking from the horizon again, the sky was full of red clouds and turned to deep purple. In a blink of an eye, the sky was dark again. Magnolia sighed, it seemed that she had to prepare for the fifth day of drifting at sea. In the past four days, she was drifting alone on the sea, giving her the opportunity to think of many things, but for such a change, she would never have had the opportunity to calm down and think about so many things. Magnolia thinks of her own life in the past few years, and also thinks of her family. The sea is as calm as it is still. If the weather is always so good, she can naturally support it for a long time, but if the weather changes, it will be hard to say. up. However, Magnolia has nothing to do. No matter how strong manpower is, it is absolutely impossible to compete with nature, so Magnolia has to resign herself to fate.After the sky was completely dark, she closed her eyes. When she woke up, the sky was full of stars, reflecting on the sea surface, and there were streaks of silver light shining indefinitely. The scene was extremely beautiful. Magnolia looked at the dark sea, suddenly, she saw a bright light in the distance, flashing. Magnolia rubbed her eyes, she knew that a person trapped in the sea or desert is the most prone to hallucinations. However, when she rubbed her eyes, the light seemed to become more obvious! Magnolia couldn't help but screamed loudly.But after she yelled a few times, she immediately realized that her yelling was totally useless, so she hurriedly found a lamp, and turned the triboelectric device vigorously to light up the lamp. Then, she pointed the lamp at the place where the light was coming from, and it flickered.
