Chapter 8: The Storm Comes

Early the next morning, Boss Liu, who learned that the two guests were going to go to sea to dive the night before, found a dive guide with great efficiency, rented various diving equipment, and set sail with the guests, all the way south to the desirable diving area.

Although Yao Zhixia can swim, she has never dived into the water, and when she watched other guests dive, she was curious about what the underwater landscape was like, and she was a little afraid of the unknown ocean, so every time the guests dived, she wore a life jacket and sat on the side of the mast to look at the clear water.

The dive guide began to make a briefing after putting on various diving equipment for Lin Qingyu, Xue Rin, who has a lot of diving experience, after dressing himself, listened to the briefing while giving Lin Qingyu a final check, Lin Qingyu looked at Xue Rin's focused appearance, and didn't say much about this, but the careful and considerate man had more of a good impression.

"Directly below our boat is a coral reef terrain, the coral reef basically does not usually have a flow through, but we must pay attention to the fact that once we swim out of the southernmost part of the coral reef, there will be active tidal currents, so the two of you must pay attention not to just look at the scenery, not to pay attention to the direction and terrain, especially this young lady, must follow me, can not leave me half a step, Mr. Xue is more experienced, but don't be too far away from us, when the water is raised, there are many boats that come to this area to dive, you must pay attention to safety. ”

The dive guide gave his last instructions before going into the water, and helped Lin Qingyu to get into the water first to adapt to the water pressure, while Xue Rin went into the water alone behind.

Boss Liu, who stayed on the boat, waited for a long time, and when he saw that everything was okay underwater, he explained that Yao Zhixia, who was sitting on the side of the boat, had something to call him, and after saying that, he left the deck and went to the back kitchen to find Master Zhao to confirm the next meal.

When the dive guide took Lin Qingyu down to a depth of five or six meters, Lin Qingyu was a little uncomfortable, and she gestured to the dive guide, saying that she would stay in place for a while before diving.

After Xue Rin saw the gesture, he signaled to the dive guide and Lin Qingyu that he had no problem, he could continue to dive, and he would wait for them at a depth of about twenty meters.

After getting the approval of the dive guide, Xue Rin continued to sink steadily, and in the process of sinking, he vaguely felt that the current in this supposedly calm coral reef sea area was a little strangely unstable, but before there was any other abnormality, he stayed in place when the computer table showed a depth of twenty meters, waiting for the other two people.

The dive guide took Lin Qingyu and continued to dive for a few meters, and suddenly felt a stream of water enveloping him and Lin Qingyu, and Lin Qingyu was pushed by this sudden rapids and his whole body was so nervous that he trembled.

The dive guide is a lot calmer, it is a lateral flow, fortunately, the diving depth is not very deep, the dive guide immediately signaled Lin Qingyu to float, Lin Qingyu, who was already afraid, couldn't care so much, and immediately grabbed the dive guide upstream.

Yao Zhixia on the boat here couldn't believe his eyes, the sky was clear and clear one second, and the next second the sky suddenly turned dark, the vast sky pressed down like a black curtain, and the dense clouds in the distance flashed and thundered from time to time, and the sea began to rise and fall.

Yao Zhixia looked down in the direction of their dive, the originally clear sea water actually began to become turbid, just as Yao Zhixia shouted for Boss Liu to come over, the raindrops of beans had already smashed on the deck and the water as if they had been splashed, and the shouts of other ships and the sound of engines were heard all around.

Boss Liu heard the shout and hurriedly ran to the deck, and when he saw Yao Zhixia, who was already kneeling on the side of the boat and looking at the water, he immediately threw down the rope and stared at the water intently, ready to pull the three people up at any time.

The underwater surface here is still calm, and the dive guide took Lin Qingyu up to a position of five or six meters, signaling her to start a decompression stop, but he was very worried about Xue Rin, who was still below, so he motioned for Lin Qingyu to turn on the flashlight and wait for him in place.

The dive guide who was about to dive was hugged by Lin Qingyu, at this moment, the water suddenly began to roll, and white bubbles appeared around the two people, Lin Qingyu, who was already at a loss, did not let go at this time, and insisted on letting the dive guide take her to the surface first, the dive guide was helpless, so he had to use the fastest speed to resist the turbulence, dragging Lin Qingyu up.

Xue Rin, who was waiting at a depth of twenty meters, had been vigilantly watching his surroundings, but the school of fish that had been quiet just now suddenly began to scurry around him, and he also felt dizzy for a moment.

Xue Rin, who noticed that something was wrong, immediately began to float, and after climbing for a few seconds, he suddenly found that the white bubbles around him were dense, and he was immediately swept into the white columnar water, when he tried to break through the water flow by pushing his legs hard in the spinning of the sky, he realized that he had encountered a rare washing machine flow, so he bit the regulator tightly, trying his best to stay awake and calm in the violent rotation.

Looking at the weather and water surface, I'm afraid it's not a simple storm, it must be some part of the Pacific Ocean's crust that has squeezed and caused a tsunami!"

Yao Zhixia opened her mouth in shock when she heard the judgment of Boss Liu coming from the top of her head, she didn't care that she was already soaked, she pulled the rope, wanting to test whether anyone was holding it, and after a few seconds, when she felt a force pulling down, she quickly patted Boss Liu's calf hard, Boss Liu immediately understood, grabbed the rope and pulled it up, and Master Zhao, who was standing behind, also dragged it together.

The first to emerge from the water was Lin Qingyu, she had exhausted her strength, so she had to be held up by the diving guide, and the three people on the boat pulled Lin Qingyu, who was already paralyzed, to the deck, and the diving guide shouted in the water: "Lao Liu, hasn't Mr. Xue come up yet?

"I didn't see him, you hurry down to find him, there's a tsunami somewhere, it's very dangerous for us now, we have to leave quickly!" Boss Liu said anxiously as he buckled the rope to the equipment on the dive guide's waist.

"Okay, you guys should also pay attention to safety on the boat!, be careful of being hit into the water by the fast waves!" After the dive guide finished speaking, he dived again to find Xue Rin.

Xue Rin, who finally broke free in the turbulence, struggled to push his flippers upwards while adjusting the BCD for exhaust, and after rising a few meters, he glanced at the computer watch, 10 meters, it will be there soon!

When he was thinking that there were still five meters left to start a safe stop, a strong current stopped him and dragged him sideways for a few meters, he was afraid that he would drift farther and farther, so he immediately threw out a flow hook in the water that he could not recognize the direction, trying to hook the surrounding coral reefs, but the uncontrollable current that had been crazy pulled the current hook that hooked the coral reef off, and Xue Rin instantly was like a kite with a broken string, wrapped in the current and drifted farther into the unknown sea.

The people on the ship were already in a mess, Yao Zhixia helped Lin Qingyu into the cabin and then hurriedly ran to the deck, his eyes kept searching the surrounding sea, hoping to see the orange elephant that floated up, maybe it was Xue Rin's.

But the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the sea was already covered with a layer of white fog, and she couldn't help shouting over and over again: "Mr. Xue, Mr. Xue!" While shouting, she heard the shouting of Boss Liu sending an emergency signal in the cab and the humming of the radio.

Suddenly, Yao Zhixia saw a yellow elephant rising from the water, and she immediately called Master Zhao to run over and pull the rope together, but only the dive guide was exposed.

"The current is so fast, there is no way to dive anymore! If it weren't for the rope, I wouldn't be able to come back!" When Yao Zhixia heard the shouts of the dive guide, her mind went blank for a moment.

"Can't come back!"

Yao Zhixia repeated this cruel sentence in her mind, and after she helped the dive guide up, she went around the boat half a circle along the side of the boat, the hull of the boat was already shaking and she couldn't walk normally, she stared at the sea while holding on to the railing.

Just as she was concentrating on looking at the sea in the distance, a big wave swept in from the side of the stern and hit her straight, the railing wet by the sea water became very slippery, Yao Zhixia's body lost her balance, her hand also took off the railing, and she was directly swept back into the sea by the waves, fortunately, she was wearing a life jacket and was not immediately dragged underwater, but swallowed two mouthfuls of seawater.

Yao Zhixia, who was floating on the water, shouted for help, but everyone else was on the bow of the boat on the other side, and no one heard her shout.

It wasn't until Boss Liu walked out of the cab after calling for help that he suddenly found that Yao Zhixia was gone, and hurriedly called the other two people to look for him.

When Boss Liu saw Yao Zhixia's conspicuous life jacket, Yao Zhixia was already some distance away from the boat, and was helplessly following the sea water farther and farther.

Boss Liu hurriedly threw the lifebuoy with the rope in the direction of Yao Zhixia, and the lifebuoy was swept by the water like a motor approaching Yao Zhixia, Yao Zhixia saw the lifebuoy and quickly waved his arm, kicked his legs closer, and struggled to grab the lifebuoy.

Seeing this, Boss Liu immediately pulled back the rope of the lifebuoy little by little, but suddenly another big wave hit the entire deck, so that the hull of the ship almost overturned, and Boss Liu, who was bowing to the side of the boat, fell on the deck with an unstable center of gravity, and the rope in his hand was also collapsed, Boss Liu ignored the painful thigh bone, staggered up and wanted to take the rope back again, but when he grabbed the rope again, he found that the rope that had just collapsed had been completely broken under the force of the current! And Yao Zhixia, who was not very far from the hull of the ship, had disappeared into the vast sea.
