Chapter 42: Reaping the Breath of Life

When I mustered up the last of my courage and returned to the sea, exhausted to death, half-leaning back in the waves like a dead dog, if a kind old mother said to me, "Young man, don't sleep here!" There is danger! How ridiculous!

I waited anxiously for Captain Ji to surface, although I was in a hurry, there was no other way, this was not a crystal clear swimming pool, I could easily spot him and drag him to the surface, even though I was exhausted. I knew he must have been badly wounded, and it would have been fatal to be thrown by the tail of that mighty beast! It's still in the water, if it's in the air, then it's okay, maybe it's only a direct human flesh "bun filling"!

Suddenly, a huge surprise rushed straight to my brain, almost knocking me out, our great Captain Ji Yunkai actually rushed out of the water and appeared in front of me alive, we are all alive, this is more important than anything else.

Our captain Ji Yunkai was thirty meters in front of me on the right, and he actually waved his hand to me, but I knew that this might be his last bit of strength, and he did not hesitate to "overdraw" the precious energy in his body in order to send me a signal of peace.

We suddenly swam desperately towards each other, and even though we were exhausted, we did it anyway, even at the cost of what was left of our strength to continue fighting the ocean. This is friendship, a deep friendship accumulated on the battlefield of blood and fire!

The sun had not yet risen, the sea was still gray, and we had been hugging each other tightly since we found the huge undersea overlord, and it was definitely not more than three and a half minutes. In this short three and a half minutes, our dear Captain Ji Yunkai and I experienced the baptism of life and death. At this point, God probably opened his kind eyes again and nodded in satisfaction, which may be the result he wanted. Either side has a casualty, it will hurt his benevolent heart, because we, after all, are all his children.

"Does shark blood taste good?" After we finished hugging, I lightly teased our Captain Ji, wanting to relieve the depression in my heart.

Unexpectedly, Captain Ji's face suddenly became solemn, and he looked behind me: "Don't move!" And one more! ”

My scalp exploded, my brain was congested, and I quickly turned my head away, but I looked at it for a long time, and I didn't find the figure of that thing, wouldn't it be even more terrifying for a shark to attack underwater!

At this time, there was Captain Ji's exaggerated laughter behind him. I silently turned around and gave him a blank look: "Can we not make such a deadly joke?" ”

"What are you afraid of! We've got experience wrestling with that beast, and if it's out of ten, it's not enough for you to clean it up alone, so I'll be the referee. "My heart was also suddenly relieved, it seems that our Captain Ji was not injured multiple times, otherwise he would not be full of fun.

I could see that he didn't lie to me, it was very dangerous to hide his injuries on the battlefield, he would miss the best time for treatment, and he would die. Obviously, our Captain Ji won't, he knows this better than me, and now that we're basically safe, there's no need for him to hide his injuries.

We rested on our backs on the sea for more than ten minutes, and our strength recovered a little, now is not the time to rest, we are still about two hours away from the land, and the animal has dragged us far into the deep sea just now, and it is enough for us to row for more than half an hour in one minute! Besides, we were exhausted, and to make matters worse, we didn't have surfboards, and now we were carrying about 20 kilograms of stuff on our backs, so the next two hours of paddling would be extremely difficult. Now that our bodies are empty, the little beef from last night has long since been consumed. However, no matter how difficult it is, we have to go, after all, we are two "stowaways", and it will be dawn in two hours, and it will be difficult to be discovered by the fisherman who gets up early to fish, so we must go ashore within two hours, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

We reoriented ourselves through the positioning system on our watch and started setting off again. As we swam we talked about the thrilling ocean fight we had just had, to cushion the fatigue of the journey. My original guess was correct, just as I plunged the surfboard into the beast's mouth, Captain Ji immediately rushed towards the huge back of the beast, but unfortunately, the guy, with his maritime sensitivity that has evolved for many years, sensed that someone was attacking it, and it suddenly swung its huge tail and swept it on Captain Ji's side, and the huge force like an excavator knocked Captain Ji out in an instant, and the rope between us transmitted that huge force to me, and the sharp dagger inserted into its body, I couldn't bear that kind of force at all, and I was pulled out of the air, and by the way, I slashed a half-meter-long, ten-centimeter-deep hole in the animal's gills. It was also Captain Ji who was lucky, he carried the clothes and other necessities on his back when we went ashore, which greatly alleviated the huge force, and he was in the water, so he was almost not injured, our Captain Ji's ability to resist the attack was super strong, even then, he was still beaten for a long time without relieving himself. It wasn't until I fought with the animal for the second time that he rushed over to help me, he used the rope between us to determine my position, grabbed my legs, and I also used sit-ups to send him directly to the animal's lower abdomen, and also gave him, like me, the opportunity to dig out the breath of life hidden in that huge **. He was even more agile than I was, and he directly punched a few bowling holes in the beast's abdomen with his gun, and opened the gap with his five fingers, which were not weaker than mine, and reached into the animal's body, and began to harvest the breath of life in a frenzy. Where could that undersea overlord endure such severe pain, he created the "ten-magnitude earthquake", and saw that he couldn't get rid of us, so he fled in a panic, and was dragged into the bottomless abyss with us.

Captain Ji and I were separated from the body of the beast almost at the same time, and now it seemed that my hasty kick was purely superfluous, but it was not expected that our rope was actually wrapped around the body of the animal, and the two of us almost at the same time thought of the extremely serious problem, which must not be taken away by the huge pressure of water. We cut the rope almost at the same time, but it was so fast that we didn't even feel it.

We paddled through the sea for nearly two more hours before finally seeing the land we had always dreamed of. Our feet were almost ready to step on the sand below, and we were ecstatic. We all know that we have successfully completed the first step of our mission: smuggling.

When the sun was rising, we were like turtles squatting in the water, stepping on the fine sand of the shallow water and constantly approaching the shore, and the water level gradually dropped with the movement, so the captain and I lowered our bodies until the frog lay down under the thick seaweed accumulated along the coast, looked up at the island and observed for a while, and when we saw that there was no one around, we rushed to the shore with our waists bent over, and quickly squatted behind a pile of reefs. We quickly took off our swimsuits and checked each other's bodies, and found no signs of bites from sea creatures, so we slowly cleaned up our hair and ears, especially our hair, which had penetrated into a lot of sand and broken algae during this time in the shallow sea. When everything was in order, we couldn't stand the hunger anymore, and at the same time opened the package and looked for the high-energy food inside to replenish the already empty stomach. We lie on a relatively flat sand, adjust our breathing, and allow our strength to recover quickly, and we need to recover to the best state in the shortest possible time for more complicated situations. We all know that the human-shark fight just now is just an accidental "warm-up match", and the following tasks will definitely be even more dangerous!

After another ten minutes of rest, and now it was past half past six in the morning, we began to pack our gear, put the necessary things in our travel bags, and carried them on our bodies, useless things, including oxygen cylinders and our wetsuit waterproof masks, etc., we dug two pits in the sand, and buried them scattered. It doesn't matter if ordinary people find out, I'm afraid that it will be discovered by those special people, which will bring us huge trouble, after all, now the country's voice is rising, the battle for the islands is already on the bow, in order to compete with China, we are now very close to country M and country R, our nuclear physicists were kidnapped by the underworld in their country, maybe it is the authorities who instructed it is also an inaccurate thing. Therefore, we must be extremely careful every step of the way, once something happens, it is our personal matter, and it has nothing to do with the country, otherwise it will escalate into a "diplomatic" incident.

We dressed ourselves up as tourists and put a long trench coat on the outside, so that the clothes inside could be blocked and not attract the attention of some "discerning people". Each has a pair of eyes on their noses, giving people the feeling of scholars who have gone abroad for research. Now that the day is already bright and the fishermen have packed up their things and are ready to go to sea, we can't stay here anymore, we have to contact the relevant personnel of our embassy as soon as possible, and get the necessary replenishment from there in order to deal with all kinds of complicated situations.

After we had packed up, each carrying a small bag on our backs, we were waiting for us at the ordinary fishermen's point, and we had to rush over as soon as possible, and after getting the necessary replenishment, we immediately went to carry out the real "mission".
