Chapter 31: The Shark
"I like a sentence very much, I can take it out and encourage you ......" Shi Shaoying's tone was not very sharp, but at this moment, when he heard Mr. Z's ears, it was really like a knife: "How wide the heart is, how wide the world is!" ”
The light-brained boy, who had been watching the contest from the standpoint of a bystander, suddenly sighed softly, with a bored expression on his face. Of course, he could see that although Mr. Z was still smiling and still maintained an impeccable demeanor and temperament, his heartbeat accelerated a few beats in an instant, obviously stabbed by Shi Shaoying's words in the most secret position in his heart. People like this, no matter how high their IQ is, they are limited by their own energy, and they don't have the freedom and agility of the sky and the birds flying and the fish swimming, no matter how hard they try, they are not qualified to become the research object of the light-brain boy.
When Shi Shaoying and the others entered the "examination room", he finally knew why Mr. Z gave him a "simple exam question", and the captains around him looked at him with such strange expressions on their faces.
They only carried a fighting saber on their bodies, but all other weapons were left on the boat, and after all of them jumped into the sea, several staff members of the organizing committee of the competition took out more than a dozen barrels of chopped sea fish and dumped them all into the sea, and some people deliberately poured a few bottles of spirits into the sea.
Smelling the strong smell of wine in the air, looking at the bloodshot that had drifted to their side and surrounded them, Shi Shaoying's pupils kept shrinking. Even people who don't have common sense should know that in the sea, once the body is injured and bleeding, it is easy to attract sharks.
Seeing the danger, Hua Hu's voice began to tremble slightly: "Brother, let's swim out of this sea area quickly, I think it won't be long before a shark comes." ”
"Do you think Mr. Z will give us a chance to withdraw from the exam?"
Shi Shaoying's gaze jumped over the sea sprinkled with minced fish and fell on the two yachts that had just sent them here not far away, "The reason why they stayed there and didn't leave was not to let us board the boat in three hours and bring us towels and hot coffee. They prepare far more than a dozen barrels of minced fish, and no matter which direction we swim, they are constantly stocking us with new minced meat. Instead of exerting their physical strength and letting them enjoy the pleasure of cat and mouse, it is better to stay here and find a way to get through it together. ”
Ignoring the flower fox whose face was as pale as paper, Shi Shaoying said categorically: "Pei Tongtong, you are the one who knows the most about survival at sea among us, and you have also dealt with sharks after falling into the sea, what good way do you have to deal with sharks?" ”
"There are about 325 known shark species worldwide, and only 20 of them attack humans. The four most dangerous of these are the great white shark, the mako shark, the tiger shark and the hammerhead shark, while some other sharks that can also attack humans are the blue shark, gray shark, lemon sand, horn shark, bull shark, and whitenose shark, and sharks in tropical and subtropical waters have proven to be more aggressive than their temperate counterparts. ”
Pei Tongtong said in a deep voice: "Unfortunately, we are in the most aggressive sea area of sharks, sharks have a very sensitive sense of smell, and the blood and alcohol in the water will make them directly excited, and directly attack all the targets of activity on the sea." ”
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
There were suddenly several explosions not far away, watching the staff of the organizing committee of the competition throw a few grenades into the sea, blowing up a few waves, Hua Hu's eyes widened in confusion, "What are they doing?" ”
"They're afraid we're not dying fast enough and they're trying to help us."
Pei Tongtong narrowed his eyes slightly, "Sharks are sensitive to smells, and the distance is limited, in fact, what they are most sensitive to is sound." Sounds that rarely appear in the sea, such as the sound waves from the explosion of a grenade, can make sharks curious, and the sound is more likely to make sharks gather around us than the smell of blood. If I hadn't miscalculated, within ten minutes, the sharks would have come. ”
Squint suddenly whispered at this time: "Look at yourselves! ”
Everyone looked in the direction of their squinted fingers, and as far as their eyes could reach, they could clearly see that a shocking triangular fin, exposed to the sea, was approaching them at a speed. There is no need to wait another ten minutes, attracted by both blood and sound waves, the shark is already here!
"We're in big trouble," Pei Tongtong's face was as gloomy as water, and she whispered in a voice that only she and Shi Shaoying could hear: "That's the Grey Tip Shark!" ”
Hearing the words "graytip shark", even Shi Shaoying's heart sank.
In terms of size, graytip sharks are nowhere near as large as great white sharks, but they can still grow up to four meters long and weigh up to 500 kilograms, and humans simply can't compete with them in the sea without the support of heavy weapons. The sharks are at the top of the list of threats to humans because of their ferocious and cruel temperament, and it is said that their young will eat their poorly developed siblings in their mother's womb to strengthen their bodies. And they have amazing jumping power, sprinting at full speed in the water, even exceeding 90 kilometers, for humans, this is a limit speed that is impossible to cross on their own.
In the face of such a terrifying sea hunter with speed, strength and cruelty, Shi Shaoying and them were all soaked in blood, and if they wanted to pass the level with their own strength, the possibility could only be said to be infinitely close to zero.
The most terrifying thing is that in Pei Tongtong's memory, this kind of shark rarely hunts prey alone, they like to swim in the sea in groups, once anyone among them finds prey, they will send a message to their companions in their own unique way, and all the nearby gray fin sand will quickly gather to attack the target.
In other words, they're likely to be dealing with a pod of graytip sharks!
Pei Tongtong commanded everyone to form a circular defensive circle on the sea, theoretically speaking, this can prevent shark attacks better than fighting separately, and even if there is a shark attack, several people resist together, and the chance of survival is higher. Although, this chance of survival is pitifully small.
"Remember, if you do get attacked by a shark, don't panic and don't try to turn around and run away. In the sea, even a world swimming champion can never swim faster than a shark, the first thing you have to do is to follow the way I am, put your fingers together, bend them slightly to form a cup, and then hit the surface of the water hard, which will make a loud noise and may scare the shark away. ”
"If the sharks refuse to retreat and still attack you, and you want to survive, the last thing you have left is to clench your fist and slam it under their gills or eyes, only then can you damage them. If your fist hits a shark's nose, chances are your fist will slip and fall on their teeth and end up injuring yourself! ”
Pei Tongtong was quickly telling everyone around her about the knowledge of survival at sea that she had learned in the Marine Corps, but even in her heart, the instructor, she didn't have the slightest sense of security, she couldn't imagine how they, who were surrounded by blood but didn't have enough weapons, could defeat a group of sharks in the sea that were more agile than cheetahs and were stimulated by blood and became completely excited with bayonets or combat sabers.
Once there are casualties among them, the screams and struggles of the human beings before they die, and the blood that flows, will stimulate more sharks, making them more crazy and others more dangerous. And so on and so forth, until all of them died tragically under the shark's teeth.
This is simply an unsolvable loop, and Mr. Z said that this is a simple exam question, but there is nothing wrong with it. A question that is so simple that it doesn't need to be considered at all, it doesn't need to be chosen, and it's infinitely close to the annihilation of the whole army!
A group of people gathered on the sea, looking at the familiar faces, Pei Tongtong suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour. She had trained them on the training ground for four months with an almost cruel method, and these people did not know how much blood, sweat and tears flowed on the training ground, when they finally completed the training course and cheered for it together, although Pei Tongtong was still trying to keep a straight face, but deep down, she was proud and proud of the achievements of these students.
She really thought that under the leadership of Shi Shaoying, these children from all over the world, gathered in Somalia for various reasons, would definitely play a sky of their own, even if they participated in the "Sea Athletic Competition", knowing that they would have to face unpredictable strong enemies, she still firmly believed that as long as they could join hands and heart to heart, they would definitely be able to overcome difficulties and laugh together to the end.
But who would have thought that in this arena where there are no rules, let alone mercy, they are destined to collapse and die miserably in the first qualifier.
And the reason for their total annihilation turned out to be...... When they faced the crazy siege of man-eating ants on the island, they didn't kill a few people, satisfying the darkest psychological needs of those VIP audiences, and their unity and unyielding made those people feel even more dazzling.
Such a reason is too ironic, right?!
The indescribable unyielding unwillingness surged into Pei Tongtong's heart, but manpower is sometimes poor, and she really doesn't know what method she should use to lead these people to complete this exam alive.
Under their silent gaze, more and more sharks converged around them, and finally settled on the number "seven". Seeing them wandering around, probably pounced at any time, Pei Tongtong's body suddenly trembled uncontrollably. She had been attacked by a shark in the sea, how could she forget the piercing pain that the shark brought when it bit her body and tore off a muscle?
