258. Accident

This shark that suddenly appeared almost killed us, you know, divers are very fragile under the sea, once the oxygen tube is cut, then I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape.

So even if we didn't get hurt by the shark bite, we still checked our diving equipment as soon as the accident was over.

Uncle Mei and I checked each other, and Yu Xiaobo and Ma Hailong checked each other.

Uncle Mei's equipment is safe, there are no gaps, my diving equipment is also normal, Uncle Mei gave me a thumbs up, indicating that there is no problem.

However, when the two of us checked each other and turned our heads to look at Yu Xiaobo and Ma Hailong, we saw that something was wrong with the two of them.

Yu Xiaobo and Ma Hailong had complicated expressions, no one looked at us, Ma Hailong was stunned in place, and Yu Xiaobo kept patting him on the shoulder, as if he was comforting something.

I quickly swam over to take a look, and then I sighed in my heart!

I saw that there was nothing wrong with Yu Xiaobo's equipment, it was normal from top to bottom, but Ma Hailong's oxygen tube was constantly bubbling out, and it was obvious that Ma Hailong's oxygen tube was broken!

This "umbilical cord", which is related to the life of divers, has been cut like this!

I just think it's strange, with Ma Hailong's sophisticated experience and such a steady personality, how could he break the "umbilical cord"?

After thinking about it again, I suddenly realized that maybe it was during the fight with the shark just now, Ma Hailong accidentally rubbed it, which caused the rupture of this oxygen tube.

Once the "umbilical cord" is broken, the oxygen in the oxygen cylinder will be quickly lost, and at the speed at which we float, it is likely that we will suffocate before we can swim back to the water.

In this case, Ma Hailong was simply sentenced to death!

His expression was very ugly, and I could see through the glass of the diving mask that his face was like dead ash.

At this time, Yu Xiaobo was more calm, and he pointed to the water, meaning to ask Ma Hailong not to delay time and hurry up.

In this case, every minute and second is very precious, and if he moves fast enough, he may still survive.

Ma Hailong is also a veteran after all, and he quickly calmed down, he nodded, and prepared to leave the cave and go up to the sea.

At this time, Yu Xiaobo dragged him again, pointed to his backpack, and motioned for him to leave the weight behind.

Although Ma Hailong's backpack is full of priceless treasures, especially the night pearl, which can be said to be the best of the night pearls we found, but compared with the small life, these are meaningless at all.

Even if you don't have your life, who else will you spend the money on?

So Ma Hailong didn't say a word, he directly took off the backpack and handed it to Yu Xiaobo, who immediately took the backpack, put it on his body, and then made a cheering gesture to Ma Hailong.

Ma Hailong hurriedly swam up without looking back, starting this race against time.

If he wins, he can pick up a life in this sea, and if he loses, then he may have to stay here forever.

Looking at Ma Hailong's back, I finally understood how dangerous it is to do this business, every treasure we salvage, it is fished with life.

Especially before going to the sea, we don't have any guarantees, if we die, we die, and we don't even have compensation, and it's not an exaggeration to say that this is really a deal to pin your head to the waistband of your pants.

After Ma Hailong walked away, I couldn't help but check my oxygen tube, probably because of the psychological effect, I always felt that my oxygen tube was also leaking, and I was running out.

Uncle Mei and Yu Xiaobo thought the same thing, and the three of us checked each other again, and it turned out that we had thought too much, and our oxygen pipes were very safe.

In retrospect, Ma Hailong was indeed hit head-on by the shark at that time, and his "umbilical cord" was probably split at that time, but I just saw that the crack on his "umbilical cord" was very neat, not like it was suddenly opened, but like it was cut with a knife.

Anyway, I don't know what the truth of the matter is, and the only thing to do now is to bring these treasures safely.

After all, this backpack may contain property worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

After that, we didn't go any deeper, because we were already satisfied with these night pearls.

We returned the same way we had come and came to the sunken ship of Ayutthaya.

When I came outside, I suddenly remembered the porcelain jar I found before, although I found the night pearl, this porcelain jar may not be so important, but after all, it is also a valuable treasure, I can't do without.

As a result, I returned to the position where I originally put the porcelain jar, and when I looked down, I saw that the jar was suddenly gone!

It just disappeared out of thin air, and I saw that when I buried it just now, the traces left by the mud and sand were still there, and I could still see the shape of a porcelain jar, but the porcelain jar was gone.

I wondered in my heart, could it be that someone came here just now, took the sheep by the hand, and took my porcelain jar away?

This should be the only possibility, anyway, my jar, can't I run away with long legs, right?

But now that I have the Night Pearl, I don't particularly care about this porcelain jar, this thing itself is a burden, I have to hold it in my arms like an ancestor, and when I hold it, I can still hear the cry of a child, which is strange.

Losing this porcelain jar is a good thing for me.

After the three of us got out of the cabin, I saw that the other divers had already returned one after another, and their backpacks were very full, which showed that there were indeed a lot of treasures on this Ayutthaya wreck, enough for them to catch a lot of money.

Yu Xiaobo pointed to the cabin, seeing that he meant to ask us if we should search other cabins, maybe we were lucky, and it was not necessary to be able to pick up the leak.

But after the incident of Ma Hailong, Uncle Mei and I were heartbroken, and we didn't want to make any more extraneous branches, so we pointed to the sea and motioned to go back now.

Yu Xiaobo respected us very much this time, nodded, and led us upstream.

At this time, the sun also came out, and the sunlight poured on the sea, and the bottom of the sea was a little brighter than before.

In the process of going up, I have been looking for Ma Hailong's shadow, and I am very worried about him, afraid that he will die.

Although we had only come into contact once, we also developed a strong revolutionary friendship, and he was my comrade-in-arms and my friend.

However, after we returned to the fishing boat, we searched around the deck and cabin, but we never found any trace of Ma Hailong, it seems that the reality is not as idealistic as the movie, and Ma Hailong does not have the aura of the protagonist.

In the end, he did not survive.
