Chapter 3: Falling into the Sea

Li Hao struggled to keep his body on the side of the cruise ship, because it would be easier to see if anyone had jumped off the ship.

"Will there be a whirlpool when the cruise ship sinks? Will it take us down? Madanya suddenly asked worriedly, her voice trembling, not frozen by the sea, obviously panicked.

She didn't care about her fiancé on the boat, she was just worried about her current situation, which is psychologically explained by people who are extremely panicked.

"No, the cruise ship space is not so dense, the sinking speed should be relatively slow, and its current location is far away from here, so it will not harm us, but the people inside will depend on their creation if they live." After Li Hao finished speaking, he looked around, because there was an unknown person on the cruise ship who was on the same line as him, and that was a colleague and a partner.

As soon as Li Hao's words fell, the Estee Danlan cruise ship suddenly spun rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, the bottom of the ship could only be seen in the low-lying part of the waves.

It was a tsunami that stirred the currents and created a huge whirlpool!

Li Hao hurriedly grabbed Ma Danya's life-saving suit.

Ma Danya looked at Li Hao with wide eyes.

"The whirlpool at the bottom of the sea sucked the cruise ship in!" Li Hao understood the meaning of her eyes, said a word, and quickly pulled her to swim in the opposite direction, away from the direction of the sunken ship.

The whirlpool that can devour tens of thousands of cruise ships, there is no need to think about how powerful it will be, not only Ma Danya, Li Hao understands its horror even more.

Madanya panicked again, her hands flickering.

Thankfully, with the cruise ship as a reference, it's still far enough away, and if a huge whirlpool rolls up around the sea without warning, there is a good chance that there will be no chance of survival.

The scattered debris around the two of them gradually followed the rotating trajectory and surged towards the middle of the whirlpool with the seawater, and the water flow instantly became very turbulent.

"Can we escape this again?" Madanya's voice trembled a little, and she used the word again, because she now understood that the person next to her, whose name was not yet known, had been right to tell her not to enter the cabin.

"Don't talk, do your best, we can do it!" Li Hao replied in an affirmative tone.

It's not just about comforting her, it's also about cheering herself up.

Madanya knew that her presence would drag down the person around her, and she should not slack off in the frequency of her hand strokes.

However, it didn't take long for her hand speed to slow down, and swimming in the pool took her too much energy, and she couldn't coordinate her physical strength in the panic in the sea.

Li Hao saw that her eyes were a little desperate.

"It's okay, you lie down and pedal, rest your hands for a while, I'll pull you, don't worry, I won't leave you alone!" Li Hao comforted her again, pulling the back collar of her bodyguard and swimming forward.

After paddling for a long time, the speed of the sea water slowly became gentle, and without the previous turbulence, Li Hao let go of the parapet that was pulling Ma Danya.

Ma Danya turned to look at Li Hao.

"It's okay, you see what's floating in the sea is just going with the flow, we should have reached a safe range outside the whirlpool!" Li Hao smiled.

Madanya also smiled, grateful, but a little apologetic, all she thought in her heart was that she was let go by him and given up by him.

Li Hao's eyes didn't stay on her face too much, nor did he speculate on her thoughts, just looked around.

"Are you looking for a land, an island or something?" Madanya thought he was looking for a safe place to land.

"Conserve your stamina first!" Li Hao replied.

"Oh! Haven't you been a sailor before, you should have experience! Madanya replied, still puzzled.

"Look at the sky!" Li Hao raised his head.

At this time, the sky was cloudy and the sea breeze was strong.

Ma Danya hurriedly swam to Li Hao's side, one hand tightly clasping his arm, and now the man beside her was her only patron god.

It rains 100 percent of the time in the area after an earthquake on land, and sometimes it happens in the ocean.

The original plan was to approach the girl at her wedding, not expecting the tsunami to bind her alone.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, Li Hao's face was getting heavier and heavier, and it seemed that there were more dangers waiting for them in the volatile ocean.

"It's you, you said that these life jackets were prepared for us to fall into the water, and now they are really used!" Madanya spoke with a coquettish reproach, she saw that the face of the person in front of her was getting worse and worse, and she was worried that he would not take her, and her tone was so weak that she could only hear it carefully.

What she didn't know was that Li Hao would not give up on her.

"What's your name?" Li Hao didn't answer what she said above, and asked, which was the opening remarks of everyone's official acquaintance.

"What about you, Madanya?" Madanya's arms tightened as she spoke.

Burmese people have no name or surname, and usually have an article in front of their name to indicate gender, age, and identity and status. Myanmar women, whether married or not, generally add the word 'Ma' in front of their names, and she calls herself 'Ma Danya', but in fact, her name is Tanya, which is the same two words as Estee Danlan Cruises.

After some time, Li Hao learned that Estee Danlan Cruises originally wanted to use Danya, and the reason for this was only later understood.

"Li Hao." After answering, Li Hao strengthened the life jacket strap on her body.

With two sets of life jackets on her body, she doesn't have to worry about the buoyancy of her slender body, and she is afraid that if she soaks in the sea for too long, not only her, but also herself will lose her mobility.

As the sun sets in the west, not only will the sea be cold, but even the rain in the sky will be cold, and it is only a matter of time before the body freezes and loses its mobility, and it is the most important thing to be rescued or go ashore before sunset.

The sky was getting darker and darker, dark clouds shrouded the sky, and the eyes gradually dimmed, and in an instant, strong winds mixed with bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky.

"Open your mouth wide!" Li Hao held Ma Danya's backsliding.

"What for?" Madanya spat out a mouthful of seawater that had been knocked into her mouth by the waves.

"Drink some rain from the sky, without water, you and I can't stay up for long, what do you think you are doing?"

Li Hao watched as Ma Danya's small mouth tried to open to the maximum, and turned his head embarrassedly.

"What are you thinking?" Madanya slapped him on the head with a free hand.

"Didn't think anything?" Li Hao replied.

At this time, I still want to think about other things, Li Hao can't wait to beat her back.

"Then if you don't drink some yourself, it's up to you whether I can be rescued or not!" Ma Danya said coquettishly.

Just as Li Hao raised his head and stuck out his tongue to catch some rain, small waves flashed not far away.

Madanya also looked at that place after noticing Li Hao's eyes.

"Is it a shark?" Madanya tensed up again and wrapped her arms around him with both hands.

"No, it's a person, it must be on a cruise ship." Li Hao was just about to paddle over there but was dragged by Ma Danya, she was worried.

"It's a survivor, it looks like there's a sofa chair under him, maybe it's the one I'm walking on!" Li Hao's latter sentence was teasing, in order to let Ma Danya relax, and then dragged Ma Danya again and struggled to row there.

At this time, the wind and waves were stronger, and I couldn't get closer, but I could still vaguely distinguish that it was a girl, wearing a dealer's uniform.

The girl was not wearing a life jacket, lying on the sofa with half of her shoulders slightly exposed, and the sofa chair at this time only showed a small corner.

The sofa cushions couldn't bear her body after they were soaked, and even if she could swim, she wouldn't be able to last long in such weather.

Li Hao slapped the water with both hands to attract her attention.

In fact, that girl should have seen them a long time ago, and people always look around when they are desperate.

Li Hao slapped the sea water to make her watch her movements intently, because he had already unbuttoned a life jacket.

"One more life jacket, one more chance of survival!" Ma Danya shouted loudly to Li Hao.

"She is the same, she can't die without help!" Li Hao ignored Ma Danya and struggled to throw the life jacket at the dealer girl at the right time.

The girl smiled in gratitude as she quickly paddled downwind of the life jacket's landing point.

People who have been on the boat are very familiar with life jackets, Li Hao watched the other party skillfully put on and beckoned to her, signaling everyone to move closer to the middle, together will be a lot of insurance after all, especially in the unpredictable sea.

The rain became heavier and heavier, crackling and hitting their heads, and the dark clouds in the sky gradually became more and more, like dyed ink, and a gust of wind swept them farther away, and even Ma Danya was almost out of the reach of Li Hao's arm.

Ma Danya gulped out the seawater that had choked into her mouth, and in a panic, she grabbed Li Hao again with both hands and held on tightly.

Looking at the place where the dealer girl looked, the sea breeze blew there without a figure.

At least, at least she won't sink to the bottom so easily, at least the safety factor has been greatly improved, Li Hao repeated at least two words in his heart.

Ma Danya muttered in Li Hao's ear.

"What do you say? I didn't hear clearly! Li Hao raised his voice and said.

"I said you are a good person, and if you save me, you saved the girl just now!" Madanya also said loudly, with not only tears but also fear in her eyes.

There are many levels of fear, and generally the fear of the thing itself. The real fear is feeling that you are not equipped to cope with the current situation.

Li Hao smiled, it's still a little early to say that he was saved, but it is inappropriate to say frustrating words in this atmosphere.

Before dark, you must find a place where you can stand, even if it is only a small place away from the sea, you can stand, otherwise you can't save others, and you can't save yourself.

I don't know how long it took to drift with the currents and strong winds, but the rain gradually subsided, and after a while it finally stopped.

Li Hao doesn't know if he is drifting to the land now, or drifting farther into the depths of the ocean, if the tsunami touches the cruise ship in the latitude of the earth, the ocean current should carry them closer to the land, but if he is blown into the middle of the Bay of Bengal by the wind, it is completely possible that he will be swept into the Indian Ocean.

"Are we closer to land?" Madanya's eyes were flustered.

"I don't know yet, wait for the clouds to clear and then look at our position, anyway, we have to leave the water before dark, but don't worry, I will always take you." Li Hao tried his best to correct his body and turn his face to the leeward side, so as to reduce the amount of seawater entering his nose and eyes.

Ma Danya nodded vigorously, and with one hand swiped the sea water to line up her body with Li Hao.

Li Hao felt that her hands were already cold, and her body was trembling.

The dark clouds in the sky had been waiting for a long time to disperse, but by this time the sun was almost below the horizon.

In the dark, there will always be an inexplicable fear, which psychologically has nothing to do with the level of fear.
