There was no visible fence between the blue hole's waters and normal waters, but the invisible electric fence was even more intimidating.
Gu Nianzhi broke out and immediately swam to the surface.
This time, there was no blue-violet electric arc above her head. She stuck her head out of the sea, took off her diving mask, and let out a long sigh of relief.
There was a burst of cheers from the nearby docked ships and yachts. They were all happy that someone had finally escaped from the terrifying blue-violet electric arc.
Gu Nianzhi heard everyone's cheers and even reached out to wave at them.
At that moment, everyone forgot where they stood and whether they were on the same side. Everyone was just happy that someone had broken through the limits of the human body and achieved an impossible goal.
It was like the Olympic Games, where people pursued "higher, faster, and stronger." Every time a world record was set, everyone was happy for the athlete who broke it.
He Zhichu's hands gripped the railing of the ship tightly, and his heart was in his throat.
Seeing that Gu Nianzhi had successfully escaped, his tense expression slowly relaxed.
"… Send a lifeboat down and tell the emergency doctor to bring a first aid kit to the boat and be on standby." He Zhichu said as he turned around and followed her into the lifeboat.
Gu Nianzhi raised her head above the surface of the sea and closed her eyes. She sniffed and took a few deep breaths of fresh air.
She had never realized that naturally existing fresh air made people feel so good. It was truly the ultimate reliance of life.
A small, fully-equipped lifeboat stopped not far from her. He Zhichu stood on the lifeboat and reached out to her. "Nianzhi, come here."
Gu Nianzhi blinked. Brother Ze had been unconscious for so long, so he really needed immediate medical attention. Otherwise, it would be bad if his brain was damaged …
Brother Ze was so smart and capable. She still had a lot of computer and internet knowledge to ask him.
Gu Nianzhi paddled to the small lifeboat where He Zhichu was. She climbed onto the side of the lifeboat and said to He Zhichu, "Professor He, Brother Ze fainted at the bottom of the sea. I don't know how he's doing right now. Can you do me a favor and lend me your doctor to take a look at him after I rescue him?"
Gu Nianzhi's large, lively eyes darted between He Zhichu and the doctor with the large first aid kit on his back.
He Zhichu's smile faded and he reached out to her this time. "Come up. You've been in the sea for too long. It's not good for your health."
Gu Nianzhi clung to the side of the boat and begged softly with a smile, "Okay? Okay? Professor He, can you do me a favor? "
He Zhichu hadn't seen Gu Nianzhi act coquettishly in front of him in a long time. His heart was filled with excitement as he leaned forward to grab her wrist. Exerting strength with both arms, he actually managed to pull her out of the water.
Gu Nianzhi needed He Zhichu's help, so she obediently allowed herself to be dragged onto the lifeboat.
The doctors and nurses behind He Zhichu quickly stepped forward and wrapped Gu Nianzhi in a large blanket.
Gu Nianzhi said anxiously, "I still have to go down to save people! Professor He, could you please wait? "
"Since you can come out, why would I need you to save me?" He Zhichu glanced at her coldly and turned to his subordinates. "Get someone to go down to the sea immediately. Did you see the place she came out from? If we dive over there, we'll be able to enter the blue hole and save them. "
That way, they could avoid the violet electric arcs on the surface of the blue hole.
Those people had seen Gu Nianzhi emerge from the bottom of the blue hole. Seeing that a little girl like her was fine, they were all grown men. It was even more unlikely that something had happened to her.
A strong sailor was the first to dive into the water and swim towards the place Gu Nianzhi had come out from. Then two or three sailors also dived into the sea and swam in that direction.
Gu Nianzhi was extremely grateful that people were helping her save people. She kept bowing and thanking them.
He Zhichu put his hands in his trouser pockets and couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled her over and placed her in front of him. His shimmering, sultry eyes were cold. "Why are you thanking them? Would they have gone if I hadn't asked them to? "
"Of course I have to thank Professor He even more." Gu Nianzhi quickly thanked He Zhichu and coaxed him with sweet words. "But I'm so close to Professor He, so it's too formal to thank him. They're not close to me. Although they're listening to Professor He, I'm still grateful that they were able to dive into the sea to save people. "
He Zhichu looked at her big, round eyes as she spoke and knew that she was trying to make him happy with her insincere words. However, the fact that she was willing to make him happy now was already much better than how she used to avoid him, wasn't it?
He Zhichu's expression relaxed slightly. He asked her, "… Are you hungry?"
"Yes! How can I not be hungry! I'm so hungry that I can eat a Manchu-Han imperial feast! "Gu Nianzhi gestured exaggeratedly and even used sign language.
He Zhichu was speechless.
He turned around and ordered someone to bring a crab patty sandwich. "Eat it and see if you like it."
Gu Nianzhi's eyes were fixed on the people who had gone to the blue hole to save people. She took the sandwich from He Zhichu and took a bite. Only then did she realize that it was her favorite crab patty sandwich.
"I really have to thank Professor He for finding such a delicious crab patty." Gu Nianzhi's eyes crinkled into crescents as she quickly used a small napkin to pad her hand and finish the small crab sandwich.
She had just finished the crab patty sandwich and wiped her hands with a wet tissue when she heard a loud cry from the blue hole where she had just come from.
Looking up, she saw that of the three sailors who had just gone into the sea to save people, two had already fainted and were being dragged out of the sea by the third person.
The man surfaced and used all his strength to call for help in their direction.
He Zhichu's people had already quickly gone into the sea and swam in that direction.
In the end, not only did they fail to save people, but they also had to be rescued by others.
The three sailors returned to the lifeboat, and the one who hadn't fainted told everyone about the situation in the sea.
"… The three of us swam to the place where she emerged and dove into the sea, but the electric shock there was still very strong! The two of them swam in first, and as soon as they reached the border, they immediately fainted. I was behind them and saw that the situation wasn't good, so I didn't try. Otherwise, all three of us would've fainted, and we would've died. "
The sailor who hadn't fainted continued to speak. As he spoke, he kept looking at Gu Nianzhi, as if he thought she was just putting on an act.
He Zhichu's doctor examined the two fainted sailors and whispered to He Zhichu, "They really fainted from the electric shock." He also glanced at Gu Nianzhi as he spoke.
Everyone looked at the two strong sailors who had fainted, then at Gu Nianzhi. They all fell silent.
Gu Nianzhi stood up, the smile on her face fading. Without a word, she put on her diving mask and said to He Zhichu briefly, "Professor He, please wait for me for five minutes. I'll bring Brother Ze up immediately."
"No!" He Zhichu objected sternly, but Gu Nianzhi had already jumped into the sea before him. She quickly dove underwater and swam towards the place where she had come from.
"Nianzhi! Nianzhi! Come back! Come back! " He Zhichu clung to the low side of the lifeboat and screamed at the top of his lungs. His expression was one of rage and sorrow, and it was an indescribable sadness to anyone who saw him.
The nurse who had been secretly observing him couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. She turned around and wiped away her tears.
"Stand by, I'll go down and take a look." He Zhichu opened his jacket to reveal the diving suit inside. He held onto the side of the boat and fell into the water. He also swam in the direction Gu Nianzhi had gone.
His subordinates also quickly jumped into the water to protect him as they swam in Gu Nianzhi's direction.
…
Gu Nianzhi returned to the place where she had come from and swam around. She didn't see anything out of the ordinary, so she couldn't understand why the two sailors had fainted from the electric shock.
When she had come out, she had also been in pain from the electric shock, but it hadn't reached the point of fainting.
It was much worse than the violet electric arcs on the surface of the sea …
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and found the three-meter pass that she had come out from.
Without the slightest hesitation, she dashed over with her eyes open.
It was still the same pain from the electric shock. It went deep into her bones, as if someone had taken a fine needle and poked it out of her bone marrow. She was in so much pain that her entire body trembled. The seawater around her rippled because of her trembling and expanded outwards.
However, despite the pain, Gu Nianzhi didn't faint from the electric shock.
She once again successfully made it back to the waters of the blue hole.
Huo Shaoheng was carrying Zhao Liangze and waiting for her not far away.
Seeing that she had successfully gone out and come back in, Huo Shaoheng's heart finally relaxed.
"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Nianzhi swam to Huo Shaoheng's side, and Huo Shaoheng signed to her.
Gu Nianzhi shook her head with a smile. She had already calmed down and pretended as if nothing had happened. She extended her hand to Huo Shaoheng and signed, "Give Brother Ze to me. I'll take him out. Professor He is here. He brought a lifeboat, a doctor, and medicine. Brother Ze will be treated as soon as he gets up. "
Huo Shaoheng was slightly taken aback when he heard that He Zhichu was here again.
However, when he heard Gu Nianzhi say that He Zhichu had brought a doctor and medicine, the little bit of displeasure in his heart immediately vanished.
With He Zhichu's help, Zhao Liangze would definitely be fine.
Huo Shaoheng held Gu Nianzhi's shoulder and patted it. He put Zhao Liangze down and swam with her to the place where Gu Nianzhi had come in.
When they arrived at the narrow and long body of water that was more than three meters high, Huo Shaoheng stood on a limestone reef and carefully placed Zhao Liangze in the crook of Gu Nianzhi's slender arm. "Thank you."
He thanked her.
Gu Nianzhi quickly shook her head. "Brother Ze has been so good to me. I won't let anything happen to him. Huo Shao, you don't have to thank me."
She carried the unconscious Zhao Liangze and turned around to protect his head and shoulders in her arms. She used herself as a net to protect Zhao Liangze's head and heart. Then, she kicked off with both legs and closed her eyes as she rushed towards the invisible electric fence!
She wasn't sure if it was because she had an extra person in her arms this time, but the strength of the electric shock was actually much stronger than when she had first entered.
Gu Nianzhi bit her lip and endured the excruciating pain. She forced Zhao Liangze out of the range of the blue hole's electric fence without a word!
He Zhichu arrived soon after and dragged Zhao Liangze away from her arms. He sent his own people to the lifeboat.
"He's out! He's really out! "The lifeboat was filled with cheers.
The doctors and nurses quickly performed a physical test on Zhao Liangze and gave him first aid. The rescue work was carried out in an orderly manner.
Meanwhile, Gu Nianzhi turned around to swim towards the blue hole's waters.
He Zhichu grabbed her and said angrily, "You still want to go?! Look at you! "
Even her lips were bruised from biting. It was obvious how painful it was …
But Gu Nianzhi's purpose for coming here was to save Huo Shaoheng. How could she give up?
"Professor He, I'll be right back. I've already done so much. You won't let all my previous efforts go to waste, will you? "Gu Nianzhi chuckled, but the stubbornness in her eyes was unquestionable.
He Zhichu's grip tightened. Gu Nianzhi pried him away again, one finger at a time. "Professor He, I'll be fine."
She turned around and swam back to the blue hole's waters.
After entering and exiting twice, Gu Nianzhi's body was almost at its limit.
The pain increased exponentially. She was only worried that Huo Shaoheng would discover her condition, so she tried her best to act as if nothing had happened.
As soon as she swam back to the blue hole's waters, she reached out to Huo Shaoheng and jumped into his arms.
The two of them hugged each other tightly in the blue hole's waters. There was the joy of surviving a disaster, but there was also the happiness of having the person they loved by their side in the most dangerous of times.
"Huo Shao, let's go." Gu Nianzhi tugged at his arm and gently opened her arms to hug him.
This time, she was hugging Huo Shaoheng, so Gu Nianzhi no longer had any reservations.
Her chest was soft, so Huo Shaoheng also opened his arms to hug her.
The two of them maintained their hugging posture as they slowly swam to the electric fence.
They were almost at the place where she had entered and exited twice. Gu Nianzhi opened her eyes and looked at Huo Shaoheng. Suddenly, she scuttled upwards and hugged Huo Shaoheng's head tightly against her chest.
Huo Shaoheng was momentarily dazed when a pair of softness suddenly blocked his face.
At that moment, Gu Nianzhi endured the excruciating pain and used all her strength to drag him out of the blue hole's electric fence!
Huo Shaoheng only felt like his arm was being pricked by needles, but the feeling quickly disappeared.
The texture of the seawater was also obviously different.
Huo Shaoheng looked up and saw that the seawater above his head was azure blue. The raging bluish-purple electric arcs were no longer there.
He was overjoyed. He hugged Gu Nianzhi with one arm and quickly paddled with the other. His soles stepped repeatedly on the soles of his feet to float up to the surface!
