This time, Huo Shaoheng spoke, but Gu Nianzhi didn't respond.
She was still lying motionlessly in He Zhichu's arms with her head facing inward. Of course, she couldn't move even if she wanted to.
Previously in the sea, she had completely held on. People could always explode with energy that they didn't even know they had in times of danger, let alone Gu Nianzhi.
But after rescuing Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze, she couldn't hold on anymore. Her entire body was like a deflated balloon.
From Huo Shaoheng's perspective, Gu Nianzhi's posture was particularly jarring. There was a sense of resistance to him, and this was something he couldn't tolerate or accept.
"Nianzhi!" Huo Shaoheng raised his voice slightly and took a step forward. He directly reached out to pull Gu Nianzhi out of He Zhichu's arms.
He Zhichu hugged Gu Nianzhi even tighter and refused to let go. He glared at Huo Shaoheng. "Try moving again, and I'll immediately have someone throw you out!"
The lifeboat wasn't very big, and He Zhichu had brought a lot of people. If he really wanted to throw Huo Shaoheng out, Huo Shaoheng would be outnumbered no matter how capable he was.
Gu Nianzhi originally didn't want to care, but now that she heard He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng were about to fight, she anxiously turned her head and weakly said, "Don't …"
When she turned her head, Huo Shaoheng finally saw her face clearly.
Her pale, bloodless skin was as fragile as the first snow in early winter. It melted in his hands, but it was summer in Central America. Where did the snow come from? Therefore, it was even more thrilling.
Her plump and beautiful lips were bruised, and there were two obvious small teeth marks. It was obvious she bit herself.
The corners of her lips were broken and swollen. Half of her face was slightly deformed. She looked like a completely different person from the Gu Nianzhi he saw a few hours ago.
She looked like she had been slapped hard in the face 17 or 18 times.
Huo Shaoheng's heart suddenly sank, and he instantly understood: Gu Nianzhi was also injured.
Moreover, looking at her pale and bloodless face, listening to her weak voice, her internal organs should have been severely injured.
Was it because she had been electrocuted when she went through the electric fence in the blue hole's waters?
So her physique wasn't so abnormal that she wasn't afraid of the high-voltage electric fence around the blue hole?
She was just worried that he wouldn't let her save him, so she had been forcing herself to endure it, pretending as if nothing had happened, and using the diving mask to hide from him?
Huo Shaoheng's mind raced, and in the blink of an eye, he understood most of Gu Nianzhi's thoughts.
After all, she had grown up with him. She understood him, and he understood her even more.
However, it was a habit he had developed over the years on the battlefield. He would always pay attention to his own soldiers and comrades at the first moment. This had already become a habit that was deeply ingrained in his bones.
After confirming that Gu Nianzhi was fine, his focus had been on Zhao Liangze.
Zhao Liangze had fainted at the bottom of the sea because of him. As his superior, his commander, and the person he had saved, Huo Shaoheng only wanted to know Zhao Liangze's condition immediately. Only by knowing that he could recover could Huo Shaoheng calm down.
So he had neglected Gu Nianzhi just now.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Huo Shaoheng, closed her eyes, and said one more word. "… Tired."
"Get out of the way!" He Zhichu roared at Huo Shaoheng again. "I want to take her to the ship for emergency treatment!"
Huo Shaoheng didn't insist anymore and quietly moved aside.
He Zhichu carried Gu Nianzhi and quickly walked past him.
The lifeboat had already reached the bottom of the ship, and rope ladders and chairs were lowered from the boat to take He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi up first. Then Zhao Liangze, the doctors, and nurses, and finally Huo Shaoheng and He Zhichu's subordinates.
…
Gu Yanran watched the situation on He Zhichu's side from her own yacht.
Although she didn't see the tension between He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng, she saw Gu Nianzhi save Zhao Liangze from beginning to end. She couldn't understand it.
The electric fence around the blue hole was the masterpiece of her father, Gu Xiangwen. The project was huge and ingenious. No one knew the key to it, not even Gu Yanran.
Therefore, after Gu Xiangwen and his wife's accident, the electric fence around the blue hole was basically abandoned.
Because no one knew where the switch was, and no one knew how to activate it.
Gu Yanran was already surprised enough when the electric fence suddenly activated this time, but she was even more surprised that someone was able to survive the trap of the electric fence!
Yes, Gu Yanran didn't know the principle of the electric fence and how to activate it, but she knew the power of the electric fence.
That was because after Gu Xiangwen built the electric fence, he told his family more than once during dinner about the amazing functions of the electric fence …
Also, when Gu Xiangwen was alive, Gu Yanran had seen the power of her father activating the electric fence with her own eyes.
Logically speaking, it was something that even she didn't know and couldn't overcome. How could Gu Nianzhi overcome it at such a young age?
Gu Yanran thought about it uneasily. Seeing that He Zhichu and his people had already boarded the ship, she casually ordered, "Contact Mr. He and tell him that I want to visit Mr. Huo and Miss Gu. See how they are."
Her housekeeper immediately contacted He Zhichu.
…
He Zhichu boarded his ship and carried her straight to the best medical room on the ship. He called the doctor who had examined Zhao Liangze earlier over and said with a dark expression, "Hurry up and examine her. See if we need to send her to the United States for emergency treatment."
The doctor was frightened by He Zhichu's expression and quickly took out a full set of medical equipment. He called his best assistant to examine Gu Nianzhi together.
From her breathing rate to her heartbeat, as well as her internal organs, they would have done a CT scan immediately if there was one on the ship.
Huo Shaoheng didn't follow them in. He stood alone outside the medical room with his hands behind his back and watched the busy situation through the glass window.
He Zhichu wore a white sterile medical gown and a mask. His entire body had been disinfected and sterilized. He stood next to the doctor and watched them do the examination.
The advanced medical equipment ensured that the examination was fast and accurate.
Ten minutes later, the preliminary health examination results were out.
The doctor looked at the results and said to He Zhichu with a strange expression, "Mr. He, this lady is just tired … She'll be fine after some sleep …"
Looking at Mr. He's expression, he thought the lady was seriously injured and had hidden injuries and was about to die …
The doctor kept criticizing He Zhichu for making a mountain out of a molehill and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go see the gentleman over there. His condition is more serious and he needs to wake up immediately."
He was talking about Zhao Liangze.
He Zhichu turned to look at him, his shimmering almond-shaped eyes expressionless. "Really? She's fine? No other hidden injuries? And no other illnesses? "
He emphasized the word 'internal injury' as he was extremely worried.
"No, I can confirm that this lady is very healthy. She's just severely exhausted and needs to rest in bed for a few days." The doctor answered He Zhichu's words with great professionalism.
For some reason, when He Zhichu heard the doctor's words and knew Gu Nianzhi's health was fine, he didn't sigh in relief. Instead, he felt even more upset.
He waved his hand. "You can go out. I'll sit here for a while."
Gu Nianzhi had already fallen asleep. The bruises on her lips were still there, but the bite marks had faded a little.
He could imagine that by tomorrow, the injuries on her face would be mostly healed, not to mention her body.
He Zhichu sat in front of Gu Nianzhi's bed and cradled his head with both hands. His heart ached unbearably. It was all his fault that she became like this …
Huo Shaoheng waited outside the infirmary. When he saw the doctor come out, he quickly asked in English, "May I ask how the lady inside is doing?"
The doctor saw that Huo Shaoheng actually spoke authentic Oxford English and liked him. He smiled. "Don't worry, the lady is just very tired and severely exhausted. She needs to rest in bed for a few days. If she wants to, give her a few injections of glucose to replenish her energy. If she doesn't want to, she doesn't have to. "
The doctor also spoke Oxford English.
Huo Shaoheng carefully confirmed with the doctor again. "Really? She's really fine? No hidden injuries? No other illnesses? "
The doctor laughed and shook his head. "Your question is exactly the same as Mr. He's. No, I still have to answer that there's nothing wrong with her body. It's just that she's a young lady after all. She saved two grown men from the bottom of the sea. It would be strange if she wasn't exhausted. "
The doctor had also seen the flashing electric arcs with his own eyes. He felt that if he had been electrocuted, he would have gone to God for sure. Only this lady was lucky enough to be blessed by God to be able to successfully save people.
"Amen, may God bless her. If we're talking about serious injuries, that gentleman is even more serious. I'm going to see him. " The doctor drew a cross on his chest and nodded to Huo Shaoheng before leaving to see Zhao Liangze's condition.
Huo Shaoheng stared at the infirmary for a while before reaching out to open the door. He hesitated but didn't go in.
It was a sterile room inside. He hadn't been sterilized, so he couldn't go in.
He crossed his arms and turned to lean against the wall next to the infirmary door. His expression was calm as he silently thought about what had happened.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
When it was quiet all around, the ringtone was particularly abrupt.
Huo Shaoheng put on his Bluetooth headset and immediately straightened when he heard it was Yin Shixiong. "How is it? Is the helicopter here? "
"It's here, Huo Shao. I'm on the helicopter. Aren't you on the four-story ship in front of us? " Yin Shixiong's voice was accompanied by the rumbling noise in the background. It was probably the sound of the helicopter's propellers.
"Yes, I told you just now. I'm on He Zhichu's ship." Huo Shaoheng put the phone away and turned to knock on the door.
He Zhichu looked up and turned to look at him.
Huo Shaoheng pushed the door open and said calmly, "My helicopter is here. I'm taking Nianzhi away."
He Zhichu stood up and walked to the door. He also said calmly, "You can go, but Nianzhi can't."
