When Zhou Jing looked up, she happened to meet the grumpy Bob's eyes, and she couldn't help but panic.
The giant turtle waved its short limbs and wandered right above her. Its black eyes stared at her with great interest.
A little further away in the water, Abby was also waving her hands, trying to attract the attention of the grumpy Bob. She tried her best and successfully led it away before, but it turned around and swam back. The thoughts of wild animals were difficult to fathom. In the sea, she could only rely on her movements, not her voice, and she couldn't get too close to it, which made it even more difficult.
Zhou Jing looked down and saw that the back of the fishtail had been bitten.
The moray eel swam sneakily next to her fishtail, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
The bite just now was just a test, and the taste was very strange. The moray eel was still observing this surprisingly large guy. Whether she was alive or dead, it didn't mind eating a few pieces of meat from her.
In fact, Zhou Jing still had enough time. As long as she could keep calm and choose the right direction to escape, there was a good chance that she could escape unscathed.
However, not many people could remain calm in such a situation. Even a veteran freediver would not be able to remain as calm as usual when his legs were tied to a heavy fishtail.
Zhou Jing also panicked, and her mind was a mess. She regretted insisting on going into the water during her period, regretted that work was more important than life, regretted that she didn't find the moray eel in time, regretted …
She regretted a lot of things, but the one she regretted most was that she shouldn't have been overconfident. In the past, there had been no problems diving during her period, but it didn't mean that there wouldn't be problems every time. It was a matter of probability. It was like playing Russian roulette with a revolver loaded with one bullet. No one would always be lucky.
A good swimmer drowns in the water. The sea was not like land. Any negligence or accident could lead to disaster.
At this moment, many people and many things flashed through her mind like a flashing horse lantern.
The brain felt the crisis and secreted a lot of hormones to deal with the enemy. The hormones made her reaction speed faster, so that her muscles could exert more strength. These were very useful on land, but the brain didn't know that she was in the water. The hormones made her faster and stronger, but they also made her consume more oxygen.
Her lungs felt like they were being roasted, and the rest of her body was as cold as ice.
No, no, no! It was not time to give up yet!
She could no longer make a calm judgment. Relying on her intuition, she chose a direction and swung her tail with all her might to escape.
Her movements were too violent, and the huge fish tail caused the water to hit the bottom of the tank, stirring up a large amount of sand and making the seawater turbid.
The moray eel was infuriated by her actions. It shot out like lightning and bit at her.
She twisted her waist with all her might and dodged the bite in the nick of time, causing the moray eel to bite empty air. Just as she was feeling a little happy, she suddenly felt her fishtail sink.
Looking back, she saw the grumpy Bob biting the end of her fishtail. There was no malice in his black eyes, as if he was joking with her, but she really couldn't take this kind of joke.
She had dodged the moray eel just now, but she had delivered the fish tail to the turtle's mouth. The grumpy Bob couldn't refuse something that was delivered to him. Even though he didn't know what it was, he stuck his head out and took a bite.
The grumpy Bob was as big as a small millstone and weighed at least 100 kilograms. Being on the fish tail by this guy was like being dropped by a big stone. No matter how much strength she had, she couldn't swing her fishtail.
Abby knew that Zhou Jing was in trouble, but she was also in a bad situation. She had used up a lot of energy and oxygen in the process of ear-pressing and luring the turtle away. The wise choice was to float up to breathe first, and then dive down to help. Even if the two of them combined their strength, they might not be able to get rid of the turtle. As long as it didn't let go, there was almost nothing they could do, not to mention there was a ferocious moray eel next to them.
However, it would take at least half a minute to float up to breathe and then dive down to Zhou Jing's side. Zhou Jing might not be able to hold on for another half a minute.
She had to do what she could to save people. If she rushed to save people now, it was likely that she would lose her life.
She hesitated for a second or two. Her son's and Zhou Jing's faces flashed in her mind. Imagine if they were in each other's shoes, would Zhou Jing save her?
This was an unsolvable question. No one knew the answer until it happened.
In the end, she gritted her teeth and decided to dive down to save Zhou Jing. She knew that she was being silly. The two of them were just colleagues, not friends. However, she hoped that if she was in danger in the future, Zhou Jing would also risk her life to save her.
She swam towards Zhou Jing as fast as she could and accurately grabbed Zhou Jing's hand. Then, she turned around and pulled Zhou Jing up.
Zhou Jing's mind was now in chaos. Her vision was blurred, her eyes were extremely protruding, and her lungs were about to explode. There seemed to be a devil whispering in her heart — as long as she opened her mouth, she wouldn't have to suffer this torture.
Her hand was grabbed by Abby. The unconscious Zhou Jing was like a drowning person grabbing onto a life-saving straw. She used all her strength to hold on tightly.
Not only did Abby not pull Zhou Jing up, but she was also pulled down by Zhou Jing's random struggle. Ominous premonitions filled Abby's mind, but Zhou Jing's grip was so strong that her nails were deeply embedded in her skin. At this time, it was impossible to break free from Zhou Jing's hand.
Baby, I'm sorry … Mom loves you …
Abby silently bid farewell to her son in despair.
She regretted it. She should have been crueler and wiser. She shouldn't have tried to be a hero, but it was too late.
She didn't know if it was because of the lack of oxygen that caused her to hallucinate. She seemed to see a strange light and shadow swimming at high speed not far away. The light and shadow was like something transparent shuttling in the sea. It was as if the sea was empty, but it was not filled with air, but something similar to glass. Because the light transmittance was different from the sea, there was light refraction at the edge, so it could be vaguely seen.
What was even more surprising was that the mass of light and shadow vaguely looked like a human, but the second half was like the body of a fish. Its speed was as fast as lightning, and it was moving at a high speed toward the inlet pipe above the sea tank. The sea water was stirred up by this mass of light and shadow.
It was impossible for a human to swim at this speed in the sea, unless they were holding a torpedo.
A series of bubbles came out of Zhou Jing's mouth and nose. The lack of oxygen had made her brain unable to fully control her body.
Abby's eyes widened, trying to maintain the remnants of her consciousness. She could already feel the strength coming from Zhou Jing's hand had weakened. Maybe she could get rid of Zhou Jing's hand. Doing so might cause her to be condemned by her conscience for the rest of her life, but now she just wanted to live and see her son.
Suddenly, something swooped down at high speed from above, passing through the water only a meter away from Abby.
Was it a diver?
Did the divers discover that the two of them were in danger and came to save them?
No, it was impossible. The divers had moved to other positions to clean the tank wall. This was routine work. They were not wearing communication headsets, so it was impossible for them to know the news.
Abby saw another mermaid. She had snow-white skin and green seaweed-like hair. She was as beautiful as an angel, and she also had a strong and flexible long fishtail.
What happened?
Who was this?
Abby couldn't believe her eyes because she knew that there was no third mermaid actor in the aquarium, and there were only two sets of mermaid costumes prepared. However, her slow brain could no longer think. She saw that the new mermaid did not slow down at all. She turned 180 degrees in the water, and her wide fishtail slammed heavily on the grumpy Bob. The strength was so great that the big turtle lost consciousness and hit the bottom of the sea like a cannonball.
With a muffled bang, the turtle shell first hit the reef, and even the reef was smashed. Then it hit the sea sand, splashing a lot of sand and stone debris. The sea was chaotic.
Then, a strong palm grabbed Abby's other hand and quickly brought her and Zhou Jing to the surface.
