Because the white woman's hair was disheveled and she was twisting her body in a dying struggle, Zhang Zian couldn't see her face clearly through the binoculars, but he suspected that she was the Megan he was looking for.
Regardless of whether she was Megan or not, he couldn't just watch her die.
Of course, Zhang Zian didn't have that ability, and he didn't have the time. He lay on the rocks of the cape, carefully turned around, and gestured to Sihwa.
However, Sihwa was having fun with the whales and didn't notice his gesture.
He lowered his voice and said, "Sihwa, someone is going to be thrown into the water. You and the whales think of a way to save her. Next, use a knife to cut the rope."
Sihwa was in the sea. He was lying on the rocks of the cape, and the sea wind was whistling around him. His voice was very low, and under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to hear him. However, Sihwa's hearing was extremely sensitive. She was just about to ask him what to use to cut the rope when she saw him put a small thing into the pocket of his waterproof jacket. He wrapped the jacket around a stone of suitable weight, then threw the jacket in her direction.
The situation was urgent, and there was no time to climb down the cape.
If he didn't wrap the stone, the light jacket wouldn't be able to be thrown too far.
The jacket fell into the sea and sank under the weight of the stone. Sihwa quickly swam over and grabbed the jacket. She took out the stone and threw it away. From the pocket of the jacket, she found the Swiss army knife that Zhang Zian always carried with him.
In the small boat, the woman struggled violently, but the four big men easily grabbed her arms and ankles and picked her up like a hen waiting to be slaughtered. They shouted, "1, 2, 3." At the same time, they threw her over the side of the boat.
She fell into the water with a splash. Her tightly bound limbs couldn't move, but under the control of her survival instinct, she held her breath before she fell into the water, and the speed at which she sank was relatively slow.
However, the fifth man on the boat picked up the stone tied to her feet, whistled, and with a cruel smile on his face, threw the stone into the water.
She sank faster, and the stone fell with her into the dark bottom of the sea.
"Go."
The leader gestured for them to stop working and return to the mansion.
They had done this many times, and it was as easy as eating a meal. In the beginning, they would wait for a while and only return when they saw that there were no more bubbles in the sea. However, after a long time, they felt that there was no need to waste time. It was obvious that those who were thrown into the water would not survive, so it was better to go back and play cards.
The four of them rowed and turned the bow of the boat. One of them had sharp eyes and saw a pod of whales on the surface of the sea. However, whales were often seen here, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
While the boat was sailing towards the simple dock, the young woman who was thrown into the sea was struggling desperately under the blue-gray sea.
She was Megan, a young girl who had planned to travel through the Mahogany Forest alone. However, she had appeared in the wrong place at the wrong time and met the wrong person, causing her to face a hopeless situation.
Megan loved the outdoors. Her physical fitness and lung capacity were better than most people her age, but so what? All she could do was delay her drowning by a few seconds. Even though it was only a few seconds, it was a hellish experience for her.
She was falling too fast, and her eardrums couldn't adapt to the water pressure. She couldn't hear anything, and her eyes could only see a small piece of light above her head gradually fading away.
Mom, I'm sorry …
The last thing that appeared in front of her was not God, but her mother. She regretted not listening to her mother's advice, but it was too late. She paid the price for her stubbornness.
A series of bubbles gushed out of her mouth, carrying her last words and her soul as she floated to the surface of the sea.
In her remaining consciousness, she felt that the speed at which she was sinking had suddenly slowed down. Perhaps it was because the density of the deep sea was higher, causing the buoyancy to increase as well.
She stopped sinking, because the stone had already reached the bottom of the sea.
She felt a rapid undercurrent around her, causing her to sway like a kite.
An unknown school of fish frequently brushed past her face and pecked her with their mouths, as if they were testing whether she was edible or not.
An even larger shadow swam past her.
So big!
What kind of fish is this?
Her lifeless eyes could no longer move, and her thoughts were fragmented like snowflakes.
There was some kind of vibration under her feet, and then her feet became lighter.
Those people found a random stone on the shore and tied it to her feet. It was very sturdy. Did the stone fall off?
The light in front of her disappeared, and her feet seemed to be pulled by something. Her head was down and her feet were up, and she was being pulled by something as she swam at an extremely fast speed.
Is it a shark?
Before drowning, I have to be bitten to death by a shark? That's not bad. At least I can die quickly.
Megan laughed at herself as she completely lost consciousness.
Sihwa used a Swiss army knife to cut off the stone that Megan was sinking to the bottom of the sea. She grabbed her feet and quickly rose to the surface of the sea.
The school of whales also arrived at this time. They seemed to feel the urgency of the situation, and they circled around Sihwa, occasionally letting out a melodious whale song that only Sihwa could hear.
It took almost a minute to sink, but it only took a dozen seconds to float.
Sihwa's speed could have been faster, but she heard that humans couldn't float too fast from deep water.
When she was cutting the rope at the bottom of the sea, Sihwa noticed that there were a few similar stones tied to ropes at the bottom of the sea. They were blown by the undercurrent, and they kept swaying like spirit flags.
Fortunately, she didn't see any bones. They had probably been dismembered by the school of fish and then swept away by the undercurrent.
Splash!
Sihwa pulled Megan to the surface of the sea. The boat in the distance didn't even have time to reach the shore.
J2, the long-lived female whale nicknamed Granny, used its body to block Sihwa and Megan. Under the cover of J2 and the school of whales, Sihwa pulled Megan to the back of the headland.
Zhang Zian had already climbed down the headland and was waiting on the shore.
Megan was pushed towards him by Sihwa, and he used his fastest speed to drag the unconscious Megan onto the beach. He then pressed on her chest and performed CPR on her.
Due to suffocation and the cold of the sea, Megan's face had already turned blue. Other than her body temperature, she had almost lost all signs of life.
The elfins all held their breaths and watched with rapt attention. Only Fabre closed his eyes and prayed to God for the life that was about to pass away.
Time passed second by second. Just as the elfins secretly shook their heads, thinking that there was nothing they could do to save the situation, Megan suddenly started coughing violently. She kept coughing out the murky seawater in her lungs and trachea, and her body was as tense as a bow.
Zhang Zian also let out a sigh of relief. Before Megan regained consciousness, he told Sihwa to hide in the sea. Otherwise, if she opened her eyes and saw a mermaid, she would most likely think that she was in heaven.
