"How is that possible!" I exclaimed in shock, "How can a person be launched like a torpedo?"
"You can." Zhuang Ni said with disdain, "To think that you claim to understand ship weapons. This method of escape was used in World War II, but due to the water pressure, only a third of the people survived. Are you afraid of death?"
After Zhuang Ni said that, I also remembered an extracurricular reading called 'Escape by Sitting on a Torpedo', but it doesn't seem to have happened in World War II, but I can't care about that right now.
Actually, this article doesn't live up to its name. Humans wanting to sit on a torpedo is something that only happens in Chinese comedies. In reality, the escape method is to launch a person through a torpedo tube, but that has nothing to do with the torpedo. The human body acts as the torpedo.
"Hurry up!" Zhuang Ni urged, "If you don't have the guts to go, I'll go myself!"
I looked at the bulging lifejacket on my body and wanted to ask, "Are you still reluctant to part with these two balls?" But because the situation was too serious, I didn't say it.
A one third survival rate after being shot through a torpedo tube is only the average, and it has a lot to do with a person's physique. A strong Spartan like me should have a survival rate of over 50%, but Zhuang Ni is so skinny, so her survival rate might not even be half.
Not to mention that she is under the effects of the love potion. Without me by her side, she might change her mind and choose a countermeasure that benefits Ai ShuQiao. For example, she might mislead the rescue team or just keep quiet.
Thinking of this, I snorted and put on a manly front.
"So be it. I have unparalleled muscles, so what can water pressure do to me?"
I said as I bent down to enter the nearest torpedo tube, but Zhuang Ni suddenly called my name.
"Ye Lin …"
I lifted my head suspiciously, but Zhuang Ni's cold fingers grabbed my face. Her lips met mine at the same time.
After a brief kiss, Zhuang Ni separated from me and said with a hint of sadness in her eyes: "Don't misunderstand, I just want to maintain my rationality."
Only the pheromone on my body could allow Zhuang Ni to preserve her personality. After I left, she would soon fall into Ai ShuQiao's hands again.
The worst thing was that she had taken off my smart wristband and was using the computer functions of the smart wristband to hack into the control system of the torpedo tube. Once I was ejected from the submarine, her betrayal would be exposed. I didn't know how Ai ShuQiao and Black Holy Infant would deal with her.
I felt a wave of sadness when I thought about it. I said to Zhuang Ni, "How about we both escape from the torpedo tube? If I hug you tightly during the process, maybe our survival rate will increase … "
"It won't improve at all." Zhuang Ni resumed her cold expression. "And someone has to stay outside the torpedo tube to hack into the launch system. Can you do it, you idiot?"
Seeing that Zhuang Ni had already pulled out the wires from the smart wrist guard and inserted them into the control panel, I couldn't help but say in a low voice, "Stay here and act according to the situation. If you can stall for time, then stall for time. Don't let them kill you."
As I said that, I started to climb into the torpedo tube.
"You don't have to worry," Zhuang Ni replied coldly without stopping her work. "My programming skills are useful against Ai ShuQiao and Black Holy Infant, so they might not kill me. However, if you don't quickly expel all the air in your lungs, your internal organs will explode during the launch process and you will die before me."
"Expel all the air in your lungs and hold your breath for another half a minute!" Zhuang Ni, who had obviously hacked into the launch system, turned around and ordered me like a commanding officer on the battlefield.
Lying in the dark, coffin-like torpedo tube, I tried my best to exhale all the air in my lungs. I didn't inhale anymore and suffocated until my face turned red.
"I will control the range to around 50 meters so that you can safely reach the surface of the sea. If you are still alive after reaching the surface of the sea, throw out the two signal buoys in your life jacket. Dye the surface of the sea with dye and send out a distress signal. The nuclear submarine most likely won't expose its tracks to capture you. I will also temporarily seal the torpedo launch system so that they won't immediately launch a torpedo to silence you. "
After completing the tedious but necessary explanation, Zhuang Ni lifted the corner of her lips slightly as a farewell. At the same time, she stared at the glowing touch screen on the smart wrist guard.
"After pressing this button, I have a two-thirds chance of killing you. Humph, that's pretty good."
Before she finished speaking, she pressed her hand down. Since I was holding my breath, I couldn't say anything to reply to her.
* Psst! Psst! Psst! * There was a loud roar that almost deafened me. I shut my eyes tightly, subconsciously feeling that my eardrums were bleeding.
The strong suction force made my body fly upwards. I was enveloped by a strong air current and flew towards the surface of the sea at lightning speed.
I thought that the water pressure of 50 meters deep would harm my muscles and bones, but with the protection of the air current, I was thrown to the surface of the sea in an instant. Forget about the pressure of the deep sea, I didn't even feel the cold temperature of the deep sea. To be honest, it was terrifying to recall that moment. During the process, I seemed to hear a strange creature shouting at a strange frequency in the deep sea.
"Patrick Star, let's go catch a jellyfish!!"
* Puff! * I popped my head out of the sea and breathed in air again. My nostrils and ears were bleeding, and the acceleration had caused my blood to gather in my feet to the point that my blood vessels were about to burst.
But I didn't care because the smell of the air was too sweet! I had successfully escaped from the nuclear submarine controlled by the Black Holy Infant. I had successfully become a third of the survivors.
Perhaps it was because the sea was close to the equator, but the temperature of the sea was much milder than I had imagined. I used both hands to paddle into the water to ensure that I remained upright while I floated. Then, I took out the two spherical buoys and threw them near my body.
The dye was very effective. The surrounding seawater was immediately dyed orange-yellow. It was said that this dye had the effect of repelling sharks. That way, I wouldn't be eaten by the sharks that followed my blood trail.
The dye spread rapidly. Not only had the US military been massacred by Ai ShuQiao in Guantánamo Bay, but a nuclear submarine with a nuclear warhead had also disappeared. They must be frantically searching for it. I reckoned that the unusual movements on the surface of the sea had already been captured by satellites.
As for whether the radio distress signal had been successfully sent, I didn't know since I was an outsider. However, since there were two 'balls' floating on the surface of the sea, they shouldn't have been damaged, right?
The enclosed submarine made it impossible to know day and night. After I reached the surface of the sea, I discovered that it was close to noon and it was a sunny day.
The waves on the surface of the sea weren't very strong. With the help of a life jacket, I had no problems keeping myself from sinking. However, since I couldn't swim, I couldn't help but drink a few mouthfuls of salty seawater.
"Pah pah pah!" I spat out seawater while worrying about the fate of Zhuang Ni who was left in the submarine.
As expected, the submarine did not stop to catch me and continued to move forward to avoid the US satellites. But Zhuang Ni must have already been exposed and probably arrested.
I couldn't imagine how Ai ShuQiao and the Black Holy Infant would treat her. I looked around blankly and saw a small island in the east, and its shape felt familiar …
At this moment, I finally understood what Zhuang Ni meant by 'the good news she saw in the periscope'. She was right, we were too lucky!
This is Ai Mi's angel island! This was the deserted island that they were trapped on! Zhuang Ni used a torpedo tube to launch me near Angel Island! I can use brute force to swim to the island!
With that thought, I clenched my teeth and was about to paddle, but after thinking for a bit, I clamped one of the verniers under my arm and left the other one floating in the sea. Then, I started swimming towards Angel Island.
The sea was boundless, who knows where the vernier would be washed to. If I could bring a vernier back to the island, then the rescue team would be able to accurately find Angel Island.
Also, a vernier with a shark repelling function could prevent me from being attacked by sharks. I don't want to become shark bait right after escaping from the submarine.
I have to say, my swimming movements were too clumsy. It wasn't even noon when I emerged from the surface of the sea, but it was already two in the afternoon when I climbed onto the beach of Angel Island panting and fainted.
"Ye Lin, Ye Lin!"
I was about to fall asleep when I heard a familiar voice in my muddy ears.
I can't sleep. Even though my body's vitals have dropped to a dangerous level, I still can't sleep!
I tried my best to open my eyes and use my arms to prop my upper body up from the beach. Then I vaguely saw a long-haired girl kneeling in front of me. It seems to be the class leader, Shu Sha, who I haven't seen for half a month.
"Great, it's really you!"
The class leader excitedly hugged my neck while crying tears of joy.
"You didn't die! Xiao Qin and I were worried you would die! Not only did you not die, you even came to find us! How did you find us? "
I couldn't answer the class leader's series of questions. After I coughed twice, the class leader realized I might need some water.
"Wait, I'll bring you some water immediately! Don't leave! "
The class leader hurriedly turned around and entered the forest. I forced myself to sit cross-legged and scooped up two handfuls of seawater from behind me to wash the mud off my face and ears.
After waiting for five or six minutes, I heard rustling sounds coming from the forest. Then, the class leader cautiously walked in front of me with a cracked porcelain bowl.
At this time, I finally saw the class leader's attire and widened my eyes in shock.
Class leader, what are you wearing? Even if this is a tropical island with a mild climate, you don't need to wear a coconut leaf tube top and a grass skirt! Where's the school uniform you were wearing before? Did it all rot?
