Chapter 79 Chapter 79 This is a real female man
Zhong Yuan was holding on to the rope tied around her body tightly, fearing that the speeding bed would throw her out. Unexpectedly, after a sudden brake almost knocked her unconscious, she suddenly heard Chang Ruijia say these words.
"What?"
Zhong Yuan, who hadn't seen her previous actions, was a little confused. She stared blankly at the confident Xiao Chang in front of her. "Xiao Chang, why did you stop so suddenly?"
When she carefully climbed up and saw that there was a desolate sea around her, Zhong Yuan, who was originally confused, suddenly became anxious.
"Sister Chang, are you tired? It's okay. I'm here. I'll row! This isn't a safe place to rest. We have to hold on until help arrives."
The sea breeze gently blew on the two people on the bed, and waves surging from behind them kept hitting the bed, as if telling them the critical situation at the moment.
"It doesn't have to be that troublesome," Chang Ruijia smiled and shook her head at Zhong Yuan's concern. "Waiting for rescue is ultimately just a draining process. Besides, their first target should be Shi Fang and his men, who are already nearly exhausted."
Zhong Yuan naturally knew this truth, but if they continued thinking along this line, shouldn't they be working harder to widen the gap with the monster fish?
There is really no better fruit to be gained by giving up!
"Don't worry. I'll teach you a simpler method today," Chang Ruijia said, her eyes narrowed as she gazed at the surging waters behind her. "Sometimes, it's far more satisfying to eliminate the enemy directly rather than just sneaking away."
Who doesn't know this? Zhong Yuan silently complained in his heart, isn't it because they can't beat those monster fish, so the only way is to widen the gap?
However, before Zhong Yuan could finish his complaint, Chang Ruijia had already taken up her stance, staring at the sea behind her without blinking.
Forget it, Zhong Yuan sighed in his heart, and clenched his hands holding the oars even tighter. Since Sister Xiao Chang wanted to give it a try, let her try it. As long as she was alert at all times and paddled away at the first moment of an accident, nothing serious would happen.
Not knowing that Zhong Yuan was preparing a retreat for them, Chang Ruijia was now full of confidence as she faced the monster fish that had already caught up with her from the sea.
The kitchen knife, which had long been embedded in the monster fish's body, played a huge role at this moment. Every slight change allowed Chang Ruijia to react immediately.
"Here you are, take care of yourself!"
Chang Ruijia reminded Zhong Yuan behind her, and threw the kitchen knife in her hand with all her strength in the direction of the rope.
Although the monster fish's skin was so tough that it could not easily leave any traces before it disappeared, Chang Ruijiake never stopped exercising during the period when things had eased.
She had a premonition that even if the monster fish's strength had increased tremendously after disappearing and reappearing, and its skin had become incredibly tough, her power would be able to play a huge role in it.
Things turned out just as Chang Ruijia had expected. As the kitchen knife sank into the ocean with a sound of breaking wind, in the blink of an eye, circles of blood-red appeared on the sea surface again.
"Red! Red!" Zhong Yuan, whose palms were sweating, suddenly shouted, as if she had received some great stimulation. "Sister Xiao Chang, look, the sea water is red. You really hit it!"
"It's still early," Chang Ruijia glanced at the slightly spreading color and said calmly, "The monsters under the sea won't die so easily. We still have a tough battle to fight."
"But be prepared to run away at any time."
Zhong Yuan tightened her grip on the diaper in her hand, as if it could give her a great sense of security. "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely make the bed as soon as possible."
Chang Ruijia took a break from her busy schedule and turned back to look at Zhong Yuan, who had a serious face. Seeing how well prepared she was, she suddenly felt a little malicious and didn't tell her.
In fact, she didn't need to do anything. She just had to be mentally prepared to ride a high-speed car. After all, there was a "mount" following them under the sea.
Regardless of what he said, Chang Ruijia's hands never stopped moving.
The ropes that were originally wrapped around the bed were instantly tightened in a moment after the kitchen knife flew out. One after another, the kitchen knives flew out in the direction where the rope sank, continuously hitting the monster fish under the sea.
With each hit, a noticeable spot of blood could be seen rising. Chang Ruijia became increasingly nervous, always on guard against the monster fish under the sea going crazy when the damage reached a critical point.
But as time passed, the sea surface here was almost soaked with bright red blood, but the expected wind and waves did not appear.
What appeared under the sea? This was Chang Ruijia's first reaction.
However, as the sea water was stained with blood, the GoPro camera, which could originally see at least tens of meters below the sea, could no longer see clearly.
It would be easy to solve this problem. She just had to move her bed to the top of the monster fish school, but she was not stupid.
Not to mention that besides her, there is also Zhong Yuan's safety to consider on the bed. Even if it was just her, she would not do such a risky thing.
Although the distance between the two sides is not large now, it can ensure that they can keep a safe distance in time when something unexpected happens.
If they really get close to danger and something unexpected happens, it will be too late for them to cry.
What's more, this method is not 100% effective. The situation under the sea is ever-changing, and using a rope to control the direction of GoPro is not an accurate method.
After thinking about various possibilities, Chang Ruijia made up her mind and decided to do something that would definitely be considered "seeking death" in the eyes of others.
Go down to the sea and check out the monster fish yourself.
After Chang Ruijia and Zhong Yuan briefly mentioned this method, the entire sea area became so quiet except for the sound of the waves that you could almost hear a pin drop. Even the wind on the sea surface was still for a moment.
"No! Absolutely not!" As Chang Ruijia expected, Zhong Yuan reacted strongly after hearing this idea. "This idea is too dangerous. I absolutely don't agree with it."
"You've heard us talk about this before. When nothing happened before, a monster suddenly appeared from the sea and killed 80% of the people underwater. Now you can smell the blood on the surface. It's even more dangerous to go underwater now!"
After saying that, Zhong Yuan looked at Chang Ruijia and said earnestly, "If there's no other way, we can just keep circling those monsters. The two of us taking turns can hold them out until reinforcements arrive. There's no need to risk our lives."
Chang Ruijia understood what Zhong Yuan said. After all, considering her previous love for life, which was no less than Yu Jianyi's, she had thought about the possibility of these dangers countless times.
However, although her method sounded a bit hasty, Chang Ruijia had considered this matter carefully before making any decision.
"Believe me, we can do it." Facing Zhong Yuan's puzzled eyes, Chang Ruijia did not explain too much, but just said firmly.
Although he had never personally witnessed Chang Ruijia's strength in fighting underwater monsters, facing Chang Ruijia's confidence at the moment, Zhong Yuan took a deep breath and for some reason his eyes became firm.
"Okay! I believe you, Sister Xiao Chang."
This trust came somewhat inexplicably, after all, it was a matter concerning the lives of both of them, but for some reason Zhong Yuan always had an extraordinary trust in Chang Ruijia.
Fortunately, Chang Ruijia did not let her down.
In her sudden trust, Chang Ruijia whistled and called a round head directly from the bedside.
"This is my ocean friend, you can call it Xiao Yi," Chang Ruijia explained with a smile in the face of Zhong Yuan's shocked eyes, "Don't worry, I never joke with my life easily. With Xiao Yi's speed as a guarantee, I'm sure I can return to my bed safely even if anything goes wrong."
It was not until this moment that Zhong Yuan understood where Chang Ruijia's calm confidence came from.
However, when meeting Xiao Ai for the first time, although Zhong Yuan reached out and touched its head at Chang Ruijia's suggestion, he was not completely relieved.
"Little Sister Chang, tie this rope around your waist," Zhong Yuan said seriously as she handed Chang Ruijia a rope with a GoPro camera attached. "It's safer to have double insurance."
Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.
Although Chang Ruijia guaranteed Xiao Yi, Zhong Yuan would not easily believe a monster that appeared in front of him for the first time and was from an opposing tribe.
"Okay, I understand." Chang Ruijia knew what Zhong Yuan was worried about, but did not explain too much. Sometimes some worries were necessary.
The main point is to be foolproof.
After everything was ready, Chang Ruijia put on a set of diving equipment that she had prepared early in the morning, and jumped into the sea with a splash under Zhong Yuan's worried eyes.
The cold sea water instantly soaked my whole body. This was different from the feeling of the sea water surging onto the bed. The sea water, which did not belong to the human realm, always gave people a bone-chilling feeling.
This was the first time that Chang Ruijia went into the sea after appearing in this strange world. Perhaps it was because of her suddenly cold body or the excitement of going into the sea for the first time, but her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably for a while.
But within just a few breaths, Chang Ruijia adjusted her mentality and allowed her body to slowly adapt to the underwater world.
Faced with such a dangerous situation, she will not be given too much time to adjust.
"Are you okay? Sister Xiao Chang." Zhong Yuan's worried voice came through the headphones hidden in the diving suit. Obviously, based on the real-time images transmitted back by GoPro, she discovered that she had been motionless since she went into the water.
Chang Ruijia patted Xiao Yi who was a little excited beside her. This was her first time to come to Xiao Yi's territory, and it seemed that it was extremely excited.
After hearing the voice from the headphones, Chang Ruijia stretched out her finger and made an OK gesture to the GoPro camera wrapped around her waist.
He signaled to Zhong Yuan on the other end of the bed to rest assured that nothing had happened to her, and then he carefully reached along the rope wrapped around the bed.
Only after actually diving underwater did Chang Ruijia understand how depressing the silent and lightless images that GoPro brought back from diving into the sea were.
The entire sea was emitting a deep dark blue color. Even the pipelines coming out from the sea surface were obscured by the blood color that permeated the ocean.
When looking deeper below her, Chang Ruijia felt that her body was about to be swallowed up by this dark place, and she felt like she was about to lose control of her body and step into the abyss at any time.
At that moment, she suddenly understood what deep-sea phobia was.
Chang Ruijia clenched her numb fingers and forced herself to look upwards, not wondering if something would suddenly burst out from the inky black abyss under the sea.
Opening the oxygen port in her mouth, Chang Ruijia blew out a puff of bubbles, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and patted Xiao Ai beside her soothingly.
Walk!
Chang Ruijia's eyes suddenly became firm, and she flapped her flippers and swam quickly towards the other end of the rope. The kitchen knife on the rope around her waist was also pulled out.
On the other side, Zhong Yuan also looked at the ocean from a human perspective for the first time. When he usually put down the GoPro into the sea, he didn't have such an exciting feeling.
The moment he saw Chang Ruijia finally move, Zhong Yuan also let go of the heart that had been in his throat.
Oh my god, when she thought about the bottomless abyss under Sister Xiao Chang's feet and the underwater monsters that might pop up around her at any time, she almost broke out in a cold sweat.
Be sure to be careful! Zhong Yuan prayed in her heart, and she was ready to pull in the rope that was constantly released as Chang Ruijia swam away.
Putting aside the audacity of the two girls, Shifang on the other side was almost driven crazy.
He no longer had the weapons of Chang Ruijia and Zhong Yuan, and he was exhausted from running for almost a whole day.
Looking at the still empty sea in front of him, Shifang almost cried: If no one can help him, he will really be ruined here.
Fortunately, there is always a way out. Just when Shifang and his group were so numb that their arms were only supported by inertia, several conspicuous floating objects suddenly came into their sight.
"My dear! My dear!" The moment he saw Lu Baian, the tall and strong man almost cried out, "Hurry up and save me, I really can't make it!"
"Ready!" The moment they saw the stone archway, Lu Baian and his group, who had already made preparations, immediately drew their bows and shot, "Release!"
At Lu Baian's command, all kinds of weapons passed through the sea and sank directly into the monster fish that were chasing them relentlessly.
The smell of blood, which had almost dissipated along the way, reappeared in everyone's noses, and the sea was instantly filled with blood and gore.
However, Lu Baian’s training with people near the market during this period was not in vain, not to mention that their number was far greater than the monsters under the sea.
To put it bluntly, just a toothpick per person is enough to kill all those monster fish under the sea.
Almost everyone who had followed Shifang all the way to escape was stunned by the scene before them.
The entire team was divided into three different echelons, and everyone had a weapon in their hands. After the weapons of the first group of people were shot into the sea, the next group of people caught up before they had time to re-equip their weapons.
Batch after batch of weapons were thrown into the sea, not giving the monster fish any time to fight back. Moreover, they seemed to have clairvoyance, and every time they attacked, there would be a trail of blood, and no attack would miss.
Such a well-trained team, such decisive judgment, is this really something that a group of ordinary people can do?
They didn't know the answer, but this didn't affect their original determination to head east to find the official base.
It doesn't seem like a bad thing to join a team like this.
"Where are Chang Ruijia and Zhong Yuan? Didn't they come to pick you up a long time ago?" While the team was restraining the underwater monster, Lu Baian, who had already scanned a large area, approached the floating objects in the stone archway and asked in confusion.
It doesn't make sense that they have already found the Shifang team, but Chang Ruijia and Zhong Yuan, who had set off long ago, are nowhere to be seen.
Shi Fang finally caught his breath after crying continuously. When he heard Lu Baian's words, his face suddenly changed. "Go and save them! Sister Chang has lured away almost all the monster fish to help us share the pressure."
Lu Baian's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the team he led barely managing to gain the upper hand, and thinking about Zhong Yuan, who had almost no fighting power, and Chang Ruijia, the only one who could carry the team, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
How could two girls lead so many people away?! Lu Baian was furious when he heard the news, but when he glanced at Shi Fang, who looked anxious and self-blaming, he couldn't say anything to blame him.
Forget it, not to mention that Zhong Yuan usually has the upper hand in IQ among them, and no one can persuade Chang Ruijia when she insists on her own way.
"Now we can only pray that they are strong enough." Lu Baian sighed, but he couldn't stop the anxiety in his heart.
"Everyone, speed up! We need to resolve this matter as quickly as possible. Two comrades are waiting for us!"
"yes!"
Putting aside Lu Baian’s worries, Chang Ruijia’s actions under the sea on the other side can be said to be unstoppable.
She didn't know if it was the pressure from Xiao Yi beside her, or the damage from the kitchen knives she had shot out before, but Chang Ruijia felt like she had been swimming in the sea for a long time but still didn't see the monster fish that should have appeared.
"Sister Chang, why don't you come back?" Zhong Yuan said worriedly on the other side of the headset.
Chang Ruijia has been in the sea for some time, and she has no idea how far away she is from her bed. If any accident really happens at this distance, no matter how much preparation she makes, she won't be able to do it in time.
In fact, Chang Ruijia had been feeling uneasy about Zhong Yuan's words for a long time.
After all, the underwater world is not her forte, and competing with those monster fish in speed is tantamount to seeking death. But having come this far, it is really hard to accept not taking another step forward.
What's more, as Chang Ruijia looked at the increasingly bloody sea water in front of her, she always felt that the distance between them was not far.
Try again. If there is still no result after swimming for a while, just go back. Chang Ruijia made up her mind, made a gesture to Zhong Yuan to pick up the leak, and continued to swim downstream.
Although Zhong Yuan didn't agree with her current behavior in his heart, he couldn't force her to go back. He could only loosen the rope in his hands more and more cautiously, carefully keeping the last distance between them.
Fortunately, this time, the two people were not disappointed. After just a few steps, Chang Ruijia had already seen her destination this time - the last section of the rope.
But to their surprise, there was no ferocious monster fish as they had imagined, but instead a scene of chaos.
"Oh my God," Zhong Yuan couldn't help but cover his mouth when he saw the scene clearly through the GoPro screen. He was really unable to accept it.
I saw that most of the monster fish that were supposed to stop on the bed and pounce on me ferociously were now left with only some limbs and bodies hanging on the kitchen knife rope, and bright red blood was constantly flowing out of their bodies.
Chang Ruijia then understood why she hadn't encountered any crazy monster fish on her way here. It turned out that they had already lost their lives long ago.
I don’t know if it was because Chang Ruijia was walking with the monster fish that had been bleeding for a long time, but the smell of blood may have attracted monster fish from other areas to come to the buffet, which had already solved most of their troubles.
Although it seems to be something to be thankful for, for Chang Ruijia, this means that her exchange rights were taken away for free, and she was almost furious.
"Sister Xiao Chang, this is such a great thing!" Zhong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Why don't you come back soon? Maybe if we stay for a while longer, we can get rid of the remaining ones."
That won’t do!
Chang Ruijia's eyebrows raised, and she quickly caught up with the ones who had stopped. She had already lost a lot of exchange privileges, and now after losing these few, all her efforts would be in vain!
There was no way to explain too much to Zhong Yuan, but seeing a kitchen knife appear in front of the camera was enough to prove Chang Ruijia's determination and purpose.
"Sister Xiao Chang, you!" The voice coming from Zhong Yuan's headphones conveyed a feeling of worry, especially for her who had never seen anyone go into the sea to face monsters.
But soon, this feeling of concern was replaced by the repeated shouts of "fuck".
…
After Lu Baian led his men to solve the problem of those monster fish with great difficulty, he asked in the group chat about the current location of Chang Ruijia and Zhong Yuan. When he threw away all restraints and rushed over quickly, he could only see Zhong Yuan sitting on the bed with a dazed look on his face.
Lu Baian's heart sank, and an ominous premonition gradually rose in his heart.
"Xiao Zhong, where is Chang, Chang Ruijia?" Lu Baian didn't even bother to organize the team. He rushed to the bed and asked in a trembling voice.
It must not be the answer he imagined! It must not be!
However, the facts gave him a blow.
After hearing Lu Baian's voice, Zhong Yuan subconsciously pointed to the bottom of the sea, but still did not say anything.
"No!" Shifang, who was determined to catch up with Zhong Yuan regardless of his tiredness, lagged behind and caught up with Lu Baian. However, when he saw Zhong Yuan's actions, he almost burst into tears.
It's all his fault! Looking at the calm sea, Shi Fang felt half of his body numb. If it weren't for saving him, how could the always powerful Chang Ruijia have fallen into such a fate?
The two people who were lost in thought did not realize that if Chang Ruijia really died in the sea, how could her floating bed still be carrying Zhong Yuan safely?
Just as the two were immersed in unspeakable grief, a voice suddenly rang in their ears, "You two, what are you doing?"
What? !
Lu Baian and Shi Fang were suddenly startled and looked in the direction of the figure. Suddenly, Chang Ruijia's head emerged from the sea water, looking at them with confusion, as if she was quite puzzled by their constant howling in the face of the sea water.
"Woo," Shifang's cries became increasingly miserable. "Sister Chang, I know you're unwilling to leave. It's all my fault. Don't worry, I'll burn paper for you regularly. You can go without worry. I, Shifang, will never reconcile with the monsters under the sea in this life. I will definitely avenge you..."
Shifang's chattering continued beside his ear, but Lu Baian on the other side quickly realized something was wrong. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Chang Ruijia's half-black face, and Zhong Yuan who didn't react at all to this scene.
"Burn the paper! Keep it for yourself!" Chang Ruijia suddenly jumped onto the edge of the bed, scooped up some seawater and splashed it onto the stone archway. "I just rescued you, and this is how you repay me, right? My immortality is hindering your ability to perform, right?"
"Wuwuwu, Sister Chang..." Although the cold seawater splashing on the sea made him shiver, Shifang still cried unconsciously, "I'm afraid I can't repay your kindness in this life. In the next life, I will be your slave, wuwuwu, don't worry..."
Chang Ruijia rolled her eyes. Why didn’t she think Shifang was a stubborn person before?
"Sister Chang, you're back." Perhaps it was Chang Ruijia's voice that brought Zhong Yuan back to her senses. Seeing the head emerging from under the sea, she suddenly threw herself to the bed and said.
"Ah? Xiao Zhong, can you also see Sister Chang's soul?" Shi Fang said to Zhong Yuan with tears in his eyes, "Wow, Sister Chang must be so worried about us."
Lu Baian's mind, which had been led astray, came back to its senses. After hearing Shi Fang's words, he rolled his eyes and said, "You scared us to death. Don't you know what's going on? How dare you go out to sea? If something really happens..."
Before Lu Baian could finish his words, Chang Ruijia dived into the sea again. In the blink of an eye, four or five monster fish, seven or eight meters long, were thrown to the tail of the bed.
"Burp!" Shi Fang, who was crying, was shocked by the scene before him and burped. He couldn't cry anymore and just stared blankly at the incredible scene before him, "What the hell?!"
Not only Shifang, but also the team that came after and was ready for a fierce battle to rescue people were shocked by the scene before them. They were almost speechless when they saw the frail Chang Ruijia throwing up so many monster fish with one hand.
Only Zhong Yuan, who was already shocked, could not help swallowing and forced herself to calm down. "Sister Xiao Chang, please come up quickly. It's not good to stay in the water all the time."
Just as Chang Ruijia was wiping the water stains off her body and putting on normal clothes over her diving suit, Shi Fang, who had finally reacted, shouted, "Sister Chang, you're actually okay?! Is this true?"
"Are you still hoping that something happens to me?" Chang Ruijia couldn't help teasing him, "I'm not stupid. I went into the sea knowing that I was going to die."
"But you clearly..." You came out of the sea? Shi Fang looked puzzled, but under Lu Baian's hint, he didn't say anything in the end.
After all, everyone has their own secrets, and when Chang Ruijia doesn't want to tell them, excessive prying is really over the line.
"I just went down to the sea to investigate the situation," Chang Ruijia explained patiently, not caring about Lu Baian's sense of boundaries. "It just so happened that I encountered a situation where both sides were hurt, and I was able to profit from it. Besides, who doesn't have some way to save their own lives?"
How can this be a lose-lose situation? After hearing Chang Ruijia's words, Zhong Yuan, who had already seen the whole process through the GoPro on her waist, couldn't help but refute in her heart.
If it was about the monster fish that originally followed them, it could be said that Chang Ruijia had gotten a bargain and could collect some of their broken bodies, but what about those monster fish that had been following them at the buffet?
Those people were all fat and strong, without any sign of the weakness that Chang Ruijia had gotten a great deal on. Even normal adult men would be scared when they saw them.
But what about Chang Ruijia, who now completely compared the situation at that time to something insignificant? He just rushed forward with the kitchen knife, without any sign of fear or worry to retreat.
Moreover, the little sigh that Chang Ruijia had been talking about before took her directly through the monster fish like a shuttle, leaving those creatures with bloody mouths unable to catch up even with their afterimages.
If it weren't for the blood that covered the entire place and even the GoPro couldn't see any images, she wouldn't have been able to count how many complete monster fish there were. She could have directly retrieved the data now.
Looking at Zhong Yuan's face full of disbelief, Chang Ruijia laughed secretly in her heart while talking to Lu Baian. It was not an accident that caused the GoPro to lose sight of the picture.
Even though she has just pulled up four or five monster fish from the sea, there were more than just these creatures chasing her. If she brought them all up, they would be really shocked.
And now, the monster fish corpses that she had blocked using a special method were intact in the Kan Yidao Mall, where she had not made any money for a long time.
Listening to the notification sounds of redemption rights being credited to her account one after another, Chang Ruijia was almost overjoyed, and naturally, she would not let their words affect her mood.
"Oh my god, this is a real tomboy," Shifang muttered to himself. He realized that no matter how shocked he was by Chang Ruijia's methods before, he really underestimated his methods. How could someone who could fight a monster fish for three hundred rounds under the sea be a simple person?
In fact, maybe their visit this time was unnecessary.
"I'm glad you're okay," Lu Baian didn't think too much about it. For him, the most important thing was that they were safe.
"It's okay, but thank you for your concern." Chang Ruijia rarely showed a bright smile, and her eyes curved into crescents.
