After listening to John's rambling monologue, Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou exchanged a glance.
Their earlier guess was correct; John indeed knew nothing about the purpose of their trip.
It seems he is also one of the decoys played by Mr. Kim.
"What's wrong, Fu? Am I wrong?"
"Yes, yes, we came here for diving."
Fu Wan nodded hurriedly, "Young man, do a good job, I'll treat you to a big meal later."
John immediately perked up again, "That depends on how well we do today!"
After Bai Qianzhou boarded the ship, he went to the helm. John did not suspect anything and was happy to have some peace and quiet.
This person even started fiddling with a fishing rod, looking like he was on vacation.
With the rudder in your own hands, you can go wherever you want.
When John looked up again to observe his surroundings, he realized that Bai Qianzhou had sailed the boat somewhere else.
"Bai, this position doesn't seem right. Wait, slow down a bit."
John's expression turned serious, and Fu Wan also sensed something was wrong, but the coordinates Smith had reported were already right in front of them.
"Look at the color of the sea over there, isn't it deeper?"
Fu Wan noticed something amiss, so Bai Qianzhou simply stopped the boat. They were less than fifty meters away from the darker-colored area of the sea.
The color of the sea is actually closely related to the blue sky and the sun. There is a saying that you shouldn't look at the sea on a cloudy day because the sea is basically grayish-green on a cloudy day.
On sunny days, the seawater reflects different colors due to the varying depths of the ocean.
It can be said that the deeper the sea, the bluer the water.
The sea that John pointed out to them was a deep blue, a stark contrast to the light blue waters around it.
“I grew up in Florida and have been to this area countless times. If I remember correctly, it’s a place that’s off-limits.”
John wiped the sweat from his brow. Luckily, he discovered it in time, otherwise they might be meeting their maker today.
"Is that the deep sea area?"
Fu Wan couldn't help but feel a little strange; it didn't make sense that ships weren't allowed to go to the deep sea area.
It's likely that the area there is far more complex than just the deep sea.
Sure enough, the next second John shook his head, looking apprehensive, and said, "It's not just the deep sea area; there are whirlpool cliffs there. If a ship gets close, it could easily be swept into the sea."
? ! ! ?
Damn Smith!
Fu Wan was somewhat incredulous, "Why didn't anyone warn us about this dangerous place?"
John shrugged. "Everyone in the area knows that. As for the occasional unlucky soul who happens to pass by, well, that's just a matter of God's blessing."
What kind of person could come up with such a way to manage the sea? Fu Wan didn't know what to say at the moment, and could only shake her head and sigh.
No wonder there are so few people abroad, the living conditions are too harsh!
Knowing there was a whirlpool ahead, the ship could not sail any further.
Fu Wan thought for a moment and then suggested to Bai Qianzhou, "Why don't you guys stay here and fish nearby? I'll go down and check the situation."
"Ah Wan, let's forget about it. Maybe the information they gave us is wrong."
Bai Qianzhou understood the meaning behind her words and immediately offered some worried advice.
Fu Wan shook her head. The address Smith gave might be wrong, but since they were already here, what if they guessed wrong and it was okay?
No one was 100% certain that the Imperial Seal was not at the bottom of the sea beneath their feet.
"It's alright, you know my abilities. I'll go down and take a look. If anything's wrong, I'll come back up right away."
Seeing that she was determined, Bai Qianzhou immediately took off his coat as well. He was also wearing a wetsuit underneath, and now all he needed to do was put on his flippers and oxygen so he could go down with Fu Wan.
"Then I'll go with you."
"No need, you stay here with John."
Bai Qianzhou refused to agree no matter what. Just like John had said, there were whirlpools and cliffs, and an underwater whirlpool. If something happened to Fu Wan here, he didn't want to go back.
Fu Wan had no choice but to let him go.
After the two put on their flippers, John belatedly realized that he was the only one on the boat.
"God, are you all going to go to sea?"
“Yes, John, you can fish here, or you can wait for us here in your boat.”
John thought for a moment and said, "God bless you, I'll be waiting for you on the ship."
Fu Wan wasn't interested in what he did on the boat, as long as he didn't run away.
After checking their equipment, the two women jumped into the sea. John watched them disappear into the water, sighed, and shook his head.
These two ignorant and arrogant Chinese people are actually snorkeling here. He is still watching the sea so that if there is any movement, he can call for help.
John sighed and then packed up the fishing rods they had brought. It was then that he discovered there was an oxygen supply system on the boat.
Good heavens, could it be that Fu or Bai forgot to bring oxygen?
John tried to recall, but the possibility was slim; he clearly saw them check his equipment.
That leaves only one possibility: one of the two must be an exceptionally good swimmer. He leaned towards Bai Qianzhou, because men generally have better lung capacity than women, allowing them to hold their breath for longer.
John was making wild guesses on the boat, while Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou had already dived more than twenty meters underwater.
When they first went into the water, they couldn't see many fish. Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou dived for more than ten minutes before they saw clusters of beautiful coral.
They are colorful and come in various shapes.
There were also many fish swimming around in the coral reef. Fu Wan was captivated by the beautiful scenery and only remembered her purpose for coming down after half a minute.
The map provided by the camp showed that the coordinates Smith mentioned were about ten meters away from the deep-sea whirlpool.
This is all about the thrill. Fu Wan turned around and glanced at Bai Qianzhou, who was following beside her. The two smiled at each other and then swam in that direction together.
Fu Wan swam for several minutes, and just as she was about to reach that spot, she suddenly felt something bump against her waist.
She thought it was just a passing fish, but then the thing bumped into her again, and even seemed to be trying to stop her from moving forward.
Fu Wan looked down, puzzled, and met a pair of large, dark eyes. She was startled for a second, but after seeing what it was, she almost laughed.
It was a baby seal, which looked to be only about six months old. Fu Wan wanted to laugh because there was a small eel stuck in the child's nostril!
Looking into the seal's bewildered eyes, Fu Wan couldn't help but wonder if it had been bullied by a moray eel and had come to her for help.
Doing a good deed every day, Fu Wan naturally didn't hesitate to lend a helping hand to seals, which are intelligent animals.
Bai Qianzhou swam forward a short distance, but when he realized that Fu Wan hadn't followed, he swam back.
To be honest, Fu Wan really doesn't like conger eel. Although it tastes good, its sticky texture gives her goosebumps.
But to help the baby seal, I'll endure the disgust!
