Chen Nanxing squeezed her hand twice, then turned to indicate that she needed to inform the people next to her. Li Ke knew that Xia Qing and Meng Yu were next to her. Seeing her move over to her, Li Ke also changed direction to inform the other team members.
Underwater missions are planned in advance. If any teammate senses something is wrong, they can request to terminate the mission and return the entire team. Everyone must cooperate.
Li Ke notified the people on both sides and began to swim upstream. Her sense of urgency grew stronger and stronger. The water rippled slightly beside her, and someone followed her. Only when they got closer did Li Ke realize that it was Chen Nanxing.
She patted Li Ke on the shoulder and pointed to the side next to her. Li Ke slowed down and looked to the side as she was told, but didn't find anything wrong.
Immediately afterwards, Li Ke felt a lightness followed by a tightness on her back. Her oxygen tank had detached from her back, and Chen Nanxing was now clinging tightly to Li Ke like an octopus, with his legs wrapped around her waist and his arms around her upper body.
Li Ke reacted quickly, drawing the dagger from her forearm and stabbing Chen Nanxing in the neck with her backhand. Just then, Li Ke suddenly felt a sharp pain in her waist as a row of sharp thorns pierced her waist.
Chen Nanxing was equipped with a mechanism; a spiked waist ring was locked around Li Ke's body, and together with Chen Nanxing behind her.
Li Ke's dagger slashed off course and stabbed Chen Nanxing in the shoulder. Li Ke then changed her movements, thrusting the dagger downwards towards Chen Nanxing's waist and abdomen. Even if she had to hide in the space, she had to cripple Chen Nanxing first.
However, this diagonal attack did not go smoothly. Chen Nanxing had protective gear around his waist, and Li Ke's movements were momentarily hindered. The faint, intermittent whistling sound suddenly intensified, followed by a raging tornado in the water.
The safety ropes on Li Ke and Chen Nanxing had been cut at some point. Li Ke was swept up by the water and bumped several times. In the dizzying moment, she felt her head getting heavier and heavier, but Chen Nanxing on her back seemed to be attached to her body and was still clinging to her tightly.
Li Ke felt she must have been drugged, otherwise she wouldn't have been unable to hold on for even a short while. Why would Chen Nanxing do this? Who exactly is she?
This girl is quite the actress. Li Ke didn't notice anything wrong with her at all. Could it be that someone higher up wanted to arrest her? It doesn't make sense; it's just unnecessary.
Judging from her actions, she seemed to be trying to restrain her, but not immediately kill her; her goal was likely to capture her.
But she chose to operate underwater. Was she preventing herself from going back because she knew a waterspout would occur there?
Given the current situation, Chen Nanxing might be in a better position than her. Even if Li Ke entered the space, she might not have a chance of winning. She decided to wait and see. Since the other party didn't seem to intend to kill her, she had a chance to turn the tables.
Then she felt something envelop her and Chen Nanxing, but the feeling of being churned up by the waterspout at high speed became even more intense, and she soon fainted.
