The moment the whirlpool was about to form, the people on the water noticed something was wrong. For safety reasons, the ship was moored at a certain distance from both the shipwreck site and the black hole.
Therefore, after Xia Ji and his group realized that something was wrong, their three ships immediately issued an order to set sail and move away, which can be described as an extremely efficient response.
The weather was still bitterly cold today, but fortunately the wind and waves were calm, which made things easier for Xia Ji and his team.
A minute after the ship left, the swirling eddies had become quite terrifying. Even though they were far away, they were still not in an absolutely safe zone, and the ship had begun to veer off course due to the rotation of the water.
At this point, they no longer cared about which destination they were heading to. They increased their speed and each of the three boats sailed independently against the current, heading towards a more distant place. Two minutes later, they finally escaped the whirlpool, but they did not dare to relax for a moment and continued to sail into the distance.
An hour and a half later, everything calmed down. Xia Ji sat in the cockpit, observing the water in the distance, his expression gloomy. Under these circumstances, their only option was to protect themselves and escape as far away as possible.
But looking at the calm water in the distance, Xia Ji felt that things were not so simple, and his teammates underwater were likely in grave danger.
But as the sky grew darker and darker, no matter how anxious he was, he could only wait out the night and then go out to check on the rescue efforts based on the situation.
After calming herself down, Xia Ji began organizing materials to report the relevant information to her superiors.
Deep in the ocean, the black hole returned to calm, but the shipwreck near the black hole had disappeared. After a while, the surrounding ground suddenly began to move, converging towards the entrance of the black hole.
Once the ground movement ceased, the seabed topography had already undergone new changes, and the once abyss-like black hole was nowhere to be found.
Li Ke woke up a while earlier than she expected. At least they hadn't come out of the water yet. The high-tech protective gear that had enveloped her and Chen Nanxing had been removed, and Chen Nanxing was holding her as they swam towards the surface.
Although Li Ke had woken up, she pretended to be unconscious. Judging from the light reflected in the water, they should be not far from the surface.
As soon as the two surfaced, Chen Nanxing took out a flashlight and shone it into the distance. Xia Qing and Meng Yu, who had surfaced a step earlier than them, were also nearby.
Meng Yu was still a little dizzy, while Xia Qing was in better condition. At this moment, she stared fiercely at Chen Nanxing, her eyes full of questioning and hatred.
Chen Nanxing met Xia Qing's gaze and curled her lips indifferently. At this moment, she was in a very good mood. She had completed the mission very well!
In the distance, lights responded to her signal, and soon a boat surfaced and headed toward them. Chen Nanxing's eyes shone even brighter.
Xia Qing frowned and used the safety rope to pull the exhausted Meng Yu closer to Chen Nanxing.
Chen Nanxing turned around to look at her as if he had expected it, his eyebrows slightly curved as he looked at Xia Yu with a hint of mockery: "What? Your hot-blooded spirit has been rekindled? It's not wise of you to want to fight me again now."
As Chen Nanxing spoke, he picked up one of Li Ke's arms in front of him and fiddled with it.
Seeing the nervousness flash in Xia Qing's eyes, she laughed again, "You're nervous about her again now. You've already chosen to cooperate with me, so there's no need to make this helpless expression anymore, is there? It looks funny."
Although Meng Yu's head was still very dizzy, Chen Nanxing's words vaguely entered her ears. She shook her head vigorously, trying to clear her mind.
Xia Qing's restrained voice finally rang out: "What did you do to her? She was just seriously injured. You don't want to take a dead person back with you, do you?"
Chen Nanxing blinked, put an arm around Li Ke's upper body, made a very cute expression, placed his fingers on Li Ke's pulse, and looked at Xia Qing with bright eyes: "How could that be? Her pulse is very healthy. She is the most resilient mission target I have ever seen, and her recovery ability is also super strong. I just gave her some anesthetic. Apart from the larger dosage and stronger effect, I didn't do anything else."
Meng Yu finally placed her hand on Xia Qing's shoulder: "What are you talking about? Xia Qing, what did you do? You used an anesthetic on Ke Ke, why?"
Li Ke, who was pretending to be unconscious, had the same question when she heard Meng Yu's question.
Xia Qing didn't speak, and the submarine finally arrived. Chen Nanxing sighed with a smile, "Everyone is exhausted. There might still be survivors waiting for us to rescue them underwater. Let's get on the boat first, my lovely friends."
Meng Yu stared at Xia Qing, a bad feeling creeping into her heart. But she and Xia Qing were best friends who had been through thick and thin together, and she couldn't believe that Xia Qing would do something so inappropriate.
"Xia Qing, tell me, what exactly happened?" Meng Yu pressed.
Xia Qing avoided Meng Yu's gaze: "Let's get on the boat first. Once we're on board and have rescued the others, I'll tell you everything."
Chen Nanxing had already brought Li Ke onto the boat. After removing the buckle from his waist, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It doesn't look like there's much meat on it, but it's quite heavy. Looks like I need to practice more."
Some of her companions on the ship who were there to meet her were very curious about Li Ke and wanted to reach out and lift her body as she lay down to get a better look at her.
Chen Nanxing knew their wicked nature well, so he pulled out his belt and struck them, saying, "This is my spoils of war, and no one is allowed to touch it!"
Despite their reluctance, those people obeyed and stopped their actions because of Chen Nanxing's status. The people next to them also pulled Xia Qing and Meng Yu up.
