Unexpectedly, they never returned. After searching for a while but not finding them, they went back up to get a new oxygen tank and went back down.
Unexpectedly, they still couldn't find it, and now everyone was in a complete panic.
It's important to know that the oxygen in this cylinder is limited; based on the time, it can probably last for about 20 more minutes.
In another 20 minutes, even if this person is still alive, he will suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen.
Wang Defa, who had been listening from the side, whispered to Ye Cheng, "This underwater cave has no bottom. You can just go down and pretend to be okay. If you really go in, you might end up getting yourself killed."
Ye Cheng pursed his lips, at a loss for words. Damn it, you old bastard, you're still the one who's going to mess around.
I really don't want things to end if they can't be saved, so I just go down there to make a show of it. How could he even think of that?
“I can go down. Give me two sets of diving equipment and let Xiaohu come down with me.”
"What? Tiger is going down too? No way." Wang Defa immediately shook his head and disagreed when he heard that Tiger wanted to go down as well. "He's my own nephew. If something happens to him, how am I supposed to explain it to his parents?"
"Second Uncle, I can explain myself, why do I need you to explain?" Xiao Hu said gruffly.
"No, Xiao Hu, it's dangerous down there, and they're not paying you. Why are you going down there?" Wang Defa said so loudly that everyone present could hear him.
Old Li coughed and said in a serious tone,
"Don't worry, old comrade, we will thank you if you manage to rescue the person."
Wang Defa muttered something as he glanced at the old man. The man had a serious expression and looked very knowledgeable, so Wang Defa didn't dare to say anything more.
Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu put on diving suits and tied a rope around their waists. His plan was for Xiao Hu to wait at the cave entrance while he went down, and the rope was just in case.
Three minutes had passed, and there were still 17 minutes left. They couldn't wait any longer, so Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu walked to the side of the boat and prepared to get into the water.
Just then, Xiao Rou ran over, her eyes a little watery, looking at Ye Cheng with concern.
"Ye Cheng, be careful."
Ye Cheng gave an OK sign and flipped himself into the water.
Everyone stood on the deck, looking at the water; whether they could be rescued depended on this one chance.
As soon as he got into the water, Ye Cheng threw off his oxygen mask; it was a bit redundant for him.
Xiao Hu wasn't surprised; he knew Ye Cheng could dive underwater for a long time.
The sea wasn't very deep, only about ten meters, but strangely, Ye Cheng didn't find any shipwrecks after he went down.
Didn't they say they were here to salvage the sunken ship?
As for underwater caves, there are quite a few in this area. The largest one is nearly ten square meters in size. Looking down, you can only see deep darkness, with no bottom in sight.
According to the two divers, they went down into this cave to look for something.
Ye Cheng instructed Xiao Hu to stay in water about ten meters deep, as going too deep would be bad for his health. He then went down with a rope and had Xiao Hu slowly lower the rope from above.
Upon entering the cave, a chill swept over us, and the surrounding scenery became blurry. While we could see some small fish swimming outside the cave, the cave itself became much quieter.
Seaweed swayed gently on the cave walls. No one knew what lay beneath it—maybe abalone, lobster, or perhaps danger.
Ye Cheng dared not move around recklessly in this unfamiliar place.
According to the divers, the person disappeared in a side path below the main cave.
Because of the tight schedule, Ye Cheng started to head downstream after getting used to the environment for a while.
He swam several meters deeper, but the seawater was too deep, and the lights he brought couldn't shine very far. Fortunately, he discovered that his underwater vision had improved a lot, probably because of the system, and he could barely see his surroundings.
This location is estimated to be 30 to 40 meters underwater; most divers would stop here.
Ye Cheng looked around and saw many forks in the road, each one pitch black, making it impossible to tell which one was the right one.
No wonder the two couldn't be found earlier. Even if you put searchlights on them, it would probably take them more than an hour to circle around.
Having no other choice, Ye Cheng had to make a blind selection.
"A mobilization of troops..."
Before he had even finished ordering, Ye Cheng was surprised to find a sea turtle leisurely swimming past him.
For those who go out to sea, sea turtles are considered auspicious symbols, and even if they catch one while fishing, they will quickly release it back into the sea.
What does it mean that a giant sea turtle has suddenly appeared in this eerie, dark cave?
The sea turtle slowly turned its head and glanced at him, its eyes filled with kindness.
(Well, actually Ye Cheng couldn't tell if it was kind or not; it was just his feeling.)
Ye Cheng stared in astonishment at the giant sea turtle that had appeared. Its appearance was so strange; could it be some kind of divine instruction for him?
Just then, the sea turtle suddenly turned and swam into a cave beneath it.
grass!
Did I make a choice for myself?
Ye Cheng couldn't care less about anything else and followed the sea turtle into the cave.
After swimming through a narrow passage, it suddenly widened. The sea turtle was gone, but a light suddenly appeared ahead.
Although there are bioluminescent fish in the sea, Ye Cheng preferred to believe that the person he was looking for was right in front of him.
He pushed off with both feet and swam quickly towards it. The light grew brighter and brighter; it was a diving light that had fallen to the bottom of the cave.
Since they're here, the missing person must be here.
Ye Cheng sank to the bottom of the cave and found the light.
I thought we'd have to find someone else, but it turns out the diver was lying right there by the light fixture.
However, he had already passed out. Ye Cheng tugged at him, but he didn't react at all.
He struggled to lift him up, glanced at the oxygen tank behind him, and saw it was almost empty.
With no other option, Ye Cheng decisively swapped her oxygen mask for his.
While changing his mask, the man choked on some water and immediately woke up, looking at Ye Cheng with terrified eyes, his hands instinctively trying to push Ye Cheng away.
Ye Cheng pointed upwards, indicating that he had also come down from there.
The man calmed down this time. Ye Cheng moved around a couple of times, thinking that the man could keep up, but he didn't expect that the man's hands and feet couldn't exert any strength at all.
Ye Cheng had no choice but to untie the rope from his body, tie it around Xiao Hu's body, and then swim away with him, pulling the rope as he swam. He just didn't know if Xiao Hu could feel it from this distance.
While swimming, the diver even took off his oxygen mask and gave Ye Cheng a few breaths.
Ye Cheng didn't refuse, as it wouldn't be a good thing to appear too awesome.
