A normal adult can hold their breath for about a minute, and even less underwater.
However, people with superpowers are much stronger than normal people, but no matter how strong they are, they can only hold it for three or four minutes at most.
Chi Xia turned back to find Qin Zhao, and then led Qin Zhao upstream. During this time, she was already close to the limit of how long she could hold her breath.
This is her limit, and naturally, it's also Qin Zhao's limit.
Chi Xia's vision was already blurry, her mind was starting to feel foggy, not to mention the tightness in her chest.
Finally, the sea was getting closer.
Seeing the dawn, Chi Xia's spirits suddenly lifted, as if in a final burst of energy before death. With her last bit of strength, she leaped out of the sea and took a deep breath.
The cool, fresh air filled her lungs, making her cough, but she didn't care about herself at all. With a strong pull, she dragged Qin Zhao out of the water.
Qin Zhao was unconscious, his lips and face were pale, obviously stunned by the impact of falling into the sea and then sinking to the bottom.
If they were on the ground, she might have been able to help him squeeze the water out of his chest and abdomen and give him artificial respiration to save him.
But this is the sea, and there's nowhere that can support her weight so she can perform these first aid measures.
Chi Xia held Qin Zhao with one hand and used the other to haphazardly touch his neck to make sure he still had a heartbeat.
Qin Zhao's heart was still beating, and Chi Xia frantically tried to breathe into him several times, but he still didn't wake up.
Chi Xia was almost in tears when she saw the unconscious Qin Zhao. She yelled at him, "Wake up!!"
However, Qin Zhao couldn't hear him, so his shout was useless.
If a person is drowning and cannot be rescued in time, you can only watch helplessly as their heart gradually stops beating.
Chi Xia was so anxious that tears were about to come out. She had never felt so helpless before. She would rather be hit by the huge impact and die, or drown in the sea, than watch Qin Zhao die in front of her.
The large ship rescuing the hostages was not far away, and the people on board were still immersed in the aftermath of fear, so no one noticed that only two of their heads had emerged from the sea.
Helplessness and despair enveloped Chi Xia.
Chi Xia refused to give up and tried to give Qin Zhao artificial respiration again and again, but Qin Zhao's eyes remained tightly closed, without even the slightest tremor.
Time passed slowly, and Chi Xia was already in tears. She murmured desperately, "Someone save him, save him!!"
Little Tail panicked and said urgently, "Mom, don't cry. Put me close to his skin and I'll release a little current to shock him."
This was a last resort, but Chi Xia regarded it as her last lifeline. She hurriedly took the little tail out of her pocket and placed it between Qin Zhao's neck and collar.
Little Tail didn't dare use too much current. He released a little bit to stimulate Qin Zhao, but there was no reaction at all.
Little Tail was also panicked. Undeterred, he released the electric current three more times, each time stronger than the last. The last time, it was so strong that Chi Xia, who was holding Qin Zhao, convulsed.
However, Qin Zhao remained focused, and the only saving grace was that, due to the stimulation of his body by the electric current, he began to breathe again.
Chi Xia was overjoyed to see this and hurriedly urged Xiao Weiba to continue, but Xiao Weiba said to her, "No, Mom. The last electric current was already the limit of the human body. If it happens a few more times, his heart will be damaged and he will really never wake up again."
"Then...what should we do?" Chi Xia asked anxiously and helplessly, "Look, he's breathing, he's about to wake up!"
