Chapter 127 Jumping into the Sea to Save People
How can you tell that Italians are real foodies? Real foodies don’t pick and choose their ingredients; they eat everything!
Italy has its own unique characteristics. For example, cat stew is still a favorite of some Italians today. People in Puglia like to eat dolphin meat, while people in Veneto prefer robin. The main ingredient of Neapolitan chocolate sauce is pig's blood. Although its production is now banned in Italy, when have Italians ever been so obedient to the law?
As for Sicily, it is even more ruthless. Squirrels, dormice, and hedgehogs can all be found on the dining table. The key is that Sicily has an "amnesty". The EU prohibits the fishing of sardine fry, but in Sicily it is allowed to catch and eat sardine fry. The transparent small sardine fry, one or two millimeters wide and one or two centimeters long, are the favorite of the people here.
There's a reason Italy is known as the "China of Europe" when it comes to food. Looking across Europe, when it comes to food alone, Italy is the answer!
After dinner, Xiao Peng and his friends walked to the nightclub, which was not far from their hotel.
The nightclub is located next to the Strait of Messina, but there are no swimming beaches here, only gravel and sandy ones. The currents are turbulent, making swimming in the water a bad idea. The 3,300-meter-wide channel is considered a difficult challenge for swimmers, and even top swimmers rarely venture there. Therefore, the beaches here are usually fenced off with iron railings, creating the appearance of observation decks.
This nightclub's design is quite unique, square and box-like. But the exterior design is quite interesting, painted to resemble shipping containers. To the uninitiated, you might mistake it for a neatly stacked stack of containers. While a purely square building might seem dull, the painted design has transformed it into an attractive architectural feature.
There is now a long queue at the entrance of the nightclub, and many well-dressed young men and women are waiting here to enter, but their eyes are not looking at the nightclub door but at the other side.
It was an observation deck not far from the nightclub. Two women were arguing on it. One was older and dressed casually, while the other was a young and pretty girl. The older woman was begging the younger girl desperately.
The distance and the wind were so strong that no one else could understand what they were talking about. Suddenly, the girl turned to leave, and the older woman reached out and grabbed her arm, but she struggled to get free! During the argument, the older woman accidentally bumped into the observation deck fence. Even drinking cold water would get stuck in her teeth. The woman slipped and fell straight over the fence!
There was the sea below. With a splash, the woman dived into the sea!
The young girl was stunned when she saw this scene, and then she started shouting at the top of her lungs: "Help!"
The onlookers came to their senses and ran to the beach, clinging to the fence and looking down in the light.
"There!" Someone pointed in a direction in the sea with good eyes. Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw an arm struggling on the sea surface about thirty meters away!
The current in the Strait of Messina is truly formidable! In just a short while, the woman was swept so far away.
But the viewing platform was at least ten meters above the sea, and tonight was a new moon! The tides in the Strait of Messina were always strange during the new moon, and the weak light made visibility very poor, so no one dared to go down to help.
"Get out of the way!" Suddenly, someone shouted from behind them. People subconsciously separated and saw a figure rushing out and jumping directly into the sea.
"Fuck, there really are warriors!" someone exclaimed when seeing this scene.
Someone nearby said, "The worst thing is a buy-one-get-one-free deal. Don't let someone die without saving them! People like that are completely irrational! They don't use their brains before acting. Do they really think they're 'Aquaman'? Such behavior is truly foolish!"
After he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting, "Shut up! What else can you do besides standing on the shore and making sarcastic remarks? You're so smart, why don't you save people! If you have time to talk nonsense, why don't you come up with an idea to save people!"
Another person said, "I suggest you get out of here right away. If anything happens to my brother, I'll take care of you. I mean what I say!"
The two people who were talking were Pascal and Fabian. One of them was holding Xiao Peng's shoes, and the other was holding Xiao Peng's coat.
The 'smart guy' who was speaking wanted to say something harsh when he saw Pascal and Fabian, but when he saw everyone around him looking at him with disgust, he coughed twice and left the scene in disgrace.
After watching him leave, she carried Pascal to the edge of the fence, glanced at the turbulent current, and complained to Fabian, "You bastard! Why didn't you stop him?"
Fabian said with a bitter face: "Didn't you stop it?"
"Then why are you holding his shoes?" Pascal said angrily
"Aren't you holding his coat too?" Fabian retorted.
The two men were also confused now. They were curious about what happened here just now. Xiao Peng directly stuffed his shoes and coats to them. Before they knew what was going on, Xiao Peng had jumped out of the fence of the observation deck and dived into the sea.
Fabian and Pascal lay on the edge of the fence looking for Xiao Peng.
After a while, Xiao Peng's head emerged from the water and shouted to them, "Xiao Pa, Fabian, don't worry about me, I know what I'm doing!" After that, he dived into the sea.
To be honest, Xiao Peng regretted it as soon as he started his business. What could he achieve by trying this?
It wasn't because the seawater was so cold right now. The strange mucous membrane that appeared on Xiao Peng's body surface when he entered the seabed could not only withstand high pressure, but also low temperatures. Xiao Peng felt much more comfortable in the sea than on land!
But the currents in the Strait of Messina are really amazing! The seabed topography here is really unique!
The Strait of Messina is flanked by two ocean basins thousands of meters deep. Its location feels like a threshold, with water pressure concentrated in this narrow channel, causing the current to accelerate rapidly. Furthermore, various small undercurrents collide with each other within the strait! No wonder building a bridge here is so difficult; this is the most complex sea condition Xiao Peng has encountered so far.
If Xiao Peng was still a diver, he would not dare to go into the water in such sea conditions!
Xiao Peng dived into the water and adjusted his direction, using his underwater super vision to search for the woman.
When he found the woman, he was shocked: "Oh my god, she's been swept away for a hundred meters! The current in the Strait of Messina is really not exaggerated!"
The woman obviously couldn't swim and was struggling desperately! Xiao Peng quickly swam towards her after determining the direction!
