"What's the big fuss about? Explain yourself, what happened?"
Zhang Youwei reprimanded a waiter-looking man who ran in.
"Someone has fallen into the sea."
"Where's the rescue team? Let them go into the water and retrieve it."
"The rescue team went down, but they didn't come back up."
The man, panting heavily, wiped the sweat from his brow, his face filled with panic.
Zhang Youwei couldn't sit still any longer. He pushed his chair aside and ran out, giving the order at the same time:
"Immediately call the police, request water rescue, dial the emergency medical services, and call a helicopter..."
As expected of a senior executive of a large company, he instantly assessed the critical situation.
If an ordinary person falls into the water, with the help of a rescue team, there shouldn't be any major problems.
But now that the rescue team is gone, the problem must be serious.
The ragtag crew on the cruise ship simply couldn't handle this kind of situation.
Faced with such a major incident, everyone dropped their cards, put on their shoes, and ran outside.
In no time, Gao Yang had a pretty good grasp of the situation.
One passenger, presumably on his first time at sea, was so excited that he wanted to go into the water, but unfortunately refused the security personnel's suggestion that he fasten his safety harness.
So he drifted quite far, which was still normal at this point. When a person drifts far away, a small boat can easily bring him back.
The problem was that just as the boat arrived and before he could get on, a large wave suddenly appeared underwater.
The people on the boat, along with the busybody, were all submerged underwater.
If that's the case, then it's easy to handle.
There was more than one motorboat on the large ship; there happened to be one more.
At worst, we can send another person over and pull them out.
But suddenly a tentacle emerged from underwater and completely engulfed the motorboat.
Is there something underwater?
Zhang Youwei's expression shifted between light and dark, and his hands gripping the railing began to tremble.
"Yes, we don't know what kind of monster it is, so the rescue team is too scared to go down any further."
The security captain also looked terrified. He had already put on his diving suit and was ready to go down and rescue the people.
But that giant tentacle terrified him. Forget about saving people; if he dared to go into the water, it would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog—gone forever.
"How much time has passed?"
"One minute."
The security captain glanced at the waterproof watch on his wrist and felt utterly hopeless.
Gao Ang quietly slipped out of the crowd, and while he was at it, he also picked up the oxygen cylinder that the security captain had placed aside.
Everyone was leaning over the railing looking down, but no one noticed his unusual behavior.
It's only one minute; if there's enough time, there's still hope for these two people to be saved.
If an ordinary person drowns, their survival time is about 2-3 minutes, and at most no more than 10 minutes.
It's about ten meters from here to the location of the motorboat.
Based on my impressive swimming grades in college, I could swim 50 meters in 45 seconds, and it would only take me 10 seconds to get there.
Of course, his body is very different now than it was before, and this time can be shortened by almost half, to about 5 seconds, or even less.
The only problem to consider is the underwater monster. According to these people, it has tentacles as thick as a bowl. What a terrifying monster that must be!
In the past, Gao Ang would have stayed on the ship with a clear conscience, at most silently praying for the two of them, because there was nothing he could do back then.
But things are different now. At least his physical body is strong enough. He doesn't believe that a sea monster with tentacles can do anything to a monster that can't even be killed by lightning.
The only problem he needed to worry about was breathing, which is why he brought an oxygen tank.
If there's a chance to save two lives, he won't allow himself to stand idly by.
As for waiting for rescue, that's all hindsight.
They had been gone for quite some time, and the coastline was long gone, replaced by a vast expanse of sea.
Whether it's a boat or a helicopter, it will take at least 10 minutes to get there, and those 10 minutes could be enough to kill those two people.
He stripped down to his underwear, glanced around, and found no one else had noticed him.
He then grabbed the oxygen tank, bit the breathing nozzle, and jumped directly into the sea.
After securing the oxygen tank to himself, Gao Ang opened his eyes underwater and scanned the surroundings before spotting the two people beneath the surface.
Even from more than ten meters away, Gao Feng could see it very clearly.
One of them had already started to sink slowly; he was wearing floral shorts and was probably the one who had courted death.
Another creature, fully clad in a wetsuit, was still struggling to break free from the tentacles that were toying with it.
What was provoking him was indeed a water monster, or rather, a giant squid.
This giant squid was completely beyond Gao Feng's comprehension; its entire body was much larger than their cruise ship.
There was no time to ponder why such a large squid would be interested in two small humans, nor to think about why it hadn't killed them yet.
With its hands and feet moving swiftly, it shot out from the water like an arrow released from a bow.
His arms and legs swung rapidly, so fast that they appeared as afterimages.
Especially his two long legs, which swung like a turbine, propelling him forward rapidly.
13 seconds.
It took him only 13 seconds from leaving the crowd to picking up the oxygen tank and reaching the bottom of the capsized motorboat.
It took less than 4 seconds underwater; the rest of the time was wasted on the surface.
The giant squid did not interfere with his visit; instead, it allowed itself to nibble at the rescuers' tentacles.
Once he broke free, the rescuers immediately rushed upwards, not even noticing Gao Liang approaching him.
"They're out! They're out!"
When the rescuers surfaced, the people on the cruise ship cheered.
"And the other person?"
Zhang Youwei started shouting at the top of his lungs.
This person is safe, but what about the other one?
The other person had no equipment at all, and was the first to fall into the water, with no gear on him, and so much time had passed.
The rescuers swam toward the cruise ship without hesitation, not even having the courage to look back.
"What are you doing? Go back and save people!"
"Old Hu, go back and rescue people!" The security captain, who was also the rescue captain, shouted at the top of his lungs.
While the crowd on the surface of the water was in an uproar, Gao Ang, who was underwater, noticed that the giant squid did not seem to have any ill intentions towards him. He immediately turned around and was about to chase after another person who had fallen into the water.
This guy is probably about to die; there are barely any bubbles at the corners of his mouth, so he must have drunk a lot of water.
Fortunately, the guy was already in shock and wouldn't pester the rescuers.
Gao Ang scooped up the unlucky guy or the lucky one around the waist, activated the turbocharger again, and rushed towards the water.
When he broke the surface, he chose to surface from the back of the motorboat.
That way, his true identity wouldn't be discovered by the people on the cruise ship.
With a powerful swing of his arms and a twist of his waist, Gao Feng threw the guy onto the capsized motorboat.
"It's out, another one has come out."
"Amitabha Buddha, may the Buddha protect you."
The passengers on the cruise ship saw the motorboat gradually accelerating and rapidly approaching, leaving a large spray of water behind it.
Gao Gao, who had submerged his entire body underwater, swung his legs rapidly in an attempt to escape the giant squid's threatening range as much as possible.
Well, even being on a cruise ship doesn't guarantee safety.
But at least getting this person onto the boat is better than leaving him in the water.
Once the motorboat touched the cruise ship, Gao Feng submerged again.
He wasn't going to meet that giant squid; he was trying to find a way to escape.
The person has been rescued, and he needs to quickly return to the crowd to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
When he returned to the ship, no one noticed anything unusual about him.
They were all gathered around the two people who had been rescued, talking amongst themselves.
"Old Hu, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but as a member of the rescue team, how could you..."
The security captain angrily kicked Old Hu, wishing he could slap him twice.
"Alright, Lao Liu, it's good enough that one of them came back under those circumstances."
"Yeah, you didn't see that huge tentacle, it was terrifying."
"Let's hurry back. If that thing really causes trouble, our ship won't be safe either."
"Yes, yes, let's hurry back to base."
Zhang Youwei ignored them, let out a long sigh, and then roared, "Scatter, all of you, and don't fucking huddle together!"
The medical staff on the cruise ship had begun to provide first aid to the unfortunate man, who vomited a puddle of water every time they pressed the button.
Are you alright?
"It's alright. Fortunately, they were rescued in time, and they still have a heartbeat and pulse."
"That's good, that's good."
Zhang Youwei and Liu Guangqi exchanged a glance, both still shaken.
If someone really dies, they will have to take the blame.
They were the ones who proposed this trip to sea, they were the ones who rented the cruise ship, they were the ones who gathered the people, and they were the ones in charge.
Paying money to settle the matter would be the least of their worries; being fired by the company is not out of the question, and they might even face lawsuits and spend a few more years in jail.
From the time they ran out of the entertainment hall to the time the two people who had fallen into the water were rescued, the whole process took less than two minutes.
If it weren't for the capsized motorboat next to the cruise ship, people who had just woken up wouldn't even know that such a thing had happened.
On the other side of the cruise ship, Gao Ang had already changed into his floral shorts and floral shirt, and he simply threw the oxygen tank into the sea.
It's troublesome to bring this thing up, and it's not easy to hide. If someone with sharp eyes notices it, it'll be hard to explain.
Just throw it into the sea and be done with it. With such a big incident, no one would care if we just threw away an oxygen tank.
I was walking with my feet turned in the air when I ran into my senior sister.
"Where did you go?"
"Just taking a stroll."
"What are you wandering around for? Pack your things and get ready to go back. Also, stay inside and don't run around."
Du Yibing didn't say anything more and strode off the ship's cabin.
"You're back already?"
Gao Ang pretended to be indifferent and said something to Zhang Youwei who was walking over.
"It's time to go back. That thing underwater is terrifying. Come on, let me show you the video taken by the drone."
Zhang Youwei grabbed Gao Feng and led him to the top floor.
Gao Feng and his group all have their rooms here. The lighting is good, the air is fresh, and most importantly, the people are not that complicated.

P.S.
Just to reiterate, there aren't many mysterious creatures, and it's not a spiritual revival.
The world is so big, it's normal to have a few unusual creatures and humans, but they're definitely not commonplace.
Ordinary people would not know that people wearing Zhongshan suits are also normal human beings.
