Chapter 314: The Dangerous Rising Tide
There was a hint of inquiry in the corner of Chu Qiao's eyes, and there was coldness hidden under the smile. He looked at Xiao Wang to see what reason he could have to refuse.
[Damn, Master Chu is so domineering.]
【Chu Hanhan is also very good at arguing with people.】
[What happened just now? Why does Master Chu look a little angry?]
[Brother Feng: Don't talk nonsense, Master Chu has a very good temper.]
…
Xiao Wang was not convinced. Although he started to move his hands, he was very hesitant and slow.
Huang Li and Director Xiao had already packed up, but Xiao Wang was still moving slowly, like an old ox pulling a broken cart.
Huang Li shrank her neck when she thought of Chu Qiao's precise budget every time. Her life was more important.
"Xiao Wang, how about I help you? If we keep cleaning up like this, it will be dark and we will have to set up camp here."
"No need, I can do it myself." Xiao Wang didn't know what was wrong with him, and he spoke in a rather harsh tone.
Chu Qiao's mouth curled up, which further confirmed that there was something wrong with Xiao Wang.
How could a person who is not very familiar with the wilderness linger even though he knows there is danger, unless there is the temptation of profit?
Chu Qiao looked at the sky and picked up the garbage bags left over by several people and put them on himself.
"I'm leaving first, and those who come later can follow."
Huang Li hesitated for a moment and followed Chu Qiao's steps.
When Chu Qiao said this, Xiao Wang was stunned and immediately tightened his backpack: "I'm fine, I'm fine, wait for me."
Chu Qiao did not stop and let Xiao Wang chase him from behind.
Several people walked to the reef area.
Chu Qiao held Huang Li on the left and Director Xiao on the right, worried that they would fall into the gap between the rocks.
As a director, although Director Xiao did not like Xiao Wang's behavior, he had to ensure Xiao Wang's safety and pulled the strap of Xiao Wang's backpack.
Several people moved slowly in the reef area like a greater than sign.
As Chu Qiao was walking, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
They had to cross the reef and reach the shallows on the other side before they could leave.
Logically speaking, this stuff should be getting less and less, but why is it getting deeper and deeper?
Chu Qiao stopped.
"Why don't you leave?" Huang Li was a little afraid of water, her brows were furrowed, and she looked a little panicked.
Chu Qiao turned his head and looked at the way the few people came. The footprints on the beach had disappeared.
There were several large rocks where they had just been, but now the rocks are gone.
There is only one possibility, the tide is rising.
In just a moment of thinking, the water level had unknowingly overflowed the reef.
"Ah——" Huang Li suddenly jumped up: "Why are my shoes wet? My shoes are wet."
Chu Qiao looked down at his feet and found that the sea water had indeed flooded over the soles of several people's shoes. The entire reef area seemed to have been submerged in an instant.
"What should I do? What should I do? This is not a stream, this is the sea..."
Chu Qiao frowned. This Huang Li was really noisy, like a woman.
She immediately pulled Huang Li and pulled him onto the reef.
"Don't panic, stand next to me. If you really can't help it, hold my waist. Don't pull my arms and legs, otherwise I won't be able to swim for a while."
"What do you mean, you mean we're actually going to be flooded?"
Chu Qiao did not deny that with the current speed of the tide, they could no longer get through.
"Xiao Wang, come here."
Since human life was at stake, Xiao Wang, as a professional diving team member, did not refuse or procrastinate and immediately moved to Huang Li's left side.
Chu Qiao was relieved now. If he made any mistake, Xiao Wang would be able to help Huang Li.
Chu Qiao took off his shoes, poured out the sea water, and tied them to his backpack.
In the live broadcast room, everyone was complaining that Xiao Wang had just delayed time, otherwise they would not have encountered the high tide.
Chu Qiao needed to use Xiao Wang as a backup rescuer, so he didn't agree with everyone's words. He said, "I took off my shoes because the rocks are covered with moss. When the moss gets wet, it's very slippery. The soles of shoes are not as sensitive as the soles of people's feet. If I put on my shoes and feel like I'm about to slip, it's too late."
When Director Xiao heard this, he immediately urged Huang Li and Xiao Wang to take off their shoes.
"Now we are moving forward step by step. Everyone must step firmly."
Chu Qiao spoke as he moved forward. Every time, he would step on the road first before letting Huang Li pass.
Huang Li gradually relaxed a little: "I was scared to death just now, but now it's okay, the water is rising slowly."
Just as he finished speaking, before Chu Qiao could respond, he heard the sound of a huge wave coming over. Several people lowered their bodies and turned their backs to resist, but the huge wave was more than a meter high and immediately knocked them into the sea.
At the same time, several people holding hands were also separated.
Chu Qiao's heart suddenly turned cold, and she immediately returned to the surface of the sea by doing a breaststroke with her feet.
There were waves all around, and Chu Qiao couldn't see anyone at all.
There was no choice but to return to the sea.
Iceland's unpolluted ocean was exceptionally clear. Chu Qiao forced herself to open her eyes. Under the intense stimulation, her tears mixed with the sea water.
But she didn't care about the stinging in her eyes at the moment. She could only open her eyes wide and try to find Huang Li's shadow in the sea with high visibility.
Huang Li was wearing a dark red outdoor suit. Logically, she should be able to see clearly in the sea, but why was there no shadow at all?
Chu Qiao kept counting seconds in his head. A normal person can usually hold their breath for about 40 seconds to 1 minute, but in a panic, it would be good if they can hold their breath for 10 seconds. Now, more than 40 seconds have passed since they fell.
Huang Li's situation is critical.
Someone is here!
Chu Qiao was delighted and mailed it over with all his strength, only to see Xiao Wang's face turn red.
When the two of them swam to the surface, Chu Qiao couldn't wait to ask, "Where's Huang Li? Have you seen her?"
Xiao Wang pointed down, took a deep breath, and dived down.
Chu Qiao quickly chased after him. Xiao Wang was indeed a professional. He was already 12 meters underwater and his condition was still very good.
"There it is." Chu Qiao was delighted. He clapped his legs and swam past Xiao Wang quickly.
A man's vanity always erupts at inexplicable times. When Xiao Wang saw Chu Qiao's speed, he started to speed up without thinking.
The two arrived at Huang Li almost at the same time.
Chu Qiao pointed to the left at Xiao Wang, who nodded. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, pulled Huang Li's arms and brought her back to the surface.
Huang Li can swim a little, but only in the swimming pool, and she needs to wear goggles.
She can't swim without her goggles.
"Hurry up and get ashore, there are more waves behind."
Director Xiao on the shore shouted nervously.
Chu Qiao turned his head and saw that, sure enough, 20 meters behind them, there was a two-meter-high wave advancing towards them.
"We need to speed up." Chu Qiao said.
"I'm not inferior to you in this."
Chu Qiao smiled and said, "Let's get started."
The two men exerted force at the same time, and the muscles in their arms and waists showed through their wet clothes, revealing their figures.
"Faster...faster."
Director Xiao yelled.
