Chapter 71
Its dorsal fin protruded from the water surface, and its large body, about five or six meters long, came at an extremely fast speed with such momentum that everyone in the live broadcast room and on the scene gasped.
Chu Huaiqin and his crew's speedboat was an exposed type. Except for the visor on the bow and the awning on top of the speedboat, the surrounding area was open. Chu Huaiqin sat in the driving seat, Xia En sat next to him, and the other three people and their luggage sat behind him.
There were three rows of seats, Su Huaichen and the little monk were in the middle, and Lin Zhinan and the luggage were in the back. She sat like this to enjoy the scenery, but she didn't expect to see the shark appear. She was so scared that her hands and feet became weak in an instant.
"Put the luggage downstairs, check your life jackets, and put on your seat belts." Chu Huaiqin gave the order calmly. When the speedboat was still some distance away from the oncoming shark, Chu Huaiqin quickly turned the steering wheel to the left and stepped on the accelerator. When the speedboat was about to hit the shark, it sped past at a 35-degree angle at lightning speed, leaving a trail of white waves in the deep blue sea.
The three people in the back had barely grasped their seatbelts when they were nearly carried away. Water slammed into the speedboat, soaking everyone as Lin Zhinan and the little monk screamed.
"It's a great white shark."
The livestreamer exclaimed, "Before, it was too far away, and no one could clearly see what kind of shark it was. Now that they saw it clearly, they gasped." It was familiar to everyone. It was the most ferocious and murderous sea tyrant in the sea, the overlord of the sea. Whoever encountered it was doomed.
"I was so scared! I have to give my brother a thumbs up for his speedboat skills."
"I thought we were going to be hit. It was so scary. I saw the little monk's hands were shaking as she fastened her seatbelt. That moment was so terrifying."
"Oh my god, luckily there's only one. Look at the little monk and his sister, their faces and lips are pale."
Everyone in the live broadcast room was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but they found something wrong:
"No, what's going on?"
"Hey, it rushed over so aggressively just now, as if it was going to overturn Chu Huaiqin's speedboat, but how come it moved sideways with the director's speedboat?"
The drone was flying in the sky, and its 180-degree shooting angle made it easy for the live broadcast room to see its movement trajectory. After Chu Huaiqin's speedboat passed over it, the director team's speedboat was behind it. Everyone thought it would rush towards the director team like it rushed towards Chu Huaiqin and the others, but it did not, but dived into the water.
"Could it be that it has a grudge against the people from the Rolling Team?"
The people in the live studio were also terrified and tried to lighten the mood with a joke, but then everyone was surprised to find that it seemed to have surfaced again. It was following the director's speedboat. The director's faces turned pale with fear, but what was puzzling was that it didn't rush towards the director's speedboat. Instead, it passed the director's group at an extremely fast speed and flew towards Chu Huaiqin and others...
"What the hell? What's going on?"
"What does it mean? Of course, I'm not saying it should chase the director team, but why is it chasing Chu Huaiqin and the others?"
"No, I often go out to sea in a speedboat, and I've encountered great white sharks before. Unless there's an accident, it won't attack the speedboat at will."
"Yes, what's going on?"
"The Gun Gun Team must have done something that angered heaven and man, and God is punishing them."
"These days, any species can access the internet. Get lost."
"This is a matter of life and death, shut up."
The live broadcast was terrifying, and Chu Huaiqin and the others were also full of doubts.
The fastest speed of a great white shark in the sea reaches 25 knots per hour, while the maximum speed of a speedboat is 27 knots. Although the speedboat is faster than the great white shark, once it starts chasing, it is very dangerous for the speedboat to maintain a high speed for a long time.
"Maybe it just thought it was fun? We've all seen videos of great white sharks chasing speedboats."
"Yes, maybe it wants to play."
The live broadcast room comforted and relaxed people. It was the first time to see a great white shark chasing a speedboat in a live broadcast, and many people thought it was quite interesting.
Chu Huaiqin and the others couldn't relax, after all, they were the ones being chased, especially Lin Zhinan who was sitting behind them.
"Brother, it, it's coming." Lin Zhinan was so scared that he looked back from time to time, and his words were stuttered when he shouted loudly.
"Brother, why is this thing chasing us? It's so scary. What is it?" It was the first time for the little monk to see such a big thing, and he was completely confused.
"Relax, don't look, don't be afraid," Chu Huaiqin said in a steady voice, but his face was serious. He said to Xia En, "Do you have a mirror?"
"No, what?"
"If I want to see what's going on behind me, a big mirror is best."
Xia En nodded, turned around and asked Lin Zhinan to take it. All the luggage and backpacks were at her feet.
When Lin Zhinan heard Xia En wanted a mirror, he no longer cared about his fear. He quickly steadied himself, bent down, took out the mirror, and asked Su Huaichen, who was sitting in the middle, to pass it to him.
"Is there something going on?" Su Huaichen handed the camera to Xia En and asked Chu Huaiqin.
"Let's take a look first." Chu Huaiqin replied, observing the great white shark's movements through the splashing water in the palm-sized mirror held by Xia Entang.
[Rolling Team, you have maintained a speed of 27 knots for 20 minutes. Please pay attention.]
At this time, the voice of the director team came from the drone.
The livestreamers were also wondering what was going on with the Gun Gun team? Jaws probably just wanted to have some fun with them!
At that moment, everyone saw the great white shark suddenly speed up and rush towards Chu Huaiqin's speedboat, making a sharp cry. Everyone's face changed when they heard it. In addition to being ferocious, the great white shark can also use different sounds to represent different signals. The sound it made just now was a sign of predation.
"quick!"
Director Li's voice rushed out from the drone. In a flash, the great white shark had arrived behind the speedboat. It leaped high, its long, slender mouth wide open, revealing sharp teeth. From the perspective of the live broadcast room, Lin Zhinan, sitting behind it, was like a prey in its mouth...
“Woo—”
The speedboat stepped on the accelerator and turned 30 degrees amid the screams in the live broadcast room, stirring up the surging waves. In a flash, it slipped past the corner of the great white shark's mouth, leaving behind a trail of white waves.
"vomit!"
The three people sitting in the back seat finally couldn't bear it anymore and vomited. Their pale faces seemed to be fainting at any moment. However, no one had time to take care of them at this time. The great white shark caught up again.
The speedboat flew across the sea, constantly dodging the pursuit of the great white shark. Several times, everyone thought the speedboat would be bitten by the great white shark, but Chu Huaiqin narrowly avoided it. No one dared to breathe. Neither the director team nor the live broadcast room thought that the great white shark was playing tricks at this time, and they all came up with ideas on how to get rid of it.
"Xia En, you often go out to sea, right? Have you ever encountered a great white shark?"
"have."
"Tell me."
"Their speed is usually around 20 knots, occasionally speeding up to match the speedboat, flicking their tails, deliberately creating high splashes, and jumping, like they're performing. It's obvious they're having fun, but now..."
"You also feel something is wrong?"
"Yes, it has been at top speed for thirty minutes."
The conversation between the two was not leaked at all and was transmitted to the live broadcast room and the director team. Director Li was shocked and quickly opened Chu Huaiqin's wrist communication, "Do you know what's going on?"
"I don't know," Chu Huaiqin clenched his fists and said to his watch, "Have the drone circle around my speedboat, slow down, and see if there's anything there."
Director Li seemed to have thought of something, his face changed, and he immediately asked the technicians to take action.
The drone descended from a high altitude, started from the bow of the boat, and when it reached the outboard motor behind the speedboat, the drone quickly captured a large fish stuck on the outboard motor, with blood oozing from its body.
Sharks are very sensitive to blood, especially fish blood, and can smell it from a few kilometers away. When sharks smell blood, they will attack anything that smells of blood like crazy, no matter what it is, it is its prey.
Those who understood in the live broadcast room explained immediately, while those who didn't understood changed their expressions when they heard it.
"What should we do? It's stuck on the outboard motor. It can't be easily removed if it's been stuck for this long. They'll still be at least another hour away from Lookout Island!"
"Can you hold on?"
"It can't hold on. The speedboat has to maintain 27 knots to escape the great white shark, but the speedboat's engine can't handle it."
"So what should we do? Wait till we die? Where's the director team? Are they of no use at this point?"
The Chinese audience in the live broadcast room became anxious. They were getting anxious as they saw the great white shark trying to bite the speedboat several times.
"Xia En, you open it."
"And you?"
"I'll go take a look."
"No, it's too dangerous. I'll go."
"I can't do it anymore," Chu Huaiqin said with a pale face. The endless sea put pressure on him. "You come, don't talk too much."
"The person behind..."
"no."
It really doesn't work. Let alone Lin Zhinan in the third row, even the little monk and Su Huaichen in the second row were vomiting so much that their eyes were almost rolling back.
Xia En gritted his teeth, glanced back at the great white shark chasing him, then turned to look at Chu Huaiqin's trembling hands gripping the steering wheel, his eyes reddening. His hand, hanging by his side, clenched into a fist, his fingertips pricking his palm painfully, but in the end, he had no choice but to remove his hand from the steering wheel.
Chu Huaiqin unbuckled his seat belt, put his hands on the back of the chair, and in the incredulous gazes of everyone, he suddenly jumped up on the speeding speedboat, flipping from the front seat to the gap between the back seat. His clean and neat movements surprised everyone.
But at this time, no one was in the mood to appreciate it. They were just glad that Chu Huaiqin did not fall into the sea.
Chu Huaiqin flipped over to the second row, grabbed a chair to steady himself, and then bent over to the third row. The speedboat continued to accelerate, and Chu Huaiqin's body kept swaying, bumping into the chairs several times, forcing himself to suppress the pain. Meanwhile, Lin Zhinan, in the back row, was huddled together, clutching the iron pillar next to him, his eyes closed, retching and crying softly.
Chu Huaiqin grabbed the iron pillar at the back with one hand and patted her head with the other hand. Then he leaned towards the outboard motor. As the boat was swaying, a bleeding fish appeared in front of him. It was very big and still bleeding. Although there was not much blood, a drop of it could take their lives within a few kilometers.
The live broadcast room was extremely tense at this moment. Everyone was afraid to breathe and stared at Chu Huaiqin. The great white shark was right behind him and could catch up at any time. Moreover, the speedboat was speeding, so his action was very dangerous.
Chu Huaiqin was also a little nervous. He took a deep breath, grabbed the pillar of the speedboat's awning with one hand, pressed his abdomen under the hull, and slowly reached down with the other hand...
