Chapter 7, The Meaning of Survival
Yes! Although it has already become a ruin, it was once a part of history. Lin Banxia said unexpectedly, with great seriousness.
"Why are you silent?" Yu Lei turned his head and saw Lin Banxia looking at him with a sympathetic expression. He was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, saying: "Where did your thoughts wander off to? I am very glad that she can board the Ark and continue to live on"
What should we do? I plan to dive down and see if there is any drinkable water or edible food! It's better than waiting to die here with you, you foolish person who is only seeking death!" Lin Banxia said this in a rapid-fire manner while putting on lead weights.
One, two, three, four ... ... seventeen. The water has risen to the point where there are still seventeen steps remaining.
Yu Lei nodded and said nothing more, silently walking down the steps.
Yu Lei rubbed his half-dry hair and said with a bitter smile, "That is because my parents do not have the qualifications or hope to board the Ark, but Jinjin has that possibility. I know there is a wealthy man named Liu Yuting who has always liked her, so..." He paused, unsure whether he should continue. The last time he met Jinjin was during a quarrel he had deliberately instigated, and he took the initiative to back down.
"Wait a moment." Lin Banxia bit her lower lip and reached her hand behind her.
However, this cannot let Jinjin know; otherwise, she would definitely choose to stay and die with him
Fool! Lin Banxia coldly uttered two words above his head
However, he discovered that he seemed to have found the meaning of living
After Yu Lei finished speaking with infinite melancholy, he realized that the previously noisy sounds around him had vanished. The sudden silence of the launch pad made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
I will wait for your return, Lin Banxia said softly
Although Yu Lei did not continue speaking, Lin Banxia could also guess what happened later
However, she will never have the chance to know. He is about to die, and it is impossible for him to explain it to her in person. Moreover, Liu Yuting will certainly not tell her the truth, unless Liu Yuting is the biggest and most foolish idiot in the world
The wetsuit still carried moisture, sticky and uncomfortable, with only one leg exposed
He finds his recent thought indeed laughable
Lin Banxia did not expect things to turn out this way. Since the platform they were standing on was very narrow, she did not dare to move recklessly and could only stand there while he removed her oxygen tank, lead weights, and diving mask.
Seeing the arm on the platform wave, he put on the diving mask, took a deep breath, bit down on the breathing tube, and jumped into the cold water
"Put on the wetsuit. This wetsuit is elastic, so you should be able to wear it. At the very least, it will ensure that you won't be scratched by sharp objects." Lin Banxia did not feel the slightest bit of shame in being scantily clad; she confidently held her chest out and even took a step forward.
"Why are you scolding me?" Yu Lei raised his head, displeased. Even An Jinjing rarely criticized him, so what right did this woman have to do so
At the moment he smiled at her, it coincided with the instant when the red emergency light above their heads was illuminated. Lin Banxia clearly saw the smile on his face; it was a smile that truly disregarded life and death.
Your foot ... ... '' Lin Banxia looked at him standing on one foot and remembered that his right foot was fractured
As Lin Banxia passed by him, Yu Lei reached out and grabbed her wrist, "There are only a few minutes of oxygen left in your oxygen tank."
Lin Banxia stared blankly as Yu Lei stood up, wondering if this man was provoked by her words to the point of wanting to hit someone. However, just as this thought arose, she saw him reach out to unfasten the oxygen tank around her waist. "You..."
No, he simply feels that there is no hope to continue living
Yu Lei felt that this was the most correct thing he had done in his life, even if An Jinjing would scold him afterwards, calling him the biggest and most foolish idiot in the world
"Look, look! Didn't I guess it right? You are showing such a sorrowful expression, just like a little dog abandoned by its owner!" Lin Banxia scolded without any courtesy, "Just go on and wallow in your self-pity here! I'm afraid that if I stay for another second, I will be infected by your despair!"
Yu Lei widened his eyes, watching as the woman in front of him unhesitatingly removed her diving suit, revealing her graceful figure clad only in fiery red lingerie. Just moments ago, her black diving suit had concealed everything, but now, with her ivory-white body so close, it truly left one breathless.
Yulei was taken aback by her words; was he truly seeking death with all his heart?
"I see," Yu Lei said淡淡地.
"Because you are just a fool!" Lin Banxia lowered her head to pick up the diving mask from the ground, wiping off the water droplets on it with her hand, intending to put it back on her head
He swore an hour ago that he would rather cut himself to death than choose to drown
Yulei was shaken by her firm tone. Such a simple reason could support her to keep fighting, but what about him?
Lin Banxia regarded him with a very skeptical gaze, "Who are you trying to fool? Just a moment ago, you said that if living is more painful than dying, it would be better to die."
Yu Lei did not look up at her again; he simply lowered his head to put on the lead weights and strapped the oxygen tank to his back. "I am leaving"
This is also acceptable; hating him and continuing to live is certainly better than having the opportunity and still choosing to die
"I don't care! I still want to live! I haven't seen all the beautiful landscapes and attractions in the world yet! I refuse to die like this!" Lin Banxia stamped her foot and said angrily. However, such a simple action, performed by her bare thigh, appeared extraordinarily captivating.
Yu Lei cast a deep glance at her, and without saying a word, began to take off his clothes. When he was left with only his underwear, he finally took the diving suit from her hands and put it on.
Although the scenic spots in this world have turned into ruins, you still want to see them
After all, even if one finds drinkable water and edible food, it merely prolongs the time of suffering
Yu Lei suddenly found it very amusing as he thought about it, laughing out loud while holding his belly.
Yu Lei looked up at Lin Banxia, who was concernedly looking down from the platform above, and waved at her
Moreover, and most importantly, there is no one waiting for him to survive
What do you want to do
"It's nothing, diving isn't like running. Besides, we can't let the ladies go in front, can we!" Yu Lei said with a smile while adjusting the length of the lead weight belt.
Yu Lei habitually raised his hand to check the time, it was 22:49. It seemed that the rate of the water rising had decreased
