Chapter 0002: Underwater
The vast crustal rocks are exposed, with some areas covered by fine, snow-white sea sand, while others are shrouded in gray-black muddy water
Seeing Ao Fugui exerting himself so desperately, and with Ao Mu Yang still not surfacing after several minutes, Wang Dongliang finally felt afraid
One step cannot catch up with ten steps, and the distance between the two in the water is growing larger.
After entering the water, the group was completely panicked
What the hell! What the hell! What the hell! This is truly outrageous! Ao Mu Yang was shocked and repeatedly cursed in his heart
A half-bald man exclaimed in panic: "A Liang, what should we do? The person is really gone!"
On the fishing boat, Wang Dongliang looked at the sea with a puzzled expression and murmured, "How is this possible?"
Seeing so many people diving into the water, Ao Mu Yang immediately understood what was happening; he had been submerged for too long, and these individuals were searching for him
The cabin was in disarray. Ao Fugui could not find the diving suit, so he hastily put on the diving goggles and jumped into the sea, plunging headfirst into the water
These lobsters belong to a particular species, characterized by a hard shell adorned with a striking pattern of blackish-brown and yellow stripes. They are quite splendid, with two long antennae on their heads resembling the pheasant feathers on the hat of a martial character in Peking opera, exuding an imposing presence
"Negative review, you spicy neighbor!" Wang Dongliang cursed and jumped into the water
Without hesitation, he pulled away the hand that Ao Fugui was tightly gripping on his shoulder
After rising a few meters high, he looked down to survey the seabed. In fact, this ocean is not entirely devoid of life; there is a group of lobsters on a rocky shore.
After a while, Ao Mu Yang finally sank to the bottom of the sea, and his feet landed on the stones, experiencing normal gravity as if he were on land
The small golden sphere is only the size of a glass marble, quietly floating within his body. Streams of vapor enter the top of the small golden sphere from various parts of his body, transforming into a crystalline fine stream that rotates clockwise within the golden sphere.
What is this? He is completely baffled and cannot figure it out, but there is no doubt that his life is not in danger
On the fishing boat, a crew member felt anxious: "Brother Liang, it seems that something really has happened. Ao Fugui, that big fool, he can't act."
Without seaweed, without schools of fish, the vast seabed resembles a desert on land, imbued with an ancient and unchanging desolation, leaving one profoundly shocked upon witnessing it
This incident of falling into the water was entirely caused by Wang Dongliang. Coupled with the previous insults directed at himself and his parents, both old grievances and new enmities, Ao Mu Yang decided to let him have a taste of revenge
With a loud crash, the harpoon nearly grazed Wang Dongliang's head as it fell onto the fishing boat
However, Ao Mu Yang did not feel cold at all. Initially, his vision was somewhat blurred, but as he descended deeper, the seawater became increasingly dark, and his vision became clearer instead.
In contrast to the tumultuous surface of the sea, the seabed is quiet and unremarkable
Ao Fugui turned around and shouted: "You killed him! I am going to find Yangzi! It was you who killed him, he can't come up anymore, I saw it with my own eyes, Yangzi has sunk underwater, it's over..."
He hurriedly took off his clothes and said: "What the hell are you looking at? Go down and find someone!"
At this moment, Ao Mu Yang had his eyes tightly closed, but his mouth was wide open in anger, revealing his ghastly white teeth, his face expressionless, resembling a floating corpse
The shrimp group is quite small, consisting of only two large lobsters, each measuring about half a meter in length, while the rest are still immature small shrimp
Wang Dongliang swallowed a mouthful of bitter seawater, feeling even more bitterness in his heart than in his mouth. He said, "What else can be done? Just keep searching!"
Wang Dongliang was so scared that he lost control of his bladder; he forgot he was in the water and opened his mouth to scream: "Gul-dong gul-dong"
The seawater here is quite deep, reaching a depth of 50 meters. Below, the water is cold and dark; this is a zone devoid of sunlight, and also a zone that is inhospitable to most forms of life
Upon seeing such a rare lobster, he swam over to observe it closely, feeling that this was indeed a leisurely experience in the water
At this moment, Ao Mu Yang was about to ascend. His vision underwater far exceeded that of others, and as he looked up, he saw the crowd diligently diving and searching.
Continuously sinking, the seabed is finally in sight
Here, the seawater seems to offer no resistance; he walks a few steps, and everything is as usual
Without the aid of goggles, it is very difficult to see clearly underwater with the naked eye, and soon Ao Fugui could no longer make out Ao Mu Yang's figure
He cannot breathe through his mouth or nose, yet he does not feel short of breath. It seems that air is seeping into his body through his skin, and the oxygen absorbed is more than that obtained through mouth or nose breathing, invigorating him.
Aomu Yang recognized their identity at a glance; these are Chinese exquisite lobsters, a type of shrimp that has been precious since ancient times, even referred to as 'divine shrimp' during the Song Dynasty.
This left him puzzled, and he began to run quickly, yet everything remained as usual
He kept sinking in the water. At first, Ao Mu Yang was panicked, but gradually he realized that apart from being unable to float, there was not much difference between being in the water and being on land, which made him feel more relaxed.
However, these are not the current priorities; what is most important now is to quickly push aside Ao Fugui. While I am fine, he is in trouble. The water pressure has already caused his eyes to bulge, and the lack of air has made his face turn red and blue.
Ao Fugui shouted with a cry: "I will kill you! I will definitely kill you! You caused Yangzi's death! Damn it! Yangzi fell into the water and cramped up, and then encountered a whirlpool! He can't come up!"
He quietly approached from behind, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Wang Dongliang's arms, simultaneously stopping his movement, as his body gradually descended under the control of gravity
Ao Fugui emerged from the water, just as Wang Dongliang's boat was about to depart. He climbed onto his own metal boat and seized a harpoon, throwing it with all his might.
He then jumped again, and as he leaped, the normal buoyancy emerged, allowing him to float on the water once more, his limbs moving, buoyancy reappearing
He had no way out, no choice; after taking a deep breath, he sank down again for the first time
After a brief moment of panic, Ao Mu Yang forced himself to calm down
A few more minutes passed, and only Ao Fugui surfaced a few times to catch his breath. Without diving equipment to assist him, he could not dive very deep at all
The tourists on the iron boat wore expressions of despair. A young woman said with a sense of grievance: "We came here to travel, dear, how did we end up encountering a murder case? Moreover, could you please demonstrate some professional integrity and take us ashore? What does it mean to abandon us halfway? Can we leave a negative review?"
This startled Wang Dongliang, and he shouted: "Cao Nima, Ao Fugui! Are you trying to murder me? Cao Nima, are you trying to kill me?!"
In this way, Ao Fugui became anxious. He exerted himself to reach out and try to grab Ao Mu Yang, but the latter was sinking rapidly. Due to the buoyancy, his body was no longer able to dive deeper and was instead slowly rising.
As he sank, he discovered something strange: he did not feel uncomfortable. Earlier, when he was sinking, he had instinctively opened his mouth in panic, wanting to shout, yet the seawater rushed into his mouth and nose without choking him, which was even more unusual
None of the deep-sea diving tools were able to assist; they, like Ao Fugui, could not dive very deep. They have searched in the limited depths of the water, but indeed did not find Ao Mu Yang
Upon sensing this, he instinctively closed his eyes to feel more carefully, and as a result, a shocking scene unfolded: he felt a small golden sphere appear in his chest cavity, radiating light and color similar to the yellow sphere that had previously passed through Ao Fugui's body
While shouting indiscriminately, he hurriedly searched for a wetsuit and diving goggles in the boat
With each rotation, the fine stream of water disappears, only to be replaced by a new fine stream of water.
A few people were scattered far apart, and Ao Mu Yang easily spotted Wang Dong Liang as he approached.
As the iron block enters the water, it continues to sink, yet the strength that Ao Fugui has developed from years of living at sea is unable to hold it back
Upon hearing this, the crew members who were originally eager to come down and beat Ao Fugui quickly halted their steps, fearing that someone might get killed. This is indeed a serious matter
While Ao Mu Yang is at ease here, chaos has erupted at sea
Once again surfacing for air, the scorching sunlight poured down upon them, yet Wang Dongliang and his companions felt no warmth; instead, they felt a chill throughout their bodies
Wang Dongliang turned around in terror and saw the face of Ao Mu Yang
Wang Dongliang, in disbelief, sneered and said: "What a coincidence? Falling into the water and then getting a cramp in his leg, is he Ao Mu Yang a young girl? And he just happens to encounter a whirlpool? Where is there a whirlpool?"
Aomu Yang knew that Ao Fugui was about to suffocate and lose his life
