Chapter 774
Nevertheless, Ye Xingguang didn’t expect to encounter anything apart from this scenery. To her astonishment, she even saw people sinking into the sea?!
What was going on?
Each person’s legs were bound by large stones. As the stones sank, the people followed them down into the depths. Some were still alive, desperately trying to swim upwards, but they couldn’t untie the ropes around their legs, rendering their struggle to survive futile.
Some fought until their final breath, eventually becoming drifting souls of the sea…
A man’s face floated by the outside of the submarine, waterlogged and dead. He had swallowed too much water. The sight was so horrifying that Ye Xingguang jolted up in fright, the shock too sudden for her to regain her composure even after several deep breaths.
Gui Baili didn’t know why she was panicking. As he was reading military books, Gui Baili shot an inquiring glance at her.
Ye Xingguang paused, then immediately said, “Quick, we have to save them!”
As Gui Baili rose and looked out the window, seeing people continuously falling from above, he furrowed his cold brows and quickly ordered the crew, “Go and save them.”
“Yes, Master Gui.”
Gui Baili had brought more than a dozen guards with him. Upon receiving the order, they all swam out of the submarine.
As Ye Xingguang continued to watch the struggling drowning people from behind the window, she thought she saw a face that looked very similar to Fu Zhuo.
Ye Xingguang rubbed her eyes. It wasn’t just a resemblance, it was an exact match to Fu Zhuo!
Ye Xingguang couldn’t sit around any longer. She grabbed a fruit knife from the table and rushed out of the submarine.
The moment she hit the water in her long skirt, her slender legs transformed into a beautiful fishtail, and she swam towards Fu Zhuo.
Fu Zhuo was a good swimmer and was able to hold his breath. He tried to untie the ropes on his legs, but he seemed to be seriously injured. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t untie the ropes. As a result, he and the heavy stone continued to sink deeper into the water.
Until at last, Fu Zhuo ran out of breath. Bubbles escaped his mouth as despair filled his heart. He hadn’t imagined in his wildest dreams that this would be how his life would end.
When Ye Xingguang swam over to Fu Zhuo, he had already sunk into the abyss of despair. He had partially lost consciousness, convinced that he was hallucinating as he noticed a beautiful mermaid—very much resembling Ye Xingguang—swimming towards him.
Swimming as fast as she could, Ye Xingguang approached Fu Zhuo. She raised the fruit knife in her hand and sliced the rope tied to Fu Zhuo’s legs. Then, holding his arm, she pulled him towards the submarine.
With the sudden surprise of being freed, even though he was barely conscious, Fu Zhuo swam frantically alongside Ye Xingguang driven by his survival instincts.
Yet, he couldn’t convince himself that any of this was real.
It had to be a hallucination! He must be on the brink of death to be experiencing such a vision!noveldrama
In his hallucination, he saw a mermaid with Ye Xingguang’s face, saving him from the jaws of death – like a goddess. He must be going mad!
Eventually, they reached the entrance to the submarine. Ye Xingguang pushed Fu Zhuo inside, where people from above helped pull him up and dragged him into the cabin. Soon after, Ye Xingguang was also pulled up on board.
