"Can you two shut up? Where do you see any sign of rescue? Firstly, there's not even a ship around, let alone an island to rest on. Secondly, the temperature of the seawater will get colder, the body's functions will slow down more and more, coupled with the accelerated heat loss in the seawater, we could still die at any mont!"
Yun Hao rcilessly crushed their blind excitent, then seeing the two were scared, he continued, "Which one of you is a better swimr?"
"I'm a bit better!" Chu Yan replied softly.
Yun Hao nodded, then looked around. But what the hell was he looking at, all he could see was damn seawater! The most damnable thing was that there was no sun in the sky, not even a landmark for orientation. When he was on the plane, Yun Hao could still clearly discern directions, but after crashing into the water, he had no recollection whatsoever!
Yun Hao only rembered that there should be a small island near this sea region. Though he hadn't been there and it wasn't big, land always offered a greater hope of survival than being in the sea!
With no other choice, Yun Hao asked again, "Which of you two has better luck?"
"I think my luck is a bit better!" Chu Yan answered Yun Hao again.
"Which direction do you think there's hope for survival?"
"Huh? Th-this way, I guess?"
"Then stop dawdling and all of you stick close to . If you get tired, you're on your own, I don't have the strength to waste on you!" With that, Yun Hao swam toward the direction Chu Yan pointed, as there was no way to determine direction, he could only rely on luck. However, Yun Hao's luck was awful, that's why he asked Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi!
Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi exchanged a glance, then hurried to catch up with Yun Hao. Although they felt relying on luck to choose a direction was a bit unreliable, on this boundless ocean, Yun Hao beca their only reliance. And they were really scared, fearing that if they couldn't keep up, Yun Hao might really abandon them and not care for their life or death!
Isn't there a saying that when disaster cos, even married couples fly separately? Zhao Shishi and Yun Hao weren't even a couple. Although Chu Yan and Yun Hao were spouses, it was rely nominal, and now even that nominal relationship was about to end, because they were heading back to get a divorce!
Luckily, both won loved swimming during college as it made a girl's body lines very beautiful!
Yun Hao swam steadily ahead, trying hard to control his breathing to maintain stability, so he could conserve energy better. Although there was no sunlight, judging by the ti, it should be midday, aning there were about seven hours left till dusk. Seven hours later, if the three of them hadn't encountered a ship or found an island to rest on, then it would be terrifying!
Of course, as Yun Hao swam forward, he occasionally looked back to check on the two won. Seeing that they could still swim on their own brought him so comfort. The longer they persisted, the more energy he'd conserve, which would increase their survival chances!
One hour, one and a half hours, two hours passed. The two won were almost out of strength, yet they were desperately swimming by instinct!
Two hours soaking in seawater, two hours of intense exertion, how could these usually delicate won endure it? If it weren't for the life-and-death scenario triggering their internal potential, they might have sunk after just one hour!
Exhausted and terribly thirsty, but this was seawater, undrinkable. So the won's swimming speed slowed down more and more, the first to falter was Zhao Shishi. Watching Yun Hao who was almost out of sight ahead, Zhao Shishi silently murmured in her heart, I love you, then sank limply!
Originally, Zhao Shishi wanted to call for help, but recalling Yun Hao's words about self-reliance, she gave up on seeking help. What if she called for help and Yun Hao, out of compassion, saved her? Wouldn't that implicate Yun Hao and drag him down too?
But just as Zhao Shishi's body sank, her waist was seized by soone, and she felt a strong arm lift her back to the surface, holding her waist and swimming with her!
Instinctively, Zhao Shishi turned her head, and when she saw Yun Hao's determined face, warmth filled her heart. She wanted to thank him, but Yun Hao's sharp look silenced her.
"Don't waste energy talking, seize the chance to rest a bit. I can't always swim with you. This ti I'm giving you a chance, next ti I won't save you!" Yun Hao said coldly. How could he abandon Zhao Shishi? He only said that to cut off her reliance on him. In such harsh conditions, without a strong will to survive, he couldn't take them all out by himself!
Zhao Shishi stopped talking, resting peacefully to regain strength.
"Hurry up, if you run out of strength, I won't save you. I saved Shishi once because I love her. Don't expect anything, we're almost divorced, I'd be a fool to save you!" Yun Hao said coldly to Chu Yan behind him.
"Hmph, I'm still your wife, how can you treat like this!" Chu Yan fud, wanting to curse Yun Hao out loud, but she knew conserving energy was crucial now. Otherwise, she might die the next second!
They swam for another half hour, and by then Zhao Shishi, having rested a while, had regained so strength. So Yun Hao let her swim on her own. It was still an endless ocean, with no sign of ships or islands.
Yun Hao's biggest concern was encountering big waves. The wind was starting to pick up, and in the state the two won were in, a single wave could drag them to the ocean floor for good!
Chu Yan was also feeling drained, her arms moving chanically. Her eyelids felt heavier, her arms weaker, and gradually, she lost consciousness and began to sink!
