Shu Xingbei has swam under the sea beast's belly, and its navel is like an open sea clam.
Shu Xingbei ignored the danger and raised his hand to stab the cutting knife in.
The sea beast was in pain and spared Nie Lan, who was waiting for death.
Shu Xingbei didn't wait for it to turn around and retreat, so he tightened his grip on the handle of the knife and turned it a few times at its navel.
As long as it retreats and raises its big paw to slap him, he will have no hope of survival.
But Shu Xingbei believed that with just these few blows, he would definitely cut the sea beast's internal organs and make it lose at least part of its combat effectiveness.
The success was entirely due to his greatly enhanced eyesight and his composure, which allowed him to find the soft parts of the sea beast's body.
Blood gushes out from the belly of the sea beast.
The sea beast swung its feet and retreated slowly.
It was angry and stared at Shu Xingbei with its cold eyes.
Retreating is to attack. Shu Xingbei knows this very well.
Without thinking too much, he sneaked towards Nie Lan.
Nie Lan was already stunned. Although he saw everything just clearly, he didn't know what to do next.
She saw Shu Xingbei swimming toward her, his lips trembling, as if he wanted to say thank you, and the cold sea water poured into her mouth.
What a dish. Shu Xingbei sighed, swung the cutting knife, cut off the kelp that entangled her, reached out to hold her arm, and dived decisively to one side.
The sea beast was injured, but it was not dead. When it was diving in Shuxingbei, a palm fell down, and its sharp claws scratched Shuxingbei's back.
Shu Xingbei didn't even look back and swam faster.
The sea beast looked at Shu Xingbei who was as slow as a snail in its eyes. Just when it was about to take action again, it suddenly had a premonition of something. It glanced at Shu Xingbei who had injured it, slowly backed away, turned around and swam away.
Nie Lan was calmed down by Shu Xingbei's calmness. She kept her mind, took the initiative to tighten Shu Xingbei's hand, and led Shu Xingbei to swim forward.
Shu Xingbei approached her and reached out to tighten the valve of the gas cylinder behind Nie Lan.
As we sink further, we can already see the mud on the seabed clearly.
The two of them landed on a layer of seabed mud and stood still gently.
As they walked further, there were some dark-colored buildings and ruins on both sides of them.
When Shu Xingbei was a child, his father told him that more than ten generations ago, there was still earth and various buildings under their feet.
The buildings are separated by roads extending in all directions. The places where those buildings are located are called cities. At that time, people could communicate with each other remotely, with the help of a thing called a mobile phone, or the Internet.
For more than ten generations, that is a vague concept. A more accurate expression of the year, Shu Xingbei's father did not tell him. While his father taught him how to read, he also talked about what he knew.
People who live in houseboats are not qualified to study in schools.
The school is a thing that must have only been seen by people living in high towers.
Now is not the time to think about those problems, Shu Xingbei shook his head.
He took out the straw from his helmet and exchanged breaths with Nie Lan.
Then, he turned on his headlights.
The dim light spread out, like a lonely star in the night sky on a winter night.
Nie Lan led Shu Xingbei forward. Based on Shu Xingbei's sense of time, he knew that it would be dark soon.
If we return when it's dark, there will be more dangers in the sea. We need to speed up.
Also, Nie Lan no longer has a helmet.
As for him, there were bursts of pain in his back, which was obviously an injury.
Big trouble.
Just in the bundle
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
When Xingbei was worried, Nie Lan said, "We're here."
In front of you is a building covered in layers of sea mud.
When Nie Lan pushed open a door along the gap, some tiny shellfish fell down.
The door closed again, and there was another space inside. A spacious hall, a gray roof, and an obvious staircase.
"Have you been here?" Shu Xingbei asked. He was sure of this.
Nie Lan nodded, "My brother took on this mission twice. The first time he came, he saw good things, but he couldn't do it alone. The second time he took on this mission, he took me with him. It's a pity.
Before I could dive down, I encountered a robber. My brother gave me time to escape and faced the robber alone." She said sadly.
The closed space formed behind the underwater door blocked the water flow. It was empty at this time, but it allowed them to chat for a while.
Shu Xingbei felt his heart tremble. But he didn't say anything else. For someone like him who was constantly fighting against the God of Death, pretentious words of comfort that were powerless would not help the situation and were too extravagant.
More things were discovered.
Brushing away the mud on the table, phones with handles were revealed. Shu Xingbei picked one up curiously.
This is it. Can you make calls remotely? Next to the phone are machines with screens. They should be the computers that my father mentioned.
The computer was different from what his father described. It was taller and larger. Is it a computer with any special purpose? Shu Xingbei didn't know.
After they opened another sealed door, there were rows of cans with sharp mouths that were taller than a person. Counting them, there were hundreds of cans at least.
"Pure oxygen, pure oxygen, still pure oxygen," Shu Xingbei wiped the tanks clean and read the words on them one by one.
The joy only lasted for a moment. When Shu Xingbei calmed down, he knew clearly that these things that would allow him and Nie Lan to live comfortably in the future were now just a sweet dream for them.
They can't take these things away at all.
If they can take it away, maybe they can exchange it for a ticket to "Noah's Ark".
According to the deputy manager of Spear's mission department, the Ark from Spear's headquarters will arrive here in two to three months at most.
Those who can afford the ferry tickets will be picked up and then sailed to places with land.
Boat tickets used to be just a distant dream for Shu Xingbei.
Now as long as he takes away what is in front of him, he can realize this dream.
But neither he nor Nie Lan could grasp it.
"I'll give you the helmet and the gas cylinder, and you can bring a can up there," Shu Xingbei said quietly to Nie Lan.
"What about you?" Nie Lan was surprised.
The one who can leave is Shu Xingbei. And she is just a burden.
"I'm injured. I can't leave just because of the smell of blood on my body," Shu Xingbei didn't lie to her.
The smell of blood will attract more sea animals and fish.
"No. This won't work," Nie Lan burst into tears.
Shu Xingbei saved her life. Without Shu Xingbei, she would have died today.
Nie Lan can't do it now if she is asked to take Shu Xingbei's equipment and leave to survive.
Shu Xingbei said nothing more. People like them can only live by facing the facts directly and have nothing to do with feelings.
Just like Nie Lan's brother, he pushed his sister away from this body of water, but he stayed here forever.
Life and death, when people have no choice, follow the law of the jungle. The strong live and the weak die.
When the sea ruthlessly destroys everything
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, this world has long returned to the law of the jungle.
Like Spear Company, it is powerful and possesses all kinds of unknown trump cards, and it immediately dominates the world.
The spear company was weaker and would not exist at all, let alone arrange everything in the houseboat area.
Nie Lan stubbornly tried to pass Shu Xingbei's headlight and came to Shu Xingbei's back.
The clothes on the back have been torn.
Nie Lan glanced at his back and took a breath.
The giant claw of the sea beast scratched Shu Xingbei's skin and penetrated half a centimeter downwards. The wound was more than five inches long.
"There will be a way," Nie Lan held back her tears. She seemed to see her brother who was usually as precious as words. After her father was sold into slavery, his brother would only hand her food and drink. As for how he earned those things.
, he never said.
Only last time, when my brother went on a mission, he said he would take her with him to experience the life of a bounty hunter.
"What can be done?" Shu Xingbei shook his head.
There was a way. First, he had to go back up there. In the boathouse, he applied to the company, and the company sent a doctor to treat his wounds.
Now, let alone whether it can be applied for or how much it costs, just going back to it is already an impossible task.
"Don't worry, stay here for now," Nie Lan said, taking the lamp with her and heading towards the stairs.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a bottle and some gauze in her hand.
"This is alcohol, it can help disinfect your wounds," Nie Lan said, pointing to the instructions on the bottle.
She motioned to Shu Xingbei to unbutton her top.
Shu Xingbei didn't stop him.
"This is just a more beautiful death," Shu Xingbei did not refuse her kindness. His back was really hurting.
It would also be good to reduce some pain before death.
"Maybe there are some good things here that can help us return safely. After all, this is a hospital," Nie Lan did not lose hope.
"Hospital?" Shu Xingbei read these two words. What is a hospital?
He had never heard anyone say it.
"Yes. Hospital. I heard my brother say that many years ago, when people got sick, they would come here for treatment. Otherwise, how could there be oxygen bottles?" Nie Lan replied.
"You mean, these bottled oxygen are for people to breathe? Is it so luxurious?" Shu Xingbei couldn't believe his ears.
Oxygen is used for breathing, and there is a large proportion of oxygen in the air.
But if you want to collect oxygen together and put it into these cans, I'm afraid only Spear Company can do it.
Will they use oxygen to save people? People like me don't even need to ask, it's definitely not possible.
"I heard from my brother that the oxygen in the bottle is used to treat important people," Nie Lan smiled lightly, "It's normal that you don't know. Except for special people, not many people know."
An important person? A big shot in the tower or the head of spear company?
Someone special? Shu Xingbei has no idea.
Who is that special person?
Nie Lan said this, which obviously means that her brother is a special person.
But since he is a special person, is there any need to be a bounty hunter?
At least they would live on top of a high tower, looking down at the people in the houseboat below with a condescending gaze. Perhaps, they would not even be interested in taking a look.
Nie Lan opened and shut her mouth, never leaving her brother behind for three words.
Shu Xingbei became interested in her brother for the first time.
