Everyone stared at Shen Mo in shock, unable to believe their eyes!
Staying in a pitch-black, cold, oxygen-deficient environment for more than five minutes, and coming out unscathed?!
Shen Mo wiped the rain off his face, tossed a plastic bag onto the corridor, took a brief breath, and said: “After opening the cabinet, everything inside floated away due to the buoyancy. It’s too dark below; I can’t see anything. It took me a bit of time to find the plastic bag.”
Seeing everyone still looking at him, he paused and continued: “Maybe it has something to do with the fish we just ate. It seems fine to stay underwater a bit longer.”
“Really?! Let me try too!” Tan Xiao couldn’t wait, wading into the water. A chill gripped him immediately, and he hopped back out, “Damn, the water’s freezing!”
Shen Mo advised: “Warm up before getting in the water. Otherwise, a sudden drop in body temperature might cause cramps.”
“Oh ” Tan Xiao replied, half-understanding. He found a spot in the corridor and began doing chest-expanding and leg-lifting warm-up exercises.
Chang Weicai passed a dry towel to Shen Mo: “Go to the room and change your wet clothes quickly, don’t catch a cold.”
After wiping himself with the towel, Shen Mo turned his gaze towards Bai Youwei on the loft.
She stood blankly, staring at him.
Holding the towel, he climbed the steps, scrutinizing her face, he asked: “Worried?”
Bai Youwei tried to speak: “…It’s okay.”
She realized her tongue and mouth were stiff; she was stuttering.
She was more than worried
She was afraid, terrified! She couldn’t imagine what she would do without Shen Mo!
This panic didn’t just stem from objective helplessness, but also the collapse of her emotional support!
Since when did it start? Unbeknownst to her, he had become irreplaceable in her heart.
Shen Mo held up his hand to touch her cheek.
Her body was icy cold, even colder than him, who had just emerged from the chilly water. Her back was soaked with cold sweat.
He was silent for a while, then said: “I was going to inform you guys, but I was afraid the plastic bag would be even harder to find if the location shifted.”
–Imagine searching for a plastic bag bobbing with the water currents in the pitch-dark underwater.
“I understand…” Bai Youwei took a deep breath, attempting to relieve her rigid body, “Go change your clothes… I’m, I’m fine.”
“Okay” He put the towel in her hand and instructed, “Wipe your sweat.”
Bai Youwei nodded as she held the towel.
After Shen Mo went to change his clothes, she stood at the door of the loft in a daze. She didn’t know what she was thinking. Maybe she was just spacing out, or pondering issues she hadn’t even realized. When she snapped back to reality, she noticed Tan Xiao and Yan Qingwen on the second floor had changed their clothes.
Su Man had changed too.
Ditching the cumbersome dress, she put on her shirt and jeans again, preparing to dive with the others.
Considering they would need to go underwater again, Shen Mo, who had returned, was still wearing his wet clothes.
This time, four people would be diving.
Shen Mo took Tan Xiao, Yan Qingwen took Su Man, two people per rope.
They made an agreement with Chang Weicai and Pan Xiaoxin, who watched over the ropes from above the water. Every 1 minute they would tug the rope – if they were okay, they would tug back. This would ensure the safety of all.
With everything ready, the four of them, each with a flashlight sealed in a plastic bag, slowly plunged into the water
This time, they stayed even longer than five minutes.
Every minute, Chang Weicai and Pan Xiaoxin would tug the rope, each time getting a response.
As time passed, everyone stopped panicking.
That Shen Mo could stay underwater for so long was due to his unique abilities, but now everyone had surpassed five minutes, indicating that the fish really worked!
Receiving rewards naturally made everyone happy, but it was a shame the crisis was not yet resolved, otherwise, it would be a good moment to celebrate.
