Chapter 60 A Life Not Destined to Die
The heavy rain continued.
Several members of the diving rescue team are putting an underwater robot into the trunk of a vehicle.
Raindrops pattered on the makeshift tent, making a "drip-drip-drip" sound.
"Old Han, the underwater robot came up empty-handed. Judging from the current situation, it should have perished." Tang Feng patted him on the shoulder. "Don't overthink it."
The old cat remained silent, only nodding.
"Let's wait until the weather clears up before retrieving the body," Tang Feng said, sighing inwardly before turning to direct his team members to pack up their equipment.
The old cat gazed at the murky water.
Two young lives were lost just like that.
He felt guilty and blamed himself, attributing a large part of the cause of the accident to himself.
If I had looked back and paid more attention, perhaps the outcome would be different now.
Xu An and Jiang Xiyan's voices and appearances appeared before his eyes.
"Old Cat".
"Cat Bro".
I could almost hear Xu An and Jiang Xiyan's voices.
"Old Han".
"Old Han".
Old Cat snapped out of his daze and looked at Tang Feng in front of him: "What's wrong?"
Tang Feng sighed inwardly, "You've seen the current situation; we can't carry out effective work, so we'll head back now."
The old cat nodded.
The members of the diving rescue team packed their things and prepared to leave.
Zhang Su, who had been staring intently at the murky water, suddenly noticed something. He thought he saw bubbles.
He wasn't sure, so he quickly focused his attention and looked carefully.
The rain was too heavy; if it were a sunny day, it would be easy to see clearly.
Zhang Su stared intently, and his eyes widened. He was certain he saw it; there were indeed bubbles!
Under what circumstances will bubbles rise from underwater?
His pupils contracted, and his heart suddenly began to pound.
Before he could react, two heads suddenly emerged from the water.
Boom!
Upon seeing the two heads emerge from the water, a thunderclap exploded in Zhang Su's mind.
"They're not dead! They're not dead! They're not dead!" Zhang Su shouted with ecstasy.
Hearing the commotion, Old Cat and Tang Feng all turned to look.
"Look! They're not dead!" Zhang Su turned to look at them, pointing excitedly at the water.
So, Old Cat and Tang Feng looked as if they had seen a ghost, and then their eyes lit up with ecstasy.
Old Cat reacted the fastest, running out of the tent to lend a hand.
Zhang Su and Tang Feng also rushed forward.
When Xu An and Jiang Xiyan successfully reached the shore, the most excited people were Lao Mao and Zhang Su.
Xu An's physical condition was fine despite spending a long time underwater.
Jiang Xiyan's face turned pale from the cold, and her teeth were chattering.
"Quickly, go get a dry towel," Tang Feng instructed his men.
A large group of people sprang into action, prioritizing the health of Jiang Xiyan and Xu An.
It wasn't until the two of them took off their gear and changed into dry clothes that they stopped.
"Xu An, how did you two manage to get back alive?"
Although Old Cat's words may be somewhat offensive, they are not without merit.
According to Lao Mao's judgment, Jiang Xiyan's gas cylinder will run out of gas first, followed by Xu An.
In short, it means that both of them must have run out of gas and died underwater.
Of course, I'm not cursing them to die.
All these judgments are based on reality.
Inside the tent, everyone stared wide-eyed at the man and woman who had narrowly escaped death.
Jiang Xiyan drank hot water and turned to look at Xu An.
Xu An thought for a moment and then began to recount their underwater experience.
It is said that when Jiang Xiyan ran out of gas, she was lucky enough to find a gas chamber.
It was precisely because of the existence of the air chamber that Xu An had the opportunity to find Jiang Xiyan.
Then, with the help of the two brand-new gas cylinders that Xu An brought, the two of them successfully returned to the decompression point and floated up after successfully decompressing.
The sudden downpour prevented Old Cat from collecting the pressure-reducing gas cylinders in time.
It has to be said that every sip and every bite seems to be predetermined.
If it doesn't rain, the old cat still won't be able to find them. When he pronounces their death sentence, he'll definitely retrieve the pressure-reducing gas cylinders.
Throughout Xu An's narration, Jiang Xiyan kept looking at him, her beautiful eyes reflecting only Xu An's image.
She listened quietly, just like the old cat and the others, acting as a loyal listener.
However, what she was recalling was what had happened before.
According to Xu An, when he found Jiang Xiyan, she was still conscious. He then gave her the gas cylinder, and the two of them returned safely.
But Jiang Xiyan remembered very clearly that when she was in deep despair and about to die, she saw a beam of light the moment she closed her eyes for the last time.
She then lost consciousness.
When she opened her eyes again, Xu An was kissing her, and the two of them were not far from the decompression point.
What exactly happened in between, and how did he manage to get himself back to the stress relief point?
Jiang Xiyan had no idea.
Her memory differs greatly from Xu An's account.
But she was smart enough not to say a word, and just listened and watched him quietly.
Zhang Su was also completely captivated by Xu An's story.
Although he spoke of it casually, Zhang Su knew that the dangers involved were not something to be told to outsiders.
If any part of the process goes wrong, even the slightest difference, both of them will die below.
If he had to say, Zhang Su believed it was fate; their lives weren't meant to end, and God wouldn't let them die.
Zhang Su looked at Jiang Xiyan.
When he saw Jiang Xiyan staring intently at Xu An, her eyes sparkling, his heart skipped a beat.
"not good!"
A very bad idea popped into my head.
The hero rescuing the damsel in distress has always been one of the most effective ways to win a woman's heart.
Jiang Xiyan's current appearance gave Zhang Su a very bad feeling.
He seemed to have a premonition of something, and then he heard a crisp "snap" sound.
That was the sound of a heart cracking open.
"Xu An, you guys are incredibly lucky, so lucky it's unbelievable."
After listening to Xu An's story, Lao Mao couldn't help but sigh.
"Yeah, you two are incredibly lucky," Tang Feng remarked.
"It's good that you're both alright." Old Cat still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it now.
Feng Yingying's eyes were red and swollen. She clung tightly to Jiang Xiyan's arm, pursing her lips, afraid that something else might happen to Jiang Xiyan.
Fortunately, Xu An and Jiang Xiyan are both unharmed.
In the end, it was a good ending.
Although Tang Feng and his team made a wasted trip, they were all very happy and wished that every time they went out on a call, they would make a wasted trip like this time.
A narrow escape from death is something to celebrate!
The torrential rain continued, and everyone packed their belongings to head back.
Old Cat made a reservation at a restaurant, indicating that Tang Feng and the others should come over after get off work.
Tang Feng did not refuse.
Back to the hotel.
Jiang Xiyan stood in the bathroom, her eyes closed, letting the hot water fall over her head and slide down her fair skin.
What flashed through her mind was the glimmer of light she vaguely saw as she was sinking into despair and on the verge of death, and the soft touch she felt in her mouth when she opened her eyes...
