The moment Gao Yanqing came to his senses, he realized it was a trap. The route underwater was wrong. The hole beneath the boat... that hole was definitely not a way out!
Maybe... the real danger was lurking there!
After a moment of panic, Gao Yanqing forced himself to calm down. Panic wouldn't solve anything; it would only get him killed faster. He needed to think about how to survive. Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about holding his breath underwater. Otherwise, there would be no way out of this situation.
From experience, Gao Yanqing judged that if he swam upstream now, there was a good chance the things underwater would notice him and drag him under. Besides, Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie were behind him, and they weren't fools. The moment he swam back, they would realize that the real danger was below.
If they'd survived until now, these two weren't softhearted people. If they blocked his way back, he'd be trapped in a dead end all the same.
His mind raced, but only a few seconds passed in reality. Gao Yanqing furrowed his brow as an idea came to him. He continued downstream, slowing his pace. Large objects kept getting swept into the whirlpool and dragged underwater. When a wooden wardrobe floated beside him, he reached out and grabbed it.
A moment later, Gao Yanqing acted as if he'd made a major discovery. Clinging to the wardrobe, he struggled to turn around and frantically gestured to Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie, who were some distance behind him.
At the sight, Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie didn't hesitate. They kicked their legs and quickly swam over to Gao Yanqing. Following his gesture, they peered closely at the spot he'd pointed out.
But the next second, while the two weren't
