Chapter 1482
56,57,58,59, surface!
Hu!
Zhou Jing emerged from the water. The gas in her lungs had been slowly discharged during the floating process. She opened her mouth into an oval shape and breathed in the fresh air quickly and slowly.
Not far from her, Abby was also almost sticking her head out.
The two did not have the time to talk. They could only use a few seconds to greedily complete the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen in their bodies. They took roughly four quick breaths, then took a deep breath and plunged into the water again. If it took too long, the tourists would get impatient.
The glass wall that the tourists were standing on could only see the bottom of the saltwater tank, which was roughly five to nine meters below the water. When the two of them floated to the surface for a breath of air, they disappeared from the audience's sight.
The effect of the red sugar ginger tea had also disappeared. It was still a little effective when he first drank it, as if his burning skin had temporarily blocked the cold water from eroding his body fat and muscles. However, as they went up and down again and again, their hot skin quickly cooled down. The cold was like the shadow of the setting sun that quietly wrapped around their internal organs. Now, they could only feel their heartbeats and the burning heat in their lungs.
This was the eighth time it had floated up.
Zhou Jing and Abby's performance was coming to an end.
Perhaps it was the effect of the painkillers, Zhou Jing no longer felt the pain in her lower abdomen. Of course, it could also be that the cold had blocked the transmission of nerves.
However, it didn't matter. They just had to persist two more times and float up. After the tenth time, their task was to wave goodbye to the tourists, then drift away from their sight and swim back to the small pool.
Zhou Jing's spirit relaxed a lot, and so did Abby.
Abby made a gesture. Zhou Jing took a deep breath and began her ninth dive.
Three meters underwater.
There were scales marked on the wall of the pool. Abby and Zhou Jing were hovering three meters below the water. Below them, they could already see the upper edge of the glass wall.
Both of them pinched their noses at the same time through the goggles, pursed their lips, tensed their facial muscles, contracted their chests, and put pressure on their lungs.
At this depth, the eardrums would be dented under the water pressure, which was as painful as being pricked by needles. Therefore, they had to stop and apply ear pressure, using the air in their lungs to push the eardrums back, otherwise it would greatly affect the diving.
Zhou Jing felt a light "buzz" coming from her earbones, and the tingling feeling in her eardrum disappeared, so she turned to look at Abby.
Abby's ear-pressing process seemed to have encountered some trouble. She made a gesture to Zhou Jing, which was a secret code between them that they could recognize at a glance, indicating that she needed to adjust. Then, she floated up half a meter and pressed her ear again.
This situation was not uncommon in diving. Even if they were well-trained, they would occasionally encounter situations where they failed to apply the ear pressure. They had to float half a meter up to adjust the water pressure and re-apply it, otherwise they could not continue diving.
Every second of the one-minute diving time was particularly precious. Zhou Jing also made a gesture to Abby, indicating that she would dive first. She couldn't let the tourists wait. This was also a very common way for them to deal with it. If they kept waiting, it would give too much psychological pressure to their companions who failed to apply the ear pressure.
Zhou Jing continued to dive and appeared in front of the tourists again.
It was very dark on the other side of the glass wall, so it was difficult for her to see the tourists 'faces from her perspective. However, she still recognized snowy because her body was very conspicuous among a group of middle-aged and overweight United States women.
Some of the children pressed their faces against the glass wall and tried to look up, as if they were wondering where the other mermaid had gone.
Zhou Jing raised her arms and bent them inward. The fingertips of her two palms were closed to the Baihui point on the top of her head, drawing a heart-shaped pattern to the tourists, trying to attract the tourists 'attention to her.
But ... She was not very successful. Some of the tourists seemed to be attracted by something else, something behind her.
If she wanted to see what was behind her in the water, she had to turn around as a whole. Zhou Jing swam sideways under the cover of other movements, pretending to look behind inadvertently.
A shadow was approaching from the sea.
It was a giant sea turtle, and the divers called it "irascible Bob."
The irascible Bob actually didn't have any ill intentions. He was just full of curiosity, especially about divers and mermaids. His brain capacity was probably too small, and he couldn't remember the curiosity he had just had the day before.
Terrible.
Zhou Jing's heart tightened. She and Abby had both suffered at the hands of this giant sea turtle. No matter how docile the sea turtle looked, its bite force was amazing. It could bite off a piece of meat in one bite. Her and Abby's diving suit and mermaid suit had been bitten through by it.
However, the turtle swam very slowly, so it could only make a surprise attack. Since she had already discovered it, it was not a big problem.
The light and shadow above her head shook slightly, and Zhou Jing knew that Abby had already dealt with the ear pressure.
Abby obviously also found the irritable Bob and found that he was swimming toward Zhou Jing, so she approached him a little and waved her hands at him, attracting his attention.
Zhou Jing understood Abby's intentions and stayed away from it in the opposite direction.
The irascible Bob abandoned Zhou Jing and changed to chasing Abby.
It seemed that only Zhou Jing could perform a one-man show this time.
Zhou Jing estimated that there were still 15 seconds before she would float up. Her brain was slightly distracted, thinking about what actions she should do in these 15 seconds.
In order to get away from the grumpy Bob, she had unknowingly approached the edge of the glass wall, where the bottom of the sea was connected by a series of dark brown reefs.
Some sharp-eyed audience members suddenly saw something moving between the cracks of the reef.
Immediately after, a long grayish-black creature poked its head out of the reef and quietly swam towards Zhou Jing.
A sea snake?
Fish?
The former should be longer than this creature, while the latter lived in the deep sea and should not appear in aquariums.
After the turtle swam away, most of the audience were focused on Zhou Jing's performance and didn't see that the sinister guy was quietly approaching her.
After Zhou Jing finished the action, she was a few seconds late. Just as she was about to float up, she suddenly felt something quickly poke her butt. She was not hurt or hurt through the mermaid suit.
The tourists all saw the guy and exclaimed.
It was a strong, adult conger eel that usually hid between the reefs and waited for rabbits to catch them, preying on small fish that passed by.
Compared to the warm sea turtles, the rapid and ferocious conger eels were more dangerous. Their teeth were as sharp as razors, and if they bit a hand, they could even bite off a finger.
Zhou Jing knew that things were not good. Whether it was a sea turtle or a conger eel, why did they all rush to her at this time?
Could it be ...
She suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be ... Because of her period?
At this time, he didn't have time to think too much. He had to float up to take a breath.
She raised her head and was about to wave her fishtail to float up when a shadow suddenly blocked the light above her head.
The irascible Bob swam back.
