"Damn, this is so thrilling! It's like I've walked through hell. I feel my adrenaline pumping like never before, a mix of fear and excitement... it's even more intense than a roller coaster, and that ride is nothing compared to this.
This is... just too fast!
The Simple Submarine slid down the winding passageway, far more exhilarating than any roller coaster. As we plunged downward, I couldn't help but let out a scream, "Ah!" The sound echoed away without a hint of reverberation, which only emphasized how long this tunnel truly was!
Wan and Xiao Xiao curled up in my arms, trembling uncontrollably. She looked so scared that tears were nearly spilling from her eyes; I had never seen her this frightened before!
I stared at her for a moment, and her expression made me chuckle despite the terrifying environment. I was impressed with myself for managing to laugh in such a ghostly situation.
We continued to slide down the twisting tunnel, colliding at various turns. By the time we reached the bottom, my back felt like it was about to break. To avoid being thrown out, there was no place to hide; I had to endure the jarring impacts with nothing but my flesh. I clung desperately to the seat of the jet ski, using every ounce of strength I had. Maintaining such a tense state was exhausting; I was gritting my teeth just to hold on, relying solely on sheer willpower.
It was pitch black here. To avoid being thrown out, I couldn't spare a hand to grab the flashlight; I couldn't see what lay ahead at all. So, after nearly half an hour of torment in this tunnel, the Simple Submarine suddenly crashed into the end with a loud bang. The sudden inertia sent us flying out of the submarine; even though I held onto the seat with my arms, I almost pulled a muscle in the process.
The others were also hurled out violently, dropping into the dark abyss below without a trace! It was terrifying.
Everything happened so suddenly. In that split second of being thrown out, I instinctively tightened my grip around Wan. In mid-air, I turned my body to shield her in my embrace, and then my back slammed against the end of the tunnel with a thud. The impact nearly knocked the breath out of me, and I ended up spitting blood as I gasped.
But that wasn't all; after that collision, instead of hitting the ground immediately, we were propelled backward over a meter. Then I found myself sitting on something round and soft beneath me. The sensation was quite peculiar; it didn't feel like anything particularly hard—my backside didn't hurt at all.
"Brother Xia! Wuwu! Are you okay?"
Could I be okay? If I were fine, it would be unbelievable! As I wondered what I'd landed on, it felt soft and squishy beneath me and seemed to move slightly—not like a cushion at all; it felt more like an animal."
The bowl's eyes glanced down and shouted, "Brother Xia, it seems like you're sitting on someone! Hahaha, and it looks like a fat one too!"
I pondered for a moment before realizing, "Yes, it seems like there's someone sitting under me..."
To be honest, after he said that, I truly felt something warm beneath me, as if something was exhaling heat. It was so cozy that I didn't want to move. However, sitting on a person—especially a living one—wasn't quite right. So I quickly got up. It was too dark to see clearly, but I could vaguely make out that there was indeed someone lying beneath me. Who it was remained unclear, so I pulled out my flashlight from my backpack and turned it on for a second. I was instantly dumbfounded!
The person I almost sat to death was Bald Qiang!
At that moment, Bald Qiang had already started kicking his legs. I was sitting on his belly, and despite his thick gut, he was still rolling his eyes from the pressure. His mouth was wide open, clearly gasping for air.
No way, did I just sit my teammate to death?
That would truly be the biggest blunder ever!
I was somewhat stunned; just moments ago, I had clearly sat on something round and plump—it should have been Big Mouth Lee's head. I hadn't crushed his skull or anything; how could Bald Qiang be in such a state?
I shone the flashlight on him and took a closer look. That’s when I noticed Zhang Jinya was missing several teeth in front. After a moment of thought, it dawned on me—hadn't I just sat on Bald Qiang's head? When I spoke earlier, Gold Tooth must have slipped into his throat and choked him!
I hadn't been sitting on his belly; it turned out I'd been on his head! This was unbelievable!
Artificial respiration—let's give it a try!
Without thinking much further, I grabbed Bald Qiang's head and lifted it up. Then, without hesitation, I pounded my fists against his back like they were ribs. However, at that moment, my limbs felt weak and I couldn't muster much strength. Bald Qiang continued to roll his eyes. I shouted loudly, "Give him a good hit!"
"Brother Xia, watch this!"
Bowl took several steps back and then charged at Bald Qiang, delivering a flying kick to his back. The force of the kick sent Bald Qiang's upper body lurching forward, his eyes rolling back as he nearly collapsed. However, the immediate effect of the kick was evident; Bald Qiang began coughing violently, leaning against the wall as he gasped for breath. Before long, he was back to his usual self, cursing loudly, "Damn it! You're trying to kill me! I was just lying there peacefully, and you come in with a kick that nearly cost me my life! Think about my reputation, Zhang Ye! I've faced so many storms in my life, and yet here I am, almost taken out by your reckless antics. Where am I supposed to put my face when I go out?"
This time, it was indeed my blunder that almost caused serious harm to him, and I felt too embarrassed to retort. After hesitating for a moment, I asked Bald Qiang, "Where are the others? Have you seen them?"
Bald Qiang rolled his eyes at me, still simmering with anger. "Look around yourself!"
At his urging, I quickly turned on my flashlight and scanned the area. Sure enough, Zhengyang and the others were all lying on the ground nearby, each one injured from clearly colliding with something when they rushed down the passage. Unlike me, they weren't as fortunate; they had been hit in critical spots and had lost consciousness. Fortunately, the places they were hit were serious but not life-threatening.
We were currently in an open space where countless passages converged. It seemed that Qingyi and the others had been sucked into a tunnel and ended up here before being knocked out.
On the other side of this open area was another tunnel that likely led directly to the Atlantis Ruins.
After a quick assessment of our situation, I felt more grounded in our predicament. However, this wasn't the time to think about moving forward; we needed to focus on rescuing our friends first!
It looked like this path... would be difficult to navigate!
