Chapter 843: Chapter 837: Life After Catastrophe

He grabbed Searcy and made frantic gestures at Gu Youyou, looking very anxious.

In this critical moment, Gu Youyou actually understood and swiftly turned her head to look behind her.

Not far behind Gu Youyou, she saw another person who couldn’t swim.

Jin Zijin?

This guy can’t swim, why didn’t he say so earlier? She seethed with anger.

At the same time, her heart nearly stopped in fear.

And why the hell did he suggest swimming out by breaking through the stone wall if he couldn’t swim?

Seriously, it was life or death—Gu Youyou hurriedly swam towards him, grabbed his hand, passed a breath into his mouth, and then desperately swam upwards.

The water wasn’t deep here, and once out of the cave, they could see the azure sea and blue sky.

But what no one expected was that another person didn’t rush to come out but instead turned back into the cave and dived into that lotus pond to fetch the Sun Zhuzhao Pearl.

...

Another group of people was stunned as the seawater poured into the cave, quickly rising to waist level.

Fortunately, it only rose to their waists and did not go any higher.

Otherwise, given their current situation, escaping would have been difficult.

Seeing that the water no longer rose, everyone felt a sense of relief after a narrow escape.

They would climb up once they had recovered.

However, it seemed they had forgotten something—Jin Zijin had gone into the mouse hole to rescue someone and hadn’t come back.

Xiao Jinyan was terrified and said, "Jin Zijin is still in the cave; I have to save him."

Everyone’s faces paled with shock, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Someone immediately grabbed hold of Xiao Jinyan, saying, "General Xiao, you can’t go, the water’s already here, and those mouse holes are already submerged. It’s been so long, the person is definitely... gone."

Xiao Jinyan staggered, nearly unable to stand.

If Jin Zijin drowned, what future would the Xiao Family have? If he went back, wouldn’t his father be the death of him?

"No, I have to save him; he can’t die..."

Several people firmly restrained Xiao Jinyan, consoling him, "General Xiao, that hole is too deep; you can’t go."

"Yes, this place is strange. We should hurry back and report this situation to General Che."

Xiao Jinyan was dragged back by the people, and those red mice died or were injured in droves due to the flood, with only a few surviving and frantically crawling out.

Many monkeys were gathered on the mountaintop, fearful of the cave. Seeing the maddened red mice coming out, they were completely frightened and no longer dared to guard the people inside—they fled for their own lives.

In this way, they were able to safely return to the mountaintop and then safely descend the mountain to the ship.

...

Gu Youyou and the others had already safely reached the ocean’s surface. She gasped for air, still holding onto Jin Zijin tightly.

Suddenly, she remembered asking him a foolish question back in Lotus Village, inquiring who he would save first if she and Yue Rujing both fell into the water.

At that time, Jin Zijin’s serious face had a hint of awkwardness. Thinking about it now, his statement that he didn’t know how to swim was true.

It was hard to imagine someone like Jin Zijin being a non-swimmer and a stubborn one at that.

After catching her breath, she saw Jin Zijin’s condition and got a fright.

He had choked on water; he needed emergency treatment, artificial respiration.

Fortunately, the shore wasn’t far away; she quickly dragged him onto the shore.

On the other side, Gui Yunxi and Searcy were pulled ashore. Likewise, Searcy was motionless, unsure if dead or alive.

But she couldn’t concern herself with that now; she needed to administer emergency aid one by one—she had to save Jin Zijin first.
