Chapter 108: Your Boat Has Been Requisitioned by Me!
The sudden change that appeared ahead caused many in the audience to involuntarily let out gasps of surprise!
In his urgency, Chu Chen had no time to think; he locked onto the fissure, then shifted his body and, following the surging undercurrent, precisely passed through the fissure and broke into the deepest part of the rift valley!
【Holy crap!】
【A real-life human submarine!】
【Too badass!】
【Good heavens, does this body have an automatic navigation function or something?!】
【Please accept my knees!】
The space inside the fissure was very limited.
The rock walls on both sides could not be seen to the end at a glance.
After entering, whether it was due to the canyon effect of the space or some other reason, Chu Chen could clearly feel the suction of the undercurrent increase significantly!
If the system hadn't activated the Berserk State for him in advance, adding this layer of fault tolerance, the breath he was holding might have been released long ago!
But even with the system's assistance, the prolonged oxygen deprivation had greatly compromised Chu Chen's bodily functions and mobility!
Right now, he could hold on for at most another ten minutes!
If he couldn't find an exit within these ten minutes, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking this, Chu Chen steadied his mind, relying on his powerful willpower to suppress the discomfort brought on by his body's various organs!
At this moment, he had already been in the water for a full half hour...
After entering the fissure, those detectors that had been relentlessly pursuing Chu Chen were all blocked outside!
At the same time, the surveillance footage in the Temporary Command Room also lost sight of Chu Chen at this instant, and they could only watch helplessly as he disappeared before their eyes.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiong slammed the table hard, then immediately put the walkie-talkie to his mouth and said:
"All units, please note, the situation has changed. Due to the complex environment, the detectors cannot continue to go deeper, and we have lost visual on the target. The specific coordinates where he last appeared are 13 degrees 12 minutes 59 seconds East Longitude, 6 degrees 23 minutes 42 seconds South Latitude, heading southwest..."
Hearing this news, Zhou Yun, who was desperately speeding toward the previous coordinate point, felt his heart go cold!
"Team Leader Chen, what exactly is going on?" Zhou Yun said, holding the walkie-talkie to his mouth.
"There was a situation. Once past 800 meters, the entire rift valley suddenly tightened. Due to the limited space, the detectors simply couldn't follow..."
Hearing this, Zhou Yun's emotions completely collapsed: "My God..."
In all his years, Zhou Yun had never been as speechless as he was today!
Sometimes, he really regretted coming to participate in this program!
How nice it would have been to just stay in his original unit, shooting guns and training those green recruits; that would be better than suffering here!
"What do we do now?"
Withdrawing his thoughts, Zhou Yun sighed helplessly, adjusted his emotions, and said: "We will continue to pursue according to the previous coordinates. You go notify the military and see if they can find another route to detour."
"He has already been underwater for over half an hour now. If nothing goes wrong, he should be reaching his limit soon. Don't relax; I don't believe he won't come out."
"Understood, let's split up."
Zhou Yun's deduction was correct.
Chu Chen's current physical state had indeed reached its limit.
If he didn't escape soon, due to the continuous decline in bodily functions, the brain's central nervous system would force a recovery of respiratory function. Once it reached that point, drowning would not be far off.
But the more it was a time like this, the more one had to stay calm.
Panicking would only accelerate his demise.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen unconsciously increased his speed, continuing to search for his way out in the endless abyss.
Soon.
Another five minutes passed!
Just then, a faint point of light suddenly appeared in the sea area ahead.
The place where the light appeared was basically consistent with the flow of the undercurrent.
Realizing it might be the exit, Chu Chen felt a surge of joy in his heart, unconsciously quickened his movements again, and followed the water flow toward the light.
The deep blue sea surface was empty.
One could only see a watermark left behind by a speedboat speeding past.
After receiving the news of Chu Chen's disappearance, Zhuang Yan also arrived at the coordinates provided by Chen Xiong at the first opportunity.
Upon arriving, she immediately stopped the speedboat and looked around.
The boundless sea was calm, and except for a few seabirds foraging on the surface, not even a ghost could be seen.
Seeing this, Zhuang Yan took out her binoculars and looked around carefully.
But the result was still the same.
The sea surface within her line of sight was peaceful, with no obvious abnormalities.
Putting down the binoculars, Zhuang Yan glanced at the time on her sports watch.
Based on the time, the position he was in now was most likely still within this sea area!
Even if there was a situation along the way, there shouldn't be too much of a deviation.
But right now, this area of dozens of nautical miles didn't look like anyone had been there at all.
Could it be that he found another way out?
But even so, it was impossible for him not to surface for air, because as of now, he had been lingering underwater for nearly 40 minutes!
40 minutes of anaerobic deep diving, and without a single bit of oxygen supply!
Is this really possible?
Even if it were possible, a body would eventually reach its limit!
Unless it's Superman.
Zhuang Yan's line of reasoning reached this point and came to a complete standstill.
Because she simply could not find a logical reason to convince herself...
The next second!
Just as she was deep in thought, an unusual movement in the sea area not far away suddenly interrupted her train of thought!
Seeing this, Zhuang Yan instinctively turned her head to look!
At first, she thought it was a fish splashing in the Water, but upon closer inspection, she realized it was actually Chu Chen!
At this moment, he was floating on the surface of the sea, breathing frantically in large gulps!
"Hoo—!"
Seeing this scene, Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and steered the speedboat directly toward him!
Right now, a narrow escape from death had just come to an end, and before she had even caught her breath, Zhuang Yan's sudden charge caught Chu Chen off guard!
Watching the speedboat racing toward him, Chu Chen adjusted his breathing as quickly as possible, and at the very last moment, he took a deep breath and dove into the Water!
Seeing this, Zhuang Yan hurriedly released the throttle, stopped the speedboat, and immediately drew the pistol tucked at her waist, staying alert to check for changes in the nearby Water!
The next second!
Just as she focused all her attention on the Water in front of her, Chu Chen had already taken the opportunity to circle behind her and quietly climbed onto the deck.
At the same time, Zhuang Yan also sensed something unusual behind her!
"Don't move!"
After turning around, she immediately aimed her gun at Chu Chen: "Let me see your hands!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't get excited."
Seeing her pull out a gun, Chu Chen smiled and slowly raised his hands, soothing her emotions while signaling to her with his eyes:
"Relax, you're very safe, I'm not carrying any weapons on me..."
"Don't move! I'm warning you, don't move!!!"
Chu Chen had just started to lower his hands when he heard a sharp shout!
"Calm down, miss, I just want to prove to you... that I don't have any weapons on me... don't shoot, okay? Because even blank cartridges hurt quite a bit when they hit you."
"Don't speak."
As she spoke, Zhuang Yan stared at him fixedly while pacing to stand in front of him:
"I have some bad news for you: you're under arrest."
Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled and asked in return: "Is that so?"
"That's right."
"Then I have some bad news for you, too."
"?"
"Your boat has been requisitioned by me!"
