Chapter 120 Rescuing People from Dire Straits
Zhuo Yang stopped at the stairwell leading to the lowest level of the third-class cabin, his brow furrowed.
The next floor was already flooded, and seawater was surging up the stairs.
"Guo'er, hang in there!"
Zhuo Yang took a deep breath and plunged into the sea.
The seawater was icy cold, but it couldn't stop him from moving forward. The surging water made it difficult to control his body, so he simply used his longsword. He pierced through the wall with one stroke, then grabbed the sword and moved forward, repeating this action again and again, making his way forward with difficulty.
The underwater lighting was dim, with only the emergency lights emitting a faint glow.
At the Golden Core stage, one can barely achieve internal energy, allowing one to stay underwater for extended periods without needing to breathe. Zhuo Yang finally found the crew's mess hall and immediately grabbed the hatch and dived in.
The restaurant was almost completely dark. Zhuo Yang used his demonic eyes to barely find the door to the cold storage.
He arrived at the door of the cold storage room, banged on it with the hilt of his sword, and simultaneously channeled his inner energy, roaring underwater, "Chen Guo! Chen Guo!"
A large amount of seawater rushed into his mouth and then into his lungs.
Zhuo Yang could only force himself to endure it.
A few knocks came from inside the door, along with a faint shout—it was Chen Guo's voice!
"Step back, I'll break open the hatch and hold my breath!"
Zhuo Yang roared again, expelling seawater from his lungs. It choked him, making him want to cough but he couldn't, causing him extreme discomfort.
Forcibly suppressing his anger, he circulated his true energy and swung his sword at the cold storage door.
After a muffled thud, seawater surged into the cold storage, and he was swept in as well.
Before the sea level could recover, Zhuo Yang used his sixth sense to accurately locate Chen Guo, who had been washed to a corner by the sea, and Cui Yi beside her.
"do not move!"
Zhuo Yang roared and unleashed his full power, his longsword piercing out and tearing a large hole in the air above his head.
He grabbed the two men, forcefully threw them through the hole, and then leaped out of the water.
"Cough cough..."
Zhuo Yang lay on the ground, coughing up the seawater that had entered his lungs.
Cui Yi coughed with difficulty, and the seawater around him was stained red; he was seriously injured.
Chen Guo was also injured; the wound on her arm was still bleeding.
"Zhuo Yang, you actually came!" An excited smile appeared on her little face. She struggled to crawl over and tried to help Zhuo Yang up.
To everyone's surprise, Zhuo Yang actually came to his rescue at the last moment.
I thought I was going to die!
Seeing Zhuo Yang's pained expression, she was moved to tears.
"The boat is sinking, let's hurry!" Zhuo Yang turned around and helped her up, then helped Cui Yi up. The three of them waded through the water and staggered into the passage.
The three of them finally managed to leave the cabin, where the water level was gradually rising, and returned to the deck.
At this moment, the storm on the sea was getting more and more violent. Waves kept surging onto the ice surrounding the cruise ship, taking away several lifeboats and causing the tourists on the ice to scream in alarm.
The captain was very responsible and directed the crew to tie more lifeboats together to form a huge lifeboat float, in order to save as many tourists as possible.
Zhuo Yang glanced at the situation at sea and asked in a deep voice, "Where are Meng Xiaolong and the others?"
"I don't know!" Cui Yi replied through gritted teeth.
He was badly injured, with a knife wound on his chest, waist, and thigh. After being soaked in seawater, the wounds were not only still bleeding, but also causing him excruciating pain.
Chen Guo was also seriously injured. In addition to the knife wound on her left arm, she also had a wound on her waist, which, although not very serious, was bleeding.
"You guys go to the lifeboat, I'll go find Meng Xiaolong and the others!" Zhuo Yang tossed Chen Guo a bottle of healing pills, then leaped into the air and used his sixth sense to sense things.
Having used up all the Cold Spring Pills, Chen Guo and Cui Yi only had pills they had stolen from other cultivators left, but they weren't very effective. They had lost their fighting ability.
With his sixth sense activated, Zhuo Yang silently recited the names of Meng Xiaolong and Su Hui in his mind.
A scene quickly flashed into my mind: several teenagers hiding in a room...
"A bunch of idiots! The ship is sinking, why aren't they rushing to the lifeboats?" Zhuo Yang cursed in dissatisfaction, then leaped from the air and rushed back into the cabin.
"Zhuo Yang, be careful!"
Chen Guo called out, her face turning pale with anxiety.
The situation at sea was not optimistic. A loud cracking sound came from the ice, and a huge block of ice broke off next to the cruise ship and drifted away.
The cruise ship had been flooded with seawater, and its stern sank violently, creating huge waves several meters high that swept several lifeboats on the nearby ice into the sea.
The ship rocked violently, and Zhuo Yang almost crashed into the wall. He steadied himself by holding onto the wall, his brow furrowed.
"Damn it, I never intended to be a good person!"
He roared angrily, then drew his dragon-patterned longsword and slashed it, creating a large hole in the wall beside him.
Behind the wall was a room where an elderly couple huddled together, trembling.
"Get out of here quickly, the ship is sinking!" Zhuo Yang roared, continuing to use his sword to break through the wall in front of him and pass through it.
The elderly couple were shocked and quickly fled.
As he left the room, the old man turned around and called out, "Young man, thank you!"
"Go quickly!"
Zhuo Yang shouted without turning his head, and then shattered the wall with another sword strike.
He broke through several walls in succession and unexpectedly encountered tourists again.
A mother is crying while holding her swaddled baby.
"Follow the broken wall, and when you get to the passage, go to the deck. There are lifeboats there!" Zhuo Yang pulled her up and shouted through gritted teeth.
I just don't understand. Why would someone cry while holding their child instead of trying to escape with them?
The mother seemed to wake from a dream, grabbed her child and ran, without even thinking to thank them.
Zhuo Yang didn't care and slashed through the wall again with his sword...
After breaking through countless walls, Zhuo Yang suddenly slashed his longsword downwards, instantly leaving a crack more than a meter long in the ground. Then, with another strike, he completely shattered the crack.
Inside the room, the three boys looked up in fright at the loud noise.
"Brother Zhuoyang?"
Meng Xiaolong looked at Zhuo Yang with surprise and quickly jumped out of the hole.
Zhuo Yang grabbed him by the collar and cursed, "Damn it, do you guys want to die? The ship is sinking, what are you standing there like idiots?"
Meng Xiaolong pointed to the hole and said with a wry smile, "Brother Zhuo Yang, it's not that we don't want to leave, but Su Hui is injured, so we can't leave!"
"what happened?"
Zhuo Yang looked closely and saw that Meng Xiaolong was pale and disheveled, as if he had been in a fight, with a few drops of blood on his chest, as if he had vomited blood.
“We learned we had to abandon ship and left immediately, but on the way we ran into a bald guy in a Dragon Tiger Gang uniform who was killing anyone he saw.” Meng Xiaolong spoke quickly. “We could only hide, but he found us.”
“That silly girl Su Hui actually turned around to stop the bald guy from killing someone, and he beat her up. We risked our lives to rescue her, and then we hid here.”
Zhuo Yang frowned, thinking to himself, "Gao Ren is killing people indiscriminately... he must be practicing a secret technique of the demonic sect. The more people he kills, the faster his cultivation will improve!"
