Chapter 290 Life Raft Overturned

This time, however, the heavens were especially ruthless, refusing to leave even this calm hopelessness to gu mohan. Not long after, a new round of storms swept over.

The bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky onto the raft, making a high-pitched and irregular sound. The waves surged up and down, and the life raft floated and sank with the rolling waves. Occasionally, the waves hit the life raft, causing water to splash even higher than gu mohan, who was sitting on the raft. His wet clothes were completely filled with seawater.

Worst of all, gu mohan had no choice but to let the life raft be pushed back and forth by the sea. Sometimes, his center of gravity was unstable and almost overturned.

Gu mohan had no idea what to do about it, but at this moment, ye zhiqiao woke up, not knowing whether it was shaking too violently or being stimulated by the piercing sea water and rain.

Her whole body was uncomfortable, and her chest was wrapped in something that made her unable to breathe. She looked down and saw that it was an orange life jacket. Gu mohan, who was sitting opposite her, was wearing the same life jacket as her.

There were no yachts, no crew, no doctors, and there was a sea all around, and below him was a life raft.

"Where are the others?" Ye zhiqiao asked weakly, only to find that her voice was very low, almost qi.

However, in the deafening sound of the waves, gu mohan immediately sensed her movements. Seeing that she had woken up, gu mohan was overjoyed. He wiped the water stains off his face and asked, "Are you awake? Is it cold? There's also a blanket here."

Ye zhiqiao shook her head and realized that he didn't hear her question. She held her breath and asked again, "Where are they?"

This time, gu mohan finally understood the mouth shape, and then gave her a rough description of what happened after she fainted and the current situation of the two of them.

Listening to Mohan's speech time, ye zhiqiao rested almost as much, her spirit was better, and she could support herself to sit up.

At this moment, another big wave came over, and the life raft swung. Ye zhiqiao was almost thrown off the raft! Fortunately, gu mohan's eyes and hands were quick, and even if he held her back, the waves that followed came back one after another.

Even if ye zhiqiao had just woken up, she could understand one thing - the life raft was about to overturn!

"The life raft is going to collapse!" Ye zhiqiao shouted to gu mohan with all her strength. Because if they didn't raise their voices at this time, they wouldn't be able to hear each other's voices in the loud waves.

Gu mohan nodded hard and replied loudly, "I know! It's okay. I'll try my best. Don't worry!"

How could ye zhiqiao not be worried? She could tell at a glance how difficult it was for gu mohan to control his direction that the two of them were weighing on the life raft and had to contend with the harsh natural environment. Even an iron man could not do anything about it.

Ye zhiqiao immediately thought of a way: "Mohan, this is not going to last! I'll go down first. You can go ashore in your life raft and find someone to save me!"

Of course, gu mohan would not agree with her, so he immediately shook his head and refused.

But now is not the time to be stubborn. Ye zhiqiao advised again, "Listen to me. I will be fine in my life jacket. It will be much easier for you to walk on your own if you can't move easily."

"Absolutely not!" Gu mohan gripped the control stick with both hands, turned his head and said in an exceptionally determined tone, "I won't leave you alone, absolutely not."

At the critical moment of life and death, ye zhiqiao did not know whether she should be happy or continue to stick to her original idea when she heard gu mohan say so.

In fact, she didn't have to worry about it anymore, because after a huge wave hit, the life raft completely... Flipped over.

The moment her body was weightless, and when her body entered the icy sea, her mouth and nose were filled with salty water, ye zhiqiao was extremely frightened. She felt like a little ant, and her fingers could be crushed easily. Fortunately, the next second, gu mohan's warm body came close to her and held her in his arms so that she could stabilize herself.

Perhaps because of his good physical fitness, gu mohan's clothes were soaked in the sea like ye zhiqiao's, but his body seemed to be able to continuously emit heat. Ye zhiqiao pressed against his chest, and both his physical perception and emotions were gradually calmed down.

However, this feeling did not last long. When gu Mohan found out that the life raft was blown away by the strong wind and brought her forward, the dizziness and suffocation came again. Ye zhiqiao only felt that her whole body was out of control. Whether it was gu mo han's waist or the head that was forced to lift, it was unbearable pain, and every step forward was painful.

This was obviously a bigger drag on gu mohan, who was carrying her along.

"Put down... Put me down..." Accompanied by a weak breath, ye zhi said this in a soft voice.

At such a close distance, gu mohan could definitely hear it, but he did not answer and continued swimming forward.

"Let me go!" Ye zhiqiao couldn't help but raise her voice and break free of gu Mohan's arms with both hands and feet, "This is not the way to go on. I don't have the strength. If you take me with you, you will only exhaust your strength."

Gu mohan stopped and was propped up on the sea by his life jacket. At this time, he had already lost his fear and anger. Even in the face of ye zhiqiao's resistance, he only showed a worried expression. Because he only had one thought in his heart - to save ye zhiqiao.

"Believe me, I still have the strength to swim to the shore." He promised.

"I don't believe it!" Ye zhiqiao looked grave and questioned him, "Can you still tell the direction? Do you know which side is the coast?"

"I know!"

"If you know, you can leave by yourself! I... Leave me alone..."

Ye zhiqiao looked sad and apologetic, and said in a trembling voice, "If I didn't have to come back, we wouldn't have done this at all. It's all because of me. I can't drag you down anymore. I really can't."

Seeing her disheveled appearance, gu mohan's heart suddenly softened and reached out to hug her: Zhiqiao... "

Ye zhiqiao, however, patted the water and slid back a few steps. Her eyes were red and she threatened, "I said I don't want you to take me with me! I can swim back by myself. We can swim separately. If you come over again, I'll stay here."

"But you can't swim at all." Gu mohan was heartbroken and helpless, so he had to frown and persuade, "I'll hold you with one hand, just one hand, okay?"

No, absolutely not. As long as she was taken care of, gu mohan would be distracted and physically exhausted. She could not agree.
