The suction of the vortex is so powerful. Although it is only on the edge, that power is by no means something human can contend with. A speedboat in this position will be sucked down. If it is not a mermaid with a streamlined body, it is replaced by any other elf. It's gone.
What's even more frightening is that the suction power doubles with each step closer to the center of the vortex.
Even Se Hwa can't last long in this situation.
Both she and Zhang Zian felt that it might be sweat, it might be water, or it might be caused by a strong pulling force. Their palms became more and more slippery, and it became more and more difficult to hold each other's wrists firmly.
Fear deformed her swimming movements, her physical strength was being consumed rapidly, and the tail of the fish was more than ten times heavier than usual, as if a heavy iron anchor was about to drop her into the bottom of the sea.
If it was on the earth, she would not be so afraid, but the huge strange fish just now made her feel lingering fear.
She could see that there were other weird and huge shadows vaguely appearing in the water wall in the vortex, as if many strange-looking creatures were also sucked into the vortex. If she was involved, she might be bitten and swallowed by those monsters.
She didn't want to die, she didn't want to die on the top of the earth, she didn't want to die in such a strange place, especially in the sea, that would be too shameful.
The gray sea water pouring down kept washing her face, and her survival instinct made her flick her tail while tightly grasping Zhang Zian's wrist.
However, the sea and sky were moving away from her at a slow and irreversible speed, and even Zhang Zian's body was pulled half into the vortex by her.
If this continues, both of them will be sucked into the whirlpool.
If she herself was sucked into the vortex, she might still have a chance, after all, she could breathe in water, but if he got sucked in... he would definitely die.
what to do
what to do
"Let go!" She gritted her teeth and shouted. She didn't know why, but after shouting, she felt much more relaxed.
Zhang Zian had already tried his best just to hold her and swim. He was supported by a will, absolutely impossible to open his mouth to respond, otherwise everything would be over if he vented his anger.
He just shook his head, telling her not to give up hope.
"Let go!" She shouted again: "If this continues, we will all be involved!"
He still shook his head.
"Let go, I'm fine! Did you forget? I'm a mermaid! I'm the daughter of the sea, so I won't die in the sea!" She tried her best to smile.
She was angry at his stubbornness. If it was normal, she would have scolded him, but she was very happy.
Someone is willing to live and die with her, isn't this the most joyful and gratifying thing
Zhang Zian really wanted to scold her for having big breasts and no brains. The angular speed at the center of the vortex was too fast. Once she was sucked into the center, it was like being in a drum washing machine that was being dehydrated. Don’t call her a mermaid, even her It's an iron mermaid, and I'm afraid it will be torn and twisted.
But he couldn't speak, he could only hold her wrist with greater strength and answer with actions.
Hate!
The force of the seawater hitting her cheek was too strong, as if hitting her nose with a fist, causing her nasal cavity to be suddenly blocked by something sore and swollen.
Fortunately, at this time, tears and sea water should be indistinguishable.
"That's enough, I'm very satisfied, thank you, son..."
Shihua smiled and let go of his hand. Now he is the only one holding her wrist, which is obviously unstoppable. Her wrist will slip out of his hand in no more than a few seconds.
"Swim over there! Goo~goo~goo~"
Zhang Zian tried his best, and finally choked out a sentence, interrupted her, and at the same time turned his head to signal in one direction.
Shihua has been desperately trying to swim out of the vortex, swimming away from the center of the vortex, but the position Zhang Zian pointed at is their side.
She didn't understand, but she believed in him, she could only believe in him, at the critical moment of his life, he must have a very strong confidence to say that.
Because of just four words, Zhang Zian couldn't hold his breath, and his body was instantly sucked into the edge of the vortex.
Just a little bit later, they separated.
At the moment when they were about to separate, Shihua instinctively held his wrist backhand again.
She swam in the direction he signaled instead, and now she was pulling him again.
A miracle happened.
Although that direction was not the shortest distance away from the whirlpool, it was much easier to swim. She clearly felt that she was moving away from the whirlpool, as if there was an invisible hand pushing her behind.
She glanced back, Zhang Zian's entire body and head were submerged in the water, but the strength of his palm told her that he was not dead yet.
Don't die!
An inexplicable force suddenly poured into her body, and she almost swam forward as if burning her own life.
too slow!
why so slow!
She has never swam so fast before, and if someone watched this scene from the sky, they would be amazed at her lightning-like speed, chopping the waves and pulling out a long white line of water, but she still felt as slow as a starfish crawling.
The suction behind him is getting smaller and smaller, and of course, that thrust is decreasing faster.
Shihua turned around, held Zhang Zian's hand with both hands, and dragged him out of the sea in a backstroke position.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Gray sea water sprayed out from Zhang Zian's trachea, he coughed and gasped violently, his face turned blue, he was already in a half-drowning state, and would fall into a coma in a few seconds.
The short few minutes just now seemed like a century. He was exhausted from paddling, and the hand holding Shihua's wrist was curled up like a chicken paw because of too much force. straight.
Shihua went around behind him and supported him from his armpit instead, while being careful not to have strange fish around to rob him.
After a minute or two, Zhang Zian finally recovered his yang, and even hiccups smelled strangely of sea water.
"Are you okay?" Shihua asked.
"Alive." Zhang Zian wiped the seawater off his face, "By the way, did you call me Zian just now?"
"Your ears got it wrong." She put on a straight face and changed the subject and asked, "Why can you escape the vortex by swimming in this direction? You can't hide your secrets, you cheapskate!"
Zhang Zian took a few more breaths, "The reason is very simple, because the vortex is a circle, and this direction is roughly the tangent direction of the circle. If you want to escape from the vortex, this is the correct path. With the help of centrifugal force, you can get twice the result with half the effort."
"Tangent? I know circles. What is tangent?" She blinked in confusion, "What is centrifugal force?"
Zhang Zian sighed weakly, if it was in a pet shop, he could draw a picture and explain it to her, how can he explain it now
