The vortex’s suction was so strong that even though it was only at the edge, it was not something that human power could compete with. A speedboat would have been sucked in. If it had been any other elfin instead of the mermaid, it would have been gone by now.
What was even more terrifying was that with every step he took towards the center of the whirlpool, the suction force would double.
Even if it was Sihwa, she would not be able to hold on for too long in this situation.
She and Zhang Zian both felt that, maybe it was sweat, maybe it was water, or maybe it was because of the strong pulling force, their palms became more and more slippery, and it was more and more difficult to hold each other’s wrists.
Fear distorted her swimming movements, and her physical strength was rapidly consumed. Her fishtail was more than ten times heavier than usual, like a heavy iron anchor that was about to sink her to the bottom of the sea.
If she was on earth, she wouldn’t be so afraid, but the huge strange fish just now made her feel a lingering fear.
She could see that there were other strange and huge shadows in the wall of water in the whirlpool, as if many strange creatures had been sucked into the whirlpool. If she was caught in it, she might be bitten by those monsters and swallowed.
She didn’t want to die. It was fine if she died on the top of the earth, but she didn’t want to die in such a strange place, especially in the sea. It was too embarrassing.
The pouring gray sea water kept washing her face, and her survival instinct made her wagged her tail while holding Zhang Zian’s wrist tightly.
However, the sea and the sky were leaving her at a slow and irreversible speed. Even Zhang Zian’s body was pulled by her into the vortex.
If this continued, both of them would be sucked into the vortex.
If she herself was sucked into the whirlpool, she might still have a chance of survival. After all, she could breathe in the water. But if he was sucked into it … He would definitely die.
What to do?
What to do?
“Let go!” She gritted her teeth and shouted. She didn’t know why, but she felt much more relaxed after she shouted.
Zhang Zian was already using all his strength to hold her and swim. He was holding on with his will. It was absolutely impossible for him to open his mouth to respond. Otherwise, once he lost his breath, everything would be over.
He only shook his head and told her not to give up hope.
“Let go!” “If this continues, we’ll all be sucked into it!” She shouted again.
He still shook his head.
“Let go, I’m fine! Did you forget? I’m a mermaid! I’m the daughter of the sea, I won’t die in the sea!” She tried her best to squeeze out a smile.
She was angry at his stubbornness. If it were any other time, she would have scolded him, but she was also very happy.
Wasn’t it the happiest and most gratifying thing for her that someone was willing to die with her?
Zhang Zian really wanted to scold her for having big breasts and no brains. The spinning speed of the center of the vortex was too fast. Once she was sucked into the center, it was like being in a washing machine that was being dehydrated. Not to mention that she was a mermaid, even if she was an Ironman, she would probably be torn and twisted.
But he couldn’t open his mouth. He could only hold her wrist with more strength and answer with his actions.
How annoying!
The force of the seawater hitting her cheeks was too strong. It was like a fist hitting her nose, causing her nasal cavity to suddenly be blocked by something sour and swollen.
Fortunately, at this moment, it should be impossible to distinguish between tears and seawater.
“That’s enough. I’m already very satisfied. Thank you, Zi …”
Sihwa smiled and let go of her hand. Now, he was the only one holding her wrist. This was obviously impossible to hold on to. In a few seconds at most, her wrist would slip from his hand.
“Swim that way! Gu Gu Gu~Gu~”
Zhang Zian tried his best and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence to interrupt her. At the same time, he turned his head to one direction.
Sihwa had been trying her best to swim out of the whirlpool, swimming away from the center of the whirlpool, but the position that Zhang Zian was pointing to was beside them.
She didn’t understand, but she believed in him. She could only believe in him. At this critical moment of life and death, he must be very confident to say that.
Zhang Zian couldn’t hold his breath after saying those four words, and his body was instantly swept into the edge of the vortex.
They had almost been separated.
The moment they were about to separate, Sihwa instinctively held his wrist again.
She changed her direction and swam towards the direction he indicated. Now, it was her who was pulling him.
A miracle happened.
Although that direction was not the shortest way out of the whirlpool, it was much easier to swim in. She could clearly feel that she was moving away from the whirlpool, as if there was an invisible hand pushing her from behind.
She looked 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.
Please don’t die!
An unknown force suddenly poured into her body, and she swam forward as if she was burning her life.
It was too slow!
Why was he so slow?
She had never swum so fast before. If someone were to see this scene from the sky, they would be amazed at her lightning-fast speed. She cut through the waves and left a long white line of water, but she still felt that she was as slow as a starfish.
The suction force behind him was getting smaller and smaller. Of course, the pushing force was getting smaller and smaller.
Sihwa turned around and used both hands to hold Zhang Zian’s hand. She swam backstroke and dragged him out of the sea.
“Cough! * Cough * Cough!”
Gray seawater gushed out of Zhang Zian’s trachea. He coughed and gasped violently, and his face turned blue. He was already in a state of semi-drowning, and he would fall into a coma in a few seconds.
The short few minutes just now felt like a century. He paddled until his whole body was out of strength. The hand holding Sihwa’s wrist was too strong, and now it was curled up like a chicken claw and could not be stretched straight.
Sihwa went around behind him and held him under her armpit. At the same time, she was careful to guard against any strange fish taking advantage of the situation.
A minute or two later, Zhang Zian finally recovered. Even when he hiccuped, there was a strange smell of seawater.
“Are you alright?” Sihwa asked.
“He’s still alive,” Zhang Zian wiped the seawater off his face.”By the way, did you just call me Zian?”
“You’re hearing things. ” She pulled a long face and changed the topic.””Why can we escape the vortex by swimming in this direction? You cheapskate, you can’t keep it to yourself!”
Zhang Zian panted a few more times.”The reason is very simple. The vortex is a circle, and this direction is roughly the direction of the tangent of the circle. If you want to escape the vortex, this is the right path. With the help of centrifugal force, you can get twice the result with half the effort.”
“The line cut? I know a circle, but what is a tangent?” She blinked her eyes in confusion.”What is centrifugal force?”
Zhang Zian sighed helplessly. If they were in the Pet Shop, he could draw pictures and explain to her, but how could he explain it now?
