It took a while after the dive ended before Song Wenbin recovered from the huge and dangerous pressure difference under the care of the medical team. He leaned against the cockpit of the Sanbao with a breathing mask on, breathing deeply. Although it is still uncomfortable, it is much better than when I first came out of the water.
There was a doctor in front of him all the time, pointing his finger and asking him for numbers.
After Song Wenbin answered a few questions, the doctor nodded and removed the respiratory mask from his face.
Huo Yu on the side recovered faster. At this moment, she was holding a cup of glucose to replenish the body's lost water and energy. When she saw Song Wenbin looking over, she subconsciously handed the cup over. Song Wenbin hesitated for a moment, but took it. But didn't drink.
Sutina was searching for the salvaged objects with her team members. She said she was searching, but in fact she was just standing aside, looking at them with a pale face and a dull expression.
There is no doubt that what Huo Yu and Song Wenbin salvaged this time is still of no value, and this is undoubtedly destroying her remaining confidence.
Song Wenbin seemed very calm. He asked, "Has the place you explored this time been marked?"
Sutina nodded slowly: "It's marked."
"Take a rest and continue in the afternoon." Song Wenbin said: "Finish exploring the deep water area of this atoll."
"What, continue...?"
Su Tina looked at Song Wenbin with a pale face and shook her head: "We can't continue, this intensity is too high."
The doctor on the side also said: "You can only work one day and rest one day. You cannot dive continuously, otherwise your body will be unable to bear it."
"I remember that it was normal for Yang Xu to dive more than ten times a day during Nanhai No. 1." Song Wenbin said: "Continue."
"Nanhai No. 1 is not that deep at all!!" Sutina said loudly: "That is a conventional diving, can it be compared with this!?"
But even if she said this, Song Wenbin did not change her mind.
Huo Yu also sighed at this time and said: "Let's continue in the afternoon. There are two shifts a day. We must finish the exploration as soon as possible and let the Shenxing Taibao return to Sentosa Port. It will be too eye-catching to stay here for a long time."
"You can't do this..." Sutina said with red eyes: "Maybe my inference is wrong, maybe the impact point is not at this location at all, or maybe it's an error in the record... We, let's give up."
Song Wenbin looked at Su Tina and shook his head: "If you invest so much money, you have to see something, otherwise we won't be able to communicate. Needless to say, I believe your inference is reasonable. Since one thing is reasonable, there is It will definitely be reflected in reality, I believe so.”
Sutina wanted to say something else, but Huo Yu interrupted her and said, "No need to say more, we will continue in the afternoon."
…
In the afternoon, after a short rest and relaxation, Song Wenbin and Huo Yu continued to go into the water. However, the cold sea was not moved by their diligence. After a search, it was another fruitless day.
After three days, Atoll No. 1 was searched, with no results.
Three more days passed, and Atoll No. 2 was also searched, but still nothing was found.
A full ten days have passed, and most of the No. 3 atoll, which is no longer within the scope of Surabaya, has been searched. Even the double supply purchased by Song Wenbin in Surabaya is about to be exhausted, but nothing has been found.
The excitement of coming to Indonesia for the first time has already been exhausted in more than ten days of intense work and disappointment again and again. All three of them felt something called reality. It was so realistic that even Song Wenbin, who had been working hard in society for many years, found it difficult to accept it.
That night, the three of them sat on the sunbathing mat at the bow of the yacht. Sutina silently lowered her head and hugged her knees, Huo Yu held a bottle of beer with dull eyes, and Song Wenbin sat on the bow, smoking a cigarette.
For twenty consecutive days, every time he was disappointed after hard work, he thought it would be a rebound. However, he really underestimated the bottom depth of human emotions. Every time he hit the ground, there was no rebound. Disappointment did not mean the arrival of hope. , perhaps just the beginning of greater disappointment.
"Is there any place we haven't looked for yet?" Huo Yu asked Sutina softly.
"There are still some corners and corners, I think it is no longer necessary." Su Tina said softly: "This is a mistake in my judgment. Maybe the ancients were joking with us, maybe Mao Yuanyi recorded it wrong, maybe there is no Nine-marked Dragon Treasure Box at all , maybe it has been salvaged long ago, or maybe it has been pushed underground by the movement of the earth's crust..."
Facing Sutina's frustration, Huo Yu was speechless. She searched for a needle in a haystack for twenty consecutive days and found nothing. At this moment, she also had the idea of giving up.
Sutina couldn't bear it anymore, she hugged her knees and cried bitterly, "I'm useless... If I were smarter... maybe I could determine the precise landing point... But I can't... it's too much It’s difficult…it’s too difficult…”
Song Wenbin looked at the crying Su Tina with a gloomy expression, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, don't cry. In fact, it's not that big of a deal." Song Wenbin said, "After all, we are just the ones doing the execution. It's not our turn to shoulder the responsibility. At most, we just won't be able to film this show in the future."
"But I like this show..." Sutina choked up and said.
Song Wenbin was stunned for a moment, shrugged and said, "Maybe this is life."
"Don't you like this show?" Sutina asked crying.
"Me?" Song Wenbin shook his head.
Like it or don't like it, it doesn't matter. It cannot be used as food or water. In the face of the cold reality and the ruthless sea, personal emotions seem meaningless. If the growth from childhood to adulthood shows anything, it is that his enthusiasm was repeatedly rubbed in the face of reality until it was exhausted.
Looking at Song Wenbin's appearance, Huo Yu shook her head imperceptibly. She comforted her softly: "Su Tina, do you want to dive?"
"What?"
"I mean, have you ever been in the water in your life?" Huo Yu asked with a smile.
"I...I can't swim, I'm a landlubber." Sutina said with sobs.
Huo Yu sighed slightly and said: "It's not easy for us to come to Indonesia once. We took a luxury yacht and worked on underwater equipment, but it turned out to be so tight. Let me tell you, we may never come to Indonesia for the third time in this life. This is my second time in Indonesia. If I don’t find anything and don’t have a good time, wouldn’t it be a big loss?”
Sutina wiped her tears and muttered: "Smacking your tongue, why is this the last time?"
"If we don't find the program broadcast, the Indonesian government will ban us from coming to this place again. Maybe South Korea will be the same." Song Wenbin said calmly.
Song Wenbin's words made Su Tina feel sad. Indeed, such a trip is indeed a one-way ticket, the kind that does not bring you back.
Huo Yu touched Su Tina's back and said, "Hey, Su Tina. Let me tell you, let's do it once anyway. You can go into the water with us tomorrow and have fun. We'll talk about it later. What do you say?"
Su Tina looked at Song Wenbin.
Song Wenbin nodded, "Let's go and have some fun. Just treat it as a vacation and don't think about anything else."
Sutina temporarily forgot about reality and burst into laughter.
"I...I'm actually very stupid..." she said in a low voice: "Nerds...being underwater will only hold you back..."
…
…
The next day, Song Wenbin did not get up early. He stayed on the yacht comfortably until noon. After eating an Indonesian-style breakfast, he slowly came to the waterfront platform of the yacht with an ice cream in his mouth.
Here, Sutina, who was fully armed and wearing a diving suit, was holding a swimming ring. Under Huo Yu's persuasion, she carefully waded into the water. As soon as her toes touched a little water, she ran back to the platform with a groan and stared at the water with her big eyes, like a silly dog that had never seen water.
Huo Yu didn't wear a diving suit, so she wore a pair of footwear and a mask, soaked in the sea and said loudly: "Come down!"
"Will there be sharks?" Sutina said loudly in fear.
"What's wrong with the shark? No one will bite you while I'm here!" Huo Yu said loudly.
Sutina was still hesitant, she said: "Sharks are not humans...and it would be very troublesome to be stung by a jellyfish... Even if there are no jellyfish, being bitten by a sea snake is still very dangerous..."
Song Wenbin looked really cowardly when he saw that Su Tina was wearing a diving suit and wearing a pink swim ring and was still moaning and groaning on the hydrophilic platform. He walked up behind Su Tina with a popsicle in his mouth and pointed it directly at her back. Just one push.
"ah!!!"
Accompanied by a scream.
Sutina was caught off guard and fell into the sea with a plop.
"Save me!! Huo Yu!! Save me!!" She screamed as she frantically tossed in the swimming circle.
Huo Yu hurriedly swam to her side and held her butt. Sutina hugged Huo Yu's shoulders and said in horror: "I can't fight to the end, I can't fight to the end!!"
"This is the sea. It's a hell if we can fight to the end." Huo Yu said angrily and funny: "Relax, you won't die!"
After struggling wildly, Su Tina finally regained her breath. She hugged Huo Yu in a panic, looked at Song Wenbin who was eating ice cream on the boat, and poured water on him hard: "Asshole!! Asshole!! You bully people!!"
Song Wenbin didn't hide either. He stood on the cockpit and said to Huo Yu, "You should remove her swimming ring. The diving we promised will be the same as swimming."
"No!!" Sutina stopped hitting the water. She hugged the swimming ring like a dying person and said with great fear: "No, no, no, no!!"
Huo Yu had no choice but to coax and persuade her.
Seeing Su Tina and Huo Yu splashing in the water, Song Wenbin couldn't help but think of the past.
He still remembers that he used to have bad grades in junior high school and play like crazy after the high school entrance examination, because he knew that he would not be able to play after the results came out, and his parents would definitely look down upon him. Unexpectedly, ten years later, the reality is no different.
It’s just that the things I play are more advanced.
He looked at the program team aside. The program team had all brought diving equipment and filming equipment at this moment. Although they are still taking photos conscientiously. However, there were not many happy expressions on their faces. After so many consecutive days of failure, the photographers knew that maybe this was the last day of shooting.
When Song Wenbin saw the director pointing the camera at him, he asked, "Why don't you go down and have fun? I remember you also learned to dive, right?"
The director shook his head: "My pleasure is only in shooting, you just have to have fun."
Song Wenbin looked at this middle-aged man who had been with him for five or six months, and suddenly felt a little envious of him. If we want to say who enjoyed this trip the most, it might be this middle-aged man. Whether it's a failure or a success, it's just a shot and the ball doesn't matter.
Fuck….
Song Wenbin took off his coat, threw away the ice cream stick, and jumped into the sea.
Since Song Wenbin didn't intend to go very deep this time, nor did he intend to work desperately, he didn't bring any equipment at all.
Fortunately, he has become an experienced driver after being in the water for so many consecutive days. Without those heavy equipment, he dances in the water like a fish, unusually light.
Seeing Song Wenbin humping underwater while wearing swimming trunks, Su Tina couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Huo Yu looked at her eyes and said, "It's okay, just put down the swimming ring. With us, you can't sink."
"No...I'm afraid..." Sutina said worriedly.
"What are you afraid of? Just bite on the respirator. The coral reefs down here are very beautiful." Huo Yu coaxed her.
"What if I sink..."
"You think the sea water has no buoyancy, you idiot! It's not that easy to go down!" Huo Yu said frantically.
Even though she said this, Sutina was still so scared that she lay on the hydrophilic platform and did not dare to let go.
At this time, Song Wenbin emerged from the sea and reached out to the photographer Wei Ning. Wei Ning understood and threw two footwear and a mask to him. Sutina still glared at Song Wenbin angrily, resenting his previous push. .

"What should I say, on the last day, it's better to swim or not to swim. If you don't swim, go back to Yining and work as a history teacher." Song Wenbin said wearing a mask.
"Crow's Mouth!!" Sutina was inexplicably angry.
"I'm very excited. There are a lot of fish under the water. Let's go and see him."
As soon as she was angry, Su Tina was amused by Song Wenbin's imitating the accent of a Japanese woman. She hesitated, then grabbed Song Wenbin's arm and carefully took off the swimming ring.
Huo Yu helped her put on the respirator and nodded to her.
Sutina trembled and made an OK gesture. Then Song Wenbin and Huo Yu pulled hard. Sutina was pulled by two colleagues and fell into the sea with a splash.
Several other photographers also jumped into the water to take pictures.
After actually reaching the water, Sutina stopped struggling. She tensed her body and hugged Huo Yu's arm tightly, for fear of being drowned.
After swimming for a while, Song Wenbin let go of Sutina's arm and let Huo Yu take her to swim slowly.
However, Su Tina, who had just let go and was trying to adapt to the sea, suddenly struggled wildly and beat Song Wenbin's arm hard. The photographers on the side also noticed something, and suddenly they all turned their cameras and pointed them in one direction.
Song Wenbin looked along the camera and suddenly suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest, his whole body stiffened on the bottom of the sea.
In the dark deep sea, below them, there was something huge. It slowly swayed its tail and paddled past slowly and silently. It was as big as a bus, or even bigger, and it was covered with blood all over its body. Dotted patterns.
It's a whale shark.
