Chapter 269 Original Sin 78
At this moment, Yun Shuangshuang had this feeling, just like swimming, she instantly grasped the diving trick that the coach taught her countless times in the past, but she never got the hang of it.
The water was turbid and visibility was low, and it was full of all sorts of things. Yun Shuangshuang stepped on the bottom of the water, surrounded by bicycles, cars, electric bikes, and shops on both sides, things that could be seen in the city on normal days.
Yun Shuangshuang didn’t have time to notice what was different underwater from the city on a normal day. She and Zhang Bing, who came down first, were searching for the people who had fallen earlier, as told by the rescued person, until they almost ran out of breath and surfaced to breathe, then continued diving.
Yun Shuangshuang and Zhang Bing alternately ascended for breath and then dived down. After about seven or eight times, the two finally found two people tightly entwined with each other in a corner beside a shop. Their entire bodies stiffened, not moving at all as they swayed with the current.
These were two girls, their long hair floating in the water like seaweed, sometimes separating, sometimes intertwining. The faces of the two girls were faintly visible amidst the enveloping hair, with wide, terrified eyes and faces full of despair!
The reason why these two girls couldn’t float to the surface was a long packing plastic rope. Underwater, this plastic rope somehow entangled their feet with an electric bike.
Yun Shuangshuang and Zhang Bing, ignoring everything else, hurriedly untied the plastic rope from the girls’ feet, then each took one girl up to the surface quickly.
With a "puff," four heads emerged from the water. Yun Shuangshuang and Zhang Bing gasped for several breaths. Continuous diving was very exhausting, especially the last dive which took a particularly long time. Yun Shuangshuang even felt like the air in her lungs was being squeezed out! Each breath came with a stabbing pain!
Once they managed to take a breath, they hurriedly pushed the people they brought onto the bamboo raft. Luckily, the bamboo rafts Yun Shuangshuang chose were quite large. The villagers who made the rafts did so with the thought that the bigger the raft, the more they could carry. At this moment, it benefited Yun Shuangshuang and Zhang Bing, as there was still room for a row of people when rescuing.
After placing the two girls on the raft, Yun Shuangshuang and Zhang Bing began performing first aid on them. Zhang Bing had been specifically trained in first aid for drowning victims, so his actions were skillful.
