Chapter 563 - 491: A Distress Call from the Far East, Leopard Mother: I Don’t Want to Lose My Children (2)
After walking for more than ten minutes, they approached a small reef island.
Most of the time, this island is underwater, with only parts of the reef exposed during low tide.
"Brother Ying, there seems to be someone over there!"
Dao Meihua also shone her light around and keenly spotted a bit of orange-red and a reflective strip.
"Oh my god, could it be the missing stranded person?"
Xiao Fang got excited too, quickly speeding towards it, later spotting a super large sea turtle on the reef with a human body, covered by a life jacket, lying on its back, legs submerged in the water.
"How do we get closer?"
Xiao Fang had average skills, and Chen Ying had never driven a boat before. In the end, they had Dao Meihua hold the boat steady while they put on life jackets and swimming rings and jumped into the water to swim over and check the situation.
Before diving in, they had already notified the rescue team, estimating that a rescue boat would arrive in a few minutes.
Chen Ying struggled to swim a few meters, then felt lighter as he was gently carried by the guiding sea turtle. However, Xiao Fang wasn’t as lucky and had to swim over by himself.
After approaching the reef island, they discovered that the large sea turtle carrying the stranded person was on a sloping reef, and while there were rocks under the water around it, they were too deep to stand on.
It was clear that the turtle had tried hard to wedge itself against the rock, worried that the person on its back might fall into the water.
