48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng solved the monster of the half-man fish frog with a knife, then checked his diving gear, especially the gas cylinder, to make sure it wasn't damaged during the rollover and impact, which made a gesture to Nellie beside him and asked her if anything was wrong.

Nellie is so confused right now, she just can't ask the exit under the water.

But it feels good to meet your companion again, especially at a time like this, if it wasn't for Zhang Heng's timely appearance, Nellie almost thought she would be buried in this underwater tunnel, or abducted by these ugly, horrible monsters like the bead gatherers on the wall.

But obviously this is not the time to be old and grateful, Nellie has already consumed a lot of compressed air before breaking the rock wall, and the battle just now should not be too expensive, the two are still trapped in the tunnel, if you can't get back to the sea before the air in the cylinder is exhausted, you can only sleep here for a long time, accompanied by these horrible walls.

Nellie thought Zhang Heng would be a gentleman next, grabbing the road in front of her, but didn't expect the latter to just make a gesture to let her go first, and seemed to still intend to hide behind her.

That explains why Zhang Hengming followed her before but refused to show up. Zhang Hengming apparently used her as bait.

However, Nellie was not stupid, and soon realized why Zhang Heng was doing this. She had seen that half-man frog's monster move faster than the Olympic champion. If he hadn't snuck up on it earlier, Zhang Heng would have hurt the monster and couldn't stop him from escaping, let alone killing him.

But knowing that doesn't lessen Nellie's fear.

After all these years of diving, she also encountered a lot of strange underwater creatures, but it was also the first time she saw a real monster under the sea, a human body, but it also had some fish characteristics, especially the smudging smile on the other side's face, it would make people feel chilly when they think back.

What she saw and heard on this dive has completely subverted her common sense and perception.

Nellie chose to dive, not only because she was influenced by her father, but also because she herself was passionate about diving and the underwater world, where there were many unknown beauties waiting for divers to discover that in Nellie's view every dive was a sweet encounter.

But this was before I met this half-man half-fish frog monster.

Now she sees this horror of tranquillity, and when she thinks of this monster living beneath the sea, she is not even sure if she has the courage to approach the sea again.

Of course that's what happened after she left here, and now she needs to keep moving forward and find a way to live.

Fortunately, realizing that Zhang Heng was behind her, would help her when she was in crisis, which gave her a little comfort.

Especially the calm expression on the latter's face, which gave Nelly a lot of courage.

Nellie doesn't know how Zhang Heng and the monster twisted each other, and she won't be scared at all. Especially considering Zhang Heng's near-zero diving experience, people usually estimate that her legs will be soft at this time. Running without twisting her head is already good, let alone standing up.

Zhang Henggang bladed the monster directly and didn't even blink his eyes.

Does that make Nellie curious about Zhang Heng's identity, soldier, cop? Or is it simply a frogman who has underground training, but Zhang Heng doesn't seem to have a lot of military temperament. In fact, Nellie now recalls, she doesn't even know what temperament Zhang Heng has. He is like a drop of water and can merge into the sea anytime, anywhere.

In addition, Nellie also wanted to apologize for her previous misunderstanding of Zhang Heng. At that time, she was eager to find Han Lu, and felt that Zhang Heng prevented her from only looking at her selfish behavior, but now it seemed that the other party was simply reminding her of the dangers that might exist. Nellie regretted not being able to heed Zhang Heng's advice at the time, otherwise she would not put herself in danger.

Nellie was thinking so much, swimming forward.

Given the amount of gas left in the cylinder, she's not too fast, but she's definitely not slow, except the depth statistics on the dive computers are still increasing, and the pressure in Nellie's mind is increasing.

Fortunately, when she reached about 45 metres, it was obvious that the tunnel was rising again, which meant that they were finally not on their way to the bottom of the sea.

Nellie knew she couldn't turn back, and even if that crack opened miraculously, she probably couldn't get back to the surface before the gas in the cylinder was depleted, so now she can only gamble that the other side of the tunnel has a way back to the surface.

Compared to Nellie, Zhang Heng was much calmer behind her.

As you can see from the wall sculptures, the creatures of these half-man half-fish frogs will from time to time capture some ordinary people and the people they have taken away will not be able to stay underwater for as long as they do, so they will certainly have a secret place where ordinary people can live.

At the same time, since these things are coming towards him, it is obvious that Han Lu was taken away to threaten him, and only Han Lu, who is alive, has the value to threaten him. This is also why Zhang Heng judged that the end of Yongdao is not a dead end.

The facts also prove his presumption.

Nellie suddenly found herself in a magnificent underwater palace as the red waters faded as they swimmed away.

Unlike the ruins outside, which seem to be rather than relics, this palace was built manually at first glance.

The ancient stone columns supported the dome of the palace, and the stone columns were so big that it took at least three to four people to hold each one together, at least twenty meters high, that there were dozens of stone columns like this.

On the other hand, the top of the palace was filled with a giant stone engraving, but unlike the common and easy to understand stone engraving outside, this stone engraving was obscure and difficult to understand, it looked like some sort of star chart in the sky, or it was just some unknown graffiti, the frenzied line was like trying to break through the stone wall, Nellie just stared for a moment and felt a little dizzy and had to take her eyes back quickly.

Then her eyes shifted to the two thrones behind the palace.

They are made of some kind of gold metal that has been sparkling for thousands of years and is as incredible as stone columns, obviously unprepared for mankind, and Nellie remembers the heads of those half-man half-fish frog monsters she saw on the wall carvings before.

These two thrones are for them.
