shore.

Zhang Su and Feng Yingying had already finished relieving their stress and came up.

"Zhang Su, do you think tide Yan will be alright?" Feng Yingying asked anxiously. Before Zhang Su could answer, she quickly added to herself, "tide Yan will definitely be fine. Maybe Brother Cat is bringing her up here right now."

Zhang Su ignored her mutterings and stared intently at the water, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh without him noticing.

He really wanted to go down and find Jiang Xiyan, but reason prevailed over impulse.

If even Old Cat can't find Jiang Xiyan, he probably won't be able to either if he goes down; going down would only increase the difficulty.

"Zhang Su, say something!" Feng Yingying was completely at a loss, and Zhang Su was her pillar of support at this moment.

"Don't you cave dive often too?"

Faced with Feng Yingying's question, Zhang Su's jaw twitched: "Alright, all we can do now is wait here. I believe Old Cat will definitely bring Xiyan back safely."

Feng Yingying pursed her lips: "How about we call the police?"

Zhang Su shook his head: "It's no use."

"Underwater cave rescue is different from land rescue, and Lao Mao is the top underwater rescuer. If even Lao Mao can't do it, calling more people won't help," Zhang Su replied, shaking his head, his gaze never leaving the water.

While the two waited anxiously.

The old cat's underwater search yielded nothing.

He glanced at the diving computer and calculated the amount of gas Jiang Xiyan had left.

According to his deduction, Jiang Xiyan's energy was almost completely depleted at this point.

This made him feel very bad.

After spending more than twenty days together, he had a very good impression of this young girl.

She's beautiful and has a great personality; she calls him "Cat Brother" all the time.

Watching Jiang Xiyan, who was in the prime of her life, pass away so tragically, Old Cat felt extremely sad and pained.

Giving up like that wasn't his style; he continued his search.

Time passed slowly, and even though the old cat was unwilling to give up, it could only swim back in the end.

The two gas cylinders that Jiang Xiyan was carrying had already run out of gas, no matter how much she tried to reduce her breathing rate.

The person couldn't be saved... The only thing we can do is retrieve the body.

The old cat returned the way it came and arrived at the place where it could relieve stress.

At that moment, he saw another figure in the decompression area.

A sudden surge of joy filled his heart. Could it be Jiang Xiyan?

But upon closer inspection, I noticed disappointment in his eyes.

Waiting on the shore was so agonizing that Zhang Su couldn't help but get back down and wait at the spot where the decompression bottle was kept.

When he saw a figure swimming towards him, his heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose, but he still held a sliver of hope.

What if this person is Xu An?

What if the old cat is bringing Jiang Xiyan back?

But when I got closer and realized it was an old cat, all my hope and expectation were instantly crushed by despair.

Old Cat, where are they? Where is Jiang Xiyan?!

Zhang Su became anxious.

The old cat shook its head; the person hadn't been found.

A bolt from the blue struck Zhang Su: the fact that they hadn't found anyone in the underwater cave after so long meant nothing more.

Zhang Su felt utterly hopeless; it was as if a giant hand had clenched his heart, making it difficult to even breathe.

After de-stressing.

When Lao Mao and Zhang Su got back ashore.

Feng Yingying, who had been waiting on the shore, was struck by a bolt from the blue when she finally saw Zhang Su and Lao Mao. She staggered and almost lost her balance.

She couldn't believe it. "Brother Cat, where's Xiyan? Brother Cat, is Xiyan still downstairs relieving stress?"

Her eyes were glistening with tears, and her face was pleading, hoping to hear the answer she wanted.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as she wished.

The old cat wiped the water from its face and gently shook its head: "I'm sorry, I couldn't find her."

boom!

Feng Yingying's mind went blank for a moment, her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

"How could this be? How could this be? How could Xiyan..."

"Brother Cat, you must be joking with me, right? Actually, Xiyan is downstairs relieving stress. You're just teasing me." She forced a smile, biting her lip, her eyes full of pleading.

The old cat shook his head, feeling so unwell that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"Boom!"

The sky, which had been clear and sunny just moments before, was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and a loud clap of thunder rang out.

In the blink of an eye, a torrential downpour began.

At that moment, the old cat suddenly noticed that one person was missing!

"Where is Xu An?" he asked hurriedly.

This question startled Zhang Su and Feng Yingying.

Zhang Su's eyes widened: "He's still down there..."

Before he could finish speaking, Old Cat suddenly raised his voice, "What?!"

"When you went back to look for him, Xu An said he was looking for him too, so you went with him," Zhang Su replied.

"Nonsense!" the old cat roared.

"This is utter nonsense! Didn't I tell you to come up here after you've relieved some stress?!"

Why didn't you stop him?

He was already devastated by the news of Jiang Xiyan's death, and now there's another one to go!

Old Cat was very familiar with most of the Peach Blossom Skylight area, and he had set up guide ropes for many of these places.

He did not encounter Xu An while searching for Jiang Xiyan.

What does this tell us?

This suggests that Xu An may have mistakenly entered a side cave and gotten lost!

There are many side openings under the Peach Blossom Jellyfish Skylight. Even experienced old cats always approach it with awe and caution. How could Xu An, a novice, dare to go down alone to find someone!

Zhang Su quickly added, "When Xu An left, he replaced the gas cylinders with two new ones."

Hearing this, the old cat's expression softened considerably.

There were two brand new gas cylinders, and judging from the timeline, there should be at least one left now.

Large raindrops poured down relentlessly, as if a hole had been punched in the sky, and everything was pouring down.

Old Cat didn't hesitate and immediately put on his gear: "Call the police right away, I'll go down and find Xu An."

After saying that, the old cat dragged its tired body back into the water.

The sudden downpour caused tourists to scatter and flee.

Zhang Su and Feng Yingying quickly ran to the car and, as Lao Mao instructed, picked up their phones to call the police.

The clear, emerald-green peach blossom jellyfish skylight quickly became murky under the torrential downpour.

Instead of being kind, the weather is making things worse.

underwater.

The torrential rain stirred up the water, making it murky and reducing visibility to extremely low levels.

The already exhausted old cat dared not venture out in such low visibility conditions.

His extensive experience triggered an alarm in his brain, and he ultimately had no choice but to abandon his dive and choose to surface.

If he forces himself to go down, he is very likely to end up underwater as well.

As an experienced cave diver, he knew very well which actions would lead him to his death.

"puff."

He resurfaced and rose to the surface.

They moved closer to the shore.

Zhang Su and his companion, who were anxiously waiting on the shore, quickly went forward to help him up.

"The rain is too heavy, the water is muddy, and you can't see anything at all."

Did you two call the police?

Zhang Su nodded: "The police have already been notified."
