Qiao Xiguan felt several times that she was about to suffocate, but she also forced herself to endure it several times.
The helicopter kept circling above, and Gu Zichen quietly led Qiao Xiguan away from the direction of the raft.
It was uncertain whether they were friend or foe.
Zichen dared not expose himself easily at sea level.
Suddenly, a faintly familiar voice reached his ears, sounding exceptionally quiet under the roar of the helicopter's engine.
It was Wa Da.
Qiao Xiguan signaled with her eyes.
Zichen seemed to have heard it too.
He held Qiao Xiguan, slowly revealing themselves above the sea level.
2 meters above sea level, a helicopter kept circling around them.
As if suddenly noticing their presence, the helicopter quickly dropped down a rope ladder right in front of them.
Zichen first helped Qiao Xiguan to climb up.
Then he followed up the ladder himself.
The helicopter slowly ascended, going higher and higher.
