The boat capsized?
Everyone looked over.
A large wave rolled away, and the sea returned to calm. Only a few ridiculous plastic boats floated upside down on the surface. The guests who had been rowing and chasing each other during the recording of the program had all disappeared.
Fortunately, they were still wearing life vests, and soon several artists who could swim emerged from the water.
The crew members nearby quickly went over to pull the person away.
To ensure the sea scenes were clean and beautiful, the crew only sent two speedboats. Each speedboat had a cameraman, a director, a speedboat driver, and two lifeguards. They were on either side of the track, responsible for filming the "battle" between the two teams. Now that this situation has occurred, the lifeguards on the boats jumped into the water first and helped push several celebrity guests onto the boat.
But soon, someone noticed that something was wrong.
"There are only six people, there are two more! Has anyone seen them?"
Someone shouted.
Not only were the production crew looking around, but Xiao He and his group were also observing.
Their driver stopped the boat and said to Liu Rulan, "Excuse me, please wait a moment. Let's check where everyone is and make sure they are safe."
The propeller of a speedboat generates extremely strong suction and impact when it spins, which is very dangerous for people who fall into the water, especially if they are below the oncoming waves. The waves could easily sweep them up to their vicinity. So what they need to do at this time is to stop the propeller as soon as possible.
Liu Rulan immediately nodded in understanding: "We understand."
Just then, Xiao Chen suddenly saw something and exclaimed, "Isn't there someone over there?"
Everyone immediately looked in the direction Xiao Chen was pointing, and then they saw something that looked like it was floating in the distance—that was the production crew's life jacket!
"Hold on tight, I'll drive over and take a look."
The driver said, observed the surrounding sea, and then carefully steered the boat closer to that direction.
I don't know what's wrong with today. The weather was already a bit cloudy, but suddenly the wind picked up again, and even the white clouds were tinged with gray.
This is the uncertainty on the sea, especially since this region has a tropical monsoon climate with significant atmospheric convection, often resulting in short-lived and immediate weather changes. No one expected that they would encounter such a situation this time.
Seeing the speedboat rocking more and more, Xiao Chen panicked and asked in a low voice, "No, won't it capsize? I can't swim either."
Xiao He, who was a non-swimmer, comforted him: "It's okay, the speedboat is much better quality than their plastic boats, we are safe now."
The driver headed in that direction and soon approached the location Xiao Chen had mentioned.
Sure enough, there was a female celebrity floating there.
Her face still showed panic, but when she saw the boat approaching, a hint of excitement appeared in her eyes. However, as the boat got closer, she drifted further away with the waves, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
"Can't we get any closer?" Liu Rulan asked the driver anxiously.
However, due to the large number of people setting sail today, this driver was brought in temporarily. Although he was qualified to drive, his skills were not very good, and he was not a professional rescuer. Seeing the situation, he was sweating profusely and shouted, "No, the waves are too big, I'm afraid I'll hit her."
Liu Rulan frowned.
Xiao He stood up and, in accordance with the driver's direction, threw the lifebuoy with the rope attached to it over.
Unfortunately, the female celebrity in the sea kept moving. After the lifebuoy landed on the surface of the water, she did try to struggle to swim over and grab it, but she failed. It's clear that she can't swim.
Xiao «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» He and Xiao Chen quickly pulled back the swimming ring and threw it again, but still failed.
The driver stopped too far away, and the sea breeze and waves made their aim very poor. The bumpy sea made him feel dizzy for the first time. Xiao He sat back in his seat, covered his head, and felt like he was going to throw up on the boat.
The driver knew it was his poor driving skills, so he first used the walkie-talkie to explain the general situation to the people on the shore, then turned off the engine and said to Xiao He and the other two, "There's no other way. Hold on tight, I'm going down to rescue her. Don't touch the instruments."
He then jumped off the boat, grabbed a swimming ring, and swam toward the female celebrity.
Just after the driver got out, Xiao Chen said in a trembling voice, "I... I think I saw someone again."
Xiao He: ?
Wait, what's wrong with Xiao Chen's eyesight? MVP of the game?
He and Liu Rulan turned their heads to look in the other direction that Xiao Chen pointed out.
Sure enough, on the undulating sea surface, a black dot rose and fell in the water.
And he looks even worse off than the female celebrities here, because his life jacket is missing.
Liu Rulan narrowed her eyes and recognized the other person: "I know this person, it should be Xu Yin."
Xiao He immediately recalled the news he had overheard in the car: "Xu Yin? Yin Yin? Oh no, he can't swim!"
"Ah, he sank!"
Xiao Chen immediately shouted nervously.
Xiao He turned around, wanting to call for help from the production crew.
But when I turned around, I was shocked to see how far they had drifted.
Xiao Chen stood on the speedboat, waving frantically at the production crew's boat, but it was no use. They were already in complete chaos, and no one noticed their plea for help.
Although the driver had notified the shore of the situation, at such a distance, by the time the rescue boat arrived, the people here would already be on the seabed, blowing bubbles with the fish.
Xiao He sighed, speechless. "I truly admire them."
There was no organization, no plan, and no security.
It's hard to imagine that they would see this situation in such a large production team.
Nobody would believe this if I told them!
After a moment's thought, Liu Rulan took off her shoes and socks and stood up.
Xiao He grabbed her arm: "What are you doing?"
"Help!"
Liu Rulan turned to look at Xiao He: "Right now, I'm the only one on the boat who can swim. That guy can't swim, so he won't last long. I'll take a swimming ring and go help him for a while. Once the captain gets on the boat, you can come and pick us up. Otherwise, he'll definitely be in danger."
Xiao He laughed in exasperation: "The sea is so rough, how do you think you can swim across? You're like the Calabash Brothers trying to save their grandfather!"
As we all know, swimming in calm water and swimming in waves are two completely different things.
Otherwise, why do so many people still drown at the beach every year? Is it really because they can't swim? No, as the saying goes, those who drown are the ones who can swim.
Xiao He couldn't deny that the other party really needed help, but he couldn't possibly agree to his manager's "naive" idea of saving someone at this time.
"Can......"
"No buts!"
Xiao He strode over and sat directly in the driver's seat.
"System, copy my driving skills." Xiao He stated his long-considered goal for using the skill copying capsule: "Proficiency in driving all types of vehicles!"
【Please name a real-world criminal target that needs to be replicated.】
Xiao He: ?
Oh no, how could I have forgotten about this?
