150: Chapter 150 The Underwater Cliff!

A moment later, dozens of helicopters soared into the sky, soon gradually disappearing from the Naval Base.

...

Qin Mo and the others had been swimming for nearly two hours by sheer force of will.

By now, everyone was exhausted; if not for the bone-chilling seawater constantly washing over them...

...they likely would have fainted from fatigue already.

"Ah! Gurgle..."

Suddenly, a panicked cry rang out, and everyone immediately looked toward the sound.

They found a New Recruit slowly sinking.

"Zhang Qiang!"

A New Recruit shouted and prepared to swim toward his position.

"Don't move!"

At that moment, Qin Mo let out a roar.

The New Recruit immediately stopped, while the others around them looked at Qin Mo with confusion.

At a time like this, when the New Recruit was clearly drowning, wasn't Qin Mo's refusal to let them save him equivalent to murder?

"What are you doing? Why won't you let me save my brother!"

The New Recruit stared directly at Qin Mo with a face full of rage.

Qin Mo looked at the New Recruit expressionlessly and said in a low voice, "Take a close look at where your brother is!"

The New Recruit froze upon hearing this, then instinctively looked toward Zhang Qiang's position; the others also looked over in confusion.

Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

"Un... Undersea Cliff!"

After seeing where Wang Qiang was drowning, a New Recruit cried out in terror.

"What?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present panicked.

Undersea Undercurrents and Undersea Cliffs were nightmares for countless ships, let alone for them with their bare hands; anyone who went in would vanish.

"This... what do we do now? How can there be an Undersea Cliff here!"

The New Recruit pointed at Zhang Qiang's position with a face full of terror.

The seawater here was no longer blue but pitch black like ink. From a distance, it looked like a giant abyssal maw ready to swallow everything in the world, sending shivers down one's spine.

"W-what should we do?"

Zheng Xiaohu's voice trembled because he was so frightened.

No one answered his question. Everyone swam rapidly in the opposite direction, wanting to get away from the Undersea Cliff.

After all, survival is everyone's instinct.

Only Qin Mo and a few others floated there expressionlessly. About three meters ahead was the endless Undersea Cliff.

They could all feel that if they hadn't kept swimming backward, they would have been sucked into the Undersea Cliff within moments.

"Mo... Brother Mo, what should we do now? How are we going to save him?"

Beside Qin Mo, Shi Hao pointed at the frantically struggling Zhang Qiang and asked with a face full of terror.

Qin Mo remained silent with a grim expression, seemingly trying to think of a solution.

...

Meanwhile, the people at the Naval Base command center were also in a state of chaos.

"What on earth is going on? Didn't we scout this area? How can there be an Undersea Cliff?"

"This..."

Facing the Brigade Commander's questioning, everyone present stammered, unable to say a word.

Clearly, no one present had expected this accident.

"Brigade Commander, our soldiers have passed through this area hundreds or thousands of times, and we truly never found an Undersea Cliff!"

A Commander said bitterly. He was the captain for this operation; if the New Recruit died because of the Undersea Cliff, he would definitely bear the greatest responsibility.

The Brigade Commander looked at him coldly upon hearing this.

"Are you saying I'm blind? Are the Satellite photos fake? Is the Undersea Cliff, estimated to be at least a thousand zhang deep, fake?"

"This..."

The Commander was immediately rendered speechless by the Brigade Commander's rebuke.

An old soldier lowered his head in thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Brigade Commander, could it have been formed by the typhoon and heavy rain triggered by the undersea earthquake a few days ago? I looked at previous Satellite photos, and there really was no Undersea Cliff."

"It looks more like it was formed suddenly."

"Such a thing happened?"

As soon as he said this, there was an uproar among those present.

The Brigade Commander also furrowed his brows deeply.

"Forget it, we'll investigate this later. The priority now is to have the people closest to them rush to the rescue!"

"Commander, call Tiger immediately and tell them Qin Mo and the others are in big trouble. Have him rush over to rescue them!"

"Yes, Brigade Commander!"

The Commander saluted and then dialed the Satellite Phone.

...

"Qin Mo, think of something quickly! He's not going to make it!"

Wang Hao pointed at Wang Qiang, whose struggling was growing weaker, and spoke with great anxiety.

"Sigh~"

Beside them, Ye sighed and then said slowly, "The Undersea Cliff itself is one thing, but the most terrifying part is the bone-chilling seawater. If an ordinary person swims in, their muscles will cramp up within moments, and there's no way they can swim out on their own."

"Because the water is so cold, once someone goes in, there's basically no chance of survival!"

"So saving him now is as difficult as climbing to heaven."

At this point, Ye shook his head helplessly.

"Is there really no way to save my brother? He's my own flesh and blood!"

Seeing Ye deliver a death sentence for his brother, the New Recruit became frantic. If Zheng Xiaohu hadn't been holding him back firmly, he probably wouldn't have been able to stop himself from rushing to save his brother.

However, whether he would be saving his brother or just going to his death was another matter...

"No! There's still a way!"

While everyone was in a state of extreme anxiety, Qin Mo interrupted them and said with a serious expression.

"What did you say? You really have a way to save my brother?"

The New Recruit said with utter disbelief. You had to realize this was an Undersea Cliff! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was a certain death trap!

Qin Mo gave a mysterious smile.

"The only terrifying thing about the Undersea Cliff is the bone-chilling water. We just need to grab him before muscle spasms set in, and then have the others pull both of us up."

"This... this is indeed a good idea!"

Wang Hao suddenly realized.

"It's a good idea, but Brother Mo... we don't have a rope! There's nothing but seawater here, nothing to pull with!"

"Use clothes!"

Ye, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke up.

Qin Mo showed a satisfied smile.

"Exactly! Use clothes!"

Saying so, Qin Mo turned to the crowd and shouted, "Everyone! Take off all your shirts! Then twist them together to form a rope!"

"What's this for? Why twist them into a rope?"

Someone asked in confusion.

"Stop talking nonsense! Do as I say. Whether we can save Wang Qiang depends on this!"

Hearing that it was to save a life, everyone immediately sprang into action.

With everyone working together...

...before long, a rope about ten meters long appeared in Qin Mo's hands.

Then, Qin Mo tied one end of the rope around his waist and handed the other end to the group.

"Listen up! Once I grab Zhang Qiang, pull the rope with all your might. Whether we can save him depends on this one shot!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Qin Mo with admiration.

Beside him, Wang Qiang's brother was moved to tears.

"Brother Mo! Thank you! I thank you on behalf of my brother! You must return safely!"

Qin Mo nodded.

"Don't worry! You're with me, and I have an obligation to save all of you!"

With that, Qin Mo cautiously swam toward the Undersea Cliff.
