After Zhou Xuan collapsed, a few drops of blood splattered from his mouth. The metallic taste assaulted his brain, and he suddenly realized: This is blood!
Because it was nighttime, the blood didn't appear red; it looked more like black.
Ah Chang shouted, "Xiao Zhou, lie down and move Brother Hong to the back. Don't look up. I'll distract him..."
Zhou Xuan didn't know what had happened, but bullets were flying everywhere on the yacht, sparks flying everywhere. One of Hong Ge's men had just stuck his head out of the yacht when he was shot and fell into the sea.
Zhou Xuan felt a rush of blood to his head. This scene was just like in the movies, how could it happen to him? He glanced at Wei Haihong again, who was motionless and didn't utter a sound. He quickly grabbed Wei Haihong's arm and climbed forcefully towards the back of the yacht. There were still two people in the yacht cabin, who were shot and couldn't get out at all.
Achang tumbled and scrambled in front of the yacht, but seemed to have been shot as well, slowing his movements.
Zhou Xuan struggled to drag Wei Haihong to the back of the yacht. Before he could catch his breath, the yacht suddenly exploded with a loud bang. The cabin exploded, and Zhou Xuan was momentarily deafened. He was thrown into the air by the force of the explosion and then crashed violently into the sea.
The icy seawater jolted Zhou Xuan awake. Although his head was still buzzing, he remembered Brother Hong and quickly dived into the water to search for him.
Wei Haihong was lying next to Zhou Xuan, and they fell into the sea at the same point. As soon as Zhou Xuan dived into the water, he saw Wei Haihong's dark figure sinking. He immediately dived under him, reached out and lifted him up, and pressed his other hand against the wound on Wei Haihong's chest to stop the bleeding.
Hong seemed completely oblivious. Zhou Xuan carefully brought his head to the surface and hid it under the yacht before secretly taking a look at the situation.
It seems there's a fishing boat about 70 or 80 meters to the south, or at least it looks like one. Judging from the sparks that occasionally flash from the boat, that's where the shooting is taking place.
At this moment, there was almost no sound on the yacht. No one knew how Achang was doing. The two people in the cabin were probably killed by the explosion. Zhou Xuan could still feel the power of the explosion. Having never experienced anything like this before, he felt that death was so close, and a sense of fear rose from the bottom of his heart!
The main reason was the surprise attack, and also because none of Brother Hong's men had guns, so they were being used as cannon fodder. What else could be said?
The fishing boat sputtered closer and closer. When it got there, Zhou Xuan's heart felt like it was going to jump out of his chest. He tried to hold his breath and kept Hong Ge's mouth and nose above the water at the bottom of the boat. He turned to the side and left only his left ear on the water to eavesdrop.
The yacht sank and moved slightly, as if two or three people had jumped aboard. A deep male voice said, "Check it out, and take another look at the sea!"
Then the sound of gunfire echoed across the water. After a moment, the voice said again, "Come on, take the money bag!"
The yacht moved again, and then the sound of a fishing boat engine could be heard. After a few minutes, the sound grew farther and farther away, and finally disappeared on the sea.
Zhou Xuan poked his head out to look around, and after confirming that there were no fishing boats in sight, he lifted Wei Haihong out of the water, swam to the side of the yacht with a ladder, carried Wei Haihong on his shoulder, and then desperately climbed the ladders one by one onto the yacht.
It was unclear whether the liquid flowing down Wei Haihong's body was seawater or blood; in any case, it was salty. Zhou Xuan used the last of his strength to tumble onto the yacht.
After resting for a while and regaining some strength, Zhou Xuan got up and went to check the yacht. The instruments in the cabin were all destroyed, and there were two corpses, which were Hong Ge's two men. However, he couldn't find Achang and didn't know if he was dead or alive. The boat was also damaged, but fortunately, he wasn't wearing any clothes. It just couldn't be driven, but it still wouldn't sink. His bag of money was gone!
Zhou Xuan then hurriedly went to the deck to check Wei Haihong's injuries. He tore open his clothes and saw a bloody hole in his left chest. He didn't see any other wounds, but the wound on his chest was obviously very serious. He checked his breathing and found only a very weak breath.
Zhou Xuan bent down and softly called out twice, "Brother Hong, Brother Hong!"
Wei Haihong didn't react at all!
Zhou Xuan was anxious, but he didn't know anything about medicine or first aid, and he had never experienced anything like this before. He didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, they heard someone calling softly, "Xiao Zhou, are you there?"
Zhou Xuan was startled and cautiously crouched down. Then, following the sound, he looked over and saw a figure moving up and down with the waves about four or five meters to the side of the boat.
Zhou Xuan looked closely, but couldn't make out the face. However, the voice sounded like A-Chang's, so he leaned over to the side of the boat and whispered, "A-Chang, is that you?"
“It’s me, pull me up!” the man replied, then struggled to swim to the side of the boat.
As they got closer, Zhou Xuan realized it was indeed Achang and quickly pulled him onto the boat.
Ah Chang had been shot in the right arm and had exhausted himself in the sea. He lay on the yacht, panting, and asked, "How is Brother Hong?"
"Brother Hong?" Zhou Xuan exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Hong was also shot. He seems to be seriously injured. He didn't respond when I called him!"
Achang couldn't stay still any longer. He got up and squatted down next to Wei Haihong, carefully examining his injuries. After the examination, he became anxious and said, "Oh no, Brother Hong's injuries are serious, and he has lost too much blood. What should we do?"
After saying that, Achang took out the satellite phone from his waist and started pressing the buttons.
Zhou Xuan wondered if it could still be used after being soaked in seawater for so long. But perhaps satellite phones are waterproof.
Achang ran to the side of the boat and adjusted the frequency of the satellite phone, while Zhou Xuan squatted down next to Brother Hong. Looking at Brother Hong who was not moving, he felt very sad. Not long ago, he was still laughing and talking, but now he was on the verge of death!
Suddenly it occurred to me, what good is earning more money? At this moment, money is of no use whatsoever!
Achang seemed to have made contact, speaking softly into the satellite phone.
Zhou Xuan gently pressed his left hand against Wei Haihong's chest wound. Blood was still flowing, and seeing so much blood made him feel a little dizzy!
The icy energy in his left hand stirred, and Zhou Xuan used it to circulate it throughout his body, clearing his mind somewhat. Just then, he suddenly remembered that after the sea turtle bit his finger at the bottom of the sea, he took a nap, and the next day he couldn't even find the wound. Maybe the icy energy in his left hand has healing properties!
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan didn't hesitate any longer and used his icy energy to force it into Wei Haihong's body.
The icy energy flowed through Wei Haihong's body, and Zhou Xuan could clearly see the condition of his internal organs in his mind. It was indescribable; he could see wherever the icy energy flowed. However, when it reached his chest, the icy energy could not pass through the wound.
Zhou Xuan could feel that although the icy air couldn't pass through, the cells on the wound were growing rapidly and healing themselves wherever the icy air passed, and it would devour the damaged and necrotic cells and regenerate!
It was indeed effective, but while the ice energy was healing, it was also being consumed rapidly, many times more than the consumption of detection items. It could be said that since the existence of ice energy, Zhou Xuan's consumption of ice energy had never been so intense!
His vision seemed to be going black, and he couldn't see objects clearly. However, Zhou Xuan could see in his mind that the wounds on Wei Haihong's body were healing rapidly. He gritted his teeth and used the last bit of strength to send the remaining ice energy into Wei Haihong's wounds!

When Zhou Xuan slowly woke up from his dizziness, he found himself at the port!
Achang and several soldiers were carrying Hong Ge on a stretcher into an ambulance when they heard him say to a man who looked like an officer, "Those people weren't just a chance encounter; they're very professional... their marksmanship is excellent... I suspect..."
The voices grew softer and softer, and Zhou Xuan couldn't hear them clearly anymore. He sat up and realized he was also sitting on a stretcher.
