The Doomsday Chef

Chapter 376 Diving
The waves in the dark river were rough, and the man jumped first.

In an instant, the clothes on his body were wet by the black river water. The protective cover can shield all dangers, but it cannot shield the polluted water source.

"I'll go and have a look first," Lu Chen pointed to the gap that was only as big as a crack.

He intends to travel through the past to explore the way.

Su Moxin mentioned that she didn't have that much confidence in her lung capacity, so she nodded, "If it's too far, you can come back, we're thinking of other ways."

"wait for me".

The man took a deep breath and dived into the rushing river water as black as ink.

Su Mo stood by the edge of the rock gap, staring at the place where he disappeared with a pair of big eyes, and slipped into his pants unconsciously with his hands hanging by his side.

At 1 minute, Su Mo was in a good mood. After 2 minutes passed, she comforted herself that the distance was still short. After 3 minutes, her hands were about to squeeze her trousers, and there were signs of twisting. Up to now, the distance from him has passed. After 5 minutes, Su Mo's hands began to shake. She felt that it had been too long. She didn't know what was going on there. There was only water gushing from under the cracks in the rock.

In the cave, apart from the sound of water ticking down on the stalactites, there was only the sound of her heart beating faster because of waiting.

She thought, if he didn't come back in another 2 minutes, she would go down to find him.

Nearly 8 minutes later, a series of bubbles appeared at the junction of the rock crevice and the water flow, and the man reappeared on the river surface. After taking a deep breath, he met Su Mo's anxious face.

She quickly squatted down on the side and pulled him up, "Why have you been here for so long?"

He raised his delicate eyebrows, and the black water ran along his hair from his forehead to his high nose bridge, and finally fell into the palm of Su Mo's face that was used to wipe his face.

"Somewhat far."

Su Mo wiped his face clean, and quickly said: "Then rest for a while and go down, don't worry."

The man grabbed her hand and put a kiss on her palm, "Worried about you?"

Su Mo nodded generously, "The first time you fell into the water was because of me, I don't want it to be the same the second time."

That day at sea, she watched him being pressed by a steel plate and sinking to the bottom of the sea. She didn't want to bear that kind of desperate pain a second time.

Lu Chen's eyes darkened, and he leaned closer to her small face, with an ambiguous deep voice, "Then reward me."

Before Su Mo could answer, he put his hand on the back of her neck, pressed her face and covered his lips.

The cold lips and tongue attacked the city in her mouth, very aggressive.

Su Mo wrapped his arms around his neck and responded enthusiastically.

It wasn't until he was almost out of breath that he patted his shoulder and let go, complaining: "Your vital capacity, I really don't seem to have anything to worry about."

The man's dull laughter vibrated from his chest, which was very pleasant.

He pulled her to stand up, "Are you ready?"

Looking at the black river, Su Mo nodded and grabbed his hand tightly.

"Take a deep breath, everything has me".

"it is good".

She took a deep breath, and was dragged by him to jump into the bottomless black river.

There was a turbulent black river with a stinky smell in his mouth and nose. Su Mo couldn't even open his eyes, and instinctively slid his feet forward, swimming with the man who was holding her hand tightly.

She has no professional diving experience. Judging from Lu Chen's round-trip time, at least 4 minutes of holding her breath is required. She can only slow down her breathing speed as much as possible so as not to drag him down.

Time passed by, and the river water in the direction of resistance to her was rapidly consuming her physical strength. This was completely different from the static water flow in the school swimming pool, and the strength required also needed to be increased.

After a while, her limbs began to lose strength, and her head became a little dizzy, but she still waved her arms and legs subconsciously.

A strong arm lifted her to the side, and the oxygen in the man's mouth was diverted.

The fresh oxygen coming from her mouth made Su Mo wake up a little bit. She felt her palm was pinched, and she pinched back. Then, she was directly held by his waist and speeded up.

After surfacing again, her lungs, which were about to explode as if they were burning, finally felt comfortable after inhaling fresh air. She sucked so hard that she almost choked and coughed several times.

She pressed against the man's chest, blinked her wet eyes twice, and saw the surrounding environment clearly.

They were still in a karst cave, surrounded by paint, and Lu Chen led her to swim up a rock protruding from the water.

As soon as she came up, she sneezed. Looking at the dark river in front of her with no end in sight, she trembled and said, "Is it still this far?"

At this moment, Su Mo's mouth was a little pale, and the man's broad chest was pressed against her back, and his body, which was warmer than the bone-chilling river water, dispelled some of the chill.

Lu Chen took out a towel and wiped her face, sat down cross-legged and held her in his arms, wrapping his arms around her stomach, "take a break".

The drenched bodies of the two were close to each other, and Su Mo's trembling body gradually calmed down, "We are really full of disasters."

The man's chin touched her thin shoulders and rubbed lightly, "Is it better?"

"Well," Su Mo nodded, "Before I leave, let's drink some borscht. I remember I made a few pots of that."

She was really going to freeze to death, and drinking that soup would make her feel better before going into the water.

"it is good".

After staying quietly for a while, after confirming that Su Mo had recovered, the man let go of her and took out the soup from the space.

After sharing the food, the system prompt sounded as promised.

[The duration of resisting the primary cold is 10 hours, and the state is successfully added]

"Ready?"

"Um"

Su Mo stood up, took a deep breath, and jumped down with the man.

The biting cold was much better with the added state, and she tried hard to keep up with his swimming speed.

No matter in terms of physical strength or physical fitness, Lu Chen has undergone long-term professional training, which is incomparable to Su Mo.

The river leading to the outside is very long. Although Su Mo no longer needs to hold her breath, the rapid exhaustion of her body forced her to cling to the man's body and carry her forward.

The sound of water flowing in the ear was getting louder and louder with the sound of the wind, and the river became turbulent.

Lu Chen hugged Su Mo tightly, and leaned his body against the stone wall on one side. There was a concave corner here, which could let them rest for a while.

In front, there was a faint glimmer of light, and Su Mo said pleasantly: "We can go out soon!".

"There may be a downward waterfall outside."

Lu Chen's words made Su Mo's smile froze, and she tightened her hands around his neck, "The time for the protective cover has passed, we have to eat again."
