Chapter 564: In the Water
Zhang Ke took the map, examined it carefully, then questioned Lu Yuwen with doubt:
“Missing a piece? Of the 100 parcels, 99 are there besides the empty space, so why do you say one is missing?”
Su Man looked at the map puzzled too, the southwest corner of the region was Yunlong Lake, with 2 pure water areas and 6 half water half land, occupying a total of 8 parcels.
“Which one is missing?” She asked.
Lu Yuwen pointed to the map again, saying, “It’s in the water.”
Zhang Ke and Su Man both froze.
In the water…
This ant that the arrows were also in the water.
They needed to dive under the water to change the direction of the arrow, and then move the parcels!
How deep do they need to dive? Unknown; how clear is the underwater visibility? Unknown; is it dangerous? Still unknown!
Zhang Ke, who had regained his senses, felt a surge of anger, grabbed Lu Yuwen by the collar, and said nacingly, “You’ve been planning to screw over all along, haven’t you?!”
“Let go!” Su Man grabbed Zhang Ke’s wrist and pulled hard!
Zhang Ke, strong and robust, was pulled off balance by Su Man. He stumbled but managed to steady himself, his expression beca even more fierce!
“If we have to go underwater, you guys go on your own! I won’t go in!” he gritted his teeth and said.
“So I only gave you two parcels of the route.” Lu Yuwen was calm, “The missing piece, shall we figure it out slowly?”
“Figure it out slowly?” Zhang Ke sneered and pointed at Su Man, “Let her go down!”
Su Man was stunned.
Lu Yuwen spoke directly: “She can’t.”
Su Man was surprised again, looking at Lu Yuwen with wide eyes, she didn’t understand, why couldn’t she?
Did Lu Yuwen think she couldn’t swim? Actually, her swimming ability was okay…
“Her hand is not functioning, she can’t tie knots underwater.” Lu Yuwen said, “The underwater visibility is limited, we find an arrow, then we need to find another arrow, this process can’t be as fast as it is on the shore, when we find the next one, the previous arrow has already resud its original direction, so, if we want to turn multiple arrows at the sa ti, we have to use certain thods, like tying them with ropes to fix the direction of the arrows.”
Hearing this, Zhang Ke sneered, “You’ve even figured out the thod, it seems like you’ve long been waiting here for . You can’t go underwater because of your limp leg, she can’t tie the rope with one hand, so who’s left? ! If I won’t go, we’ll just wait here together to die! Is that what you an?”
“If you don’t want to go down, then don’t go down! Why are you yelling?!” Su Man couldn’t stand Zhang Ke’s attitude and stood up to say, “If you’re so capable, co up with a solution! Complaining does no good! If it cos to that, I’ll go into the water, if one hand can’t tie the knot, I’ll just wind it more tis!”
Zhang Ke looked at her sarcastically, “Bind? Do you not know there’s buoyancy underwater? Unless you tie it dead tight, no matter how many tis you wind it, it’ll co loose!”
Su Man glared at him, “Then what are you suggesting we should do?!”
Zhang Ke gritted his teeth, brooded for a while, then he snorted, “Let’s check out the site tomorrow first!”
After he finished speaking, he took the route map given by Lu Yuwen and turned to leave. Each step was deliberate, as if to vent his anger.
After he left, Su Man finally couldn’t help but ask Lu Yuwen, “Is that the other reason you ntioned last ti? Even without Zhang Ke, I could go into the water myself!”
Lu Yuwen’s face looked serious, “Finding arrows underwater is not as easy as you think.”
He was stating the fact, but sohow, Su Man felt as if there was a raging fire burning inside her, she retorted, “How difficult could it be? Do you think I can only handle easy tasks and not the challenging ones?!”
Lu Yuwen was taken aback.
Su Man bit her lip and whispered, “I know, you all think I’m a fool who can only do things that don’t require thinking.”
Lu Yuwen opened his mouth, “Su Man, I didn’t an that…”
Su Man lowered her head, murmuring, “Forget it…I was just speaking off the top of my head.”
She turned around and entered the tent.
