Chapter 1013
Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Shuwan were waiting on the deck.
The sea was still quite rough, and the lifeboat was bobbing in the waves. Every time it got closer, people's hearts tightened.
Zhou Shuwan struggled to stand up from the wheelchair, but Zhong Tiyun held her down tightly: "Wanwan, don't move! You can't hold on! Wait for Xiaoyu to rescue Mumu!"
She had no choice but to stop and stare at the lifeboat.
Finally, the lifeboat reached the wooden plank.
At this time, Mu Mu had already passed out.
He was lying on the wooden board, motionless, his eyes closed, and his face was as pale as Zhou Shuwan's, without a trace of blood.
His lips were chapped and cracked, with a circle of white salt stains on the edges, showing that he had been soaking in the sea for too long.
His arms were still wrapped around the edge of the board, his knuckles were stretched white, and even between his nails were bits of sea sand and wood debris. Even though he was unconscious, he didn't let go of the board.
Only his chest rose and fell very slightly, indicating that he was still breathing. Apart from that, he was so quiet that it was heartbreaking.
Qi Mingyu reached out and felt Mu Mu's breath, feeling relieved, and then shouted towards the cruise ship: "There's still breath! She's still alive!"
This sentence was like a reassurance, making everyone on the deck feel relieved.
Zhong Tiyun's tense body collapsed instantly, tears streaming down her face as she smiled and said, "It's good to be alive... It's good to be alive..."
Zhou Shuwan's eyes also became moist.
Qi Mingyu half-knelt in the lifeboat and carefully moved Mu Mu's body to the center of the boat to prevent him from being wet by the waves again.
He reached out and brushed away the wet hair on Mu Mu's forehead. His fingertips felt something cold and he couldn't help but frown.
The body temperature is too low. It would be dangerous if we delay any further.
He quickly took off his coat and wrapped it around Mu Mu's wet body. He then pulled over the spare blanket from the lifeboat and wrapped it tightly, leaving only Mu Mu's face exposed.
After doing all this, he grabbed the oar and paddled hard towards the cruise ship.
The waves on the sea were still quite big, and the lifeboat was pushed from side to side. He had to devote half of his attention to steadying the boat. He used all his strength in every stroke, and the muscles in his arms were tense.
On the deck, the two men kept their eyes fixed on the lifeboat, their emotions tense.
Zhou Jianghai in the cockpit was also paying attention to the situation around him, while looking in the direction of Qi Mingyu and the others, his heart was tense.
A few minutes later, the lifeboat finally arrived next to the cruise ship.
Zhong Tiyun immediately lowered the rope. Qi Mingyu first lifted Mu Mu's body, asked Zhong Tiyun to carefully secure it with the rope, and then slowly pull it up using the pulley.
He grabbed the rope and used it to climb onto the deck. As soon as he stood firm, he quickly walked to the stretcher and stared at Mu Mu who was being carried up.
"Quick, carry him into the cabin, turn on the heater, and find some clean towels and warm water! He's freezing!"
The temperature on the sea surface was very low, and coupled with dehydration, Mu Mu was not in a good condition at the moment.
Zhong Tiyun and Qi Mingyu helped carry the stretcher.
Zhou Shuwan also pushed the wheelchair forward.
After Zhou Jianghai met the two people, he quickly turned off the engine, trotted to the deck, and helped lift Mu Mu.
Zhong Tiyun came to push Zhou Shuwan.
After carefully carrying Mu Mu into the lounge, Zhong Tiyun immediately found a clean towel and blanket. She wiped Mu Mu's body while crying, "This child must have suffered so much... He drifted in the sea for so long and even survived three tsunamis..."
At this moment, Mu Mu's fingers suddenly moved.
Qi Mingyu immediately held his breath and stared at his face.
After a few seconds, Mu Mu slowly opened her eyelids, her blurry vision falling on everyone's faces. She spoke weakly, her voice so hoarse that it was almost inaudible: "Am I...am I saved..."
"Yes! You're saved! Mumu, you're on the boat now!" Zhong Tiyun burst into tears again, holding his hand tightly and choking with sobs, "We're all here to save you, don't be afraid, you're safe now."
Mu Mu looked at her, his lips slightly raised, wanting to smile but without the strength.
He slowly closed his eyes, his voice as soft as the wind: "I knew... you would find me..."
After saying this, he completely lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
Zhou Shuwan touched his forehead. Although it was still cold, his breathing had become much calmer.
She breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the bed, all the strength drained from her.
Zhong Tiyun came over and patted her shoulder: "Okay, Wanwan, Mumu is fine, you should have a good rest."
Zhou Shuwan nodded, his eyes still fixed on Mu Mu's face, full of heartache and relief.
Qi Mingyu stood at the doorway, watching the scene in the room. His tense nerves finally relaxed, and he turned to Zhou Jianghai and said, "Dad, the cruise ship will stop here for a while. We'll return when Mumu's condition stabilizes."
Zhou Jianghai nodded, looking at Mu Mu who was unconscious on the bed and his exhausted daughter, his heart was filled with mixed emotions. He sighed softly, "It's all over. I'm glad everything's fine."
The cabin was very quiet, with only the sound of Mu Mu's steady breathing.
Zhou Shuwan was also arranged to rest next door.
She was so exhausted that when she lay there, she could truly feel the exploding pain in her head.
Qi Mingyu sat beside her and massaged her carefully.
The fingertips pressed on the temple with just the right amount of force, bringing a reassuring warmth that gradually dissipated the dull pain that was about to explode.
Zhou Shuwan closed his eyes, and his originally tense shoulders gradually relaxed. He leaned on the soft pillow and sighed softly.
"Are you feeling better?" Qi Mingyu's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid to disturb her rare peace. His fingertips slowly circled the acupuncture points on her forehead: "Just now on the deck, I shouldn't have let you hold on."
Zhou Shuwan shook his head, his voice still a little hoarse: "If I don't hold on, how can I find Mu Mu?"
She paused, tilted her head and looked towards the next room, her eyes filled with fear: "Fortunately... fortunately he grabbed the board, fortunately we arrived not too late."
Qi Mingyu remained silent. He reached out to tuck the scattered hair on her forehead behind her ears. His fingertips accidentally touched her earlobe, and the cold touch made him frown even more.
He stood up, grabbed a blanket nearby, and carefully covered her with it, tucking even the corners in. "You should be most worried about yourself right now. Mu Mu said that your coma this time was caused by overdrawing your spatial perception abilities. If you keep doing this, your body will collapse."
Just as she finished speaking, there was a gentle knock on the door. Zhong Tiyun walked in with a bowl of steaming porridge, the mist shrouding the red bloodshot in her eyes. "Wanwan, I just made some millet porridge. You should have some to fill your stomach." She placed the bowl on the small table beside the bed and reached out to touch Zhou Shuwan's forehead. "The temperature is finally normal. You had a fever before, so we had to give you an IV to reduce it. But you were on the deck just now, and your hands were as cold as ice."
Zhou Shuwan smiled at her mother: "It's okay, Mom, I feel much better now!"
