After a chubby wife with a child undergoes a remarkable transformation, her beauty becomes the talk

Thinking about this, Shen Lu's face felt like it was on fire. Even though she was in the water, she didn't seem so cold anymore.

Shen Lu silently comforted herself in her heart.

Don't be embarrassed; it's perfectly normal to be teased by others at work.

The group leader didn't pursue the matter, and she didn't know what else to say.

There were only the two of them there, and even though Shen Lu felt awkward, her body involuntarily moved closer to Gu Xiao.

It was as if being by Gu Xiao's side brought a greater sense of safety.

He serves the people, so if anything happens, Gu Xiao will definitely not abandon her.

Gu Xiao remained silent, surveying his surroundings with his eyes.

At that moment, he suddenly saw movement not far away, immediately pulled Shen Lu into his arms, and with the strength of his arms, swam desperately into the distance.

Shortly after they left, a large section of the wall collapsed from where they were standing, splashing deep into the water and hitting Shen Lu's face.

Because a large hole had been made in the wall, a large amount of water rushed in, and the water level rose rapidly.

Gu Xiao swam to the middle of the house. The buildings on this side of the guild hall were in the shape of an A-frame pavilion.

Therefore, the central area is also the highest area.

However, the swift current was too fast, and soon forced the two of them to the very center.

They were already very far from the exit through the window.

Shen Lu didn't know how they would leave this place when the adjutant drove back to find them.

Shen Lu's mind was racing, and she couldn't think of any way to escape.

She completely ignored the fact that she was still in Gu Xiao's arms.

When he realized it, he immediately struggled to get away.

Only then did he realize that his feet were dangling in mid-air, and he couldn't touch the ground no matter what he did.

Shen Lu panicked. Her survival instinct made her stretch out her arms and wrap them tightly around Gu Xiao like a vine.

"Calm down. If this continues, none of us will survive."

With just one sentence, Shen Lu's panic was successfully quelled.

She looked around and quickly understood what was going on.

It turned out that due to the rising water level, they had been brought to the very top.

She's a good swimmer, so there's no need to worry about her drowning.

But a new crisis is looming.

That's because the continuous floodwaters have forced them to the very top of their houses, where they could reach the roof with just a hand outstretched.

They are running out of oxygen and are likely to suffocate here. The only thing they need to do now is find a way out.

Gu Xiao analyzed the current situation; if they didn't leave immediately, the two of them would likely be in danger.

"Can you swim?" Gu Xiao asked.

Shen Lu nodded: "Yes."

"You wait here, I'll go explore the underwater exit. If it's possible, we'll swim away from here together."

The closest exit for them is the window where the foreigners were just seen off.

However, given the collapse that occurred there, it's uncertain whether it's still possible to pass through smoothly now.

"it is good."

In this situation, Shen Lu had no choice but to unconditionally trust Gu Xiao.

After Gu Xiao helped Shen Lu regain her balance, he took a deep breath and dived into the water.

Shen Lu mentally timed Commander Gu's journey, realizing that if the distance was too far, she might not be able to hold her breath for that long.

About two minutes later, Gu Xiao returned.

"You can get through the window, but it's a bit narrow because it's blocked by a wall. I tried it myself and I was a little short of strength. It would take two people to work together to move the wall and then squeeze through."

Shen Lu nodded.

This means they have three things to do underwater: first, swim to the window; second, move the wall near the window; and third, pass through the window.

"Commander Gu, but I can only hold my breath for a maximum of two minutes."

That's enough.

Shen Lu met Gu Xiao's gaze. Because she had just come out of the water, her eyelashes were wet and clumped together, making Gu Xiao's eyes exceptionally bright.

My previously panicked heart calmed down at this moment.

After making their plans, the two took a deep breath and dived into the water one after the other.

The situation underwater was worse than Shen Lu had imagined.

With no lighting available and visibility almost zero underwater, Shen Lu had to tug at Gu Xiao's clothes to find her way.

The water was extremely cold, and the current flowed in the opposite direction to theirs.

The scattered wall fragments felt very sharp to the touch, and before Shen Lu could notice, something seemed to have scratched her back.

However, she didn't feel anything in the cold water.

Swinging his arms, he continued swimming forward.

Just when Shen Lu was almost exhausted, they finally swam to the window and saw the hazy moonlight.

A huge wall blocked the window, leaving only a small space.

Even a child couldn't squeeze through, let alone two adults.

Following Gu Xiao's instructions, Shen Lu and the other person each carried one side of the wall.

Shen Lu was near the window when the wall was moved aside, allowing her to immediately swim towards the light through the window.

Although he had very little breath left in his lungs, he still used all his strength to move the wall panel.

With the increased buoyancy in the water, the two of them worked together to slowly move the wall and open the window.

Shen Lu watched as the hole in the window grew larger and larger, big enough for two people to pass through without any problem.

As agreed, Shen Lu immediately let go and swam towards the window.

Just as she was about to surface, a sharp pain shot through her foot.

The sudden pain, as if striking her soul, made Shen Lu involuntarily open her mouth, wanting to scream.

Unexpectedly, the moment she opened her mouth, a large amount of water rushed into it.

It was too late for Shen Lu to shut her mouth at this point.

Water filled her lungs and stomach, and the intense feeling of suffocation made it impossible for Shen Lu to think. She could only rely on instinct to paddle into the water.

But all around was a silent stillness.

His consciousness gradually faded, and his body sank downwards involuntarily.

Just then, the water in the distance slid slightly, and a figure swam towards her.

Shen Lu didn't even have the strength to hold onto him anymore.

In a hazy state, Shen Lu felt a warm sensation on her lips and inhaled it.
