Nan Zhi's slender waist was carried by the person and in the next second, a force pushed her upwards towards the surface of the sea.

Breaking through the surface of the water, Nan Zhi started to cough rigorously the moment she breathed in fresh air. Her ears were still ringing as the man's growling voice trailed over. But....what was he saying? She couldn't hear him over the lapping of the waves and the strong whipping of the wind.

She could only feel him swimming forward while pulling her tired body along.

A loud explosion could be heard not too long after.

It was a sharp sound, before a thunderous explosion rocked the water with a powerful force like a volcano had exploded in her face.

In that moment, a strong wave of blistering heat blasted through the air, the temperature blazing like a nuclear bomb. Despite this, its effects were was quickly dampened as the man protected her, covering her with his body almost immediately.

If Mu Sihan had been alone, he definitely had the ability to avoid it. However, he could not just disregard Nan Zhi.

She was a woman and he would not let her get injured.

As the black mushroom cloud rose to the sky. Mu Sihan continued to use his body to block the fire that was rushing towards them. He used all of his strength to defend Nan Zhi, pushing her behind him to prevent her from getting hurt from the explosion.

Even though they had already swum a fair distance, one of the exploding debris still hit Mu Sihan's across the shoulder.

He immediately felt an intense, fiery pain.

Pursing his lips tightly, he remained completely silent, giving no indication he had been hurt at all.

Nan Zhi's ears were ringing so much from the explosion that she almost went deaf. It was only after a period of time that she got back her senses. Turning her head, she looked at the man behind her, using the hazy light from the explosion. Just as she was about to speak, she heard him growl, "What are you looking at me for? Keep swimming forward."

When he saw that she was able to swim, he felt a relief flood through him, thanking the heavens for this ounce of luck. It was just enough.

Nan Zhi felt surreal over the multiple life and death situations she had found herself in tonight. She did not dare to say anything else as she merely obeyed Mu Sihan and continued swimming forward.

Like that, an hour passed.

Nan Zhi felt her energy decreasingly rapidly as she swam in a dogged fashion into the black void of nothingness. Her entire body felt like it was injected with lead. Every stroke and desperate kick towards the shore only worked to deplete her declining energy. She was exhausted, so exhausted she wanted to pass out. Only the thought of going back for her Xiaojie allowed her to grit her teeth and continue.

The temperature of the night 's seawater was lower than she expected. Her limbs were numb from the prolonged exposure to the icy waters for far too long.

The man behind her kept telling her where to swim towards to. How could he even tell? She didn't know. All she knew was she had to keep going but she didn't have the energy to even think. With straight brows furrowed at the sight of Nan Zhi's decreasing pace, he said finally, "You're out of energy?"
