Kato Megumi nodded, thinking to herself, "Being nearsighted is indeed inconvenient, but wearing swimming goggles is definitely more convenient. Not everyone is used to keeping their eyes open underwater, and keeping your eyes open underwater can be harmful to them. People who dive for a long time are quite aware of these negative effects."
"Don't swim too deep, and it's best to bring a swimming ring," Li Wei said.
The hotel staff were very well-prepared; not only were there swimming rings for everyone, but they also provided two surfboards.
"I see. I suddenly realize that you have the potential to be a mother hen, Li Wei." Eriri picked up a swimming ring and wrapped it around her waist. Although she had some experience in swimming, this was Li Wei's way of showing concern, and she wouldn't be ungrateful.
Moreover, swimming in the sea is different from swimming in a swimming pool. The water in a swimming pool is relatively calm, while the sea is turbulent. If you encounter a whirlpool, you can easily be dragged down. Therefore, wearing a swimming ring can give you more reaction time if you do encounter a situation.
"Bring your swimming rings, don't make me worry. I organized this short trip, so I have the obligation and responsibility to bring you all back safe and sound," Li Wei said.
"Okay." Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled. Although Li Wei was a little long-winded at this moment, she didn't dislike the feeling of being worried about, because it was Li Wei who cared about her.
Li Wei nodded in satisfaction as he watched the three girls obediently put their swimming rings around their waists.
At the same time, he also activated his perception ability. The perception limit of several hundred meters was enough for him to ensure the safety of the three girls. Even if it were true, he could react in time to any unexpected situation.
Chapter 70. Shark Attack
Li Wei's perception range is extremely wide, which is why he was able to remain calm and collected while Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others were swimming in the sea.
"Tsk... The world of anime is truly wonderful. On the entire beach, apart from the elderly, there really weren't many oddballs or deformed people," Li Wei exclaimed.
This world isn't without people who aren't particularly attractive, but even if someone here isn't considered attractive, they'd still be at least above average in the real world. If there really is a "Goddess of Beauty," then Li Wei can only sigh that she definitely favors the people of this world.
Just as Li Wei was marveling at the peculiarity of this world, and his eyes behind his sunglasses were constantly scanning the beach, he suddenly sensed two uninvited guests.
“Shark? Judging by its size, it should be a weasel shark… Whatever kind of shark it is, it has to be dealt with if it gets close to humans.” Li Wei stood up, took a large surfboard from the side of the deck chair, and ran quickly towards the sea.
As an extraordinary being, Li Wei's running speed is far beyond that of ordinary people. However, there are too many people around him, so he has to suppress his speed to about the human limit to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.
Sharks swim very fast in the ocean. For them, a distance of several hundred meters is like a human running fifty meters. They will reach the swimming area in no time.
The tigress shark ranks among the top ten most aggressive sharks. Although it is not as large as the great white shark, it is more professional and ruthless than the great white shark in attacking swimmers in the sea.
Once in the sea, Levi placed his surfboard beneath him and began swinging his legs rapidly, propelling him forward like a propeller. However, the two ferret sharks were getting closer and closer to the swimmers. Levi couldn't care less about the other swimmers' lives; all he could do was get the three girls out of the dangerous waters and back to the beach as quickly as possible.
Swimming areas like this are usually equipped with shark nets, but now two huge ferret sharks have swum in, so it seems there must be something wrong with the shark nets.
However, Li Wei couldn't care less about that right now; all he could think about was getting the three girls away from danger.
Li Wei quickly arrived at the side of Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others.
"Hurry up and leave with me, there are sharks coming." Li Wei stopped beside the three of them.
"Sharks? Aren't there shark nets here? Why are sharks still getting in?" Eriri asked, puzzled.
“I don’t know anything about this, but two sharks have slipped in here. We’d better get back to the beach as soon as possible. Safety first,” Li Wei said with a serious expression.
Just then, a sharp cry came from not far away. Some swimmers had spotted the shark approaching them. They struggled desperately to swim away from the shark, but in the ocean, how could humans swim faster than sharks? Their struggles were in vain.
Seeing the huge triangular fin emerging from the water, the three girls were stunned. Li Wei shouted, "Everyone grab the surfboards, forget about the swimming rings, I'll take you back."
Awakened by Li Wei's roar, the three girls didn't dare to delay and twisted their bodies to dive into the water, taking off their swimming rings. Eriri, who was wearing swimming goggles, also saw the ferret shark attacking other swimmers. Terrified by this scene, she almost drowned if Li Wei hadn't grabbed her hand and pulled her up.
"A shark is biting people!" Eriri's voice trembled as she surfaced.
"I know, I can't care about the others, I just want you all to be safe and sound." Li Wei lifted Eriri by the waist and put her on the surfboard.
At this moment, Li Wei was truly grateful that the hotel had provided a surfboard that was large enough. Two people could lie on it without any problem, and three people could squeeze in if they wanted. The three girls were not very big, so it wasn't particularly crowded for them to lie on the surfboard.
After helping Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi onto the surfboard, Levi grabbed the back edge of the surfboard with both hands and quickly flapped his legs, unleashing power far beyond that of ordinary people. Although his speed couldn't match that of real fish, it was still much faster than the swimming speed of a normal person.
A layer of red had appeared on the surface of the sea. Li Wei sensed that one of the weasel sharks had bitten the right leg of a male swimmer and was rolling around violently. The male swimmer was unable to resist and was dragged directly to the bottom of the water by the weasel shark.
Li Wei knew that the male swimmer was beyond saving. Even if he wasn't bitten to death by the ferret shark, he would drown from choking on the water.
Another shark had already smelled the blood and started swimming towards them. Li Wei didn't want to fight such a behemoth in the sea. Although he was sure he wouldn't lose, exposing his extraordinary abilities in such a place would only make things difficult for him. So, after taking the three girls with him, he left the area where the shark had attacked.
Even Kato Megumi was stunned by the shock. She listened to the piercing screams behind her and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha were the same; neither of them dared to turn around.
Li Wei said, "We've escaped the dangerous waters. Get ready to land. We're heading into the wave zone. Be careful not to get hit by sand or rocks."
Li Wei pushed his surfboard and got stuck in the waves. He pulled the three girls up, and the four of them walked towards the beach.
Eriri turned around. Several speedboats from the maritime rescue team had arrived at the area where the shark had attacked, but they were a little late. One of the sharks had already disappeared, while another shark leaped out of the water and crashed heavily into a speedboat, almost capsizing it. The sea was in chaos, and a large crowd of onlookers had gathered on the beach.
"Is everyone alright?" Li Wei asked.
Once they regained their senses, the three girls clung tightly to Li Wei. Li Wei could feel their fear; such a close encounter with a shark was enough to leave a lifelong trauma for anyone who wasn't brave enough.
"I was so scared. Luckily, Li Weijun, you arrived in time. If it weren't for you, we would probably be in danger now." Eriri hugged Li Weijun's strong waist tightly and refused to let go.
Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi did the same, grabbing onto Li Wei's arms. In the face of sharks, wealth and status are meaningless; sharks don't care about such things. They will only bite you, drag you into the water, tear you apart, and drown you.
Such an experience would be a terrifying trauma for any three young girls, enough to cause them psychological scars.
"It's alright, it's alright, I'm here. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you," Li Wei said.
Li Wei felt that this trip was really unlucky, as the shark attack had ruined his good mood.
Chapter 71. I Want Them All
The situation regarding the shark attack on humans was quickly brought under control. Two ferret sharks that entered the swimming area through a breach in the shark net caused two deaths and one serious injury before being shot dead by the arriving water rescue team with harpoons.
The two ferret sharks were eventually dragged onto the beach. The arriving ambulance took the unfortunate ferret shark that was seriously injured and left the beach. The beach was then cordoned off with yellow tape by the security personnel who followed. Tourists playing on the beach could only watch the two ferret shark carcasses from a distance.
The two ferret sharks, one of which was six meters long and as tall as a two-story building when stretched out, was smaller, with a body length of only a little over three meters.
Both ferret sharks had various kinds of spears stuck in their bodies.
After the barbed speargun pierced the ferret shark's body, the water rescue team tied ropes to the boat and, with the power of the speedboat and the combined efforts of everyone, managed to drag the two sharks onto the beach.
After quickly drying themselves off, Li Wei and the others simply draped a layer of gauze over their bodies.
"Swimmers like that have absolutely no chance of survival." Kato Megumi seemed to be in much better shape now, at least outwardly. However, Li Wei could see that her hands were still trembling slightly, indicating that the ordeal was still affecting her.
Eriri is still clinging tightly to Li Wei's arm, her face still showing fear.
Eriri said, "I will never swim in the sea again in my life. In fact, I will never swim again."
Because she was wearing swimming goggles, Eriri clearly saw the shark attacking the swimmer.
It was precisely because of this that the scene left her with an indelible psychological shadow. Now, she is too afraid to go into the water, let alone swim. Her fear of water now only allows her to take a bath. Any open body of water will awaken the terrifying image in her mind of sharks attacking swimmers.
"I'll call the hotel to have them pack our things, and we'll head back in a bit," Li Wei said.
Eriri nodded. The reason she was clinging to Li Wei so much now was because Li Wei's timely appearance had saved them from the shark attack.
In that situation, Levi still dared to bring his surfboard to rescue them, a courage that few people possess, which demonstrates Levi's reliability.
Coupled with the effects of her previous fears, Li Wei is now Eriri's psychological lifeline; once she grasps him, she dares not let go.
Kasumigaoka Utaha is in better condition and no longer shows obvious fear.
"Are those people going to take the sharks away?" Kasumigaoka Utaha saw a truck drive onto the beach, and a group of people in uniforms used various tools to lift two sharks onto the truck.
“This kind of thing is none of our business,” Li Wei said.
The Japanese hunt whales, making themselves universally hated, but when it comes to sharks, even if they are caught and killed, most people will only feel sorry for them and won't have much sympathy for them. This is because the frequent shark attacks on humans have made most people dislike sharks.
Li Wei, who had experienced it firsthand, had no liking for sharks. If he hadn't possessed extraordinary strength and arrived at the three girls' side in time, all three girls might have perished.
Sharks are an important part of the marine ecosystem. Although Li Wei would not deliberately hunt sharks, he would not hesitate to kill them if they provoked him.
The hotel staff were incredibly efficient; they arrived less than ten minutes after Li Wei made the call.
After having the hotel staff clean up the various items on the beach, Li Wei and the others returned to the hotel first.
Even after the shark was removed, the crowd on the beach lingered for a long time. Li Wei turned around and glanced at the crowd on the beach from afar, sighing inwardly, "Sure enough, onlookers are a common sight in every country."
The shark attack will likely make the news again, as the two deaths and one serious injury are enough to cause a sensation online.
Back at the hotel, we took the elevator back to the floor where our suite was located. There was still some time before lunch.
"Eri, Senpai, Megumi, why don't you take a shower and change into something comfortable?" Li Wei said.
Under Li Wei's slightly surprised gaze, the three girls walked directly into the bathroom.
"Uh? Senior, aren't you going back to your rooms? The bathroom here has a matte finish, I can see it from the outside," Li Wei said helplessly. Although he wasn't a good person, he didn't want to take advantage of them.
"So what? You saved my life anyway, so I won't resist whatever you want to do to me." Kasumigaoka Utaha winked at Li Wei.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's emotions were quite intense. She already had a special fondness for Li Wei, and this life-saving grace made her certain that Li Wei was a reliable person she could entrust her life to. It was because of this that she no longer hid her feelings.
"Huh? What are you saying, you fat dinosaur! It's just that you have two lumps of meat that are a little heavier, yet you're trying to seduce Li Weijun here. You're such a vixen!" Eriri immediately bristled.
"Huh? I like Li Wei-jun, Eriri, do you have a problem with that?" Kasumigaoka Utaha said calmly.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, being someone who makes a living through writing, possesses far superior language skills compared to Eriri. With a single, direct remark, she left Eriri speechless.
Eriri's face flushed red, like a volcano about to erupt, and she finally said in a loud voice, "Because I like Li Wei-jun too!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression turned serious, as if facing a formidable enemy: "I didn't expect you to have such courage; I underestimated you. However, isn't this matter up to Li Wei-kun?"
Kato Megumi, watching the spectacle from the sidelines, felt a pang of envy. She had been a step too slow, failing to utter those words before Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha. Now, she wanted to hear Li Wei's response. After all, this was a very complicated matter, and if she joined the fray, the situation would only become more chaotic.
Li Wei took a deep breath, his expression turning serious: "Do you really want to know the answer?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri both nodded.
Li Wei said, "When I'm faced with a multiple-choice question, I always treat a single-choice question like a multiple-answer question. What I mean is, I want them all!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri felt as if a bell had been rung in their minds; Li Wei's answer was completely unexpected.
Kato Megumi said expressionlessly, "That scumbag has made a truly remarkable declaration of his scumbag nature."
