Chapter 1178: Don’t Bully the Mountains, Don’t Bully the Water

Zhang Zian followed Xinghai's gaze, and saw that the surfer didn't seem to want to leave the water and go ashore, but there was no sign of danger either.

"Xinghai, you said that person might be in danger?" he asked.

Xinghai stared at the figure cleaving the waves, nodded and said: "Meow~ He will be washed away by the water, then sink, sink forever, and people will never find him again..."

It turned to look at him again, "You will be detained by the police for questioning because you called the police. The police suspect that you killed that person, and you will lose the opportunity to go into the desert with the professor because of this..."

Having said that, Xinghai glanced at the station wagon in the distance again.

Zhang Zian's heart trembled, he knew that Xinghai would not joke, let alone joke about this kind of thing, since it said that the surfer's life would be in danger, it must be something that will happen soon.

According to Xinghai's description, the surfer will be swept away by the sea, and even the body cannot be found.

Since there are no other witnesses here, he will be detained by the Egyptian police as a murder suspect because he called the police. It is unknown how long he will be detained, but Wei Kang's scientific expedition team obviously cannot miss the opportunity to wait for him as a non-staff member. , so they will go into the desert by themselves.

It is quite possible that the Egyptian police system is rotten to the root and cannot be expected to be conscientious.

Not only that, but Xinghai seemed to have more to say, and kept some things unsaid.

Since it didn't say anything, there must be a reason why it didn't say it, so he didn't ask any more questions, and he knew very well that what Xinghai didn't say must be something worse and more terrifying-the scientific expedition team dumped him Entering the desert, can you walk out safely?

Who was Xinghai looking at when he glanced at the station wagon?

In the past few days, Fina seems to have become interested in the scientific expedition team's itinerary intentionally or unintentionally. The other elves will certainly not, but will it follow the scientific expedition team into the vast desert, and then never return?

A series of unthinkable events all originate in the here and now.

Of course, Zhang Zian had a choice. He could choose to turn around and leave, pretending that he didn't see the surfer. Anyway, the surfer is doing well now, and there is no danger for the time being.

As long as he doesn't call the police, the series of things that follow will not happen.

until the surfer's family and friends find him or her missing,

Then call the police, and wait for the police to find his or her car here. I am afraid that ten days and a half months have passed. After all, there are no surveillance cameras all over the streets and alleys in Egypt, and there are only a handful of traffic lights. At that time, Zhang Zian might They have all left Egypt and returned to China.

It is more likely that after receiving the report from the surfer's family, the Egyptian police did not take the surfer's disappearance seriously at all, and made excuses, saying that the surfer ran away from home. After all, they had collected protection fees and There are far more important things to do than extort tourists and line their pockets, while the surfer is lost forever, without a splash.

In 2013, a pair of Chinese mother and daughter who traveled to Egypt disappeared in Dahab, a holy diving site in the Red Sea. In order not to affect the tourism industry, the local government of Egypt initially said that they had smuggled into Israel, and it was not until 2017, four years later. The real culprit was found, and their bones were cold early. This was solved under the supervision of the Chinese embassy.

A missing local teen who cares but the family?

However, if Zhang Zian didn't know that the surfer was about to be in danger, it would be fine. Since Xinghai told him, but he watched the surfer being swept away by the sea and did not take any action, he might be punished by his conscience in the future. condemn.

Xinghai told him what was about to happen in advance, so he had a choice other than calling the police.

"Xinghai, you wait for me, I'll call him back."

Before the words were finished, Zhang Zian had already run towards the beach, stepped on the slippery rocks and walked into the slightly deeper water, let the sea water wet his pants, put his hands around his mouth, and shouted to the surfer: "Hey! Hurry up!" return!"

Under the roar of the storm and the tide, his voice was so feeble.

Zhang Zian yelled several times, but the surfer didn't hear him at all, so he lay on the surfboard and paddled in another direction.

Why do you want to row over there?

Zhang Zian didn't understand what the surfer was thinking, so he could only continue waving and shouting, hoping that the surfer would turn his head to look this way.

The storm further reduced the vision, and the silhouette of the surfer became more blurred, as if he was tired and rested on the surfboard.

At this time, Zhang Zian noticed an unusual scene - the surfboard was carrying the surfer away from the coast at an unusual speed.

what happened? How strong is the storm?

As a child who grew up by the sea, Zhang Zian doesn't understand the desert, but he understands the sea, and knows that there are many unknown dangers hidden in the sea, so there is a saying - bully the mountains, don't bully the water, which means that the dangers in the water are more dangerous than the dangers in the mountains Much bigger.

After a little observation, he finally realized it!

It's a rift!

Rift currents are also commonly known as rip currents, and 80% to 90% of seaside drownings are caused by this notorious undercurrent.

As the name suggests, a rip current is an undercurrent that rushes towards the sea. This undercurrent is often hidden under the water surface, and there are hardly any clues to be seen from the water surface.

However, rip currents are not without features. On the coast, if most areas are windy and choppy, but there is an area that is unusually calm, then there may be fierce rip currents lurking underwater in this area. .

But people tend to instinctively feel safe when they see calm waters. If they go swimming in that sea area deliberately, it may lead to tragedy due to lack of preparation.

The rip current is formed by the terrain, and most of it is shaped like a funnel. If a large amount of seawater is poured in, it will accelerate the return flow from the funnel mouth.

No matter how strong a swimmer is, once he is caught in a rip current, it is like being pinched by a water ghost. If he does not use flippers and other swimming props, trying to resist the rip current with his own strength is tantamount to Idiots talk about dreams.

To make matters worse, rip currents are affected by weather and other ocean currents, and carry a lot of sediment themselves. When the sediment is deposited, it will change its position and flow direction, making it elusive.

If you are unfortunately caught in a rip current, the most important thing is to keep a calm mind and not try to swim back to the shore because of panic, it is impossible, you will only sink into the sea due to exhaustion, the only way to survive is to swim to the shore. Swim sideways and try to escape from the direction perpendicular to the rip current, but this chance is also quite slim, because the rip current can sometimes be hundreds of meters wide, and it is difficult to keep track of the direction.

Zhang Zian didn't plan to swim in the water when he came to Mahru this time, and he definitely wouldn't wear flippers. If he jumped into the sea on impulse, he would probably end up in the same way.
