Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2119: Chapter 2116: Rescue Team

Lin Tian didn’t contact the rescue team. Instead, he reached out directly to Ou Qinglan. Given his current situation, if the rescue team saw him, they’d report it to the police for sure, leading to all sorts of trouble. It’s better to turn to Ou Qinglan, she can handle such matters well.

Moreover, he didn’t return to the country through official channels, so he’d need Ou Qinglan’s help to sort things out. It was already past 2 a.m., and although disturbing a pretty girl’s sleep wasn’t ideal, in Zhonghai City, Ou Qinglan was the most suitable choice.

The phone was answered after just one ring, surprising Lin Tian. Shouldn’t she be asleep?

"Lin Tian?" Ou Qinglan’s hesitant voice echoed, probably not expecting a call from Lin Tian so late.

"Sister Qing haven’t slept yet?" Lin Tian asked instinctively, but felt it was too intimate after asking. However, the thought quickly passed, given he was still at sea.

"I’m handling some company business. Do you need something?" Ou Qinglan asked curiously.

"Cough..." Lin Tian hesitated for a moment and said somewhat awkwardly, "I fell into the sea and need your rescue team."

There was the sound of something dropping on the other end of the line, likely because Ou Qinglan stood up too quickly and knocked something over. Her voice followed, tense and urgent, "Where are you? I’m coming right away!"

She didn’t ask for details or the backstory, just got straight to the point—such is the style of the strong woman Ou Qinglan. Anyone else might have asked a hundred questions.

Listening to her anxious tone, Lin Tian felt touched but remained calm, "I’ll send the coordinates right away. Actually, you don’t need to come; just arrange the rescue team. Keep their actions confidential for now."

Ou Qinglan said nothing and hung up the phone, clearly waiting for Lin Tian’s coordinates. Lin Tian immediately had Little Ya send the latitude and longitude.

All that was left was to wait, in the vast night sky, on the boundless ocean, with only him and a fish floating there, seeming both lonely and mysterious.

Lin Tian chatted intermittently with the Sword Spirit; this was when being a chatterbox came in handy. If not for the talkative Sword Spirit, he wouldn’t have been able to pass the waiting time.

After an unknown length of time, a faint point of light appeared in the far distance. The light gradually approached, accompanied by the sound of motor propellers faintly heard.

The great white shark below him became somewhat agitated. Many marine creatures can recognize the sound of boats and avoid them, acting on the instinct to benefit and avoid harm.

Lin Tian patted its head, soothingly saying, "Don’t worry, they won’t hurt you."

"Master, at the moment, you are the one hurting it," the Sword Spirit retorted since the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, transformed into the "Sea Emperor Trident," was still embedded in the great white shark’s head.

"As compensation, how about I feed you to the great white shark?" Lin Tian deliberately frightened it, and sure enough, the Sword Spirit dared not retort further.

The sound of the motor’s propellers grew closer, and Lin Tian could fully recognize the "light point’s" entirety—it was a cruise ship, with the Ou family emblem painted on its side.

The cruise ship was moving very fast, obviously at full throttle, spraying waves several meters high, and someone stood at the bow, looking out, their clothes and hair fluttering in the sea breeze.

This time, the great white shark became agitated again, even spouting water, displaying strong hostility. Great white sharks, being man-eaters, have strong aggression, forcing Lin Tian to soothe and calm it once more.

Before the cruise ship got close, a few people suddenly appeared by the side of the ship, all wearing reflective life jackets as rescue team members. They became tense upon spotting Lin Tian with the shark, given the shark’s triangular dorsal fin was too conspicuous.

However, they hadn’t realized the shark had been subdued, merely thinking Lin Tian was trapped by the shark and in danger. Additionally, they couldn’t tell it was a great white shark, as most of its body was still submerged.

The cruise ship finally drew near, and the rescue team members equipped themselves with tranquilizer guns, aiming at the great white shark, preparing to "rescue" Lin Tian.

Lin Tian raised his head and saw Ou Qinglan at the ship’s bow, and he couldn’t help shouting, "Sister Qing, tell them not to attack."

"But you..." Ou Qinglan was somewhat anxious, actually puzzled as to why the shark hadn’t attacked Lin Tian. The rescue team all looked at her, awaiting her orders.

"Trust me!" Lin Tian shouted with certainty.

Ou Qinglan waved her hand, and the rescue team lowered their tranquilizer guns. She turned and ran back into the ship, followed by other team members, and soon, the side of the cruise ship slowly opened.

Taking advantage of the night, Lin Tian retrieved the Heavenly Tribulation Sword. Nonetheless, the great white shark was clearly subdued by Lin Tian’s authority; even when retrieved, it dared not act excessively.

The side finally opened completely, Ou Qinglan came out with her rescue team, accompanied by doctors and nurses in white coats, and the searchlights on the ship illuminated Lin Tian’s stretch of water brightly.

Lin Tian patted the great white shark, signalling it to surface, and the great white shark understood, slowly rising, its massive body finally revealed to all present.

The rescue team and doctors and nurses were dumbfounded, scared, followed by a little nurse’s shriek, piercing the night sky.

"Ah... the shark’s coming over..."

"So... so big..."

"Great white shark!" It was the rescue team with experience who finally recognized the shark’s identity, but at this shout, it scared everyone else even more.

In both movies and reality, great white sharks have an infamous reputation, known for their ferocity.

"Rescue hands, prepare the javelins, protect Miss." A bearded man shouted, seemingly the rescue team leader, and ’Miss’ naturally referred to Ou Qinglan.

Ou Qinglan pushed them aside, stepped forward, calmly said, "Stand down, put away the javelins!"

This display by the beautiful strong woman left Lin Tian somewhat surprised, clearly, she was calmer than the rescue team, with greater insight, seemingly realizing the relationship between Lin Tian and the great white shark.

This is why Lin Tian informed her; if it was only the rescue team, things might have turned worse.

Lin Tian stood up, slid down from the great white shark’s head, then flipped onto the ship’s deck, as the rescue team and doctors and nurses stared.

However, the next scene stunned them even more.

Lin Tian waved his hand suavely, "Off you go." He was speaking to the great white shark.

However, the shark shook its massive body slightly, didn’t leave, and instead opened its enormous mouth, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth to everyone present, causing everyone to tense up again.

Lin Tian waved his hand, indicating they shouldn’t act rashly. Instead, he walked under the shark’s great jaws, curiously asking, "Buddy, what do you want me to do?"

The shark shook its head again, keeping its mouth agape, as though expressing something. Lin Tian was moved, peering into its mouth and finally discovered a large seashell wedged between its teeth.

The shark’s tooth gaps were huge, and the shell was also large, just enough to get stuck there. Moreover, the shell’s edge had cut into the shark’s tooth roots, which were already red, swollen, and festering.

"So that’s it." Lin Tian laughed, then leaped and jumped into the shark’s mouth.

Everyone screamed in fear, this time, even Ou Qinglan couldn’t remain calm.
