That was a red dot.
From far to near, the red dot was rapidly approaching Sea Mountain 102.
All the crew members' hearts tightened.
What was it?
Where did this sudden red dot come from?
Suddenly, the red dot disappeared.
A crew member almost cried out.
But then, the red dot reappeared stubbornly from the depths of the sea.
It would appear and disappear.
Sometimes it would surface, and sometimes it would sink.
When it got closer to Sea Mountain 102, the red dot no longer disappeared but moved steadily and quickly through the waves.
"Shark! Shark!" Old Wu could hardly believe his eyes.
Was it a hallucination caused by the tension in the crisis?
He actually saw a shark:
A great white shark!
That wasn't unusual.
Even seeing a great white shark in such rough seas wasn't unusual.
What was unusual was that the great white shark was emitting a dazzling red light!
Who had ever seen a shark that could glow?
As it approached Sea Mountain 102, the red light suddenly became brighter.
The great white shark suddenly leaped out of the water and then fell back into the sea with a heavy splash.
What was it doing?
The great white shark swam forward for a distance, then stopped, turned its massive body, and stared motionlessly at Sea Mountain 102.
No one could figure out its true purpose.
The great white shark seemed impatient, circling Sea Mountain 102, then swam forward a bit more, stopped again, and turned back.
"It's leading the way!" Old Wu shouted.
These crew members were all experienced seafarers. They had heard of dolphins and whales saving people, but who had ever heard of a shark saving people?
"Follow this shark!" Old Wu shouted hoarsely.
Whether the great white shark was leading the way or not, it was now their only hope...
---
Lei Xihuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He saw that Sea Mountain 102 had finally set off.
That was the only plan he could think of to get Sea Mountain 102 out of danger without exposing himself and Little Fat.
Using the great white shark to guide the cruise ship out.
And Little Fat was lying on the great white shark.
The red light reappeared on Little Fat's body.
If the last time the red light appeared was due to the anger of the divine dragon, causing the sky to split and the earth to crack, then this time it was a red light of rescue.
It was the red light of life!
Lei Xihuan followed the great white shark and Sea Mountain 102 closely underwater.
Little Fat exerted all his strength, turning his body into a ball of flame.
A flame dancing on the sea surface.
The waves grew higher and higher. In the dark sea, this ball of flame represented the hope of survival.
It seemed to make the crew see more clearly, the great white shark would occasionally leap out of the water, making the flame burn in the sky.
Sea Mountain 102 didn't know why the great white shark was emitting red light or where it was leading them, but now it was their last hope.
The cruise ship followed closely behind the great white shark, and the crew members didn't dare to blink.
They were afraid that if they blinked, the flame would disappear...
This was a day they would never forget, a day when a great white shark, the king of the sea, a man-eating monster, was leading them forward...

"Power 8, Power 8, this is Power 7, any discoveries on the surface?"
"Power 7, this is Power 8, nothing discovered."
"Hope is fading... The typhoon will arrive in an hour... The wind on the surface is getting stronger, visibility is zero... I have suggested to the command center to return after another 20 minutes of searching, wishing Sea Mountain 102 good luck..."
"May the Buddha in Dafosi Temple bless them... Wait, I think I see something... Am I seeing things? I think I saw a red object flashing in the distance..."
"A red object?"
"It disappeared... Wait, it's back... I'm not mistaken, it's a red light, and it's getting bigger... It's approaching us... Maintain communication, maintain communication... A shark? Is that a shark? Damn, I see a shark! A glowing shark!"
"Old Tang, are you sure?"
"I'm sure, it's a shark, my God, I really see a glowing shark... That's..."
Old Tang's voice on Power 8 suddenly rose: "Power 7, I see Sea Mountain 102!"
"What? Speak clearly!"
"Power 8, I see Sea Mountain 102! No mistake, it's Sea Mountain 102! Oh Lord, Sea Mountain 102 is being guided by a glowing great white shark... Power 8, approach me immediately! Power 8, repeat, I see Sea Mountain 102, approach me immediately!"

"Is your information correct?" Reporter Yu was taken aback. After receiving a positive response, he quickly said to the camera: "According to reliable sources, rescue ships Power 7 and Power 8 have found Sea Mountain 102... And incredibly, according to the information they sent back to the command center, Sea Mountain 102 was guided out of danger by a glowing great white shark. Power 7 and Power 8 are now fully engaged in the rescue..."
After speaking, he handed the microphone to Professor Pei: "Professor Pei, this is great news. As a marine expert, how do you view a great white shark guiding Sea Mountain 102 out of danger?"
"This..." Professor Pei swallowed: "We know that dolphins can save people because of their self-awareness, which helps them understand human emotions, sense human fear and pain, and even empathize with us... This great white shark might be similar..."
He himself probably didn't believe what he was saying.
We only hear about great white sharks eating people, who has ever heard of a great white shark saving people?
"Then, according to the information from the rescue ships, how do you explain the glowing on the great white shark?"
"We know that there are many bioluminescent organisms in the ocean..." Professor Pei gathered his spirits: "I speculate that some bioluminescent marine organisms might have attached to the great white shark..."
Such an explanation? Well, it's勉强应该说的通.
Since it's an expert saying it, what an expert says is always correct.
Who can we believe if not experts...

After leaving the storm area, all the instruments on Sea Mountain 102 magically resumed working.
The sound waves from Little Fat were gradually dissipating.
The great white shark seemed to know that Sea Mountain 102 was out of danger. It circled the cruise ship a few times and made one last high leap.
When it fell back into the sea, its massive body did not reappear.
The red light also disappeared.
A dorsal fin gradually vanished from the crew's sight...
"I will never eat shark meat again," Old Wu muttered.
In Sea Mountain, eating shark meat and drinking shark soup was common, available in all seafood stalls, usually small sharks weighing only four or five pounds, and not expensive.
But Old Wu and the crew of Sea Mountain 102 vowed at that moment never to harm sharks again, not only to avoid harming them but to protect them.
That was their savior... a shark!
And that eerie red light, they would never forget.
"Old Wu, communication with the rescue ship is established."
Old Wu calmed down and took the microphone: "This is Sea Mountain 102."
"Sea Mountain 102, this is rescue ship Power 7, congratulating you on your safe escape."
"Thank you. Power 7, there are patients on Sea Mountain 102, including a seriously ill little girl, who urgently need treatment."
"Understood, the sea is calmer here, we will set up a rescue deck, prepare to transport the patients. Then Power 8 will guide you to shore."
"Understood, we will prepare immediately."
Old Wu opened the microphone to the passenger cabin: "Passengers, I am pleased to inform you that Sea Mountain 102 is out of danger. Now, I need to transport the patients to the rescue ship. Please other passengers remain in the cabin, stay calm, we will soon reach the shore..."
A cheer erupted in the passenger cabin.
"I want to leave here, I want to leave here," Pang Shiqiang shouted first: "It's too dangerous here, too unsafe. I want to go to the rescue ship."
"Sir, although the waves have subsided somewhat, they are still very dangerous. The rescue deck setup time cannot be too long, so we must prioritize the patients."
Persuaded by the crew, Pang Shiqiang reluctantly calmed down.
Annie glared at the scumbag: "Xiaoli, quickly take the baby to the deck."
"Thank you, thank you," Han Xiaoli bowed repeatedly.
"Don't thank me, Jin Yan, come and help," Annie said, helping Han Xiaoli carry the baby.
The rescue deck was set up, and several crew members from Power 7 helped the patients put on life jackets and carefully led them to the rescue ship.
Some passengers also walked to the deck. Despite the harrowing experience, they were ultimately saved.
Being alive was better than anything.
Watching the baby being carried onto the rescue ship, Han Xiaili's heart finally relaxed: "Annie, thank you so much, once we reach the shore, I will thank you properly."
"Don't say that, Xiaoli, hurry, the baby can't wait."
Annie felt that this moment was the most beautiful, more joyful than any shopping spree.
Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the passengers on the deck, running towards the rescue deck: "I'm the boss, take me with you!"
He suddenly rushed onto the rescue deck, but he knocked into Annie, who was standing nearby.
"Ah—"
Unprepared, Annie was knocked off the deck by the sudden impact.
A splash of water rose, and a wave swept her away into the sea.
