Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1346 Falling into the Sea

Carmel's heart pounded, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. As they rounded a bend, he glanced in the rearview mirror.

The two cars behind were chasing closely, especially the Dodge Viper, which was a supercar with much better performance and speed than his beat-up car.

And that...

Wait, where's the motorcycle?!

"Mr. Akai, that motorcycle is missing!" Cameron quickly reported.

"Hmm?" Shuichi Akai's eyes quickly swept across the electronic map, and he instantly understood the other party's intention. "The other party may have gone ahead to intercept you. Step on the gas and break through before they arrive. Turn left at the next three-way intersection!"

"learn!"

Carmel pressed the accelerator hard, accelerating the car again.

Vodka shouted, "Brother, he's accelerating again!"

Gin sneered, his eyes icy: "Looks like the rats have discovered Vermouth's going to block the road ahead. No need to worry..."

Gin watched as Cameron's car turned left, his smile growing increasingly cruel: "As expected, it went that way, to Haiying Parking Lot!"

"Vermouth, go to Haiying's parking lot!"

"Understood," Vermouth's voice came through the radio.

Three cars, one in front and two behind, entered the tunnel at Haiying Parking Lot. The tunnel was short and they passed through quickly.

"Mr. Akai, I'm about to pass through the tunnel in Haiying Parking Lot. What's the next step?"

Shuichi Akai looked at the electronic map and gave directions: "There's a road to the right of the parking lot that leads out. Go that way."

"understood."

Carmel responded, and the car drove out of the tunnel and onto a slope. Just as he was about to look for the road that Shuichi Akai had mentioned, he was surprised to see a motorcycle parked on the slope.

Two women dressed in tight leather outfits were also sitting on the motorcycle.

Normally, Carmel might have taken a second look at her curvaceous figure, but unfortunately, he wasn't in the mood for it now.

Because the woman on the back of the motorcycle was pointing a silenced pistol at him.

"biu!"

In the darkness, a flash of light appeared, and a bullet pierced the glass, striking Carmel's arm and splattering blood.

Carmel grunted, and the car instantly went out of control, crashing through the guardrail on the shore and plunging into the sea.

The Porsche and Dodge Viper also arrived.

Several people got out of the car.

Looking at the bubbling water, Chianti revealed a gloating expression: "Hahaha, the FBI guys are nothing special, after all that running around, they still got taken care of, didn't they?"

At that moment, Cohen suddenly spoke up: "I feel like I've seen this guy somewhere before."

On Dazun Street, the two cars drove head-on. As a sniper, Cohen's eyesight was naturally much better than that of an average person, so he saw Carmel's face.

However, because the other person was wearing a beret and the headlights were obstructing the view, I couldn't see their face clearly.

Rena Mizunashi's heart tightened. Of all the FBI agents Cohen had met, apart from a few important figures like Shuichi Akai, the rest had all died at the hands of the organization.

If it were Shuichi Akai or the others, Korn could have just said their names; there was no need for all this talk.

Therefore, the only person that Rena Mizunashi could think of was the burly FBI agent who had been responsible for transporting her.

"Really? Cohen." Rena Mizunashi asked calmly, though she was actually a little nervous inside.

Cohen: "Well, I'd remember if I could just look at it again."

A hint of worry flashed in Rena Mizunashi's eyes, and at the same time, she made up her mind—she couldn't let them meet.

“That’s interesting,” Gin said with a sneer. “Then we must retrieve this FBI agent’s body so I can have a good look at his death.”

···

"Carmel, Carmel!"

Carmel woke up with a start, and he thought he heard someone calling his name.

“Andrei Kamel!” Judy called out to herself over the radio.

"Judy?"

"Great, Carmel, you're alive."

A loud bang suddenly came over the radio, and then Cameron went silent. Everyone was very worried.

Hearing Cameron's voice, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Carmel replied, "I should still be in Haiying parking lot. I and my car have overturned into the sea. It's still sinking."

Looking at the seawater that had already reached his chest, Carmel said anxiously, "I need to figure out how to get out of the car first..."

He tried to pull the handle, but the car door showed no sign of opening, and the window glass wouldn't roll down, so he couldn't get out of the window.

Carmel immediately reported the situation to Judy and asked her what to do.

"The water's up to my chin!"

"This..." Judy panicked, not knowing what to do for a moment.

At this moment, Yusaku Kudo calmly analyzed, "The car door can't be opened because of the water pressure. The window can't be opened because the electrical system is malfunctioning due to water ingress, or it could be because the water pressure is too high and the glass is stuck in the window frame."

"It seems impossible to open the car door and get out normally."

"What should we do?" Judy panicked.

Shuichi Akai said, "Carmel, quickly think of a way to break the window. Is there anything usable in the storage box?"

Carmel tilted his head back to avoid getting his mouth and nose submerged in water, shouting, "They only put out maps and stuff... glug!" The water rushed in so fast that it gulped down his throat.

At this moment, Yu also spoke up: "Quickly unbuckle your seatbelt and let your body float up. Breathe in the air on the roof before the water completely rises up."

Carmel thought to himself that this was just waiting to die, but he still unbuckled his seatbelt as a dying wish, and then said anxiously, "But if this continues, the air will eventually run out."

Moreover, once the water reaches his head, he will be completely doomed.

"Calm down," Yu said in a low voice. "Just wait until the water level is about 20 centimeters from the roof of the car. At that time, the water pressure inside and outside the car will be the same, and then we can open the door and get out."

Everyone looked on with a look of sudden realization.

Carmel was floating in the water, tilting his head back to breathe the remaining air on the roof of the car, while shouting, "But, but it's already less than 20 centimeters!"

"That's good. Now take a deep breath, then open the car door and get out."

Carmel did as instructed and was surprised to find that the car door actually opened. He quickly climbed out of the car.

Carmel's radio was waterproof, so it would still work even if it fell into the sea. He heard Shuichi Akai say, "Those guys are probably still on the shore monitoring the situation. Swim as far as you can before surfacing."

Carmel held his breath and deliberately swam across the waterway of Haiying Parking Lot, swimming a distance before surfacing on the other side.

He immediately reported the situation: "I swam out from the south by passing under the Haiying parking lot."

Shuichi Akai breathed a sigh of relief: "Very good, now you can slowly swim towards the shore."

"Understood," Carmel replied, and swam with the current toward the distant shore.
