Chapter 107: Dangerous River Crossing
Chapter 107: Dangerous River Crossing
Hearing the shouts of the man in black, everyone's heart tightened instantly. The sound seemed like a death warrant from hell, making everyone's nerves tense to the extreme.
Ruan Jianan took a deep breath and said, "Don't be afraid, hold on to the branches and cross the river carefully!" He was the first to step into the stream, and the cold water instantly penetrated his bones. His brows were furrowed, his teeth were tightly biting his lips, but his eyes were full of determination.
Lin Yanan followed closely behind, her face pale and her lips trembling, "Jian'an, I'm scared." Her voice was tearful, and her hands were tightly gripping the branches, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Ruan Jianan stretched out his hand, "Yanan, hold on to me, step by step." His voice was gentle and firm, giving Lin Yanan a little courage. His arms trembled slightly in the water, but he still tried to keep steady.
Cheng Feng and Qin Hao also walked into the water carefully. The water was turbulent and their bodies were shaking constantly. Cheng Feng's face showed a nervous look, his eyes fixed on the front. Qin Hao gritted his teeth and tried to control his balance.
The stranger led the way. "Hold steady, don't get swept away by the current!" His voice was particularly loud amid the sound of the rushing water. His steps were firm, guiding the people behind him.
Lin Yanan slipped and fell forward. "Ah!" Her scream echoed in the valley, full of fear.
Ruan Jianan was quick to pull her back, "Be careful!" He pulled Lin Yanan hard, and the veins on his arm bulged. The moment Lin Yanan was pulled back, she threw herself into Ruan Jianan's arms, her body shaking constantly.
The crowd struggled to move forward in the water, and every step was full of danger. The water flow constantly hit their bodies, making it difficult for them to move forward.
Just then, the man in black chased to the stream.
"Stop, don't run!" They began to shoot into the river, the bullets splashing in the water, making a "puff puff" sound.
Everyone's heart was in their throat. Lin Yanan screamed in fear, "What should we do? They're shooting!"
"Speed up!" the strange man shouted, his voice full of urgency and nervousness.
Ruan Jianan protected Lin Yanan and walked forward desperately. His eyes were full of determination, and he had only one thought in his mind: he must protect Lin Yanan.
Qin Hao's leg was grazed by a bullet. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry about me, you go first!" His face was distorted by pain, but he still insisted on not letting himself fall down.
Cheng Feng shouted, "No, we can't leave you behind!" His voice was full of determination and righteousness.
The current was getting faster and faster, and everyone's strength was gradually exhausted. Ruan Jianan felt that his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and every step he took required great effort. Lin Yanan's breathing became rapid and disordered, and her eyes began to become blurred.
The strange man looked back and said, "Hold on, we'll be on the other side soon!"
However, the other side still seemed so far away, as if it would never be reached.
Bullets flew past, and the splashing water hit my face, cold and stinging.
Lin Yanan's steps were getting slower and slower, "Jian'an, I really can't walk anymore..." Her voice was weak and powerless.
Ruan Jianan hugged her tightly, "Yanan, come on, we can definitely get through it!" His voice was hoarse due to fatigue, but full of encouragement.
Cheng Feng and Qin Hao were also supporting each other and trying hard to keep up with the team.
Suddenly, a large rock rushed down from upstream...
