Just like that, everyone sat there quietly with their eyes closed, tidying up their belongings and preparing for the final gamble. These few minutes felt so comfortable for the young snakehead for the past few decades. The sky was silent and beautiful.
" Be prepared. Remember, you only have five minutes. Follow me as fast as you can. Don't speak and don't fall behind. If anything happens, we can only leave it to fate." After saying this, the young snakehead made a gesture of preparing to charge forward. Looking at the serious expression on the snakehead's face, everyone felt nervous, but they still prepared themselves to be in their best state. Their fate was on the line here. Whether they succeeded or not, it would change their future path. Xia Qiu was also prepared. At this time, no one would come to take care of a young boy like him. At this critical moment when he was risking his life, taking care of himself was the best way to survive. Xia Qiu didn't need anyone to take care of her, as long as no one stood in her way.
" Get ready," the young snakehead said. He looked at the timetable in his hand and then looked at the armed police in the distance. The moment the armed police turned around and disappeared, he said," Let's go." The young snakehead rushed forward at high speed, followed by the people behind him. Xia Qiu also followed him. As the crowd in front ran on a specific route, other than the messy footsteps and panting, there was no other sound.
The young snakehead ran to a dense pile of weeds and pulled hard. After pulling away the weeds, the entrance to a hole appeared in front of them. The young snakehead then burrowed into the hole. Everyone followed suit. After a short period of darkness, they saw the prosperous Hill City that was like stars. Opposite them was Hill City, the Hill City that many people dreamed of. Everyone was shocked by the prosperous lights on the opposite side. Even Xia Qiu was surprised for a while. After all, these years, there were only barren mountains. The sudden prosperity in front of him made him feel like he had returned to the human world.
" What are you still dreaming about? You'll be from Gang City once you swim across the river. You'll have plenty of time to look around in the future. There's only two minutes left before the armed police shift ends," the young snakehead said anxiously. Only then did everyone rush into the river as if they had just woken up from a dream. Seeing that everyone had already swam to the other side of the river, the young snakehead revealed a strange smile on his face. He drilled into the hole, then covered the messy grass and disappeared into the vast night.
Xia Qiu was the first one to reach the shore. She didn't dare to run away on the road just now, afraid that she would accidentally step on something like an alarm. In the end, she could only run behind others. But now that he was in the river, there was no one blocking his way. In addition, he did not have any luggage, so he swam very fast. In less than a minute, he had already reached the shore. Lying on the shore, he looked at the stowaways who were still swimming up and down in the river in the vast night. He couldn't help but thank the Taoist priest again. The Taoist priest's cultivation method had given Xia Qiu an extraordinary physique.
" Ah, there's something in the river. Ah, ah, it's a shark, it's a shark! Save me!" Upon hearing this, everyone was like a clockwork machine, swimming forward at an accelerated speed. In comparison, they would rather eat a bullet than face the shark. The fear of this animal was too strong.
Xia Qiu was also shocked. This was an inland river. How could there be a shark here? Had the shark gone crazy from hunger? Suspicion aside, Xia Qiu used his cultivation technique to take a look. The result shocked him. What kind of shark was that? It was clearly a crocodile. Xia Qiu had the urge to curse. How could there be a crocodile in this godforsaken place? What made him even more speechless was the two people trapped in the river. One was a man and the other was a woman. It should be a girl. The man was in his twenties, and the woman was fifteen or sixteen. However, the problem was that there were a lot of bags. It seemed that they had been living a hard life for too long. These bottles and jars were something that he carried with him. Damn it, bringing so much junk to Gang City to fish for the world, wasn't that dragging him down?
It would be too cruel if he didn't save two lives. Xia Qiu couldn't let go of this thought in her heart.'Damn you, bottles and jars are killing me, they're killing me.' With a plop, Xia Qiu cursed and swam quickly towards the middle of the river. At this moment, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly sounded from the other side of the river. The noise had already alerted the armed police on the shore. The searchlights quickly shone over, but when the searchlights shone in the middle of the river, all the armed police were stunned by the situation in the river. They saw two people floating in the middle of the river, and a crocodile was wandering beside them. The crocodile seemed to be considering which one to eat first, or both. This was the first time the armed police had seen such a situation. They did not expect there to be such a ferocious animal like a crocodile in this river.
" Captain, save them." An armed police officer looked at the captain next to him. They hoped that their captain would approve of their rescue operation. In fact, these armed police officers had seen too many stowaways over the years. If they were lucky, they would turn a blind eye. If they were unlucky and met with a gun, there was nothing they could do. They were all people who could not survive in the country. There was no need to make things difficult for these poor people.
" They've crossed the border. Get two assault boats down and have them swim back three meters. As long as they swim back three meters, we'll save them. If they can't swim back, then it's up to fate." the captain said softly.
" Yes." After saying that, he hurriedly went down to arrange the rescue.
Xia Qiu was already close to the two people in the river, but the crocodile was still swimming. It did not attack them, nor did it retreat. It seemed to be waiting for something. Xia Qiu searched his entire body. He regretted not bringing a weapon with him. Other than a book wrapped in oil paper, he only had a slingshot. It was used to hunt wild animals and was useless in the water.
While he was panicking, he saw the woman in the middle holding a bamboo pole. It was used to carry their luggage, but now it had become their weapon. While the crocodile's attention was on the two of them, Xia Qiu held his breath and quickly swam towards them. He knew that as long as he had a weapon in his hand, his chances of survival would be much higher.
However, at this moment, the man in the river suddenly pushed the girl forward, while he quickly swam towards the shore with the rebound force. F * ck, this was a typical case of a friend dying but not a poor one. This man was really black.
" Ah!" The girl let out a cry of surprise, as if she had not expected such a turn of events. By the time she reacted, her body was already very close to the crocodile. Looking at the crocodile's mouth that was so close, she knew that it would be difficult for her to escape. She did not expect that the person who betrayed her in the end would be the person she cared about the most. The traces of her life quickly changed in her mind like a projector. She was originally a student in the capital, but she was sent here too early because of politics. But life in the countryside was boring.
The result of her depression was her imagination. At this time, the man who pushed her to the crocodile's mouth walked into her life. The two of them fell in love in a daze. Although they did not go to the point of eating forbidden fruit, their hearts belonged to someone else. The two of them occasionally held hands. In this era, holding hands was not allowed, and puppy love was despised. The two of them broke these two rules, and rumors followed. In order to avoid rumors, In order to achieve a happy ending, the two of them decided to go south to get married. In short, the ideal was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. At this dangerous moment, the man who belonged to her decisively pushed her to death.
She thought of the man who usually sweet-talked her and made a vow of eternal love. She thought of the man who tricked her into going to Gang City to live a new life with him. At this moment, her heart was filled with a strong sense of unwillingness. This man had lied to her. This man had pushed her into the crocodile's mouth.
Li Yuanchao, you bastard, I won't let you off even if I become a ghost." After shouting this sentence, he quietly closed his eyes and waited for the arrival of death. He just hoped that it would not be too painful when he died. Xia Qiu felt like there were ten thousand f ** king horses flying over her head. She had just thought of a way to save him, but that man had ruined it. At this moment, she could not care less. Saving him was more important. Xia Qiu quickly swam to the crocodile's side. He didn't care if it was useful or not. He raised his hand and threw a punch at the crocodile. This punch contained his cultivation technique. Even in the water, it had a strength of more than 100 pounds. The crocodile's attention was all on the girl. Suddenly, its back was hit by gravity. It immediately felt its internal organs churn.
The crocodile was suddenly frightened and used its best instinct to roll to death. It was like a spinning ball rolling in the water, as if rolling like this was the only way to feel more comfortable.
