"Zi, zi, zi", just when all the audience thought that the movie was over, Paul was buried alive like this, and the title of the movie was followed, but the vibration of the mobile phone came again, which suddenly rekindled the hope of every audience, but the urgent restlessness was forcibly suppressed, lest any sound would miss the next reversal.

Chanel always complains that the male protagonist of Hollywood movies will never die, like an immortal cockroach, which is really disgusting, but at this moment, she hopes like never before that the film can be a little more clichéd, follow the usual Hollywood ending, and let Paul live. Her hands clenched into fists, so hard that her muscles began to ache.
On the other end of the phone, there was the kidnapper. The army killed another group of people, and Paul's hope was once again rekindled.
However, the kidnappers demanded that Paul must record a video and cut off his fingers, or they would never give up - they knew Paul's address, the address where Linda and Sean lived. Paul's heart stiffened, and his eyes burst out with a brighter light than hope, threatening the kidnappers inwardly, thinking that they were merely scaring him, but he did not dare to take any chances.
The sand leaked faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye, Paul's body was already buried, and he immediately dialed Linda's mobile phone to warn them to leave quickly, otherwise staying at home would be in danger of their lives, and the coffin lid in front of him was full of holes, and the sand was like a river, falling down in large patches, completely burying him at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Later, Paul dialed Dan's phone, but it was a recording, and he could only quickly tell Dan that the kidnappers were still alive, and it was too late for them to give him only five minutes to record the video.
Chanel couldn't help but look away, she knew that Paul would do this, he would do it. The torment and pain in her heart made her feel terrified, looking at Tessa who covered her eyes with her hands but couldn't help but watch through the gap, Chanel still forced herself to look at the big screen again, and then she saw-
Paul bit the strip of cloth and cut off the little finger of his left hand with all his might, but because the bone was so hard that it kept cutting, he had to start back and forth, trying to break the bone with the blade, the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow burst to the extreme in the muffled shouting, and she could even see Paul's pupils begin to dilate, and he fell into a brief blank space because of the pain, and the sweat on his forehead made his cheeks blurry.
Chanel couldn't hold back any longer, hot tears slid down, her stomach was churning, as if she could vomit out all of today's lunch at any time, the kind of fear to the extreme, the tension to the extreme, the dazedness made her thoughts completely out of control.
After sending the video, Paul fell into a semi-comatose state, his eyes were still open, but the focus and focus had been lost, just looking at the sand that kept falling above, burying his head little by little, as if he could clearly see the process of the air gradually dissipating, but Paul still did not react, lying lifeless, time and space seemed to have lost their meaning.
The phone vibrated again, but Paul still didn't respond, just calmly waited for death to come, hope to be ignited again and again, and then extinguished, which seemed to have killed all of Paul's strength. Even Chanel, even Gavin, and even Bradley fell into stagnation, just opening their mouths wide and watching life slowly dissipate in those pupils, as if the whole world was falling apart, so shocked that language lost its color, and even emotions lost their vitality.
"Get around, quick, quick!" the cry came from far and near, and the whole coffin began to shake, and then the sound became clear, and a ray of sunlight broke through the darkness and spilled down, driving the paleness and stiffness of death away from Paul's cheeks, "I see him!
Saved, hostages saved, Paul saved, "Talk to me, Paul! Talk to me!" Dan's voice rang out above.
Chanel raised her hand to cover her mouth, but even so, the sound of whimpering leaked out. He was saved, he was finally saved, and the joy of the rest of her life made all of Chanel's defenses shattered, and her tears broke completely, and if she hadn't covered her mouth, she would have just wanted to cry out loud at the moment.
"Whew. With a loud sound, the sunlight faded, and the picture changed back to Paul's face, the helpless numbness in his eyes was still sluggish and paused, and Chanel's crying suddenly stopped.
So everything is an illusion?
The thought hit Gavin like a comet hitting the earth, so hard that he was completely stunned, even his breath had been completely forgotten, and the confusion and bewilderment in his eyes echoed, who could tell him that this was not true? None of this was true? Paul was saved, Paul should be saved!
Paul picked up the phone, and on the other end of the line was Dan, his voice was full of urgency, "Paul, we're going to look for you now, do you hear me? We know where you are!"
"You're coming?" Paul was a little overwhelmed.
"Yes, Paul. Dan's phone came with the sound of car tires rolling rapidly, and the roar of the engine was full of life, "We're coming!"
Gavin couldn't help but stand up in excitement, but his ass had just left his chair, and then he sat down again, his hands clenched into fists, the fear that wrapped around his body seemed to be torn to shreds at this moment, and the cold blood began to run wildly again, and the joy that spurted out made him unable to help himself.
"The coalition forces had just captured a Shiite rebel outside Baghdad, and he said he knew of an American who had been buried alive. As soon as we let him go, he agreed to take us there. ”
Dan's explanation finally brought Paul back to his senses, and he began to look up and down, trying to find a gap in the sand, as if he could get out of the trap in the next second, "You are coming to me?" Paul's voice was hoarse, dry as if it had emerged from the depths of the earth, but the broken eyes were reassembled little by little, and the deep blankness found its brilliance again.
"We're basically there. Dan said confidently.
"You ...... Uh, you have to hurry, hurry up......" Paul's eyes flashed with a thin halo that seemed to be a layer of moisture and seemed to have a little bit of life, "you guys...... You...... Sand...... Sand ......"
"You just have to wait another three minutes, just three minutes, and we'll be there!" Dan kept giving Paul hope, which made Paul's voice tremble, "Good, good, I believe in you!"
"Three minutes, just three minutes!" Dan kept emphasizing, but Paul saw the call coming from his cell phone, and had to cut Dan's phone call, and then answered, "Linda! Linda!" Paul's whole body became vivid, as if he had come from the hell of death, and vitality erupted from the words.
Chanel couldn't stop crying, she never knew that she would be moved to tears by such a Hollywood-style reunion, she never knew that she would be ecstatic at such a vulgar happy ending, but at this moment, when Paul called out his wife's name with life, she was truly moved and burst into tears.
"Paul, what the hell have they done to you? Tell me, you're okay. I just saw the news and I forgot my phone at home. Linda was speechless, choked with tears, her voice trembled slightly, and her words didn't match the afterword.
"They know where I am, they're coming, the Americans are coming for me. Paul also wept with joy and smiled again, the sand was getting fuller, and his chest had been completely buried, and now there was only one face left on it, and he could keep breathing, but Paul didn't care, and laughed brightly, comforting his wife, "I'll be fine, I'll be fine!"
"Thank God, thank God!" Linda had completely broken down on the other side, her cry drowning out her words.
"They're coming, they're on the way, it's going to be fine, everything is going to be okay. Paul kept repeating, repeating firmly, and his pupils burst with dazzling brilliance, as if he could escape in the next second, "I love you, I love you very much." I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been here, I really should have listened to you. The thick nasal voice leaked Paul's guilt and excitement at the moment, and dry tears welled up again.
"Honey, I don't care, I just want you to go home, go home quickly!" Linda called affectionately.
"I'll go home. Paul said, "I promise, I promise!" and then Dan called again, Paul had to cut the phone, and Linda's urgent voice came, "I love you, I really love you, dear, and promise me!"
"I promise!" Paul's voice choked up, and his breathing stopped in an instant, it seemed like only a millisecond, it seemed like another century, and then he answered Dan's phone, and the sound of a shovel came from the other end of the phone, and Dan said excitedly, "Here we are, here we are." Paul, hold on, hold on!"
The whole coffin had been stuffed, only a thin slit remained, and Paul's cheeks had been buried in the sand, "You must hurry, the sand is full." ”
"Hold on, Paul, and we are above you. Dan continued to cheer Paul on, "Almost, almost! We saw the coffin, we saw it!"
"Hurry, hurry!" Paul could no longer hold on, the light of the flashlight was gradually buried, Paul pressed tightly against the coffin board, his voice became more earnest, more urgent, and weaker, "Open, open, quick." "He could clearly touch the light of life, and the darkness of death was chasing him behind him, one step, one step, and he could escape. "Hurry, hurry, God!"
"Oh my God. Dan's voice came, full of despair...... Silence, long silence, silence that plunged the world into coldness, "I'm sorry, Paul. It's Mark White. He took us to the site where Mark White was buried alive. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. ”
The sand completely buried the flashlight, the last rays of light disappeared, and then, the entire coffin was filled. Paul, too, is gone. The big screen, once again plunged into darkness.
Gavin froze, Chanel froze, Tessa froze, everyone in the whole screening room froze, everything came too suddenly, they were lifted up high, and then smashed down, all hope was smashed into countless pieces, and then froze in place, their heads stopped running, and even their souls were completely stiff.
Gavin felt a suffocation, cold fear consuming his brain.
