Chapter 210: Breakout 2
As I ran wildly, the stone platform where the general's corpse sat soon appeared in front of me.
Dong Dahai behind me couldn't help but shout: "Brother, hurry up...... Hurry up and run to the platform, the top of the platform is ...... high"
According to common sense, what Dong Dahai said is indeed right, although the sea water has overflowed the barracks, but it is located on the top of the mountain, there is not much water to store, the sea water has been flowing out in the direction of the camp, I am also running wildly in the direction of the current, I climbed to the top of the platform and waited for the sea water to recede is the safest way.
But I didn't listen to Dong Dahai's words, and carried him all the way forward desperately.
Dong Dahai didn't know what I was going to do: "Brother, what are you running?"
"This place can't stay. Don't you speak......" I ran out without looking back, "think for yourself, can there be a dry corpse on the beach? Those three people must have died together, how can they not be the same level of corruption?"
Dried corpses can only be formed naturally when the climate is dry and there is very little precipitation, for example, the desert is the place where the most natural dried corpses are formed. In a place like the seaside, there are no conditions for the formation of dried corpses, and it is impossible to turn them into dried corpses if no one has disposed of them.
There were two others, one turned into a skeleton and the other shattered at the touch of a button. Could it be that two people died years apart? So how could they sit together?
Dong Dahai obviously misunderstood what I meant, and said in a frightened voice: "You mean that the general is still alive?"
"If he doesn't live, we all have to go...... Where did the road go?"
I had only been in the barracks for less than an hour, and the sea had already rushed to the same position as the cliff, and waves of sea water were still advancing on the top of the cliff, and the mountain road we had walked through had been completely submerged by the sea. It won't be long before the sea water will cover the barracks, and even if we climb to the high platform, it will be useless.
I was sweating in a hurry when I heard a bang like a dam bursting right in front of me. The water, which had almost reached my waist, rushed in one direction with a loud bang in an instant, and I didn't have time to hold my feet before I was pushed forward seven or eight paces away.
The moment I crossed the platform, the corpse of the general turned his head out of the corner of my eye and looked at my side with a sneer.
I secretly said "oh bad" in my heart, and quickly ran in the direction of the current. But before I could get far, my heart was half cold.
In front of me was not a mountain road at all, but a cliff, and the raging water was cascading like a waterfall to the bottom of the cliff. Just by the sound of falling into the water, I could tell that the height of the cliff from the sea was beyond my imagination, and jumping off it might be a dead end.
But it was too late for me to turn back, and a large number of red-capped hats were already drifting down the current. With my current state, it is impossible to fight my way out of the encirclement by myself, not to mention that I still have a Dong Dahai with me.
I had no choice but to try to rush to the edge of the cliff, and as the cliff mouth approached, a rock large enough for us to settle down appeared in my sight - it turned out that there was a stone peak behind the barracks that looked like a pillar of heaven and was opposite the barracks. The rock jutted right out of the edge of the pillar, and I could get a chance to survive just by jumping over it.
I simply let go of my legs and ran towards the cliff mouth. At this time, Dong Dahai, who was lying on my back, cried: "Brother, you run!
"Shut up!—" I roared, leaping up from the water that rushed towards my feet, and leaping straight in the direction of the rock. In mid-air, I threw Dong Dahai out first, and when the other party fell on the rock, I myself took a few crazy steps forward, and grabbed the edge of the rock with both hands.
Just as my hands were about to touch the rock, my body suddenly sank and fell to the bottom of the cliff......
As soon as the chill in my heart rose, Dong Dahai suddenly leaned out half of his body from the rock, grabbed my palm, and lifted me in the air: "Come up!"
I quickly climbed up the edge of the rock. But before I could stand firmly, I saw that Dong Dahai's face was suddenly white again: "Brother...... Brother ......"
I looked in the direction of Dong Dahai's finger, and my heart suddenly became half cold—hundreds of Qing soldiers had already broken through the water at the moment I jumped off the cliff, divided into two rows, and fan-shaped around the cliff in front of the barracks. The Qing soldiers with dark gold faces stood still in the surging water, and the longbows in their hands were pointed at the rocks on which we were standing.
The general's corpse came out from behind the army, and suddenly raised his palm, and the Qing soldiers in the front row immediately half-squatted in the water, and the arrow in his hand was slightly too high an inch. The sound of the murky sea water ticking down the brim of the Qing soldier's hat was like a giant hammer hitting my heart, but the general's corpse refused to let go of the raised palm.
Someone told me that the time when a death row inmate is most afraid is not when he waits for the executioner to drop the knife on the guillotine. A severed head is nothing more than a matter of seconds, and the death row inmate has already accepted his fate, so the death row inmate will stretch his neck and wait to be beheaded. What scared them the most was to go up to the guillotine and wait for the prison officer to throw down the soul breaker. Because they don't know how long the executioner's ghost-headed knife will fall.
I am now exactly like a death row prisoner kneeling on the guillotine, my heart is pounding, but there is no room for struggle at all, I can only watch the general's corpse raise the palm of the general's body in the air.
I stretched out my hand and held the handle of the knife tightly, and whispered to Dong Dahai: "You look at the dead man's hand, as long as his hand falls, you count two in your heart, and jump to the bottom of the cliff, maybe you can still live." ”
"What?" Dong Dahai said in a trembling voice, "What about you?"
I said in a deep voice, "I'll leave it for you to guide the arrows." ”
Dong Dahai didn't know that before the long arrow was shot, the archers still had a chance to adjust the arrows, if we jumped off the cliff immediately, as long as the archers lowered the arrows, the two of us would be shot together in the air.
After two seconds, most of the arrows are off the string, and the best time to take off is the best time to take off. But someone has to stand on the rock to attract the attention of the archers, otherwise, by the time the archers in the back row change their direction, we will all die.
As I spoke, I stood up and looked at the general's corpse, and at the same time, the other party's eyes also glowed with a cold light.
In the moment when the two of us confronted each other, the sound of water waves suddenly sounded under the stone peak, and when I turned my head slightly, I saw a wooden boat speeding into the water between the two of us.
The wooden boat was brightly lit enough for me to see everything on board. To my surprise, the sergeants on the wooden boat could see the Qing soldiers on the cliff when they looked up, but they stood upright on the boat as if they were unresponsive.
At this time, the corpse of the general on the cliff also let out an angry roar, and his bloodshot eyes instantly turned to the bottom of the cliff.
"Jump!" I reached out and grabbed Dong Dahai and jumped towards the wooden boat.
I knew that the wooden boat was not loaded with living people, and I knew that it was unpredictable to jump down, but the height of the wooden boat was enough to shorten the distance of our jump to the point where we could land safely, and besides, there was still a place on the boat to stay, which was much better than standing on the rock and waiting to die. Even if I know that I will die for a lifetime, I must jump down and get a chance to come out.
As soon as Dong Dahai and I left the rock, the bowstring on the opposite side had already shook the sky. Countless arrows flew over our heads one after another, and Dong Dahai and I also landed on the boat together.
After a few seconds, I had risen and slashed at the soldier on the other side. The moment the other party's head was cut into the air by me, I also heard the sound of footsteps behind me - someone was killed!
Just as I was about to turn around, a soldier in the distance raised his fire at me. Although the weapon in the opponent's hand is ancient, it is enough to kill me in one blow at this distance.
I only hesitated for a moment, and was dragged under the boat by Dong Dahai behind me. No sooner had my feet left the side of the ship than the red light from the firebolt burst through the air. Before I could see the direction in which the soldiers on board were moving, the man fell into the sea.
When I instinctively emerged from the water, I saw a large number of soldiers coming from the boat with their guns out of the boat.
Just at the moment when the other party wanted to fire, Dong Dahai suddenly pressed my head from behind and forcibly stuffed me into the water.
The moment I entered the water, the ship's firecrackers burst into the sky. Strangely, I could hear the gunshots, but I didn't see the ripples from the bullets entering the water. Dong Dahai, who dived into the water, grabbed me from the side, pulled me with one hand and swam desperately into the distance, I finally emerged from the water and breathed two breaths of air, but I saw the Qing soldiers and arrows on the cliff raining down, and the men and horses on the boat were shooting at the sky.
Did they fight on both sides?
I was frowning, but Dong Dahai shouted, "What are you doing? Hurry up!"
"Oh!" I said yes before following Dong Dahai and quickly swam to the shore. When the two of us came ashore, a ball of fire also appeared in our sight.
Dong Dahai pointed with his hand in the direction where the firelight came from: "Over there...... There are houses over there. ”
There is indeed a house like a temple over there, Dong Dahai wanted to move forward, but I dragged him back: "Don't go over!
"But......" Dong Dahai hesitated, and was about to explain something to me, but I heard someone calling my name in the distance: "Wang Huan, Wang Huan, come here!"
"Si Ruo?"
I was overjoyed. I haven't seen Si Ruo since I woke up on the beach, although I believe that Si Ruo will not die in the sea, but I haven't seen each other, and it's hard to rest assured after all.
I won't be like a fool, because I can't see Si Ruo, I call her name everywhere, and look for people all over the world like crazy, but the anxiety that is pressed in my heart makes it easier for me to lose control. Half of the reason I kept beating Dong Dahai on the beach was because I couldn't find Si Ruo. Now that Si Ruo is back, how can I not be happy?
I immediately ran in the direction of Siruo.
