Chapter 32: Crossing the River
After Li Tian made his decision, Cheng Yang immediately led them in the opposite direction where the bridge was.
Then, after walking for a long time through the dense woods, they finally came to another location by the river.
The river in the vicinity was indeed much more turbulent than the one they had just been, and it was farther away from where the bridge was.
"When the bridge was first built, the engineers chose the location in the shallow waters of the Xuan River. And this is the upper reaches of the Xuan River, and it is also the most dangerous deep-water area. Cheng Yang did not forget to explain, "According to the number of previous surveys, it is said that the deepest position of the water here has exceeded five meters, so you must be careful." ”
When Cheng Yang said this, Li Tian was already carefully looking around at the situation. Among them, he saw that the river in this area was indeed very turbulent and surging, and he knew that Cheng Yang really did not lie, nor did he make a mistake, and it was indeed a very dangerous thing to cross the river from here.
And Oakes on the side also determined the surrounding situation, and then he took the initiative to say: "I'll explore the way for you first." ”
His words undoubtedly surprised everyone present except Li Tian and Little, and Cheng Yang, one of them, was even more shocked and couldn't help but say to him: "It's better for me to explore the way, okay?" ”
"Nope." Oakes simply rejected Cheng Yang's words, "You can just follow me then." ”
Seeing Oaks insisting on his own views so much, Cheng Yang had to move his eyes to Li Tian to see how Li Tian decided and expressed his position.
Unexpectedly, Li Tian didn't think about it this time, so he said very directly: "Let Oakes take the lead in exploring the way." ”
In any case, the person who took the lead in exploring the path was always in the most dangerous state, Shao Xiaofang and Yin Xun didn't expect that Li Tian would let Oaks take the risk so simply and decisively, so they couldn't help but show some disbelief.
Li Tianhui agreed to Oakes's initiative to ask for help, and naturally there was a reason. Because Oakes is very watery, he once lurked in a very dangerous river for three days and two nights during an assassination attempt, also in a very cold winter. So based on this, Li Tian believed that there would be no problem for Oakes to take the lead in exploring the way in this river.
However, Li Tian didn't explain much, and he immediately signaled with his eyes that Oakes could start acting.
After obtaining Li Tian's approval, Oakes said to all the people present: "For safety, I need to borrow your belt. ”
After hearing Oaks say this, Shao Xiaofang was the first to untie his belt and then handed it to Oakes.
After Oakes took Shao Xiaofang's belt, he used the buckle on the belt to fix Shao Xiaofang's belt to his belt. When the others saw Oakes' action, they understood that he wanted to use everyone's belts to form a long belt, so that when the time came to go down the river together, everyone would be able to climb the long belt and move forward in the water.
So after thinking about this, everyone took off their belts one after another, and then fixed them one after another, and soon made a long belt like a long rope.
After getting this done, Oakes slowly entered the icy river from the dense grass without any hesitation. And Cheng Yang, who was following closely behind Oakes, felt the impact of the long belt in the water when he held it in his hand, so he understood how powerful the water flow was.
At the same time, everyone submerged their entire body in the water after seeing Oakes go down the river, which shows that this is indeed a deep water area. But luckily, everyone's weapons and equipment are placed in waterproof strategic backpacks, so even if the whole body is submerged in the water, it will not cause damage to the weapons and equipment.
Although carrying a strategic backpack into the river will cause a greater weight obstacle to the body, Li Tian really insisted that each of them should carry the strategic backpack well, after all, the weight generated by the strategic backpack after entering the water is also beneficial for their bodies to stabilize in this turbulent water.
When Oaks quickly moved forward and began to swim, Cheng Yang, who was following closely behind him, also immediately entered the river, and everyone next did not hesitate, all of them pulled the long belt into the water one by one.
Although the river was very turbulent and cold, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, trying very hard to break through the resistance caused by the water to their bodies.
When it was Lit's turn to go into the water, Li Tian, who was following her closely, did not forget to explain: "You have to hold on to the belt in your hand, don't really be washed away by this river." ”
After all, among the teams of this batch of operations, there is only one woman like Little, and she is also the lightest weight in the entire team, so Li Tiancai had to give more advice.
Although this was just a casual admonition from Li Tian, after hearing him say this, Little's heart suddenly felt like it was warmed. Even if she was about to enter the cold river for a while, it was no longer a problem for her.
"I'll be careful, Mr. Li, please be careful too." Ritter was quick to respond respectfully.
"Well, you go down." Li Tian nodded in response, and motioned to Wright to hurry up and follow the rhythm.
When Litt heard this, she didn't say anything more, but decisively grabbed the long belt in her hand and went down the river.
After entering the icy water, after swimming a few steps, Wright realized that she really underestimated the resistance in the river, and did not expect it to be so strenuous.
Although she is also a difficult person to deal with in battle, in terms of strength, she is a woman after all, and there is still a certain gap between her strength and that of men. Therefore, it is really much more difficult for her to move forward in this river than the other men present.
But fortunately, just as she was moving forward with such difficulty, a strong arm suddenly pushed her body forward.
She just breathed a sigh of relief, and before she could say thank the person behind her, she heard her favorite voice come from the familiar tone behind her: "Don't be careless, move forward well." ”
"Yes." Ritter immediately responded, she really didn't expect that Li Tian would actually borrow power from the water to help her through this difficulty.
However, Li Tian did his best this time, after all, he himself was also subjected to the strong resistance of this turbulent river in the water, plus he also had to exert force on Litte to help her move more smoothly in the river, so he had to pay more strength than other men.
However, he didn't have any complaints about this, after all, he took the initiative to take Rit with him this time, and he didn't want Rit to have an accident here first, so he would do his best to help her.
And although Little's whole body was surrounded by the cold water, she could feel how warm the hand in the water was that supported her back, and that strong hand seemed to have magic, making her body burst out with more strength.
She was really very grateful that Li Tian would help her, if Li Tian was still in the Black Brigade, he would never have helped.
Because at that time, he never needed useless people. So for the change he has now, Wright is really very touched.
