Chapter 211: Jack and the Crossbow
PS: PS: New week, please continue to support this book. I'll try to make this story exciting.
I was still feeling emotional, and the light of one flashlight suddenly shone back on my face, and it swayed sharply twice, and then shone to the other side. I understood, he wanted me to follow his light. I turned my head along the light and realized that the other two lights that had just shone on my face had been fixed somewhere in front of me on the right.
I glanced over there and stood up with a scream. I couldn't jump up from a sitting position, I could jump if I could. In fact, I instantly thought that falling into the water was not as terrible as I saw, and I even had the urge to jump into the water to escape.
Here's where we are at the moment. Ah Xiang: Their position was thirty meters in front of me on the left, and their flashlight shone in front of the wood I was on, not far in front of us. The light with three diaphragms tuned very wide covers a large area, and in the center of the aperture is a shocking large whirlpool, large enough to engulf us.
Our wood was already on the edge of this maelstrom, and from the angle from which I stood up, I could see more clearly the sloping walls of the whirlpool and the large funnel it formed. The largest diameter of the whirlpool was beyond the log we were perched on, and it was strong enough to crush and swallow the large log, and even if we were lucky enough to pass by it, the light of the cyclops showed me that a little ahead, at the end of our swim, a slightly curved, high, straight.
There is no doubt that we will be swallowed in a whirlpool or slapped to death on a dam.
It didn't have the courage to look any further, not only was it devouring everything that came close to it, but it seemed that even the soul couldn't escape its gravity. I just looked at it and felt my body leaning towards it, and I felt like I was going to fall into the abyss.
I quickly withdrew my gaze. There is no need to look any further, as long as you enter it, there is no chance of survival. There is no need to look closely at it.
I immediately turned my face to Ah Xiang and them. Waving his hands to send out a distress signal, he shouted desperately.
My anomaly surprised the two Laotians who were concentrating on untying the rope, and I couldn't focus on lighting them with a flashlight. In the darkness, Buazon's already flustered hands tugged at the hook, perhaps causing another wound to the wound of another Laotian, who I heard screaming in a terrible manner. Immediately afterwards, the cries of Buazon also rang out, and they were terrified cries. I think he saw the whirlpool in front of him.
Legend has it that the demons of hell endure endless torture every day, and I think it must be very noisy. It's just the sound of the three of us shouting desperately. It's going to overpower the roaring water, and I can't imagine what hell will be like.
I don't care about lighting the Laotians anymore, and I don't think there's any practical point in untying the rope at the moment. If you are caught in the whirlpool, tied together or not, the result is the same. I want to spend the last bit of time to ask Ah Xiang for help, I feel that they have rescued me and the Laotians from the mouth of the python, and they are trying their best to call the police to us, they will not be doing useless work, there should be some rescue means. What matters at the moment is time, do they have time to save us?
Hopefully there's still time to save me, I think I'm still of some use to them.
It was impossible for our voices to reach each other, and I shook the cyclops at them sharply. to signal the crisis of our situation. In the flashlight, I could vaguely see a huge creature on the other side, like a dilapidated building ship. I was in a hurry to call for help, and the flashlight flickered quickly. I couldn't see the situation on the other side, but the sight still shocked my jaw. I hurriedly fixed the cyclops. When the light stabilized, I could see clearly that there was a large tree lying in the water on the opposite side.
The tree appears to have fallen in this flood. The verdant foliage is like new, and it looks like a big ship from a distance. Three rays of white light shine on the figures of three people. The two holding cyclops for lighting were Ah Xiang and Ah San, and one with his head down and fiddling with things was actually Jack. I really didn't expect to see him here, and I felt a little relieved in my heart, I didn't have a very good impression of this American, but because of his AOE background, I knew that this person was still not bad.
As my flashlight shone on his face, Jack suddenly looked up and said two words with a displeased frown at my actions. From the lip sync, it looks like: idiot.
I can't care about that at the moment, all I care about is how he saves me. I trust Jack more than the Vietnamese. If it was possible for the Vietnamese to save me, then Jack would definitely try, whether it was successful or not.
I could see from Jack's frowning and squinting expression that he was dissatisfied with me shining a flashlight on him, and now that he was the only hope for survival for me and the two Laotians, how could I provoke his displeasure. I hurriedly shifted the center of the aperture of the flashlight, shining only on the periphery of the aperture that was not dazzling, and turned it on and off a few times frequently, sending out an SOS distress signal.
My distress signal seemed to work, Jack patted Ah Xiang on the shoulder, stretched out his hand and pointed to my side, and the three one-eyed flashlights in Ah Xiang and Ah San's hands suddenly shone at me at the same time. The sudden white light almost blinded my eyes, and I squinted my eyes to see Jack holding something flat in both hands.
The blinding white light made it impossible to see what he was holding, and from his posture, it looked like he was shooting with a gun.
My brain buzzed, and I couldn't say what I felt, was this to ease my pain? Unwillingly, I couldn't help but scold. In order to let him see and let him know what I really thought, I cursed in English and raised a middle finger at him.
"Duh"
A voice from under my feet reached my ears through vibrations.
I shone my flashlight to my feet and found a metal crossbow bolt nearly two feet long nailed into the wood at my feet, with a loop at the end of the arrow and a rope tied to it.
A great sense of joy and guilt made me look up at Jack, and under the white light of the one-eyed beast, Jack gave me a raised middle finger with one hand, and the other hand quickly beckoned to me, signaling me to hurry over.
Knowing the urgency of the situation, I patted the two Laotians, who were still screaming and screaming desperately, cut the rope connecting them to the wood, pointed to the rope on the crossbow arrow, and motioned for them to grab the rope and go into the water.
I didn't cut the rope that tied them together, but for now, it was still useful, not only to keep them on that very efficient climb, but also to give me a ride.
When the two Laotians saw that there was still a way to live, they jumped into the water without saying a word. Before I could cut the rope from my side, they climbed out for several meters. "Damn" I scolded, these two are really action-oriented, and they ran away without saying hello.
I quickly cut the rope from my body and jumped at the two of them. (To be continued......)
