Chapter 5 Water Volleyball
The people standing on the second branch witnessed the whole process of Fang Cai, and the fear of death was firmly engraved in their hearts. So many people just struggled to sink to the bottom of the lake with the branches!
"The water seems to be rising!"
"Will the water rise to us? This is not a show! It's not a test! It's really going to die! I don't want to die yet! ”
"Do you want to keep climbing? There are still people standing on it. ”
The man in black standing on the second branch silently pulled up the vine and began to continue to climb up.
The person standing on the third branch began to think about another question: "We have so many people standing here, will we be unable to bear it and break off after a while?" ”
"Yes, yes, just on the first branch, it looks very thick, and it broke after just a few people!"
"Brother, don't climb up, there are not so many people standing here!" The man in red standing on the third branch spoke up.
"I don't know if the water will rise, let me go up! Just come up to me! ”
"Don't! I think the water has stopped, big brother! You are down there first, and if the water rises, we will pull you up together. ”
"That's a good saying, if the water rises, you can't wait to run up quickly, where can you take care of us?"
"Big brother, how can you think that?" The man in red raised his voice.
The black-bearded man standing on the third branch immediately echoed: "I remember this man in black, he climbed up by himself at the beginning, and he was not a good person at first glance, and he still has the strength to climb up at this moment!" ”
"That's it, this man is too selfish! Let's carry a few people up, which one is not tired and can't even breathe, he still has the strength! ”
"This kind of person can't let him come up, who knows what he will do!"
The man in red heard the sound of support behind him, reached out and grabbed the vine, and threatened: "You let go of your hands!" Otherwise, I'll shake the vines and throw you off!" ”
The man in black glared at the man in red viciously and scolded: "Despicable villain! Don't you dare! ”
Hearing this, the man in red shook the vines mercilessly, shook the man in black down, and with the help of the blackbearded man, he put away all the vines on the side.
Fortunately, the man in black was under the second branch, which did not fall into the water.
The man in black glared angrily at the man in red, scanning his surroundings to see if he could use a "weapon".
A white fruit slowly grows on the branch, which is not heavy and extremely elastic.
The man in black was overjoyed to pick the fruit, took the fruit in his hand and tested the weight, and raised his head and said to the man in red menacingly, "You quickly put down the vine!" ”
"What? Do you still want to get your hands dirty? So big empty below! Can't stand you anymore? The man in red didn't pay attention to the man in black below, and stood generously at the edge of the branch, pointed to his head, and shouted:
"You smash! Smash it here! Whoever doesn't smash it is a grandson! ”
"Hey, grandson! Listen to Grandpa! ”
The man in black blushed with anger, and smashed the fruit at the man in red.
The fruit the size of an adult's head smashed on the face of the man in red impartially, only to hear a "bang", and the man in red fell backwards.
Seeing this, the man in black said sarcastically: "It's really unfortunate to have a grandson like you!" How much strength did you have to shrink your head and become a turtle? You have the ability to harvest vines, and you have the ability to stand up and continue to be beaten! ”
"It's... Blood! The black-bearded man stepped forward to help the man in red and removed the white fruit, only to see that the man in red's face was deeply sunken, and blood slowly flowed out of his nostrils, eyes, and mouth.
"Ahh Killed! A scream rang out, and the people standing on the third branch looked at the perpetrator in horror.
"What are you kidding? I'll just wave it lightly! Dressed in red, get up! Don't touch porcelain! Don't cheat! The man in black continued to shout mockingly, not believing the fact that the man in red was dead.
"Dead, really dead! There is no snort..."The blackbearded man withdrew his hand and set the man in red aside, staring at the fruit that had fallen to the side in a daze.
A living man, dead, was crushed to death by a fruit in front of everyone's eyes.
The man in black pinched the corners of his clothes with both hands, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, as if he realized that something was not quite right.
"Murderer!" Someone shouted, and the people standing on the second branch leaned closer and looked at the man in black warily.
"This fruit is very light, don't you know? When I was playing water volleyball before, I was also smashed, and it's okay if it's not! Don't listen to them, they just don't want us to go up! Acting on purpose! The man in black pretended to be calm and defended himself.
"Don't believe what the murderer says! There is blood on the fruit! He's really dead! The blackbearded man picked up the blood-stained fruit, his fingers trembling slightly.
"People are really gone! He killed! The short-haired girl, standing on the fourth branch, shouted downward, her trembling voice revealing her fear at the moment.
It was not swallowed up by the water, but it died in a harmless fruit for humans and animals.
"Dead! Do you hear me? It's really dead! He killed someone, what to do? I don't want to be around murderers! Standing not far from the man in black, the girl with a ponytail showed an anxious and frightened expression.
"Big brother! Can you let me go up? The ponytail girl yelled at the blackbearded man.
"And me!" Soon the people on the second branch asked to go up, not wanting to stay with the man in black.
"I don't believe he's dead! I don't believe what you say! Unless you let me go up and take a look! Hearing is false, seeing is believing! The man in black stood firmly under the vine and looked at the person behind him with disdain:
"It just so happens that you don't want to stay with me, do you? Then I'll go up! ”
"Can't let the murderer come up!" More than a dozen people on the third branch shouted to stop them, "Kill for your life!" He can't come up! ”
"He should have been killed, he had to be killed!"
"It's funny, kill me? Not to mention whether I killed someone or not, even if I did, you have the right to decide my life and death? Amusing! If I'm dead, you're all murderers! The man in black urged impatiently, "Let me go up!" ”
"You're looking for death! I'm going to remove your cancer for you today! The black-bearded man's hand holding the fruit trembled angrily at the black-clothed man's rude plea.
"That's it!" The boy who was standing behind the man in black suddenly shouted loudly ahead.
Perhaps Blackbeard was too angry and lost his mind, or maybe he was frightened and didn't hold it steady, and the blood-stained fruit fell straight down under the action of inertia and smashed on the top of the man in black.
I saw that the skull was sunken, and there was no crack in the fruit.
"I ...... I didn't mean to......," the blackbearded man muttered to himself.
"It's not your problem, it's his fault first, you're just slipping your hands for a while." The boy in the water smiled with satisfaction, pulling the corner of the man's clothes to signal him to calm down.
"Yes, it was he who was at fault first, you just slipped your hand, we all saw it, we can all testify for you!" The people behind the boy chimed in.
I looked at the fruit that could smash the skull with a little force, and I was a little dazed, in the past, the fruit would only bear once, as long as it was pierced in advance, it would reduce a crisis.
The details of the game seem to have changed again, why?
"Why?" Su Nuannuan covered her mouth and burst into tears.
What why? Just when I was thinking about whether Su Nuannuan could read minds, I heard Su Nuannuan say: "They are dead, and the people who stood on that branch just now are gone, why?" ”
"The branches are very wide, why do they break? I told them to climb up, and I thought that if everyone climbed up, they would be saved. ”
"Will the water still rise? How can we save everyone? ”
I lowered my head and continued to observe the situation below, without answering Su Nuannuan's question. The water will only rise to the position of the first branch, and theoretically, anyone in the tree will survive until tomorrow.
I wish she could live through tomorrow.
"Is the water rising again?"
"Big brother, since he's dead, can you let us go up to one? The dead must not be allowed to take the place of the living! ”
The man standing on the second branch completely ignored the "sudden" death of the man in black and shouted to go up.
"I'm me, I'm up! I've just carried the most people! Should let me go up! ”
"How old are you? Should let me go up! I have money! Let me go up, and I'll repay you well! ”
Quarrels come and go, and everyone wants to climb up.
At this moment, the tree bears fruit again, and the dense fruit quickly ripens and falls on the branches.
Someone picked up the fruit and held it in his hand and shouted: "Calm down, everyone! They didn't want us to go up! Now everyone is a grasshopper on a branch! Let's smash everyone up there together! Naturally, you can go up! ”
"It makes sense, it makes sense, people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for their own sake! What's more, it was they who made the first move and blocked our way of life! ”
Several white fruits flew upward, and the black-bearded man dodged the attack with a vigorous posture, his blue shirt splashed with blood, "Everyone hide back, don't be smashed!" ”
"Don't be afraid, we also have fruits!" The boy who was hiding behind everyone held on to the trunk of the tree and pointed to the fruit that slowly grew above his head.
The fruit ripens as fast as possible and falls on the branches.
"Everyone picks up the fruit and avenges the fallen!" The blackbearded man picked up the fruit and smashed it down.
The fruit was stained with bright red blood and rolled into the water, and the white and flawless moon in the water soon turned red.
In the midst of a fierce battle between the men on the second and third branches, the blackbearded man was suddenly struck in the arm by a fruit from above.
The red-haired man stared at the few people with better physical strength on the third branch, and his gaze was not good.
"What are you doing!" The frightened long-haired girl looked at the red-haired man who suddenly attacked in disbelief.
The short-haired girl on the side was shocked by the movements of the man in red and grew her mouth.
"They're crazy! If we don't do it, we will die! As he spoke, the man in red looked up at me with a flattering smile.
"Girl, a few of us are standing on the fourth branch, and we won't go up! The people down there are crazy! We're worried that they'll climb up, so that's how we do it! ”
"We're not going up! I won't attack you either! Don't attack us! All right? ”
In the past, as long as these fruits were punctured, they would not reappear, but why have they changed now? I didn't bother to think about it, and I didn't want to pay attention to the "truce" invitation initiated by the red-haired man. Because I'm definitely not going to come back here.
looked at Su Nuannuan again, Su Nuannuan's eyes were red and swollen, and she couldn't cry anymore. I guess what she should be trying to say at this moment is: stop fighting.
But the grief of death haunted her heart, and she had no way to make a sound.
I pulled her away from the edge and lay down, as long as she was close to the branches, at an angle below, they couldn't attack.
Powerless? Sad? Suffocation?
I looked at her, and for a moment it was as if I saw my former self.
If you tell them that the water won't stop and climb up the tree, they will only blame me for being crazy.
Tell them that the first branch can only stand forty people, and not only will they not believe it, but they will blame me for why I didn't say it earlier when the branch breaks.
There is nothing to be done, and countless struggles have not been able to get the desired results. There is no right to decide whether they live or die, and there is no way to change their choices.
A hundred places, for them, too little.
The tree is in the heart of the city, where there are far fewer people than those on the fringes, and it is exposed to death much later, and the situation is not so tragic.
Obviously, the water will only rise to the first branch, just wait for the dawn honestly.
But they will still choose to go up, and in order to continue to climb up, they will use the fruit to smash down the people who are blocking the top, and they will not stop when they hit their heads and break the blood.
It's the only city where there aren't monsters, but monsters seem to be everywhere.
