Sonny takes the lead and wades into the river.

The others, following closely behind, lined up in a long line, moving forward step by step, without too many errors.

The water is turbulent, and the consequence of stepping on the air is to be quickly washed away.

At this time, everyone cheered up and was washed away in this place, and no one would save them, and life and death were up to heaven.

Ethan put everything in his trouser pocket into his shirt pocket, and like everyone else, took off his boots, hung them around his neck, and stepped into the icy water.

He was sweating profusely just now, but now he was suddenly cold, and he couldn't help but shiver.

The river didn't reach his thighs, and a burst of momentum came.

Following Sonny's prompting, he staggered forward, his feet solid.

Anna walked ahead of Ethan, pulled by her grandfather, her body was short and shaky by the river.

Seeing this, Ethan scooped her up.

Anna snorted softly, and before she could react, she sat down on Ethan's shoulder.

His grandfather hurriedly turned around, saw Anna being carried by Ethan, nodded gratefully, and continued to walk forward.

"Ahh

The screams rang out, and everyone stopped.

There was a man behind him who stepped on the air, his body was unstable, and he was quickly carried away by the river, and he kept struggling on the water.

Seeing the man tumble and hit a raised rock in the river, the river splashed red, and was quickly washed away again.

In a matter of seconds, Ethan saw the horror of smuggling on the road.

A living life was swallowed up silently.

The other stowaways, with a flash of sadness in their eyes, picked themselves up and continued on their tracks.

Anna's voice was a little low, and she asked in unfamiliar English, "Sir, do you think we can live the kind of life that Americans have?" ”

"I don't know."

Ethan shook his head: "But don't give up smiling, life will always get better." ”

A cold touch touched his forehead, and then, slid downward.

"You're a good guy."

Anna put a necklace around his neck, and a crisp voice rang out: "This is a gift from Letty, and now I give it to you, I hope it will bring you good luck." ”

Ethan glanced down at the leather rope necklace with a small silver star.

"Thank you."

Unexpectedly, on the smuggling trip, I also made a friend.

"Why don't you come with us?" Anna continued:

"Letty is just like you, she's a cool guy and can be good friends with you."

"This Letty is your neighbor?"

"That's right, when I was young, she used to take me out to play, just like my relatives."

The two of them chatted without saying a word, and soon crossed the river.

After going ashore, Sonny gave another two minutes to rest, and if he could, he could change into dry clothes, but if he didn't, he could only hold on wet.

Ethan changed his clothes and threw away his wet pants directly, saving him from getting the bag wet.

"Listen, everybody."

Sonny summoned everyone over and said with a serious expression:

"Don't think that you will be safe after this road, the next is the most dangerous time."

"Everyone has to be vigilant, if you see a stranger, you have to hide as soon as possible, we are still three hours away from our destination, everyone should not relax."

"When we get to the transfer point, we can take the bus."

Just like when they came, they walked a distance, got into the car hidden here, and drove to their destination.

Otherwise, just walking on the legs can make the old and weak women and children in the team bald.

There were also stowaways who relied only on their legs, often walking for days, and Buzz didn't dare arrange that kind of trip for Ethan.

Sonny's level of difficulty in smuggling is already a VIP passage.

"Okay."

"Got it."

The stowaways around him hurriedly replied in a low voice, with a hint of horror on their expressions.

It took a lot of money and a lot of trouble to cross the border, and at this time it was caught by the Border Patrol people, and everything would have come to naught.

After making sure everyone understood what he meant, Sonny dropped the cigarette butt and walked forward.

Seeing the nervous expression on the little girl Anna's face, Ethan smiled and squeezed her hand and followed the crowd.

They walked in the woods for more than an hour before they got out of the mountains.

Follow the rolling hills, all the way forward.

Looking at the scene in front of them, many people are still muttering in their hearts whether they have gone to the wrong place.

After all, now when you look at it, there is a barren and bushes all over the place, not to mention strangers, there is not a single ghost, and there is no feeling of a superpower at all.

In fact, there is another very interesting thing, someone once took a photo at the U.S.-Mexico border.

On one side, there are many tall buildings, and on the other side it is extremely desolate.

Many people think that the prosperous side is the United States, and the desolate place is Mexico.

In fact, quite the opposite.

The United States is a vast and sparsely populated country, and the fear of stowaways means that ordinary people do not choose to settle at the border.

The vast majority of people will gather in places where the climate and economic conditions are more comfortable, so the American border line will be particularly inhospitable.

However, most of the people here have learned about the situation and follow Sonny closely.

Ethan picked up the bottle of mineral water and drank the last bit of water.

At this moment, the afterglow of his eyes noticed a light in the distance.

The light flashed by.

A feeling of thorns in the back suddenly rose up, making Ethan feel as if he was being pointed at gunpoint.

"Danger!"

He followed the pace of his movement and squatted down quickly.

"Bang."

The bushes next to him were interrupted by a shot.

At the same time, Sonny, who was leading the way at the front, suddenly exploded with a cloud of blood mist on his head.

In the team, there were also two people who were beaten into the blood mist and fell to the ground.

"Border Patrol, militia."

"Run."

This sudden change made the scene explode immediately, and some people yelled and fled in all directions.

At that moment, on the hill in the distance, three open-top jeeps roared up and sped towards them.

The crisp sound of gunfire continued, and the people in the car kept firing at them with their rifles.

Ethan dodged the first wave of attacks, came to his senses, and pounced on Anna, who was stunned in place.

"Bang."

The warm blood raised his face.

Looking at Anna, who had been thrown to the ground by herself, Ethan's eyes turned cold, and she jerked her head up to look at the vehicle in the distance.

The man on top was holding an old-fashioned rifle, as if he were hunting.

There were several people sitting on top of each car, and the car in the middle, wearing a cowboy hat, cheered at the side after the shot.

Anna's grandfather was also in the confusion and was knocked to the ground by a single shot.

He struggled to look at Anna and closed his eyes.
