under the vortex

Chapter 77
Baimashan reached out to help Anna: "How is it? Can you still go?"

Most of Anna's body was wet, and her hands were shaking with pain. She ignored Baimashan, but turned her head and was about to rush towards Jia Wenjun.

This woman dared to tease her behind her back, she was hurt, Jia Wenjun should not even think about it.

Of course Jia Wenjun knew what she wanted to do. There was a reef protruding from the sea just behind her, and now it was blocked by the shadow behind her.As long as Anna dared to pounce, she would strike without hesitation.

However, before Anna touched Jia Wenjun, Baima Mountain next to her grabbed her: "Okay, I saw it when you fell just now, she didn't push it, the waves brought you down too much. Not now When you’re looking for someone to vent your anger on, it’s important to save Lili. If you can’t leave, I’ll light a torch for you, and you can go back to the boat now.”

Jia Wenjun was standing in the sea, the light from the torch could only illuminate half of her face. At this time, she was expressionless, holding the unburned spare torch tightly with one hand, her eyes were full of sharpness.

Anna looked at the two of them coldly, and she finally understood that Baimashan was helping Jia Wenjun overtly and secretly. Maybe the two of them were together, and if Jia Wenjun killed someone, Baimashan might be an accomplice.

Anna is a person who knows how to judge the situation. Now it's two-on-one. She doesn't have the advantage. If she fights with them, she won't be able to please her. The purpose of her coming down this time is to destroy that mobile phone. For the rest, bear with it first. This hatred must be avenged.

Thinking of this, she shook off Baima Shan's hand, and said with a sneer, "You know if it was brought down by the waves, I won't go back, I'm going to save Lili."

Seeing that she didn't leave, Baimashan didn't bother anymore, turned around and continued walking forward.Jia Wenjun ignored Anna and followed Baima Mountain on the other side.

After suffering the loss just now, Anna no longer walked in the middle. She raised her injured hands as much as possible, and clamped the unburned torch with her elbows to prevent the sea water from getting in.

The marching formation changed from the original three-person line to a character.

However, without both hands to maintain balance, Anna walked more and more slowly in order to step steadily on each step, and the distance between the two of them was getting wider and wider.

Baima Mountain and Jia Wenjun in front did not intend to wait for her, after all, the tide was rising every second, and if there was any delay, no one would be able to come back in a while.

The three of them walked forward in puddles and rock crevices, and from time to time they had to look backwards and forwards to avoid going astray.

Lili in the distance also seemed to see the small dots of light separated from the huge pile of flames on the boat slowly moving towards her. She knew that someone was coming to meet her, and began to shout at the direction of the torch at the top of her voice, making several people more Know exactly where she is.

The more you move towards the sea, the more intense the sea water's chill will be.

As the tide gets faster and faster, the water flow under the feet is obviously much faster.The waves are higher than one floor, and the trousers of Baimashan and Jia Wenjun who are walking in front are completely soaked. The sea in the northern April night is still freezing, and the heat of the human body is quickly absorbed by the sea water, and the cold is eroding their weak bodies. As the rising sea penetrated the puddles and gullies, they had to carefully avoid many obstacles. Jia Wenjun's original walking route, which he rode on the railing of the boat and carefully observed and recorded in his mind, had completely changed now.

It took a lot of energy to go around the detour, and the three of them couldn't care about each other at this time.But fortunately, Lili's yelling became clearer.

"I'm here." Lili was so excited that she was about to cry when she saw the torch slowly approaching.

When she heard the bell on the boat before, she was afraid that her phone would be washed away by the sea, so she ran off the boat regardless, just like a demon, without preparing anything.Thinking that I just came down to pick up shells before, it should be a quick and easy thing to come down to pick up the phone again. Who would have thought that she would come down to look for the sound, and when she turned back, the boat was already some distance away from her, and the more terrifying Yes, the way we came here has been flooded by water and we can't see it anymore.

In addition, when the sky got dark, she couldn't see clearly, and she didn't know and didn't dare to walk around, for fear of losing her life if she was not careful.

When he was seven or eight meters away from the rock where Lili was, Jia Wenjun stepped on the reef, and the water was already waist-deep.

The speed of the water flow is so strong that it takes a lot of effort for her to just stand.

The torch in Baimashan's hand had been burned a little loosely, Jia Wenjun could only borrow the fire from him, and lit the spare torch in his hand that he planned to use on the return journey.

At this time, in the hands of the three, only Anna's stick was not burned.According to the plan, the three torches should be tightly clamped and used for them to return to the ship, but only if Anna does not light her torch in advance.

Anna fell behind a little distance from them. She was already in the dark. When Jia Wenjun came out, Jia Wenjun saw her holding a lighter, so even if Baimashan didn't lend her a light, she could light the torch by herself.

If they did not return to the boat before the three torches went out, the chances of them being swept away by the waves would be greatly increased.

Lili saw Baima Mountain and Jia Wenjun getting closer and closer, so she didn't care about her fear and climbed down from the rock where she was standing.

Jia Wenjun stood closer to Lili than Baima Mountain, but the rushing water formed a barrier between Lili and Jia Wenjun.

"Lili, don't come down first, the current is too fast." Jia Wenjun saw that Lili was moving towards Baima Mountain a little bit, and she was worried that she would be caught in the turbulent waves, so she hurriedly let Lili go up first.

It was impossible for Lili to listen to her, thinking that as long as she could hold Baima Mountain, she would be saved.

Unexpectedly, when she stepped again, her heel slipped and she almost fell into the water. She screamed in fright, and sat on the rock with her buttocks, grinning her teeth in pain, and dared not move any more.

Jia Wenjun quickened his pace and touched the reef where she was sitting. The reef was full of black mussels, which are the mussels that are often seen in the Chuangang breeding area. These small things gathered in pieces on the reef. The surface of the reef turns black. In the sea area without lights at night, if there is no white waves, it is difficult to distinguish the location of the reef with the naked eye.

"Don't move up there, I'll come closer." Jia Wenjun told Lili.

"Don't come here, let Big Brother Bai come here." Lili didn't want to be with the murderer, she didn't know how Jia Wenjun came out of the dark warehouse, and she also knew that Jia Wenjun came out, most likely because of the mobile phone.

Baima Mountain had been slowly approaching, but the current was too fast, and he moved around the edge of the rock under his feet until he was only five meters away from Lili, and he couldn't go any further.

There is a wide gap of four to five meters between here and the reef where Lili is located. The waves of high tide beat on the wide gap one after another, and are squeezed by two rocks, forming a "bottleneck effect" between the two rocks. ".As long as there is a surge, it will be squeezed by two huge rocks, forming a water column and eddy current with faster flow speed and strong impact in the gap.
