Mysterious Hunting Ground

Chapter 64 64. Santa Monica Beach
The next morning, after a night's rest, everyone recovered from the fear of being kidnapped, and with Rust's strong persuasion, they finally agreed to continue the journey.

Abby also had no objection, and probably wanted to use the relaxed atmosphere of the journey to win the forgiveness of her good sister.

After breakfast, the car was back on the road.

However, after a two-hour drive, the three vehicles arrived at the beach in Santa Monica, a seaside town in Los Angeles County, along Highway 1 along the coast of California.

Las Vegas in July is already smoky hot, but in Santa Monica, the sea breeze from the long coastline, with the smell of sand and sea salt, blows away the heat of summer.

A group of people drove into the landmark building of the beach - a huge pier built of steel structure and wood,

There is an amusement park and parking lot on the pier.

The scale of the amusement park is far from being comparable to the famous venues of the same kind in later generations, but it has a strong sense of history, is built near the sea, and has excellent scenery. It can be regarded as the signature attraction of Santa Monica.

Several people parked and stood by the amusement park to look far away.

The blue sea, the light yellow sandy beach, the white waves at the junction of the beach and the sea, and the small tourists like ants create a refreshing picture of nature.

"Everyone, look at that Ferris wheel," Lust put his arms around Britney's shoulders, pointing to the most conspicuous facility in the nearby amusement park, "it's been built for decades, it's half an antique, it turns around every night Shines beautifully."

A flash of memory flashed in Dean's eyes. He remembered that in the future Titanic, Jack had vowed to bring pork shreds here to see the Ferris wheel.

The terminus of Route 66 on Mother America Road is located near here.

In the story of Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump's long-distance run passed by this Ferris wheel.

"It sounds like a great place for couples to go on a date." Baker glanced at Rust and Lang with meaningful eyes, and smiled cheaply. "In the evening, we will go to the Ferris wheel, and each person will have a seat... Hehe..."

"Can you stop thinking about obscene things and do something in just a few minutes? Not a little bit romantic?" Jenny gave her boyfriend a dissatisfied look, and put her hands on her chest expectantly, "Red wine, beach, Canada Going to sunset, just thinking about it..."

"This is not a conflict, watch the sunset in Santa Monica first, and then ride the Ferris wheel!"

"Wake up, it's only seven o'clock in the morning...Shouldn't we book a room first, and then enjoy the sun and the beach?"

Dean reminded.

Then everyone walked from the beach into the city, ordered a cake, and then booked a hotel according to the most cost-effective plan made in advance by Rust and Britney, the school lovers.

As for the corresponding expenses, eight people paid for Dean to express their gratitude, and Dean didn't spend a single dollar on this trip.

After booking a room, a group of people rushed to the beach in Santa Monica, and the boys who had changed into their swimming trunks began to secretly compare their figures with their companions.

Rust and Lang are both a little thin, but the former is thin, and the latter is so thin that his ribs are obvious, but when he is swept away by his gaze, his chest sticks out instead.

Baker has broad shoulders, thick body hair, and well-developed muscles. He is grinning in the pose of a bodybuilder showing off his arm muscles. He exudes strong male hormones. He is the most masculine-looking of the four boys. fit.

As for Dean, the strength attribute of 10.5 is already above the level of a healthy adult. Clear muscle contours can be seen in the well-proportioned body, four-pack abdominal muscles, and an inverted triangle on the back, but it is not like Baker's shocking bulk. Big muscles, his muscles are streamlined and flexible, and once he moves, they surge quickly under the skin.

His body and quickness are higher than his strength,

Therefore, his figure has both explosiveness, strength, and toughness. It looks the most natural, but some scars on his back and hands are more scary, and he wasted a lot of explaining.

In addition, the height of 1.7 meters 1.8 is not short in this era, nor is it too tall. With the growth and development, it should be able to reach [-] meters.

……

"Everyone, look behind!"

Ruster suddenly yelled, and looked towards the exit of the women's bathroom. Everyone's eyes turned, and then their eyes widened.

Five girls in colorful swimsuits walked into the beach one by one.

Petite and cute, slender ladylike, busty and sexy, there are all types.

Jenny flicked her slightly curly hair back, and boldly blew a kiss to each of the four boys. The hot figure under the red swimsuit was undoubtedly revealed, because the skin of black blood is very delicate.

Ashley shyly followed behind her. The orange one-piece swimsuit made her skin white and transparent, and with that delicate slapped face, she looked like an enlarged Barbie doll, so cute that it made blood spurt.

Walking in the third place, Abby's external condition is really ordinary, she chose the most conservative boxer swimsuit, with a disturbed expression, and a group of boys cheered and whistled at her encouragingly.

Britney, in a pure white one-piece swimsuit, with white and delicate skin, finally showed her "hidden" side, but in order to express his respect for Rust, Dean took a look and looked away.

"Ouch-"

When Gretchen finally appeared on the stage, everyone was stunned, and then a wolf howled loudly.

Her skin is so white and glowing, and the rose-patterned red split swimsuit fully shows her delicate and graceful figure. She has a straightforward smile on her face, and her light blue eyes are as clear as seawater under the sunshine. She is like a sea monster that has just landed, about to show off her melodious singing voice and charm all living beings.

Dean silently gave her a [-] out of [-] - at this moment, she is the most beautiful woman on the beach in Santa Monica.

He turned his head and glanced at the three companions next to him. Probably because the will attribute was too low, the three of them made an embarrassing movement of bending over and pulling their stomachs in unanimously.

Boom!
There was a strange collision sound not far away, and Dean glanced at it. Two middle-aged men twisted their necks to enjoy the beautiful scenery and accidentally crashed into a car.

"Hey, you idiots, pick up your eyes, wipe off your saliva, and come over and take a photo together!"

Jenny raised her middle finger at a few idiots, and the nine companions lined up, inviting the middle-aged man who bumped heads just now to help take a photo.

……

A row of tiny footprints appeared on the wet sand, and everyone came to the beach to play with mandarin ducks in pairs.

The rest of Dean accompanied Abby and Gretchen as a coach. Thanks to his life experience in his previous life, he has good water skills.

I did stretching exercises for 5 minutes first. The sun has just risen and the temperature of the sea water is low. In order to avoid cramps, it is necessary to warm up.

When his body was slightly warmed up, Dean led two girls with swimming rings on the left and right into the knee-high sea water, and walked back and forth for dozens of meters slowly.

"Haha, Gretchen, I'm floating!" Abby yelled and danced, the pimples on her face were red and shiny,
Gretchen ignored him, and lay on the beach by herself, shaking her feet.

A beautiful curve is formed between the waist, buttocks and thighs, and the feet meet the waves backwards.

Dean feasted his eyes.

……

Two hours later, Abby, who had learned to breathe and float in water, happily stepped on the water. Gretchen wrung out the water from her braids, and quietly called Dean to the shore.

"Remember my request yesterday? How about some tricks for me now?"

She looked at Dean, and made a standard fighting posture with her left hand in front of her right hand, her pretty face was tense, and her eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Dean frowned, "Are you serious, fighting training on the beach? Don't you think it's inappropriate?"

"No, it's very suitable...and I hope you don't hold back, let me see the real gap in fighting level between us."

"Since you said so, well, let the horse come here," Dean sighed, folded his chest and abdomen into a boxing posture, and hooked his hands at her, "I will try my best to accompany you!"

In terms of height alone, Gretchen was not much different from Dean, and her wingspan was even longer, but instead of attacking rashly, she slowly circled around Dean and approached.

At a certain moment, when the distance was less than two meters, she suddenly got into trouble, and hit the face with a straight left fist like lightning, but it was too slow!

The moment her shoulders moved, Dean took a step sideways, dodged the attack and came to the woman's side, leaned forward, and his two muscular arms tightly wrapped around Gretchen's back like steel hoops. waist.

It was too late for Gretchen to wake up, her feet were empty, her back shook, and she was thrown to the ground by an irresistible force.

"Well…"

With a muffled groan, she lay down on the beach in a daze on her back in shock, looking at the blue sky and talking to herself
"One second, I lasted for a second?"

"Sorry, I shouldn't have used that dangerous trick." Dean squatted down, stretched out his hand to her, and then grabbed his arm with a force, and stubbornly dragged him to the ground.

"It's not over yet, come again!"

Gretchen pressed Dean's chest with her right fist, her light blue eyes stared into his, as if about to spew out flames, but she got too close and almost breathed into Dean's mouth.

Dean could see her full red lips up close, her jewel eyes, her swanlike neck, trembling.

"Can you let me go first, this position is very stressful."

These words sounded like showing off, Gretchen's teeth itched more and more, her cheeks were covered with frost, and she just stared at Dean with wide eyes.

Dean looked at each other helplessly.

"Gretchen, I learned how to swim, look at me!"

Suddenly a loud roar came from the sea.

Gretchen got up instantly like an electric shock, and grabbed Dean gracefully.

……

Learned to swim in the morning.

At noon, everyone had a simple seafood risotto in a Spanish seafood restaurant.

Dean ordered cuttlefish juice, which tastes good and full of fragrance. Every grain of rice is covered with soup, which has a thick and creamy texture like cream, but there is a huge disadvantage——

"Everyone, according to my cooking experience, the rice is at most six mature." Dean wiped the corners of his black mouth with a napkin, and turned to his companions who were feasting with admiration, "Delicious?"

As a former Chinese, he could hardly tolerate undercooked rice.

"Perfect," Baker gave a thumbs up, "I just like this crispy texture."

"This rice is just right," Rust looked at Dean wonderingly, as if he was an outlier in the crowd, "It's full of soup, full, and the grains are distinct..."

A group of people nodded in unison.

"Won't you have diarrhea after eating like this?"

"Come on, buddy." Lang said nonchalantly, "We're not 80 or [-] years old. What's the big deal about eating some hard rice?"

Well, half-baked is half-baked.

……

In the afternoon, everyone played beach volleyball and surfing. In the evening, they went back to the hotel to change into their swimsuits. They went to the cake shop to pick up the fruit birthday cake they ordered and took it to the largest seafood restaurant next to the beach playground.

It is very lively here, full of tourists who have set their positions and are ready to enjoy the sunset.

Everyone put the cake on the center of a platter composed of crab salad, lobster, clams, oysters, and barbecue.

Further outside is a circle of birthday presents.

The trinkets, books, and the most expensive one are a pair of pearl earrings given by Rust. He said that he begged Grace for a long time before buying it. He personally brought it for Britney. tip of brow.

Just in time for the sunset at Santa Monica Beach to appear on the coastline.

The people at the dining table ran to the guardrail, listened to the sound of the waves, and saw the golden sunset in the distance clinging to the sea surface, blooming with gorgeous light. The faces of the Nine and Dean were also rendered golden with joy.

The evening wind blows across the sea.

Everyone was fascinated by the setting sun, and they were speechless for a long time, with different feelings rising in their hearts.

Dean recalled today's hearty beach trip, unconsciously, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, his body and mind seemed to be washed, and the hostility that killed people not long ago dissipated.

The best medicine for the soul is the joyful gathering of companions, even more effective than meditation.

"Okay, Britney, hurry up and make a wish before the sunset disappears!"

Britney blew out the candle in one breath.

Then put your hands together in front of your chest, close your eyes and flutter your eyelashes, mutter something in your mouth, make three wishes, smile brightly,
"I made my wish."

"Tell me about it?"

Baker grabbed a clam and sipped it clean,

"I hope this time next year, we can travel together again, um, graduation trip!"

"I have no objection." Lang gnawed on the crab legs and patted his chest. "We can make an appointment now, but I have a request that Dean can't be absent."

He turned and swept the crowd,
"Without this ace bodyguard, I don't feel at ease!"

"You are an honest man, you have learned to flatter yourself at some point," Baker punched him in the chest.

"Okay, everyone, eat cake!"

Last personally put on the birthday crown for his girlfriend Britney, cut the cake into more than a dozen pieces, and enthusiastically distributed it to other guests at nearby tables.

The crowd began to booing and booing, and "Happy Birthday" rang out like a tsunami, and the candlelight illuminated young faces full of smiles.

Warm atmosphere.

Baker raised his right hand and danced a funny ostrich dance. Behind him, Jenny stood coldly like a coconut tree that kept rolling her eyes. Ruster and Britney were face to face between the dining tables, in a circle A three-step dance...

Lang and Ashley clapped until their hands were red and swollen, then looked at Dean and shouted,
"Don't stand around, man, jump up!"

Dean's body froze, and a dance that was popular all over the country in his previous life and suitable for all ages suddenly flashed through his mind. Under such a hot atmosphere, he subconsciously performed it.

body shaking
Snapped!
A piece of cake flew in the air, making the ecstatic Dean into a big face, and the remaining half of the essence was also gagged in his mouth.

"What dance did you dance? It's so funny."

Gretchen, who was leaning against the railing, hooked her fingers at him provocatively.

Another hand grabbed the tail of her braid, took off the rubber band, a large handful of unbound black hair rippling in circles, and brushed her fair face in waves, like a blooming black rose.

Dean licked the corner of his mouth, grabbed a plate of cake and threw it at her.

……

Abby stood alone at the edge of the restaurant, looking enviously at her quarrelsome companions, and raised her leg to join in, but she was discouraged by the thought of her good sister's indifferent attitude.

"It's all on my own."

Obviously such a happy moment.

But she couldn't control the redness of the corners of her eyes, and the sadness in her heart overflowed like a substance, making her unable to breathe.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by.

Abby felt a piercing pain in her left hand for no reason. She looked down and saw that there was a bloody gash on the back of her hand, the length of her index finger, and she was scratched by something.

She looked around in aggrieved and angry way.

Behind the crowd, a hooded figure sped down the pier and disappeared into the dark sand.
