This zombie looks different

001.

In the darkness, on the side of the wide river, on the shore, Xue Weiwei kept looking around with his eyes wide open, his barge, what about his big barge?

Seeing Xue Weiwei like this, and looking at the empty river bank in front of him, everyone fell into silence.

The container truck was hidden under the hillside about 50 meters behind them, and a rammed dirt road under the wheels stretched from the foot of the car to their feet all the way to the river, and disappeared into the river.

On their left is a low slope more than ten meters high. Nearly 800 meters to the left of the low slope, there is a small village facing the river. In front of the village is a small flood control forest.

On the opposite side of the river bank that can be seen in the darkness is a mountain. The mountain is not too high. The cliff near them is steep. There is a dirt road between the foot of the mountain and the river bank. The dirt road is uneven. There are large chunks of rocks inside, which look like they were caused by a landslide.

At the end of the mountain, after the road extends to the left for about a kilometer, there is a small town. Most of the town is hidden in the mountain, and the whole picture cannot be seen clearly.

Although the environment of the town is a bit remote, the scenery of mountains and rivers is not bad.

After observing the situation, everyone looked at Xue Weiwei one after another.

"...There was obviously a barge before, really, if you don't believe me, ask Team Mo!" Xue Weiwei was anxious.

Mo Ansen kneaded the bridge of his nose. Although he knew that Xue Erwei could not be blamed for this, Xue Erwei's mouth was really powerful, making one wonder if he had opened his mouth.

"Then what should we do now?" Chen Xia measured the width of the river.

The river is very wide, regardless of other things, it takes more than 20 minutes to swim from one end to the other, but there are many other things in the river that they can't ignore.

Although the surface of the river is not too turbulent, the river is very deep. There are more than a dozen sand-breaking boats that illegally beat the river near and far. They beat the entire river bed into potholes.

This caused the river to be dark green. Even people like Chen Xia who had never lived by the river knew that there must be an undercurrent in the water.

A river with an undercurrent, once it goes down, may be sucked into the undercurrent. With such a wide river, there is no way to ask for help.

Facing such a sky-reaching river, a group of several people were silent.

Zhong Qiuchen walked around the river for a short distance. At the end of the dirt road on the ground, he saw a steel cable rope thick as a thumb.

He put down the ax and bent down to pick up the iron chain from the water. The other end of the iron chain was in the water. It should be very long and heavy.

When the others saw it, they moved closer to him.

Mo Ansen raised his fingers slightly, grasping the iron chain with his own ability, and after seeing Zhong Qiuchen let go, he pulled hard.

Mo Ansen was powerful, and the extremely heavy iron cable in Zhong Qiuchen's hands was easily pulled out of the river, creating a wave on the dark green river.

The water wave is downward, and the other head of the iron chain is washed downstream by the river.

Mo Ansen frowned, and he kept pulling the iron chain up to see what was below.

The iron chain continued to roll into the air, at a faster and faster speed, and then suddenly bounced off the whole length, leaving the water completely.

The iron wire at the end of the chain was pried open, and the barge was empty.

Zhong Qiuchen took two steps forward and took out the iron cable head from the water. He turned his head slightly to look at the moonlight, "There is no rust yet, the fracture is smooth, new, it looks like it was cut off by someone."

"Cut off?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and immediately thought of one person.

Wu You.

The iron cable was broken on the opposite side. It should be cut off after the boat reached the other side. It must have been done by the person who crossed the river from this end. Wu You was the only person who needed to cross the river from this end.

Wu You also came here with the big team before, he knew this way.

"Wu You is still alive?" Xue Weiwei was surprised. They had waited on the other side of the hill for several days before, but Wu You and the others never came out. They all thought that Wu You and the others might not be there anymore.

"It seems that they should have escaped directly from the city." Chen Xia said.

"They are sick, and they have to destroy the boat to cross the river by themselves!" Xue Erwei was in a hurry. They couldn't cross the river without a barge.

Mo Ansen's ability is easy to use, but with such a wide river, he can't lift the car across the river out of thin air.

"It's probably an insurance setting. He doesn't want you to take the car back to the paradise. After all, it's related to contribution points." Chen Xia looked at the container truck behind.

At that time, Wu You and the others definitely couldn't take the car with them after they escaped from the city. This kind of damage can only be done.

"That bastard!" Xue Weiwei was angry.

The situation was too chaotic at that time, so Wu You and the others escaped first and didn't blame them, but after they left the city, it was fine if they didn't wait for them, and they actually plotted against them.

"Then what should we do now?" Chen Xiaochen looked at Zhong Qiuchen and Mo Ansen.

Zhong Qiuchen's attention has been on the river since he watched the chain break. He took advantage of the gap between a few people talking and climbed up the low slope on the side, looking into the distance from a high place.

Under the darkness of night, the surface of the river was full of waves, and they could see the nearby places, but it was hazy in the distance.

"What?" Xue Weiwei was puzzled.

"The boat is so big, they can't sink it," Zhong Qiuchen said.

Zhong Qiuchen has never seen a barge with his own eyes, but he wants to know how big a boat can carry cars. Such a huge monster, if Mo Ansen can destroy it, Zhong Qiuchen believes that even if Wu You and the others have three times the number .

"You mean..." Chen Xia realized, and immediately looked downstream.

"What?" Xue Weiwei didn't know why, so he looked around.

"It's impossible for them to destroy the barge, so after cutting off the iron lock, the barge must have drifted down the current, but I don't know how far it has drifted." Chen Xiaochen explained.

"Gone with the wind?" Xue Weiwei understood, and hurriedly climbed up to find the barge.

Chen Xia also climbed up to the high place, reminding Xue Weiwei while climbing, "Keep your voice down, don't attract the zombies."

There is a village not far from them. The village is not big, but there are definitely zombies in it.

When they went up to a high place, a group of people stretched their necks and looked around, but they couldn't see the barge as far as they could see.

After looking around again, and still not finding anything, Chen Xia looked at Zhong Qiuchen, "Why don't you look for it tomorrow morning? It's too dark now, maybe you missed it."

Zhong Qiuchen nodded, it was the only way to do it now.

Zhong Qiuchen took the lead and came down from the short slope. He washed his hands by the river and looked at Mo Ansen.

"Rest first." Mo Ansen turned his head and walked towards the container truck.

Zhong Qiuchen moved along, and during the movement, he found that Xue Erwei was still on the low slope, and he looked up.

"There seems to be a vegetable here." In the darkness, Xue Weiwei squatted on the ground and looked through the haystack, his eyes were bright, "Let me take a look, maybe I can find something to eat."

Zhong Qiuchen was dumbfounded, Xue Weiwei was really able to live to a certain extent.

After going down the hill, Zhong Qiuchen returned to the truck and saw Mo Ansen who was getting on the truck to take a rest. He paused and didn't follow him into the truck immediately.

"It's my turn to watch the night with Xue Weiwei..." Chen Xia arranged the night watch.

"En." Zhong Qiuchen was careless.

After standing outside for a while, after the night watch was arranged, Zhong Qiuchen followed Chen Xiaochen into the container truck.

The three of them found a place to lie down and fell asleep quickly.

The temperature by the river was low, coupled with the continuous night wind at night, after Zhong Qiuchen fell asleep, he always felt chilly. In a daze, he thought about getting up and looking for clothes, but he couldn't overcome his exhaustion.

The temperature seems to go up in the middle of the night, not so cold.

As soon as it was dawn, when Zhong Qiuchen woke up the next day, he found that there was an extra piece of clothing on his body.

In the carriage, Chen Xiaochen and Mo Ansen were nowhere to be seen, and they both got off the carriage.

Zhong Qiuchen took his clothes and got out of the car. During the movement, he smelled a faint smell of vegetables in the air, which made his throat glide uncontrollably, and the hunger in his stomach became stronger.

When getting off the container truck, because the feeling of hunger was too strong, Zhong Qiuchen almost couldn't stand still.

Landing on the ground, Zhong Qiuchen staggered forward, seeing that he was about to hit a short slope beside him, his arm was grabbed by someone.

Zhong Qiuchen looked back and saw the person holding him clearly, he instinctively held his breath.

Mo Ansen let go of his hand, "The ground is uneven, be careful."

Zhong Qiuchen felt the gradually disappearing body temperature on his arms, and couldn't help feeling a sense of loss in his heart. He handed over the clothes he was holding, "Thank you."

"Yeah." Mo Ansen took it and walked away.

"You're awake, come quickly!" Under the morning light, Xue Weiwei tried his best to suppress but was still full of excitement, his voice came from one side.

Zhong Qiuchen heard the words and looked.

Xue Weiwei got a pot from nowhere, and dug an earthen stove on the ground, and now he is cooking a pot of green vegetables in the pot.

There are several kinds of green vegetables, including small cabbage with small petals, and lettuce cut into chunks, and there are some other green vegetables in it. Because they are almost ripe, Zhong Qiuchen can't recognize them.

Smelling the familiar aroma in the air, even though Zhong Qiuchen's stomach was churning, he still couldn't help swallowing.

It was okay when he was in the safe house, he grew some vegetables himself, although there were only a few.But since leaving the safe house, he has hardly eaten vegetables for more than a month.

"Hey, I went to the village and stole a pot at dawn this morning." Xue Erwei was full of pride.

At the end, he did not forget to point to the small pile of green vegetables piled up next to Zhong Qiuchen, which he picked in the dark during the vigil last night, enough for them to eat for several days.

Beside Xue Erwei, Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen were squatting on one left and one on the right. Their faces were the same color as the vegetables in the pot. They were too green, as if they were about to suffer some painful torture.

Zhong Qiuchen looked at the vegetables in the pot, and then looked at Chen Xia and Chen Xiaochen who looked pained. Surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his eyes as if lost.

"Have you found the boat?" Zhong Qiuchen changed the subject.

"I found it. After dawn, I went around the area and found it." Chen Xia said immediately.

Chen Xia left from the pot, and after giving Zhong Qiuchen a follow-up gesture, he led Zhong Qiuchen downstream.

Down the river was the direction of the small village to their left.

They quickly walked to the edge of the flood control forest between the village and the river. Outside the forest, Chen Xia took a look at the forest, made sure that there were no zombies inside, and continued to walk forward with Zhong Qiuchen.

Walking through the woods and coming to the cobblestone river beach at the end of the woods, Chen Xia stopped and pointed to the opposite side of the river.

Zhong Qiuchen looked in the direction he pointed, and on the opposite side of the river was a low cliff with a height of five or six meters. On the cliff was a forest, and some buildings could be seen from time to time in the forest. Opposite to form a huge town.

In the water at the foot of the town, a big boat that is different from other boats without a roof and the whole body is long and straight into a rectangle, is rising and falling with the current.

It is too far away from here, it is less than the size of two thumbs from a distance.

"The depth of the water over there just forms a sharp bend. It is estimated that the boat drifted downstream after being released before, and then got stuck there." Chen Xia analyzed.

Zhong Qiuchen raised her eyes and looked at the building above the boat.

The boat just floated in front of the town on the opposite side, and things immediately became troublesome. Now it was not just a question of how to get the boat over, once they made a noise and disturbed the town above, they would not even think about running away.

"We can cross the river from the upper reaches with the iron cables first, go up the road at the foot of the opposite mountain first, and then follow that road to the downstream, tie the boat with the iron cables and let Mo Ansen pull it over." Chen Xia said.

"That's the only way." Zhong Qiuchen agreed.

While the two were talking, a figure appeared in the woods, and Mo Ansen came to him.

"Xue Weiwei told you to eat something," Mo Ansen said.

Zhong Qiuchen glanced at Chen Xia, Chen Xia's face that had just eased up just now had turned pale again, with an expression of pain.

In the morning of Zhongqiu, he was thoughtful.

Mo Ansen watched Zhong Qiuchen quietly, seeing that Zhong Qiuchen's gaze was always on Chen Xia, his lips were slightly clenched uncontrollably.

"What are you talking about?" Mo Ansen approached.

"I'm talking about how to get the boat here." Chen Xia pointed to the location of the barge on the other side of the river, "Can you get it here directly?"

Mo Ansen looked over there and saw the position of the boat. He frowned after a little consideration, "It's too far away, and it's already on the edge of my control range. If I forcibly drag it over, it will definitely create noise and attract zombies to the town. .”

Although his control over power has gone up to a higher level now, that was only two days ago, he hasn't fully adapted to it yet, and the ship is too far away from him, he can't even guarantee not to destroy the ship.

The river is very wide, the edge of the river bank is concave inwards, the barges are at least a few tons, and the town on the opposite side is very close to the river, all these add up to make things troublesome.

Once the zombies in the opposite town are alarmed, they will have no way to leave even if they cross the river. At that time, the only way they have left is to deal with the zombies in the entire town.

And whether there are other villages and towns on the other side of the town, they don't know now. If there are villages over there, it will form countless chain reactions.

"It seems that we can only use the previous method." Chen Xia looked at Zhong Qiuchen.

Zhong Qiuchen looked at the river in front of him solemnly. It was already difficult to cross the river, and it would be even more difficult if he had to bring an iron rope.

Zhong Qiuchen took the lead and walked back.

Chen Xia followed immediately.

Mo Ansen glanced at Chen Xia and followed quietly.

002.

When the three of them went back, Xue Weiwei had already taken the bowls and chopsticks and was dividing the vegetables. Several large white porcelain bowls were laid out one by one, and each bowl was filled to the brim.

"Dinner is ready!" Xue Weiwei shouted excitedly to everyone.

Chen Xia took a deep breath, put on a posture of going all out, and stepped forward, and then quickly picked the bowl with the fewest vegetables in all the bowls before Chen Xiaochen.

Chen Xiaochen turned cold, and immediately shot the knife with a glance.

Chen Xia is not afraid, compared to eating, Chen Xiaochen's sharp eyes can be said to be cute.

After Chenxia, ​​Chen Xiaochen stood on tiptoe on the dirt slope, trying to stretch her neck to choose the least bowl among the remaining row of bowls.

Looking down the row, Chen Xiaochen's eyes lit up when he saw the least bowl, and he trotted quickly to get it.

Before his outstretched hand could touch the bowl, another Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and that person took away the bowl he had chosen.

Being robbed of the bowl for the second time, Chen Xiaochen was determined to kill someone, and he looked at the owner of that hand with a dark face.

Lifting her head, seeing Zhong Qiuchen's face, the ferocious and murderous intent on Chen Xiaochen's face instantly froze.

Zhong Qiuchen was looking at him with confused eyes.

Chen Xiaochen was stunned for a moment, his face flushed instantly, because of his small size, he couldn't behave as maturely as Chen Xia, and he couldn't act like an ordinary child to cling to Zhong Qiuchen, so this is him A rare opportunity to interact with Zhong Qiuchen.

"You..." Chen Xiaochen's voice changed due to excitement.

"No need to grab, there is still in the pot, if there is not enough food, you can refill it." Xue Weiwei got out, and he had already eaten.

Zhong Qiuchen nodded, took the chopsticks and went to the side to find a place to squat down to eat.

They don't even have a stool in the wilderness, so naturally they don't pay much attention to how convenient they are.

Seeing Zhong Qiuchen walk away and seeing himself miss the opportunity, Chen Xiaochen was extremely depressed.

He stepped forward with a sleepy expression, and he didn't even bother to choose the least one from the remaining bowls, so he took a bowl casually and walked away.

Holding the bowl that was almost as big as his face, Chen Xiaochen's face turned greener and greener, he looked at Chen Xia at the side, and walked over with the bowl, raised his head, with a cute face, "Dad, I can't finish it. "

Chen Xia, who had a sullen face in agony and tried to stuff something into his mouth, choked suddenly when he heard the words. He coughed twice, and looked down viciously at the kid at his feet.

He can't finish his own, Chen Xiaochen don't mess with him!

"Father..." Chen Xiaochen held the bowl in both hands, his mouth was flattened, his tone was extremely aggrieved, and he cried when Chen Xia ignored him.

Chen Xia looked up, Zhong Qiuchen, Mo Ansen and Xue Weiwei had all looked over.

Chen Xia tried hard to suppress the killing intent in his heart, he raised the corners of his mouth, and lowered his head with a smile on his face, "...Daddy's good son, you have to eat more to grow taller, you know?"

Short hands and short feet are easy to die early.

"But I really can't finish it." Chen Xiaochen looked at the bowl in front of her, with steam in her eyes.

Chen Xia looked at Chen Xiaochen's grievance that seemed to be about to cry at any moment, and her teeth clicked.

"Father." Chen Xiaochen twisted her body coquettishly.

Seeing Chen Xiaochen like that, the muscles on Chen Xia's face suddenly twitched more cheerfully, can Chen Xiaochen show some face?

"Father..." Chen Xiaochen raised the bowl in his hand with an innocent face.

The muscles on Chen Xia's face twitched uncontrollably, and he looked up again at Zhong Qiuchen and the other three who were looking at him, then squatted down and picked some vegetables from Chen Xiaochen's bowl with gritted teeth.

"It's still too much." Chen Xiaochen smiled with his back to everyone, but his tone was still innocent.

Chen Xia's teeth are grinding, just wait for him!

Taking a panoramic view of this scene, Zhong Qiuchen looked at the untouched vegetables in his bowl, and raised his head to look at other people, to see if he could share some.

Before Zhong Qiuchen could see clearly what was in other people's bowls, there was an extra bowl in front of him.

Zhong Qiuchen looked and saw that the person who handed over the bowl was Mo Ansen.

Mo Ansen knew that Zhong Qiuchen had always had a small appetite, which was a habit he had developed in the place of origin.

Xue Weiwei didn't think so much when he filled the food, he packed it evenly, and everyone had a big bowl full.

Zhong Qiuchen was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, and there was a little more smile in his eyes.

Mo Ansen looked at Zhong Qiuchen's crooked eyebrows and eyes, his heart paused after being depressed for a few days, and then he let out a long silent sigh.

"You should eat more." Mo Ansen said, Zhong Qiuchen was very thin.

"Okay." Zhong Qiuchen responded and quickly distributed the contents of the bowl to Mo Ansen.

After distributing nearly half to Mo Ansen, Zhong Qiuchen looked at the vegetables in the bowl no longer felt so uncomfortable. He squatted on the ground and moved around, next to Mo Ansen, and started to eat with chopsticks.

Green vegetables are just simple boiled vegetables without even salt, but they should be delicious, but he can't taste that kind of deliciousness now.

Mo Ansen felt the occasional touch from his hand and the faint body temperature under the touch, and casually ate the food in the bowl.

Perhaps because he was absent-minded, the whole breakfast process passed quickly, and when Mo Ansen came back to his senses, everyone else had already finished eating.

After eating and drinking enough, a group of people gathered around the river to discuss what to do next.

They definitely want to get a barge, but now the boat is on the opposite side. If they want to get a boat, they can only cross the river by themselves first, and then see if they can find a way to get the boat over.

This is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to operate in practice. Just crossing the river is already extremely troublesome.

"Can you swim?" Xue Weiwei asked while taking off his shirt.

"Yes." Zhong Qiuchen looked at Mo Ansen, "Don't go into the water."

The wound on Mo Ansen's body has not healed yet, he should not even walk around, but should lie down and rest.

Mo Ansen nodded, obedient.

Chen Xia looked at the river in front of him, "I should."

"Should?" Xue Weiwei looked suspiciously, but he was relieved after thinking about it, Chen Xia's mind was not normal.

"Try it and you'll know." Chen Xia said, taking off his shirt while walking towards the river.

He can't swim, but he's not human either. In terms of physical fitness, he is stronger than ordinary people. Even if he doesn't breathe for a while, he can't die.

Xue Weiwei had already entered the water, and he walked around near the shore to adapt to the water temperature.

Chen Xia imitated Xue Erwei's appearance and went into the water. After walking around the diving area, he slowly headed towards the deep water area, trying to swim.

On the shore, Zhong Qiuchen listened to Mo Ansen while exercising his body for preparations.

Mo Ansen fished out the iron rope that was dragged out of the water last night, "After you tie it up, give me a signal and I will pull it."

The volume and weight of the barge itself is much heavier than that of ordinary boats. It is almost impossible to pull it with a few people swimming in the water, and it is even more impossible to pull it across the river.

The best way is that they find a way to tie up the boat, and then Mo Ansen uses his ability to pull it over.

"Okay." Zhong Qiuchen finished warming up and went into the water.

He didn't go directly to the deep water area, but first went to the shallow water area to get used to it. He learned how to swim when he was a child, and since then he has never had the opportunity to go into the water again.

The river water is cold, not because the temperature is low in the morning, but because the river itself is cold.

It was okay in the shallow water area, but as soon as it entered the deep water area, the chill immediately hit from all directions, making Zhong Qiuchen shiver uncontrollably.

"The iron chain may be very heavy, be careful of drowning." Mo Ansen glanced at Zhong Qiuchen and then looked away.

Not too obvious but with explosive muscles and looming abdominal muscles. Zhong Qiuchen is in excellent shape, but a little thin.

He was already a little thin, and he looked even thinner when he was not wearing clothes. It hurts to look at him like that.

"Wow -" a cry suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and there was only a pool of splashing water left.

Zhong Qiuchen stared there for a while before realizing that Xue Weiwei had disappeared.

Zhong Qiuchen hurried towards that side, and before he moved, Xue Erwei emerged from the water.

Sticking his head out and taking a breath, Xue Weiwei wiped his face and looked at his feet in shock.

Before Zhong Qiuchen asked what was going on, Xue Weiwei hurriedly reminded, "The water here is so deep, and there is a steep slope below, estimated to be seven or eight meters."

While speaking, Xue Weiwei walked towards Zhong Qiuchen and the others.

Zhong Qiuchen half-swimmed and half walked over, took a deep breath and dived into the water, opened his eyes in the water, and groped to check in the chaos.

Sure enough, right at the edge of the shallow waters where they acclimatized to the river was a very steep cobblestone escarpment.

Xue Weiwei probably stood on the edge just now, slipped on his feet, and rolled down directly following the stone.Although he floated up quickly because of the buoyancy of the water, he was terrified by the sudden approach.

Sticking his head out of the water, Zhong Qiuchen wiped his face and reminded, "There are probably many places like this in the river, be careful of undercurrents."

After swimming in the shallow water for a while to adapt to the water temperature, the three of them went ashore and tore a piece of clothing to weave into a rope, and tied one end of the iron rope to Xue Weiwei.

"Can you do it?" Chen Xia asked.

The iron chain does not look thick, but it is very long. It takes a lot of effort to lift it up when it is placed on the ground. After entering the water, considering the undercurrent in the river and their feet not touching the ground, it is estimated that the weight will be doubled. .

It's like letting them swim with a huge rock tied to their body, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Xue Weiwei touched the iron chain on his waist, feeling a little uncertain, "If you can't do it, you have to do it, or do you have other ways?"

Chen Xia was silent, he really had no other way.

"You swim first, if you can't do it, just talk, we will change." Zhong Qiuchen reminded that it is impossible to swim the whole river alone, so the three of them need to replace each other.

"En." Xue Erwei touched the rope around his waist, took a deep breath, and walked into the water.

Zhong Qiuchen instinctively looked back at Mo Ansen beside him, and after the latter also instinctively nodded to him, he followed into the water.

The shallow water area is okay, the iron chain is not too heavy, Xue Weiwei can drag the iron chain to move by himself, and after entering the deep water area, his speed slows down immediately.

Zhong Qiuchen and Chen Xia followed him from left to right, and when they saw him slow down, they both looked over.

Xue Weiwei got used to it for a while, and continued to swim forward.

Xue Weiwei swam quite strenuously, and had to stop after swimming for a while and turn back to pull the iron chain behind him. Seeing this, Mo Ansen on the shore directly suspended his iron chain into the air.

With less resistance, Xue Weiwei suddenly swam much more smoothly.

Seeing him like this, both Zhong Qiuchen and Chen Xia heaved a sigh of relief.

No one spoke, Xue Weiwei kept swimming forward holding his breath, followed by Zhong Qiuchen and Chen Xia.

After swimming a third of the distance in one breath, Xue Weiwei's speed gradually slowed down. He bit the bullet and swam forward for more than ten meters before coming to a complete stop.

Floating in the water, Xue Weiwei kept stepping on the water while gasping for breath, "I can't do it, I have to rest."

Zhong Qiuchen and Chen Xia immediately approached him.

"This iron chain is so heavy, it's heavier than before when we reached the middle of the river." Xue Weiwei didn't stop his legs while talking, because almost only one of his head was exposed because the iron chain was pulling.

With the help of treading water, Zhongqiuchen and Chenxia were able to float on the water with both arms.

"Substitution." After approaching Xue Erwei, Zhong Qiuchen stretched out his hand to pull Xue Erwei, trying to untie the rope on his body.

Xue Weiwei didn't refuse, he was about to lose his strength.

Xue Erwei kept stepping on the water and kept moving. Zhong Qiuchen couldn't find the position of the knot after touching it several times. He had to take a deep breath and dive into the water.

Seeing this, Chen Xia hurried over to help.

Chen Xia grabbed Xue Weiwei and tried to lift him up, giving him a chance to breathe and keeping him still.

Zhong Qiuchen moved very quickly. Although it took him some time to find the knot, it didn't take him too long to untie it.

Untying the rope, Zhong Qiuchen tied the rope around his waist after a short rest.

Almost the moment he tied the rope, a pulling force came from the water, pulling him down.

Zhong Qiuchen had to start treading water hard like Xue Weiwei did to prevent himself from sinking to the bottom.

Resurfaced, Zhong Qiuchen turned his head to look at the opposite bank, gritted his teeth, and swam towards that side with all his might.

The moment he was swimming, a huge pulling force suddenly came from behind him, pulling him backwards and downwards.

Zhong Qiuchen was pulled by that force almost immediately and sank into the water. The heavy seawater poured in from all directions, continuously pouring into his ears, nostrils and mouth.

Everything came too suddenly and too violently, which made him confused, and made him unable to tell which side was above for a while, and also gave him the illusion that death was approaching.

He tried to untie the rope around his waist, but the undercurrent was so strong that he couldn't feel the knot at all.

Unable to save himself, death is approaching, many messy images flashed in his mind instantly, those of the children's palace, the chaotic crowd, Mo Ansen rushing into the river nervously...

The oxygen in his body was quickly consumed due to the acceleration of his heartbeat, and the suffocation that followed made his heartbeat faster, deafening like eager drumbeats, and made him more oxygen-deprived.

In the confusion, Zhong Qiuchen's consciousness was separated. He clearly knew that he was drowning. He even knew that Xue Erwei and Chen Xia were beside him. The moment he was drowning, they turned around to catch him, but he was no longer where he was just now. .

Especially Chen Xia, he even heard Chen Xia's heartbeat.

That feeling was very strange, so strange that he even seemed to feel the anxiety overflowing from Chen Xia's chest, but it was obviously impossible.

Before he could wonder why, two other thoughts broke into his mind, Chen Xiaochen also went into the water, and Mo Ansen was swimming towards him.

Mo Ansen was terrified, his mind went blank, he could only instinctively swim towards Zhong Qiuchen, nothing happened to Zhong Qiuchen, absolutely nothing happened to Zhong Qiuchen...

The blood poured into his brain, instantly dulling Mo Ansen's thoughts, making him unable to move his hands and feet in the water, but what made him even more uncomfortable was the weird pain in his head that didn't belong to him and his desire to do something for someone. What an impulse.

That person is suffering, he must do something for him...

The feeling came so suddenly that it even overwhelmed the uneasiness in his heart caused by Zhong Qiuchen's drowning, and completely drew his attention away.

Realizing this, Mo Ansen felt an unknown fire in his heart. He forcibly suppressed that weird feeling. He didn't want to do anything for anyone except to find Zhong Qiuchen.

He doesn't care, no matter who that person is, whether he is dead or alive, he doesn't care!

As his thoughts popped out, the weird feeling in his heart suddenly became stronger, as if it was going to crush him.

The veins on Mo Ansen's forehead popped up, get out!

"Zhongqiuchen!" Chen Xiaochen's voice suddenly sounded with obvious surprise.

Mo Ansen calmed down instantly, and he suddenly raised his head to look in the direction where Zhong Qiuchen was. There were only two figures left there just now, but now a third figure also emerged from the water.

Zhong Qiuchen poked his head out from the water, he tilted his head up and panted heavily, "...grass...water plants..."

"Zhong Qiuchen!" Xue Erwei was so frantic that he didn't catch anyone in the water. Hearing Zhong Qiuchen's voice and seeing Zhong Qiuchen emerging from the water, he was about to cry, and he hurried to Zhong Qiuchen's side.

The same is true for Chen Xia, his mind is buzzing, his chest is still filled with the fear and despair of Zhong Qiuchen just now, which drives him crazy, "Are you okay?!"

"The iron chain... was entangled by water plants." Zhong Qiuchen explained while panting heavily.

When Xue Weiwei swam with the iron cable, the iron cable was always in a semi-floating state. When they stopped to change people, the iron cable fell to the bottom of the river.

"Zhong—" Xue Erwei approached Zhong Qiuchen, and the moment he reached out to grab Zhong Qiuchen, he was stunned.

Under Zhong Qiuchen's messy hair, his eyes were pitch-black, not the kind of pitch-black eyeballs, but the entire eye sockets were pitch-black without any whites.

In the dark eye sockets that seemed to swallow everything in the world, a pair of golden pupils exuded a dazzling light, and there seemed to be something red surging in the golden color.

Those eyes are extremely strange, but also shockingly beautiful!

Xue Weiwei shook his head, and looked again, Zhong Qiuchen had already lowered his head and tried hard to step on the water, trying not to let himself sink again.

"Untie the iron rope first!" Xue Weiwei shook his head and hurried to find the rope.

He didn't care about the barge anymore, they could think of another way, if it didn't work, they could even go back, and at worst, they would just risk crossing the previous city, no matter what, they couldn't let Zhong Qiuchen die here.

Chen Xia was also approaching at this time, he grabbed Zhong Qiuchen and brought him up, while looking for the rope.

"No need!" Zhong Qiuchen refused, he grabbed Chen Xia's fingertips under the water that had grown sharp claws and was about to cut the rope directly.

"The water plants have been cut off." Zhong Qiuchen looked at Xue Weiwei who was at the side.

They have all swum one-third of the distance, and it would not be worth it if they gave up going back now.

And he's running out of time.

He doesn't know what's going on with his hunger, so he has to leave Mo Ansen and Xue Weiwei before he can't control himself and attack Mo Ansen and Xue Weiwei in a frenzy of hunger, he has to...

"But..." Xue Weiwei disagreed.Zhong Qiuchen's eyes were as usual, as if it was all his illusion just now.

"If you want to go back to the previous city, that lunatic might still be there." Zhong Qiuchen looked over with a strong attitude.

Immediately in Xue Weiwei's mind, Hai Yin whose arms and legs were cut off by an invisible blade appeared, which made his face extremely ugly.

"I'm fine." After Zhong Qiuchen regained his strength, he let go of Chen Xia, and he continued to swim forward.

When Chen Xia and Xue Weiwei saw it, they could only grit their teeth and continue swimming.

While swimming, Xue Weiwei looked towards Mo Ansen behind him. Mo Ansen had already swam a certain distance towards them and was floating in the water looking at them at the moment.

Seeing him looking over, Mo Ansen immediately gestured for them to turn back, and the iron chain was no longer needed.

Xue Erwei looked at Zhong Qiuchen, and Zhong Qiuchen had obviously seen it too, but he didn't turn his head, but continued to swim towards the opposite bank.

Xue Weiwei was in a dilemma, and he also felt that he should go back, which was too risky, in case something happened to Zhong Qiuchen
