fall

The vortex moved gently in the water, slowly approaching the ice floe.

The moment it touched the ice floe, it suddenly turned into a meat grinder in the water, surging violently to stir the ice floe on the water!

Just listen to "crack".

Cracks appeared on the ice floe, and the ice layer began to break and fall, creating gaps.

The crowd on the ice floe let out a scream and moved away from the location of the whirlpool.

Then the people on the ice floe shouted:

"Go, go, stay away from the whirlpool!"

The floe started to move, and it slowly swam forward, but the speed of the floe was far slower than the speed of the vortex.The whirlpool bit the tail of the ice floe tightly, like a man-eating shark with a huge mouth, it must bite its prey into its mouth!

At this moment, the black car suddenly appeared, like a black star across the night, slamming into the vortex!

The car crashed into the vortex, and the vortex set off waves, which pushed the ice floe up and down, pushed the ice floe away, and also pushed the whirlpool away.

The ice floe, which accommodated more than 50 people, finally seized the opportunity to escape from the whirlpool.

In this short period of time, the ice floe under the feet of more than 50 people has shrunk by two-thirds, and the rest of the people crowded on the remaining one-third of the land, looking at the whirlpool with fear, seeing a few strands of blackness emanating from the whirlpool. The fog and vortex disappeared on the surface of the river, and the water surface calmed down. The stiff air and cold wind rushed in from all directions.

Suddenly, a child's cry sounded.

Among the tourists, someone's child cried loudly in the dark.

Sharp and loud cries pierced the silence that enveloped the crowd, panicked noises rang out, and all kinds of people were talking.

The old Christians held the cross tightly and murmured the teachings of God: "This is the punishment from God, we are all drunk!"

The same old tourist shook his head tremblingly: "What punishment, we met a ghost, and the water ghost has found a substitute!"

Before the two groups of people with opposite views matched each other, a third voice sounded.

A man in a particularly elegant black suit and a gold watch on his wrist spoke.

He briefly and forcefully interrupted the voices of the others, and said in a high-ranking, commanding tone: "What is the situation, we will notify the government to come and study it after we go out. Now our primary purpose is to ensure our own safety. Life is safe, get out of this weird place!"

As soon as the voice of the man with the gold watch rang out, it attracted the attention of the people around him.

Afterwards, everyone immediately discovered that on the ice floe where the man with the gold watch was, besides a group of well-dressed people, there were also the captain, the deputy captain, and many crew members.

The well-dressed group of people first affirmed the gold watch man's words: "That's right, put everything else down first, we should leave this place first!"

On behalf of the other staff members on board, the captain agreed: "We agree with Mr. Wei's opinion! Anyway, the cruise ship is going to sink, and we need to stay away from the cruise ship as soon as possible, otherwise the vortex caused by the sinking of the cruise ship will drag us all into it." Underwater!"

With these people at the head, the words of gods and ghosts disappeared, and more voices echoed and left:

"Let's go out first, the wind on the river is cold, and children and the elderly can't stand it."

"And the ice under our feet, who knows when it will disappear."

Amidst the successive voices, the surrounding ice floes began to move towards the man with the gold watch.

When the ice floes collide, a new ice layer naturally grows in the middle, fusing the two ice floes into one.

People continued to join, and ice floes continued to form. The ice floes that were originally huge for the man with the gold watch had now turned into a small island.

The captain on the ice floe observed the surrounding directions. With his intuition, he picked a fog to look at the thinner direction, and said to everyone: "Let's get out of this thick fog first. Don't stick to it completely. Let's spread out. In case of any unexpected situation, you can respond flexibly..."

The man with the gold watch said something to the captain at this moment.

The captain nodded quickly, and then he looked in the direction of the traffic light, beckoned to Sui Wen: "Little friend, come to us, come with us."

Accompanied by the voice of the captain, many tourists turned to the direction of Sui Wen.

Under the eyes of so many people, especially so many old people, women, and children, it suddenly became difficult to retell the truth.

He couldn't open his mouth to tell these people that as long as the taboos still exist, you won't be able to get out of this fog, and you will just circle back and forth in the fog.

Sui Wen looked at everyone.

Everyone also looked at Sui Wen.

They were all waiting for Sui Wen's response. In their eyes, confusion was like Jiang Wu, vaguely entwining people.

After a brief silence, Sui Wen made a choice.

He opened his mouth and rejected the captain's suggestion: "No, I won't go to your place, I still have things to do."

After saying this, without waiting for the captain on the opposite side to speak again, he added: "But I can lend you my companion by my side. His name is the Black Knight."

As he spoke, he pointed to the black knight.

He was sure that it would be a dead end for everyone to go out like this.

But he wasn't sure if he, who was looking for the cruise ship back, could get rid of the taboo.

Since both forward and backward are dangerous...then maybe this can be done.

He and Shi Qianyin walked back alone, and at the same time they lent the black knight to everyone.

If they got rid of the bogey before the rest of them came out of the mist, all was well; if they didn't, then at least the black knight could protect everyone as much as possible!

Having made a decision, Sui Wen seized the time and drove the ice floes to swim towards the captain's position. When the two ice floes got close, he directed the black knight to take the tourists on his own ice floes to the captain's place. ice floe island.

Suwen only had two or three tourists on the ice, and the handover was extremely simple, but in the blink of an eye, Suwen had already transported the people from his side to the other side.

After sending people off, the ice floe did not shrink. Sui Wen once again controlled the ice floe, and the ice floe, as big as two tables put together, swayed the river, retreated slowly, and made several meanders on the river. Long, shrinking transverse stripes.

The horizontal stripes disappeared several times, and a circle of tiny ripples suddenly appeared in the middle.

From the corner of Sui Wen's eyes, he saw the circle of ripples, and immediately became alert, and shouted to the people in front: "The school of fish is coming, be careful of the school of fish!"

His voice resounded on the river just now, and the circle of ripples hidden in the horizontal stripes reappeared in pieces on the water surface.

As fast as the first time, the densely packed school of fish is like dense clusters of arrows, 90.00% of the clusters of arrows are covering the floating ice island where the gold watch man and the captain are, and the remaining [-]% are scattered around It was too late to merge into the ice floe of the floating island, there was only one percent left, and two or three fish sporadically flew towards Sui Wen perfunctorily, not very vigorously.

Standing beside Sui Wen, Shi Qianyin didn't even bother to draw out his knife, he just lifted it up and grabbed the fish into his hand, watching them thump and turn into black mist in the palm of his hand before disappearing.

On the other side, the whitebaits rushing towards the floating island also landed on the floating island one after another.

Contrary to what the captain said just now, the whitebait that landed on the island pierced through the thick ice layer without any effort, and the huge floating island was torn apart in the blink of an eye, and turned into large and small ice floes again. The crowd was divided again, and some people fell directly into the water.

Frightened, flustered, confused, struggling.

All kinds of turmoil happened on the river.

Then, a tourist standing alone on the ice floe was completely confused when faced with whitebaits that couldn't hide from each other.

He yelled and danced as if breaking down, and then he didn't know what he did. The ice floe under his feet was like a skateboard, stepping on the river water, he flew a long distance away, and completely left the silver fish in the blink of an eye. Arrow Bush.

From the beginning of his career, Sui Wen quickly observed Jiang Mian, until now, he finally had an idea!

He shouted to the crowd: "Stay apart, don't gather together, three or five people stand together, the ice floe under your feet should not be too big, the smaller the ice floe, the faster you move, the bigger the ice floe, the slower you move! -"

He yelled several times in a row, but at this time, everyone had fallen into a complete headless riot, unable to stop effective actions at all, and could only cry and passively endure all developments of the matter.

Sui Wen shouted again: "Qianyin, Black Knight, cut the ice floes!"

Shi Qianyin and the black knight acted at the same time.

The light of the knife and the light of the spear flashed together, and together with the silver fish, they cut the ice floes under everyone's feet!

The ice floes parted, the river emerged, and among the crowd there was a dense river extending in all directions like a water channel. Even before the crowd dispersed completely, the whitebaits fell from all the heads of the crowd to mostly in the river.

The fish kept falling into the water, and the waves kept splashing.

The tourists who finally woke up were too busy to leave the place where the whitebait fell, but the people who fell into the water were still struggling in the water.

One, two, three.

The person who fell into the water nearby was dragged directly onto the ice floe by Su Wen and Shi Qianyin, and the person who fell into the water in the distance was dragged over by the black car sent by Su Wen.

The ice floes under his feet grew bigger piece by piece, and the speed of the ice floes slowed down bit by bit.

Su Wen was not the only one who felt this, the people behind him who were rescued by him also felt it.The crowd begins to commotion:

"It's time to separate. This ice floe is too big. If this continues, it will be too late to save the people in front. The people on the periphery should be separated."

"Why should we separate out? It's not crowded here. If you want to leave, just leave soon?"

"Why don't you understand? There are too many people and everyone is in danger."

"Whoever proposes, who implements, is it not good to lead by example?"

Above the ice floe led by Sui Wen, two groups of people suddenly quarreled, and there was the last person who fell into the water ahead, Su Wen didn't expend any effort to persuade him.

He glanced at Shi Qianyin.

The two people's eyes met, there was no need for more words, Shi Qianyin understood it, and directly raised the knife, cutting the ice floe under their feet.

Leaving aside its heavy tail, the floating ice immediately returned to its original swiftness.

With just one click, it shoots to the person who is about to sink into the water and rescues him!

The arguing behind them stopped abruptly at this moment.

Although the person rescued by Sui Wen struggled the most in the water, his water skills seemed to be pretty good, and he was generally calm until now, speaking fluently:

"Thank you kid."

Sui Wen took a closer look and found that it was the captain of the cruise ship who rescued him this time.

He looked around the surface of the water again, there were no other drowning people on the water surface, and there was no whirlpool that appeared after someone fell into the water for the first time.

He looked at the calm water, compared it with the first time, and determined his interval of two to three minutes.He said to the crowd:

"The situation is generally clear. The ice floes under our feet are the only ones we can rely on. They can merge with each other or separate from each other. Small pieces of ice floes are fast, but once they are hit by silverfish, they may be knocked over directly; large pieces The speed of the floating ice is slow, although it will not be knocked over by the silverfish, but it will be attacked by the most silverfish, and the silverfish can also smash into the ice. Once someone is submerged in the water..."

Sui Wen paused and continued:

"The surface of the water will generate a vortex, and the vortex can break up the ice floes and bring more people down."

There was silence for a while.

The man with the gold watch spoke again, and at this time he became anxious: "There is nothing to analyze, the most important thing for us now is to rush out of this ghost place! Since we can't work together, then we will separate and rush towards the mist Go, someone will escape!"

The words of a man with a gold watch are just a reflection of the heart of some people.

But before anyone agreed, Sui Wen spoke again:

"But who can guarantee that there will be an exit after the fog?"

He said something lightly and didn't continue.

When the flying fish landed for the second time, he suddenly realized something.

He wanted to save everyone here, but there were too many people, he didn't know how many people he could save, maybe he couldn't even save himself in the end.

Maybe it was the same for me in the past.

I am not only controlled by the princess, nor is I only controlled by the righteousness of the country.

I just want to save people, save everyone who is trapped in the taboo under these superficial appearances...

There was a commotion among the crowd.

Amidst the commotion, a voice suddenly reached Sui Wen's ears: "Do you all feel that... what we are going through now is a bit like a certain game?"

Before anyone else could refute, Sui Wen raised his head: "What game?"

The speaker was a young man, and he brushed his wet, dripping hair: "Big fish eat small fish? They are fast when they are small, but slow when they are big. Once they are attacked by fish bigger than themselves, they will To be eaten...well, the school of silverfish is not quite the same as this 'big fish', but the meaning is similar..."

Sui Wen listened carefully: "I remember that big fish eat small fish is an endless game?"

Young man: "That's not true. Generally, you can pass a level if you get a fixed number of points, but now I don't know how to get 'points'."

Su Wen lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and asked the captain, "What did you do to the cruise ship?"

The topic changed too quickly, and the captain didn't react for a while: "Huh?"

Sui Wen said his guess in one breath: "Did you intentionally damage the ship, let the ship carrying passengers load cargo, did you overload the ship regardless of its bearing capacity; or did you want to abandon it and use a new ship? replace it?"
