Chapter 278: Things in the River
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Was it a man or a woman? Alex frowned. The middle-aged woman was still pushing Alex desperately to get into the river, but Alex pulled her back. He questioned her sternly, “Can you swim?”
The middle-aged woman shook her head anxiously.
Alex: “Since you don’t know how to do it, don’t go down. Wait here, do you hear me?!” With that, he jumped down. Life was at stake. Time waited for no one. Alex slashed at the floating head on the river.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman on the shore jumped down. The water by the river was shallow, and the deeper she went, the deeper she went. As the middle-aged woman walked in, she shouted anxiously, “Daughter! Save my daughter first!” As soon as she finished speaking, she missed a step and sunk into the river! The middle-aged woman subconsciously shouted, “Help! Help!” She instinctively flailed.
Alex was very angry. He had already told her not to e down. She didn’t know how to swim, but she insisted on ing down. He looked at the head in the middle of the river. It was no longer moving. The middle-aged woman was closer to him, only two meters away. If he saved the person in the middle of the river first and turned back, the middle-aged woman might be dead. The head in the middle of the river wasn’t moving. It was very likely that she was already dead.
After Alex made his judgment, he naturally chose the person with the highest probability of survival. When a person was facing an emergency rescue, they would not consider whether this person should be saved or not. Instead, they would consider how to save the most reasonable person.
Alex quickly walked back, lifted the middle-aged woman, and threw her towards the shore. Then, he turned around and swam towards the center of the river.
The middle-aged woman fell solidly into the mud on the shore and cried out. The people on the shore reacted quickly and quickly pulled her up. From afar, they could still hear her cries.
Mrs. Walton and Helena didn’t have Alex’s heaven-defying long legs. They had just reached the shore.
Amelia looked at the river and instantly panicked. “Daddy! Daddy!” She
quickly ran down. Helena quickly followed and even turned around to remind Mrs. Walton, “Old Madam, don’t walk around. Just press the wheelchair brakes and wait here.’
Mrs. Walton nodded repeatedly and grabbed the wheelchair remote control tightly. She even controlled the wheelchair to retreat half a meter. There were too many people here. If she was accidentally knocked down, she would only cause trouble for Alex and Amelia.
Amelia might have short legs, but she ran very fast. Helena turned around and was almost at the riverbank.
“Mia, be careful!” Helena chased after her. “The river’s very slippery. Don’t go over!”
Amelia did not act rashly. She just stood by the river and shouted with her hands clasped, “Daddy! e back!”
Helena arrived quickly and hugged Amelia immediately. The riverside was dark and the road was slippery. If Amelia fell down accidentally, it would be terrible!
The wind was strong, and Alex could only hear himself splashing in the water. At this moment, he had already swam to the center of the river and grabbed the person floating in the river. The moment he grabbed the clothes, Alex felt that his hands were sticky and his palms were slippery. Just as he was wondering why this person had moss on him when he had just fallen in, the person in the river had already been flipped over by him, revealing a pale face and white eyes. It was extremely terrifying.
Moreover, this was a man’s face.
Alex was shocked. At this moment, he felt something grab his ankle and pull him towards the bottom of the river!
Alex: “???” He immediately kicked him!
A normal person would definitely be in a daze for a moment and choke on two mouthfuls of water when they were frightened by a dead corpse with its eyes rolled back. However, Alex did not. Or perhaps, a normal person would be scared half to death when their ankles were suddenly grabbed by something in the water. They would flail in panic and choke on the river water. However, Alex did not. He was very calm from the beginning to the end. He grabbed the floating male corpse with one hand and kicked down ferociously! He had done underwater bat with suspension chains. Ordinary people could not exert strength in the water, but he could.
Alex felt that he had kicked something round because he had slipped after kicking it. The shape was probably like a human head? He did not have time to consider what was under the river. He grabbed the male corpse with one hand and paddled with the other as he quickly swam towards the shore.
However, the thing under the river chased after him relentlessly and quickly grabbed Alex’s foot. Alex, who was swimming forward, was dragged back..
This thing was quite strong!
