Chapter 570: Chapter 570: Rapid Stream
The water is rushing fast!
The water level is dropping rapidly!
Su Man couldn’t control her own body. The turbulent flow swept her away, and with a bang, she smashed into a large tree!
The massive impact almost shattered her back. If it weren’t for her enhanced physique, she probably would have been knocked unconscious on the spot!
She didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if it were Lu Yuwen who was hit. Could he withstand the force?
Now the only hope was that he had, as planned, used a rope to wrap around a branch. Otherwise, being swept into the open space, from a height of four to five stories, would be enough to kill him!
Even if he was lucky enough not to die from the fall, the water would sweep him into a colossal pit nearly 4000 square meters in size. Even if Su Man wanted to save him, she wouldn’t know where to find him!
Her only chance was now!
But where was Lu Yuwen now?!
The water level dropped rapidly. Su Man looked around and finally saw Lu Yuwen. He was tangled in a tree, the top half of his body emerged as the water level dropped.
“Lu Yuwen!” Su Man shouted at him.
Lu Yuwen was floating in the water, his life or death unknown. A bit farther away, there was another figure, being shaken ceaselessly by the water, and too showed no signs of life.
Between the two of them was a long rope, hanging from a branch. The branch couldn’t bear the weight of the two and could snap at any moment.
Su Man gritted her teeth and let go. She started drifting with the water current, grabbing onto the rope between Lu Yuwen and Zhang Ke!
In an instant, the branch carrying the weight of three people immediately broke!
Su Man collided again with a tree trunk in the swift current. She grunted with pain, her left hand hooked around a branch while her right hand held tightly onto the rope. The immense pull nearly broke her hand bones!
She intended to pull Lu Yuwen closer but her injured left hand gave out and let go. Under the force of the water, she and Lu Yuwen collided and were both swept away even farther!
Within moments, they were swept more than a hundred meters away!
Su Man felt searing pain all over her body.
Under the rapid current, countless branches tore against her skin as if slashed by a thousand swords. Her right hand gripped the rope so tightly, it felt as if it was about to rip apart.
With all her strength, she swung her left hand around, trying to find something to hold on to in the water. Finally, when she collided with a lamppost, she managed to hook on to it!
But at this point, they were already near the edge of the open space; the ferocious waves gushed downwards like a waterfall. Her entire body was in pain, her right hand appeared to be holding onto not a rope, but the edge of a blade! It was tearing into her palm!
Su Man gritted her teeth, tears streaming down her face, pain wracking her body, making her weep out loud.
Using up her last bit of strength, she tried pulling Lu Yuwen to her side by the lamppost, all the while shouting his name: “Lu Yuwen!… Lu Yuwen!…”
Lu Yuwen weakly opened his eyes and silently watched her.
Submerged and surfacing, the water kept washing over his face, drowning his mouth and nose. His face was so pale it was frightening, it seemed like he could lose his life at any moment.
Su Man shouted at him, “Lu Yuwen! Wake up! When the water level drops a bit more, we’ll be safe!”
Indeed, the water level was dropping rapidly, but right now Su Man was not pulling one person, but two.
Zhang Ke’s body floated not far away. Each wave that hit his body brought a gravitational pull, equivalent to another round of torture on Su Man’s right hand!
Lu Yuwen whispered hoarsely, “Forget it, let go…
Su Man clenched her teeth and shook her head desperately, her eyes red.
Looking at her, Lu Yuwen somehow managed a weak smile and opened his mouth again: “Su Man, remove… remove my glasses. They were just a prop… the reason why I could tell the arrows in the maze were messed up… now, I give it to you… in the future, you will be very smart. You will never… never have to envy others…”
“No! Don’t!” Su Man sobbed, “Lu Yuwen are you still a man or not! Stop talking like you’ve given up! We will survive!!!”
A piece of driftwood floated in the fast current, suddenly hitting Lu Yuwen’s shoulder, and his body instantly submerged underwater.
“Lu Yuwen!!!” Su Man shrieked, plunging herself into the water!
