Chapter 288: Trapped in Quicksand
Si Xu was not far from the two men in front of him, and he could hear clearly what they said, not to mention that the two men did not try to avoid him.
After hearing what Lin Zhishen said, his expression did not change, but his eyes became a little deeper.
Cannibalism is a common thing in times of natural disasters. He has seen it when he followed Lin Mobai to fight everywhere. What they did was too shocking and outrageous, and he was shocked at the time.
But after the shock
, he was disgusted and nauseated. He could not imagine what kind of mood those people were in when they ate their relatives. Perhaps it was the evil desire that erupted when people were on the verge of death, making people lose their emotions and become slaves driven only by desire.
But no matter what, he couldn't accept it.
But after seeing it so many times, he became numb.
Lin Baoer pursed her lips. Without thinking carefully, she had already constructed the scene in her mind.
A group of hungry and skinny people rushed towards a skinny corpse, dividing and eating it like beasts, with blood dripping, not looking like human beings.
She suddenly felt a little nauseous.
Seeing the resistance and disgust in her expression, Lin Zhishen smiled, "Human nature is like this. In the face of life and death, everything else is meaningless."
"What about you?" Lin Baoer asked back.
Lin Zhishen suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Baoer with deep eyes, "What do you think?"
Lin Baoer frowned, and just as she was about to speak, Yu Sheng in front of her shouted.
"Come here!"
The two were attracted by his voice and looked over. They found a few trees standing in the desert not far away, which was very abrupt.
Yu Sheng was very surprised and ran over in a hurry, shouting as he ran, "It's a jujube tree!"
Lin Baoer was surprised.
She didn't expect that the jujube tree that Yu Sheng had mentioned before was actually found by them. It must be said that this luck is really good.
But just when Yu Sheng was about to run near the jujube tree, his figure suddenly shook and he fell to the ground. Then he slowly sank into the yellow sand.
Seeing this scene, the other three also ran over as they sensed something was wrong. When they found that Si Xu wanted to go straight to pull Yu Sheng, Lin Baoer quickly stopped him and said anxiously, "Don't go!"
Si Xu stopped and looked anxious.
He found that Yu Sheng was being swallowed by the yellow sand, and he was shocked and a little panicked.
"This is quicksand, you will get stuck if you go over!" Lin Baoer ran over and explained quickly, and then stared at Yu Sheng who was trapped in it. Just when she was about to remind him not to move, she found that Yu Sheng had been unusually calm since he got stuck, and he didn't struggle in it.
Because he didn't struggle, he was sinking very slowly, and currently only the part below his thigh was stuck.
"What is quicksand?" After hearing what Lin Baoer said, Si Xu also knew that this thing should not be approached directly. After cautiously taking two steps back, he asked.
But Lin Baoer did not have time to explain to him at the moment.
She just looked around anxiously. She had only seen it by chance before. The quicksand in the desert is similar to the swamp. As long as anything is trapped, the more you struggle, the faster you sink, and it is difficult to get out by your own strength. If you are trapped shallowly, you can still save yourself. If you are trapped deeply, you can only wait for death.
The way to save yourself is to paralyze as much of your body as possible on the quicksand, slow down the speed of descent, and then slowly climb out, or use external force to pull you out. But Yu Sheng is
currently trapped to such an extent that he estimated that he could not get out by himself, and he could only rely on them to pull him out.
Before Lin Baoer could say anything, Lin Zhishen took off his coat on his own initiative, "Master Si, take off your clothes."
They didn't bring any ropes with them when they came out, so if they wanted to pull Yu Sheng out of the quicksand, they could only use their clothes to make a rope and try.
Si Xu also saw the trick and quickly took off his coat.
But two coats were not enough, so Lin Zhishen and Si Xu also took off the inner lining, tied them together, and barely threw them in front of Yu Sheng.
Lin Baoer wanted to exchange for a rope, but she couldn't explain to them how the rope came from, after all, she came out with nothing.
"Brother Yu, hold on tight, we'll pull you out!" Si Xu shouted, and then threw the rope made of clothes in his hand over.
Although Yu Sheng looked calm on the surface, he was also very panicked in his heart. Hearing this, he tightly grabbed the rope they threw to him and tried to relax himself.
Si Xu cooperated with Lin Zhishen to pull the rope back, and gradually, Yu Sheng was slowly dragged out.
But the quicksand sucked too tightly, and the rope broke in the middle after only half of the person was dragged out, and Si Xu and Lin Zhishen fell out at the same time.
"Master Yu, can you try to get out by yourself?" Lin Baoer frowned and urged.
Yu Sheng tried to move, but as soon as he moved, his whole body slid down. It was useless for him to use leverage, as he would only sink deeper and deeper.
A look of despair flashed across his face.
Seeing this, Si Xu turned around and left, "I'll go back and get the rope!"
They did bring ropes, but they were all in the luggage and not brought with them.
Lin Zhishen was tying the ropes of clothes again, and his face was not very good.
For some reason, the clothes, which were originally of good quality, fell apart when they were pulled, so they suddenly broke in the middle, otherwise Yu Sheng would have been pulled out long ago.
Lin Baoer stopped Si Xu and sighed softly, "No need, I have one here."
Then she took out the rope in her hand.
Si Xu was shocked for a moment.
He saw that Lin Baoer took out the rope suddenly, catching him off guard.
Not only him, but also Lin Zhishen and Yu Sheng saw it, and their eyes flashed with shock and other emotions.
"Saving people is important." Lin Baoer urged, not letting them think any more.
Si Xu also knew that now was not the time to ask this, so he took the rope and threw it to Yu Sheng, and then worked with Lin Zhishen to pull Yu Sheng out.
Yu Sheng, who survived the disaster, lay on the ground, his face flushed, breathing heavily, and half of his body was covered with sand.
The feeling of saving his life made his eyes wet, and he suddenly thought of Yu Huai who was far away in Huangsha City, and his heart was filled with grief.
If he died like this, what would happen to his sister?
He didn't stay depressed for too long. After calming down, he came to Lin Baoer and knelt down in front of her, "Yusheng thanks the princess for saving my life."
Lin Baoer nodded, said nothing, and pursed her lips nervously.
She was thinking about how she should explain if they asked her
about it. But to her surprise, none of the three asked about the rope.
"Be careful, don't get close to the quicksand again." Si Xu warned Yusheng, and he also took a few steps back, being very afraid of the quicksand.
Yusheng also smiled bitterly with lingering fear, "Someone has died in this kind of sand before, and I thought I..."
