Mo Shuwan, who had finally squeezed in, took a deep breath and peered out to see what was pulling him. She saw the water in the Milky Way clinging tightly to Cai Zhongqi's waist. As the passengers pulled, the river water seemed to be pulled up along with Cai Zhongqi, forming a sloping arc around his waist.
Mo Shuwan's heart raced even faster, and she gritted her teeth and roared, "Throw that fish back!"
Cai Zhongqi still had reluctance in his eyes, but the discomfort in his body made him choose to put the silver fish back into the water. However, the silver fish that he had picked up and that seemed to be dead suddenly swam to Cai Zhongqi's side and bit the flesh on his waist after returning to the water.
A tremendous pulling force dragged Cai Zhongqi directly into the river, and the passengers who were holding onto him almost fell into the water as well, but fortunately they let go at the last moment.
Dragged into the river, Cai Zhongqi clearly heard the sound of flowing water; he could hear silver fish swimming past his ears. In a daze, he seemed to see countless skeletons at the bottom of the river...
"Captain, what...what do we do?"
Mo Shuwan's face was grim. She braced herself on the ground with one hand and leaned slightly forward. She didn't know what was wrong with the river. It seemed to block all sights from the surface. She couldn't see Cai Zhongqi at all from above. Cai Zhongqi's experience just now also made them hesitant to rescue him rashly. After struggling for a long time, Mo Shuwan gripped the hilt of her sword and was about to strike the river.
But before she could raise her hand, Wen Zuo grabbed her wrist. Just as Wen Zuo was about to take the fire-attribute longsword, Mo Shuwan suddenly pulled her hand back and said in a tight voice, "It's okay, I'll do it."
Wen Zuo stubbornly held onto Mo Shuwan's wrist and wouldn't let go, so Mo Shuwan had no choice but to reach out and pry his fingers open. "Trust me." After a pause, she said to the passengers who were standing nervously beside her, "You all step back."
Wen Zuo didn't back down; he remained standing beside her. If anything happened to her, he could immediately reach out and grab her, even if...
Mo Shuwan took a deep breath, ignoring the gazes coming from all directions, and prepared to attack the river. However, before she could make a move, Cai Zhongqi's head popped up again, but his face was noticeably paler than before.
Cai Zhongqi, with his shoulders and above above the water, looked desperately at his companions still standing on the shore. He said, on the verge of tears, "Captain! I can't go back... Here's a silver fish for you. I hope you can take care of my wife for the sake of the silver fish. Please make sure to give those things to her."
A silver fish, looking as if it were dead, was thrown ashore. Mo Shuwan didn't dare to reach out and take it, but she noticed that the dinosaurs, who had originally just intended to watch the show, suddenly became agitated.
Suppressing her other thoughts, Mo Shuwan squatted down again, looked at Cai Zhongqi in the Milky Way, and whispered, "We haven't given up on you. I just saw it; the water was following your waist. If you want to live, I have a way."
Cai Zhongqi looked at Mo Shuwan with sorrow in his eyes, without saying a word.
Mo Shuwan was also in a state of confusion at this time and did not notice his gaze. She continued, "When they pull you up later, I... I will cut you off from the waist down. Don't worry, Wen Zuo and I have exchanged a lot of medicine packs, which should be enough to keep you going for a few days. As long as we are fast, the bus will heal you after we get back to the bus."
Cai Zhongqi didn't speak. After a long silence, he turned his head to the side with a pained expression. He seemed unable to stand any higher, and even with his head turned to the side, his shoulder was only slightly above the water.
The passenger behind him exclaimed, "Where are your hands?!"
“My last hand is gone too, and everything below my calves has disappeared… Captain, I can’t go.” Looking at Mo Shuwan’s clenched fist, Cai Zhongqi smiled bitterly, “My ending is much better than those guys before me. I don’t feel any pain, although it’s a bit strange to watch my body disappear little by little… Captain, Silver Fish…”
Mo Shuwan turned her head to look at the silver fish that Cai Zhongqi had just thrown ashore, gritted her teeth, and suddenly reached out and grabbed it.
Nothing happened.
Mo Shuwan took a few quick breaths, feeling annoyed and heartbroken at her impulsiveness, while a deep sadness spread through her heart.
Cai Zhongqi was different from the other passengers who were still somewhat unfamiliar with him.
"Captain, my wife isn't in good health. We haven't had a child all these years. She's been taking medication to have a baby. Can you tell her to find a good man who's willing to adopt a child and marry him?" He rambled on about his wife, pleading with Mo Shuwan to help him deliver those things to his wife for the sake of Yin Yu.
Gradually, less and less of him was above water. When his mouth was almost submerged, he smiled and whispered, "My thigh is disappearing too... Captain, goodbye, and goodbye to my comrades. I'm going first. I hope you can all live safely and leave the bus soon to return to normal life."
"Cai Zhongqi! Don't worry, as long as I can get back alive, I will definitely go to see your wife with the captain."
Cai Zhongqi was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into tears, "...Captain, I regret it so much, I regret not listening to you just now, I regret it so much, I regret it so much—"
The sound stopped abruptly. Yang Zhou took two steps forward, looked at Cai Zhongqi, whose eyes were now the only part of his face visible, opened his mouth, and with red eyes, dared not meet his gaze.
Cai Zhongqi quickly disappeared completely beneath the water's surface under everyone's gaze. In the final moments, Mo Shuwan noticed that part of his body had turned into river water, and the instant he disappeared, she threw the silver fish she was holding into the river.
Sure enough, the silver fish immediately regained its vitality. It swam around in the water and suddenly approached the shore. Its eyes, floating on the surface, seemed to be staring at Mo Shuwan.
"Walk!"
After Mo Shuwan threw the silver fish back, the gazes coming from all directions disappeared.
The silverfish here are not something they can obtain.
Because of Cai Zhongqi's incident, everyone was in low spirits. They walked a long distance without anyone speaking. Mo Shuwan, who had been silent all along, suddenly stopped and, in the next second, she took the gun in her hand.
boom--
With a huge explosion, countless dinosaurs and plants perished, but Mo Shuwan's expression turned even more grim, because she had just aimed at the silver rain, and clearly, these guns and cannons, which were extremely lethal to dinosaurs and plants, posed no threat to the silver rain at all.
There are still huge secrets in this world. Perhaps one day they will reach a point where they can learn these secrets, and the bus will throw them back here.
After traveling all night, there were only two days left until the mission was completed.
