Chapter 65 – Crisis – Northern School Tomb Raider’s Notes

“Don’t be poor, what the hell.”

I don’t know, let’s take a walk, let’s stay away from this place first before we talk, pay attention to your feet.” Sister Hong said and walked straight ahead.

Strangely enough, there wasn’t any large amount of standing water seen on the ground, and for some reason, the road was so muddy.

“Help ….. Help me, I don’t have the strength,” said the Ann Fellow who couldn’t pull her foot out after only a few steps.

“Grab my hand.”

With a strong effort, I yanked her away from the spot.

“Just follow me, watch my footprints as I walk, and don’t step anywhere else.”

“Uh-huh.”

The road was getting harder and harder to walk on, and I realized that the mud, which just a moment ago had only sunk to my ankles, had now sunk to my calves after only a few minutes of walking.

Really afraid of what will come, just now I was worried, afraid to meet this kind of situation, and now there is no way, to stay in place if the gang will certainly still come after us, we can only hard head forward, thinking as soon as possible out of this muddy swamp area.

Suddenly! Sister Hong’s alarmed voice came from the front!

“Yun Feng!” She yelled desperately.

I saw that Sister Hong had stepped in the wrong place, and her entire body was sinking rapidly!

“Quick! Help!”

I was shocked at the situation, and I greeted the An researcher and went over to pull Sister Hong together.

It is not to say that when people are in a hurry, there is no reason, I do not come over okay, I was in a hurry to rush over two steps, not only did not save Sister Hong, on the contrary, they are also trapped in.

The three of us, holding hands, were sinking together and soon the mud was up to the base of our thighs.

Sister Hong was sweating nervously as she shouted, “Don’t move! Don’t struggle!”

However, this only slowed down the sinking rate temporarily, and as far as the naked eye could see, we were still sinking a little bit.

“Quick! Do something!” Fellow Ann cried in fear.

Can’t panic, can’t panic, as the only male among the three, I forced myself to stay calm, because I knew very well that once we messed up, the downfall was only death, I was sweating profusely, nervously looking left and right, I was thinking of countermeasures.

I try to lie back while I relax my thighs from forcing myself, and I try to adjust myself as much as I can so that my center of gravity goes from sinking downward to lying backward.

I soon realized that it was working and that my own lower body was not continuing to sink.

I yelled at her both, “Tuck your toes! Lie back!”

Sister Red and Fellow Ann immediately followed my lead and began trying to get their weight shifted.

This had the advantage of increasing the force area between our bodies and the bog, but there was no way to get out of the trap yet, we could only half-float like this. At this point it would have been nice to have a tree root driftwood or something beside us, if we had such a thing we could have grabbed onto it and gotten out.

Unfortunately there was none, and then, after nearly two hours of such a stalemate, none of us dared to move, if we dared to move we would sink, and we remained in this position keeping exhausted.

Sister Hong weakly spoke in a funereal manner, “Yun Feng, there’s no way out, it looks like we all have to die here.”

“No, no, no, there’s got to be a way, there’s got to be a way for us,” I desperately tried to persuade Sister Hong not to give up.
