Chapter 138: Chapter 81: Trip to Chongqing (3) Dangerous Escape_3
In that instant, she suddenly thought of the Minister Mansion, rembered Ye Qichi’s mother...
Ultimately.
Ye Qichi quickly flapped over, swimming towards Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing seed to have also seen Ye Qichi coming.
Seeing Ye Qichi clearly paused for a mont before quickly moving towards him.
For a mont, he even felt that Ye Qichi might just abandon her and leave...
In the end.
The woman still swam over.
She embraced him tightly, then cradled his body as she swam towards the surface.
Ye Qichi swam quickly.
In the apocalypse, many survival skills were essential, swimming being one of the most basic.
Dragging Xiao Jinxing at this mont wasn’t too strenuous.
This man was truly quite enduring.
Usually, people who drown and don’t know how to swim, when rescued, imdiately cling onto the one saving them, flailing about which could end up hindering the rescue effort, leading to the possibility of both drowning.
But Xiao Jinxing, he really stayed still, not grabbing her, calm as if he himself knew how to swim, and quite proficient at that.
The two of them barely made it above the water.
Finally, they caught a breath.
But even their breath was terribly faint.
The two of them carefully watched the riverbank, a group of people holding torches seeming to ascertain whether they were dead or not.
Fortunately.
Those people couldn’t swim, otherwise they would have definitely dived in to chase them imdiately.
It was indeed a stroke of luck.
Ye Qichi whispered into Xiao Jinxing’s ear, "Let’s go."
The river was dark, and the light from the torches was always limited; in this darkness, they naturally couldn’t be seen.
Just as they turned around to prepare to swim away.
Suddenly, countless arrows were shot across the river surface.
Damn!
Ye Qichi really wanted to curse.
To think they could even pull off such a stunt.
She quickly pulled Xiao Jinxing and once again subrged into the river.
Xiao Jinxing was sowhat taken by surprise.
He wasn’t prepared for it.
A mouthful of river water almost made him cough out.
That mont, he quickly covered his own lips, not letting any sound escape.
Ye Qichi naturally noticed Xiao Jinxing’s condition at the mont.
But coming out rashly now could easily lead to getting wounded by the random arrows.
But in the river water, due to the resistance of the water, the arrows wouldn’t be much powerful, and even if hit, it wouldn’t damage the organs.
She clenched her teeth.
She didn’t let Xiao Jinxing co up for air.
Xiao Jinxing didn’t struggle either, allowing Ye Qichi to pull him, swimming deeper and further.
After swimming for a distance.
Xiao Jinxing evidently reached his limit.
Ye Qichi could also feel Xiao Jinxing’s exertion.
She had undergone professional training in the apocalypse; holding her breath for 20 minutes wasn’t a problem, but for ordinary people... Xiao Jinxing was barely hanging on.
However, at this mont, they hadn’t swam too far, and arrows could still reach them. To rashly co out and get shot...
Right now, neither she nor Xiao Jinxing should risk getting wounded in the water.
Ye Qichi paused her swimming, ca close to Xiao Jinxing, and passed him a breath of air through their lips.
Xiao Jinxing was startled.
He looked at Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi gestured.
aning to tell him to hold on a little longer.
Xiao Jinxing nodded slightly.
Honestly, at this mont Ye Qichi truly felt a bit of admiration for Xiao Jinxing.
He was still able to endure at such a ti!
She quickly moved away from Xiao Jinxing’s lips, supporting his body, gritting her teeth, and swam faster.
Finally.
Ye Qichi pulled Xiao Jinxing up to the water surface.
At this mont, the riverbank was already sowhat far from them.
But the people by the riverbank still hadn’t left.
Still holding torches, continuously shooting arrows into the water.
"Breathe!" Ye Qichi reminded Xiao Jinxing.
This ti, Xiao Jinxing was clearly prepared.
As Ye Qichi pulled him back into the river, Xiao Jinxing naturally found it much more bearable than before.
This way, the two alternated between diving and surfacing, repeatedly.
Finally, they swam to a place where the arrows could no longer reach them.
Ye Qichi supporting Xiao Jinxing surfaced, began to head-up swim, and started swimming slower and slower.
"We can’t stop!" Xiao Jinxing commanded.
"I am frigging tired too!" Ye Qichi retorted irritably.
She wasn’t a machine; she needed rest too.
"The river water is too cold, even if we don’t drown, we could freeze to death," Xiao Jinxing reminded.
"You don’t need to tell
that," Ye Qichi snapped back.
Did she not know it was cold?!
"Instead of arguing with , you might as well swim forward," Xiao Jinxing said coldly.
