Chapter 39.2 (1/2)

Duan Hongzhen and the two women were giving their all, but neither the door nor the windows would budge, as if they had entered a completely enclosed space.

The situation grew more and more urgent as the water rose at an increasingly fast rate.

Soon, the water reached their heads. They had tried their best to stay afloat in the water. However, as the distance between the water and the ceiling got closer, they realized that if they didn’t find a way to escape soon, they might drown here today.

There was less and less air and Xiao Tangqiu could feel that he was beginning to lack oxygen. His brain felt groggy as he moved slower and slower. The picture before him was beginning to be a bit blurry.

…… He was probably about to die?

It was pretty ridiculous that he would finally die because of his own stupid suggestion after braving through so many ordeals.

Xiao Tangqiu desperately held his last breath and shouted at Shen Yuan, “I’m sorry…”

Although it was a life and death situation, Shen Yuan was still calm and in control. Even if he was surrounded by fearful screams and cries, he was as steady as a mountain. He looked at Xiao Tangqiu, not saying anything. Despite that, Xiao Tangqiu seemed to understand what he was trying to say.

“Wuwuwu! I’m still very young! I don’t want to die!” Tang Mianmian cried the most, but he was also the one with the most energy. “I’m not married yet, I haven’t been in love, I haven’t even touched a girl’s hand yet!”

At last, the Loli couldn’t help rolling her eyes at Tang Mianmian. “Shut up! The more you cry, the more oxygen you consume!”

Lu Si’er and the little boy, who were originally holding each other and crying because of fear, were shocked by the words and stopped crying at once.

At this moment, the water had already submerged most of the church. The water surface was twenty to thirty centimeters away from the ceiling. They were trying to stay afloat with their heads exposed above the water surface. However, it was obvious that they would soon lose this last bit of space.

Xiao Tangqiu’s eyes began to blur as his consciousness became hazy. “…I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”

Tang Mianmian was frightened by the Loli and didn’t dare to cry anymore. He sobbed in a low voice, “Wuwuwu… What’s the point of saying this now…”

Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t hear Tang Mianmian clearly and could only repeat over and over again, “I’m sorry…”

The others also gradually showed signs of lack of oxygen. Seeing that the water was about to submerge the entire place, Duan Hongzhen sighed, “It looks like there is really no other way…”

Tang Mianmian repeatedly shook Xiao Tangqiu side to side, but the latter, who was still in a confused state, asked anxiously, “Could there be some other way?”

“There’s no other way, we can only stake it all on this…” Duan Hongzhen said.

Tang Mianmian paused, “Stake it all on what?”

Duan Hongzhen didn’t continue speaking. He turned to look at Shen Yuan, and then at the other two women. They seemed to have gotten the message because in the next moment, the four of them suddenly dived under, swimming towards the huge statue.

Tang Mianmian tried hard to grab Xiao Tangqiu to prevent him from slipping into unconsciousness. Lu Si’er and the little boy also began to feel faint. They could only subconsciously hold onto the nearest person. He ended up having to drag three people by himself.

He stared nervously at the scene underwater and saw them swim towards the huge statue and suddenly attack it.

……No, to be precise, it was the three of them besides Shen Yuan.

Under the blows from all three of them, the statue still didn’t budge.

They turned to look at the Shen Yuan helplessly, and finally, Shen Yuan looked like he was about to make a move,

Tang Mianmian didn’t see how Shen Yuan made his move because in the next second, the water completely submerged the church. The last bit of oxygen was gone and he could only scramble to hold onto Xiao Tangqiu, who was weak.

Just then, there was a loud noise coming from under the water!

Amidst the loud noise, Xiao Tangqiu opened his eyes in hazy consciousness. At this time, the church was completely flooded, and the world underwater appeared distorted. He tried to look down, but only saw a vague shadow…

All of a sudden, his sight became crystal clear, and everything became visible to him, including the pews, murals, stained glass windows and the huge statue in the church. Shen Yuan was right in front of the statue. Although Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t see his expression clearly, he appeared to be in a different state than he usually was.
