C64 (1/2)
Upon hearing these words, the noisy crowd immediately stopped and turned silent.
”What, what did you just say?” Someone asked in a daze. He even suspected that he had misheard.
”I didn't buy this island. It seems like we came to the wrong place.” The Liu family member swallowed his saliva. He felt his throat was so dry that he couldn't speak, and a cold shiver went down his spine.
”Then where are we?” A shivering voice said in a weak voice. Everyone couldn't help but feel goosebumps.
”I don't know either …” The Liu family looked around to ask the captain and crew, but they found that they were all not here.
”What did you say!?” You brought us here! ”He actually said he doesn't know where he is!” Hearing the Liu family's words, some people couldn't help but lift the Liu family's collar and ask viciously.
The Liu family hurriedly begged for mercy. After all, even he was confused. Who would have thought that a well-meaning event just for investment would turn out like this?
”That's right! ”Mobile phone, hurry and see if there's anything useful. Can you contact the outside world?” Someone asked, holding onto the last sliver of hope.
Everyone shook their heads. Basically, all the communication equipment they had in the sea had been rendered useless.
”Mine!” Mine can still be used! ” At this moment, someone excitedly said, and the surrounding people immediately surrounded him.
He tried dialing a number, but in the next second, he looked dejectedly at everyone and said, ”We're doomed. There's no signal here. We're doomed.”
”Then what should we do …” Everyone could not help but mutter to themselves, but no one knew what to do.
”It's all your fault! You must be trying to trap us! ” Under the threat of death, someone frantically tried to pinch the Liu Family members' necks.
That person was stopped by some people. ”It's useless even if you choke him to death. We won't be able to get out …”
Some people could no longer hold it in and began to cry in low voices. For a moment, the atmosphere was filled with despair and the threat of death.
Jianng Cheng hurried over: ”You finally woke up! We arrived at the island, and I had no choice but to knock you out and take you away, so don't blame me. ”
Why couldn't he care about settling the score with Jianng Cheng now? He stood up and looked around: Where's Jiajia? ”Is Jiajia up yet?”
Jianng Cheng's expression froze. He stuttered for a long time but was unable to say anything.
”Hurry up and tell me, what's wrong?” What was urging?
”Big bro, don't be anxious …” Jianng Cheng didn't know how to begin, ”Don't get agitated after you've heard it, I've already gone to see. Everyone who was rescued is here, I couldn't find my sister-in-law.”
Why is it that after hearing Jianng Cheng's words, his mind became so blank, he became dizzy and asked while holding onto the tree: ”What did you say? ”What do you mean you can't find it?”
”Before you woke up, I specially searched around. I didn't … I didn't find anyone.” Jianng Cheng said as he shrunk back. He knew how important Chen Jiajia was in his heart, and now that the person had not been found, he must be feeling terrible.
”Brother, don't be in such a hurry. Maybe I neglected this fact. Let's go look for him again.” Jianng Cheng anxiously said.
His eyes were completely red, he pushed Jianng Cheng away, gritted his teeth and said, ”See if you can contact the people outside, get people to come and find us!”
”It's no use. We went to an isolated island. We don't know where we are now, and we can't contact the outside anymore.” Jianng Cheng shook his head, his voice carried a trace of despair, and explained to his what had just happened.
He stopped in his tracks and continued to walk forward. He wanted to see for himself.
As expected, when he walked to the place where the crowd was gathered, he did not see Chen Jiajia's figure. He then took a deep breath and started to tremble. He began to ask the surrounding people if they had seen Chen Jiajia when they were retreating.
”President Hee, are you looking for Miss Chen?” At this moment, a person hesitantly came forward to talk to him.
”Yes!” Have you seen her? ”Where is she?” When he heard this person's words, a sliver of hope appeared in his heart.
”I, I vaguely saw a person fall into the ocean when I was running down there today. From the clothes she was wearing, it should be Miss Chen.” That person said with some reluctance.
It was as if she had been struck by lightning. How could she have fallen into the sea for no reason at all?
A great despair was engulfing everything, how could Jiajia be alright? He rushed into the ocean like a madman, luckily he was desperately trapped by Jianng Cheng.
”Let go of me, I'm going to look for her. I don't believe that something has happened to her!” He even sounded like he was about to cry.
”Brother, calm down!” There was no point in charging down now! The place where she fell isn't far from here, sister-in-law will be fine. ” Jianng Cheng said.
He calmed down even though he was stopped, but he was unwilling to give up. He took a deep breath and said, ”Let me go. I am only searching around in the sea. Could it be that I can only wait here for Jiajia to disappear?” Find a way to get in touch with the outside world and leave the island. ”
Jianng Cheng could not stop him, and had no choice but to agree. The best thing to do now was to split up and find a way to find someone before leaving.
Furthermore, Chen Jiajia, who was pushed into the water, was choked on a few mouthfuls of water consecutively. Luckily, she was able to react after being in the water well enough, she stuck her head out and took a deep breath, seeing that she had floated far away from the ship. There was no point in rushing back now.
She looked around and saw what appeared to be an island in the distance. It was probably the island they had planned to visit. The people on the boat would probably have to retreat to that place first, so he could find out what was going on once he swam over there.
With a direction, Chen Jiajia calmed down a little. Furthermore, the island was not too far away, and with her strength, she should be able to endure it. Thus, Chen Jiajia swam towards the direction of the island.
”Save me …” Save... ”Save me.” Just as she was walking, Chen Jiajia heard a faint cry for help, the voice even had a sense of familiarity.
She swam towards the direction of the cry for help. There was indeed a figure. That person should not be able to swim because a huge splash appeared around him.
Chen Jiajia leaned in and was shocked: ”Zeng Jie? Why is it you? ”
The only one who was pushed down the boat with Chen Jiajia was Zeng Jie. He didn't know what hurt Zeng Jie when he fell down, but the surrounding seawater had a faint smell of blood.
”Save …” Zeng Jie was no longer conscious. His struggling became smaller and smaller, and he could only rely on his instincts to scream for help. His voice had also become weaker and weaker.
Chen Jiajia didn't have time to think too much into it. She couldn't watch him die without saving him, and with Zeng Jie's current state, she wouldn't be able to hold on for too long. Chen Jiajia clenched her teeth and swam towards Zeng Jie with all her might.
