The Strange River
Kellen quickly passed through the crowd and saw a human head floating on the river from a distance.
Strangely, there were two wet girls sitting by the river, crying all the time.
Just now he heard that there were only two girls who fell into the water, so they had been rescued?
A middle-aged woman cried, "My daughter!"
As she spoke, she hurried down to the river.
Kellen grabbed her and said, "Don't go down!"
The middle-aged woman refused to listen, and kept going down, "My daughter, save my daughter!"
However, there were still a few people on the shore who hurriedly shouted, "No, it's a man. There's another man!"
Was it a woman or a man?
The middle-aged woman desperately pushed Kellen away, but was pulled back by Kellen.
He snapped, "Can you swim?"
The middle-aged woman shook her head anxiously.
Kellen said, "Then don't go down, wait here, do you hear me?"
He jumped down immediately after speaking, life was at stake, and time waits for no one.
Kellen swam at the emerging head.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman on the bank jumped down at this time. The river was shallow at the beginning, and it got deeper and deeper. As she walked toward the center of the river, she shouted anxiously, "Save my daughter first!"
As soon as this sentence was finished, she stepped no ground and fell into the river immediately!
The middle-aged woman subconsciously yelled and instinctively struggled.
"Help!"
Kellen was very annoyed, he told her not to come down!
He looked at the head protruding from the center of the river, and it was already motionless.
The middle-aged woman was closer to him, only two meters away.
If he had saved the person in the center first, and then turned back, the middle-aged woman might have died, and the person in the center hadn't moved, so she was probably dead.
Kellen naturally selected the one with a high probability of survival. When facing the critical moment of rescue, people didn't even consider whether a certain person should be rescued, but only whether he was still alive.
Kellen walked back quickly, lifted the older woman, threw her onto the bank with one force, and then turned around and swam toward the middle of the river.
The older woman literally fell on the muddy ground by the river and was quickly pulled up by the people on the bank, and her cries could be heard from a distance.
Alana and Susie couldn't keep up with Kellen's fast pace, so they barely came here at this time.
Susie looked at the river and became anxious.
"Dad, Dad!" She hurried down.
Alana was anxious, "Susie, don't go!"
Susie turned her head, "Don't worry, grandma, I won't run around! Stay there, grandma!"
After speaking, she ran away.
Alana worried so much but she couldn't do anything, she couldn't go down either, and she couldn't do anything but make trouble.
She tightly grasped the remote control and controlled the wheelchair to back half a meter. There were too many people by the river, if she was accidentally hit by someone running, it would only add to the chaos.
Alana retreated to a safe area, quickly grabbed a passerby, and asked him to check Susie.
Susie's short legs ran quite fast, and she soon reached the river. She didn't feel impulsive, but just stood by the river and clasped her hands, and shouted, "Dad! Come back!"
A man ran over and quickly hugged her up, "Little friend, don't run around!"
The river was windy, and Kellen could only hear the sound of his own paddling. He reached the middle of the river and grabbed the person floating in the water.
The moment he grabbed his clothes, Kellen only felt something sticky, and his palms were slippery.
He was wondering how could he have the mossy touch of a man who just fell into the water, when the man floating in the river had turned over, revealing a pale face and white eyes, which was terrifying for no reason.
It was definitely a dead man.
Kellen was startled, at this moment, he felt something grabbing his ankle and pulling him toward the bottom of the river!
Kellen immediately kicked down!
Normal people would choke on water if they were startled by a dead body with rolling eyes, but Kellen didn't.
Furthermore, a normal person would be terrified half to death if something grabbed his ankle suddenly in the water, but Kellen didn't either.
Kellen was very calm. He grabbed the floating male corpse with one hand and kicked whatever the thing was fierce. He had been trained in underwater combat. Ordinary people couldn't use force underwater, but he knew the skills.
He only felt that he had kicked a round object, because he slipped after kicking that object, and the shape reckoned it should be like a human head.
Kellen didn't have time to think about what was under the water, and he grabbed the male corpse with one hand and paddled with the other, and quickly swam toward the shore.
It was just that the thing at the bottom of the water chased after him, and soon grabbed his foot again.
Kellen, who was swimming forward, was dragged back, and the things at the bottom of the water were quite strong.
Kellen frowned, and with a flick of his hand, he pushed the male corpse toward the shore, and then he didn't care whether the corpse could get ashore smoothly.
Affirming his own safety was more important.
So he paddled hard toward the shore with both hands.
But both ankles were caught by that thing. Kellen wasn't dragged backward, but he couldn't swim forward either, so he froze.
The touch of the ankle was sticky, the same as when he grabbed the male corpse just now.
Kellen thought quickly, with the strength of the thing underwater, as long as he didn't panic and die, his physical strength could last until the firefighters came.
But it was not good for him to waste time waiting like this because he didn't know what was on the bottom of the water and whether it would suddenly burst into strength.
At this moment, a green light flashed across the river, and a parrot flew to Kellen with a yellow rune in its mouth, and stepped on Kellen’s head.
Kellen, "What the hell!"
With the yellow rune in its mouth, Alex tapped on Kellen's forehead.
Kellen was too angry to talk.
He reached out and grabbed the yellow rune.
Alex flapped his wings and flew up, squawking, "Burn it! Burn it!"
It turned out that Susie was looking anxiously at him from the bank. When Kellen was struggling, she saw the black smoke surrounding Kellen.
She couldn't go there, and the firefighters hadn't arrived yet.
In a hurry, she suddenly saw Alex and immediately had an idea, so she grabbed a yellow rune from the small satchel and asked Alex to take it there.
Fortunately, Alex did not disappoint her.
Kellen held the yellow rune and slapped it on the water.
He had never used the yellow rune before, and he didn't know how to use it in this situation, but just now Alex hit him on the head with the yellow rune in his mouth, and it didn't work.
So he could only use it to slap on the water.
Sure enough, he was right, the river as black as ink in front of his eyes burst into green flames, and Kellen felt something grabbing his ankle and suddenly let go of him.
The black water receded quickly, revealing the sparkling river surface reflecting the lights on both banks.
Kellen seized the opportunity and swam back quickly. When he was about to reach the shore, he saw the male body again.
It seemed to be caught by a branch protruding from the river.
He didn't go get him and finally returned to the shore.
Susie rushed forward and hugged Kellen, tears rolling in her eyes, "Dad!"
Kellen touched her head, "I’m fine, sweetie."
What happened today was indeed weird, but he had experienced many dangerous moments, more dangerous than this.
After a while, the firefighters came and salvaged the male body first.
The male corpse's face was pale and his eyes were open as if he was dying with unwillingness, which scared the people watching by the river into a panic.
Kellen frowned, didn't this corpse with white eyes just now?
Why did he have the eyeballs back now?
