2992 Major Accident
His cousin… loved Xia Jinyuan dearly. She usually didn't reveal her true emotions. She would only show her heartache for Xia Jinyuan when no one was paying attention.
Xia Jinyuan was the same. When no one was paying attention, he wouldn't look anywhere else. As long as he had time, he would only look at his cousin.
Their relationship… was indeed very good. It was so good that sometimes, as Ye Jian's cousin, he felt jealous.
But on the other hand, he felt at ease.
They loved and doted on each other. Their love was so pure that only the other party's figure existed in their own worlds. There weren't any impurities. This was probably the happiness of being in love.
The preparations for entering the swamp were completed. At 8:30 am Estonia time, the participating special forces soldiers braved the drizzle and entered the desolate and dead swamp.
There were deep mud pools in the swamp. Under the withered grass that was almost half the height of a person, there might not be sturdy soil but deep quagmire. The fallen trees looked sturdy, but when they really stepped on them, the weathered trees could shatter into pieces.
They had to end the competition before six in the evening, which was right before the sky turned dark. Everyone couldn't walk very slowly. If they were too slow, they would waste time. They might not be able to reach the finish line before six.
Halfway into the swamp, Sparrowhawk used the stick in his hand to poke the withered grass in front of him. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he stepped on it with one foot. G3, who was behind him, didn't notice anything amiss. Sparrowhawk's expression changed drastically. His foot, which had stepped on the withered grass, sank into the mud.
His body was so tired that even his nerves had lost the agility they should have. His brain realized that danger was coming, but his body couldn't control itself anymore. Not only did he not pull his foot out of the mud in time, but he also fell into the mud.
G3, who was following closely behind, saw Sparrowhawk suddenly falling forward. He subconsciously grabbed the backpack on Sparrowhawk's back and pulled him back.
The sudden major accident didn't make them panic. Xia Jinyuan immediately threw the safety rope that he had been carrying on his shoulder forward. "Tie the safety rope to your shoulder! Tighten the back!"
Behind them were Ye Jian, Big Shark, T6, Big Eel, and Li Jinnian. Xia Jinyuan threw the safety rope out, and Ye Jian grabbed it quickly. Just as she pulled it tightly, a huge force pulled Ye Jian's entire body forward.
Big Shark grabbed Ye Jian's backpack tightly and roared. He pulled Ye Jian's body back.
"Pull back! Pull back!" G3, who was in front, shouted. He was so anxious that the green veins on his temples were protruding. Even though he had paint on his face, one could tell that his face was red.
He wrapped the safety rope around Sparrowhawk's shoulder and fell back. He pulled Sparrowhawk out of the mud.
The swamp seemed to be sucking in all gravity. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank. His legs seemed to never be able to land on the ground. He slowly sank until mud covered his head.
Sparrowhawk, who was in the mud, couldn't exert any strength at all. Under such circumstances, it would undoubtedly be disadvantageous if he still exerted strength.
His comrades at the back pulled the safety rope tightly. G3 seized the time to tie the safety rope around Sparrowhawk's backpack. This way, he would have double protection.
