Chapter 16 Deterrence and Crossing the Lake

Chapter 16 Deterrence and Crossing the Lake

The newlyweds were all envious of the good luck of the blond mother, daughter and Nicole. Compared with the raft, the rubber boat was naturally much safer and faster, especially after seeing the little Lolita take out an outboard motor.

This kind of envy, jealousy and hatred reached its peak.

Miranda also clenched her fists, feeling that she had been fooled.

"With this thing, they can reach the other side in a few dozen seconds." Brandt wailed. If he didn't have some self-awareness, he would have rushed to grab it.

Leonard's eyes wandered, scanning for a week, hesitating whether to negotiate. He wanted a motor. After all, the shorter the time spent on the lake, the safer it would be.

"Hey, there seems to be something missing." Lu Fan pouted, patted his head, took out a few grenades, placed them next to the motor, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Little slippery boy." Leonard gave up. He knew it was a warning.

Tang Zheng's rifle was placed next to him, ready to shoot at any time. Then he safely took out five pieces of aluminum floor and seat plates, U-shaped tube slots, and four oars. Since Lu Fan took out the outboard

machine, then his can be left.

"What are you doing standing still? Help me, unfold the hull first." Tang Zheng completely unfolded the rolled-up hull, picked up the first floorboard and inserted it into the bow.

"How do you do this?" Nicole obviously didn't understand and asked, "Wouldn't it expand automatically if you pull on a certain place?"

"That's a life raft, uncle, that's great!" Lu Fan couldn't help but cheered as he watched Tang Zheng skillfully arrange the floors and connect them with U-shaped tube slots in just two minutes. Demi

He was also watching from the side, clapping his little hands excitedly.

"Insert the air nozzle, Nicole, and you step on the air pump." Tang Zheng didn't do this kind of physical work, so he took advantage of this time to unfold the telescopic paddle.

The newlyweds watched the rubber boat gradually expand under the filling of gas. They all felt the scarcity of time and quickly tied up their own rafts.

"Okay, don't fill it up with air. Now we need to install the outboard motor." This large piece was quite laborious, so Tang Zheng had to do it himself, but it only took four minutes, and then asked Nicole to continue inflating it.

"Why is the lower part still flat?" Nicole wiped her forehead, but the lower part of the hull could not expand at all.

"That's the keel, you need to inflate it at this opening." If Tang Zheng hadn't practiced before, he would never be so familiar with it. After the hull was completely formed, he placed the oar on the screw of the oar lock, and then screwed on the nut to secure it.

"It took eleven minutes to assemble." Tang Zheng snapped his fingers and was very satisfied with the result. Lu Fan was so excited that he jumped into the rubber boat and pretended to play with the paddle.

Tang Zheng turned back and continued to help build the raft for the Weijiao high school students. He actually didn't want to assemble the rubber boat here. If the first raft was attacked on the lake, the blood flowing out would definitely attract many Cretaceous creatures. Then he would change the raft.

The place will be safer.

"If we go together, we don't know who will be attacked first. It all depends on luck. I hate this probability problem the most." Tang Zheng muttered and discussed with the little Loli.

"It doesn't matter, we can injure a few newcomers, or get them into the water to attract creatures." Lu Fan lowered his voice and suggested in Tang Zheng's ear.

"My original intention was to kill a few dinosaurs upstream and throw them into the lake to lure away the danger in advance." Tang Zheng then shook his head again and said with a wry smile, "Forget it, we can reach the other side in fifty seconds at most. I'm worried about this.

What to do, the more you live, the more timid you become."

"This is called prudence, which is my uncle's advantage." Lu Fan touched Tang Zheng's head, kissed him on the face, and said, "Kiss, your annoyance will go away."

"This guy is definitely a lolicon." A group of busy newcomers felt unbalanced as they looked at Tang Zheng and Lu Fan's relaxed appearance.

"Tang, why do you need a raft when you already have a boat?" Brandt came over with a smile on his face. He was interested in the raft made by Tang Zheng. Even David's raft was not as good as his.

The method, Tang Zheng's tools are the most complete, is so different from their purely handmade work.

Miranda also stared at Tang Zheng. She actually wanted to change it. David was helpless. If the raft wasn't too small, he would also want to change it.

"Made for her." How could Tang Zheng not guess what these people were thinking, but he was too lazy to care. The less united these people are, the more beneficial it is to him.

"What about us?" Before Brandt could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Tang Zheng.

"Go and discuss with Jack. This raft belongs to him." Tang Zheng waved his hand, drove away Brandt, and shouted to David, "When are you going to set off? Together or separately?"

"Let Brandt and the others go first, what do you think?" Not only is there a danger in the lake, but there is also a need for cannon fodder on the other side to check. Leonard said this, which can be regarded as asking for Tang Zheng's opinion, dragging him into the water and letting the newcomers

They could see his face clearly.

"I don't care what you do, but I must cross the river before evening." Tang Zheng didn't want to get involved in such nonsense.

These words made Leonard's face turn pale, but he endured it, and Danny couldn't be more angry.

"What if the sound of your motor attracts Deinosuchus? There must be more than one in this lake. Once you reach the shore, are we waiting to be attacked?"

What Danny said was very likely to happen, so the newcomers turned their attention to Tang Zheng and needed an explanation.

"If you are not convinced, you can either leave first, or you can change your position across the lake." Tang Zheng looked over the others with cold eyes. No one dared to look at him.

"You..." David grabbed Danny's arm to prevent him from provoking Tang Zheng and making enemies.

Ten minutes later, everyone's rafts were ready, but no one went into the water. They all glanced at Brandt who stayed behind from time to time. The meaning was self-evident, the cannon fodder must always go first.

Brandt and Defoe buried their heads between their knees, as if they didn't notice, and they didn't talk and acted innocent.

"Brent, let's go." After looking at the sky, it was getting a little dark, and Leonard decided not to wait.

Brent buried his head lower, pretending not to hear.

Carla and Leonard with a gloomy face pulled the bolt of the gun and aimed at him. Brandt and Defoe, who peeked at him, were stunned and immediately rolled out in embarrassment like monkeys with their butts burned.

Suddenly, a volley of bullets hit them, causing a mud puddle.

"Do you want to kill us?" The frightened Brandt roared loudly, but Leonard choked him back.

"If you don't cross the lake, you will really be killed." Leonard stood up, and the other conquerors also stood up, pointing their guns at him and Defoe, "Cross the river."

"Uncle, if we didn't have the strength, we would be the unlucky guy who was forced to cross the river now." Lu Fan held a lollipop in his mouth and watched the cruel scene in front of him with great enjoyment. Who asked Brandt to target Tang Zheng?

, deserve it.

"You shouldn't do this!" Jack couldn't stand it anymore.

"You want to help this coward? How about you cross the lake for him." Leonard made a circle with his finger, "I saw that everyone was silent. I have been a bad person for you, do I still need to be blamed? So?

You should persuade Brandt to take responsibility."

Jack couldn't accept this kind of thing, but Nicole stopped him and stopped him from talking any more.

"I can leave first, but you have to give me the rubber boat." Brent pushed further and wanted to seize the good boat, and even if he didn't survive, he had to drive a wedge between them.

"Are you an idiot?" Lu Fan laughed, then suddenly his expression calmed down and he became vicious. He took out a silver revolver from his waist, fired a shot, and said, "Believe it or not, I will let you die immediately.

?”

The ferocity shown by the little Loli in an instant shocked everyone, and this alerted everyone that she was not a little sheep to be slaughtered, but a young wolf.

Tang Zheng naturally wanted to support Lu Fan. He also pulled the charging handle of the M4A1, loaded the bullet, and then placed three grenades and three magazines in the kayak. When he did all this slowly, the newcomers felt

Panicked, he averted his eyes.

"Defoe, let's go." Brandt had no choice but to bite the bullet, but after taking a few steps, he found that Defoe, who was in the same group, had not followed, "What's wrong with you?"

"I will work with her to protect her." Defoe wanted to be a good raft for the high school students in Weijiao, but he actually said it in a high-sounding way.

"You..." Brandt wanted to rush up and smash Defoe's hypocritical face, but looking at the gun pointed at him, he could only give up and walk to the lake obediently.

The sky is getting a little darker, there is less light, and the tall trees are covering it. The entire lake looks dull. The light can only penetrate one meter of the lake, making it look dim, like a pool of stagnant water, which makes people feel even more...

Panic, it seems that there is a huge danger lurking below.

Brandt pushed the raft and walked into the water. The chill instantly climbed from his legs to his back, making him shiver.

"Idiot, why don't you take the oar?" Leonard cursed and smashed the wooden oar on his head. "If it falls off, I'll blow your head off."

Brandt ignored the big bag on his head and quickly grabbed the oar that was sinking to the bottom of the lake. This move was so violent that he almost fell, and it took a lot of effort to stabilize his body.

"Let's paddle." Leonard and others gathered at the lakeside, watching Brandt gradually move away.

"This guy can actually row a boat, isn't he awesome!" Danny was waiting to see Brandt make a fool of himself, but in the end the raft didn't circle on the lake. He was maneuvering it very well.

"Quiet, from now on, everyone speaks in a low voice and shuts up any unnecessary nonsense." Tang Zheng glared at them and focused on staring at the lake, listening to the noise.

Crash, clatter, the sound of the oar hitting the water was dull and rapid. Brandt looked left and right in fear, and tried hard with his arms to paddle across as quickly as possible, but halfway through, he slowed down.

"What's wrong? Is there danger?" David looked at Tang Zheng, waiting for him to explain.

"No, he's tired." Tang Zheng shook his head. It looked safe. He actually wanted to shoot him and see the effect after he was wounded and bleeding.

Brandt felt that his arms were terribly sore, but he didn't dare to stop. The large green algae floating on the lake made him feel scared. His whole back was soaked with sweat. He knew that if he hadn't put on the protective clothing, he would definitely be dead.

Can't survive now.

"It actually took nine minutes. It's too long." Tang Zheng looked at the time and was very dissatisfied.

In the last few meters of the journey, Brandt was so impatient that he fell into the lake. As a result, everyone thought he had been attacked and were startled. It was not until he swam out of the lake and climbed to the shore that everyone gave up.

Heart.

"Let's go." Player Derek suggested to Miranda while pushing the raft into the lake.

"Let's go too." Mars also called the team members and started to take action.

"Get on the boat." Danny couldn't sit still anymore and tried to grab Knightley's hand, but the other party cleverly dodged it.

"These idiots should wait. Who knows if there are carnivorous dinosaurs on the other side?" Tang Zheng didn't want to leave, but only by rowing together would these cannon fodder be used.

Tang Zheng took out two life jackets, threw one to Julia and motioned for her to put it on Demi, and put one on Lu Fan.

Nicole was very impressed with Tang Zheng because of his actions.

"Wait a minute." Jack was about to push the rubber boat into the lake, but Tang Zheng stopped him.

"What are you waiting for? Defoe's raft has been rowed away." Jack didn't understand what Tang Zheng meant.

"The rafts may be fast or slow. After a while, they will spread apart and scatter on the lake. When we set off again and gradually surpass them, there will be cannon fodder and bait used every other period." Of course Lu Fan knew Tang Zheng's story.

I meant, but I couldn’t say this, and said, “We have motors and noise, so let them walk for a while first.”

"What a kind little girl." Jack praised. If he knew Lu Fan's little thoughts, he would definitely go crazy.

The fastest group was indeed David. It only took less than two minutes to row to the middle, followed by Mars' group, Arthur and Miranda in the middle, and Defoe at the end. He and the Weijiao high school student obviously

I'm not very good at rowing, so I only rowed a little over ten meters in the past half day.

"Let's go." Tang Zheng pushed the rubber boat onto the lake shore. Nicole carried Lu Fan up, while Julia took care of Demi. "Lean forward, pay attention to your center of gravity and balance, and don't move around."

Little Demi writhed excitedly, but Tang Zheng yelled at her, and Julia quickly comforted her daughter.

Tang Zheng was naturally in charge of the outboard motor at the stern of the boat. He waited for Jack to come up, grabbed the starting rope, and pulled hard.

Tu, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, three times, the roar of the motor resounded on the calm lake. Almost instantly, the crew members in charge of rowing on the four rafts worked harder, and the team members in charge of security also held firearms and stared closely.

On the lake.

Whoosh, the propeller made a large splash of water, and the rubber boat immediately jumped five or six meters diagonally, frightening everyone on the boat. Tang Zheng quickly slowed down and adjusted the direction. He had only read the manual, so the kayak did not move in a straight line.

, rowing in an S-shape on the lake, but still moving forward, at least it is much faster than paddling.

"Will making such a big noise bring out the monsters?" Jack was worried as he watched Defoe and Miranda lagging behind. "Why don't we use the oars?"

Tang Zheng ignored him and concentrated on operating the outboard motor, becoming more and more like a master.

Watching the kayak speeding on the lake, some narrow-minded newcomers wished they could capsize immediately, but the curse fell on another raft.

There were not many people on Arthur's raft, but he was paddling too hastily and failed to control his balance. A gangster and Anthony fell into the raft.
