Alice didn't dare to move anymore, her face was full of panic and her voice was trembling.
Really falling into the swamp, in the indescribable panic and fear, she fully understood what happened before, and why Peter ran away when he saw her?
When Peter and Thompson arrived at this oasis with great difficulty, the lovers reached their physical limits.
They may have never had water to drink, food to eat, or even a peaceful rest.
The first moment they saw the water rushing faster, the two of them ran over, wanting to bury their heads in the river and have a drink.
Then......
They were just like Alice now, stuck in the mud.
It may be that Thompson got stuck in the first step.
Peter may have thought of pulling him up.
He probably tried so hard to save his lover Thompson that his cherished Boy Scout hat fell off.
Soon, Peter discovered that he couldn't do it.
Not only did he fail to pull his lover Thompson out of the mud, but Peter, who was probably on the verge of physical collapse, was almost pulled back down.
Thompson cried and begged for help;
Peter tried his best, but he could only watch the mud covering Thompson's chest and chin.
"Let go!"
Peter was scared, but Thompson couldn't let go.
Peter may have kicked him, or he may have kicked him twice, and finally broke away from Thompson's hand, leaving his shoes covered with mud.
...what have I done?!
...Ahhhh~~
After Peter woke up, all he saw were two Boy Scout hats, floating with difficulty on the surface of the mud, like two lovers who had overcome worldly obstacles, cuddling head to head.
Peter collapsed.
He couldn't accept what he had done in fear of death?
He may have gone to drink some water, and then walked aimlessly like a zombie.
He couldn't reconcile with himself.
until......
Peter saw Alice.
His body and mind, which were already on the verge of collapse, could not bear the impact at all.
At that moment, guilt made Peter confused, as if everything he did was exposed to the sun and watched by Alice, his partner.
Peter couldn't accept all this and had to turn around and run away.
Finally, he died suddenly while escaping and collapsing.
After Alice figured this out, the mud began to stick to her butt.
"Chen Yang, save me~~"
She cried out loudly and kept calling for help. Then she saw Tang Wan, who was running towards him with a worried look on his face, but was pulled back by Chen Yang's arm.
Alice's heart suddenly sank.
She thought of Peter, of Thompson, of those two Boy Scout hats...
Just when Alice couldn't help but sink, as if there was a swamp in her chest, Chen Yang pulled Tang Wan over slowly.
Chen Yang actually still had a smile on his face!
Alice was so shocked that she almost wanted to rub her eyes if she didn't dare to move for fear of sinking faster.
The next second, Chen Yang's voice with a chuckle reached the ears of Alice and Logan:
"Honey, do you know how to save yourself if you accidentally fall into the swamp mud?"
