Owen fired decisively and broke the rope of the suspension bridge. The suspension bridge was overwhelmed and broke into two pieces at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The charging lion's eyes changed from fierce to panic, and before it could pounce, it fell into the river below along with Owen and Rachel.
The sound of splashing water kept coming.
Owen held Rachel tightly, and the two fell into the cold water, and then relied on buoyancy to surface.
Not far away, the lion's head also emerged from the water and was struggling. Gunshots were heard above its head.
The movement in the river attracted the crocodiles on the shore, and crocodiles that looked like dead trees kept crawling into the water. Owen ignored these and got into the water with Rachel in his arms, moving quickly along the river.
Overhead, Valentin and others watched Irving escape again and fired unwillingly, but after Irving got into the turbid river water, they completely lost track of each other.
Owen and I drifted along the river very fast. The crocodiles couldn't catch up with him, so they turned their attention to the struggling lion.
On the bridge, Valentin looked at the river below, with the struggling male lion as the center of the circle, and a large number of crocodiles converging towards it. Then the river started to churning, and he didn't know how many crocodiles bit the male lion.
This overlord on the ground instantly became a snack for those amphibious hunters.
Owen held Rachel up and down in the river, and after floating for some distance, he struggled to get closer to the shore.
In a shallow shoal, Owen struggled to drag Rachel ashore. He was very worried because Rachel remained unresponsive throughout this stage.
After spreading Rachel's body and unhooking her body armor, blood flowed out. Owen checked her breathing and felt a sudden chill in his heart. He didn't feel any breathing.
Then Owen touched the carotid artery on the side of Rachel's head. After touching it for half a minute, Owen finally collapsed like a deflated rubber ball.
Rachel died, just before they were about to escape.
The bullet penetrated the body armor and turned Rachel's chest into a ball of paste. To be precise, Rachel was dead when he ran onto the suspension bridge.
Owen felt extremely disappointed. The girl who would rather face the lion to protect him two days ago was dead. The girl who had been persuading him to give up on her was dead. Owen had promised to bring her back to her mentor, but now, he
Didn't do it.
Owen felt like his chest was about to explode, and a negative emotion called sadness was accumulating in his chest.
"Thank you for saving me..."
"Let me go, you can't run away with me..."
"When we are short of drinking water, we can try to find water sources from the dung of these elephants..."
"Come with me quickly, I'll look for the corresponding serum..."
"Asshole, if you want to eat him, you have to step over my body first..."
Owen just sat there dumbly, the scenes of him and Rachel getting along flashed before his eyes.
This girl is strong and independent, and her only shortcoming is probably that she likes to show off her rich knowledge of the wilderness. Owen himself did not realize that after a few days of escape, the relationship between the two was no longer that of a savior and a rescued, but more like
They are friends, or partners who rely on each other to survive.
Owen rescued her from the tiger's mouth, but she also used her rich knowledge of the wilderness to make their escape trip on the grassland less dangerous. She even used her body to face the beast and saved Owen's life. If it really counts,
Owen really doesn't know who owes whom more.
Rachel just lay quietly in the mud on the river beach, motionless. Owen's eyes were a little moist, which must have been stimulated by the river water just now.
After wiping a handful on his eyes, there was no more moisture in his eyes. Owen's eyes became firm again. If the members of Omega were here, they would find that such a murderous Owen has appeared before, once in Colombia, and once in Colombia.
It was Mexico, and both times, Irving crushed his enemies to pieces.
Owen took out a dagger and cut off a red strip of cloth from Rachel's clothes, and tied it solemnly on his forehead. He wanted to avenge her, and this red ribbon was Rachel. Owen wanted her to see with her own eyes the person who killed her.
Those murderers died one by one in their own hands.
Pushing Rachel's body back into the river, and watching the body float away with the river, Owen walked towards the jungle in the distance. He did not cover up the long footprints behind him. He knew that those who were chasing him would not be so easy.
If you give up, they will definitely chase you.
Twenty minutes later, Valentin and others, who were pursuing along the river bank, successfully discovered the set of footprints, and the group followed the footprints into the jungle.
The footprints disappeared after leaving the wetland by the river, and the rest needed to be determined by tracking experts. After searching for a long time on the ground with a bow and arrow on his back, the tracking expert dressed in indigenous clothing pointed in one direction and gave his judgment. Valentin
With a wave of his hand, the team continued chasing in that direction.
In the dense forest, the tracking experts walked first, followed by Valentin's men.
The tracking expert didn't walk very fast. Occasionally he would squat down to check the traces on the ground, and then get up and continue chasing.
After squatting down to check again, the tracking expert stood up again and walked in a new direction, but this time he took only a few steps. When he landed, he suddenly felt a trace of resistance.
The warning sign in his heart had just appeared when a small tree jumped up and the spikes tied to it pierced his body.
The tracking expert was stabbed to death instantly, without even having time to call for help.
Valentin and his men watched this scene in shock. The tracking expert's body was nailed to a small tree. A sharpened branch was tied to the small tree. The sharp thorns pierced the tracking expert's body, and the blood was flowing from the hole.
There was dripping water from the wound.
"ah……"
Ta da da~ da da da...
The crowd shot wildly in all directions, causing branches and leaves to fly in random directions.
Valentin was extremely angry. The slippery little mouse he had been chasing and beating now dared to fight back.
"Fake, come out, you coward..."
Valentin roared angrily and fired wildly in all directions, but before his screams could dissipate, another of his men accidentally stepped on the trap.
In the sky, a giant tree suddenly fell from the sky, sending his men flying before he could react.
The men vomited blood and died, and another person was killed by the trap in front of them. This scene calmed everyone down. No one stopped shooting randomly, but stopped spontaneously.
Everyone was paying close attention to their steps, for fear of triggering another mechanism.
"Everyone, spread out and be careful. If you see anything wrong, just shoot..."
Valentin gave an order, and the team members dispersed cautiously. A trap is a trap after all, and you can always find clues as long as you are careful.
"Head, I found him, nine o'clock direction..."
A low-pitched announcement from the team members came from the headset. Valentin looked towards the nine o'clock direction and immediately saw a corner of camouflage in the dense forest, which looked like part of a body armor.
"Surround them and kill those who are not captured alive..."
Valentin decided to resist the order. Although Big Dad ordered that the diamonds must be obtained, Valentin could not control that much now. He decided to kill the opponent first and then find the diamonds from the corpse.
Ta da~ da da da~ da da da~~
When the troops fanned out around the tree, Valentin and nine of his men opened fire simultaneously.
The place where the fire was concentrated was in a mess, and the person behind the tree was also shot.
When the gunfire stopped, everyone who had just opened fire gathered around the place where the fire was concentrated, and Valentin was no exception. But when they approached, they found that there was no one there at all, and there was only a bulletproof piece on the ground that had been riddled with holes.
Clothes.
Fooled~
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
The next second, one of his men suddenly let out a scream, and a wooden raft full of spikes that bounced up pierced his body. And just when everyone was attracted by the scream, the one who was farthest away
A man suddenly jumped out of the tree behind a soldier.
Owen covered the other person's mouth with one hand and stabbed the dagger into the other person's heart with the other hand. The guy in his arms turned into a corpse without much struggle.
The next second, Owen lowered the body to the ground and disappeared into the jungle again.
