The Lost Tomb : Sea Of Sands

Chapter 73: Fast Forward to Gutong Jing

The train wasn't going very fast, but even so, Li Cu flew sideways into the river. He became disoriented when his face smacked the water's surface, but he managed to right himself rather quickly.

He saw Yang Hao fly out a few minutes later. He was probably more prepared than they were and put up a struggle, but Xie Yuchen must be skilled in martial arts, because he dealt with them as if he were pinching chickens. Even if Yang Hao was a thorn in one's side, he wasn't good enough when faced with a professional.

A few seconds after Yang Hao fell into the river, Liang Wan wasn't spared. The river was quite wide, so Yang Hao and Liang Wan were some distance from him. It was at this time that he heard Yang Hao shouting, "I can't swim. Who's going to save me?"

Li Cu swam over, but Yang Hao was already panicking. He knew that he would probably get hurt if he rushed in to rescue him, so he swam behind Yang Hao's back and pulled his head out of the water. Yang Hao spit and coughed for a long time before he regained his breath and said, "I'll get my revenge! How dare that guy treat me so roughly!"

Li Cu was secretly crying as he looked back at the shore in the distance, and suddenly found that he had ended up on the other side of the bridge.

Shit, this current was too fast!

He let his body float as he stared at the water. He looked for Su Wan and found him spinning in the river far behind them.

What kind of river was this? It wasn't like they had been on the train for hours, so why was there such a fast-flowing river here? Was there some kind of geological disaster along the outer edges of Beijing?

"What's going on?" Yang Hao had also noticed that something was wrong. "Pear, are you a professional swimmer? Why are you swimming so fast? Can you swim to the shore, then?"

Li Cu had an ominous feeling about this current. He had no problem swimming to the shore, but Xie Yuchen chose to throw them into this particular river for a reason. He didn't choose it simply because there was a river here, but because it had a swift current, right?

After turning his head, he found that he had guessed right. Numerous rows of concrete boats appeared to be anchored in the water up ahead, almost blocking the river. The anchor ropes were stretched very taut because of the swift current, and several nets were placed in the water between the boats. There was a lot of garbage piled up in front of them.

This river must have flowed through downtown Beijing, and intercepted all of the floating garbage.

In an instant, all of them crashed into the group of boats. Su Wan was the first to crash into the garbage heap, and a man came out of the boat and lifted him out of the water with an iron hook. Su Wan's luggage soon followed, and Yang Hao and Li Cu weren't far behind.

The garbage heap was very smelly, and Li Cu's mouth was full of the strange smell. The person who lifted him from the water was very strong, and did it so quickly that Li Cu was thrown into the cabin before he could react.

The last sound he heard was Liang Wan shouting, "Don't hook me! My Burberry!" [1]

Then, the curtain that was acting as the cabin door was instantly lowered. The cabin was large and originally open, but now a large canvas shed had been placed there. Part of the shed was filled with reeking garbage, and a young girl was standing in front of it. She looked at her watch and said, "Let them sleep for a while."

The hands that had grabbed them came up from behind, and covered their mouths, and a strange smell came pouring into their nasal cavities. Li Cu felt like he had inhaled wasabi right up his nose, and couldn't even think as darkness enveloped him.
