Amandine's Invisibility Cloak

Chapter 26 Time Drift Bottle

After the six people finished eating, the captain asked everyone to take turns on duty. He was the first one, and the others went to rest first. Uwa also lay down behind the original pillar, which became her temporary base camp. In the second half of the night, she was called up when she was half asleep. Although she didn't get enough sleep, she stood up and walked to the window. A gust of cool wind blew, and her body trembled.

At the same time, in Arusha, more than 500 kilometers away from here, Amandine walked with difficulty. He hadn't eaten for two days. Seven years ago, he wanted to borrow the invisibility cloak to rescue Uwa, but Laurent seemed to have disappeared from this world. He searched for many years and found no clues. In the past few years, he has lived a tramp-like life. His leg was injured, he walked with a limp, and he looked much older. He began to blame his father, always feeling that his father had abandoned him in this era. But what he didn't expect was that his father Ronnie had died long ago and could never come here to take him back. Now his situation is even more miserable than Uwa, let alone saving her. He was desperate and felt that he would fall at any time. Maybe God took pity on him and let him pick up something, a drifting bottle that could change his fate. He opened the bottle cap and found two electronic products the size of buttons and an instruction manual. The manual introduced that the two electronic products were a time phone and a micro projector, and the instructions for using the two products were also introduced. He played the content in the projector and immediately shouted in surprise, "It's Dad's! It's Dad's! He is finally coming to save me."

Amandine picked up the time drifting bottle, which was launched by his father Ronnie in 2639. There are 21,450 of them, distributed in various timelines from 1900 to 2900 AD for a total of one thousand years. He hurriedly picked up the time phone to contact the future, but only heard a "beep" sound from the other side, but no one answered. "Maybe Dad went to the bathroom," he comforted himself.

After a while, he called again, and it was still the same sound. "Maybe he has a stomachache!" he further comforted himself. This was his last hope. If he couldn't go back even after this, he was ready to die. After calling more than ten times, he still got the same "beep" sound. He said angrily, "Did Dad fall into the toilet? Why didn't he answer the phone?" After sulking, he decided to call one more time. If no one answered, he would throw the phone away and jump into the river. After more than twenty "beep beep" sounds, Amandine still didn't give up because he really didn't want to die. When he was about to despair, a woman's voice came from the other side, "Hello! Who are you?"

"Who are you?" Amandine was very surprised when he heard it was a woman's voice. "I'm Catherine, who are you?" the woman asked.

"Catherine! Are you really Catherine? I'm Amandine, your dear brother," Amandine shouted ecstatically. After a long time, the other side trembled and said, "Amandine! Are you really Amandine? I finally waited for your call. Where are you now?"

"I am trapped here in 2391. Why doesn't our father come to pick me up? I have been waiting for more than 20 years."

"Dad died three years ago. There is no time machine in this world anymore." Catherine said with tears. The two siblings talked for a long time. When he knew that in the future, Catherine was the only one left among his relatives, his mood was like a rolling wave, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. Catherine's life was not good either. She was not married and had no relatives. She was just drifting alone in this world. After hanging up the phone, he was completely desperate. It seemed that he could not go back to the original era. The only comfort was that he could keep in touch with Catherine with the time phone, which was also the courage for him to live. He was thinking about whether he could use the time phone to make money. When he thought of making money, one word came to his mind-"stock". If Catherine told him all the stock trends in this era, wouldn't he make a fortune? Thinking of this, he was ecstatic. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He felt that there was a real possibility of success. Although he had never played stocks, he knew that he could make money by rising and falling prices. But the first thing stumped him. Now he had no money in his pocket, not a single shilling. After thinking it over and over again, he could only try his best once. If he failed, he would die. He was going to participate in an adventure program called "Death is Very Close to You". Last time, he was injured because of participating in this program, which caused him to walk with a limp. This time, he must be fully prepared. After three days of research, he came to the program team. Today, he was going to play the most dangerous "Water Escape". The rules were: he had to jump from a four-meter-high diving platform into a 500-meter-long pool. After fifteen seconds, two sharks would be released. He had to swim to the other side alive to be considered successful. This program has already buried many "warriors" in the belly of fish. Of course, no one cares about the life and death of these "warriors". What the audience needs more is sensory stimulation. When Amandine stood on the four-meter-high diving platform, his legs were shaking. He made the worst plan and said goodbye to Catherine. If she didn't receive his call in three days, it meant that he was dead. He took a deep breath and jumped down. As soon as he entered the water, he sank straight down. When he surfaced, fifteen seconds had passed. "Pop", which reminded him that the shark had been released. He immediately swam forward, kicking his legs straight, wishing he could grow a third leg to help. The shark behind him was approaching him and getting closer and closer. However, this one was smaller. When it saw Amandine's two legs moving, it thought they were two fish and instinctively opened its mouth to bite them. The legs were not bitten off, but the shark's mouth was bleeding. It turned out that Amandine tied two steel plates on his legs just to save him. The blood attracted another bigger shark. The big shark did not chase Amandine, but became interested in the small shark with blood on the corner of its mouth. After a while, the two sharks began to bite each other. Amandine took the opportunity to swim forward desperately. He felt hope and had already swum halfway. Just when he was happy, the small shark was finally subdued. The big shark swam towards him angrily. Now he only had the last resort left. He hurriedly took out a large bottle from his arms. It was filled with liquid that smelled like rotten dead fish. This was carefully prepared by him. Sharks were most afraid of this smell. He opened the bottle cap and poured it out slowly. After the rotten liquid and seawater were mixed, a protective wall was formed behind him. After the big shark smelled this smell, it really retreated more than ten meters. He didn't dare to pour it all out, thinking that he would use it when there was danger. In this way, he swam more than two hundred meters away. The distance to five hundred meters was getting closer and closer. He could see Shilling waving at him. Amid boos, he went ashore. "Why didn't this man get eaten? Today's show is so boring." An audience in front of the TV said dissatisfiedly.
