Chapter 294: Survived
Some people might quarrel, but their feelings remain deep in their hearts.
Xiao Hua's boyfriend said: "So, I deliberately loosened my leg, wanting you and your ex-boyfriend to become a pair of doomed lovebirds. Too bad it didn't work."
"However, even though it didn't succeed, it's close. After all, how long can your ex-boyfriend Xiao Peng support the weight of two people with just one hand?"
Saying this, Xiao Hua's boyfriend turned his verbal attack toward Xiao Peng:
"Hey, Xiao Peng, I advise you to quickly shake Xiao Hua off! Otherwise, you'll really die together with her!"
Xiao Hua's boyfriend laughed mockingly.
But Xiao Peng remained unmoved, instead holding Xiao Hua who was tightly clinging to him even closer. Looking at the twisted, exposed veins on Xiao Peng's right arm, she knew Xiao Peng was also reaching his limit.
Xiao Hua was nearly crying.
She didn't want to die, especially not like this. But if she continued holding onto Xiao Peng, both of them would die here!
"Maybe... I should let go..." Xiao Hua hesitated internally.
Just at that moment, all three people inside the slide noticed that the water continuously flowing down from above in the slide was gradually decreasing, until eventually it completely stopped.
This phenomenon left all three confused—what had happened?
Immediately after, a slight vibration came.
They seemed to hear some buzzing sound.
Soon, there was a knocking sound on the slide coming from behind Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng knew someone had come to rescue them!
So he told Xiao Hua on him to quickly knock at this position.
Sure enough, her knocking served as a response.
Quickly.
The three trapped people discovered that above them, not far from Xiao Hua's boyfriend's head, two chainsaw blades pierced through the slide.
Immediately after, the slide was cut open.
Intense sunlight scattered down from above.
Making all three close their eyes—it was painfully bright.
Soon, from that cut-open passage, they heard a bunch of chattering voices.
...
By the time all three were rescued, ten minutes had already passed.
The rescued Xiao Peng lay on the ground gasping heavily continuously.
With tears in his eyes.
Xiao Hua and her boyfriend were similar.
Both lay on the ground, breathing heavily.
After all, inside the slide, what tested them wasn't just physical strength, but even more so psychology.
If they hadn't held on firmly, if their physical strength had been exhausted.
They would have fallen down and died.
Xiao Q and Ke Bei stood beside Xiao Peng.
They had already seen what the inside of several slides looked like.
Just like the movie they had watched.
No, even more perverted than that movie.
Of course, besides them, there were also a bunch of staff members with golden peonies on their clothes.
As soon as these people arrived, they used plastic barriers to surround the entire water slide area.
Then began rescuing people inside the slides.
Unfortunately, across the entire water slide's five slides.
Only three people ultimately survived.
As for the others who entered the slide interiors—all died.
To be honest, when Xiao Q and Ke Bei initially followed the staff to cut open the slides but didn't see Xiao Peng's figure for a long time, only seeing some corpse fragments.
Their hearts were gripped with fear, until following the staff to the fourth slide.
They found Xiao Peng, and Xiao Q directly secretly wiped away tears.
As for Ke Bei, he also heaved a huge sigh of relief.
Of course, what both of them never expected was.
Inside the slide, Xiao Hua and her boyfriend were actually there too.
And when rescuing them, Xiao Peng and Xiao Hua were actually embracing each other?
Xiao Hua had rested enough by now, she pushed herself up with both hands and stood.
Looking around confused and helpless, wanting to see that familiar figure.
But, nothing!
"Xiao Q! Have you seen Wang Ju?!"
Xiao Hua anxiously inquired.
Xiao Q shook his head, sighing helplessly: "Only you three who played on the slides survived, all the others died."
Xiao Hua: "This... how is this possible?!"
Xiao Q: "Look for yourself, the entire slide has been cut into sections. If Wang Ju were still alive, she would have appeared here already."
Xiao Hua plopped down sitting on the ground.
Xiao Q told her: "Right now the staff are cutting open that sealed house at the end point. If nothing unexpected happens, the bodies of those who died inside the slides are all there."
"If you're not afraid, you can go look."
Xiao Hua stared blankly for quite a while, then, as if sleepwalking, stood up and walked in that direction.
Xiao Q, Ke Bei, and the rested Xiao Peng also stood up and walked that way.
And Xiao Hua's rescued boyfriend did the same.
He wanted to see if Wang Ju's boyfriend was really dead.
Wang Ju's boyfriend was his friend.
Originally, it was Wang Ju's boyfriend who first met Wang Ju, then introduced her to him, and Wang Ju introduced him to Xiao Hua.
That's how he started dating Xiao Hua.
However, after what happened today, he and Xiao Hua were definitely over.
These people arrived at the sealed large pool area, where staff were using hammers and other tools to break the walls.
Soon, with hammer blow after hammer blow, the bricks began to lose their structure.
As the structure was disrupted, allowing inside air to circulate with outside air.
Just the slight scent leaking out made people surrounding the area cover their noses.
When a door large enough for two or three people to pass through was forcibly smashed open.
The bloody smell emerging from inside directly made Xiao Hua and others outside squat on the ground, some dry heaving, some vomiting.
Including many staff members.
Although Xiao Q and Ke Bei also felt somewhat nauseous, they restrained themselves, covering their noses with one hand.
They entered this sealed place with the staff.
Of course, it was very dark inside, with no possibility of electric lights.
So the staff used brought mobile phone flashlights and various palm-sized flashlights to illuminate the interior.
Similar to what Xiao Q initially imagined.
The slide's endpoint was a large pool.
As for the pool's four sides, they were tightly sealed with brick walls without any gaps.
Now, flashlight beams randomly swept across the large pool.
What should have been azure blue seawater.
Now resembled the blood pools described in some fantasy and immortal novels.
Looking around, everything was deep red.
Moreover, on the deep red water surface floated many pale, fragmented limbs and torsos.
White bones, light pink cross-sections, and many unknown yellow and other colored body parts.
Like small boats floating on a sea of blood.
Making people's scalps tingle and bodies shiver with chills.
Just how many people had died here?
The total number of deaths wasn't clear.
Because that James seemed to clean the endpoint blood pool daily.
Therefore, when the staff fished out all the corpses and fragments from the blood pool.
They roughly pieced together 39 bodies.
Meaning in less than a single morning, this water slide had killed a bunch of people who had lived at least twenty years, people who took twenty years to grow.
Xiao Hua searched among them, finding a corpse missing one lower leg, missing one arm, the head still intact but with several large knife wounds on the body, internal organs clearly visible.
Regardless of how terrifying this corpse looked.
She lay over it, wailing loudly.
Yes, this was Wang Ju's body.
