Chapter 735: Escaping the Quagmire
The most important thing she should do now is to get onto the bank quickly; only once she is up can Chen Xun and Zhang Qian climb up without distraction.
She gritted her teeth, placing her limbs on the ground to maximize her contact area.
Then, like a monkey, she climbed upward rapidly; she was only two steps away from leaving this pool...
Two steps...
For Chen Xun and Zhang Qian below, this was as far as they could send her.
The remaining two steps, no matter what, she had to walk herself!
"Ah!" An Yinan let out an angry shout. The high-pressure water gun hit her face, her back, and her limbs. She could feel the immense resistance preventing her from moving forward.
But!
She could not stop.
"Ah!!!!" One angry shout after another rang out by the side of the pool.
Under the force of three high-pressure water guns, she gritted her teeth and took half a step forward. The flesh on her face was distorted, her body tense. The icy water washed over her skin again and again, and she had slowly grown accustomed to the bone-piercing chill.
Half a step, and she seemed to have exhausted all her strength.
Her body weight was just there; the base was simply too small, and the impact of the water was too great. Strength, in this situation, did not actually have that much of an effect.
Just as she dug her hands into the mud and her feet gripped the ground tightly, allowing herself a moment to catch her breath.
Chen Xun's voice came from behind, "Wife, jump."
An Yinan obeyed instinctively. Her body, which had been pressed against the ground, suddenly pushed up on all fours. Just as she exerted force to move upward, a thrust came from her two feet.
The high-pressure water guns on her were instantly diverted to two others, and the pressure on her body decreased dramatically.
"Ah!" An Yinan let out an angry shout. This time, using all her strength, she climbed directly upward, covering the one and a half steps she had been missing.
Every time her hands and feet landed, they dug into the muddy pool to prevent herself from being washed back down.
Strength was useless, but it could anchor her body.
"Keep going." Zhang Qian's voice came from below. The two of them, each supporting one of her feet, pushed her upward.
An Yinan felt the resistance, but the force pushing from below made it impossible for the resistance to stop her progress.
With one large stride, she climbed onto the pool and sat on the edge.
And those two, with a "plop," fell back down.
The two of them had had few points of leverage halfway up, and with the interference of the high-pressure water guns, their feet slipped at the same time while they were pushing An Yinan up, and they went straight down.
An Yinan was a bit anxious; her feet, blood and mud mixed together, were dripping downward bit by bit.
On the other side, Chen Xun and Zhang Qian exchanged a look. Chen Xun wiped his face; he hadn't opened his mouth the whole time, but just now, when he reminded his wife, some sand had gotten into his mouth, and it was a bit gritty.
"Race?" Chen Xun turned his head to look at Zhang Qian.
Zhang Qian smiled and spat out the sand in his mouth, "Bring it on, who's afraid of whom?"
The two exchanged a look, then, like two cheetahs, climbed upward rapidly. When the people above the pool noticed them, they had already climbed halfway. The moment the high-pressure water guns hit them, they both slid down a little, but then, adapting to the impact, they controlled their bodies and moved forward slowly.
An Yinan sat on the edge of the pool and looked around. There were already over a dozen people who had climbed up. She had just seen Kaila from the United States climb up, and she had even looked at her provocatively.
But she had no time to pay attention to him. Compared to Kaila, a person from Eagle Country, with those gloomy eyes like a venomous snake, was actually more daunting.
After all, the dog that bites is usually the one that doesn't bark!
"Zhang Qian, reach out." At this moment, An Yinan gripped a stone on the side of the pool and extended her hand downward.
Zhang Qian raised his hand; he could reach it.
As for Chen Xun's position, she had nothing to anchor her body to, so it was difficult for her to pull him up.
Seeing that someone sitting on the edge of the pool was going to participate, the high-pressure water guns turned and hit An Yinan again. If she didn't participate, the water guns wouldn't bother those who had already climbed up, but if she wanted to pull someone else, she would have to bear the pressure of the water guns.
That group of Black-Clad Men, hands controlling the high-pressure water guns, sprayed the water jets directly at An Yinan, and those people even whistled one after another.
You have to say, for a woman, she was quite loyal!
It's just that this is the Gun King Special Training, and the people here who are "loyal" are all dead.
Zhang Qian steadied his position, reached his hand out directly, and clasped it with An Yinan's hand.
An Yinan wasn't great at positioning, but when it came to strength, she dared to say that everyone present was a little brother!
"Ah!" She let out an angry shout, then pulled Zhang Qian's hand, exerting force directly. Zhang Qian kicked off quickly, and in two or three steps, he jumped right out of the pool.
For a moment, the high-pressure water guns didn't know whether they should continue spraying.
Spray?
Both of them were out.
Don't spray?
It seemed like they would lose a lot of dignity!
Zhang Qian panted heavily; the high-pressure water guns had actually washed his face clean.
"There's nothing to pull on over at Xunge's side, I can't exert force well." An Yinan moved to a position above Chen Xun, looking left and right, but there was nothing she could use for leverage.
Zhang Qian thought for a moment, "I'll pull Shitou, and you pull me."
His position wasn't far from Chen Xun's, and Shitou was directly above his position; with his reach, it should be enough to pull Chen Xun.
Chen Xun's speed wasn't slow; in this short time, he was only three steps away.
But!
Six high-pressure water guns hit him at once, making it impossible for him to move forward.
It seemed that An Yinan and Zhang Qian's successful crossing had made the Black-Clad Men cautious, and they were paying special attention to Chen Xun.
"Come." An Yinan said.
Zhang Qian grabbed Shitou with one hand and clasped An Yinan's hand with the other. An Yinan reached her hand down, but it was still just a little bit short.
"It's no good, still a little short." An Yinan said helplessly.
The distance was still a bit too far.
Zhang Qian frowned and looked at An Yinan, "Grab my ankle? Can you even hold onto it?"
An Yinan glanced at him, "If I use too much strength, your ankle bone will be dislocated!"
"It's fine, don't I trust you?" Zhang Qian laughed carelessly; there were already seven high-pressure water cannons down below!
More and more people were coming up, and the water cannons that were previously scattered were now all aimed at the remaining people.
"There's no time, Nan Nan, grab my ankle," Zhang Qian shouted.
If this continued and the water cannons kept increasing, Chen Xun would definitely not be able to hold on.
An Yinan looked down at Chen Xun, then grabbed Zhang Qian's ankle, and subsequently reached her hand down, the position...
"Xunge, your hand," she shouted loudly.
Chen Xun was unable to lift his head now; with seven high-pressure water cannons, he could only stabilize his own body, and if he tried to climb up, he wouldn't be able to do it.
The immense impact of the water struck him incessantly.
Chen Xun dug his toes firmly into the mud and then reached his hand upward.
An Yinan grabbed his hand and then roared, "Three..."
"Two!"
"One."
