“This explains why he took Tom's car. It's because his car is a large off-road vehicle. The turbine's power is very strong. It's easy to pull away a big tree,” the drunkard said.
All their doubts became clearer. Willie looked at the tall tree and said, “What should we do now? We should cut down a big tree to imitate the Death Inquisitor.”
“No, we don't have time. Besides, we don't have the tools now. When we finish here, it will be over by the time we get back there,” the drunkard refused without hesitation.
With his intelligence, he would not allow him to do useless work. Cutting down the tree now was useless work and a waste of time.
“This won't do either. We can't do anything but watch the Death inquisitor burn them to death.”.
Loggins hammered his fist into the tree. This feeling of helplessness was really a pain in the a.s.s.
However, what could they do now.
Other than sigh, what else could they do.
There was nothing they could do.
But they couldn't just sit and stay still either. It was really brain-burning.
At this moment, the drunkard said, “Willie, report the situation here. We'll continue to search for the missing car. Maybe we can even find the tree trunk. That'll be easy.”
“All right!”
Ross found out the truth of the matter. His entire person was in a bad mood. He looked at the tall tree beside him. d.a.m.n it!
How could I have not expected that I, a dignified leader of a Major Crimes Department, would be stumped by a tall tree? If I were to say this out loud, people would beat me to death.
It was simply a disgrace to the police force. They had completely lost face.
However, it was too late to say anything.
The time used to cut down the trees was also used by the helicopters.
At this time, Comey had already started the second rescue. The police officers gathered the nearby tree trunks and formed a simple raft. They stuffed small branches and weeds in the middle so that they could increase the area of force and buoyancy. Then, the police officers held hands. They were ready to go down to save the people.
The rest of the police officers were searching at the periphery. If they were to cut down the trees now, the situation would only get worse.
Thinking of this, Ross said, “I got it. You guys continue to search. Report back as soon as you have any clues.”
“Yes!”
Putting down the radio, Kermie walked over and said, “Team Leader Luo, we are ready. We can save them now.”
Ross nodded solemnly and said, “Time waits for no man. We must act immediately. But remember, safety first. We must ensure the safety of our lives under any circ.u.mstances.”
“Yes!”
“Understood!”
Kermie left and immediately organized a raft to save the people. The police first put down the raft, and the raft stopped steadily on the surface of the water. The police began to stand on it tentatively.
One person, two people…
Everyone dragged each other forward at a very slow speed. In addition, the swamp was full of mud. After a few minutes, they had only advanced a few meters.
Ross saw the actions of the people below and suddenly realized something. He cursed angrily and fell into the trap again.
This was actually a trap. On the surface, they had given two choices. One was to escape from the iron bucket, and the other was to endure the burning fire. Either choice was full of danger. People would choose the relatively safe method, but what they did not know was that it was also the whole idea that pushed them into the endless abyss.
In fact, they could totally just slowly walk to the safe zone. A few minutes was enough time to leave the central area of the swamp. Even if the car flowed out and eventually ignited, because of the terrain, the gasoline would spread to the ground. They would, at most, burn some clothes and would not be greatly affected.
However, it was too late to say anything now. The scene had already turned into a sea of fire.
This time, they were misled by the Death Inquisitor again. They had unconsciously fallen into his trap. Only then did they realize that this was because they were familiar with the Death inquisitor and had dealt with him so many times. As for those who didn't understand the torturers, it was really difficult for them to react.
Perhaps, this was why he was so terrifying. Or perhaps, he had seen through everyone's bad nature.
In the swamp area, the fire was still burning. The hot temperature was converging in the middle, and the temperature was frighteningly high.
Tom and the other two who were hiding under the mud felt like they were in a large steamer. Their whole bodies were stretched out and uncomfortable. Through the surface of the water, they could clearly see the flames burning above. Thick smoke billowed, and the fire was fierce.
More than a minute had pa.s.sed.
They could no longer hold it in. They kept spitting bubbles. Their oxygen had been used up, but the scorching temperature outside made them afraid to show their heads.
They could not hold it in anymore. At this moment, Tom felt like his heart was about to explode. He could not hold it in for even a second.
Just as he stuck his head out, he felt a wave of heat hitting his face. With a crackling sound, his skin was scorched, oil flowed, and even flames were rising. He did not dare to hesitate at all. He opened his mouth greedily and took a breath.
Instantly, he let out a shrill scream.
At this moment, the camera zoomed in on him. His entire face was distorted and deformed under the flames. His eyes were bulging out and were filled with blood vessels.
However, the camera could not capture the changes within him. This wave of heat had charred his lips and entered his trachea. Finally, it entered his lungs. Tom roared. He did not feel like he was breathing oxygen. Instead, he felt like he was breathing a ball of raging fire.
“Ah Ah, Death Judge, I'm going to kill you.”
Tom was on the verge of collapse, but survival was an instinct.
He had no choice but to keep his mouth open and greedily breathe in the hot air wave.
Hiss Hiss Hiss!
It brought an even more searing pain.
At this time, Tom's facial features had been scorched by the fire. The flesh on his face was limp, revealing the muscles at the base of his teeth. Through the light, one could see that his mouth and nose had been scorched, and only his eyes were exposed. There was a large amount of blood inside.
“Woo Woo! Help! I don't want to die!” His voice was hoa.r.s.e. The heat wave had destroyed his vocal cords, and now he could not even make a sound.
At the same time, Jeff and Charles could not hold it in anymore. They had to stick out their heads and take large mouthfuls of oxygen.
What followed was an even more shrill scream.
The heatwave traveled along their windpipes and swept all the way to their lungs. It mercilessly burned their bodies and even their souls. Under the immense pain, their faces distorted and their bodies convulsed violently.
“No, let me go. I know I was wrong. Help!”
“Yes, yes, yes. Everything I did was for my daughter. I had no choice.”
Jeff felt an unbearable heat. He felt as if his entire body was going to be scorched. He returned to the mud and gulped down a few mouthfuls of mud. He felt suffocated and could not help but pop his head out again.
Jeff was now in a dilemma. He felt that everything was designed by the Death Inquisitor to torture them. After a few tortures, they had already broken down.
“F*CK! d.a.m.n Death Inquisitor, this is simply a dead cycle.”
Jeff realized the seriousness of the matter, but he was helpless, and there was nothing he could do.
He could only bitterly endure the torture on both his body and soul. On the other side, Charles' situation was even worse. Because of his body, his lower body lost consciousness. He struggled to get up with great difficulty but was immediately attacked by the heatwave. His face was severely burned.
He wanted to sink, but his body could not exert any strength. He endured the pain of the fire again and again and struggled to get down. He finally managed to get rid of the fire, but he ate a mouthful of stinky mud. A strong feeling of suffocation came from him. The cycle was endless, and he did not hesitate to reincarnate. He had been played badly.
Tom and the other two miserably screamed. The feeling of being torture with ice and fire was like falling into h.e.l.l. It was like being in an inescapable and endless pit of fire and ice.
