However, the tree was on the right side, which was also the masked man‘s side.

Veronica moved to the right, trying to give herself the opportunity to grasp the big tree as it might be her only chance to survive. However, the masked man might become the biggest obstacle to her survival, so she had to seize the opportunity.

The two moved to the right together, but just as they were about to reach the tree, the water surged fiercely against them with even greater resistance. As both of them were on the right side, the thick wooden pole suddenly tilted in the water and flowed downstream vertically, dragging them further away from the big tree horizontally all at once.

“You let go of the wooden pole. I‘ll grab you.” Veronica took the masked man‘s hand right away while telling him to let go of the wooden pole and swim to the river bank. After all, even a bit of a struggle could buy them a chance to survive. At this very moment, she had no other choice. Even if the chance of survival was slim, she had to shoot for it–even if the masked man might survive and kill her by cutting the rope. I don‘t want to die! she thought.

With his eyes behind his mask, the masked man gave Veronica a meaningful look. Then, he let go of her. The two had a rope tied between them. After letting go of Veronica, he struggled to swim to the right with all his might.

They were ten meters away from the big tree. Then, as the masked man swam closer and closer to the tree, the distance between them and the big tree shortened. They were six meters away… three meters away… one meter away!

The ten–meter distance was covered in the blink of an eye. At this moment, however, the masked man was still a distance away from the tree.

Veronica‘s nerves were on edge; she was very nervous, for she feared that they might miss the opportunity again. However, at the critical moment, the masked man suddenly took out a dagger and clutched it in his hand. Just when he nearly brushed past the tree, he suddenly thrust the dagger in his hand into the tree trunk.
