My Beauty Variety: Starting from Banshee Town
Chapter 313 Like a thorn in the back
Sonny led the way and waded into the river.
Others followed closely behind, forming a long queue, moving forward step by step without making too many mistakes.
The current is fast, and the result of stepping on the wrong foot is to be quickly washed away.
At this time, everyone was very alert. If they were washed away in this place, no one would come to rescue them. Life or death would be determined by fate.
Ethan put everything in his trouser pockets into his shirt pocket, took off his boots like everyone else, hung them around his neck, and stepped into the cold river water.
He was sweating profusely just now, but now his whole body was suddenly freezing, and he couldn't help but shiver.
The water in the river was up to my thighs, and waves of momentum came from me.
Following Sonny's reminder, he waded forward, keeping his feet firmly on the ground.
Anna walked in front of Ethan, being pulled by her grandfather. Her body was short and swayed by the river water.
When Ethan saw this, he picked her up.
Anna exclaimed softly, and before she could react, she sat on Ethan's shoulder.
His grandfather quickly turned around and saw Anna being carried by Ethan. He nodded gratefully and continued to move forward.
"ah!"
Screams rang out and everyone stopped.
There was a person behind who stepped on the wrong foot. His body was unstable and he was quickly carried away by the river. He kept struggling on the water.
Seeing the man rolling and hitting a protruding stone in the river, red splashes appeared in the river, which were quickly washed away.
In just a few seconds, Ethan saw the horror of the illegal crossing.
A living life was swallowed up silently.
The other stowaways had a flash of sadness in their eyes, then cheered up and continued on.
Anna's voice was a little low, and she asked in unskilled English: "Sir, do you think we can live like Americans?"
"I don't know either."
Ethan shook his head: "But don't give up smiling, life will always get better."
A cold touch touched his forehead, and then slid down.
"You are a good person."
Anna put a necklace around his neck and said in a clear voice: "This is a gift from Letty. Now I give it to you. I hope it brings you good luck."
Ethan glanced down and saw a small silver star on the leather cord necklace.
"Thanks."
Unexpectedly, during the stowaway trip, I also made a child.
"How about you come with us." Anna continued:
"Letty is just like you. She's a cool guy who you can be good friends with."
"This Letty is your neighbor?"
"Yes, when I was little, she often took me out to play, just like a family member."
The two of them chatted like this, and soon crossed the river.
After landing, Sonny gave him another two minutes to rest and put on dry clothes if he could. If not, he could only hold on wet.
Ethan changed his clothes and threw away the wet pants to avoid getting the bag wet.
"Everyone listen."
Sonny called everyone over and said with a serious expression:
"Don't think that you are safe after passing this section. The most dangerous time is next."
"Everyone must remain vigilant. If you see a stranger, you must hide as soon as possible. We are still three hours away from our destination. Don't relax."
"When you reach the transfer point, everyone can get on the bus."
Just like when they came here, after they walk a certain distance, they will get into the car hidden here and drive to their destination.
Otherwise, just relying on legs to walk would make the old, weak, women and children in the team look bald.
There are also stowaways who rely only on their legs, and they often have to walk for several days. Baz would not dare to arrange that kind of itinerary for Ethan.
Sonny's level of difficulty in smuggling is already considered a VIP channel.
"OK."
"knew."
The stowaways around him quickly responded in low voices, with a hint of horror on their expressions.
After spending a lot of money and going through a lot of trouble to cross the border, if you are caught by the border patrol, everything will be in vain.
After making sure everyone understood what he meant, Sonny dropped his cigarette butt and walked forward.
Seeing the nervous expression on the face of the little girl Anna, Ethan smiled and squeezed her hand, moving with the crowd.
They walked in the woods for more than an hour before walking out of the mountains.
Keep moving forward along the rolling hills.
Looking at the scene in front of them, many people were still secretly muttering in their hearts whether they had gone to the wrong place.
After all, when I look around now, I see a deserted place with bushes all over the place. Not to mention strangers, there are no ghosts. It doesn’t feel like a superpower at all.
In fact, there is another very interesting thing. Someone once took a photo at the US-Mexico border.
There are tall buildings on one side and extremely desolate on the other side.
Many people think that the prosperous side is America and the desolate side is Mexico.
Quite the opposite actually.
The United States is vast and sparsely populated. Out of fear of stowaways, ordinary people will not choose to settle on the border.
Most people will gather in places with more comfortable climate and economic conditions, so the American border will appear particularly desolate.
But most of the people here knew about the situation and followed Sonny closely.
Ethan picked up the mineral water bottle and drank the last bit of water.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a light coming from the distance.
The light flashed by.
A feeling like a thorn in the back suddenly arose, making Ethan feel as if he was being pointed at a gun.
"Danger!"
He followed the walking pace and quickly squatted down.
"boom."
The bushes beside him were broken by a shot.
At the same time, Sonny, who was leading the way, suddenly had a ball of blood mist explode above his head.
In the team, two people were also beaten into blood mist and fell to the ground.
"Border Patrol, militia."
"Run quickly."
This sudden change caused the scene to explode immediately, with people yelling and running away.
At this moment, on the hill in the distance, three open jeeps roared up and drove towards them at high speed.
The crisp sound of gunfire continued to ring out, and the people in the car kept firing at them with rifles.
Ethan dodged the first wave of attacks, came back to his senses, and threw himself at Anna who was stunned on the spot.
"Bang."
The warm blood filled his face.
Looking at Anna who was thrown to the ground by him, Ethan's eyes turned cold and he suddenly raised his head to look at the vehicle in the distance.
The man above was holding an old-fashioned rifle, as if he were hunting.
There were several people sitting in each car. The car in the middle, wearing a cowboy hat, cheered to the side after the shot hit.
Anna's grandfather was also shot to the ground in the chaos.
He struggled to look at Anna and closed his eyes.
