Chapter 337 Survival

The ploomy sky was like a dull curtain, covering the entire sea from the end of the sight. The sea breeze was

getting stronger and stronger, rolling up the waves like a monster, pounding hard on the lighthouse.

Lucia only felt that every inch of her body was cold as ice. The seawater had already reached her chest, and the

pressure made her feel that breathing had become a little difficult.

With a strong wind, bean-sized raindrops came down. The wind and waves in the sea tumbled more strongly,

even the speed of the tide was becoming faster. Lucia raised her eyes to look in the direction of the coast, where it was dark, only a little light could be seen

further down the road, but those stars of light, at such times, could not give her any comfort. Along with the numbness of the body, there were also nerves, Lucia's head was getting dizzy. A big wave hit

her and she blacked out at the impact.

Not far away, about a nautical mile away, August was still struggling to swim forward, but slowly, with the

onset of heavy rain at sea, his limbs felt like they were made of lead, and was becoming more and more heavy. August felt that the heat in his body was slowly running out. His limbs were completely mechanical paddling

forward, the most horrible thing was that August felt that his body was beginning to control. He was a very good swimmer. He used to swim for more than two hours during training, but now the situation

was completely different. More importantly, he had some sort of fear for the ocean. Ten years ago, when August was a teenager, it was also such a rainy night, he almost died in the sea. Since

thien, he had a sense of fear for the ocean, more fear of swimming in the deep sea. Even after he went through all kinds of training, suffered knife wounds, was shot, he had never felt any fear.

The fear of the ocean, had been a scar that he refused to face for more than a decade. The only people who knew about this matter wereliis deceased mother and Eliot, other than that, he hadn't

told anyone. And now, in the cold seawater, wrapped by the wind and waves, the rain kept smashing into him, the fear of

dying more than a decade ago all came back.

He took a deep breath and raised his eyes to look at the lighthouse not far ahead. He kept on telling himself to

go faster and faster, but his throat felt like it was strangled by an invisible hand, and was becoming more and

more uncomfortable.

Suddenly, his limbs became stiff. He could no longer move them and his body sank like a stone. The moment the whole body was submerged in seawater, the world seemed to be quiet, that moment, images

suddenly appeared in August's mind. The woman, she was laughing, crying, cute, sad, all kinds of images appeared like a film. The urge to survive became stronger than ever at that moment. August gritted his teeth and tried his best to

move his muscles to swim slowly forward. There wasn't much left to go. He would soon reach her!

The light on the lighthouse flickered, slowly, closer and closer, closer and closer, finally, he got close to the

lighthouse and saw that there was no one on the nearest ladder. Lucia's figure was nowhere to be seen. His heart skipped a beat, something, boomed between his cars, and he critted his teeth and continued to swim

around the lighthouse. Only when he reached the other end of the lighthouse did he sce Lucia tied to the ladder. The seawater had

reached her chin, and she was completely unconscious and delirious.

August frowned and immediately swam over with faster movements, reaching out to grab the ladder and called

August eritted his teeth, turned to look at the unconscious Lucia next to him, and suddenly reached out to hold

her hand, "Don't worry, I'll definitely take you to shore!"

The unconscious woman did not respond, but a force that he couldn't really explain was actually giving him

strength.

He took a deep breath, jumped into the sea, and swam forward with great effort, pulling Lucia closer to the

coast while swimining

Due to the fact that August was pulling Lucia behind him, his speed was much slower than his way to the

lighthouse. He not only had to swim forward witli creat effort, but lie also had to pull Lucia with him. The fear of the unknown came over him, August's body was already cold and kept shivering, but with the last

bit of perseverance deep in his mind, helped him fight till the end!

When he struggled to climb back asliore, his last ounce of strength was exhausted, he dragged Lucia to shore.

his limbs were completely numb and still.

He held on to his last breath, dragked Lucia to the beach away from the tide, and when he got up again, his legs

went limp. Then, as is covered by a black cloth, August blacked out, lost balance, fell on the ground and lost his

consciousness.
