Chapter 112 Counter-Kill (3)

"Brother Qian, you can't leave me here!"

But none of those people stopped for Anna. Jia Wenjun endured the pain and slowly stood up. As long as this woman was still here, she had hope of clearing her name.

The water level had already reached its peak, with very little difference in height, which was perfect for this group of drug traffickers to escape smoothly. But for those who were still on the boat, it was not a good thing. Even if they escaped the fire by jumping ship, they still couldn't escape the turbulent, icy seawater and reefs.

The rain, which should have been heavy, had lessened. The flames had already consumed the captain's cabin. Black smoke slapped the faces of those on deck, wantonly irritating their lungs, making it difficult to breathe and open their eyes.

With the help of the wind, the fire quickly moved towards the crowd.

"They're gone, everyone jump ship!" Jia Wenjun knew that even if the seawater was icy and turbulent, there was still a glimmer of hope. On the deck, death was certain.

"I can't swim," Hu Sixiang said, covering his mouth and nose, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"Mommy, I can't swim either," Naonao cried, choking from the smoke.

"Lili, you have a swimming ring. Can you help Naonao?" Hao Jiening pleaded with Lili.

"The swimming ring is so small, it can't support two people's weight at all." Lili wanted to help, but it wasn't realistic. Rather than both sinking, it was better to refuse from the start.

Jia Wenjun looked at the suitcase not far away and made a decisive decision: "Throw the suitcase into the sea. Naonao is light, he can sit on it and use it as a lifebuoy."

Jia Wenjun struggled to hold onto the side of the boat to stand up.

Hao Jiening didn't want Naonao to take the risk, but she had no choice now.

With thick smoke and headwind, the people on the boat didn't care that the seawater was bone-chilling and jumped into the sea, clutching various floating objects.

Looking at the burning ship in the sea, thick smoke billowing, everyone felt a mixture of emotions.

Jia Wenjun had taken advantage of the chaos on the boat to pick up the orange-yellow distress beacon that Anna had hidden, which had been found by the men in black.

She had heard those people say that it was an emergency radio beacon, and as long as they had it, no matter where they were in the sea, maritime rescue personnel could find the ship based on the specific location it sent.

Holding the beacon, she jumped into the sea, and the beacon automatically popped out of the water, sending out a distress signal.

Although they had escaped the fire on the boat and sent out a distress signal, Jia Wenjun didn't know when the rescuers would arrive, and they didn't know how long they could last in the water.

"Manager Gong was cremated just like that?" Lili looked at the thick smoke rising from the raging fire, feeling a pang in her heart. Just a few days ago, he was a living person, and now he was burned to ashes.

"May you rest in peace," Old Master Wang sighed.

Everyone was shrouded in sorrow and grief. Anna, who was holding a piece of wood to the side, suddenly laughed.

"It's gone, everything is gone." Anna leaned back, spread her limbs and floated on the water, laughing wildly like a madwoman. Her voice sounded particularly harsh and eerie in the quiet sea after the rain.

Jia Wenjun was not far from her, holding an empty large aluminum pot, swaying and floating in the water.

Dahuang, who could swim, had also run out of the dark hold and jumped into the water with everyone, clinging to a piece of wood next to Bai Ma Shan.

Hu Sixiang was wearing a life jacket, which he had put on earlier. He carefully supported the suitcase, dragging his son. He couldn't swim, and even though he knew his son couldn't either, he didn't take off his life jacket to give it to his son.

The fire on the boat grew bigger and bigger, accompanied by an indescribable smell of burning.

No one knew how long they could last. Jia Wenjun felt miserable. She didn't know how much longer she could hold on. Some of the others scattered in the water were still howling and crying, but she didn't say a word, just wanting to conserve her strength and hold on for one more second if she could.

Sun Jiaojiao looked at the raging fire on the boat and shouted hysterically, "Heaven's will! It's heaven's will!"

"God, please save us," Teacher Lin, who was wearing a life jacket, shouted to the sky.

"Naonao! Naonao!" Hao Jiening, floating next to the suitcase, suddenly became anxious. Naonao's condition was not optimistic. The child lying on the suitcase was already confused, and now he didn't even have the strength to hold onto the edge of the suitcase.

"Naonao, Naonao, what to do, what to do." Hao Jiening faced the sea, wanting to cry but no tears, repeating questions that no one could answer.

Brother Qian stood on the bow of the Sea Wolf, looking at the lives in the sea that were cheaper than grass, his face expressionless.

"Brother Qian, save me, please save me, I have Brother Ji's weakness in my hands, he has always wanted to take your position." Anna went all out, shouting for help to the people standing on the boat, desperately swimming towards the Sea Wolf.

Jia Wenjun was afraid that those people would really take Anna away, so she desperately went over to hold her back, not letting her get close to the boat.

"Jia Wenjun, you're a persistent ghost, you're looking for death, aren't you!" Anna's eyes flashed fiercely. She was a good swimmer and tried to pull Jia Wenjun into the water.

Brother Ji, who was watching the show on the boat, saw Brother Qian staring at him, and his heart sank. "Brother Qian, don't listen to her nonsense, I'll kill her right now."

"Who told you to touch her?" Brother Qian's tone was indifferent, but left no room for argument.

Brother Ji's hand, which was reaching for his gun, could only slowly let go.

Brother Qian looked at Anna floundering in the seawater and said casually, "If you kill her, I'll let you on the boat."

These words made Anna feel like she had been injected with chicken blood, wishing she could kill Jia Wenjun right now.

Everyone was scattered in the seawater, and no one could come to help Jia Wenjun.

Jia Wenjun hugged the large pot, dodging Anna's dark feet, while also fighting back. Anna wanted her life, and she wouldn't let Anna have an easy time either. If she was destined to die here, she would at least make Anna die before her.

Unfortunately, Jia Wenjun had been severely exhausted these past few days, and at this time she was basically relying on her will to survive to hold on.

Anna wanted a quick solution. She couldn't attack Jia Wenjun while clinging to the wooden board. She gritted her teeth, directly abandoned the wooden board, took a breath, and dived directly into the water, grabbing Jia Wenjun's legs with both hands, trying to drag her into the water.
