[166 Silent]

“Zi,Zi,Zi”, just when all the audience thought that the movie was over, Paul was buried alive like this, according to the title of the movie, but the vibrating sound of the mobile phone came again, which instantly made every audience rekindle. In the hope of hope, the urgent restlessness was forcibly suppressed, lest any sound would miss the next reversal. ????

Chanel always complains that the hero of a Hollywood movie will never die, just like an immortal cockroach. , following the usual Hollywood endings, keeping Paul alive. Her hands were clenched into fists, and her muscles were starting to sore from the force.

On the other end of the phone is the kidnapper. It was another group of people who were killed by the army, and Paul’s hope was rekindled.

However, the kidnappers demanded that Paul must record a video and cut off his fingers, otherwise they will never let it go. They know Paul’s address, where Linda and Sean live. Paul’s heart froze immediately, and his eyes burst with more dazzling light than hope, threatening the kidnappers with a calm voice, thinking that they were just frightening him, but he did not dare to take the risk.

The sand was leaking faster and faster, and it had buried Paul’s body in the blink of an eye. He immediately called Linda’s cell phone and warned them to leave quickly, otherwise staying at home would be life-threatening; the coffin lid in front of him It has been riddled with holes, and the sand is like a river, falling down in large tracts, completely burying him with the naked eye.

Later, Paul called Dan, but it was a recording. He could only quickly tell Dan that the kidnapper was still alive, and it was too late. The kidnapper only gave him five minutes to record the video.

Chanel couldn’t bear to look away, she knew that Paul would do this, he would do it. The torment and pain in her heart made her fiery. Looking at Tessa, who was covering her eyes with her hands, but couldn’t help watching through the gap, Chanel forced herself to look at the big screen again, and then saw

Paul clenched the cloth and cut off the little finger of his left hand with force, but because the bone was too hard, he could not cut it continuously. He had to start back and forth, trying to break the bone with the blade of the knife. The pain that went deep into the bone was dull. The shouting was so loud that she could even see Paul’s pupils dilated, falling into a brief blank because of too much pain, the sweat on his forehead blurring his cheeks.

Chanel couldn’t bear it any longer, and the hot tears fell down. Her stomach was tumbling, as if she could spit out all of today’s lunch at any time. The dazed feeling of extreme fear and extreme tension made her feel His thoughts were completely out of control.

After sending the video, Paul fell into a semi-conscious state, his eyes were still wide open, but the focus and focus had been lost. He just looked at the falling sand above and buried his head little by little. , as if you can clearly see the process of the air being gradually dissipated, but Paul still did not respond, and lay in the same place without life, time and space seem to have lost their meaning.

The phone vibrated again, but Paul still didn’t respond. He just waited peacefully for death to come, hoping to ignite again and again, and then to be snuffed out again, which seemed to have killed all Paul’s strength. Even Chanel, even Gavin, and even Bradley fell into a stagnation, just opened his mouth wide, watching life slowly dissipate in those pupils, as if the whole world was falling apart, and the shock was so shocking that the language was lost. Without color, even emotion loses its vitality.

“Come to the side, hurry! Hurry!” The shout came from far and near, the whole coffin began to shake, and then the voice became clear, and a ray of sunlight broke through the darkness and sprinkled down, killing the dead. Paleness and stiffness were swept away from Paul’s cheeks, “I see him! Quick! Quick! Back off, everyone back off!”

Saved, hostages saved, Paul saved, “Talk to me, Paul! and I’m talking!” Dan’s voice came from above.

Chanel raised his hand to cover his mouth, but even so, the whimper still leaked out. He was saved, he was finally saved, the kind of happiness that left her life after the catastrophe made all of Chanel’s defenses shattered, her tears bursting completely, if she hadn’t covered her mouth, she just wanted to cry loudly at this moment.

“Phew.” There was a sound, the sunlight faded, and the picture changed back to Paul’s face again. The unrequited numbness in his eyes remained sluggish and paused, and Chanel’s cry suddenly stopped.

Is that all an illusion?

This thought was like a comet hitting the earth, so that he was completely stunned, and even his breathing had been completely forgotten, and the blankness and confusion in his eyes were echoing, who can tell him that this is not true? All this is not true? Paul was saved, Paul should be saved!

Paul picked up the phone, Dan was on the other end, his voice was full of urgency, “Paul, we’re going to find you now, do you hear? We know where you are!”

“You’re coming?” Paul Some don’t respond.

“Yes, Paul.” The sound of car tires rolling quickly came from Dan’s phone, and the roar of the engine was full of vitality. “We’re almost there!”

Gavin couldn’t help standing up excitedly, but his ass He just left the chair, and then sat down again, his hands clenched into fists, the fear that wrapped around his body seemed to be torn to shreds at this moment, and the cold blood began to run wild again. self.

“The coalition just caught a Shiite rebel outside Baghdad, and he said he knew an American was buried alive. As long as we let him go, he agreed to take us there.”

Dan’s explanation brought Paul back to his senses . Come on, he began to look up and down, trying to find a gap in the sand, as if he could get out of trouble in the next second, “Are you here to find me?” Paul’s voice couldn’t be hoarse, as if from the ground. The depths emerged, but the broken eyes were pieced together bit by bit, and the deep daze found its brilliance again.

“We’re basically there,” Dan said confidently.

“You… uh, you must hurry up, hurry up…” Paul’s eyes flashed with a thin halo, which seemed to be a layer of water vapor, and seemed to be a little vitality, “you… you… sand… …sand……”

“You just have to wait three more minutes, and we’ll be there in just three minutes! I promise!” Dan kept giving Paul hope, which made Paul’s voice start to tremble, “Okay, okay, I believe you!

” Three minutes, just three minutes!” Dan kept insisting, but Paul saw the phone call and had to cut off Dan’s call, and then answered, “Linda! Linda!” Paul’s whole person became alive He got up, as if he had traveled from the hell of death, and the vigor spurted out of the words.

Chanel was already crying, she never knew that she would be moved to tears because of such a Hollywood reunion; she never knew that she would be ecstatic because of such a vulgar happy ending, but at this moment, when Paul She was truly moved and burst into tears as she vigorously called out her wife’s name.

“Paul, what the hell did they do to you? Please tell me, you’re fine. I just saw the news, and I forgot my phone at home.” Linda was also speechless, tears choked her throat, her voice Trembling slightly, the foreword does not match the afterword.

“They know where I am, they are coming, the Americans are coming for me.” Paul also burst into tears and smiled again, the sand was getting more and more full, and his chest was completely buried, and now there is only one left With his face up, he could hold his breath, but Paul didn’t care, smiled brightly, and reassured his wife, “I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine!”

“Thank God! Thank God!” Linda on the other side She had completely collapsed, and the cries drowned out her words.

“They’re coming, they’re on their way, they’ll be fine, everything will be fine.” Paul kept repeating, repeating firmly, with a dazzling brilliance in his pupils, as if he could escape in the next second , “I love you, I love you very much. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be here, I should really listen to you.” The thick nasal voice revealed Paul’s guilt and excitement at the moment, and the dry tears came out again.

“Honey, I don’t care, I just want you to go home, go home quickly!” Linda called affectionately.

“I’ll be home,” Paul said, “I promise, I promise!” Then Dan called again, Paul had to cut the phone, and Linda’s urgent voice came, “I love you, I really really do. Love you, darling, promise again? Promise me!”

“I promise!” Paul’s voice choked, his breathing stopped for a split second, like a millisecond, like a century, and then he connected When I got Dan’s call, the sound of a shovel came from the other end of the phone, and Dan said excitedly, here we are, here we are. Paul, hold on, hold on! ”

The whole coffin has been stuffed, only a small gap is left, and Paul’s cheeks have been buried with sand. “You must hurry, the sand is full.” ”

Paul, hold on, we’re on top of you.” “Dan continued to cheer Paul, “Almost, almost!” We saw the coffin, we saw it! ”

“Hurry up, hurry up!” Paul couldn’t hold it anymore, the light of the flashlight was gradually being buried, Paul pressed tightly against the coffin board, his voice became more and more earnest, more and more urgent, and more and more weak, “Open it, open it quickly, quickly.” “He can clearly touch the light of life, and the darkness of death is chasing him behind him. One step, just one step, he can escape. “Hurry up!” hurry up! God! God! ”

“My God.” “Dan’s voice came, full of despair…silence, long silence, silence that made the world go cold, “I’m so sorry, Paul.” It’s Mark White. He took us to the site where Mark White was buried alive. I’m sorry, really sorry. “The

sand completely buried the flashlight, and the last ray of light disappeared, and then the whole coffin was filled. Paul, disappeared too. The big screen fell into darkness again.

Gavin was stunned, Chanel was stunned, Ty Sha was stunned, everyone in the entire theater was stunned, everything came too suddenly, they were lifted up high, and then smashed down, all hope was smashed into countless pieces , and then froze in place, his head stopped, and even his soul was completely rigid.

Gavin felt a suffocation, and the cold fear swallowed his brain.8
