Views:

The woman in the video is Pamela Rutty, Paul's colleague and mother of two, who was also in the convoy that was attacked today. It now appears that as a hostage, she is being held in another location with the kidnappers. The kidnappers demanded that if Paul didn't record the kidnapping video, they would tear up the ticket immediately.

Chanel was stunned, the muscles in his body could not move at all, and even his soul had frozen into ice, the shock and fear that burst out from the depths of his heart, clenched his throat fiercely, and could not make a sound at all. —This part of the performance was Renly’s performance when he auditioned at the youth hostel. There was desperation in the panic, and determination in the fear. Coming down, Chanel was completely stunned.

Compared with the performance in the youth hostel, the performance on the big screen was more shocking, crazier, and more realistic. Between the light and shadow, those dark brown eyes firmly grabbed all attention, even breathing. The sound had completely disappeared, and the smell of blood could be clearly felt between Chanel's lips and teeth, which exploded mightily.

It's over, it's over, watching Paul press his cheek against the floor of the coffin, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but the brilliance in his eyes had completely disappeared. Gavin knew that everything was over, and the fear wrapped around his ankles had climbed to his chest at this time, the warmth of his heart and the ups and downs of his lungs seemed to have slowed down, but he still couldn't move, he could only watch All of this happened, but there was nothing I could do about it.

When the big screen fell into darkness again, the entire theater was silent for 25 seconds, but no one was dissatisfied or irritated. Everyone sat quietly in the same place, then opened their eyes, and then opened their eyes again. Eyes, trying to find a trace of light in the unfathomable darkness, even if it's just the light in the depths of Paul's eyes.

The rhythm of the movie seemed to have suddenly stagnated, and the audience's brains were finally able to re-run a little, but at this moment, the dim light of the green glow sticks tore through the cover of darkness, lit up again, and then Seeing that Paul looked at the soles of his feet in horror, his breathing was trembling slightly, but his muscles were tense to the extreme.

"The Star Wants To Retire"

"Ah!" Looking down the camera, many people in the auditorium exclaimed in surprise, and even the daring people were taken aback. snake! A snake actually climbed into the coffin. Although the species could not be distinguished in the dim light, all snakes in the desert were deadly, especially the rattlesnake. In such a narrow space, it was almost equivalent to convicting Paul. The death penalty, any slight frivolity, and the movie ends right here.

Exclamation, involuntarily, even began to numb the scalp, goose bumps crawled all over the body.

In panic, Paul held his breath, opened the small jug, sprinkled the little remaining alcohol in the direction where the snake was circling, and then carefully lit the lighter, and his eyes met the snake. In the nick of time, the flame of the lighter exploded, igniting the alcohol remaining in Paul's hand. He subconsciously threw the lighter over, then quickly leaned his legs back, and in a hurry, kicked the phone out.

At this moment, the mobile phone began to vibrate, and the twinkling light looked extremely faint in the flames, but the snake was not injured at all, but passed through the line of fire composed of alcohol, heading towards Paul. climbed over.

Chanel clenched his teeth tightly, so he didn't exclaim, holding his breath and staring at the big screen, the snake changed direction at the last moment, climbed over the phone, and then got in through a gap next to it. out in the sand.

But the crisis still hadn't been touched, and the phone was still vibrating tirelessly, like a life-threatening talisman, one click, then another. Paul kept glancing at the phone out of the corner of his eyes, but the movement in his hand quickly plugged the jacket into the gap, a brake could not be reached, the small jug was poured, and the alcohol that was not there gurgled out; and the phone was still beeping. Stop, it seems that the moment of cessation is the moment when Paul's life ends.

It was difficult to block the gap, but then Chanel found out that there was a fire on one side, a mobile phone on the other, and Paul was on the other end of the coffin, and he couldn't reach it at all! So, Paul curled up to the extreme again, trying to replicate the turn just now, his head, neck, and spine were stuck to the extreme, it seemed that as long as he added a little strength, it would fall apart. After a suffocating short stop, Paul finally completed it again. He turned around, but before he could stretch out his hand, the phone stopped vibrating, and at the same time, the alcohol that had slipped out was getting closer and closer to the fire, and even the light sticks had been burned to the point of melting. would be set on fire, and Paul would be burned alive.

Chanel wanted to close her eyes and could hardly bear to look directly. Tessa, who was beside her, was completely curled up in her arms, refusing to watch, but Chanel forced her eyes to open wide, unwilling to miss every detail. Just when the alcohol was about to touch the flames, Paul quickly pushed the sand on the ground over, not only blocking the alcohol, but also extinguishing the flames.

Chanel was almost out of breath, and before she knew it, her dry throat started to vomit and her stomach was so tense that it spasmed. The suffocation of the drowning creature made its lungs burn hot.

After finally getting through the crisis situation, the atmosphere seems to have eased a little. Paul picked up the phone and searched it unconsciously, but inadvertently found the option to change the language, successfully switched from Arabic to English, and then found the phone number of the phone, he immediately fell into ecstasy, first called Linda , but it was still a recording, no one answered, and to make matters worse, there was only one battery left on the phone.

At this moment, the kidnappers sent a second video, because Pamela's request was not answered by the government, they executed Pamela on the spot. Seeing the image of his brain cracking, Paul's panic surged up, and he began to vomit frantically, but there was nothing left in his stomach, and he could only spit out a lot of stomach acid and saliva. The fear of death has touched the skin.

In desperation, Mark White is Paul's only hope, Mark White, who was kidnapped but saved.

Paul dialed Dan’s number, and Dan immediately accused Paul of making a kidnapping video. Now the video has more than 40,000 views on YouTube, pushing the kidnappers to the point where they have no choice; but Paul doesn’t care anymore, "I found the phone number, but you didn't, why?" Dan couldn't give an answer to Paul's exhausted and desperate question, "I don't know." This was the only answer he had to all of Paul's questions.

At this moment, the sound of fighting came from outside the coffin, and Paul realized that the team searching for him was likely to be nearby, which rekindled a glimmer of hope, but before there was time to continue the conversation, the explosion caused the entire coffin to fall. Shaking the mountain, it seemed that the army and the kidnappers had a head-on conflict.

But Paul didn't have time to rejoice at all, because the coffin board was blown off and the sand poured down like a waterfall. It seemed that it didn't take much time to really bury Paul alive. Paul took out the jacket that plugged the gap and tried to plug the hole on the top of his head, but this action of tearing down the wall to make up the west didn't seem to have much effect. At the moment of crisis, the phone vibrated again, and Paul seemed to be grabbing. Lived like straws, answered the phone.

The voice on the other end of the phone was calm and polite. It was Aaron Davenport, the company's director of personnel.

Gavin felt the cold, bitingly cold, as if the temperature in his chest had begun to disappear, and the tide of fear had poured into his neck, leaving only the brain to function. At a critical moment, when his life was on the line, at a precarious moment, Allen called and fired Paul on the grounds of suspecting that Paul was having an affair with Pamela, not only cutting Paul's lifeline, but even cutting it off Paul's legacy - if Paul died here, neither his wife nor his family would receive any subsidy.

The icy coldness of these giant mechanical institutions such as large companies and national governments/governments makes people shudder from the bottom of their hearts. When faced with a life at stake, what they think about is to minimize their own economic losses, even the slightest bit of humanity is lost. No.

When Paul hung up the phone feebly, there was silence in the entire auditorium. The suffocating feeling of drowning made people feel hopeless, and even the strength to resist could not be generated.

The coffin board couldn't hold up again, and began to leak sand. Dan called and confirmed that the army had bombed all the kidnappers. "Do they know I'm here? Do they care?" This is Paul's only question, Because the kidnapper is dead, no one knows where he is buried. In the vast desert, it is impossible to find someone. "Everything is over, right?"

"No." Dan, speechless, just retorted subconsciously, but then said, "Yes."

After hanging up, Paul turned on the phone again, recorded a video, and left everything he had to his wife Linda and son Sean as a will, "I love you, Sean." This is what he left in the world. The last traces below. The sand sparsely fell like a waterfall and continued to fall, burying him little by little. Paul's face began to blur, leaving only the joking words echoing in the dim light.

Tessa bit her lower lip and sobbed, tears continuing to fall even as she tried. He watched Paul helplessly, lit the lighter, put it on his chest, quietly watched the flames being buried by the gravel little by little, calm and calm, as if the world had finally quieted down, and the sound of the sand falling continuously came from his ears, Quiet and grand.

Tessa covered her mouth hard, and again and again, the quenching of hope had cut off all Paul's courage, and then, it was over, as if choking her throat and choking her breath.
