"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 complained that the hero of a Hollywood movie will never die, just like an immortal cockroach, which is really disgusting; but at this moment, she has never been able to hope that this movie can be more conventional and follow the Hollywood The consistent ending that kept 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 give up - they know Paul's address, where Linda and Sean live. Paul's heart froze immediately, and a brighter light than hope burst out from his eyes, threatening the kidnappers with a stern voice, thinking that they were just frightening him, but he didn't dare to take the risk.

tsxsw.la

The sand was leaking faster and faster, and it had buried Paul's body in a 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 was riddled with holes, and the sand was like a river, falling down in large swaths, completely burying him at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Later, Paul called Dan's phone, 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 agitated. 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 couldn't cut it. He had to start back and forth, trying to break the bone with the edge of the knife. The shouting burst out to the extreme, 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 he could clearly see the process of the air being gradually dissipated, but Paul still did not respond, and lay in the same place lifelessly, time and space seemed to have lost their meaning.

The phone vibrated again, but Paul still didn't respond. He just waited peacefully for death to come. Hope was ignited again and again, and then smothered 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, shocking to lose words. 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! Talk to me!" Dan's voice rang 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 survived the catastrophe made all of Chanel's defenses shattered, and her tears completely burst. 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 hit Gavin like a comet hitting the earth, so that he was completely stunned, even his breathing was completely forgotten, the blankness and confusion in his eyes echoed, who can tell him, this is not real? All this is not true? Paul was saved, Paul should be saved!

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

"You're coming?" Paul couldn't react.

"Yeah, Paul." The sound of car tires rolling quickly came from Dan's phone, and the roar of the engine was full of life. "We're almost there!"

Gavin couldn't help standing up excitedly, but his butt had just left the chair, and then he sat down again, his hands clenched into fists, the fear that wrapped around his body seemed to be torn to shreds at this moment, cold blood He started to run wild again, and he couldn't help himself with that kind of blowout joy.

"The coalition just caught a Shiite insurgent outside Baghdad who said he knew an American was buried alive. He agreed to take us there as long as we let him go."

Dan's explanation finally brought Paul back to his senses. 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, "You came to me?" Paul's response The voice could not be hoarse, it seemed to emerge dryly from the depths of the ground, 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 bit of life, "you... you... sand... sand..."

"You only need to wait three more minutes, just three minutes and we'll be there! 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 fresh Come alive, as if traveling from the hell of death, and the vigor spews out of the words.

Chanel was already crying, she never knew that she would be moved to tears by 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 fuller and he had completely buried his chest, and now there was only one left With his face up, he could keep breathing, but Paul didn't care, smiled brightly, and reassured his wife, "I'll be fine, I'll be fine!"

"Thank God! Thank God!" Linda had completely collapsed on the other side, crying drowns 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 couldn't help choking, his breathing stopped at this moment, it seemed only a millisecond, it seemed like another century, and then he connected Dan's phone, and there was the sound of a shovel on the other end of the phone. , Dan said excitedly, "We're here, we're here, right here. Paul, hold on, hold on!"

The entire coffin has been stuffed, leaving only a thin gap, and Paul's cheeks have been buried in the 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 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 Ah, open quickly, quickly." He could clearly touch the light of life, and the darkness of death was chasing him behind him, one step, just one step, and he could escape. "Hurry up! Hurry up! God! God!"

"My God," came Dan's voice, full of despair... Silence, long silence, silence that froze the world, "I'm so sorry, Paul. It's Mark White. He took us to Bury Mark Alive. - White's location. Sorry, really sorry."

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

Gavin was stunned, Chanel was stunned, Tessa was stunned, everyone in the entire theater was stunned, everything came too suddenly, they were lifted up like this, and then fiercely The ground smashed down, all the hopes were smashed into countless pieces, and then froze in place, the head stopped working, and even the soul was completely rigid.

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