CHAPTER 302: CLUTCH OF THE CURRENT
CLUTCH OF THE CURRENT
You grit your teeth and focus, guiding both yourself and the gaunt man toward the calmer eddy downstream. The river fights against every stroke, but your resolve is unwavering. Cold water lashes at your face, and the current threatens to tear you away from your companion. His grip is weak, but you hold on, refusing to let go.
The roar of the river drowns out all other sounds as you inch closer to the eddy, where the water swirls in a more gentle rhythm. It's a grueling effort, each meter a battle against the river's icy grip. Your muscles scream in protest, burning with exhaustion, but you push through, spurred by the flicker of hope in the man's eyes.
Finally, you reach the edge of the eddy. The water calms, the vicious pull of the river lessening. You gasp for air, the relief palpable as you and the man manage to stay afloat with less effort. But the respite is short-lived as a new threat emerges—a large piece of debris hurtling downstream, aimed directly at you like a missile.
With no time to lose, you must decide your next course of action quickly or risk being taken down by the floating hazard.
