Traveling at the hover car's speed, he would have a window of two seconds to jump out of the car or else the momentum would make them miss the lake. If he missed, he would need all nine of a cat's lives to survive.
Alex's focused intently, silencing all other thoughts and processes, his mind quietly calculating the time and distance.
1, 2, 3… Now!
Alex held Yuri, briskly hit open the car door, and jumped out of the car.
Their bodies quickly fell and Alex felt the momentum slow and lose energy. Upon hitting the surface of the water, their bodies bounced up and across a couple of meters before falling once more, landing them in the water with a smack.
Alex was completely encased by icy lake water, which washed away the blood on his face and numbed all his pain.
Wu Xiufan watched in disbelief as Alex made the impossible jump. The precision and timing were impeccable. He had calculated the trajectory perfectly, ensuring a safe landing on the magnetic net.
As Alex and Yuri emerged from the water, soaked and shivering, Wu Xiufan rushed to their aid. He wrapped them in warm blankets, ensuring their comfort.
"You idiot," Wu Xiufan scolded, his voice filled with both relief and frustration. "You could have been killed."
Alex, exhausted but relieved, smiled weakly. "I had to save him," he replied. "He's my friend."
Wu Xiufan sighed, understanding the depth of Alex's compassion. He knew that Alex would always put others before himself.
As they returned to the city, Alex and Yuri were treated by the best medical professionals. The ordeal had taken a toll on their bodies, but their spirits remained unbroken.
The incident had been a wake-up call for Wu Xiufan. He had underestimated the dangers that lurked in the shadows. He vowed to be more vigilant, to protect Alex at all costs.
Together, they would face the challenges that lay ahead, united by a bond that was stronger than any force in the universe.
Wu Xiufan watched in disbelief as Alex leaped from the speeding car. It was a death-defying act, a testament to Alex's courage and determination. He knew that Alex had sacrificed his own safety to save the life of another.
As Alex landed in the water, Wu Xiufan's heart sank. He feared the worst, but he also knew that Alex was a fighter. He had faced countless challenges and emerged victorious.
Wu Xiufan quickly landed his car and rushed towards the lake. He jumped into the water, searching for Alex and Yuri. The water was cold and murky, but he pressed on, driven by a sense of urgency.
Finally, he found them, clinging to each other, barely conscious. He pulled them to the surface, their bodies limp and unresponsive.
Wu Xiufan knew he had to act fast. He performed CPR on both Alex and Yuri, breathing life back into their lifeless bodies. Slowly, their eyes began to flutter, and they regained consciousness.
As Alex opened his eyes, he saw Wu Xiufan's worried face. "You're okay," Wu Xiufan said, relief evident in his voice.
Alex nodded weakly, his body still recovering from the ordeal. He glanced at Yuri, who was slowly regaining consciousness. "We made it," he whispered, a sense of accomplishment washing over him.
Wu Xiufan helped Alex and Yuri onto the shore, where they could rest and recover. As they sat by the lake, the sun setting over the horizon, Wu Xiufan couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude. He was grateful for Alex, for his courage, his compassion, and his unwavering spirit. He was grateful for their love, a love that had transcended the boundaries of human understanding.
Wu Xiufan watched in disbelief as Alex leaped from the speeding car. It was a death-defying act, a testament to Alex's courage and determination. He immediately activated the car's emergency braking system, slowing it down before it could cause any further damage.
As Alex and Yuri landed in the water, Wu Xiufan raced towards them. He jumped into the water, his body cutting through the surface. He reached Alex and Yuri, pulling them to safety.
Alex, shivering and exhausted, was barely conscious. Wu Xiufan carried him to the shore, gently laying him down on the soft grass. He checked Alex's vital signs, relieved to find that he was still alive.
Turning his attention to Yuri, Wu Xiufan administered first aid. He knew that time was of the essence. Yuri's life hung by a thread.
As the sun began to rise, casting its golden rays over the serene lake, Wu Xiufan sat beside Alex, his hand resting on his forehead. He had witnessed firsthand the lengths Alex would go to protect others. It was a love that transcended the ordinary, a love that was both inspiring and terrifying.
He knew that Alex would recover, that he would rise again, stronger than ever. And he would be there, by his side, every step of the way.
Their bodies quickly fell and Alex felt the momentum slow and lose energy. Upon hitting the surface of the water, their bodies bounced up and across a couple of meters before falling once more, landing them in the water with a smack.
Alex was completely encased by icy lake water, which washed away the blood on his face and numbed all his pain.
When wu Xiufan found him under the water, Alex had already lost consciousness, but his hands still tightly gripped Yuri.
Wu Xiufan separated the two, allowing the guards to rescue Yuri, then grabbed Alex and swiftly dragged him to the surface.
At this point, Alex's breathing was already shallow, his face deathly pale, and his lips blue with cold.
Wu Xiufan's face was expressionless, but the slight trembling in his arms revealed his inner anxiety
Wu Xiufan pulled Alex from the icy waters, his heart pounding in his chest. Alex's body was limp, his face pale and lifeless. The once vibrant young man was now a mere shell, a casualty of a reckless act of bravery.
Panic surged through Wu Xiufan. He knew he had to act fast, to revive Alex before it was too late. He performed CPR, chest compressions and breaths, his movements desperate and frantic.
As he worked, Wu Xiufan couldn't help but think of all that Alex had sacrificed. He had risked his life to save another, a selfless act that spoke volumes about his character.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Alex coughed up water and gasped for air. His eyes fluttered open, slowly focusing on Wu Xiufan's worried face.
"You're alive," Wu Xiufan breathed a sigh of relief. "You scared me."
Alex smiled weakly. "I'm fine," he said, his voice raspy. "Just a little shaken."
Wu Xiufan knew better. He could see the toll the ordeal had taken on Alex. But he also knew that Alex was a fighter, a survivor. He would recover, stronger than ever.
As they returned to the hovercar, Wu Xiufan couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude. He was grateful for Alex, for his courage, his compassion, and his unwavering spirit. He knew that as long as Alex was by his side, they could overcome any challenge.
Alex's eyes fluttered open, his vision blurred and his body aching. He could feel the icy water seeping into his clothes, chilling him to the bone.
He glanced at Yuri, who was still unconscious, his body limp and lifeless. A wave of panic washed over him. He had to do something, and fast.
With renewed determination, Alex dragged Yuri's limp body onto the shore. He performed CPR, chest compressions and rescue breaths, until finally, Yuri coughed up water and gasped for air.
"You're alright," Alex said, relief washing over him.
Yuri's eyes fluttered open, a look of confusion and exhaustion etched on his face. "What happened?" he asked, his voice weak.
Alex explained what had happened, the car malfunction, the desperate escape, the leap of faith. Yuri listened, a sense of awe and gratitude filling his heart.
As they sat on the shore, recovering from their ordeal, Alex couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. He had faced death and emerged victorious. He had saved a life, a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
But he also knew that the danger was far from over. The mysterious force that had attacked them was still out there, waiting to strike again. They had to be vigilant, to be prepared for whatever challenges lay ahead.
With renewed determination, Alex and Yuri rose to their feet. They had faced adversity and emerged stronger. They were ready to face whatever the future held.
Wu Xiufan pulled Alex onto the hover car, his heart pounding with relief and worry. Alex's body was limp, his face pale. He needed medical attention immediately.
As they soared through the sky, Wu Xiufan couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for Alex's courage and determination. He had risked his life to save another, a selfless act that spoke volumes about his character.
"You idiot," Wu Xiufan muttered, his voice filled with both admiration and exasperation. "Why do you always have to push yourself to the limit?"
Alex, weakly, managed a smile. "It's what I do," he replied.
Wu Xiufan sighed. He knew that he couldn't change Alex. He was a force of nature, a spirit that could not be tamed. But he also knew that he would always be there to protect him, to guide him.
As they flew through the sky, the sun began to rise, casting a golden glow over the landscape. A new day was dawning, a day filled with hope and promise. And as Alex and Wu Xiufan soared through the heavens, they knew that they were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
