Janet closed her eyes as she felt her back collide with the branches. She had no control over her body
as she plunged, getting thrashed by the branches along the way.
Janet yelped as the pain grew unbearable. The branches broke, and the birds fled in fear, squealing
aloud.
Janet passed through several branches and finally dangled on one of them that seemed to squeak
under her weight. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the world spin around her.
For a moment, she couldn’t fathom why the whole world was upside down. The sky was under her feet
and the land above her head. Janet involuntarily wriggled to escape. Unable to withstand her weight
any longer, the branch broke, and she fell to the ground with a loud thud.
“Ouch!” Janet screamed as she felt something sting all over her body. The ground was covered with
layers and layers of leaves. The deformed parachute decelerated the fall, causing minimal damage.
Besides, the canopy of branches and the heaps of leaves seemed to hold her in place. Janet looked
around and saw the coach writhing on the ground a couple of meters away from her.
“Are you okay?” Janet took a deep breath and tried crawling toward him to check his condition. But she
couldn’t move a finger. Every bone in her body hurt. Even the slightest movement caused her immense
pain. She lay on the ground until her breathing returned to normal. Finally, she mustered the strength
and stood up.
Then, she slowly limped toward the coach, An involuntary moan escaped her lips as she struggled to
place her foot on the ground, The coach was still lying on the ground, gasping for breath. He was more
injured than Janet.
“Legs, my legs…” Janet carefully rolled up his pants and found that both his legs had swollen up like a
pumpkin. They were deformed.
“It looks like a fracture. Can you try and stand up?” Janet grabbed his hand, trying to help him stand up.
However, as soon as she moved his leg, he screamed in pain.
Janet tried several ways to help him but to no avail. The coach was in so much pain that he couldn’t
move his body.
“No! I can’t!”
The coach cried out in pain and immediately lay back on the ground. His back was drenched in a cold
sweat. Janet finally gave up to spare him from the pain. She sat on the ground and scanned the
surroundings.
They were deep into the woods. To make things worse, the coach had broken his legs. Therefore, it
was impossible to leave the place by themselves. Janet closed her eyes and let out a weary sigh. They
had no choice but to wait for someone to rescue them.
“I hope they can find us before it gets dark.” Janet untied the parachute and rolled her sleeves up to
examine her wounds. Her body was covered in scratches and bruises. She rolled down her sleeves
and groaned, “How unfortunate of me to encounter such a situation during my first skydiving
experience. Gosh, I’ll never try this again.”
“To be honest, I have never encountered such a situation before,” the coach said breathlessly.
“The toughest situation I had encountered before was with a client who became terrified midway and
wanted to get back into the helicopter. But we were already flying in the air.” Janet smiled bitterly.
The coach shifted on the ground, yelping in pain.
“Check if the satellite phone on my waist is working or not. If it is, then we can use it to ask for help.
The people in the helicopter should have seen our approximate landing location as well.”
Janet quickly took the phone from his waist. Luckily, the phone was still working. Following the coach’s
instructions, she called the emergency team for help.
