The mist from the showers dimmed the room, and the sweat was streaming down Ender's body. Now, before thesoap is carried off me. Now, while I'm still too slippery to hold.Ender stepped back, letting the fear he felt show in his face. "Bonzo, don't hurt me," he said. "Please."It was what Bonzo was waiting for, the confession that he was in power. For other boys it might have beenenough that Ender had submitted; for Bonzo, it was only a sign that his victory was sure. He swung his leg as ifto kick, but changed it to a leap at the last moment. Ender noticed the shifting weight and stooped lower, so thatBonzo would be more off-balance when he tried to grab Ender and throw him.Bonzo's tight, hard ribs came against Under's face, and his hands slapped against his back, trying to grip him.But Ender twisted, and Bonzo's hands slipped. In an instant Ender was completely turned, yet still inside Bonzo'sgrasp. The classic move at this moment would be to bring up his heel into Bonzo's crotch, but for that move to beeffective required too much accuracy, and Bonzo expected it. He was already rising onto his toes, thrusting hiships backward to keep Ender from reaching his groin. Without seeing him, Ender knew it would bring his facecloser, almost in Ender's hair; so instead of kicking he lunged upward off the floor, with the powerful lunge ofthe soldier bounding from the wall, and jammed his head into Bonzo's face.Ender whirled in time to see Bonzo stagger backward, his nose bleeding, gasping from surprise and pain. Enderknew that at this moment he might be able to walk out of the room and end the battle. The way he had escapedfrom the battleroom after drawing blood. But the battle would only be fought again. Again and again until thewill to fight was finished. The only way to end things completely was to hurt Bonzo enough that his fear wasstronger than his hate.So Ender leaned back against the wall behind him, then jumped up and pushed off with his arms. His feetlanded in Bonzo's belly and chest. Ender spun in the air and landed on his toes and hands; he flipped over,scooted under Bonzo, and this time when he kicked upward into Bonzo's crotch, he connected, hard and sure.Bonzo did not cry out in pain. He did not react at all, except that his body rose a little in the air. It was as ifEnder had kicked a piece of furniture. Bonzo collapsed, fell to the side, and sprawled directly under the spray ofstreaming water from a shower. He made no movement whatever to escape the murderous heat.第 221 页 共 340 页http://www.en8848.com.cn/ 原 版 英 语 阅 读 网
