Chapter 177: Preparing for the Rope Drop
Wu Denghai said that this was a bit of a hurry, and I said that there should be no delay in this matter, and if there is something terrible hidden there, we can also discover it as soon as possible, and even directly destroy these things. In addition, we may be able to find out some of the secrets of the Blue Bird Company.
An hour later, our group of people set off with their weapons and equipment, before leaving, Chen Mengyu suggested that I bring the sentry, I thought for a while that the sentry was not bad, so I agreed, and asked Yueling to tell the others, we really may not be able to come back tonight, in case she can't come back, tell her to pay more attention to Liu Yong and Niu Zhuang, in case they want to make a mistake, just ask He Yunsong to jump on them with a gun.
I still have the equipment of the Kaishan knife with a short-barreled earthen gun, Amy is a fruit knife and a Beretta pistol, Lin Hai is a longbow with an automatic rifle, Hu Ziming is a giant axe and an automatic rifle left by Duan Long in the small building before, and as for Wu Denghai, I also let him take a short-handled axe.
In addition, we had found a number of flashlights from the corpses of the Salvation Army, and I told them to have one in their hands in case they needed it.
Lin Hai also suggested that I had better bring all the ropes and chains in the camp, after all, we were going to the vicinity of the Grand Canyon, maybe we would use these ropes for rock climbing and landing operations at that time, I immediately asked Chen Mengyu and them to quickly pack all the ropes and put them in two hemp bags.
At first, I wanted to leave one of them in the camp for easy contact, but Amy thought that when we were out on the road, we might be separated for a short time, and it would be better for us to keep the two walkie-talkies on our own. I thought about it and agreed.
After returning to the Broken Rock area in the northern part of the Grand Canyon, I found that everything was the same on the surface, and there were no corpses here, and it seemed that the place where the Salvation Army and the "pirates" had exchanged fire had not affected here.
I had already thought about it when I was on the road, and since there was no building visible in this area, it meant that there was only one situation, and that was that the building was underground......
We've seen a few small facilities built underground by Bluebird before, so the possibility is huge.
But how to find this place is a big problem, and the task of solving this problem has to be entrusted to Wu Denghai.
I asked Wu Denghai if he had any impressions of things near the Grand Canyon when he worked for the Blue Jays on this island before, such as whether the Blue Jays had done some special things here, Wu Denghai frowned and thought for a while, and then said that he remembered that someone had asked them to go to the bottom of the Grand Canyon to clean up, but it was later canceled.
I immediately became interested: "What's going on?"
Wu Denghai said that the order at that time was very vague, and he was not the person who received the order directly, but was conveyed to him by another person for the second time, as if it said that something had fallen at the bottom of the canyon and that he would go down to clean up and collect it.
A few of us quickly ran to the edge of the Grand Canyon and looked down......
The depth of this Grand Canyon is about one or two hundred meters, although it is a drop in the bucket compared to the depth of five or six thousand meters of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, the deepest canyon in the world, but it is undoubtedly a very exaggerated height for us now, which is why we have passed by this side several times before, but have never gone down.
"Then when you received the order before, didn't anyone mention how to go down?" Lin Hai asked suspiciously.
"It looks like helicopters are going to take us down. Wu Denghai said.
......
Grass.
I stood at the top of this canyon and looked at the canyon walls on both sides, and found that almost all of them were vertical cliffs infinitely close to 90 degrees as far as the eye could see, and it was impossible for anyone else to climb down the cliff unless it was a spider-man or a moon spirit.
So...... The ropes and chains that Lin Hai had suggested I had brought with me would be useful, and yes, we had to use the ropes to descend.
I began to tell them to take out all the ropes and chains of the two sacks, and they were cut one by one, and we began to connect them end to end.
After an hour or so, we made a very long "lifting lock" about 150 meters long, but even then, I was not sure that the rope would be able to descend to the bottom of the canyon, but it was the longest distance we could do so far, and I thought I could try it first, and if I couldn't get down to the bottom, it would be a big deal to pull people up.
Once that was settled, I decided to go down and explore the way myself.
We first looked along the rim of the canyon for some distance and finally found a relatively shallow spot from which I decided to rappel.
Soon Amy wrapped the end of the rope around my waist and told me that during the rappelling process, I must remember to hold on to the rope with my hands, and at the same time keep my feet close to the rock wall to ensure that my body is balanced, otherwise if my body sways from side to side in the air, it is likely that the rope will break, and I will never recover.
Grass......
Amy's words might as well not be said, which made me nervous all of a sudden.
But instead of showing it on my face, I pretended to be calm and walked to the edge of the canyon.
Because except for me...... There doesn't seem to be a better fit.
I used to be a bit afraid of heights, for example, even if I stood on the second floor and cleaned the glass, I would feel that my legs were weak, not to mention now, I looked down and felt that my legs were missing at all......
Fortunately, I glanced at the ground behind me in time, so I was saved from the embarrassment of collapsing directly to the ground.
Then I was half-on my knees and began to move backwards a little towards the edge of the canyon.
"Oh my God, you guys have to get the rope right!" I said.
"Don't worry, I won't let go even if I wear my palms out. Lin Hai made an OK gesture at me.
That's when Amy stepped forward and pinned a walkie-talkie to my waist, patted me on the shoulder, and told me to get ready to start.
I glanced at Wu Denghai with some anxiety and said, "Hey, bald, Lao Tzu has saved you several times before, don't be fucking ungrateful." ”
Wu Denghai touched his Mediterranean head melon seeds, and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Chen, don't worry, first of all, I don't have any intention of harming you at all, and secondly, even if I have, do I dare?"
As he spoke, he also pointed to Lin Hai and the gun in their hands.
I nodded and took a deep breath, and it was at this time that Amy suddenly stopped me: "Xiao Chen, I think it's better for me to come." ”
"You come? No, no. I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "I can't let you take this risk." ”
But just as I waved my hand, Amy had already untied the rope from my waist: "I used to learn abseiling in the outdoor club, although you have more strength than me, but this climbing and abseiling has nothing to do with the strength of the strength, the key is to depend on the skill, you must be dangerous to go down like this." ”
Then Amy was seen wrapping the rope around her waist with great skill, and then strode to the edge of the canyon.
There was not the slightest hint of fear on Amy's face.
"Xiao Chen, why don't you let Amy go, I think she still has a little experience......" Lin Hai also said.
I grabbed a piece of rope in my hand and nodded, and handed the walkie-talkie to Amy: "Be careful when you go down, and use the walkie-talkie to contact us at any time if you have a situation!"
Amy said "um" and said, "I'll keep the walkie-talkie on, I'll let you loosen the rope later, you can loosen it, let you tighten the rope, you have to tighten it immediately, don't have delays and hesitations." ”
A few of us nodded hurriedly.
Then Amy began to climb backwards and little by little towards the canyon wall.
Lin Hai, Hu Ziming, and Wu Denghai and I lined up in a row, each grabbed a piece of rope, and began to cooperate with Amy little by little.
