Chapter 621: The glimmer of life is very slim
Barren mountains and mountains, barren mountains, as far as the eye can see, not a single inch of grass grows; wild mountains, strange rocks are numerous, and there is no life.
The cold wind is steep, the smoke and rain are misty, and the rain in the early spring in the north is still cold to the bone. Under a small hill in the vast mountains, three soaking wet teenagers were trudging step by step.
There were stones everywhere, there was no life, no plants, no animals, bare mountains, except for stones and stones. Now there are these three more tired teenagers.
It has been twenty days since they ran from the south to the north, thousands of kilometers away from home, and now they are lost in this bare mountain range, and their lives are almost exhausted.
"I've been walking for five days, I haven't eaten or drunk, when will I find the railway? ”
Among the three, Jin Ming, the youngest, said weakly. With that, he raised his arm and took a few sips of water vapor on his soaked clothes to quench his thirst. Since coming to the upper mountain, it has been raining lightly for several days, which solved their problem of drinking water.
"There was no goal, no direction, over hill after hill, endlessly. If it were the mountains in our south, there would be trees and grass, and we could eat a few bites. I really want to bite this stone, I really want to bite a few bites, and my eyes are green with hunger. ”
Wang Yan complained as he walked into a stone groove and licked the water directly. Jin Ming and Xiao Yao also walked over together, licking one bite at a time. This tastes much better than sucking water on clothes. They don't have a tool to hold water, and they drink wherever they go.
"There's a big rock in front of you, it's relatively flat, let's go there and rest." ”
Xiao Yao looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and said helplessly.
The three of them swayed together in front of the big stone, and walked on the damp stone surface with their clothes, although it looked relatively smooth from a distance, but when they walked to the front, the stone surface was still potholed.
This is also a good position compared to the extremely uneven stone face, so that they can lie down comfortably and soothe their extremely tired body and mind.
The light rain was still falling, and the cold had numbed them. For a few days, they didn't know what it was like.
"Alas...... If I die, my family will be ruined. I'm the only one in my family. Xiao Yao, Wang Yan, I hurt you both. ”
Jin Ming lay down on his back, letting the rain fall on his face. After regaining some strength, he wiped the rain from his face and blamed himself sadly.
"What do you say, Xiao Yao and I have never blamed you. If you don't believe me, ask him. However, I'm not the same as you, anyway, I'm dead, and I still have a brother at home, and my family won't be extinct. It's just a pity that I'm still a boy, damn it. ”
Wang Yan now regrets it in his heart, until now, he and his current girlfriend and Jin Qiaoer are very simple, and they have not taken a step beyond Lei Chi, Wang Yan angrily slapped the stone face under him, and he was very unwilling.
"Don't say anything, we are all brothers in distress, and if we have the strength to say that those are irrelevant, it is better to stay and climb the mountain. ”
Xiao Yao reclined on the stone face, and he looked around. From a distance, it was found that there were high-voltage line piles in front. He wasn't sure if it was, so he asked:
"Do you see a high-voltage line pile over there?"
"Yes and what, no matter what, I can't eat it anyway, even if it's grass, I'll eat it, let's just say yesterday, I finally found a small tree, and ran over with a fart, not to mention the leaves, even the bark has been stripped off, and I don't know who is so lacking in virtue, how much leave us some." ”
Jin Ming said lazily, without raising his head.
"Xiao Yao, you don't think about stealing high-voltage wires, do you? Besides, even if we steal it, there is nowhere to sell it, and we either want money to spend now, or we have money, and we have nowhere to go, we want to find food. ”
Seeing that Xiao Yao ignored him, he continued:
"If we don't eat for two more days, we'll all starve to death, and that's what the book says, if you don't eat or drink, you can only live for seven days at most. ”
"Don't think about food, who isn't hungry. I was thinking, the high-voltage line must lead to a place where there are people, and now the railway can't be found, and we have lost our goal and direction, so let's go along the high-voltage line. If we can live to go where there are people, we will not starve to death. Let's go, let's go, go early and arrive early, I don't want to die so early. ”
"If I can really get out, I'll have to come back and settle accounts with the little soldier guarding the tunnel. ”
Wang Yan said hatefully, he thought that it was better to be crushed to death by a train in the tunnel than to starve for a few days on this mountain.
"Let's go, don't complain, if we can't get out, there will be three more bones on this mountain in the future, and we don't have to worry about wild beasts coming to eat our corpses. ”
Jin Ming sighed deeply, got up and dragged Wang Yan, and walked towards the hazy hope in the distance together.
"What the hell, such a big mountain, nothing grows. According to the book, there should be monsters in the barren mountains and mountains. Even if it's eaten by a monster, it's better than the Zombie Wilderness. Alas....... ”
As the saying goes: look at the mountain close, run the dead horse. It rained for several days, with no blue sky and no sunlight shining through the clouds, and the only time that could tell the difference was day and night. By the time they approached the high-voltage line piles, it was already getting dark.
Xiao Yao looked at both ends of the high-voltage line, and he didn't know which direction to go.
"Xiao Yao, where are we going?"
Wang Yan also looked left and right, unable to make up his mind, and Jin Ming also looked at Xiao Yao.
"Do we have any other options in either direction?"
"Let's stay away from it first, this hellish weather, in case of thunder, it's not fun. It is said that when thunder strikes, under the high-voltage line, a thunderball is generated, and it also follows the air flow generated by the movement of the person, and it explodes when it encounters the human body. ”
Xiao Yao looked at the high-voltage line, turned around and walked to the right front.
"It's so wicked, then it's not a heat tracking*, it's a moving target. ”
Jin understood Wang Yan's glance, he saw that the sky was getting dark, and his heart became worried again. Every night, he was a little nervous, maybe he was scared of the cold.
"It's going to be dark again, and I'm really guilty at night, and I don't dare to walk, it's all big rocks, and I can't see under my feet, and if I break my feet, I'll die." If you don't go, you don't have a place to sleep in shelter from the wind and rain. It's not too cold to walk during the day, but it's really cold at night, and sometimes I feel like I'm about to freeze to death. ”
"If it's too cold at night, it's still the same as before, we hold hands together, step by step, as long as the feet don't leave the ground, and then settle down, it's fine. Whether we can get out of here or not depends on tomorrow. ”
Xiao Yao's eyes showed a firm gaze, at this time, he couldn't be discouraged, as long as he could get out of this mountain, there was hope of living.
Following the high-voltage line, they walked for a long time the next day, and finally stopped.
What appeared in front of them was a high cliff, and at a glance, although it was not very deep, it was still forty or fifty meters.
The three of them lay on the edge of the cliff and saw the railroad below the cliff. The pair of railroad tracks, like a pair of chopsticks, lay quietly parallel to the cliff. Xiao Yao looked around, unless he walked back, there was nowhere to go.
"If I had known this, it would have been better to lie down on that big rock and wait to die, so as to save another day or two of running. ”
"What a pit man, I can't get down here, I can't jump into the water and drink enough water to die. Alas, it seems that we can only be starved to death. ”
Wang Yan wanted to drink enough water because the railway under the cliff passed by, and it was a pool of water. A belt pile with a high-voltage pole pulled diagonally, far across the railway, fixed on a stone pier in the middle of a large piece of water in the mountain stream.
There is a desperate situation in front of him, and he will die if he turns back, not with a strong desire to survive, and the three people who haven't eaten a little food for five or six days may have no strength to climb the mountain. At this time, Wang Yan and Jin Ming were really desperate.
"Don't despair, we still have a chance to live. ”
"I know that your glimmer of life is to jump from this, and whoever doesn't fall to his death can live. If you want to jump, I won't jump to death, even if I starve to death, at least I will be a whole corpse, I don't want to be reincarnated as a disabled person in the next life. ”
Wang Yan first denied Xiao Yao's vitality, and Jin Ming was no longer shrewd, he looked at Xiao Yao stupidly and asked:
"Are you really going to jump from here? It's so high, I'm dizzy when I look at it, there's a railroad down there, and I'm going to die if I jump. I don't jump either, so I don't have to be torn beyond recognition. ”
"It seems that you two know that if you jump, you will die, and I am not a fool, the silver lining I am talking about is the stake with the line, we can slide down it, as long as we don't fall on the shore of the railroad tracks, fall into the water, it's fine. ”
Although this line of life is very slim, Xiao Yao is not sure, but now he feels that there is only this way to go. He told the two of them his idea, and Wang Yan immediately denied it.
"No, even if you don't fall on the railroad tracks, you will die if you hit the stone pier below. How can it be so good for half a section of water?"
"We also have to calculate the potential energy, it's not like we fall vertically as soon as we let go, there must be a buffer distance. ”
Jin Ming didn't directly object, but he talked about the substance.
"This requires you two to cooperate with me on the mountain, and when I slip to the water's edge, you will tell me to let go. It's too early to shout, it's death to fall on the rails, it's too late to shout, it's also death to hit the stone pier, my life will be handed over to the two of you, and when I get below, I'll see more accurately for the two of you. ”
"That's not good, it's too dangerous, we're looking at the back, not from the side. If you want to go down, I'll go down first, if I fall to my death, don't take Jin Ming with you. ”
Wang Yan, who was once resolutely reluctant to jump, wanted to go down first at this time. He didn't want to watch Xiao Yao fall to his death, and he and Jin Ming would be at a loss.
"Don't argue, although it is dangerous to be the first to go down, it is also beneficial, and you can be the first to drink water. ”
Xiao Yao snorted, relieving the tense and suffocating atmosphere. He led the way to the high-voltage wire post on the edge of the cliff, taking off his coat as he went.
"I hope there are no joints on this cable-stayed rope, otherwise it will be troublesome. ”
"It's, it's groggy. You can see that there is no joint at close range, and you can't see clearly at a distance. Be careful, if you fall to your death, I will definitely jump down with my golden son and die with you. ”
Knowing that Xiao Yao would not give up going first, Wang Yan and Jin Ming no longer rushed to come, but when Xiao Yao climbed to the high-voltage line pile, Wang Yan said his thoughts.
