Chapter Seventy-Five: The Black Tide
I said in my heart that this is both a fairy and a Buddha, a little mysterious, and a little panicked. I simply didn't think much about it.
I put aside these distractions and asked the others, what does that mean, is the next step to retreat or to chase?
Yaksha and Lao Ba were the first to perform, and they had the same attitude, went down the cliff, and caught and killed the living Buddha.
Beard didn't rush to show it, he stared at me. It's like saying, how I decide, how he cooperates.
I asked Yaksha and Lao Ba, "Can you carry it physically?"
Lao Pa touched his chest and replied, "I can't die!" and Yaksha added, "Even if you don't die, it's not easy to kill the Buddha now, it's up to you to see who can survive to the end." ”
I pondered it again, and finally nodded along with the beard.
It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and this is also suitable for climbing cliffs. We all leaned over to the edge of the cliff and looked down.
We don't have any protections right now, and to be honest, I'm not confident I'll go on unscathed.
I looked around again, and finally focused on the two chains. The two chains were originally carried up to the cliff, and then the five of us were carried by them to the cliff quickly.
The ends of both chains poked into the ground of the platform. I guess there must be some mechanism underground, but the problem is, we don't know how to open and use it.
I thought of a stupid trick and said to the others, "Let's do it together, let's use our hands to carry the chains to the cliff, and then with them, let's go down the mountain." ”
They unanimously agreed. And we're going to act in groups.
I was in a group with Beard, Yaksha and Lao Ba in a group.
My beard and I fiddled with the chains as I looked down the cliff.
There were originally four corpses lying underneath, all of which belonged to mercenaries. They died unexpectedly, it was already terrible, and at this moment, their bodies were all mutilated.
In particular, there was one body, the whole stomach was almost gone, and from a distance, I could see the ribs in his chest and abdomen.
I guess the reason why these four corpses are like this is that they were eaten by rats, that is, the black tide, which attacked us, but in the end we escaped by chaining, and they descended the cliff on their own and caused the four corpses.
Don't talk about me, everyone else doesn't have a taste in their hearts, and Yaksha mutters a few words from time to time, and his eyes are red.
In contrast, Yaksha and I were a little more efficient, after all, Yaksha didn't have thumbs in both hands and wasn't very flexible.
Beard and I were busy again, and we dragged the chain and saw that we were about to go halfway up the mountain.
At this time, we both had a little difficulty pulling the chains, and when we thought about it, a large section of the chains was hanging on the cliff, and it was very heavy.
Both my beard and I had to hunch back slightly to prevent us from falling off balance.
The beard also encouraged me, which means that it would be good to hold on a little longer, and when we were completely off the cliff, it would be easy to get a big chunk.
But there was a problem that we didn't expect, and it happened.
Suddenly, there was movement among the small trees and bushes around the cliff below, and dark shadows appeared from among them, and they quickly gathered under the cliff.
I couldn't see it clearly, but I guessed that these shadows were rats.
When they come together, it's visually impactful, and it makes my scalp tingle.
The rats had been running for the four corpses, but they pounced on the corpses and gnawed wildly. But they were a little dissatisfied, and in the end they all focused on the cliffs.
A few of the largest rats with their heads scrambled to climb the cliff first.
The black tide appeared from the cliff again, and this time, they were overflowing from the bottom up.
We're not stupid enough to guess the intentions of these rats. The beard scolded his mother, and he ran to the edge of the other cliffs to take a look.
He told us, "There are enemies on all sides, and there are rats down there." ”
I'm a little dumbfounded, and it's okay to think about it, not only are we trapped here now, but we will also face the end of being surrounded.
I think of the five heroes of Langya Mountain again, and it just so happens that we are five people now.
I said in my heart that the five heroes were anti-Japanese heroes, and they finally jumped off the cliff, which was also sacrificed for the country. What are the five of us? Jumping off a cliff because of a rat siege? This kind of death is enough to be a nest.
But we were not in a hurry, but seized the time and got together to discuss.
The meaning of the beard, we put down the chain as quickly as possible, and then follow the chain, quickly slide down, whether we can survive or not, it all depends on luck.
Lao Ba disagreed, saying that he had a better trick.
Lao Ba found the remote control that controlled the thick steel cable again.
I pressed the red button before, and the thick steel cable between the lotus platform and the forest fell completely. This time, Lao Ba activated the green button.
We heard another movement in the lotus platform, and the winch was working again.
Thick steel cables reappeared, and a slide was again built between the cliffs and the trees.
Lao Ba pointed to the thick steel cable and looked at the situation on the cliff again.
The rats crawled very fast, and in a few moments, they had crawled a little more than half the way.
Lao Ba asked us not to delay, so we escaped with the thick steel cable.
Me, Beard, and Yaksha all had serious expressions. But Yaksha was the first to calm down, and he thought about Gao Teng in his heart.
He tore a few strips of cloth from his clothes. He asked us to help and tied Gao Teng to his back.
He carried Gao Teng on his back and leaned to the side of the lotus platform first. At this time, he still had those two iron hooks hanging on the wrists of his hands.
He simply used the iron hook as a hook, and in this way, he took Gao Teng and sat up the "death slide" with a sneer.
We watched them drift away, and I noticed that cremation was taking place from time to time where the iron hook and the rough steel cable met.
I was thinking, I took off my shirt, twisted it into a bundle, and hung it on a thick steel cable, and I dragged it, could I slide it down smoothly?
But I soon rejected the idea altogether. I thought to myself that I was going to do this, because there was so much friction on the thick steel cable, and if I didn't slip halfway, my clothes would have to be ruined. I'm going to fall into the abyss because of that.
At this time, the beard was also thinking about recruiting. He was about to scratch his ears and cheeks.
Lao Ba was calmer than both of us, especially after seeing the beard's move, Lao Ba snorted and said don't worry.
When we both looked at him, he pulled his belt out.
I knew that Lao Ba was wearing two trouser belts. At this moment, Lao Ba also handed me one of the trouser belts.
I looked at my trouser belt and was confused.
Lao Ba made a gesture, and he also intended to tell me that he would slide down with his trouser belt in a while.
The beard snorted, what about joking?
That's what I do.
But Lao Ba didn't explain much, he carried a trouser belt by himself and walked to the vicinity of Lotus Terrace.
He first put the trouser belt on the thick steel cable, and then he deliberately twisted the ends of the trouser belt twice in the palms of both hands. This will allow him to grasp more steadily.
Lao Ba turned his head and shouted to the two of us, "See you later!"
He lunged out again.
