Verse 59: A hundred miles, half ninety
There were a total of 100 pairs of contestants, divided into 25 groups, and by the time of the 17th group, most of the competition had passed.
Looking at the previous posture, many tourists feel that it is impossible for anyone to win the million-dollar prize. There have been so many games in the front, and participants of all kinds of strength have appeared. There are professionals from rock climbing clubs, fitness experts who love rock climbing, and folk experts.
Although they are much stronger than the average person, no one can climb to a height of twenty meters.
Twenty meters is not high for a house or a mountain, but it is very high for rock climbing, which is equivalent to the height of an ordinary house with six or seven floors.
The average person who climbs to the sixth or seventh floor will feel out of breath, not to mention the vertical ascent exercise such as rock climbing, which undoubtedly consumes much more physical strength than ordinary staircase climbing. Even if the route is easy to walk, ordinary people don't have that physical strength.
And when climbing, there is no easy way to walk, and it is naturally more difficult to climb. Unless you are a professional athlete, it is difficult for the average person to climb to a height of 10 meters. And now it's a couple who are climbing up together, and the difficulty has increased a lot.
More than 90 percent of the people can only wander below five meters, and less than 10 pairs of people over eight meters.
But when it came to the seventeenth group, a particularly powerful couple suddenly appeared. The couple looked to be only in their twenties, European and American, but the muscles on their bodies were very eye-catching.
Not to mention the man's muscles, the woman also has a conspicuous muscle. This is not a female man, but a female tyrannosaurus!
As soon as the two got started, the audience suddenly burst into cheers. Although the two were tied together, their climbing movements were not affected by the confrontation at all, as if they were both climbing alone.
Ten seconds passed, and they rose three meters; Twenty seconds passed, and six meters were raised; Thirty seconds passed, and eight meters were raised; A minute passed, and thirteen meters were raised. In just one minute, they had risen thirteen meters, only seven meters from the top.
Seeing this amazing result, the audience immediately burst into applause, and many people felt that the million-dollar grand prize was about to be won by the couple.
The two of them took a slight break as they climbed to a height of thirteen meters, and then continued to climb. Although the movement was much slower than at the beginning, they still rose quickly, and the key was that their feet were very steady, and there was no sign of panic and weakness at all.
As the clock ticked by, the atmosphere became slightly tense. Another twenty seconds passed, and the two of them rose three meters. Although it is half the speed compared to the beginning, but it is only four meters from the top, so don't use tiles at this time, just make sure to stand firmly on the top for two minutes, then they are the winners.
Another twenty seconds passed, and the two of them rose two meters. There are still twenty seconds to go, and there are only the last two meters left from above.
The hearts of all the tourists at the scene are in their throats, and as long as they work harder, their hands can touch the top. Victory is at hand, and the mega million prize is about to be settled.
Having reached this height, the couple looked at each other and smiled, with indescribable joy in their eyes. They are very professional climbers, not far behind professional athletes. Like the people at the climbing club before them, they just wanted to casually experience the climbing area on the Oasis of the Seas.
It's just that I'm lucky to have encountered this kind of good thing. Twenty meters is challenging for them, but it is not so high that it feels unattainable.
The two nodded to each other, cheering each other on. If they climb two more steps, their hands will be able to climb to the top, which is a sign that they have succeeded.
In order not to let the woman fall, the man first chose a better position to stand, and then let the female partner go up first. As long as the female companion takes another step up and then steadies there, he can climb up alone and pull the female companion up again.
In the final stage, try to climb as little as you can if you can climb one step less, and it is always inevitable to step on the slopes, even if you are careful. One less step will reduce the chance of slipping by half. The two of them have reached this position, and victory is already in their pocket, so it is natural to take the last two steps in the safest way.
I saw that the woman took the lead in selling a kick, and landed firmly on a raised stone above the man's knee, and the woman's crotch was suddenly stretched very long, like a horse. However, this is a small thing for them, rock climbing requires a lot of physical toughness, and a horse is just a normal thing.
After the woman's foot stood firm, she was pulled by the man's hand and pulled hard, and the man pulled her over, and the other foot stepped firmly to the foothold that had been determined.
It's just that when she stepped on the stone, she suddenly felt that something was wrong with her foothold. I can't tell you what it feels like, just like when I usually walk down the stairs, I can walk normally with my eyes squinted, because my body's nerves have measured the distance for familiar footsteps, and I don't feel that I have to look at the road to walk.
But suddenly, the depth of the stairs under your feet has become a little deeper, and it is slightly different from the distance you have been used to, which is likely to lead to the foot being broken, because it is different from the pre-intended distance.
At this moment, this is the feeling that the woman experienced. Although the stone under her feet had not moved, she felt that the stone seemed to turn slightly, and it seemed to have not turned, and it was slightly different from the place she had envisioned to land.
It felt very slight, but for her current body, this very slight change was a breeze that upset her body's balance.
After the woman stood up, because her body balance had not been adjusted, she shook slightly. The man also saw her problem, and immediately said nervously, "Aina, does it matter?" ”
The woman listened to him attentively, she only felt that her body balance was decreasing, and she was trying to control her body to prevent her from falling. It's just that the stake, which has lost its center of gravity and is tilted, how can it not fall?
Although it was slow at first, once the center of gravity has tilted, it is not easy to correct it. Even if they were human beings and not stakes, their physical strength had been exhausted, and their hands and feet were already severely weak.
Seeing that she kept leaning, the woman couldn't do anything. The man also quickly stretched out a hand to forcibly pull the woman back to the rock wall, but his strength was far less than usual, and in the end he could only watch the woman slowly fall backwards, watching the failure.
It's a long story, but it's only a matter of seconds.
As for the consequences, there is naturally a thick sigh. It's just a little bit off, it's just a little bit off. As long as the woman is on her feet, she doesn't have to move, and then the man climbs up alone, and they win.
But it was this last step that made the two miss out on the million-dollar prize.
