Chapter 70: The Line Between Life and Death 2 (II)

"Don't ...... I...... "Xia Ruobing was already out of breath, her eyes were squinted by sweat, her vision was getting blurred under the double blow of sweat and exertion, and her feet seemed to be unstable everywhere.......

"5, 4, 3, 2......" Wang Xingguo began to count down, Xia Ruobing wanted to cry, she knew that Wang Xingguo did what he said, he had already lost himself once in that narrow passage, and if he threw it again, he would really die.

"Wang Xingguo! I hate you! Xia Ruobing shouted with a crying voice, she felt that the original taut rope was loosened, her heart trembled, and finally stretched out her hand towards the next fixed point.

People's potential is forced out, seeing Xia Ruobing stretching out his hand, Wang Xingguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and took the rope in his hand, Xia Ruobing felt the rope tighten again, and his heart was a little more stable at the moment.

Xia Ruobing's physical strength had reached its limit, and she had wasted too much time on the road ahead. She felt that every time she reached out, her arms seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, her thighs and arms spasmed uncontrollably, and her calves were tense and tight, and she felt cramps at any time.

"The one in front! Xia Ruobing...... Be careful...... "Wang Xingguo saw that Xia Ruobing chose a stone close to him to climb, and quickly reminded her that the stone was loose, but Xia Ruobing's spirit was already a little trance at this time, and he didn't hear it, so he still stretched out his hand, Wang Xingguo exclaimed, his body tensed all of a sudden, and his feet stepped on the stone, ready to accept the fall!

Xia Ruobing felt that something was wrong when she climbed the stone with her hands, but when she reacted, her body sank, she screamed "ah", and fell down, trying to catch something with her hands, but in vain.

With a "bang", Xia Ruobing felt that the seat belt was straining at the root of her thigh, and the taut rope was hot on Xia Ruobing's face, but at this time, she didn't care about the pain, and grabbed the rope with both hands.

The main lock of the relay shook suddenly, giving Wang Xingguo some of the impact force, but even so, the clothes on his shoulders were also worn out by the rope, and the friction of the rope also grinded out blood marks on his shoulders, which hurt him so much that he bared his teeth! At this time, Xia Ruobing's fall distance was 8 meters, exceeding his expectations, he relied on his body to carry the power of this fall, even if he was mentally prepared, he was still pulled forward by the strong impact, his body flipped over, and the foot supporting the stone also slipped away, fortunately, he was quick to see and move, pulling the rope with one hand, and pulling the rope with the other hand.

Wang Xingguo...... Wang Xingguo ...... "Xia Ruobing hung on the rope and couldn't touch the world or the ground, and he was so frightened that his soul flew away.

"I didn't ...... Dead ......" Wang Xingguo finally controlled the situation, but now his posture was very awkward, he was almost pulled into a big zigzag, and the person also lost his balance and lay on his side on the slope.

"I ...... I...... What to do?! Xia Ruobing looked at her feet, she couldn't see anything, the stone that fell just now smashed at the bottom of the cave, the sound was very terrifying in her ears, she wanted to climb up quickly, and her body writhed involuntarily.

"Don't move...... Wang Xingguo tried hard to maintain the situation, but now he had to adjust his posture, and now in this position Wang Xingguo had no way to pull Xia Ruobing back, he tried to reverse his body, trying to adjust the rope.

The main lock, which could have withstood a 5-meter fall, also came to join in the excitement at this time, Xia Ruobing heard a "boom" again, and the main lock loosened a little.

This sound made Xia Ruobing even more frightened, and she shouted: "Wang Xingguo, the main lock...... The main lock ...... "Xia Ruobing's voice did not fall, the main lock couldn't bear so much force, and slid down the stone crack......

He gritted his teeth and snapped out a few words from between his teeth: "Don't move!" ”

Xia Ruobing's struggle brought a lot of trouble to Wang Xingguo's adjustment of posture, and the posture that had just been adjusted halfway was destroyed again, and he had to start from scratch.

But at this time, where could Xia Ruobing still hear Wang Xingguo's words, if the main lock fell off, even the gods would not be able to save him, she grabbed the rope in a panic and tried to climb up, the 6 mm rope was completely unsuitable for climbing the rope, Xia Ruobing's hand had no strength at this time, except for causing the rope to shake, there was no effect.

The rope was shaken by Xia Ruobing, sliding along the edge of the stone, Xia Ruobing was horrified to see that under the friction of the stone, there was a place where the rope skin had been worn out, revealing the white rope core.

"Wang Xingguo, grind the rope! Grind the rope! Xia Ruobing shouted, although she was not good at rock climbing, she knew what it meant to grind the rope! A 6 mm rope can resist a tensile force of 1,500 kg, but once the core is worn to a certain point, those fine cores will break one after another like dominoes.

"Don't move!" Wang Xingguo scolded, several adjustments to his posture were destroyed by Xia Ruobing's turmoil, he didn't have so much time to grind slowly, and no one could save Xia Ruobing if the rope core was worn through.

Wang Xingguo cursed in his heart, how could everything be together, and he turned over very hard, he had to turn it over, otherwise everything would be over.

"What to do? What to do? Xia Ruobing's feet were suspended in the air, and he couldn't climb up 8 meters away from the nearest platform above, and the fear of death tightly pinched Xia Ruobing's heart.

"Don't move! Don't move, I'll pull you up! Wang Xingguo finally adjusted his posture, at this time he turned his body and knelt on the ground desperately, his whole body was soaked with sweat, he wiped the sweat on his face fiercely, and took steps on the ramp.

Because of the friction of the main lock and the rope stuck on the rock, Wang Xingguo was not just pulling 50 kilograms of Xia Ruobing at this time, he had to pull Xia Ruobing at least twice to three times the weight, and he also had to climb the slope......

Xia Ruobing was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, her eyes stared at the worn rope core, she seemed to be able to hear the sound of the rope core breaking, and suddenly felt that her body was shocked, and she rubbed it up for a while, and then it shook again, and then rubbed it again.

"Wang Xingguo......" Xia Ruobing's heart was hot.

"Don't talk!" Wang Xingguo used all his strength to pull forward step by step, leaning forward, like a slender man pulling fiber by the Yangtze River! He clutched the rope tightly with one hand, and picked at the crack in the rock wall with the other, using both hands and feet, and the 6 mm rope almost got into the flesh of his shoulder, and the pain made his eyes shiver, and he was not in the mood to say a word to anyone at this time......

"Bang ......" sounded again, the main lock couldn't withstand such a big force, and it slid down for another section, turning Wang Xingguo's efforts just now into naught! Xia Ruobing exclaimed, her body sank down, and when she looked up again, the rope core was worn out again.

Wang Xingguo...... You let it go...... "Xia Ruobing cried, now whether the main lock is stretched off or the rope is worn, her life is hanging by a thread, and she may fall into the abyss at any time, she doesn't want to drag Wang Xingguo down."......

"Shut up!" Wang Xingguo scolded fiercely, kicked hard under his feet, and pulled Xia Ruobing up again.

Xia Ruobing had no choice but to hold the rope with both hands and choked in a low voice, Wang Xingguo gasped and moved towards the ramp inch by inch......

"We can live without dying...... If we don't die, we can live......" Wang Xingguo muttered this sentence in his heart to cheer himself up, desperately squeezing the strength in his muscles, he felt that his eyes were full of stars, but he knew that he must not give up.

Fortunately, the main lock did not give them any more trouble, the main lock that was washed down had been deformed and stuck in the crack of the stone, even if it was prying it with a crowbar, it would not move a single bit, and the most worn part also crossed the sharp edge of the stone, Xia Ruobing saw that every inch up, the rope skin seemed to be scraped by a sharp blade, and it drooped longer and longer.

The 8-meter distance that can usually be walked in a few steps is like an insurmountable gap for Wang Xingguo at this time, the pain in his shoulders has been numb, his knees have been worn out, his fingers have stiffened because he has to pick the stone cracks, his thighs can't stop spasming, his body is steaming sweat, his face is almost purple, and he secretly shouted in his heart: "I won't die if I don't die, and I won't let her die......"

Xia Ruobing saw that she was getting closer and closer to the relay point, the big stone was absolutely stable, as long as she got there, the remaining distance would be very smooth, at this time she didn't cry anymore, wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and was very grateful to Wang Xingguo in her heart.

"It's not ...... 20 cm ......" Wang Xingguo rubbed forward with all his strength, and finally heard Xia Ruobing's excited voice: "I caught it...... I caught ......"

The distance of 8 meters squeezed out the last trace of strength in Wang Xingguo's body, he couldn't even say anything when he heard the sound of Xia Ruobing climbing onto the platform, he couldn't move when he lay on the ground, Xia Ruobing saw that the main lock had been deformed and couldn't be removed, so she could only discard it, she took out the rope from the main lock, rested for a while, and the next part climbed over easily, she climbed onto the platform of the passage, and saw Wang Xingguo lying motionless on the ramp, his headlamp was not turned off, and he shone straight on the top of the cave, shouting: "Wang Xingguo...... Wang Xingguo ......"

Wang Xingguo didn't reply, he was speechless at this time, Xia Ruobing hurriedly ran over, knelt beside Wang Xingguo, and by the light of the headlamp, he saw that Wang Xingguo's face was blue as if he was lacking oxygen, and a lot of sweat was oozing from the ground where he was lying. Xia Ruobing turned him over with great difficulty, spread out into a large shape and lay on the ground, the panting sound was no longer a normal "snort", but with a sharp tearing sound, that was the sound that the throat would only make because of extreme dryness, the distance just now not only squeezed the power in Wang Xingguo's body, but also squeezed all the water in his body.

"Wang Xingguo, what's wrong with you......" Xia Ruobing hugged Wang Xingguo's head and shook his shoulders.

Wang Xingguo moved his fingers, indicating that he was not dead, Xia Ruobing saw that he was tired like this, he couldn't help but feel pity, and hugged his head to make him more comfortable.

After a while, Wang Xingguo spoke: "Do you know...... It's not easy to be an expedition leader......"

"I know, you're doing a great job!" Xia Ruobing saw him speak and knew that he had recovered, so he was full of joy and couldn't help but kiss him on the forehead as a reward.

"Xia Ruobing...... It's time for you to lose weight......" Wang Xingguo finally calmed down and said again.

"You?! Get lost! When Xia Ruobing heard this, he was angry, and as soon as he let go, Wang Xingguo lay back on the ground......
