Chapter 12: Race against time

The reason for the change in Chen Chong's face was very simple, naturally because on this map, there was an extremely dangerous blood-red inscription near the location where they were now! And the specific location indicated by this font was the misty area dozens of meters away in front of them!

He looked up and looked at the towering rock walls on either side of the riverbank, his face growing more and more ugly.

Once again, there was an accident beyond his control, that is, he had no idea that an extremely dangerous area of fog would block the exit of the Dark River, blocking their way.

What's in it, and why is it labeled as extremely dangerous?

Chen Chong looked at the hazy and unusually quiet fog area not far away, and his brows furrowed tightly.

I don't know if it was his delusion or some other reason, but as he stared at the foggy area that blocked almost the entire river valley, it seemed that there was something faintly in the fog that attracted him, tempted him, and made him have an extremely strong desire to enter it.

How did I come up with such thoughts?

Chen Chong was slightly startled in his heart, feeling that this thought in his heart was sudden and weird. He glanced around, only to find that the prisoners around him were all surrounded by hope, and they seemed very normal.

Is it my delusion?

Not yet out of danger, the situation was urgent, and Chen Chong forcibly drove out the strange thoughts that had bred in his heart. Lin Kun was also keenly aware that something was wrong with Chen Chong, and immediately came to his side to take a closer look, and his face changed:

"Extremely dangerous...... Is that the foggy zone ahead of us?"

Chen Chong's eyes calmed down again, handed the map to Lin Kun, and said in a deep voice: "There are no traces of new alterations on the map, which means that it is not a fraud." ”

Lin Kun took the map and identified it, looked at the misty area not far ahead, and then turned his head to look at the rock walls on both sides, as if he had thought of something, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead:

"No wonder I think there's something wrong here, there's a clean water source here but you don't see any radiation infestation! A base with a powerful figure like Tyreth would mark this place as extremely dangerous, and the fog could be even more dangerous than we believed. It seems that this path is not going to work. Then we'll just have to ......"

At this time, the other prisoners also realized that there seemed to be something unexpected in the situation, and immediately looked at each other.

Chen Chong scanned the map over and over again, although the situation was extremely urgent, his mind became more and more calm, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

He knew in his heart that although they could climb the rock wall and make a detour, there was one biggest problem, that is, the rock walls on both sides were high and steep, and because of the perennial water vapor infection, most of the rock surface seemed to grow slippery moss, which undoubtedly made it more difficult to climb. In addition, all the prisoners present were yellow-faced and thin, without any tools in their hands, and no one knew how long it would take to climb this steep rock wall nearly 20 meters high! Especially Chen Chong himself, one arm was half useless, and two ribs were broken, and now he was completely relying on willpower to support, and in such a situation, it was undoubtedly more difficult than other prisoners to climb this steep rock wall of nearly 20 meters!

However, what is even worse is that behind them, there is Johnson who hates him to the core, and a group of guards are coming! Even if the road in the cave is rough, it will take them a maximum of one or twenty minutes to catch up here after a distance of two or three kilometers!!

"Climb up first!"

Barely recovering some of his strength, Chen Chong stood up suddenly, put away the map, looked up at the steep rock wall nearly twenty meters high, and cut the railway:

"Listen, everybody! The foggy area ahead is extremely dangerous and impassable! Johnson and they are chasing down the river, we must climb up the rock wall now, immediately, immediately!"

During this time, Chen Chong was not very sure whether he could climb over this rock wall with one arm half-wasted. But in today's situation, he can't think about it so much.

He could never sit idly by, the lesser of two evils, compared to the fog area where even the base was marked with the word "extremely dangerous", it was obvious that he had a better chance of surviving by climbing over the rock wall during the ten minutes of interval.

The surrounding prisoners were still digesting this information, and Chen Chong was already the first to stand in front of the rock wall, and said coldly:

"What are you waiting for, waiting for the white-skinned ghosts to come after you and then shake hands with them and say goodbye? Climb! The time left for us is only ten minutes at most! If you climb up, you will live! If you can't climb up, you will die!"

Chen Chong's cold words echoed in the air, and the prisoners present shivered in unison, and realized that now it was the key to life and death, and it was completely a race against time and death, so he immediately screamed, and immediately pounced on the rock wall and chose a position to start climbing desperately.

Chen Chong also gritted his teeth and stepped on a raised cliff wall, using his intact right arm to start climbing.

"Whoop, whoop......"

The wheezing sound was clearly audible, the prisoners climbed with difficulty, and every time they found a raised point of focus, they had to first remove the slippery moss attached to it, otherwise there would be a risk of falling down; because of long-term malnutrition, most of the prisoners were thin and weak, and their endurance was extremely poor, coupled with the steep rock wall, the prisoners had to gasp violently every time they climbed a small distance; and some people chose to climb the position and even halfway through the climb there was no place to borrow strength, so they could only be annoyed and unwilling to start all over again.

A few minutes passed, and the fastest climber was Lin Kun and the other two prisoners, who had already climbed nearly ten meters high, in the middle of the rock wall. Comparatively speaking, Chen Chong at this moment can climb to a height of five or six meters, not only behind Lin Kun and a few other leaders, but even behind most of the prisoners.

"Whew...... Whew......"

The breath exhaled from his mouth carried a strong taste of blood, and the green tendons on Chen Chong's forehead burst out, and large pieces of sweat rolled down.

One arm is half-broken, almost unable to exert any strength, plus the ribs are broken, the situation is extremely unfavorable for him, let alone an ordinary person to make such a difficult action as climbing a rock wall, it is a luxury to maintain a standing posture.

However, Chen Chong was like a tireless and painful iron man, his intact right arm poked out again and again, still silent, but slowly and forcefully grasped the protruding rock walls and climbed upward.

In this process, Chen Chong's original sharp nails had been broken, and every palm touched the rock wall left a little bloodstain, but he didn't realize it, and gradually climbed higher.

"Ahh

At this moment, there was a sudden scream from the rock wall, and a thin prisoner who had climbed to a height of eight or nine meters slipped under his feet, fell down in a frightened scream, and the whole person hit the ground with the back of his head, and slammed into the hard ground!

The fallen prisoner curled up on the ground, motionless and silent, red blood staining the ground beneath him.

The prisoners, who were struggling to climb, trembled in their hearts when they saw this scene.

They knew that whether or not the unnamed prisoner was alive, he would never get out alive.
