Chapter 74: The Great Army (2)
Remember this site for a second: m. Qiu Qiong!"
Jiang Man also ran out of the tent, followed me, and kept calling my name.
But at this time, my mind was blank, and I was only worried about Gu Chengzi in the valley.
Could he have woken up already?
If he doesn't wake up, that's fine.
But Lao Xu and I were in a hurry at the time, and we didn't leave any notes or messages for him. If he had woken up, he would have been confused.
And if he wakes up, he won't be able to cook, and he won't get some dry food or anything in Lao Xu's pile, he will definitely starve!
Thinking of this, my steps became more hurried, and I walked in the direction of the valley without looking back.
"It's been three days...... How can you stay in this place for three days......" I asked myself, confused.
Xiaoguo has been running and jumping beside me, not afraid of the complicated mountain road at all, it seems that it has become more comfortable and happier.
"Woo~Woo~"
"Huh?"
"Whew......" it gasped.
"Xiaoguo, we're going back to the valley now. I have a very important friend who is still there. ”
"Whew~"
I guess it didn't understand where I was going, but it still ran out with me without hesitation, which made my heart feel a little warm.
To be honest, the road to the valley has been back and forth several times, and I am quite familiar with it. And he also unloaded Lao Xu's devices, although he still staggered, but he was a little faster.
Jiang Man has long since disappeared, and I guess she probably went back because she couldn't keep up with me.
The mountain wind still swept fiercely across my cheeks, my face was frozen, and my eyes were dry and aching.
But I have no other way, I have to make sure that Gu Chengzi is safe, I can't lose anyone anymore.
I clenched my fists, gritted my teeth, and continued to walk forward against the chill in my face.
In the blink of an eye, I was already standing at the top of the valley. Looking down, it was still the same as before.
I quickly opened the paws of my hiking shoes, and when I was about to go down, Xiaoguo beside me called anxiously
"Woohoo!"
"Xiaoguo, what's wrong?"
It walked onto a rock, leaped, jumped onto my shoulder, and slipped into my hiking suit.
"Oh, so you're coming in. Then we're going to go. ”
I lifted my foot and stretched it forward.
"I can do it, I can do it......" I kept hinting at myself.
The first step of the front foot staggered down, and the two rows of claws dug firmly into the ground. My body fell forward slowly, in a perpendicular position to the ground.
Once the suit had adjusted to the inclination, I quickly lifted my hind feet.
"Huh! Why can't you lift it!"
I turned my head to see that perhaps because the first step had been taken by the amplitude of movement, the hiking boots on my back feet sensed my instability and even opened their paws and plunged into the ground.
My heart was desperate, because my hind feet were already in a straight line, and I wanted to make a movement to lift my legs.
Easier said than done!
The moment I turned around, the mountaineering suit immediately lost its upward thrust, and I was like a soft rice cake, and my whole body was about to fall down.
In order not to fall, I relied on my little waist strength to support myself, but I also knew that I had to find a way to stand firm quickly, or else......
For a moment, I was so panicked that I had reached the bottom of a complete loss of my mind - I actually reached out my hands and grabbed the base of my thighs on my hind feet, trying to pull it out of the ground.
"Woo~Woo~"
Xiaoguo also realized that this was a bad solution, and it called out anxiously, as if telling me to wake up quickly.
But I was so anxious that the voice of the whole world was blocked by me, and I only knew to grab my hind feet and pull out desperately.
It's really desperate.
But with all my strength, it was still there, showing no signs of moving.
I let go of my hands, stuck them in my waist, panting, looking helplessly at this stiff leg, and suddenly felt a little hated that iron could not be made of steel.
After I let out a long sigh, I don't know if it was a trick of fate, or if it was such a coincidence, a crack appeared in the ground that was pierced by the claws of the hind foot.
And in just a second, the crack grew from small to large at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and at the last small piece of rock, it was grabbed by the claws of the sole.
Because I lost the pull of my hind foot, in an instant, I lost my center of gravity, and I looked like it was about to fall, so I quickly concentrated all my strength on my waist.
My straightened hind legs drew a circle in mid-air, like doing a standard Thomas maneuver.
At this critical juncture, I felt a pair of warm hands grasp my shoulders tightly.
Thankfully, these hands grabbed me, and none of them tumbled down the valley.
I looked at the cotton pool parallel to me, and my heart was mixed. I slowly lowered my feet, and the two rows of claws were firmly planted in the ground.
Only then did I turn around and look at it, it turned out to be Jiang Man. She took my shoulders with both hands, gasping for air, her brow furrowed slightly, and she looked at me tiredly.
"Ginger...... "I said embarrassedly, .......
"How do you go on like this...... Didn't the mountains tell you how to go down?"
She pulled me up, and I was very cooperative, and after this time, I really didn't dare to do anything more and act willfully.
Because, not every time I was so lucky to be saved, I shouldn't joke with my life anymore.
"It's good that I arrived just in time, otherwise...... The consequences are truly unimaginable. She put her hands on her waist, and her breath had not yet calmed down, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued to say to me seriously, "Shanshan really didn't tell you?"
"You didn't tell me...... All I know is follow him......"
"Well, it can't be helped...... He always forgets to say this and that, you have to ask...... He'll remember to tell you......"
"Yes, yes, it's been like this several times......"
The two of us looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was finally not so much
Embarrassed.
"How are you going to go down? It really scared the hell out of me. ”
"At such a high distance, of course it's scary to walk while watching. So, you're going to walk backwards. ”
"Backwards?" I looked at her quizzically.
"Just as you came up, with your back to the ground. ”
"Ahh ”
"Well, because if you walk with your back to you, the force of the mountaineering suit will be wider, and the reaction force it provides will be greater. ”
As she spoke, as if remembering something, her right hand clenched into a fist and struck her left palm.
"Ahh
"Wiring?"
I thought back carefully to the scene when we came up, and there was a device on Lao Xu's heel at that time, which was specially used to nail wires.
"Lao Xu seemed to have laid a wire at that time. ”
"That's right. Where?"
"Where's that line...... It's so dark in here, I don't know where it is?" I replied helplessly, spreading my hands.
"Well, that's okay. ”
I saw her take out a pair of glasses from her pocket, and after she put them on, she pressed them on the frame, and some stripes and data immediately appeared on the lenses.
She scanned the surroundings and finally settled on one spot.
"Qiuqiong, ...... there"
"Huh, where is it? I can't see it at all. ”
"Come with me. ”
I trotted after her all the way to the wiring position. She crouched down and checked the wire.
"Hmm...... This line is invisible when it reaches the fluidic layer...... What the hell is that?"
"We don't know, but there's no oxygen in there, and all the machinery doesn't work. ”
"Right...... In the past few days, we have also taken some samples with the intention of testing what kind of substance it is. ”
Her brow furrowed as if things weren't that simple, she let out a long sigh and continued.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the beaker containing the sample approached the testing instrument, the instrument all crashed. Hitherto...... None of us have found out what it is made of, alas. ”
Looking at the way she explained to me seriously, I really couldn't understand that she would be with Lao Xu, who was always not serious.
"It doesn't matter, in fact, it's not that scary, as long as you pull this line and go down step by step, it should be fine. ”
"Uh-huh, Qiu Qiong, I'll teach you how to go down. ”
She told me to walk over to the wire, with my back to the valley. Then he pulled up the wire from the ground, put it in my hand, and grabbed a clasp on my belt and pulled it out.
I thought it was just an ordinary buckle, but I didn't expect it to be a safety rope.
She buckled the buckle of the safety rope to the wire, once it was buckled, it was impossible to loosen unless it was manually lifted, it had been integrated with the wire.
"It's a lot safer that way. You grabbed my hand......"
I looked at her at a loss as I held the wire in one hand and grabbed her arm tightly with the other.
"yes, a little harder......
That's it, and take a step back. ”
I stared at her blankly, and there was an abyss behind me.
"I can't see, I don't dare to go......"
"Do you believe me?"
"Believe. ”
"Then give yourself to me, listen to me, I won't let go. ”
"Okay. ”
My right foot slowly stretched out, and the feeling of not touching the ground and not being able to see was really scary.
Jiang Man took a small step forward, my body gradually leaned back, and when it was almost forty-five degrees, Jiang Man whispered to me.
"Here, now, step on it hard. Believe in yourself. ”
"Good. ”
I listened to the command and stomped my right foot down the steep slope, and the two rows of claws were firmly planted into the ground.
"Okay, now don't move your right foot, lift your left foot. ”
I swallowed, and my left foot trembled as I lifted it up.
"Don't panic, grab the wire with your hand and reach below your right foot with your left foot. ”
"Below?"
"Yes. Don't panic, take your time! Slow down! You can do it. ”
As soon as my left foot left the ground, it started shaking violently, and I wanted to stop it, but the more I tried to control it, the more it shook violently.
"Don't panic, don't panic. ”
Jiang Man kept encouraging me, holding me tightly with both hands. And put my body down.
As I staggered, my left foot overtook my right foot, and my body gradually became parallel to the cotton pool below, as if lying in mid-air.
But by this time, my mouth and hands were shaking.
"Qiu Qiong, the last step, just like just now, step on it. ”
"Okay~" My voice also trembled.
I reached for the steep slope with my left foot, and I was relieved to see the two rows of claws digging into the ground.
"Are you ready?"
"Huh, what are you going to prepare?"
I looked at her in horror, and she nodded at me.
