Remember this site for a second: m. Wires?" I asked, tilting my head, inexplicable.

Lao Xu saw my stunned look, and the serious and angry look just now suddenly relaxed. He beckoned me to look closely at his feet, and I was ready to see why.

With a slight touch of his heel on the ground, the device immediately drilled a hole in the ground and quickly shoved the wire into the hole. Then the device released a nail, and one end of the wire was nailed to the ground, and no matter how much Lao Xu pulled, it would not loosen.

Immediately afterwards, Lao Xu raised his foot and took a big step forward, and the wire on his heel was also stretched by him. As soon as his feet dropped to the ground, the device repeated what it had done, nailing the wire to the ground.

Two points and one line, this section of wire is firmly fixed on this steep slope. And then, it seems, there are many, many more paragraphs.

"Is that enough wire for you?"

I looked at the bundle of wires on his back, and it turned seven or eight times, and if it was not good, it was the end of pulling it near the cotton pond.

"Haha...... Of course it's enough. ”

He grabbed the wire with one hand and stopped the wire on his back from turning. Then with one kick raised, the wire behind him, which was originally half a meter long, was stretched by him to one and a half meters.

What's even more exaggerated is that he didn't stop, but asked me to follow him and continue to go up. But at this time, he can only land on the ground with the ball of his forefoot, because once the device of his heel touches the ground, it will release nails.

Because of this, the two rows of hooks under his feet did not fully penetrate the ground, and in order to prevent him from falling down without standing firmly, I had to push his back with my hands and walk up step by step.

I pushed him silently, my head down, stunned at the longer and longer wire—the half-meter-long wire, which had been stretched to fifty meters by him.

Eventually, he couldn't lift his feet anymore, and it seemed that the wire had stretched to the limit. He landed lightly on his heel, and a nail was released, nailing the wire.

"What the hell is this wire?"

"It's a wire made of nanofibers. ”

"Nanofiber wire?" I frowned, and today I heard a new term.

"Hmm...... It is an extremely elastic material that can change according to people's needs, and this material is also available on nano clothing. It's like ......" Lao Xu pouted, as if thinking about something.

"Like what?"

"It's like playdough when I was a kid. ”

"Poof, you Lazy kids still play with plasticine?"

"Who doesn't play with plasticine! Everyone loves to play with plasticine when they are young. Don't you play?"

"I? I don't remember if I've ever played ......."

"Ah, it's alright, Joan. ”

"Gee, it's okay. I was thinking, since I know what plasticine is, maybe I've played with it too. Haha......"

"Haha, okay. But......" Old Xu's expression suddenly became sad, and he paused for a long time before continuing, "It's been a long time since plasticine has appeared in the town. ”

"Why?

”

"Because I haven't had children for a long time......"

"Huh?"

"Don't talk about it, let's move on. ”

At this time, Lao Xu and I were like two tiny sesame seeds in a big bowl, no one would notice, and Hao walked up inconspicuously.

And the more I went up, especially closer to the misty cotton pool, the more I felt that time was slowing down, as if it had stopped.

This distance is not far and not close, and I feel that I have walked for half a century. Lao Xu and I sighed very tacitly, and finally, we came to the bottom of the cotton pool.

The closer we got to the pool of cotton, the more difficult it became to breathe, as if it had sucked away all the oxygen. In this situation, the oxygen mask is gone.

Seeing this, Lao Xu took out two small oxygen tanks from the small bag on his waist, which were the kind we used before. But this time it was a little different, there was a small rope on the oxygen cylinder, one end of the small rope was embedded in the bottle, and the other end was a small buckle.

Lao Xu handed me an oxygen cylinder, and I stretched out my hands to take the oxygen cylinder. Unexpectedly, he turned his hand, opened the small button, and fastened it into a metal ring on the wrist of my clothes.

The last experience seems to have happened yesterday, just now, and it seems to be a constant reminder of how important oxygen is.

"Joan, I warn you, don't let it be lost!

"Roger, instructor!" I saluted, not knowing if it was standard.

"Okay, okay, don't come to this. Keep up. ”

We stepped out of one foot at the same time and walked towards the mysterious and dangerous cotton pool.

When I looked closer, I realized that the white fluid was really flowing slowly, and there was a huge whirlpool in the middle of the cotton pool, and some pieces of iron could still be seen rotating around the center of gravity.

That's what Lao Xu said, we thought we were sinking constantly, but in fact, we were just trapped in this whirlpool, constantly spinning.

The white fluid gradually flooded my body, obscuring my eyes. The moment I touched my skin, all the pores on my body seemed to be blocked, and I couldn't breathe at all, which was a very "familiar" feeling.

I picked up the oxygen tank, aimed it at my mouth and nose, and inhaled deeply.

In front of him, Lao Xu's figure also became blurred, and his shoulders and body disappeared from time to time. But I didn't panic a bit, because I could still feel myself being pulled forward by a strong, safe force.

This time, I don't have to get lost in the white fear.

Suddenly, a hand pierced through the white fluid, appeared in front of me, and pressed straight against my head. I was startled by that hand, and my eyes were about to fall out. But before I could reflect it, a force from top to bottom ran through my head to my feet, pressing my whole body to the ground.

I crouched on the ground in a panic and kept asking myself, who is it?

But before I could see who it was

At that moment, a huge piece of metal slid swiftly over my head.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and froze. It was only a centimeter or two before my head was shaved off.

I fixed my eyes on the fast-gliding metal, and though I could only see a little, the stripes on the metal were all too familiar to me—exactly the same as those on the lazy ship.

At this moment, the hand that was pressing on my head retracted, and a black shadow of a human head appeared in front of me. I instinctively longed to take a step back, but the hiking boots were firmly planted in the ground and could not be pulled out.

In the blink of an eye, Lao Xu's face emerged from the white fluid, and he stared at me with wide eyes and looked me up and down, as if to check if I was hurt.

When I saw his face, I was relieved that the hand was his! Obviously, I was saved by him again.

After the examination, Lao Xu gave me a positive look, and I also looked at him affirmatively, nodded, and he nodded. Immediately, he turned around and walked on.

I took another deep breath of oxygen, and I gently pressed my heart with my hand, and it was beating just so fast.

Several times, I almost crashed into the huge piece of metal, but I managed to dodge it without any danger. By the end, I had mastered the pattern of its coming, and I had pinched the right time to squat down.

"Little Joan!" Suddenly, I heard Lao Xu calling my name.

But isn't it that I can't hear anything here? Is it because I'm hallucinating?

Don't...... Is this my inner fear? It's tempting me, and am I going to get lost here?......

Countless doubts took over my body, and I stopped, not daring to continue walking. I'm afraid that if I take the wrong step, I won't be able to go out again.

At this moment, I felt the wire rope around my waist being quickly pulled by a ferocious force. But just as my body was about to be pulled, it stopped again.

I lowered my head and looked at the wire rope, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Something happened to Lao Xu?"

I panicked uncontrollably, what could I do without him?

Suddenly, the wire rope around my waist was pulled twice, and I thought about it, as if urging me to move forward.

"Xiao Qiong!" Lao Xu's voice appeared in my ears again.

Where the hell is he? Shall I go on? Forget it, I'll go ahead and see!

I held my breath, lifted my feet as if I was slowing down, took a little step forward, and stepped down hard.

One step, two steps, three steps...... I counted silently in my heart.

When I counted to the fourth step in my heart, a chill came from nowhere, burrowed into my clothes, and stung my skin. Just when I was hesitating whether to go again, the wire rope around my waist was straightened, and with a sudden pull, I was pulled forward alive.

The white fluid slid across my cheeks, and I squinted to prevent it from scratching my eyes. Suddenly, my skin felt a familiar chill, a ray of golden sunlight hit my face, and fresh air poured in

Into my nostrils, the breath I was holding was finally relieved.

I opened my eyes slightly, and what I saw was an endless blue sky, and there were a few clouds in the sky, like blooming flowers welcoming me.

It turned out to be Lao Xu, and it was he who pulled my upper body out of the misty cotton pool. I lifted my foot and took a few steps forward, my whole body completely out of the cotton pool.

I glanced back, and it was still spinning silently, slowly erasing all traces of our path.

"I didn't expect it......," Lao Xu said to me.

"Didn't expect anything?" I tilted my head to look at him.

"You don't think this cotton pool...... In fact, it wasn't that scary, and it wasn't too thick, and it didn't take a few steps to come out. Lao Xu shook his head and continued to walk up.

And I still looked at it, and suddenly I realized that I didn't have the original fear of it, maybe that's how it feels after conquering. The best way to get rid of fear is to conquer it.

I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little happy in my heart, but I didn't know what I was happy about, maybe it was the ease of breathing fresh air. I turned around and continued to follow Lao Xu up.

After a short walk, we were back at the top of the steep slope, but instead of the dead woods, we were on the opposite side of the dead trees.

As far as the eye can see, this large bowl-shaped valley is still amazing.

At this time, Lao Xu was sticking his waist, looking up at the sky, and was silent for a long time. I also followed him, looking into the distance.

When we finally saw the sky, we couldn't help but sigh in tacit understanding at the vast blue sky.
