Chapter 90: Climbing the Wall
The terrifying images on the street made Wang Meiqi and the three of them terrified.
Li Siqiang asked Wang Meiqi.
"Sister Maggie, I'm asking you one last time."
"Are you sure you want to take the risk?"
"It's too late to turn back!"
Wang Meiqi looked at the corpse tide below them and said firmly.
"We must go, if we don't save each other, then we really have no future for the living!"
"Da Han, after we leave, you and Uncle An must ensure their safety."
"Got it!"
Li Siqiang nodded at Wang Meiqi.
"Sister Meiqi, then you should hurry up and go!"
"Go early and come back early!"
Li Siqiang looked up at the black cable above their heads, and then half-squatted down, and the same posture and the same method appeared again.
"Come on!"
"Good luck with you!"
Jia Xingguo said to Wang Meiqi.
"Sister Maggie, I'll go first."
"You'll be on your way when I get to the roof of the building opposite."
"Got it?"
Maggie Wang nodded.
Jia Xingguo walked to the end of the bus, and ran towards Li Siqiang with an acceleration run.
Because the height of the cable is very high, Jia Xingguo must have enough acceleration to increase the inertia.
Jia Xingguo stepped on Li Siqiang's palm and was lifted hard, jumping towards the black cable.
When Jia Xingguo approached the cable, he grabbed the cable with both hands, and then swung his feet around trying to clamp the cable with his feet.
When Jia Xingguo hung safely on the cable, he slowly climbed towards the roofs of the shops.
"Whew..."
After Jia Xingguo reached the roof of the building, he jumped off the cable.
At this time, Jia Xingguo could see Wang Meiqi, but Wang Meiqi and they couldn't see Jia Xingguo.
Why is this happening, the reason is that Wang Meiqi and they have street lamps there, but the roof of the building where Jia Xingguo is located is pitch black.
Jia Xingguo was on the roof of the building, thinking about how to signal Wang Meiqi opposite.
It is unrealistic to shout Wang Meiqi loudly, there must be other ways to let Wang Meiqi know that he has arrived safely.
Jia Xingguo looked left and right and carefully observed. But there was nothing on the roof that could help him, and he was reluctant to take a bullet out of his hand.
"I'll use you."
"What a waste, a good bullet is gone!"
As soon as the words fell, Jia Xingguo threw the bullet in his hand towards Li Siqiang's body.
Wang Meiqi and Li Siqiang on the roof of the car were very nervous when they saw that there was no movement on the other side for a long time.
Wang Meiqi said to Li Siqiang.
"Da Han, nothing will happen to him."
Li Siqiang replied.
"How is it possible, that kid's life is hard!"
"Don't worry!"
As soon as Li Siqiang's words were finished, a hard object flew over from the opposite side and smashed on his body.
Li Siqiang bent down and picked up the unknown hard object, observing it carefully.
"Bullets in Jia Xingguo's pistol."
"Looks like that's what he told you."
"Sister Maggie, you must be careful for a while."
"Don't let go of the cable once you've grabbed it!"
Maggie nodded and walked to the back of the bus.
A proud figure under the moonlight flew in mid-air, and Wang Meiqi easily grabbed the cable.
Because Wang Meiqi's weight was very light, Li Siqiang didn't use much effort to send her up.
Wang Meiqi struggled to move in the direction of Jia Xingguo.
When Wang Meiqi came to the top of Jia Xingguo's head, Jia Xingguo raised his hands to catch her.
"Sister Maggie, that's amazing!"
"I was worried about you just now, but it seems that I was too worried."
Maggie replied with a smile.
"Alright, don't compliment me."
"Let's get ready to go."
"Time waits for no one."
Wang Meiqi and Jia Xingguo began to patrol the roof.
At first, everyone thought that if the two of them could safely reach the roof, they would just have to walk all the way to the top of the pharmacy.
Unfortunately, when the two came to the roof, their naïve thoughts were dispelled.
The reason is that not all of the shops in this row only have two floors, some of them are of the second floor, and some of them are of the third floor. This has created too much trouble for Wang Meiqi and Jia Xingguo.
Jia Xingguo grumbled.
"Damn, there's something wrong with the real estate developer."
"The specifications of the house built are unexpectedly different!"
"That's how we move forward."
Wang Meiqi looked at the high wall in front of them and said.
"This is also to take care of all kinds of consumer groups, after all, some people don't want to spend more money."
"Let's look to see if there's any other way, or a useful tool that can help us get past it."
After Jia Xingguo nodded, the two of them began a carpet search.
Ten minutes later, the two men met again under the wall.
Wang Meiqi asked Jia Xingguo.
"Xingguo, how's it going?"
Jia Xingguo replied with a dejected expression.
"Nothing was found."
"We risked our lives to get here, and that's how it turned out."
"What a disappointment!"
Wang Meiqi was also very depressed, but she knew that she couldn't show it at this time, if even she was extremely depressed, then Jia Xingguo would lose confidence even more.
Wang Meiqi raised her right hand and patted Jia Xingguo's shoulder a few times, and then smiled and said to him.
"There is no way to anything, and there is a solution to everything."
"We've overcome so many difficulties before."
"This time we must be able to do the same."
"Xingguo, think about it, how did we get here."
Jia Xingguo lowered his head and thought back to their experiences and encounters in the past few days.
"Our experience in the past few days can be described as thrilling, nine deaths."
"Since the fall of the base, we have worked hard to reach Guanghua City, abandoned our cars and weapons and entered the city."
"Encounter countless living corpses and kill them along the way."
"Fighting all kinds of mutated living corpses again."
"In the end, I met Uncle An in the pharmacy, and he accompanied us to experience life and death in the pharmacy again."
"And this aisle under our feet, another experience of almost annihilation."
"Sister Maggie, I really don't know how many more difficulties we can get through."
Wang Meiqi encouraged Jia Xingguo and said.
"You see we've come all the way, and we don't risk our lives for everything!"
"What's the matter, such a high wall stumped you!"
"This doesn't look like you at all!"
Jia Xingguo asked with a wry smile.
"Sister Meiqi, do you have any other good solutions?"
Maggie Wang replied.
"There's no good way to do it yet, but I'm sure this wall won't stop us."
Maggie walked to their landing site, and she looked at the bus in the distance. Although she couldn't see the inside from the outside, she knew very well that the people in the car were very worried about her and Jia Xingguo at this time, but they couldn't help at all.
The last days are like this, since this choice has been made, there is no turning back, no one can help you when you encounter difficulties, you can only count on yourself!
Just when Wang Meiqi was lamenting the injustice of the last days, she suddenly saw something on the outer wall of the haberdashery store opposite.
Wang Meiqi immediately turned around and beckoned Jia Xingguo to come over.
"Xingguo, come here."
"I've found out!"
As soon as Jia Xingguo heard Wang Meiqi calling him, he ran to Wang Meiqi's side excitedly.
"Sister Maggie, what did you find?"
Wang Meiqi pressed Jia Xingguo's head and looked at the haberdashery store opposite.
"Do you see what's on the far side of each shop?"
Jia Xingguo replied with a confused expression.
"What's there, every store is different."
"What do I see!"
Wang Meiqi replied helplessly.
"If you look closely, it doesn't matter if the shop on the opposite side is two or three floors, they all have a drainage facility."
"It's the drain."
"Because each shop is different, they can't share a single drain."
"In order to prevent rainwater from the upper floors from accumulating to the roofs of the lower floors, the drainage system of each store is independent."
"And the drainage system of each shop is on the far right of the exterior wall."
Jia Xingguo said excitedly.
"Sister Meiqi, what do you mean, should our row of shops be like this?"
Wang Meiqi nodded happily and replied.
"Let's go and make sure!"
Wang Meiqi and Jia Xingguo walked towards the edge of the wall.
As they cautiously poked their heads out of the wall, a white drain appeared in front of them. Not only this shop, but all the shops in the back have such a drainage pipe outside.
Jia Xingguo said excitedly.
"Sister Meiqi, you're really right."
"There is no endless road!"
Wang Meiqi also replied excitedly.
"In that case, time waits for no one."
"Let's get going."
"If that man's injuries drag on until dawn, it's dangerous!"
Jia Xingguo motioned to Wang Meiqi for him to climb up first and try to see if the drainage pipe was strong. Wang Meiqi agreed and stood behind Jia Xingguo, after all, Wang Meiqi did not dare to try such a dangerous thing easily.
Jia Xingguo grabbed the drainage pipe outside the wall with both hands, and his body flipped out on one side.
Although the drain pipe is made of plastic, it is formed by adding high-density polyethylene and other additives. Even with a hammer weighing one kilogram, it will not easily shatter when struck violently.
Jia Xingguo shook the drain pipe twice, because the pipe was firmly fixed in the wall by the steel ring, no matter how much strength Jia Xingguo used, the drain pipe did not move at all.
Jia Xingguo said to Wang Meiqi with confidence.
"Sister Maggie, there's no problem."
"You and I don't weigh much, so you can climb up with confidence."
"I'll go up first, you can follow me!"
Wang Meiqi replied to Jia Xingguo in a low voice.
"Okay, then you have to be careful!"
Jia Xingguo's movements were dexterous, and it didn't take him a few seconds to climb up this pipe that was several meters long.
When Jia Xingguo stood on the roof of the third floor, he beckoned to Wang Meiqi.
Wang Meiqi also climbed onto the drain without saying a word.
(Wang Meiqi and Jia Xingguo have successfully solved the problem of climbing upstairs, but there is another problem that they have not considered for the time being.) If you want to know the next story, stay tuned for the next chapter! )
