Chapter 14: Abilities
Mango is supposed to be a trained Labrador that doesn't toss around like those young and energetic Labradors. Mango, who has set up his home in the RV, sits in the passenger seat and looks intently at the scenery ahead, and needs to divert his attention when he encounters something he is interested in.
Chen Ming, who was accompanied by mango, felt a long-lost warmth, he turned his head to look at mango from time to time, reached out and touched Mango's big head, and Mango also put his head up extremely obediently, or took Chen Ming's hand with his mouth and rubbed Chen Ming's fingers with his teeth.
During the meal, Chen Ming opened the package of ham sausage and threw it forward, and Mango jumped up slightly with his right leg, biting and swallowing the red ham sausage, which made Chen Ming smile and be in a happy mood, and ate one more bread.
After lunch, one man and one dog continued on the road.
The RV was moving fast on the highway, sometimes stopping and opening the road, sometimes making a detour, and Chen Ming gradually left Jiangxia and entered the Jiangling territory. Gangneung has many rivers and a dense water network, and soon after entering the boundary of Gangneung, Chen Ming has passed through three bridges.
After a long drive and no one to talk to, Chen Ming began to feel sleepy, and his eyelids kept fighting. When Chen Ming crossed a bridge, he was completely confused, and when he was half asleep, the RV rushed straight to the fence on the right, and Mango, who was sitting in the co-pilot, hurriedly shouted: "Wang, Wang......"
Chen Ming, who was awakened by the sound of mangoes, opened his eyes and saw that the RV was no longer 2 meters away from the fence. Chen Ming was shocked, slammed the brakes with his right foot, and slammed the steering wheel to the left at the same time. But the RV had already rushed to the edge of the fence, only to hear a clang, and half of the RV was hanging outside the bridge.
Chen Ming's life hangs by a thread.
The RV staggered like a seesaw on the edge of the bridge, and Chen Ming was so frightened that he didn't dare to move at all. Under the bridge is a fast-flowing river, and if you fall down, you will definitely end up drowning. Although he has the experience of resurrecting from the dead, it is a mysterious death for no reason before he can be resurrected, and this kind of accidental death, Chen Ming doesn't know if he can be resurrected.
Chen Ming didn't dare to come out. He patted the mango slowly like a robot, then pointed to the back of the car. Mango was extremely clever and jumped out of the co-pilot, ran to the back of the car and sat down, and the amount of swaying of the car was much less instantly, and it appeared more stable.
Chen Ming reached out and pressed the back door opening button of the car on the instrument button of the car, and the back door of the RV slowly opened to 90 degrees under the drive of the motor, so that the center of gravity of the entire RV was further moved back. The RV finally stopped rocking and stabilized on the bridge.
Chen Ming exhaled deeply, and he reached for the seat belt at his waist. But before his hand touched the seat belt, he heard a terrified tear of steel.
The steel fence of the RV was overwhelmed and torn open under the weight of the RV. The white RV leans forward under the action of the earth's gravity and is about to fall into the river.
Mango reacted quickly and jumped out of the RV with both legs when it was tilting uncontrollably. Mango, who jumped out of the RV, kept yelling at the RV: "Wang, Wang, Wang..."
Chen Ming didn't think about it, he unbuckled his seat belt and turned around and began to run towards the back door of the RV.
The RV tilted very quickly, and soon the car began to fall head-down towards the river. Chen Ming, who usually lacks exercise, has no ability to run out, so he can only fall down with the RV.
Half a meter after the RV fell, the rear axle fence of the RV hung again, and Chen Ming slammed into the windshield with a snap.
Chen Ming lay on the windshield, quietly looking at the sky, he could see the blue sky, the white clouds, the steel pillars of the bridge and the steel cables that held the bridge.
Chen Ming didn't know how long the RV would last, and listening to the mango screaming outside the car, he knew that he had to escape as soon as possible.
Chen Ming carefully grabbed the back of the car seat and climbed up to stand up, and then grabbed the edge of the bed in the RV and carefully climbed towards the back door of the car.
A minute later, when Chen Ming cautiously climbed to the back door, the railing of the stuck car could no longer hold on. The RV fell straight towards the river, and Chen Ming's feet were so hard that he jumped out of the back door of the RV.
Chen Ming in the air writhed his body with his teeth and claws, but although he jumped out of the RV and above the bridge, his position had already deviated from the bridge, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't go back to the bridge.
Chen Ming fell from the sky to the fast-flowing river.
As the height decreased, Chen Ming saw the mango roaring on the bridge from his eyes, saw that the bolts at the bottom of the bridge had been rusted, and saw a swallow with an insect in its mouth flying under the bridge.
At this time, Chen Ming suddenly remembered his promise to his wife and the unfulfilled obligations to his children. If he dies, no one will be able to save his wife, and his children will grow up without a father.
Can his wife survive in this environment, and can he raise his two children?
What kind of man will his son become when he grows up without his own training, will he be strong and brave, gentle and kind?
"No, I can't die here." Chen Ming had a firm belief in his heart.
Chen Ming looked at the steel cable that was holding the bridge, and a belief was born in his heart, and he pressed his hands upward, wanting to grab the steel cable that was out of reach and thicker than his thumb, and pull himself out of this mortal situation.
Speaking of time, it was short at that time. Just when Chen Ming continued to fall with this belief in his arms, he was about to fall into the river. The longest of the sturdy steel cables suddenly broke.
Dozens of meters of steel cables seemed to suddenly have life, like a long snake, with the other end still connected to the bridge as the center of the circle to draw a big circle and fly to Chen Ming at high speed, wrapping Chen Ming's arm when Chen Ming was about to fall into the water, and quickly pulled Chen Ming out of the water and landed on the bridge, after losing the restraint on Chen Ming's arm, and then lost all movement.
Chen Ming sat on the ground with palpitations, and did not come back to his senses until Mango threw him to the ground in excitement and licked his face frantically.
He touched the mango's head and stood up and walked to the bridge, the white RV had all disappeared into the surging river, and there was not even a shadow in sight. If he fell by himself, he would definitely drown.
Chen Ming walked back to the tightrope that had just saved him, and at this time, the tightrope had returned to its state like a dead thing.
Chen Ming held the steel cable in his right hand and used all his strength to lift it up, he didn't understand what was going on just now, this heavy steel cable saved his life.
Chen Ming looked up and looked around, and there was only a lone car parked in the direction he was heading. The doors and windows of the sedan were closed, there was no human figure inside, and the dust accumulated on the sedan told Chen Ming that the sedan had been abandoned here for a long time.
The direction from which Chen Ming came was even more empty, not even a butterfly or a bee could be seen, let alone a human figure.
Chen Ming, who has experienced the mysterious creature Zhao Sha, looked at the suspicious sunshine at the mango jumping next to him, if there is any suspicion, it can only be the Labrador in front of him who is giggling, maybe this is a Labrador with superpowers.
Chen Ming beckoned to Mango, and Mango obediently came to Chen Ming and sat down. Chen Ming raised his left index finger and pointed to the steel cable underground, signaling Mango to move the steel cable again to show himself.
Mango looked at Chen Ming with a smile and a grin, not understanding what Chen Ming meant at all.
It circled around the steel cable, sniffed it with its nose for a while, patted it with its thick paws, bit the steel cable with its mouth and tried to drag it, and finally simply squatted on it to give the steel cable a bubble of dog urine with a charming smell, and after urinating, the whole body shivered, which looked very comfortable.
After peeing, Mango smiled comfortably and ran over to rub Chen Ming's legs, as if thanking the new owner for finding such a good place for him.
Chen Ming raised his hand and sighed, it seems that he is thinking too much, this is a real stupid dog...
Chen Ming touched the mango's head, at this time, the living creatures in this place only had their own mango, since it was not a mango, it could only be himself.
Chen Ming raised his right hand against the steel cable, concentrated, and ordered in his heart: "Come here!" ”
The tightrope did not move, as if mocking Chen Ming's whimsy.
Chen Ming was not discouraged, he stomped his foot violently, and at the same time ordered the tightrope again in his heart: "Come here." ”
The nephew played the lantern and kept it as usual.
"Could it be that your own method is wrong?" Chen Ming recalled the situation at the moment of crisis just now, except that his attention was no different than the current concentration.
At this time, Mango found a metal can out of nowhere and was biting the can and playing back and forth.
Chen Ming clapped his hands, and Mango came to Chen Ming with a can in his mouth. Chen Ming took the can from his mango mouth and sat cross-legged, staring intently at the can in his hand.
Time passed, and the can in Chen Ming's hand did not change at all. Chen Ming simply closed his eyes and felt the can in his hand.
Chen Ming focused on feeling and imagining the can in his hand. The image of the can gradually appeared in his mind, and he imagined the can slowly rising to the height of his eyebrows.
The mango next to Chen Ming looked at the can that suddenly rose from Chen Ming's hand, and was startled, and said "Wang!" to the can. ”
Chen Ming opened his eyes, and as soon as his attention spread, the can suddenly fell from the air. But at this time, Chen Ming's face was already full of joy, it seemed that it was indeed himself, and he had the ability to manipulate things.
Chen Ming recalled the feeling just now, this time he felt the can without closing his eyes, and the can slowly rose into the air under his control.
It worked, it really worked.
Chen Ming raised his hands and stared at these familiar and unfamiliar hands: under the super recovery power, he had discovered a new ability.
Suddenly discovering that he could control the can, Chen Ming fell into the excitement of his new abilities. He tried everything he could find.
After an hour of trying, Chen Ming had a clear understanding of his abilities.
First, he can only control metal, and he can't control anything other than the first time, no matter how hard he tries.
Second, he must concentrate on the metal he wants to control, as the slightest distraction will cause him to lose control of the metal.
Thirdly, under normal circumstances, he can only control metals that are not too heavy, and he can perceive metals beyond this limit, but he cannot control them.
Chen Ming named this ability: magnetic control.
Regarding the three characteristics of this ability, Chen Ming believes that in addition to the first characteristic that cannot be changed, the weaknesses of the other two abilities will definitely be improved through later training.
Chen Ming sat on the ground and controlled the can in his hand, gradually floating in front of him. The can appears to have been cut open by a laser knife, and the bottom has been torn off separately. The round bottom suddenly shot out and hit the glass of the car not far away, shattering the rear door glass of the car.
Chen Ming was excited, he didn't expect that one day he would be able to have his own superpowers like the superheroes in the movie.
Chen Ming stood up and summoned Mango over, only then did he realize that everything he had prepared had fallen into the river with the white RV.
Chen Ming came to the abandoned car, he reached through the broken window, opened the door and got into the car to see if there was a key.
Not surprisingly, the car keys have disappeared with the owner of the car.
Chen Ming opened the back box and was lucky to find a mountaineering bag in the trunk, with drinking water and biscuits next to the mountaineering bag.
Thanks to the owner of the car for his preparation, Chen Ming packed the water and biscuits into his hiking bag and called for a mango hike towards his goal.
