295.Tomb Raider 9: Joining Forces to Brave the Radio Tower (Part II)
【(( 1~
Further up here, there are no regular escalators to climb. About every half a meter a thumb-thick iron rod was welded, which was a simple ladder. However, the welding is very unreliable, just rely on the little cross-sectional area at the bottom of the welding, is it really okay to step on it?
Looking down, below is a mist-shrouded valley of bottomless depth. Laura glanced at it and looked up. You can't stare at it all the time, you'll be dizzy, dizzy, and weak.
The cold wind was fierce, and the radio tower shook gently.
There was no way back, and Laura gritted her teeth and continued to climb up.
Halfway through the climb, she suddenly found that several iron rods on it had been broken!
I don't know when it was broken, but it's gone. About two meters in the middle were empty, and there was no place to stay.
What to do? There is no way down anymore, and now the way up is cut off?
In the cold wind, Laura, who was wearing only a small vest, had beads of sweat on her forehead. The vigorous and heavy exercise combined with the tension and the high secretion of adrenaline made her feel a little dizzy.
Have to...... Can't throw in the towel!
She gritted her teeth, climbed as high as she could, held the iron pillar with her left hand, and poked out her right hand to leap hard!
It's just a gamble jump, a little crooked, and you will definitely fall and your bones will be gone.
Caught the iron rod!
However, the iron rod, which had been rusted for many years, could not withstand the force of the sudden grasping, and suddenly bent downward. It creaked and shattered, and it felt like it was about to break.
Luckily, there was a small piece of iron rod underneath that could be settled, and Laura hurried to climb up.
Crossing this dangerous section, she succeeded, and finally climbed to the top of the radio tower!
Amazing, sure enough, he is the chosen one, a real adventurer.
The simple communication console for debugging that Alex mentioned was now in front of her. Sitting in front of the console, leaning against the iron guardrail provided for the maintenance personnel, Laura felt her whole body tremble. She picked up the walkie-talkie and started calling Alex.
"Laura?"
"I'm already on the debugging communication console you mentioned." She opened the lid of the protective iron box and checked the instruments and equipment inside, "It's very old...... But they look intact and still work! ”
"Very well," Alex said, "the communication console can amplify the signal of the Survival Transmitter. The next thing you need to do is find out the emergency channel and then adjust the frequency of the radio to make the signal clear. I think you should have seen it, there's a radio on your right? That's what the maintenance crew used to debug the antenna. As long as the channel is correct, you can communicate with distant places through it. ”
Laura took a deep breath.
"Don't be nervous," Nan Xiao said, "all of us are blessing you, Laura. ”
"Thank you."
Laura begins to fine-tune the frequencies and look for an emergency channel.
After a chaotic sound of electricity, a monotonous mechanical voice came over the radio: "Your current channel is the International Emergency Broadcast Response System, please explain your situation and location coordinates, and wait for a reply." Your current channel is the International Emergency Broadcast Response System ......"
“mayday! Mayday (Maritime SOS Signal)! Laura said loudly over the radio, "This is Lara Crawford from the Perseverance expedition salvage ship." Our ship ran aground on an island in the Dragon Delta. If you need support, medical care, and supplies, please answer when you hear it. ”
She repeated the passage many times, from the beginning full of anticipation to the end of the muffled. Is it true that no one is hearing the cry for help? What's the point of trying to climb to such a high place?
Suddenly, an answer came over the radio: "This is the maritime rescue crew N177A." You have sent out a distress signal from the ship. We've been searching for you since we received it. I'm about to give up hope! ”
For a moment, it felt like all the effort was worth it. Laura was relieved and smiled lightly.
The crew member of N177A continued: "We have roughly located your location by means of survival signals, but we need a clear signal that is visible to the naked eye to be clear enough. ”
"Okay," Laura hastened to promise, "I'll figure it out." ”
"Very well, we'll go to your aid at once, over."
The moment the communication ended, many personal laughter rang out over the intercom. "Ah~hahaha" It was Alex who laughed the loudest, he was very excited, "Laura, you are amazing, you are our hero!" Did you know that Reyes laughed too! ”
Laura was also excited and happy, but now she had to think more about how to get off the radio tower.
"Nan Xiao," she called tentatively, "have you repaired the escalator below?" ”
"No problem," Nan Xiao replied, "I have hung a soft ladder on the second floor platform, which can go all the way down to where you started." ”
Laura was a little relieved and began to climb down.
The first test was how to get off the iron pillar. In the middle, a section of iron rod had been destroyed, and there was no place to stay. She thought about it, so she had to use the method of climbing the pillar, using a rope to go around the iron pillar and pull it, and slide down little by little.
Unexpectedly, when I slipped into the middle of the iron pillar and was just about to pass through that damaged place, the rope suddenly broke!
This was caught off guard and completely out of control. She had climbed the radio tower for a long time, and she was indeed tired, plus she had just successfully called for help, she was too excited, her posture was out of control, and she couldn't regain her balance.
"Help"
She exclaimed, and an upside-down onion fell from the sky.
The radio tower is at least more than 100 meters high, and with the height of the valley, this fall is definitely a meatloaf.
It is said that when a person falls, he will quickly look back on his life.
It is said that the speed at which life falls is 50 meters per second.
What was Laura thinking at this point?
At this moment, a pair of strong arms reached out in the air and hugged her.
The fall stopped, and it was safe.
Laura nestled in Nan Xiao's arms, staring at Nan Xiao blankly, estimating that her mind was all blank.
"Don't be afraid," Nan Xiao maintained the posture of the princess hugging her, comforting her, "Look, it's okay anymore." ”
"But, but ......"
Laura wanted to say, "How the hell did you catch me!" This is not scientific! But now she was in a state of turmoil, with all kinds of thoughts and images flying around, and she couldn't sort out the clue at all.
"The speed of the wind is 10 meters per second."
"Huh?"
"I've tested it, and there's an occasional upward wind here. You see, when you fall, you are held up by an upward air current, as if you are passing through a thick layer of air cushions, so when you actually fall to the third platform, the impact is not very strong. In this way, it makes sense and logic for me to reach out and catch you, right? ”
Laura looked at Nan Xiao suspiciously, and then looked behind Nan Xiao. "You have a good point," she said, "but ...... Why do you have wings behind you? ”
At this time, Nan Xiao's feet were at least twenty meters away from the third platform. He is literally suspended in the air, and there are three extra pairs of huge wings behind him. The white feathers are covered in layers, rich, gorgeous, and extremely elegant.
