Chapter 19: Survival on the Beam
"Upper!"
Wang Chuyi said this coldly, and I didn't react at once.
"Oops, take a look at it."
I quickly picked up my flashlight and shone it above our heads, and found that we were standing under a stone pillar, and above it was a very thick beam, one part of the beam was on the stone pillar next to us, and the other side should be on the opposite side of the stone pillar.
Wang Chuyi looked up, put away the gun, and took out a bundle of climbing rope from the backpack, one end of the rope was tied with a four-cornered barb claw, I saw her holding the climbing rope, shook it twice in her hand, and then threw it upward, the climbing rope spared two circles on the beam, and finally buckled together, and then she pulled the climbing rope hard, and after making sure that there was no problem, she began to climb up, all of this happened between the electric light and flint, and her whole set of movements was also very fast and sharp, and she climbed out of three or four meters high in two strokes.
"What are you waiting for? Climb quickly, this rope is strong, and the weight of two people is fine. Wang Chuyi beckoned me to climb up, and at the same time climbed up quickly.
I scolded in my heart, damn you're from the Foreign Legion, and you're good, but Lao Tzu isn't that good. I grabbed the rope and climbed up little by little, just climbed more than two meters, and when I looked down, there was no place to stand under my feet, it was densely packed with tree roots, and one of the roots had begun to spread up along the rope.
I was so scared that I grabbed the rope in my hand, and my legs clamped the rope hard, and I tried my best to climb up, but the speed of movement seemed to be slower than the root, and I was sweating heavily when I saw that the root was almost hooking my ankle.
At this moment, Wang Chuyi had already climbed to the beam, and seeing that I was climbing very slowly, he threw down another rope and shouted at me, "Hold on to this rope, and I'll pull you up." ”
In this situation, the rope she threw down can be said to be my lifesaver! I grabbed the rope and found that she was still knotting at the bottom of the rope so that I could settle down.
Immediately afterwards, I felt that the rope was rising little by little, although the speed was not fast, but it was much faster than I climbed by myself, about two or three minutes, I was pulled up by Wang Chuyi on the beam, and when I looked down, those tree roots were almost about to climb up, and it was only five or six meters away from where we were standing now.
I took out my saber and cut off the climbing rope that the roots were climbing, thinking that these bastard roots were going to fall, but I didn't think that these roots had lost the traction of the rope, and still did not fall, but swayed a little to the side, and the speed became very slow, but still spreading upward.
At this time, Wang Chuyi took out a glass bottle from her backpack, which was filled with a dark yellow liquid, and the moment she opened the lid, I smelled a very familiar pungent smell.
"Kerose!"
Wang Chu nodded, poured the oil down the roots, and then looked at me.
I smiled, took out a lighter, and wanted to ignite the oil on the root of the tree directly, but I was afraid that it would be too close, and it would be troublesome if the root suddenly got entangled in my hand, so I lit the torch first, and then used the torch to ignite the oil on the root.
I saw that the flames jumped up and down, and the fire spread quickly, burning down the roots of the tree, and the roots of the tree should have felt severe pain, and quickly retreated, retracting into the dark green liquid.
When I turned my head, I met Wang Chuyi's eyes, which were full of contempt.
"Are you a man or not? Bag one. ”
Although the action just now was indeed a bit cowardly, but being so despised by a girl that she had to save some face from a man: "Fuck, you don't look at what kind of place this is, if the roots of the tree entangle me, who will protect you?" ”
Wang Chuyi rolled her eyes at me, stood up, and walked towards the end of the beam, which I followed closely until I reached the end of the beam, and found that I was still nearly twenty meters away from the wall of the tomb.
"It's over, although this beam is safe for the time being, we can't go down, we can only be trapped here." Wang Chuyi sighed, sat on the beam, and shook his arm.
I extinguished the torch and put it in my backpack, then turned on the flashlight and walked towards the other end of the beam, the closer I got to the other end of the beam, the smoother the beam, as if it had been polished by something, and when I walked to the very edge, I found a very wide wooden plank between the beam and the wall of the tomb, which just made up for the gap of 20 meters, and the other end of the wooden board turned out to be a huge stone crack, which seemed to be able to accommodate a person to pass through, so I hurriedly beckoned Wang Chuyi to come over.
"How? Follow me! ”
She leaned over, stepped on the plank with her foot, and after making sure that the plank was strong enough, she ignored me, and walked towards the rock crevice, I hurriedly followed, and also entered the rock crevice, but as soon as I came in, I smelled a pungent odor, which was not like the smell of a corpse, but like the garlic smell of garlic at home for a long time, I couldn't smell anything, I only felt that this rock crack was very weird, the whole rock crack was glowing with pale green light, and if you looked closely, this rock crack was not artificially excavated, it should be naturally formed.
But the further I went, the stronger the smell became, and I was choked and scolded, "Who the hell still carries garlic to the grave, it stinks to death." As soon as I finished speaking, the flashlight flashed twice, and it became very faint, and it seemed that the battery was about to run out.
So I took out the torch and lighter that I had just extinguished and wanted to light it, but Wang Chu snatched it one by one: "This is yellow phosphorus!" When you see an open flame, you want to burn us all here? ”
I suddenly reacted, why didn't I think it was yellow phosphorus because of such a strong garlic smell? patted his head and secretly scolded himself for being stupid, so he raised the flashlight and shone forward, "Then let's go quickly, this flashlight will run out of power soon." ”
The two of us quickened our pace and walked forward, but the crevice in the rock became narrower and narrower, and finally we could only bend over and hunch over, and at this moment, the flashlight could no longer hold on, and flashed twice and completely extinguished, but by the pale green light from the crevice, we could barely see the way clearly, so as not to hit my head against the wall.
After walking for about five or six minutes, the crevice came to an end, and it was pitch black in front of me, and I reached out to look out, but it was empty, and I didn't know how high the crevice was from the ground.
"It's the end of the day, what should I do?"
Wang Chuyi touched his backpack, "It's broken, the climbing rope is used up." ”
She probably wanted to use the rope of her backpack to probe the distance between the crack and the ground, so I took out a military shovel from my backpack with my backhand and threw it out of the gap.
In less than a second, I heard the sound of a shovel hitting the ground with a clang.
I was overjoyed, it seemed that this rock crack was not too far from the ground, so I beckoned Wang Chuyi to take my ankle, and my whole body leaned forward and reached out of the rock crevice, and my two hands touched down.
At this moment, I felt that my hand touched something, and because of the force I used too hard, I knocked the thing out, so I chuckled in my heart.
