Volume 1: Afterglow of the Old World Chapter 16: Never Give Up
The parkour training of the Guangzhou copy has entered the middle game.
The first powerful mutant insect appeared at the staircase of the revolving restaurant on the top floor.
Sure enough, it is the most hated insect of human beings-cockroaches, which have no mini body shape, and have become big and disgusting, and the two tentacles are whipped back and forth like a steel whip, and the warm feeling of "Xiaoqiang" can no longer be seen.
The giant cockroach, which was more than half a man tall with a shiny black metallic back, struggled to get out of the stairwell, and the walls on both sides were shattered by its iron-solid shell, and the rubble flew apart.
The big cockroach didn't take a breath, shook its tentacles a few times, and rumbled at Jiayu, and when it was nearly ten meters away from him, the four evolution of the cockroach was completed, and the powerful hind legs kicked neatly and hard, and a pair of knife feet evolved from the front legs flashed cold light and slashed at Jiayu.
Jiayu was already standing on the railing of the TV tower, as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff, he just jumped back slightly, flew out of the top of the tower, and under the blowing of the strong wind of level 9 that was always raging in the sky, he stopped steadily for a second, shook his hand at the cockroach brother, and fell headlong......
……
……
The end point of Jiayu's parkour run this time is the International Convention and Exhibition Center, more than ten kilometers east of the TV Tower.
The shoddy glider on his body is very heavy, and the Jiayu is like a big rock, falling straight and straight without a chance to pull up.
In three seconds, Jiayu took a huge glider combination, swept over the middle of the tower, and smashed heavily into the flying insect swarm, the glider slammed into the dense flying insects, making a continuous sound like thunder, and the outer layer of adhesive tape and iron wire gradually cracked and fell off like strips of rags.
4th second
Jiayu disappeared into the sea of worms......
5th second.
It seems that after a long time, the massive insect swarm circling around the tower shattered a small opening, and a figure with fragments of flying insects shot out, under the yellow and black slime all over his body, Jiayu's expression still did not change at all, hard as an iron plate, only his eyes reflected a miserable white light.
The flying wing controlled by Jiayu was only half of the original, but it was enough to support his weight, under the gliding effect of the flying wing, he penetrated the swarm obliquely upward, his hands tried to pull the control wire, and a pair of pulleys under the glider pulled the blades upward, and under the action of the air current, he quickly climbed with Jiayu, and crossed the revolving restaurant in a few seconds, reaching the highest point of the airflow.
At this time, if someone looks up from under the thousand-meter-high tower, they can see a black shadow arrogantly spreading its wings, dancing lightly in the glow of the full moon, and swooping away into the distance.
……
When assembling the flying wings, Jiayu considered the problems of ascending, descending, hovering, and turning.
Two ropes are tied to the legs, and the steel pipe is used to pull it to the waist, and then the thin aluminum plate cut from the washing machine is used to make a rudder, Jiayu can pull his elbows left and right, and change direction with difficulty, after all, he has never flown this thing, after flying away from the tower, Jiayu lost control of his body, spinning wildly in the sky, and after a few seconds, the flying wings quickly stalled and smashed into the ground.
9th second
I don't know which wire is right, Jiayu finally maintains his balance in the air.
Good wind with strength.
After a preliminary understanding of the trick, Jiayu slowly increased his altitude and flew smoothly with the help of the air current, this time he finally found the right direction and flew straight towards the finish line, and the swarm of insects behind him was left far behind.
The first rays of the morning sun hit the face, warm, gentle but not dazzling.
Jiayu licked her lips, "It's like a poached egg...... Hungry. ”
……
The smooth flight was short-lived, and seeing that the end was approaching, Jiayu was embarrassed to find that the updraft was gone. He scolded with his middle finger: "You are ruthless enough......", and before the words fell, he fell headlong.
Fall 1 second
Just flew more than 300 meters in the air, and now he is equivalent to falling from the roof of a skyscraper with more than 40 floors, Jiayu's instant thought is: "Close your eyes and wait for death......
The icy strong wind was whapping, and Jiayu's frustrated mood calmed down, although his eyes were full of tears blown out by the cold wind, he could still vaguely see that the earth was smashed like a cauldron!
When this mountain and water were exhausted, his eyes still did not close, and they opened them deadly.
Fall 3 seconds
With a reaction time of maybe just 0.1 seconds in the last 100 meters, his eyes lit up and he found a life-saving straw.
The rudder on the leg has not been torn by the air, Jiayu pulled the control system of the connecting rope hard, rolled hard with his body, and then, ripped off the backpack on his body, the glider was closely connected to the backpack, and also left Jiayu's body at this moment, because of the effect of air resistance, the lonely flying wing actually rose a distance again, drew a beautiful arc, and disappeared into the distant sky.
Without the flying wings, the air resistance is reduced, and the falling speed of Jiayu is instantly accelerated, and it has no effect to open its arms widely.
Fall 5 seconds
At this time, it had fallen to the level of a building with more than a dozen floors.
With a hard flick, the rope with the heavy butcher's knife in his sleeve was wrapped around a section of flagpole extending outward from a skyscraper not far ahead, and Jiayu knew that success or failure was here.
He threw a knife in the air, and it was a dream to succeed without training, but he actually succeeded, and the butcher's knife was very coincidentally hung on the flagpole on the roof of the building, and the rope was taut.
There was a muffled thud.
Jiayu dragged the rope's right arm, and at this moment, the bones and flesh were torn out, and the blood burst out in the night sky.
The momentum of Jiayu's fall slowed down a little at this moment.
Jiayu didn't care about the pain of his arm being torn out, and he used his remaining left hand to throw out the claw knife with a rope, which was a very foreign fire stick, with a fork in the style of an old poker card next to it. But the grappling hook was light in weight and short in size, and after flying for a while, when it was still more than a meter away from the railing outside the balcony of the building, the inertial motion ended, and the fire stick fell diagonally downward.
6 seconds of fall
In the last 50 meters, less than four stories high, it only takes 2 seconds for Jiayu to fall into thousands of pieces on the ground like a balloon filled with water.
There was another muffled thud.
After falling for a second, the fire stick hung on the branch of the tree sticking out of the building, further relieving Jiayu's falling speed, the speed was reduced, the damage was much less, and his left shoulder joint was dislocated, leaving only a layer of skin attached.
Both arms are useless. Jiayu couldn't use his strength anymore, Jiayu bit the steel wire on the left neckline with his teeth, the steel wire drove the rope on his legs, the rudder flew out, and his legs were released.
The legs were stretched apart, and more than a dozen plastic bags were clamped on the legs, which were blown up by the wind, but the speed at which the Jiayu fell hardly changed.
The plastic bag tied to his legs made Jiayu fall head down and foot up, falling at high speed, and what his eyes saw was actually an orange sky. He felt that the thin rope in his left hand seemed to be hanging on something, and the remaining muscles and blood vessels in his left arm were also torn, and he left in an instant, and the direction of his fall changed slightly, and the legs under him were hung with ridiculous plastic bags, spinning in the sky.
At this time, Jiayu froze, and he saw that on his legs, the shaking amplitude of the plastic bag suddenly became very slow, and the weightlessness of the falling feeling was also changing, as if the falling speed of the whole person suddenly stagnated and froze in the air.
The muscles in his body became uncontrollable, and he wanted to make a head-turning motion, but his whole body did not change in the slightest. Jiayu suddenly understood that it was not that his falling speed had slowed down, but that his consciousness had reached the limit.
7.3 seconds
A black thread slipped in front of him, he didn't have time to think, he mobilized all the strength of his body, opened his mouth wide and bit hard at this thread, biting!
With all the strength to survive, bite and never relax again!
When all the teeth in his mouth were pulled out, he bit down on the gums and the fragments of his broken teeth.
13th second
When the speed of his body falling completely stopped, Jiayu found that what he was biting was an ordinary wire, and at this time, the insulating skin wrapped around the wire had been torn off by him, like a cushion piled on the side of his cheeks, preventing him from falling to the ground.
Jiayu didn't open his mouth. By this time, he already felt like he had dislocated his neck. Squinting his eyes and looking up, long traces of blood extended along the exposed copper cable, and the blood flowed down drop by drop.
Jiayu still didn't open his mouth, and squinted his eyes and looked down, and the ground was 5 or 6 meters high at his feet.
At such a height, he couldn't fall to death, but at this time, it was impossible for him to release the muscles that were occlusing, and all the muscles were spasmed. It took him half a day to relax his muscles and fall hard.
Without his arms, his jaw and neck were dislocated, the pain was no longer pain, the nerves had blocked the feeling of death, and his eyes were blown by the strong wind and he was almost blind, almost with his sixth sense, he confirmed the direction.
……
1st second on the ground
Shaking his waist, he felt that the cervical spine and lumbar spine were fine, and Jiayu thought it was still good. When I shook my body, I could see the lacerations on both sides of my shoulders, bleeding outward, like an open faucet.
Let someone slide.
Jiayu opened her legs and tried to keep her body steady. At this time, he was still thinking: "It's really hard to maintain balance without an arm." You have to get your muscles out of your brain, one, two, one, two......"
……
……
When Jiayu woke up again, he didn't know if he had reached the end, because before that, he was already unconscious.
The nebula swirled quietly in the empty room.
Jiayu began to check the parts of his body, and his arms came back, and his cheeks seemed to be moving neatly, and his teeth were good......
Shaking and shaking legs, muscle strains are healed.
The nebula projects a screen and begins to score.
The first is the stance score, the choice point score, which means that there are multiple roads to see which one you choose, the creative score, which means that when you are parkouring, your performative actions, provocative actions, and a series of useless scores, and then the brush brush begins to show various comments: you should not jump from this road, jump from the next step to save time, shorten the distance, etc.
Jiayu scratched his neck, looking indifferent, but his eyes were glued to the screen, and he was quickly comparing his thoughts at the time, the subconscious reaction of his muscles, and the prompts, improving his mistakes and learning new knowledge.
In the end, the screen showed that Jiayu's parkour escape route, the light points went up and down, one moment forward, one time backwards, one moment after another, and a big bend, returning to the place where he had just run, and Jiayu was extremely ashamed to watch.
Finally, this point of light, which represents Jiayu, climbed the TV tower and added a large triangle to represent the gliding wing. After that, the point of light jumped down, flew southeast, circled again, flew back, flew wings, cracked into two sides, and then the point of light trembled and dimmed.
At this time, he was just one step away from the finish line.
Jiayu was dumbfounded: "This is the end?" ”
Nebula didn't answer.
On the screen, dim dots of light flickered, moving little by little towards the end, as if crawling with difficulty.
Until the final sum of various scores and a conclusion of 60 points - passing, Jiayu still did not react.
Looking at the "Congratulations to the trainers for completing the task for the first time" on the screen, he still didn't react, and said in a gaffe, "This is over?" ”
Jiayu laughed wildly, laughing until he couldn't straighten his waist, laughing until tears covered his whole face, and he suddenly stopped laughing until he didn't know it.
Jiayu stood up, took a few deep breaths, and said to Nebula, "Come again, open a new copy!" ”
