Chapter 063: The Mission Is More Important Than Us
I have experienced it, and I naturally know that it is not pleasant, and at this time, I am especially worried about the two girls, An Beimo and Bei Qixing, I am afraid that they will not be able to stand it. For Hugo and Shen Hao, they have a bit of a schadenfreude mentality, and I guess that kind of rotation can make Shen Hao vomit directly.
No amount of speed I could pull back the rope could keep up with the speed at which they were sliding outside, and I felt a little mechanical stiffness when I pulled the rope quickly with both arms, but I still didn't feel the force in my hands.
My hands kept moving, and I was counting the time in my mind, and after nearly two minutes, I expected that the first person had rushed into the whirlpool.
Suddenly, the rope in my hand tightened without warning, and I almost missed the grip and let it slip out of my hand. That force is so great that if it weren't for my foot hooked in the stone wall, I guess even my foot that was pulled off the ground just now.
This cave is not without gravity at all, it can only be regarded as a decrease in gravity, which is estimated to have a lot to do with the whirlpool outside. I pulled the rope hard and made two loops around my wrist, and the force made me feel like my whole leg was about to be torn apart.
I gritted my teeth and insisted, saying in my heart that it seems that the force of the four people tying up together and rushing in is not ordinarily large, if the force just now is a little stronger, my leg will be useless.
It was a bit of a surprise to me, not only did I not be able to pull the rope in my hand, but on the contrary, I felt like I couldn't hold on to it. The huge force of the whirlpool is beyond my own strength, and the weight of four people is still tied to the rope, and I can still hold on to the rope without letting go of it, and I have reached the limit.
The minute was getting extra long, I was sweating profusely, my legs were starting to go numb as I hooked the stone wall, and I didn't know when a few of my teammates on the other end of the rope would be able to get through the hole.
Suddenly, another huge pulling force came from the rope. I didn't know what was going on, but I really couldn't hold on, and as soon as my palm loosened, the rope was quickly pulled outward with a huge force.
Although I couldn't see them yet, I knew that something must be wrong with them, and in a hurry, I quickly exchanged my legs hooked in the gap in the stone wall, gritted my teeth and grabbed the rope that was still slipping out of my hand, and then tightly wrapped it around my wrist twice.
I was about to be torn off by this tremendous force, my whole body was straightened, and my feet on the ground were already hanging in the air.
There was some itching in my wrist, and I looked up to see blood running down my arm, and it looked like my palm had been scratched by the taut rope.
I also wondered, I came in smoothly, why other people came in as if they were stuck somewhere.
Just when I was at a loss, I suddenly felt a slight vibration from the rope, and I was overjoyed that it was my teammate who had activated the rope climbing device. With the help of tools, they will soon be able to follow the rope to reach me.
After half a minute, the pulling force of my hand weakened significantly, and my foot fell to the ground again. I ignored the wound on my hand and began to pull the rope back with all my might. With me and the device working together, a figure above slowly approached me along the rope.
When I finally saw my own figure again, I was pleasantly surprised and shouted at the figure, "Can you see me?" Which one are you? ”
I couldn't turn on the tactical spotlights to see who was coming from above, and the other side didn't turn on any lights. There was no gravity here, and the person who came floated for a long time ignored me and didn't make any movements. I had a bad feeling coming over me!
But the good thing is that the force on the rope has been much smaller, and I guess the teammates are out of the whirlpool. I was finally able to pull out a hand and pull out my flashlight, and a beam of light appeared in the darkness, and I shone at the first teammate near me above my head.
It's Anbei Mo! I didn't expect the second person to come in after me would be her.
But now An Beimo, who was hanging on the rope, was motionless, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his limbs spread out to his side at will, and he had already fainted! Even so, she still held the strap of the 85 sniper rifle tightly in her hand, and she regarded the gun as her life!
I pulled An Beimo in with a rope, turned off the rope climbing device around her waist, and probed her pulse. Fortunately, she just fainted, and I guess she was also stunned by the whirlpool like what happened to me.
After untying An Beimo from the rope and placing him in a stable place, I continued to pull the rope. But what I saw next shocked me, because at this moment I saw a belt buckle that had been pulled and distorted appeared on the rope.
I don't know whose lock it is, and An Beimo can't tell me at this time. I was a little anxious and pulled the rope more quickly. Soon, I saw the figure of Qixing, and Qixing was still awake.
Just as I was about to ask a question, I saw Qixing's face darkened, and she was still clutching a torn seat belt in her hand.
After seeing me, Qixing smiled reluctantly, I reached out and pulled her to my side, she didn't say anything, and went over to check on An Beimo's situation.
Vaguely I had already guessed whose lock it was, and my mood suddenly darkened, and then continued to pull the rope, and soon after, the last Shen Hao was also dragged by me to the stone platform, and he was also in a coma.
Putting Shen Hao on the ground, my whole body sat down on the ground as if I had collapsed, and my legs collapsed on the ground as if I was unconscious.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with An Beimo and Shen Hao, Qixing immediately came over to check on my situation. Seeing that my hands were covered in blood, she frowned, and immediately took out a first-aid kit from her backpack to treat my wounds.
"Hugo......" I had to ask, "what the hell is going on?" ”
Qixing said while disinfecting my palm: "There are floating and flying rocks in the whirlpool, which hit Hugo's safety rope, and the others were swept away. I only grabbed his seat belt, but I didn't expect it to break, and he just disappeared before my eyes! ”
I didn't know what to say, so I waited for a while before saying, "Maybe he's still alive, let's find a way to get him back!" ”
"I also believe that he is still alive, but now the priority is to complete the task first." Once we've found what we're looking for, we'll look for Hugo. ”
I never thought that Bei Qixing would say such a thing, and I looked at her speechless for a long time in surprise.
She has known Hugo for longer than me and An Beimo, and the friendship must be deep. If it were me, I would not hesitate to choose to save people first.
Seeing me staring at her, Seven Stars knew what was going on in my heart. She said: "We have to believe in Hugo's ability, as long as there is a chance to live, he will never miss it." But getting the job done is the first thing, it's the iron discipline of the D.R.T, and none of us can break it! ”
Although I know that Beiqixing's words are right, I still have some difficulty accepting it in my heart, and I think that if the rescue is timely now, I may be able to save Hugo. But if you give up saving people for the sake of the mission, maybe Hugo will really not be able to come back.
Seeing the tangled emotions on my face, Qixing said again: "If the missing person is replaced by any of us, Hugo will also decide to focus on the task first. And we all have to accept this unconditionally, and you and An Beimo will do the same in the future. This is not because discipline is cold and unforgiving, but because the task is more important than any one of us. I hope you understand! ”
There was silence for a long time before I nodded. This discipline is contrary to my usual principles of life, and I am really reluctant to give this nod.
After that, Bei Qixing didn't explain anything, she took out a bottle and unscrewed the cap, and put it under the noses of An Beimo and Shen Hao respectively, and the two of them immediately hit a stirring spirit and sat up instantly.
When they came to their senses, Qixing handed them a capsule and said, "Take it, it will feel better!" ”
An Beimo didn't say anything, took out the water and took the capsule. Shen Hao took the capsule, and while taking the water, he complained about whether Qixing could change the way he called people next time, he was really not used to the taste.
North Qixing is the number two person in the team, and Hugo is not there at this time, so she will temporarily take over the command.
Seeing that the two people who had just woken up didn't seem to know about Hugo's disappearance, they first curiously observed the strange environment around them. And Shen Hao looked back and forth for a long time before he found that he didn't see Hugo, so he asked me again and again where Hugo and the Seven Stars were. An Beimo also looked at me and Bei Qixing in surprise.
Qixing directly said that Hugo disappeared due to an accident when he came in, and I originally thought that Shen Hao would have the same idea as me and advocate saving people. Who knew that this guy didn't say anything except for his face being a little ugly.
An Beimo was surprised by Bei Qixing and Shen Hao's reaction, and she looked at me puzzled. I knew what An Beimo was thinking, so I glanced at Bei Qixing and shook my head slightly at An Beimo.
"We're going to move on to the next task. Black Hawk, can you give us a rough idea of what is going on here? Seven Stars said to me.
Now I had to obey her instructions and tell me what had happened since I arrived.
In fact, the other people I said could also see it, but when I heard that the gravity here was extremely low, Shen Hao actually subconsciously wanted to jump curiously. I stopped him at once and glared at him.
Shen Hao also immediately realized that this was not nonsense, and smiled at me apologetically.
It's dark inside the cave, but it's much warmer than outside. Bei Qixing measured the temperature, air quality, air pressure and other environmental conditions, and after confirming that there was no problem, she took off her assault suit and only wore a high-energy combat suit with ultra-nanofiber inside.
She slapped her left shoulder twice, only to see that suddenly the high-energy combat suit on her body began to glow faintly, and it became brighter and brighter, and after a while, Qixing's whole person became like a light bulb, and she illuminated a lot around her.
The light is soft and not harsh. I looked at the glowing Northern Seven Stars in amazement, and I couldn't figure out where the light on her body came from.
Shen Hao also changed out of his combat uniform, and explained to me by the way: "This is the light emitted by the high-energy energy knot in the clothes, which can be used continuously for 300 hours, don't worry." ”
After we had turned into four "light bulbs", Seven Stars asked me, "You are our number one pioneer, and I would like to hear your opinion on the next move." ”
I had already thought about this, so I said, "This hole is very large, and I think that if the missing plane had entered here, it would have crashed deep into the bottom of the cave due to the impact force and its own weight." Since I didn't find any wreckage of the plane around, I suggested that we slip down the cave wall and maybe find traces of the missing plane. ”
We all agreed with my suggestion, so we made a pre-departure preparation. There was no loss of everyone's supplies and equipment, and we checked the weapons again, and then Qixing arranged for me to take the lead, Shen Hao took the lead, and Anbei Mo responded in the middle, and she followed behind me.
