Death Rappel

Downhill, derived from the alpine expedition retreat protection technology, is also often used in rescue, transportation and military raids, and later evolved into extreme outdoor sports similar to rock climbing and bungee jumping. Generally speaking, it uses a rope to descend from the top of the rock wall with the help of natural drops in places such as rocks or cliffs, and the participants themselves control the speed and landing point of the descent to reach the ground. It is generally accepted that rappelling requires very strict maneuvering and skill, and at the same time, participants must overcome the fear of altitude and speed, and have the determination to move forward and persevere.

To do this kind of thing, of course, you can't do it with your bare hands. In fact, one of the indispensable pieces of equipment for downhill sports is the descender that Ji Fenghua just took out, in addition to the main lock, safety belt, static rope, etc., the most critical components of these things are brought by Ji Fenghua on his body, in triplicate, just enough to meet the needs of the royal strategy of three-person teaming. The others can be found in the power distribution room that Xiang Nanxing has just visited. The three of them asked each other, Lang Anbang naturally received such training because of his work, and Xiang Nanxing had also pestered Lang Anbang to teach him because of his interest a few years ago, and the two knew each other well. As for Miss Ji, she naturally likes excitement and will not lack such extreme sports, even if she is not a master, at least she is at the entry level.

However, the only problem now is that the speed drop they have experienced is only a few tens of meters at most.

And what was about to be in front of them was about five hundred meters in height!

In the case that the stairs can't be walked and the elevator will be plotted, the equipment that Ji Fenghua took out pointed out the third way for them, that is, to use the cable of the elevator to play rappelling directly, not to take the elevator, but to go down directly from the elevator shaft.

This is no longer an extreme sport, it is simply a game of life.

"Honestly, if you still have anything useful to use, why don't you take it out now." Xiang Nanxing patted the elevator door, turned his head to look at Ji Fenghua again, and sighed, "The idea of rappelling sounds quite interesting, but it's not feasible at all!" ”

"If it really wasn't possible, then I wouldn't have these things on me!" Ji Fenghua covered her skirt angrily, "In addition, I have already said, everything is here, can you take your eyes off my skirt Dead pervert!" ”

"Whoever told you to always hide." Xiang Nanxing muttered, but he also found that his gaze was indeed a little rude. When Ji Fenghua took out something again just now, he was curious and finally caught up with the other party's movements, it turned out that there were two sports bags tied to her thighs on both sides, and the headphones and descenders that she took out before were all packed inside. This thing is not lightweight, and it is inevitably a little inconvenient to move when tied to the feet, so Ji Fenghua basically didn't make any big moves except for that all-out assault before, and even his walking speed was much slower than usual. It's just that there is a loose skirt covering the outside, and Xiang Nanxing hasn't looked carefully, so he can't find the mystery inside until just now.

Instead, Lang Anbang looked at the things scattered on the ground and thought thoughtfully.

"Did you bring it in, or did the organizers provide it?" He asked suddenly.

Ji Fenghua smiled. "Good question." She gave Lang Anbang a thumbs up, "It seems that you are indeed aware of this incident - the answer is that the organizer provided it to me." ”

So, her role is that of a "prop provider".

This is what Ji Fenghua didn't say, and he doesn't need to say it. Xiang Nanxing was thinking about the player role just now, and these two people may have noticed the existence of division of labor and cooperation before this.

People like Lang Anbang and Xiong Kuohai can provide force support for the team, or single-handedly, directly break the level with violence that is stronger than others, while Tu Lechen and "Viper", one plays chemistry and the other plays computer, as long as they are given enough space and time, they can also play a great role in the game with their unique skills, and when the conditions are ripe, it is not impossible to clear the level alone.

Similar to them, Ji Fenghua's "prop provider" role can also meet the needs of both solo and team situations. She didn't introduce the ring to Lang Anbang, but Xiang Nanxing knew that this thing with two powerful anesthetic needles was definitely a first-class weapon in actual combat, even against Xiong Kuohai, who was extremely powerful, it was a needle down, and it was really a very targeted reinforcement for a woman like Ji Fenghua.

On top of that, some of her stuff is team-based. For example, headphones, a set of three, can still maintain communication after players are separated from each other, and are a very useful item. And the downhill equipment that was taken out at this time was obviously intended for them to use when they made a rapid descent. In this building, there are only two places where the conditions can be met, one is the elevator shaft, and the other is to pull a rope directly from the outside of the building.

With a little elimination, we know that the latter is absolutely impossible, and the way that the organizer hints at through these things is obviously the elevator shaft, which is why Ji Fenghua just said "If it is really not feasible, there will be no such things on the body".

"It's true that it's more dangerous than a normal downhill, but it's not completely impossible."

After some thought, Lang Anbang also stood on Ji Fenghua's side: "Compared with the outdoors, the environment on this side of the elevator shaft is much more stable, and there is no need to worry about dangers such as falling rocks, although the distance is longer, but there are many places to rest in the middle. ”

He looked at Xiang Nanxing and said seriously, "I think you should be fine." ”

"Well...... this"

Xiang Nanxing secretly moved his right shoulder, feeling the injury of his right arm when he moved. The effect of the anesthetic needle is still there, and although it feels a little awkward to move at this time, the pain that hinders the problem is gone, and the impact on the movement is not too great. In addition, they are only downhill at this time, not climbing upwards, and their hands do not need to exert too much force, mainly to control the speed. As long as nothing goes wrong, there is usually no situation where you need to exert a lot of force to hold it.

Overall, just be careful.

"I think I'm okay too." He replied with a smile.

"Good."

Lang Anbang showed a rare smile of approval, and he turned his head to look at Ji Fenghua, who preemptively said before he could speak: "I think I may be more skilled than you in this area." ”

The three of them quickly reached a consensus, and then they wasted no time and went straight to the next floor. Ji Fenghua has exactly three sets of equipment, as if it was prepared for players to team up to do this from the beginning. Of course, in order to make it easy to carry, many auxiliary parts are omitted, only the most critical locks and descenders. Fortunately, there are similar alternatives to other things in the power distribution room. Something like a safety helmet, there's it in there; If you have a flashlight, there is not only there, but it is also high-power, especially bright; As for gloves, there are also them, but there are only two pairs, Lang Anbang took the initiative to give them to the young couple, and he tore off the thick strip of cloth and wrapped it around his hands, even if it was a function to replace gloves.

After reaching the next floor, Lang Anbang used a crowbar to forcibly open one of the elevator doors, revealing the black hole in the elevator shaft. All the elevators had been raised to the top floor, and they stayed there after they were shut down, which is why they went out of their way to go down one level and then open the door to enter.

"Okay, let's come one by one, and open a distance of about two to three floors in the middle to prevent each other from interfering. I'm at the bottom. After Lang Anbang finished saying this, he also got his equipment ready, buckled the lock and descender to the cable, and then went into the elevator shaft. The light of the flashlight soon turned on, and he stepped on the inner wall and descended one by one, and in a moment he was able to pull enough distance.

"Alright, next is me." Ji Fenghua volunteered. The most responsible of these three people is undoubtedly the role of Lang Anbang, because he is not only responsible for opening the way in the dark, but also plays the role of the last line of insurance.

And Ji Fenghua wants to be the second person to set off, obviously with similar thoughts. She knew about Xiang Nanxing's injury, although it might not have any effect in the short rappelling, but once the distance was extended, whether he could hold on, or whether the anesthetic would disappear before reaching the ground, it was difficult to predict. She came to be the second person, at least earlier than Lang Anbang, and became Xiang Nanxing's first insurance.

When she dropped a little more, Xiang Nanxing took a deep breath and entered the finale. When his hands grasped the rope, although it had not yet begun to slide, the heat seemed to have penetrated the thick gloves and directly into his palms.

"It works."

He took a deep breath.

"The right hand is located at the back of the right waist, and holding the rope will stop the body from descending, and the right hand will descend at a constant speed under the action of gravity when it is relaxed...... Keep your upper body straight, keep your legs straight or slightly bent on the wall, and move down step by step, and don't touch any part of your body except your feet......"

As he slid and silently recited the mantra he had learned before, his movements gradually became smoother, and his once-tense mood gradually relaxed. As discussed before, every thirty meters or so, Lang Anbang will rest on the elevator door on that floor for a while, in fact, let his hands relax and wait for the two people behind him to catch up. After the break, he was the first to set off, Ji Fenghua waited a few seconds to follow, and Xiang Nanxing was the same. Just like that, they stopped and stopped, and before they knew it, they had slid all the way down a few hundred meters without incident, and they were almost to the end.

It's finally okay - when Xiang Nanxing just thought of this sentence, his ears suddenly caught a small "tick" sound. He looked up in confusion, feeling that the voice, though echoing, seemed to be sounding very close to him.

Is there an alarm clock outside? Or did some machine start?

Wait, start?

Xiang Nanxing's heart was shocked, and he kicked his feet on the inner wall, and at the same time held the rope to stop the downward trend. He was in the middle of one floor, and the kick brought him straight to the elevator door. Xiang Nanxing put his ear behind the door and listened, and when he heard this, his already somewhat shocked face was directly filled with fear.

Through the metal door, he heard the button panel restart

"Let's go!" He looked down and shouted, "Power is back!" ”

"Huh?" Ji Fenghua raised his head strangely.

At this moment, the sound of the machine starting in the distance overhead finally completed its distance of more than 400 meters.

into the ears of each of them.
