Chapter Seventy-Five: The Shadow of the Rope
It's nothing just a corpse, after all, we even broke through the Zongzi family, but the sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo" in my ears sounded numb.
I took a flashlight and scanned under the dark moat, trying to find the source of these movements, but I only saw more white bones, and a patch of yellow sand hidden on it, and I couldn't find the source of the sound at all.
Chen Yun saw that I stopped, so he gently pushed me, and whispered Sima Nan, what are you doing, hurry up and climb, you can't pass the people behind you if you block the road.
I shook my head, pointed to the moat under my feet, and said have you noticed, there is no water in the moat at all, only so much yellow sand, and there are so many bones covered underground, indicating that there must have been a war in this place.
Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, and quickly swept the flashlight downward, when everyone lowered their heads together, and saw the white bones covered by the yellow sand, they couldn't help but take a breath, the people who died here were no less than the zongzi outside, you can imagine how tragic the cruel fight was back then.
Modern warfare relies on high technology as the backing and support, with precision strikes at targets as the primary pursuit, and perhaps the strategic goal has been achieved after a battle is fought with no more than 100 casualties. However, in ancient times, it was not, people in the era of cold weapons mainly relied on white-knuckle warfare, bayonets were loaded, and knives had to see blood, and its cruelty was self-evident, and the corpse was not just an exaggerated adjective in literary works.
During the Warring States Period, the killing god Bai Qi, who killed 300,000 surrendered troops of Zhao State in one battle, was recorded in the history books, and there would be no fake, and it was impossible to imagine what kind of scene it was.
And at this moment, we have a few soft ropes under our buttocks, hanging alone on top of the large pile of corpses, not to mention the impact of our hearts, almost everyone subconsciously has weak legs.
The moat is not much different from the surface, only about ten meters high, ten meters below is the invisible yellow sand, how deep should this yellow sand be? How many bones have accumulated? That's a quantity that we can't estimate.
Ge Zhuang's face was already a little pale, he turned around from the front, dragged it on my shoulder, and said with a blushing face, little pumpkin, don't look at it, turn off the flashlight, I don't know if these buddies buried below mind if we visit like this, what if we climb up and trouble us when we are in a bad mood?
My face is green, it's not that I was really scared by what he said, it's just that this guy has a stinky mouth that has been opened, and he is afraid that his nonsense will come true, so he quickly pinched his big fat ass, and said dead fat, you close your stinky mouth, and then talk nonsense that Lao Tzu will get you down first!
When going down to the tomb, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, there are some taboos that you can't commit, this dead fat man's mouth is broken, and he chooses all the ugly words, Chen Yun and I can't help but glance at him fiercely. Ge Zhuang is bored with himself, he said, fat man, can't I shut up?
He complained, turned around and grabbed the rope and continued to climb forward, climbing less than half a meter, suddenly there was a "click" sound in front of him, and then half of Ge Zhuang's body sank, and the nylon rope under his hand collapsed with a big iron lump, and fell directly under the moat with a drop of more than ten meters, smashing the head of a corpse.
"it!"
Ge Zhuang screamed in fright, and quickly grabbed the remaining rope with his hand. There are a total of six nylon ropes fixed by us at both ends, and the loss of one does not have much effect, but this movement scares everyone to urinate, and they all maintain a prostrate posture by holding the rope under their feet.
Chen Yun took a breath and said Sima Nan, why is your grappling hook loose? What if it's not fixed well and everyone falls off the moat?
My face turned pale, and I quickly said that I didn't say anything, I loosened a grappling hook, and there are still five left, let's climb quickly, and get out of here quickly.
To be honest, a few of us are hanging on this moat like grasshoppers, and I am also hanging in my heart, I am afraid that the grappling hook will not be able to hold on, and everyone will fall into the moat together, and there will be yellow sand under the ten meter drop, although it will not kill people, but so many corpses are piled up below, no one wants to go down to taste it.
"Let's go, fatty, don't get in the way!" Thinking of this, I hurriedly pushed Ge Zhuang in front of me, the dead fat man was holding the remaining nylon rope, the dark face plate was frightened into white paste, hearing my urging, he hurriedly arched his butt forward, crawling at the end of the rope like a maggot.
I was so angry that I almost scolded my mother, and I couldn't help but pinch his big ass again, saying that you want a rope? Hurry up, climb quickly.
I scolded, and before Ge Zhuang could respond to me, the grappling hook in front of me "clicked", and then the second rope was broken, and when the black grappling hook pulled one end of the rope and fell under the moat for the second time, everyone's breathing became short.
"Damn, Sima Nan, you are a, what kind of inferior products did you bring? You sincerely pit everyone! I heard Lu Chuan behind him howling and crying, followed by a "whooshing" sound of water, and when I looked back, this kid hugged his body with a pale face, his body swayed along the nylon rope, his pants and crotch were wet, and he actually peed.
Two of the six grappling hooks were broken, this is not a good thing, the remaining four or eight claw hooks may not be able to withstand the weight of so many people, my face is not very good-looking, I noticed the rope that was slowly sagging, I didn't care about it with Lu Chuan, and hurriedly shouted,
"Hurry, everyone hurry up and climb, the front will soon be here, and the rope in a hurry is going to fall!"
I didn't need to say hello at all, everyone pushed their legs forward desperately, and six people supported their upper bodies at the same time, at this time there was a "click" in their ears, the rope head drooped, and everyone collectively deviated to the left, leaving us with a place to settle down has become narrower and narrower.
"Damn, you're so fast to crawl, fat man!" Lu Chuan was so frightened that he changed his voice, Ge Zhuang blocked the front and slowed down the progress of the entire team, and now there are only three ropes left to support us, if he doesn't climb to the end, the people behind him can only hang in the air like a grasshopper.
"The fat man knows, I don't need you to remind me!" Time was pressing, Ge Zhuang also knew that this was not a joke, he used his hands and feet together, the first one jumped to the other end of the moat, followed by me, almost in front of my feet, my toes also stepped on the solid rock formation, I didn't care to take a breath, and hurriedly made room for the person behind me, but Ge Zhuang, who was the first to rush to the front, let out an exclamation at this time,
"Damn, what's that?"
I was startled by Ge Zhuang's roar, hurriedly raised my head, the flashlight was strong, and I suddenly saw a black shadow lying in front of me, the grappling hook that fell down before did not fall because it couldn't fix the slate, there was a black shadow lying there gnawing rope!
To be precise, he gnawed not on the rope, but on the grappling hook fixed in the crack of the slate, and after the "click, click, click", the stiff slate turned into powder, and the gnawed stones dripped down the corners of the black shadow's mouth.
I'm ri!
Ge Zhuang roared, shook his hand and held the gun, and fired at the black shadow.
The bullet pierced through the stone slab, and the black shadow rolled and leaped into the city on all fours. And then, the iron hook on the stone slab also bounced up, and drew a rut mark under the drag of the rope, like a python soaring into the air, straightening its tail in the air, and falling under the cliff mouth of the moat.
Ahh
After the collective outburst of exclamations, only the two grappling hooks left fell off because they couldn't bear the weight of the four people, and the four people who didn't have time to step on the case fell like dumplings, and fell down the moat with a scream.
