Chapter 39: The Iron Rope
Brother Hao seemed to sense something, and whispered to me, "Is his amnesia good?" How else would he know what he looked like? β
At this moment, my attention was all focused on the photo, so I replied without thinking: "He remembered after you got into the water, and he wanted to tease you!" β
Unexpectedly, Brother Hao not only did not get angry, but also showed a happy smile, saying that it was good to recover his memory. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info this stupid guy is really naΓ―ve, I really don't understand that he can hide something from us.
"Look at this photo should have been taken a long time ago, and the date on the letter is also 1973, could it be that Xiaolu, you are a person of that era, in fact, you are now in your eighties, and you can live forever?" Brother Hao said with a smile.
Listening to him say this, I really think it's possible, after all, the current plastic surgery technology is so developed, Lalapi can look younger, if Xiaolu is really an uncle, I don't want to accept anything.
But if there really is a person in the world who looks exactly like the fawn, it is not impossible. The universe is so big, maybe there are more people who bump into each other, but they haven't met each other.
"Could this person who looks the same as you be Cao Haihua?" I asked.
"Anyone with seven people in the photo could be Cao Haihua, but it doesn't matter, I just wonder why he looks so similar to me." The fawn held her chin in contemplation.
"It's not the same, it's exactly the same!" I said.
No matter who looks like whom, the most critical issue now is that we have to get out quickly, otherwise the gap will really close later, and we will have to discuss it in front of Lord Yama.
I snatched the picture from the fawn's hand and asked him to hurry up and move the stones, but he reluctantly stretched his waist and looked at me listlessly.
I didn't have the heart to play with him, so I turned around and continued to clean the rift with Brother Hao.
There were a lot of stones, and we were already strained, so the efficiency was very low, and some of the gravel was unusually sharp, grinding my hands into several bloody marks.
Half an hour passed, and we were finally done, and we could barely get through the rift.
Bypassing the stone piles, we were stunned by the sight before us.
It's a cylindrical structure, a bit like a bunker. There were some bone remains and black slag scattered on the ground, and the walls around it were bare and empty. Above the head, about two meters above the ground, there are hundreds of iron cables, which have no rules to follow. Many of the cables in our visual range have rusted and broken, and only some of them are still relatively intact.
Further up, there is almost nothing to be seen, but it is certain that it is very high, and I guess it must have been built inside the mountain, because from the waterfall to here, we are almost close to the ground, and if it weren't for the mountain, such a tall building would have been discovered long ago.
Brother Hao probed around and said that these walls were very thick, and there should be no other way to go except for the gap when we came in.
"Looks like we're going to have to climb up from here? Oh my God, how could you climb up so high! I complained.
I took a general look, and except for the ones that had been broken, the distance between the remaining iron cables was not far, and if I was careful enough, I could definitely climb up.
But the problem is that if you climb up, you have to rely on these iron cables, but judging from the degree of rust they are, it seems that they are not safe, in case you climb halfway, the iron cables suddenly break, but you will have to break your bones.
We discussed it for a while and decided that there was no other way out than to climb up.
Brother Hao picked us up, sent us to the top first, and then jumped lightly, grabbed the iron cable, hooked his feet to the top with the strength of his waist, and as soon as he turned over, he came to us.
The rope is very thick, as if it is embedded in the wall, so the shaking is not violent. I was worried that one iron cable could not bear the weight of three people at the same time, so I asked Brother Hao to go up first, and we followed him, followed his route, held on to the iron rope above, and climbed up one by one.
This process is quite physically demanding, about 20 meters high, I am already too tired, look down and look down, Mom, it's too scary! I just felt dizzy, I felt like there was nothing under my feet, I was completely in a state of floating, and dozens of iron cables were intertwined with each other, as if I was going to hell.
"Don't look down!" Brother Hao shouted at us.
I took a deep breath, mustered up my courage, and continued to climb up.
I don't know how long I climbed, but suddenly, my feet were empty, the iron chain broke, and the whole person sank in an instant. I screamed in fright, grabbed a chain, and scribbled my feet in the air, feeling like I was about to die.
Seeing this, the fawn hurriedly lay down, grabbed me and pulled me up, but his strength was too small to work at all, but he pulled my wrist red.
"Can you exert some strength, as if you haven't eaten!" I grinned.
"I haven't eaten in the first place, where is the strength! If you yell, I'll let it go! Xiaolu said dissatisfied.
At this time, Brother Hao jumped down, only to see that he was as light as a swallow, and landed smoothly beside the deer, and the iron rope trembled violently, but he was unharmed.
I gradually lost some physical strength, my hands began to weaken, looking at the height under my feet, I broke out in a cold sweat, thinking of Lu Jie's death, my whole body trembled involuntarily.
Brother Hao grabbed my arm and pulled it up vigorously while shouting, "Waist strength, swing your feet up!" β
I knew what he meant at once, but no matter how hard I tried, my feet just didn't obey me and kept pointing straight at the ground.
I was so scared that I was about to cry, and I secretly cursed myself for being useless, and watching them pull me up with red faces, I suddenly felt very sorry for them, if it wasn't for me, everything wouldn't be like this. Maybe I should have been eaten by the mother worm in the tunnel, saving them a burden.
Thinking like this, I was a little unwilling, so I gritted my teeth and burst out with the power of the wilderness, pulling upward, and at the same time, they also took advantage of the situation and pulled me up at once. It was really not easy, I was finally saved.
Before we could recover our senses, in an instant, a piercing roar erupted, and at the same time, the iron rope under our feet suddenly became loose as if it had been broken. We all lost our center of gravity in an instant and fell.
I said in my heart that this is really the end, I can't save me, and I took two lives in vain.
The feeling of weightlessness didn't last long, and in less than a second, there was a piercing pain in my back, and I only felt like I had fallen heavily to the ground, and my spine was about to break.
No, how could it land so quickly, according to the gravitational acceleration, it would take a few seconds to say the least. I opened my eyes with trepidation, only to find myself lying on the edge of a certain step, the iron rope on it was shrinking, and with a loud bang, the steps came out of the wall one after another, and spread upwards in circles, like a giant dragon hovering into the air, until the end.
