Chapter 100: Life hangs by a thread

It turned out that what Lu Dachuan said was not as difficult as I imagined, first use a rope thrower to shoot the mountaineering rope to another tree crown, and then pull the rope tightly and fix our end to death, and then we climbed along the rope, it is really impossible to jump at a distance of seven or eight meters, it is much easier with the help of tools, but the danger factor is also quite high, especially the first two people who cross the river and the last to pass, because the crown is not a mountain rock after all, and the thrown rope is likely to be just hanging on a half-thick branch that cannot carry the weight of a person. We don't feel a problem when we tighten the rope, but when the person climbs on the rope it suddenly breaks, or some other reason causes it to break away suddenly, and the last person can't climb along the rope, for the simple reason that he is responsible for retracting the rope, that is, he must first untie the rope tied to the tree, and then grab the rope and volley it over.

Figuring out these points, the heavy responsibility of taking the lead naturally falls on Liu Chang's shoulders, and Lu Dachuan is even more sidelined in the finishing work, after being assigned in this way, I don't mind being classified as a female streamer and crawling over relatively completely, of course, it's not that I'm too timid to walk in front or last, it's not that I don't want to take part of the responsibility, but Liu Changjiao and Lu Dachuan can better ensure our safety if they do it, so that if something goes wrong, it will be the two of them who will be affected.

Finally, there is the question of going that way, it is said that the island is full of zombies, and we can't go any deeper, but the giant ship has already driven away, and there is no way out if we go back, and we may fall into the dilemma of zombies and giant creatures in the dark river, but it seems inappropriate to choose to continue to march towards the center of Atlantis, one is that it will not be able to go down to the ground at all and will be surrounded by zombies; Second, if you go directly inward, the scarcity of trees, the greater the distance between the canopy, and the risk factor will continue to increase.

After discussing and discussing, we decided to retreat to the bank of the river first, and lead the zombies to the forest on the shore, and then we turned around and walked towards the center of the island, which had several advantages, first of all, if we could retreat to the forest next to the dark river, we would climb from tree to tree, with the density of that forest, it would be easy to do without ropes, and secondly, the low ferns in the forest were luxuriant, and the zombies with stiff limbs would inevitably be greatly affected if they wanted to go back and chase us after entering, and finally and most importantly, We want to attract crocodiles and walking cancers and get them to kill all these zombies.

When everything was settled, Lu Dachuan said: "Long legs, open the way." ”

Liu Changleg quickly took out the rope thrower and aimed it at the crown of a tree we had selected.

I suddenly thought of a question and hurriedly asked, "How do I cross the canal?" ”

Lu Dachuan said: "Don't worry about this, the canal is a moat for zombies, and when they get to the river, they have to find the bridge before they can cross the river, which not only allows us to buy more time, but also the bridge deck of several meters wide temporarily makes them lose their numerical advantage, whether we rush from the bridge or throw the rope thrower directly to the opposite bank, it is not a problem." ”

Hearing that Lu Dachuan had already thought about it, my heart returned to my stomach,

At this time, Liu Chang's legs have been tied to the rope, he did it very skillfully, originally the forest we stepped into was estimated to be within the range of the original Atlanteans' intensive activities, and the trees that grew up later were scattered and not many to choose from, but Liu Longleg climbed to the place where the tree we were in was possible, and shot the rope to the other tree as low as possible, so that the rope was pulled straight and had a great slope, and it could be glided effortlessly on the pulley,

Liu Changjiao and Lu Dachuan are old partners, and they know each other's strength quite well, unlike me, sometimes they are surprised by their extraordinary performance, and sometimes their brains can't turn around to scare them to death, but this time the situation is really special, in case of a mistake and falling, only dead but not alive, so Lu Dachuan pulled the rope tied to Liu Changleg again and again, until the entire canopy on the opposite side shook and the rope still didn't fall off before letting Liu Changleg slide over,

Liu Changleg hung the buckle of the seat belt on the pulley, we helped him check the auxiliary rope tied to his waist in case of an emergency can pull him back in time and retrieve the pulley can be released smoothly, and then he grabbed the pulley with both hands, turned his face and said hello to us, his legs contracted and kicked violently and slid to the opposite canopy at a very fast speed.

In less than a minute, with the sound of a branch breaking, Liu Chang's entire figure disappeared into the lush branches and leaves, and then the branches and leaves shook for a long time, Liu Changjiao cut off the branches that blocked the view, we saw him make an OK gesture at us, retracted the pulley tied by the auxiliary rope, and prepared to pass the next one,

Lin Xian'er was second, Lu Keqin was third, and I was fourth, with Liu Chang's legs, we all slid safely within a few minutes.

In the end, Lu Dachuan was left, he first turned the backpack over, and then untied the rope on his side, and we untied the rope that was reinforced by Liu Chang's legs, and tied it as high as possible to ensure that the length of the rope could prevent his body from plunging into the zombie pile after volleying,

After making these preparations, we couldn't help but get nervous, and really sweated for him, Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er twisted their faces to the side and didn't dare to look at it, I and Long Legs widened our eyes to prevent any mistakes from being rescued in time.

Compared with us, Lu Dachuan was much more relaxed, he whistled at us very chicly, grabbed the rope tied to him at the end of the rope and jumped away from the tree, watching the body of such a big man being tied to a thin rope swinging around in the air, the first few times each of the amplitude exceeded 180 °, my heart was about to jump out, for fear that the rope would not be able to withstand such a big pull and suddenly break, he would fly out like a cannonball,

When Lu Dachuan stopped swinging, the four of us pulled him up with all hands and feet, there was no way to sit upright, almost collapsed on the branches, after a while, I felt cold, and I found that the clothes on my body were soaked with sweat from the inside out.

In retrospect, the process was a real one, but even then we had to continue, and we didn't even dare to rest for a while, because the half-rotten bodies of those guys under the tree looked stiff and clumsy, but the sensitivity of their facial features didn't seem to be affected much, and in this short time, their fronts had turned to the tree we were.

To make a long story short, in about an hour we crossed the five tree tops according to the gourd painting, although there were still so many zombies under the trees, and we still couldn't see the shadow of the canal in the distance, but fortunately we finally retreated into the densely wooded forest, a large area of leafy canopy without distinguishing between you and me, no longer need ropes to easily step from one tree to another, so that we will not lose confidence,

We rode on the branches and rested for a while, ate a few compressed biscuits, drank some water, and quickly got up and climbed the branches like monkeys and continued to walk.

After that thrilling feeling passed, people's words became more, first talking about the thrilling scene of seeing Lu Dachuan passing through each tree just now, how our hearts couldn't stand the beat, cold sweat and other "nonsense", and then talked about the zombies under the tree, for their appearance is definitely an elusive mystery more elusive than ghosts, especially on the island of Atlantis that sank more than 10,000 years ago, why their bodies were buried in the soil for so many years without decaying, Under the call of ghosts, they can also emerge from the soil and become zombies, of course, until we can't find a clear answer, discussing these just makes us more curious, and then we talk about the most important thing for us, how do we get out of the ground,

One thing after another happened that forced us to rush and get tired of running for our lives, so that we didn't have time to think about this, although we are also running for our lives now, but relatively speaking, we are still relatively relaxed, no matter how powerful the zombie is, it can't climb the tree, and there are no dangerous animals on the top of the tree, so the tense nerves are temporarily relaxed, and I am infinitely worried about what the road will be like in the future.

At this time, Lu Dachuan enlightened us, in such a dark environment, Yang Hongqi can live alone, even if so many of us can't find a way out, solve these zombies, we won't die immediately on this land, and we can always find a way out when there is enough time,

In short, people's survival is always very strong, under Lu Dachuan's simple persuasion, we are full of confidence again,

The advantage of climbing forward between the canopies connected together is that there is not much danger, but the disadvantage is that we always have to keep climbing up and down, and we have to cut off the small branches and leaves that get in the way around us when we walk from one branch to the next, so the walking speed is slow and tiring, and when we climb to the third tree, we are a little physically exhausted.

The zombies under the tree did not slow down the pace of chasing us because of our lack of physical strength, so that we didn't dare to say rest easily, gritted our teeth and insisted on moving forward, as a result, when Lu Keqin climbed from a low branch to a high branch, both feet were hanging in the air, but her arms couldn't pull her body up at once, she wanted to go back to the branch below, she panicked and stepped into the air again, screamed and fell down,

Seeing that she couldn't go up, I took a step closer and was ready to hold her hanging legs in the air and send her up, but I didn't expect that I hadn't stood firm and she had fallen down, I opened my arms in a hurry and pounced, grabbed her and bent my legs on a branch with experience to prevent us from falling into the zombie pile,

Lu Dachuan and they hurried over, pulled us up to check if we were seriously injured, Lu Keqin fell with one foot in the air, knocked off a piece of skin on his leg, and a few shallow blood marks were scratched by thin branches on one side of his face, and the rest of his body was fine.

I looked at her and said that she was fine, and as long as she didn't get infected, she couldn't leave a scar, and I let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's really a blessing." ”

"It's a great luck, if you go deeper, your kid's arm won't be able to move for ten days and a half months."

Lu Dachuan, who bandaged my wound, suddenly came out with such a sentence that scared me into a cold sweat, and the sharp tip of a dry branch on my left shoulder that was broken by Lu Keqin pierced a hole, the pain was certain, but I didn't expect it to be so serious, after Lu Dachuan said that I looked down and found that half of my clothes were wet with blood.

However, seeing that Lu Keqin's pale face never left me after being rescued, I think it's worth it.

Lu Dachuan wrapped my wound, pulled up my clothes and said, "Try it by moving gently." ”

I raised my arm and spun around, except for the pain, I didn't feel anything inflexible, and the tension eased.

Liu Changleg said: "You can't rush like this, it's too dangerous." ”

Lu Dachuan nodded: "There are still a lot of compressed biscuits, save some water, and there will be no big problem if you don't go down for three or five days." ”

So we each chose a thicker branch, and rode on it with our backs to the main trunk to rest, and after about twenty minutes, we recovered and prepared to continue walking, when I accidentally looked down and saw a small black snake crawling on the blood-red snake bone in my waist.
