Chapter Ninety-Five: Tools
"What's wrong?" Robert was also shocked in his heart, he didn't expect the expedition to be frustrated at the beginning, this is not a good start: "How many meters is it now?" ”
“800!” Tomoki Kobayashi looked at the scale.
"Hey, Orlan? What's next? Robert asked, taking the intercom.
After a few noises, Oran's voice came from the intercom: "Boss, I'm afraid I can't go any further!" ”
Anyone could hear the exhaustion and fear in Orlan's voice, as if he was in great danger.
"Oran, listen to me, are you in danger now?" Robert tries to calm Orlan down.
"I didn't ...... No! Oran had to admit that there was really no danger other than an inexplicable fear so far, so he had to admit it.
"Oran, aren't we professionally trained before we set off, and we won't hold back for psychological reasons? You're only 800 meters now, and the record is 821 meters, which means that there is still 21 meters to go and there is no danger. This expedition was not only a test of our abilities, but also a torture of our hearts. You're going to hold on! ”
After some explanation from Robert, Orlan really agreed to continue walking. It's just that this time it's slow, sliding inch by inch.
Everyone has long been in the mood to talk and laugh, some are nervously staring at the dark valley, and some are looking at the coil.
The intercom kept talking, so the people above could hear murmurs from time to time, as well as Oran's heavy breathing.
810 m ......
815 m ......
820 m ......
"Stop!"
Voices finally came from the intercom again.
"What's wrong?" Robert snatched the intercom.
"Boss......" Oran said at this point, and he couldn't say any more.
"Oran, hold on! It's almost victory! Robert kept cheering: "How long is it from the bottom?" ”
"I don't know! Can't see it! Oran's teeth were knocked together.
"Do you hold on one more meter?" Robert pleaded.
"Okay!" Oran compromised.
821 meters.
Finally reached the record of the previous expedition.
"Boss, I really don't have the courage to go down, let me go up!" Oran's voice was full of forbearance, as if he was on the verge of collapse.
"Come on!" Robert heaped Tomoki Kobayashi waved.
Tomoki Kobayashi understood, reversed the motor and began to retract the rope.
"Hey, what a pity!" Robert lamented.
It didn't take long for Orlan to pull up. I couldn't wait to climb on the ground and lie forward, regardless of it, my limbs were wide open, and my chest moved up and down greatly......
"Drink saliva! Tell me what's wrong? Robert handed Orlan a bottle of water.
Oran took it and swallowed a big mouthful, and then he said with palpitations: "It's terrible! ”
"What's scary? There has to be something specific and scary, right? Robert asked.
"I can't say it, I just think it's terrible, and I don't dare to look down again! It's horrible! Although Oran also felt embarrassed to say this, but the facts are the facts, and he can't help it.
"I'll go down and try!" Amy looked disdainful: "A big man doesn't have any guts!" As he spoke, he put his gear on himself.
"Be careful!" Orlan also felt that he had no face, so he just gave a word and didn't say anything more.
Amy jumped in style.
With a wave of Robert's hand, Tomoki Kobayashi began to drop the rope down.
Because of Amy's gender, the speed of putting the rope is a little slower.
Robert also had great hopes for Amy: "Don't look at Amy's young age, but she has a lot of experience. It's the daughter of my old friend Vicente, who has been running around the world with her dad since she was a child, so there will be no problem! ”
"I don't know if it's comforting myself!" Slender waist obviously didn't take Robert's words seriously: "Young? I see that the folds of my face are almost 30! ”
Zhang Xiaofo's evaluation of the thin waist is silent, and women will always be picky about other women.
500 m ......
600 m ......
800 m ......
Amy didn't shout to stop, but her breathing revealed that she wasn't easy at this time.
820 m ......
821m......
"Stop!" Amy finally couldn't help it anymore and shouted to stop.
"What's wrong?" Robert also thought it was strange that Oran was understandable for this, but why would this happen to Emina, a very experienced expedition member.
"Pull me up!" Amy's voice was soft, but the urgency could not be ignored.
Amy was quickly pulled up, a little better than Orlan, but she was also trembling on all fours, and pursed her lips tightly.
"What's down there?" Robert couldn't help but hesitate.
"Zhang Xiaofo, it's your turn!" The thin waist said to Zhang Xiaofo with a smile.
"Him?"
Sure enough, as soon as the thin waist spoke, everyone's eyes looking at Zhang Xiaofo became contemptuous.
"Miss Slender Waist, Mr. Zhang's health is not very good! It's dangerous! Robert advised.
The thin waist didn't say anything, just looked at Zhang Xiaofo with a smile.
Zhang Xiaofo knew that the debt had to be repaid, so he got up and took off the blanket.
"Mr. Zhang, don't force it! You're not professionally trained, no!" In the end, Robert is still a little human, worried about Zhang Xiaofo's body.
"It's okay!" Zhang Xiaofo smiled and asked Robert to bring an expedition member's costume and change it on. It's not that ordinary clothes can't work, it's that Zhang Xiaofo feels that the temperature below must be low, and wearing professional clothes has the effect of keeping warm.
Zhang Xiaofo wore every piece of clothing carefully, and his thin waist was not in a hurry, watching from the side.
"That's it!" Zhang Xiaofo stretched his slender limbs and put himself on equipment.
"Wait, I'll go with you!" The thin waist also tied himself at the last moment.
"This ...... Miss Slender Waist is not safe! Robert was in a hurry.
"It's fine!" The thin waist smiled shyly and gestured to Tooki Kobayashi.
The rope slowly lowered.
At first, there was some vegetation on the walls of the valley, but gradually it became the root system of some plants.
With the searchlight overhead, Zhang Xiaofo was able to see some of the conditions in the valley.
The soles of the feet are suspended in the air, and the wind blows from time to time, blowing the rope from side to side, and the brightness above the head is getting farther and farther away, giving people a feeling of isolating time and space.
"See what?" Thin waist asked on it.
"I think it's amazing! Human beings are small in the face of nature. The magic of nature is indeed not something that can be imitated by human beings! ”
The thin waist was dumbfounded, but I didn't expect Zhang Xiaofo to come to this conclusion: "Can you be serious?" ”
"Yes, but you'll have to tell me the truth now!" Zhang Xiaofo is very stable and not affected by the darkness around him at all.
"What truth?" Slender waist was asked all of a sudden.
"We're just going to another dimension? What if you encounter danger? You have to have a tool or two, right? Zhang Xiaofo didn't want to lie when he saw the thin waist, and he was stunned for a moment.
