The penlight in my mouth shone very close to his face, and I could clearly see the change in the expression on his face, a very subtle change, not nervous, but a little relaxed or relieved.

"Then drop me here or push me down. I think you'll choose the former, you don't have the guts to kill. Squad Leader Liu sneered and said.

I didn't answer him, I took the morphine into my arms, grabbed the raised rock in the crack with both hands, and said to him, "Climb on my back, be careful, don't fall yourself." ”

Squad Leader Liu looked at me in surprise and said, "In this way, both of us will die, and I won't say anything to you if you do this." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you haven't completed the task yet, you have to take Song Guilong out. This is not only the task of Company Commander Li, but also the task of you and me. I said to him impatiently, "I won't last long, don't kill us both." Hurry up! ”

Squad Leader Liu did not insist on sending me to death, and his right arm hooked my neck. As his feet left the support point, I felt my body stretch out and almost fall. I don't have the experience of climbing alone, and I think very few people have this experience.

I'm glad I didn't climb up, or I would have collapsed right away. Squad Leader Liu only had his right hand to hold my neck hard, and I felt that I would be suffocated to death, and I didn't need to fall to death at all.

I desperately let out a faint voice: "You want to strangle me." ”

The creature seemed to think for a moment before he understood what I was talking about, let go of the arm that had almost strangled me, grabbed the strap of my sleeping bag with his right hand, and stuck both feet on my waist. Now it's okay, I can catch my breath, this position tightens the two of us, and we are destined to go down together, whether it is climbing down or falling.

I had to get as close to the cress as possible, and any outward gesture could drag us both down the abyss, and the flashlight would be a burden to me. I raised my head and made a whining sound in my mouth, and squad leader Liu reacted quickly this time, and immediately took the flashlight and bit into his mouth.

He poked his head out to the side, and the faint light of the flashlight shone a little below, and I took advantage of this light and began to climb down. The cliffs formed by the cracks are steep, but not smooth, and there are many places to settle and pick with your hands. The problem is that there is no way to determine whether the bulges under your feet are strong or not, and there are many loose places. It stands to reason that I climbed down the place where Platoon Leader Zhao had climbed, and the stones that were too loose and too dangerous had been lifted by them. But now we are the weight of two people, and the people who went to the thunder in front of us are neither so heavy, nor would they have thought that I would carry Squad Leader Liu on my back, so in the process of climbing down, I will still step on some stones that are not very strong. I could only crawl down slowly, fighting death with every step.

It wasn't long down before I could feel that the distance in a straight line would not be more than ten meters, and I ran into a problem that suffocated me, and the crack expanded outwards from here. In other words, if we continue to go down, we will inevitably be in a semi-suspended state, and my focus will be shifted from my legs to my hands. Those who have experience in rock climbing should know that in the process of rock climbing, especially for long-term and long-distance climbing, the full and maximum use of leg strength is the most reasonable and successful guarantee. Because the strength of the lower limbs is much stronger than the strength of the upper limbs.

Our flashlight was so weak that not to mention the bottom of the crack, even under our feet, I couldn't determine how exaggerated this expanding trend was, and how long the distance was. But I see that this situation is really a bit broken.

Squad Leader Liu also collapsed when he saw this situation. He climbed on my back and didn't dare to move, so he handed the flashlight in his hand and said, "Do you want me to jump?" ”

I couldn't tell if he was joking or serious, but I didn't have the slightest intention of teasing. "I'm holding on to see if I can go down, if it really doesn't work, you can jump."

", you really made me jump." Squad leader Liu scolded angrily, his voice was not loud, more like he was complaining.

I felt like a ferryman hanging in the middle of a rope, exhausted with no end in sight. I knew that there was no turning back, so I turned my neck and bared my teeth at squad leader Liu, showing a terrifying smile, "If you don't want to die, show me the road clearly." ”

I shook my hands alternately, my right hand gripped a strong gap, and my left foot went down to a raised stone layer, and then my body sank into the air. Fortunately, my right foot was propped up on a rock, and I didn't lose control when I was stretched out, but my whole body slammed outward, and I felt like I was about to fly out. Squad leader Liu climbed on my back all the way down, and also had some experience, although one hand was useless, it was still tightly glued to my back, and there was no distance between us because of my sudden stumbling. If he didn't grasp the second fall force, I can't guarantee that I can maintain my balance.

Because the two of us hugged each other very tightly, there was really a heart-to-heart exchange. Our hearts beat like two drumsticks on a drum surface, and the most intense drum beats were struck.

I stretched out my left foot and tried to step on a solid stone to stabilize my body completely. At this time, squad leader Liu said very seriously: "Say it when you can't hold on." ”

I understood what he meant, and I knew that if it went on like this, there would be a moment. But the weak side of my character, or the side that is not decisive enough, makes it difficult for me to say this. This kind of character is a fatal wound for a person who has achieved great things, and it doesn't matter to me, a small person, because under normal circumstances, we don't encounter it in our lifetime, and we need to decide the moment of life and death of others.

I took a deep breath and said, "We're going to live." ”

This sentence is actually said to myself, and I want to make myself firm in my will at this time. After I finished saying this, I heard squad leader Liu breathe softly. It seems that in the face of death, everyone's mind is under great pressure.

The width of the crack is no longer visible here, which is of course due to the poor light of our penlight, and the increasing width of the crack is also the main reason. I was slow and my hands were carrying too much weight, and the only comfort I was that there were many gaps in the cracks and cliffs that allowed my hands to grip them, and the large gaps allowed me to stand on my feet for a short time and have a chance to rest my arms.

Fortunately, the crack that spread outward was not long, and in my state of physical exhaustion and mental numbness, I suddenly found that I could stand upright against the cliff. After my legs took up the main force, I almost fainted with my arms collapsed, and my arms hung down and leaned into a gap. I stood motionless for more than ten minutes, and squad leader Liu said in the back: "Don't fall asleep." ”

"Nope." I said, "But I really want to sleep." ”
