Chapter 51: A No Man's City (48) Security
Chapter 51: No Man's City Security
Gripping the bottom of the fence with my left hand and a longitudinal protruding steel with my right hand, I tried to stick to the glass to prevent myself from slipping down. The key and the wolf tooth pendant squeezed between my chest and the glass, making me feel a little pain and make me feel their presence.
Wolf Tooth Pendant If it's a wolf tooth here, it should be easy to climb up, right? After all, with his monster-like strength and agility, he would never be trapped here like me. It's a pity that I'm the one hanging here now, and the key is also in my hand, he and Lin Ya are probably still struggling to resist the attacks of those rats, waiting for me to save them.
No, we can't wait any longer! Every second they increase the danger for every second! I can't stay here forever, if I can't climb up, I'll fall to my death sooner or later, so there's no difference between dying early and dying late, right?
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes to cheer myself up, feeling the pendant and key on my chest. When I opened my eyes, I started to move again, my right hand ran up the steel, and when I reached the top, I slammed it upwards and managed to grab a fence with my right hand. In this way, my whole body was stuck to the glass in a long strip, and I could barely feel the raised steel that I was stepping on before.
Both hands grasped the bottom of the fence hard, and they didn't dare to relax at all, and their feet moved to try to step on the glass, but it was difficult to move because the whole person was attached to the glass. The fence was rough to the touch, not made of steel, but something like cement or stone, each one not very thick, and I could grasp it with one hand. The rough surface increases the friction between my palm and it, making it easier for me to grip it, which is also a benefit.
At this time, I am really glad that the angle of the glass is not too steep, only 30 degrees, so that I can climb up, if it is a very steep angle, I am afraid that with my athletic ability, it is impossible to climb up at all.
Pull the railing in my hand with all my strength to bend my arms slightly, drive my body to pull up a little distance, and then press my knees against the glass hard, and then relax my strength and straighten my arms to move my body down while keeping the knee position still, so that my body is slightly raised on the glass, as if kneeling on the glass, it is more convenient to move.
Both arms exerted force again, and at the same time, one knee up, bent the leg and tried to step on the glass with his feet, but he didn't want to because the glass was too smooth and the friction with the sole of the shoe was too small, he tried to step on it but did not step on it, his feet slipped suddenly, the balance of his body was disrupted, and the other knee could not support and slid down, and he returned to the posture of the whole person against the glass.
Fortunately, I grasped my hands fairly firmly, and although I was startled by the slippery moment, I was lucky that the whole person did not fall and still hung on the glass. After taking a few deep breaths to calm my pounding heartbeat and thinking for a moment, I kicked off my sneakers with my feet on each other.
The sneakers were changed in the supermarket before, and I just found a pair of shoes at random, and I didn't look for a pair of socks at the time, but at this time, I could increase the friction with the glass through the bare skin.
The sneakers rolled down the glass and fell off the edge, and it was a few seconds before I heard the slight sound of the sneakers hitting the ground. The difference of a few seconds also reminded me once again of how high I am.
Swallowing nervously and fearfully, I controlled my slightly trembling body, and I tried to climb up again as I had done before. Because I didn't have sneakers, I didn't get slippery when I stepped on the glass again, but after my feet successfully stepped on the glass, I managed to climb to the roof with the strength of my arms grasping the railing.
Turning over the railing, I fell directly to the ground on the rooftop, my hands were still tightly grasping the railing and did not let go, my limbs trembled weakly, and my heart was filled with a sense of collapse that suddenly relaxed from extreme tension.
However, now was not the time for me to rest, and I struggled to get up from the ground, but I didn't succeed because my legs were weak. At this time, I didn't care if the posture looked good or not, so I had to crawl closer to the machine - after all, time was pressing, and the situation of the wolf's tooth and the forest cliff did not allow me to delay.
I don't know if there was no pipe leading directly to the rooftop, or if the rats were not intelligent enough to open the door to catch up, but fortunately, there were no more rats on the rooftop, and I successfully pressed the key to the machine and activated the device above.
When the device was activated, the huge machine came into motion, and each transmitter rotated, indicating that it was working. A faint rat cry came from under the tower and caught my attention—it must have been a loud noise, but because it came from under the tower, it was very small to reach my rooftop—and I hurried to the fence and looked down, but the darkness and such a distance made it impossible to see what was going on below, and I could only vaguely see that the ground seemed to be moving, could it be the rats running out?
Just as I was staring closely at the bottom of the tower to see what was happening, I noticed that something seemed to be falling from the air, and I subconsciously looked up, only to find that it was raining.
The roof is covered so that rainwater does not enter the roof in large quantities. It's just that with the rain falling, there is a peculiar smell in the air, which is neither bad nor bad, I can't describe the smell.
I suddenly thought of the solution written in the previous diary, the solution catalyzed by the potion and electromagnetic waves, is it all rain? I frowned and reached out to take some of the falling liquid, and found that it didn't seem to be rain, it was more viscous than rain, and I sniffed it to my nose, and found that the smell was exactly what it was emitting, and it seemed that it was not rain but potion that fell.
The machine is already working, the potion has been spilled, and what I just saw should be the scene of those rats leaving, does this mean that it is safe now? I had some expectation and some doubts, hoping it was true but also couldn't believe it, and I looked back in a daze, only to find that something was glowing behind the machine.
I cautiously looked around the machine, only to see that it was the "e" sign on the "escape gate" that was glowing.
When the sign lights up, it means that the door can be opened, so we really succeeded? Can you finally get out of here?
As soon as I thought of this, my whole body suddenly relaxed, and I almost sat down on the ground. But at this moment, there was a sound of the door being opened, and the sound was very clear in the silence, which made me startled when I had just relaxed, and quickly turned my head to look, and found that the door to the third floor was opened!
"Don't leave!"
I only relaxed when I heard Lin Ya's voice, watched Wolf Tooth and Lin Ya come out of the door, looked up and down, the two of them didn't seem to be injured, and suddenly I couldn't help but feel a burst of joy and a feeling of the rest of my life.
"Great, you're all right!" After all, they have lived and died together, and now that they are both safe, I can't help but smile, "Did those rats run away?" I just wanted to see them escape the tower, but it was too dark and far away to see clearly. ”
"Well, yes, they're all gone." Lin Ya said with a scared expression, "It was really dangerous just now, when the glass door at the staircase was broken by those adult mice, and we were still entangled with those young mice." There were so many rats that even as we tried to kill the young, they didn't slow down much. I thought I was going to die when I saw the adult rats pounce on me, but if you were fast enough, they all turned around and ran away as if they were stimulated by something when they pounced. Both the adults and the young rats ran away. ”
Lin Ya said and looked at the running machine, "It should be what role this machine plays, in short, thanks to you, you saved our lives." ”
I also followed Lin Ya's gaze to the running machine, "It's emitting electromagnetic waves, we can't feel it, but those rats can feel it." ”
"You're more useful than you think." Wolf Fang also spoke, but his mouth felt an urge to hit him, "You burned those burnt rats we saw when we came over?" ”
Isn't it me or you? I rolled my eyes silently.
"Yes, the powder is gone, and I don't use the dagger as well as yours, and I happened to find wine and lighters there, so I thought of a way to attack the fire, but although I used fire, it didn't completely kill the young mice, and finally I climbed up from the window." I said and pointed to the railing, with some inexplicable ostentation.
Hey, I know it's a bit naïve, but now that I think about it, I'm sure I'm scared, but I'm really proud of myself. After all, I can't believe I've actually done it. Even if I were to be killed now, I wouldn't want to climb again.
"Climb up? That's not easy for you. ”
The wolf tooth said and hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, his face was still stained with some mouse blood, and such a smile actually brought out a bit of coldness and evil. But this guy really can't spit out ivory in his mouth, and the white-eyed wolf can't speak, so he rolls his eyes again.
"But it's well done."
Well, sometimes a wolf also speaks something human.
"Let's go, since we can all go out, let's not stay here." Wolf Fang said as he walked to the door first, reaching out to open the sign door.
The inside of the door was white, and I couldn't see anything clearly, and I didn't know where it led.
