Danger is fraught
Let's move forward again. Although there were no small flowers and grasses around me, just a large barren area full of devastation, I relaxed a lot. At this time, Amanda lowered her head and said nothing, as if she had something on her mind.
I was wondering if I should ask, but Amanda glanced at me and stammered, "We've been lucky enough to cross a level, but ...... There is also the last level, how to say, and the most ...... The most unbearable level. ”
"What?!" I was almost exclaiming, could it be that there are some other big rivers and rivers that can kill us and wait for us?!
Amanda raised her right hand and pointed ahead. "That's where the big problem is."
I looked in the direction of Amanda's finger and hey! Isn't it just a big garbage dump? As far as the eye can see, a huge garbage dump stands solemnly not far ahead. However, no matter how much I looked, I couldn't see anything special about this garbage dump, except that it was closed tightly enough. We came closer, and now rows of thick stainless steel gates stood in front of us.
"Behind these stainless steel gates is a garbage dump that is filthy and rotten, and has an unusually bad smell." Amanda looked at me tentatively, "But it also has an unbeatable advantage. Once we pass through this large garbage dump, even the fearless camp will be useless, and our whereabouts and smells will be completely annihilated in this vast garbage heap, and even the most sensitive and alert large hunting dogs with a sense of smell and action can only be helpless. Behind this large garbage dump is a place where people without factions gather. It's a little shabby and dirty, but it's a breath of freedom that has been lost for a long time. ”
"Then why don't we go quickly?!"
"But the smell of this...... It's not an ordinary bad smell, it can be said that it is simply unbearable. Let's be honest, I've been through this dump several times, but the first time I smelled an irrepressible stench is still fresh in my memory. ”
Amanda took off his coat and tied it firmly to my head. Now the coat covered my mouth and nose like a large hood, revealing only a pair of large, watery eyes.
"Try to breathe through your mouth for a while." Amanda took the little coat I took off again, and covered her mouth and nose as well, "The first experience is always the hardest, but there is no other way...... It's coming to a point, but I'm kind of sorry......"
"Don't regret it. This is the best way for us to escape. Isn't it just a garbage dump, I can handle it. ”
"I hope so!"
Amanda and I walked side by side to the steel door of the junkyard, and at the moment I deliberately smiled at Amanda with a smile, because I could already sense that his heart was heavy.
Amanda stopped looking at me, but walked over to a small door in the middle of the impregnable wall. He hesitated, but pushed open the small door.
The moment the door opened, a disgusting, rotting stench of fish and shrimp hit my nose, and my whole body immediately stiffened. I hurriedly held my breath, but instead of flinching, I followed Amanda right behind and stepped into this "big blender".
The gate creaked shut behind me, and it was only then that I realized I had entered a garbage dump that resembled a large manure pit. It seems that what Amanda said was only excessive, but not excessive. It's really not an ordinary stench, even if you try to cover it up, the stench still penetrates every pore on the surface of your body without much effort.
By now it was too late to take the regret pills, and Amanda and I had to sit on a transmitter full of garbage and run up and down, feeling like we were on a high-speed roller coaster, but the fear of jumping like a speeding car had been completely overwhelmed by the stench smell.
Now I am in the midst of a whirlpool of biogas and ammonia, 60% nitrogen, 25% methane, 10% carbon dioxide, 5% hydrogen sulfide and a small amount of oxygen, which I can't bear anymore. I stripped off my clothes and threw myself on the transmitter, gulping and vomiting, and finally vomiting all the bile.
As soon as I stopped vomiting, straightened up and curled up in a ball, wiped my mouth that was still stained with a little vomit, and rested listlessly for a moment, Amanda said to me with difficulty: "It's a watershed ahead." Down on the left is a large sewage disposal site, which concentrates on non-reusable filth, and we have to jump to the area on the right, which is a recyclable garbage distribution center that can be recycled. Let's work harder, and once we jump to the right area, we can sit back and relax. ”
He looked at me with concern, but I didn't dare open my mouth to speak, because I felt a wave of retching spread to my mouth again. I could only nod symbolically.
Amanda's consistent style is to never say all the good things at once, but to mutter little by little, so that you follow him to the soup, and you always have an epiphany after the fact. In fact, I have known this characteristic of him for a long time, but every time I still involuntarily fall deeper and deeper with him. I have learned this kind of leadership many times a thousand years ago, but I did not expect that I will still make the same "mistakes" after a thousand years. Hey, this is called *House and Wu!
Amanda jumped into the blue "recyclables" bin with the help of the transmitter's propulsion, but I was pulled by the uncontrollable retching and missed the perfect time to jump.
"Jump! Xu Meng, without further ado. Amanda shouted loudly.
I tried my best to hold back the frequent retching and quickly jumped in a panic. I had a distinctly bad timing for my jump, only two hands grabbed the edge of the box, and most of my body was floating outside the box. I'm trying my best to climb up the chest, but I can't do it.
At the moment when Amanda hurriedly reached out to grasp me, my hands holding the edge of the collection box could no longer hold on, and as soon as my hand was released, the whole person immediately slid down.
Just before I had time to think about it, I was suddenly poked in the back by a blunt object, and then I rolled and rolled a few times, and finally something stopped me from falling.
I endured the sharp pain around my body, and quickly opened my closed eyes and looked around. I noticed that there were many large gears around me, intertwined, and it was these big gears that caught me in the middle that I didn't fall into the bottomless abyss. Each gear is about a meter in diameter, and they are slowly moving through the teeth meshing with each other.
I looked down again, and in the lonely gloom stretched dozens of gears, large and small, in a regular motion, which at first glance looked like the layout behind the giant clock in the train station. Further down, several long steel chains are faintly visible, connecting to an oversized red garbage storage bin. I quickly retracted my head, breaking out in a cold sweat. It turns out that further down is the well-known toxic garbage area. It's a blessing in misfortune, if I fall there, I won't be able to return to heaven.
At this point, the hateful fear turned into a good medicine, and it dispelled my retching sensation without a trace, and held me up hijacking. I climbed through the gap in the gears and struggled to get up step by step. Amanda, who was at the top of the box, also leaned on the back of the collection box and encouraged me loudly.
"Climb up! It's almost there! ”
I saw that I had climbed to the bottom of the collection box with the help of the gears, but it was even more difficult to finally jump onto the collection box. On the surface, the gears and the collection box seem to be properly proportioned, but when you look closer, you realize that they are misaligned, and they do not bite together, but act alone in different areas, which is really a big problem for continuing to crawl!
At the last moment, Amanda found a thick rope from the collection box he was in, tied one end of the rope to the center cylinder of a large, discarded vertical hydraulic jack in the collection box, and lowered the other end of the rope vertically.
He shouted, "Hold on to this rope and I'll pull you up." ”
This is indeed a good way and the only way.
So I pedaled through the gap in the gears, grasping the gaps in the gears with one hand and the other to reach the rope that was dangling not far away. But no matter how hard you try to grasp it, there is always a difference in the distance between the hand and the rope. Amanda also noticed this problem, so he wanted to move the jack, but there were two practical problems, one was that the jack was pressed by a lot of heavy waste, so it was difficult to move. The second is that even if I can move the jack, I have to be very careful, so that I can only move it a little bit, so as not to cause the whole thing to fall down, and thus lose the only thing that can save me at present. And this second question is even more difficult than the first. He thought for a moment, and perhaps it would be more secure to swing the rope as hard as he could, to be able to move the jack in a small area, but not so hard that the jack would come out, and he went into action at once, and I stood on tiptoe and approached the rope not far away. The hard work paid off, and with the joint efforts of Amanda and me, I finally touched the ropes. As soon as I touched it, I held it firmly in my hand and never let go.
I fastened the rope firmly to my arm, and slowly suspended one foot in the air first, and only after I was sure that it was okay, I let the other foot out of the gear, and it was also suspended in the air. At this time, I knew that I had reached the moment when my life was at stake, and I had to climb to save it. For a moment, I don't know where it came from, a force filled my body, and I immediately climbed up with my hands and feet, and Amanda was pulling the rope I was pulling backwards with all her might. With the unremitting joint efforts of the two of us, I finally jumped over the edge of the collection box and planted myself in the collection box full of waste.
I'm finally safe! I lay on my stomach in the collection box, gasping for air. Although the collection box was filthy, I felt like I had fallen into a cozy nest. Amanda was also half-lying beside me, the rope tossed aside.
"It's dangerous!" He gasped for breath and said with relief.
Although Amanda tried to hide it, I still saw his bruised arms, which were covered with bruises and purple scars. He must have gone out of his way to save me. I was grateful, and for a moment I was speechless, and two lines of hot tears couldn't help but roll in my eyes.
Amanda seemed to sense the tears hidden in my eye sockets, and he quickly straightened up and comforted me, "This little injury is nothing, it won't be fine in a few days." …… I think this not a small catastrophe should indicate that we must be blessed if we don't die. ”
His vivid and witty words made me burst into tears and laugh. I snuggled up to Amanda's side, not wanting to let go of my hands holding his arms for a moment.
