Chapter 310: Frustration
"Old Mai!" A minute later, the group, led by Balk, was the first to flee from the boulder's area, and then he and Wuqi turned their heads to look at McCarthy almost at the same time, shouting in shock and at the same time extremely worried.
A hint of relief suddenly appeared on McCarthy's face, and the next moment, a grudging but heartfelt smile gradually appeared on his face, but his smile was full of sadness in the eyes of others.
Just by glancing at McCarthy, Wuqi guessed what McCarthy was going to do. As a member of the Adventure Squad, McCarthy is one of them, even if he is the weakest. Since they are all his own people, he does not allow anyone to easily give up their lives and make any bullshit sacrifices.
Therefore, when McCarthy was once again hit by a boulder, his body was suddenly short, his legs couldn't help but tremble twice, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and he wanted to say something, Wuqi immediately interrupted McCarthy in front of him.
McCarthy didn't have any chance to speak, so Wuqi suddenly raised his voice and shouted angrily: "Old Mai! Don't say any bullshit emotion! I won't let you die! Our adventure has just begun, how can you die?"
"Yes, old Mai, you can't die. Nakolulu understood what Wuqi meant, and she shouted along with her extroverted personality.
"Brother McCarthy, you have to resist! We'll find a way to save you now. Julia saw that Wuqi said this, and she hurriedly said it.
"I'm the captain, you have to listen to me. Wuqi is right, you can't die lightly until I don't allow you to die. Hold on, and we'll find a way to save you now. I know you can do it, old Mai!" Balk roared as loudly as he saw the generosity on McCarthy's face.
After finishing speaking, he quickly turned his head and discussed with the team members around him. I saw Balk look at Hughes, who was standing across from him, and said, "Do you have an idea?" ”
Hughes frowned, and after a moment of silence, shook his head. So, Balk looked at Julia and Nakolulu again, Julia also subconsciously shook her head, and Nakolulu snapped her fingers with her eyes shining, and said confidently, "Yes." Lao Mai can't stand it now because his strength is not strong enough. Wouldn't it be okay to find someone with the most strength to help him withstand it?"
After Nakorulu finished speaking, her gaze stayed on Balk's face, and the answer was obvious, she meant to let Balk make a move. Julia saw Nakolulu's intentions at a glance, she immediately frowned, and after glaring at Nakolulu angrily, she shook her hand and shook her head and said, "No, no." My brother is very strong.
But you have to understand one thing, there are huge rocks falling from the sky all the time. This stone is simply indestructible, and if it continues like this, even if my brother can hold on for a while, he will not be able to hold on to it forever. And if my brother did, who would save him?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and at this moment, there was a deafening loud bang not far behind them, and after a "bang", this time even the ground shook severely. In an instant, everyone's hearts seemed to be smashed directly on the heart by this boulder falling from the sky, and they all sank in unison.
The next moment, everyone suddenly looked back at McCarthy, and at the same time there was a look of worry on their faces that could not be concealed.
I saw that at this time, McCarthy was holding his hands high above the top, holding several boulders that were far larger than his body dozens of times, and at a glance, he looked like a demon god at the moment, imposing and domineering. However, his face was as white as a freshly baked piece of paper, and the blood at the corner of his mouth was like a stream, already flowing down his chin to his neck.
Although McCarthy's appearance did not change from the previous time when he first lifted the boulder, his legs were not as steady as they were at the beginning, and he was already shaking severely, and on his forehead and bare arms, there were earthworm-like green tendons.
Obviously, he was almost unable to support it, and his physical strength was close to the limit.
After seeing this scene, Balke's heart suddenly became more anxious, like a fire, and he couldn't help but want to scold his mother, and the other team members also felt depressed at this moment, and a thick sense of apology and frustration rose from their hearts at the same time, and even Rode, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness that he didn't want to admit. ,
However, Wuqi did not show the slightest look of giving up on his face at this time, but after seeing McCarthy's more dangerous situation, his heart was calmer and his brain was running faster. When a boulder fell from the sky again, it smashed heavily on the top of McCarthy's head, crushing his legs and weakening his whole body, and he couldn't stand up at all, so he could only squat.
All the team members who had escaped from the boulder coverage and were still standing were at this moment, and their hearts involuntarily sank. Whether it was Balke, who had a strong confidence in his own strength, or Rhodes, who had an indifferent temperament, or others, at this moment, there was a trace of unbearability in their eyes.
It seemed to them that the boulders that were falling from the sky, one after another, were stacked on top of McCarthy's head as if they were no longer simple stones, but seemed to have become a chasm, a chasm that they could not overcome no matter how hard they tried. Faced with such an impossible task, they could only shake their heads in frustration.
"Leave me alone, let's go. I'm very satisfied that everyone recognizes my existence. McCarthy, who was oppressed by the boulder and had to squat on the ground, looked at the legs of everyone who were walking back and forth because they were worried about him, and became more and more anxious, his eyes once again showed a look of comfort, forced a smile, and said with difficulty.
McCarthy knew very well that he had reached his limit and could not be rescued. It seems that the boulder will not stop at all, at this moment even he does not know how long the Dao can hold on, maybe the next boulder will kill him, maybe the next one.
But no matter what, although McCarthy's words were so indifferent, in fact, his face still slowly showed a strong unwillingness.
How could he not want to live a good life if he had worked so hard to cultivate to the present level? However, if he wanted to live, what could he do? At this moment, he was already in a desperate situation, and there was no way to have any chance of turning over. Gradually, driven by this thought, the reluctance on McCarthy's face was finally replaced by a thick bitter smile and self-deprecation.
The atmosphere of despair suddenly spread to the hearts of all the team members at this moment, however, at this moment, Wuqi, who had not participated in the discussion, looked up and saw another boulder suddenly falling from the sky, and after a loud "bang" and lowering McCarthy's body for a point, he frowned suddenly, and said firmly: "No matter." We've got to give it a try. ”
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look at Wuqi, "Do you have an idea?" Balk asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?" Theseus also asked with a smile.
"There's no time to explain now. I don't know if this method will work. Wuqi hurriedly shook his head, and then he suddenly turned his head, looked at Rode, who had been silent, and said: "Old De, I want to know Lu Dao, how much strength do you have? That is, after converting the energy in your body into strength, how much more strength can you have than Lao Mai?"
"No, I don't know. Rod shook his head matter-of-factly and replied.
"Then are you sure that you can hold up the boulders above his head for Lao Mai alone?" Wuqi nodded and hurriedly asked.
Rod subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the boulder behind him, which was more than 2,000 meters away, covering a radius of more than 1,000 meters, and then looked up at the number of boulders at this time, and after pondering for a moment, he replied cautiously: "No problem." Even if you want me to throw these boulders up. But with so many boulders, I should only be able to throw half a meter at most. ”
"Enough. After listening to Rod's answer, Wuqi's face suddenly appeared happy, and he quickly nodded and turned to look at McCarthy in the distance.
"Wait a minute. I'm not done yet. Seeing that Wuqi no longer looked at him, Rhodes' face suddenly sank, and asked, "Are you going to exchange my life for Lao Mai's life?"
"Of course not. Wuqi heard the misunderstanding in Rhodes's words, and quickly shook his head to explain, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly asked with an extremely serious expression: "That's right, Lao De." I want to know how many meters you can run at the fastest speed you can run after you throw the boulder on Lao Mai's body. ”
"I don't know how many meters. Rod was even more puzzled by Wuqi's answer, but he saw that Wuqi's expression was unusually serious at this time, so he stopped asking and estimated it carefully. But after a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind during the estimation, he suddenly understood Wuqi's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Your method will not work." ,
There are several such heavy boulders. Even if I could throw the boulder, I wouldn't be able to escape the kilometer before it hits the ground. I can only run a third of the distance at the fastest. ”
As soon as Rod's words were finished, the others also understood what Wuqi meant, and their faces showed helplessness.
But Wuqi didn't look a little depressed, but suddenly patted Rod's shoulder, with an extremely solemn look on his face, and said solemnly: "Old De." I'm now 90% sure. But it could still be very dangerous, would you like to give it a try for me? I don't want Lao Mai to die like this. ”
Rod was stunned suddenly, he originally thought that after his idea was denied by himself, he would choose to give up like the rest of the team, but he didn't expect to give it a try knowing that he was not sure, and he also deceived himself and said that he was ninety percent sure. At this moment, Rode's heart trembled again, not touched by Wuqi's words, but moved by Wuqi's willingness to work unswervingly for his partner.
He already owed Wuqi a life, and now that he has spoken, how could Rod refuse?
Almost at the moment when Wuqi's words landed, Rhodes nodded without hesitation in his heart, with an extremely firm gaze in his eyes.
But somehow, at this moment, when he saw Wuqi nodding and smiling gratefully because of his answer, some indescribable emotions suddenly appeared in his heart. It was as if at this moment, every word Wuqi said made him feel a sense of trust that he couldn't explain.
Perhaps, this is the so-called best friend.
After Rod muttered to himself in his heart, his eyes also showed confidence that he had never felt before, although it was inexplicable, but he firmly believed it.
"Here we go again. The last moment of my life has finally arrived. ”
McCarthy, who was deeply pressed by the boulder, couldn't even stand up, and could only squat, couldn't hear what everyone was talking about at this moment because he was too far away from the entire adventure team, and his surroundings were very quiet, so his sense of hearing was also extremely sensitive.
From the experience of the previous fall of the boulder, he could clearly distinguish that the scream that suddenly sounded in his ears just now was the sound of the boulder falling rapidly in the air. It didn't take long, just a second, for him to be absolutely confident that he would turn into a patty with a loud bang of boulders.
From then on, he would never feel anything again, so he smiled bitterly with tears in his eyes in this subtle sound that seemed to announce the end of his life, and then he slowly closed his eyes, unwilling to close his eyes in fear at the same time, forcing himself to be strong.
After the sound of "bang!", his body suddenly trembled, his hands immediately became unstable, and the whole person fell back and fell to the ground. The fear in McCarthy's heart immediately spread to every corner of his body at this moment, and his body kept trembling, waiting for death to come.
However, at this moment, just as his body had just fallen and a loud noise had just appeared, he suddenly felt something strange a moment later. I didn't even feel the pain of suffocation when death came, and I didn't hear the crisp sound of a boulder completely falling to the ground and instantly flattening myself.
Is it strange that death is so fast that I have taken my life without even feeling the slightest pain? But how can I still be conscious after I have died?
In a complicated mood of horror and doubt, McCarthy slowly opened his eyes, and at first glance, his whole person couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes filled with tears seemed to see the most beautiful scenery in the world, and suddenly lit up, and at the same time, his heart suddenly beat at this moment as if it was about to burst out of his chest.
The sound of "poof, puff, puff" kept echoing in his ears, and he almost suddenly felt like he was out of breath. But McCarthy didn't feel uncomfortable at all at the moment, but a kind of excitement and gratitude rose in his heart that he had never felt before, and at the same time, the look in his eyes was suddenly completely replaced by a look of disbelief.
"Thank you!" McCarthy finally couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart anymore after seeing Rhodes hold his hands high above the top and hold the boulder above his head high, and said gratefully, tears even rolling in the corners of his eyes.
