Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 50

As the night gradually dimmed, some of the first climbers finally broke through the first hurdle.

He found a four to five centimeters wide vertical rock crack under the "big eaves", and then stuck his hands and feet in the rock cracks, and with unparalleled core strength, he flattened himself under the "eaves", like a gecko Same, overcame this difficulty.

When he turned over and jumped onto the big eaves, the onlookers under the stele all clapped and applauded.

However, after the initial excitement, Jiatu suddenly realized that his climbing method required extremely high physical ability, and most people could not lie flat under the rock wall like him and climb a distance of more than three meters.

However, after only about four or five minutes, another group of climbers crossed the "big roof".

Unlike the "first climbers", this group of climbers found an I-shaped steel beam that was attached to the bottom of the "big eaves". Then they stepped on the steel beam, like walking on a balance beam, and crossed a distance of more than three meters. He stayed on the edge of the second section of stone wall and pulled himself up.

Compared with the first method, this way of clearance requires much less physical ability. It only needs some balance skills and a certain amount of upper body strength to pass the level safely.

So other climbers, after being reminded by the observation companions below, raised their heads one after another, looking for suitable I-shaped steel beams nearby.

However, they soon realized that although there were a lot of I-shaped steel on the first floor, there were only a few that were suitable as eave balance beams, and most of them were distributed in the middle of the stele.

This makes many people hesitate.

Because climbing up from the "middle" means giving up the safe zone on the "both sides" of the stele.

This means that, should there be another faller like the first group of victims, the wounded cannot be easily transported to the tunnel fracture outside the stele.

But almost everyone chose to move on after hesitating.

After all, as long as there are "companions" who are firmly guarding their backs, most of them can overcome the fear in their hearts and move on.

As a group of climbers all passed the "big roof", night finally fell.

Jiatu took out the military full-face mask, started it in power supply mode, and enabled the integrated photoelectric system on the full-face mask to take effect without waking up the black sound.

When he put the closed mask on his face, a black and white night vision scene appeared in his field of vision.

But what made him scratch his head was that in the night vision goggles, the gray shadow suits on the candidates had a very good shielding effect, so that it was difficult for him to distinguish all the climbers.

"How? Did you see anything?"

Warren asked beside Cato.

After the night fell, the observers who lost the meaning of existence also embarked on a journey.

There are four or five more light spots climbing on the stone tablet.

The fastest climbers of the first group of climbers were almost touching the edge of the second fault zone.

It was about 260 meters above the bottom of the tiankeng. They had done everything they could, and they had just climbed for more than two hours, which was smoother than Jiatu had imagined.

"It seems that someone is about to climb to the third section of the stone wall... Let me see... But their situation seems to be not good."

Jiatu subconsciously observed the group of people who made the most progress.

He thought he would see two people in high spirits.

In the end, he didn't want to, and saw two people retching on the rock wall.

They hugged the steel beams below them, spitting something at the bottom of the rock wall.

The body also slowly fell towards the steel beam, and finally fell from the steel beam as if in a coma, with his limbs hanging in the air.

Such a situation reminded him of what Heiyin said before——

"Vomit? Dizziness? Coma? Has the 'rule' of the alienated body come into effect?"

Jiatu frowned watching this scene.

Then he told Warren what he had observed.

But the ponytail boy didn't care as much as Jiatu.

He didn't know the existence of the alienated body, so he just guessed a little casually:
"It's probably because of eating bad stomach... It's quite possible that the same group of people eat bad stomach together."

"Or I just caught a cold..."

As he spoke, Warren hesitated a little.

Because he was reminded by Jiatu, he noticed that the climbers on the second section of the cliff seemed to be climbing very slowly, and were quickly overtaken by the second group of climbers who set off. .

"Even if the I-shaped steel is not as dense as the first layer, it's not so slow... What happened..."

Warren murmured hesitantly.

After about 10 minutes, the second group of climbers also reached the second section of the rock wall.

Their climbing speed also slowed down instantly.

As if they were going to spend the night on the rock wall, they climbed up a short distance for about four to five ten minutes.

And in Jiatu's night vision camera, the two fastest climbers gradually came to their senses.

They seemed to have only lost consciousness for a short time, and the height of the fall was not too high. They grabbed the safety rope around their waists and climbed back to the steel beam.

But the good times didn't last long, and they seemed to have a quarrel, and both sides punched and kicked on the steel beam.

The relatively thin one was knocked down with a punch, and then fell off the steel beam again.

Just when Jiatu thought that the winner was leaning over, intending to untie the rope and let the loser fall, he didn't want the winner to just untie his own rope and continue to climb up.

"Is there a disagreement? Or is it because of the influence of the "Life Stone"?"

Jiatu thought silently in his heart, but saw the winner climbed to the third section of the rock wall.

Unlike the "big eaves", the connection point between the second section of the rock wall and the third section of the rock wall does not have such an exaggerated protruding structure.

The winner just put his feet in the staggered rock cracks, supported his upper body with his lower body, and hugged the bottom of the third rock wall.

Seeing this exaggerated physical strength, Jiatu realized with belatedness that this victor was the "first climber" who cleared the big roof first.

"Someone climbed the third rock wall!"

Jiatu promptly reported to the two people around him.

"One o'clock in the morning... six hours, as a first climb, it's not bad."

Warren looked at the time, commented briefly, and then asked again:

"How is he now?"

"It seems to be resting."

Jiatu replied: "From the third section of the rock wall, there is almost no I-shaped steel. He is doing the final rest."

"It's very fast..."

Warren nodded:

"Do you want to complete the summit attack on the first night?"

They waited silently at the bottom of the tiankeng for a while.

After about an hour, the pioneer moved on.

He stood on the trimmed I-beam and took a few steps back.

Then look at the rock walls on the left and right sides and observe.

What is he doing?
Jiatu thought silently in his heart.

Then I saw the tall boy suddenly use the umbrella rope as a swing rope and swing back to the rock wall on the second floor.

He backed off? !Why?
The first climber inserted his feet into the cracks in the rock, and returned to the steel beam on the second floor with an extremely terrifying static stability.

The companion who was beaten unconscious by him before had already returned the same way in half an hour.

At an altitude of nearly 300 meters, the first climber was alone, silently observing something.

Then he climbed back to the transverse rock crack between the second and third floors, and began to climb to his left.
