Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

54 Three Years
When Jiatu felt emotional, Noah had also entered the final stage.

He was only two meters away from the last crack.

But this distance was farther than the 1.5 meters before the "first climber", so Jiatu had no idea how Noah planned to overcome this last obstacle.

"His posture... is he planning to jump?"

Warren opened his mouth wide, watching the scene above his head.

He holds the telescope left by Noah in his hand. Although he doesn't know how Noah did it, he and the gloomy boy each have one.

The night had become very dark. Even with Hua Lun's eyesight, he could only see a tiny gray dot, clinging to the stone wall.

But he could vaguely see Noah's body shrinking back——

Then he rushed forward suddenly!
caught!
In Jiatu's eyepiece, Noah grasped the edge of the crack with both hands.

His body swayed wildly, making Jiatu think that he would miss and fall out.

But he still stabilized his body and dragged himself into the crevice of the rock.

On the edge of the crevice, the blond boy rested for a while, and then continued upward.

"Four hours, three 10 minutes..."

Following Warren's counting sound, the No.1 passer appeared in the third round of testing.

However, this news is only known to the four people present.

"Master Noah..."

What made Jiatu feel a little exaggerated was that when he saw Noah successfully climbed to the top, the gloomy boy cried loudly without any scruples.

This made Jiatu, who had always felt that he was a little stubborn, understand a little bit about the "cuteness" of this person.

"It would be better if his 'hostility' wasn't directed at me..."

Jiatu shook his head, realizing that with the loyalty of the gloomy boy, as long as he can handle the relationship with Noah properly, there will be no problem.

"But the relationship with Noah..."

"There is no equal relationship between the 'strong' and the 'weak'..."

Jiatu is very clear that his "reconciliation agreement" with Noah is based on the fact that they can all become "explorers".

If the relationship between the two parties is not equal, then the effectiveness of this verbal agreement depends on the mood of the other party.

Jiatu can only say that he is "very pessimistic" about this.

"It's time for us to go."

On the other hand, seeing Noah reach the summit, Warren, who had always regarded him as an opponent, was also a little eager to try.

He looked at Jiatu and Hena, patted his chest and assured them:

"It's the same as we discussed before, it's up to me next."

Jiatu thought about it, nodded, but still told him:
"Although I am very grateful to you... But I still hope you can remember that if you really encounter difficulties, you don't have to worry about me, just choose to give up."

In the end, he didn't want to, and Warren shook his head persistently:
"Don't worry! Even if I sacrifice myself, I will help you find the way!"

Seeing that he hadn't recovered, Jiatu shook his head, then stepped forward with his cane, and gave him a slap without hesitation.

The crisp ear slap startled everyone.

Even Jiatu, who slapped this slap, couldn't help feeling a little guilty——

I should be more focused, right?

But he still followed the previous decision, looked at Warren seriously and said:

"You remember, the big deal is that I can't pass the third round of tests, and if you fail, you just fall to your death! I don't want to take another life! So protect yourself for me, and give up if you have to! Understand? "

Warren stared at him blankly.

There shouldn't be much pain on his face, but he really didn't expect Jiatu to hit him.

This made him hesitate a bit:
"If you insist..."

"Think about yourself..."

Jiatu hugged him vigorously, then watched him off, said goodbye to Hena, and walked towards the stele alone.

"What did you agree with him?"

As an outsider, the gloomy young man looked at Jiatu suspiciously, as if he didn't quite understand why they slapped in the face and hugged each other——

Two psychopaths?

"...the way of rock climbing with one foot."

Jiatu was silent for a few seconds, recovered from his worries, looked at the gloomy boy and said.

He pointed to his left foot:
"Noah's action told us the correct rock climbing route, and Warren will verify for me that this route can be cleared with only one foot."

"Only one foot? How is it possible..."

Hearing Jiatu's answer, the gloomy boy couldn't help but sneered:
"Are you a little whimsical?"

But Jiatu just raised his head silently, looked at Hua Lun's back, and said:

"Yeah, whimsical..."

"Without 'Warren'... I do think it's a fantasy..."

.

Jiatu is very clear that in many cases, it is not to go hand in hand and follow suit to be called a "companion".

He voted for a peach, but Hua Lun decided to return it with Qiong Yao.

This is a relationship that he never thought of in his previous life.

So he attaches great importance to this relationship, at least he doesn't want Warren to be injured or even fall because of his own reasons.

So he looked at Warren's climb with a much more nervous mood than before.

When he saw Warren jumping on the balance beam with one foot and almost slipped and fell, he almost jumped up too.

Fortunately, Hena was by his side.

The girl subconsciously held his hand.

The two looked at each other, and then continued to look at Warren on the stele.

Warren's climb was much more difficult than Noah's.

Many climbing points that were easy for Noah turned into extremely difficult "challenges" for Warren who could only use one foot.

But the ponytail boy is very persistent.

It could be seen that he wanted to repay Jiatu very much.

Even though he almost fell off the cliff several times, he still stabilized his body with great persistence and continued to move upward.

And the external brain terror and closed mask also helped him.

Without the data copied from Gator's mind, Warren would have no way of knowing how to balance, run, and jump while moving on one foot.

But with these materials, he became just like Jiatu, also able to perform various acrobatic moves on the I-shaped steel beams that are only more than ten centimeters wide.

Looking at Hua Lun's figure, Jiatu even found an illusion of "self" in him——

Only Jiatu knew how much effort he had put in to complete various combat moves while standing on one foot.

Even Hena, in the beginning, just lent him the outer shell.

No one expected that he would be able to get to this point.

Although it has the help of the exterior horror brain, although it has the help of Heiyin and Hena.

But seeing Warren's back, Jiatu finally realized that he had traveled such a long distance.

Looking back, it was three years.

Looking forward, that is a distance of 400 meters.

The grip of the palm gradually became stronger.

The girl beside her turned her head and looked at him silently.

did not speak.

It wasn't until this moment that Jiatu finally realized how much he longed to get rid of the shackles of his body.

Much more than he imagined.
