Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 727
"Where is there a hiding place here?" Old Zhangtou asked calmly.

I smiled and pointed to a small crack behind the platform, and said that although it is not a passage, it is enough for you to hide, and there is something blocking it, so be careful not to be discovered.

Lao Yan still disagreed, saying it was too risky.

The old Zhangtou said impatiently: "Is it me or you? Why are there so many things?"

Lao Yan looked at him in a huff, but he didn't argue with him, he just looked at me and said he didn't agree.

Old Zhangtou and Mr. Gu are both technical talents. They are borrowed this time to help us. If something happens to them, 701 will not be able to explain to the higher authorities.

I was also a little hesitant. Mr. Zhang helped us a lot along the way, and although Mr. Gu was taciturn, it was also because of his understanding of geology that we avoided many detours along the way. immoral.

I looked at them and finally sighed: "No way, this is the best solution at the moment."

"You go, Lao Yan, give us a gun, this crack can be regarded as a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We are really discovered, and we have to kill a few people before we talk about it." The old Zhangtou looked at Lao Yan, and his tone was slightly gentle some.

What else did Lao Yan want to say, but Lao Zhangtou continued: "Old Yan, I hate your appearance the most. Why, only you are worthy of sacrificing for the country?"

As soon as these words came out, Lao Yan didn't know what to say anymore. After a while, he pulled out the pistol pinned to his waist, and then took out another one from his bag, and handed them to two people respectively, asking worriedly. Will they shoot.

Lao Zhangtou was joking, and asked Lao Yan if he wanted to try it?
Lao Yan looked at them, sighed slowly, and finally told them not to shoot until the last moment, and to hide if they could, even if they had no way to give us information.

Lao Zhangtou told Lao Yan to stop talking and leave quickly, and Lao Yan shut up.

Of course, we didn't leave early, but watched Lao Zhangtou and Mr. Gu enter the crack, and gave them half of the dry food on our bodies, and then asked: "These dry food is enough for a week, if the fifth day We don’t have any news yet, so you just try to find a way to go down, you know?”

The old man waved his hand and said he knew.

I looked at them, and I was still very worried, but at this point, all I can do is to make the crack look natural enough.

After arranging everything, I tied a climbing rope around my waist, and fastened the other end firmly to the mountain wall, and reminded: "This plank road, if you take a wrong step, you will be smashed to pieces. Be careful, don't miss your foot here." !"

Everyone nodded, and then made all preparations.

About 1 minute later, we stuck to the mountain wall and slowly moved forward on this road of death...

The difficulty of this plank road is no joke.

Without any protection, relying entirely on our own efforts and such a rope tied around our waist, if we step on the ground, the people around us will not be able to rescue us.

This is what I settled on, and although it sounds cruel, it is very much in line with our current situation.

If he stepped on the ground with one foot, he might pull the stone and come back again, but it would be hard to say if other people rescued him.When a person falls, the inertia is very large, and it is impossible to hold it with one hand.

That is to say, once something goes wrong, it is likely that two lives will be lost if someone rescues it.

That's why I stipulated it like this.

When I said this at the beginning, everyone’s faces were a little weird. After I analyzed it, they also expressed their understanding, saying that this is indeed the case. Such an accident.

After I made this decision, Lao Yan glanced at me.I know what he's thinking, probably I didn't expect that I, who has been avoiding me all this time, would be so domineering and powerful once I got the command!

Actually, I don't want to be like this, but I know the emotional bond between members, so there must be a hard and fast rule.

I took the lead, but I could only use half of my strength on my feet, almost relying on the strength of my arms to move myself forward little by little.

I don't know how long it took, I just felt that my arms were sore, but I could only grit my teeth and hold on.

I am the team leader now, just like Lao Yan was the team leader before, I have to keep everything in my heart, and I can't let everyone down.

Besides, I chose this path, so I naturally know what to do is the best.

They don't know where the road ahead is, only I have a very clear goal to lead them to the end.

"Chang, Chang'an, how long is it?" The boy behind me trembled.

I turned my head to look at him, and saw that his face was pale and looked scary.

He is afraid of heights...

I sighed, just now he was climbing up, as long as he didn't look down, nothing happened.But not now, he had to stare at the plank road to move forward step by step, so when he lowered his head, there was a cliff, no wonder he became like this.

"Hold on, it will be soon." I said firmly.

Yazai looked up at me, the eyes blocked by the sunglasses seemed a little disbelieving, I breathed out to make myself look more stable, and I even smiled to reassure him.

Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, and took the next step tremblingly.

I walked forward slowly, not daring to be distracted, but I still looked at Yazai from time to time, his calves were shaking...

I frowned and looked ahead. We had already made a half-circle. The plank road was indeed winding upwards, but I didn't know where the end point was. Of course, what I was most worried about was that the end point was at the top of the mountain.

Because this indicates that we have to climb a thousand meters.

Besides, I am also worried about the altitude sickness that Lao Yan said...

We should be at an altitude of several hundred meters by now, and even looking down is frightening, not to mention that I am afraid of heights, even I feel dizzy.

"Is everyone okay?" I raised my voice slightly, but I didn't dare to make it too loud, lest I startle them.

A reply came from behind, but Yazai didn't hear it.

I turned my head to look at him, and saw him lying on the mountain wall, the cold sweat on his forehead was very clear, I couldn't bear to see it.

He really shouldn't be allowed to come up to such a place. I should have let him accompany Lao Zhangtou and the others just now, otherwise even if he went up like this, he would lose half his life.

"Baby, how are you?" I lowered my voice.

The boy raised his head tremblingly, his whole face was pale, and he was shaking so much that even the rope was shaking. I was terrified when I saw him, for fear that he would immediately shake down if he shook.

I looked at him worriedly, but he forced a smile at me and said that it was all right, he should still be able to hold on.

I looked at him, not knowing how to comfort him.

"Let's go, I'm fine." Yazai's voice was trembling, but he managed to stabilize his figure, and raised his head to signal me to continue walking.

I glanced at him worriedly, but at this point, it is impossible to go back, so I can only bite the bullet and go up.

I speeded up a little bit, thinking to reach the end sooner, but no matter how fast I increase the speed in such a place, I can only look forward while feeling annoyed, hoping to see the end sooner.

"Chang'an, are you serious about the rules you just made?"

Just when I seemed to see the end point, Yazai's weak voice came over. I was startled and turned to ask him what he meant.

He raised his head and smiled at me: "Didn't you say that everyone cares about themselves? I asked you if you were serious?"

I stared at him firmly: "Yes, but if you fall like this, I will go down with you too."

Yazai smiled wryly and said that he really couldn't hold on any longer, and told me not to force him.

"Baby, I promise you that I will last for another half an hour. If the half hour is not up, I will count as the rules." I looked ahead, and the mountain turned away in front of my eyes. It's not the end, but I know that now I must give Yazai a little confidence.

He really couldn't hold on any longer, his arms were trembling unbelievably, and he might fall down at any time.

If you don't give him hope, I'm afraid he will really give up directly.

Giving up on the cliff, the consequences can be imagined.

So I almost begged him, and said firmly, "Baby, give me another half an hour, okay?"
