I Became A Mech Soldier After Waking Up in The Future.

"Jeanne!!!" Keiko, who was watching this scene, subconsciously exclaimed, and hurriedly accelerated to climb down, "Hold on! I'll save you!"

The sudden accident surprised the soldiers who were watching from the outside of the training ground, making their hearts race crazily with anxiety.

A frail civilian officer who could fight so hard in a competition with a military officer has long been admired by the soldiers.

In addition, combined with her beauty and talent, she practically became a goddess in the eyes of many soldiers.

They didn't want to see anything bad happen to their goddess.

What was more concerning was that if Miss Jeanne had any accident, the entire Third Squadron could not bear the anger of General Armstrong.

"Fetch the safety mattress right now!" Seol-Hyun Ae quickly issued the order to the soldiers.

Antonio and Connie reacted really fast and rushed to the nearby warehouse to grab the safety mattress.

Seol-Hyun Ae rushed into the training ground with a large group of soldiers, and while running, she ordered some people to climb up the rock wall from the stairs on the side, and some people followed her to build a rescue shelter with their arms below.

This rock wall was actually not too dangerous for ordinary soldiers to climb. As long as you are not in a hurry, you could climb up one step at a time. In order to better fit the real environment in the wild, they deliberately designed it without protective measures to exercise the soldiers' ability to overcome difficulties.

The rock-climbing wall was around 15 meters high, equivalent to a five-story building. Even if the soldier fell from this height, it wouldn't cause them much damage due to their strong physique.

Although there was no soft pad for protection below, it was covered with dry sand, acting as a buffer when they fell. And for most soldiers, they had somehow gotten used to falling from such heights due to their self-protection training in the event of a high-altitude emergency fall. When falling, most soldiers could adjust their posture in the air to alleviate the injury caused by the landing.

But for Jeanne, the result would be fatal.

Jeanne's physical ability was weak, maybe only comparable to an ordinary man in the old era. If she fell from such heights, at the very least, she would break one or two bones, and the worst was death.

Originally, the soldiers thought that the match between Jeanne and Keiko was only a fun competition. She must've known her own ability and her limitations.

Even if they saw her struggling so hard in the first half of the competition, the soldiers would only feel that she was saving her pride and wouldn't think that the eldest lady would really challenge the last obstacle.

Jeanne's fear of heights was well-known throughout the entire army, and she never took the initiative to go to high places.

In their minds, when Keiko rang the bell on the top of the climbing wall and won the match, the eldest lady would finally give up. Even if she conceded defeat, after such a heartfelt performance, no one would scorn or mock her for losing.

But who knew Jeanne took the wrong medicine today? Despite her fear of heights, she kept climbing up. But then again, she didn't even look down once, probably knowing that she would be unbearable if she looked down.

Keiko had already climbed down to Jeanne's side. Seeing Jeanne's beautiful face was now full of perseverance to survive, mixed with fear and powerlessness, made Keiko's heart twitch.

Jeanne was hanging on one hand and was sliding down inch by inch. Even at such a critical moment, she did not cry or shout to vent her emotions; she tried her best to encourage herself and never gave up at all.

Keiko tried to clasp the rock wall with one hand and support her body with one hand, but found that it was too difficult.

"Just hold on for a while, and I'll hold you from below."

Without waiting for Jeanne's reply, she had already descended the wall and soon reached the bottom of the rock where Jeanne was hanging.

She found a rock with a hollow inside that was easier to grip, grabbed it firmly with one hand, and stretched out the other hand to reach Jeanne's leg hanging in the air.

"Don't! Don't move, I...I can't hold it anymore, I will fall down..." Jeanne felt that Keiko was reaching her and hurriedly shouted.

The soldiers who had already reached the top took off the armed belts around everyone's waists, tied them into a rope, and hung them down.

"Major! Grab the rope!" one of the soldiers urged.

Jeanne tried to lift her left hand to reach it. It looked easy, but it was actually really difficult to do. With only one hand to support her body, it takes a lot of strength to lift the other hand above her head, and she needed to swing her body to reach out to the rope.

Jeanne was utterly hopeless at this point. Her right hand's fingers were barely clinging to the rock wall. If she risked doing such an action, in the event she failed to grasp the rope, the consequences would be disastrous.

"This won't work!" Keiko said urgently from below, and then said to Jeanne, "I will try to come over there in a minute. You hold on to the rock wall for a little bit longer. If you can't hold out any longer, call me immediately!"

After that, she climbed up a little more, her whole body clinging to the underside of the big bulge, and then she stretched out her hand, reaching out to Jeanne's waist.

She looked at Jeanne and tried to estimate the distance between them, and soon she frowned. Her distance was far enough to make her barely reach out to Jeanne.

Keiko gritted her teeth and finally reached Jeanne's waist and wrapped her in her embrace.

"Ah! Keiko! I'm going to fall!"

Due to Keiko's pulling action, Jeanne's fingers that were barely hung on the outer edge of the raised rock suddenly slipped off.
