Chapter 6 The Mystery of Notes(1/8)
It was bizarre that two mountain patrol team members died in two days.
Ma Zhanhao immediately ordered to return to the protection station, and everything had to be found out before talking about it. Shortly after the order was issued, three more players in the mountain patrol team disappeared.
The edge of life and death
Flames ignited in the long corridor. A fire wall of more than ten meters long blocked the hamsters' pace of progress. Some of them risked their lives to rush out of the sea of fire, but they were all rushed back by the more violent flames, rolling and struggling in the sea of fire, and eventually turning into the fuel of the flame and becoming part of the flame.
But the hamster who tried to break through the sea of fire was still unyielding. Hu Yang cursed and said, "Damn it, I can't kill you, little Zamao! Look at this and let you know how great my grandfather is!"
He took out a bottle of insecticide-like things from Kirk's backpack and threw them into the group of rats on the other side of the sea of fire. He then raised his gun and shot the bottle accurately. With a "bang", followed by a "hiss" sound, and a smog of smoke spread around.
When the hamsters smelled the gas, they turned around and fled.
Seeing the hamsters running away, Hu Guang sat on the ground, not caring about sweating, but only breathed out, murmured: "It turns out that they are really afraid of this. Now I know, I know."
After sitting down for a while, Hu Yang jumped up again, grabbed Kirk's collar, and asked loudly: "Where is Zhuo Mu Qiangba and the others?
Where is Zhang Li?
Where are their people?
Where is the person!"
Kirk stared at Hupo, unable to answer for a long time, obviously not recovering from his panic.
I saw Hupopotamus walking back and forth uneasyly, and suddenly realized: "Oh no! They must have returned as they were.
They don’t have crampons and ice axes, and they don’t have safety ropes, so how can they cross the ice bridge?”
He looked at the sea of fire in front of him and the group of rats fleeing far away, his eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness, and finally made up his mind, "Let's go back and see if they have any help."
Kirk fluttered the corners of his mouth and said in a crying voice: "Ah! Do you still have to go back?"
Zhang Li's body rotated half a circle on the bridge deck. Zhuo Muqiangba did not catch his arm, but only grabbed the safety rope that was resting on Zhang Li's shoulder.
He originally wanted to stand firm and hold Zhang Li, but found that he leaned back too much and lost his balance, and slipped towards the other side of the ice bridge.
Zhuo Muqiangba knew it was bad, so he quickly wrapped the rope end around his wrist while his body was still tilting. He took advantage of his busy schedule and reminded Zhang Li: "Hold on the rope!"
Both ends of the safety rope were stretched straight, and Zhuo Muqiangba and Zhang Li each held one end of the safety rope, hung in the air, swaying back and forth.
The safety rope was placed horizontally on the middle waist of the ice bridge. When Zhuo Muqiangba fell, he wrapped the safety rope around his arms three or four times, and then four times on his palm. He held it firmly at this moment and it would not be easy to fall.
Look at Zhang Li again, the safety rope is wrapped tighter than himself. He wraps the rope around his wrists, then turns his wrists over, and the rope wrapped around his wrists becomes a "8" shape, and holds the rope head in his hand, which makes it less likely to fall.
Zhuo Muqiangba was a little heavier, but Zhang Li was carrying something like steel strips on his back. The safety rope was like hanging on a pulley made of ice, and the two of them were just in balance.
If any of the two people can't hold the rope tightly at this moment, the other person will fall with him, and what awaits them below is a colder undercurrent than ice.
When the cold wind blew, Zhang Li looked up at the ice bridge and said, "This is a waterproof ice climbing main rope with a diameter of 10.5 mm. I used it when I was an engineer. It was very strong. It seems that we will not fall down for a while, but I don't know how long we can last.
Unfortunately, the rope is too thin to climb up along the rope.”
Zhuo Muqiangba also woke up at this moment and asked, "How are they?
Did you see them?"
"them?"
Zhang Li reacted and said, "I was very panicked at that time and just ran away with you; however, I didn't hear their screams, and when I turned the first turn, I felt that there were much fewer hamsters following me.
I think……"
"Ah! That's great, then they must have taken another path. Captain Hu looks very experienced. They should be able to drive away the hamsters.
Then, let's wait for them to come back to save us."
Zhuo Muqiangba had a smile on his face and said the words that were the least confident in his life.
No one knows what happened to the other two, but in this situation, they can only comfort themselves.
Zhang Li also smiled. He looked up at the ice bridge and could clearly see the figures of the ice bridges above his head and the figures of hamsters wandering among the icicles. They were gathering together in an orderly manner.
He laughed at himself and said, "There is really no way. No matter who lets go, we will fall down together. I think no one can convey the last few words."
Zhuo Muqiangba said: "What stupid things are you saying?
Don't worry, I once asked the most famous fortune teller in the country to tell me about my fortune. He said that I would be lucky before I was fifty. Since I can't die, you must be fine.
We just need to wait patiently.”
Zhang Li laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I've met the living Buddha in the temple. What people told me is not to get too close to the ice and snow, otherwise the worst consequence is to die without a complete body. Now it seems that this sentence has come true.
I don’t know if my bad luck brings you with you or your lucky luck bless me with you, but I can only see which of us is even stronger, Master Qiangba.”
Zhuo Muqiangba became serious and said, "Relax, things are not as bad as you think. As long as we persist, we will eventually be rescued."
Zhang Li apologized and said, "I'm really sorry, it seems that I'm going to drag you down this time.
I...I can't relax, this is my limit."
Zhang Li's last words had already clenched his teeth, and it was obvious that the power had ended.
Zhuo Muqiangba thought to himself that Zhang Li had received special training after all, so why was it so unhealthy?
At this time, Zhang Li shook by under a beam of light. Zhuo Mu Qiangba then realized that Zhang Li's bandaged hands were covered with blood, and the bandage was completely dyed red. From the painful expression on Zhang Li's face, he had been struggling to fight the pain of tearing the wound.
Zhuo Muqiangba used his left hand to pull up his whole body, tied the rope to his right arm for two more turns, and began to breathe calmly, and said to Zhang Li lightly: "It's not time to give up his life, my special soldier, hold on for another half a minute, you must hold on!"
When Zhang Li was swaying past him, Zhuo Mu Qiangba suddenly kicked and kicked Zhang Li, and the two swung in two different directions.
When the two of them reached the end and began to move closer in the same direction, Zhuo Muqiangba reached out and tried to grab Zhang Li, but the distance was still too far. Zhang Li was entangled with both hands and ropes. Zhuo Muqiangba could only reach Zhang Li with his toes, but his arms could not grasp Zhang Li at all.
But just kicking this once, Zhang Li was already in great pain. Beads of sweat as big as beans seeped out of his forehead, rolled down to his cheeks and frozen into ice. The ice beads hung on the tip of his nose and jaw, and were dissolved by the white gas from his mouth.
Zhuo Muqiangba had no other way, but he did not give up, and he decided to try again.
He said to Zhang Li: "I'm going to do it again, are you ready?"
No matter how painful it hurts, don't let it go!"
Zhang Li tried hard to raise his feet to cooperate, Zhuo Muqiangba kicked Zhang Li's feet, and the two of them swung away again and moved closer together.
The pain was heartbreaking this time, and Zhang Li felt the rope sinking deep into the flesh and strangling it from the bones. His eyes turned dark, knowing that his hands were about to slide out of the rope cover.
At this moment, Zhang Li felt his body tremble and was held back by something. Then he tightened his arms, and the rope on his wrist was grabbed by another thick big hand.
Zhang Li opened his eyes and saw Zhuo Muqiangba spreading his legs and tightly clamping his waist.
His big hands, like dragons, each grabbed one end of the safety rope, and hung it under the ice bridge like a swing. It’s a pity that the swing did not sit on the board.
Zhuo Muqiangba tried his best to turn his left wrist a few times to make the rope more stable. At the same time, he said to Zhang Li: "Hurry, hold my legs, I can't hold you anymore."
Zhang Li immediately put down his freed hands and clamped Zhuo Muqiangba's thighs with his shoulders and elbows. The two of them hung in a strange posture in the air and would not fall down for the time being.
Time passed so slowly. One person held the weight of two people. Zhuo Muchangba also felt very difficult. He felt that the bones in his body were about to break, and the muscles on his body were like strangled beef tendon. If one of them broke, the rest would have to be broken.
The rope was strangled into the flesh, the blood was about to solidify, and both arms turned purple liver. Zhuo Muqiangba clearly felt that the perception in his hands was disappearing little by little. He himself knew that he would not last long, but he would not compromise if he didn't last until the last part of his strength was used up.
Zhang Li looked up at Zhuo Mu Qiangba. This powerful man looked taller from this angle at this moment. His muscles were even more perfect than David. He was simply a Vajra.
Seeing Zhuo Muqiangba speaking for a while and his eyes were vague, Zhang Li asked, "What are you thinking?
Master Jomba?"
Zhuo Mu Qiangba smiled bitterly and said, "I'm thinking, I don't know how Minmin is now. Fortunately, she was sick and didn't go with us."
Zhang Li was speechless and said after a long time: "Why should I think more about our current situation than Minmin? Master Qiangba?"
Zhuomangba said with difficulty: "I will stick to the last second, don't worry."
Zhang Li saw Zhuo Muqiangba's changing arms. He knew what was going on. At the same time, he also knew that if he went down first, Zhuo Muqiangba could hold on for a few more minutes. After a few thoughts, he finally said: "Let me go, Master Qiangba! You still have unfulfilled wishes, and I only have a small wish. Please tell my mother--"
Zhuo Mu Qiangba angrily interrupted Zhang Li's plea, raised his voice and said, "Shut up! Don't think about it anymore, I will not let go unless we both fall down together.
I brought you to Kekexili. If you want to go back, we will go back together. If not, no one will go back. Keep your wishes and other things in the future and tell others. It will be useless to tell me."
His eyes were so firm and persistent, and his words could not be argued by Zhang Li.
But Zhang Li no longer has much hope. Hu Yang and the others' situation is still unclear. The biggest possibility is that they cannot protect themselves.
At the moment, his life and Zhuo Muqiangba were hanging on the line. The cannibal hamsters had quietly approached, and danger was imminent. He knew very well in his heart that if anyone could come to save them, it would definitely be a miracle.
The so-called waiting for rescue is nothing more than words to comfort the heart. Zhuo Muqiangba knew as well as Zhang Li. At this time, Zhuo Muqiangba felt that the light had dimmed, and he murmured: "What?
Has the day changed?"
Zhang Li smiled helplessly and said, "They are here, Master Jomba.
I think we should be ready."
Zhuo Muqiangba looked up and saw that the ice bridge hanging above his head were covered with dense little feet. The hamsters gathered together and covered the entire ice bridge deck, like a black giant beast with countless tentacles. It was about to swallow them, and there was not even bone left.
What Zhang Li asked about was whether he was ready, which meant when Zhuo Mu Qiangba let go.
Zhuo Mu Qiangba replied teasingly: "Be ready at all times!"
Now, Zhuo Muqiangba has two choices: one is hung in the air, eaten by the hamster as a large piece of bacon; the other is, let go of his hands, fall into the surging undercurrent, and is frozen into a mummy. Apart from this, there is no possibility of a third choice.
Zhang Li knew that the last moment was coming, so he smiled and said to Zhuo Mu Qiangba with a smile: "I'm so happy to die with Master Qiangba.
I feel very honored to meet you in the last time of my life. I have heard a lot of rumors about you in Tibet before. I have been wondering how a heroic character he is, who can leave an epic story on the plateau, and can make so many people respect and admire it.
To be honest, when I first met you, I felt that apart from being tall, you were no different from ordinary people, because I couldn't compare with the imagined Young Master Jomba, and I was disappointed for a while.
To be continued...
