Chapter 75 The Shadow of the Rope
It’s nothing but corpses. After all, we even rushed over to the Zongzi family, but the "very silence" sounded like a numb sound.
These subtle movements were covered by the cold wind, and I could not tell if I didn't listen carefully. I held a strong flashlight and scanned under the dark moat, trying to find the source of these movements, but I only saw more white bones and a piece of yellow sand covering it on it, and I could not find the source of sound.
Seeing that I stopped, Chen Yun gently pushed me and whispered Sima Nan, why are you going to be so good? Climb quickly, you can't get through the people behind you.
I shook my head and pointed to the moat under my feet, saying, "Have you noticed that there is no water in the moat, there is only so much yellow sand, and there are so many corpses under the ground, which means that a war should have occurred in this place."
Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, and quickly swept the flashlight downward. When everyone bowed their heads together and saw the white bones covered with yellow sand, they couldn't help but breathe. There were no fewer people who died here than the rice dumplings outside. You can imagine how tragic the cruel battle was back then.
Modern warfare relies on high technology as the backing and support, and aims at targeting targets as the primary pursuit. Perhaps a battle will last for only a hundred casualties and injuries, and the strategic goal will be achieved. However, it was not the case in ancient times. People in the cold weapon era mainly rely on hand-to-hand combat, with bayonets loading, and even swords and swords and swords. The cruelty is self-evident. Crazy corpse is not just an exaggerated adjective in literary works.
The killing god Bai Qi during the Warring States Period killed 300,000 troops of Zhao's surrender in one battle. This is recorded in history books and will not be fake. It is impossible to imagine what kind of scene it is.
At this moment, we had a few soft ropes under our butts, hanging alone on a pile of corpses. Not to mention the impact in our hearts, almost everyone subconsciously had weak legs.
The moat has a small drop from the surface, only about ten meters high, and ten meters below it is yellow sand that cannot be seen. How deep should the yellow sand be under it? How many white bones have accumulated? This is the number that we cannot estimate.
Ge Zhuang's face was already a little white. He turned around from the front and pulled it on my shoulder. He said with a miserable blue face. Don't look at it, turn off the flashlight quickly. I don't know if these buddies buried below are asking us to visit like this. What if they are unhappy when they climb up to find trouble for us?
My face turned green, and it wasn't really scared to him. But this guy had a stinky mouth that had been opened and he would say whatever he said. He was afraid that his words would come true. He quickly pinched his big fat butt and said fat, "Shut, shut up your stinky mouth and then talk nonsense, I'll get you down first!"
When you are in the tomb, you must be careful in your words and actions. Some taboos cannot be violated. This fat man is so shady, he will pick up all the bad words. Chen Yun and I couldn't help but cut him a look. Ge Zhuang made it boring, saying, "Haven, can't I shut up?"
He complained, turned around and grabbed the rope and continued to climb forward. After less than half a meter, a "click" sound came from the front. Then half of Ge Zhuang's body sank, and his nylon rope collapsed "rattled", and with a big iron lump, it fell directly under the moat with a drop of about ten meters, smashing the head of a corpse to pieces.
"Damn!"
Ge Zhuang was so scared that he screamed strangely, and quickly grabbed the remaining rope with his hands. There were six nylon ropes fixed to both ends by us. One fell swoop did not have much impact. However, the movement scared everyone almost peed, holding the rope under his feet tightly, maintaining a crawling posture.
Chen Yun took a breath and said, Sima Nan, why is your grapple hook loose? What if it is not fixed well, everyone will fall from the moat?
My face turned pale and I quickly said nothing. I loosened a hook and there were still five left. Let's climb quickly and leave here soon.
To be honest, a few of us hang on the moat like grasshoppers. I was also hanging in my heart, for fear that the grapple hook would not be able to hold back and would implicate everyone falling into the moat together. There were yellow sand under the ten-meter drop. Although it would not kill people, so many corpses were piled up below, and no one wanted to go down to taste the taste.
"Go away, fat man, don't block it!" Thinking of this, I quickly pushed Ge Zhuang in front of me. The fat man held the remaining nylon rope tightly, and the dark and big-faced plate was so scared that it turned into a paste. Hearing my urge, he hurriedly arched his butt forward and crawled at the end of the rope like a maggot.
I was so angry that I almost cursed. I couldn't help but pinch it on his big butt again, saying, "You want a rope?" Hurry up and climb quickly.
I was scolding, and before Ge Zhuang could respond to me, the grapple hook in front made a "click" sound, and then broke the second rope. When the black grapple hook pulled one end of the rope and fell to the moat for the second time, everyone's breathing became rapid.
"Damn, Sima Nan, what bad products do you bring? You are so sincere to kill everyone!" I heard Lu Chuan crying behind me, and then there was a "swish" sound of water. When I looked back, the boy hugged his body tightly with a pale face, his body swaying along the nylon rope, his pants and crotch wet, and he actually peed.
I broke six grapple hooks twice. This is not a good thing. The remaining four-eight claw hooks may not be able to withstand the weight of so many people. My face was not very good. I noticed the slowly drooping rope. I didn't bother with Lu Chuan and shouted quickly.
"Hurry, everyone, hurry up and climb, the front will arrive soon, the rope will fall off quickly!"
I didn't need to say hello at all. Everyone tried their best to kick their legs forward. The six people supported their upper bodies at the same time. At this time, there was another "click" in their ears, and the rope head drooped. Everyone turned to the left a little, and the place left for us to settle was getting narrower and narrower.
"Damn it, fat man, you climb so quickly!" Lu Chuan was so scared that he changed his voice. Ge Zhuang blocked the front and slowed down the entire team. Now there are only three ropes left to support us. If he doesn't climb to the end, the people behind can only hang like grasshoppers.
"Fatty Master knows, you don't need to remind me!" Time is tight, and Ge Zhuang also knew that this was not a joke. He used both hands and feet, and he jumped to the other end of the moat first. Then I was almost in front of my feet, and my toes stepped on the solid rock formation. I didn't bother to take a breath and hurriedly made a seat for the people behind him. As a result, Ge Zhuang, who rushed to the front, let out a surprise at this moment.
"Damn, what is that?"
I was startled by the roar of Ge Zhuang, and I quickly looked up. When the flashlight shone, I immediately saw a black shadow lying in front of me. The grapple hook that had fallen down before was not because it could not be fixed. A black shadow was lying there gnawing the rope!
To be precise, he did not chew on the rope, but the grapple hooks fixed in the cracks of the stone slabs. After the chewing sound of "clicking and clicking", the stiff stone slabs turned into powder, and the chewed stones dripped down along the corners of the black shadow's mouth.
I ri!
Ge Zhuang roared, shook his hand and held the gun, and hugged the black shadow.
The bullet penetrated the stone slab, and the black shadow rolled, jumped into the city with all its feet. Immediately afterwards, the iron hook embedded in the stone slab also bounced up, and a trace was drawn under the drag of the rope head, like a python soaring into the air, shook its tail straight in the air, and fell below the cliff entrance of the moat.
ah--
After the collective outburst of exclamations, only two grapple hooks were left because they could not bear the weight of the four people. The four people who had no time to step on the case fell like dumplings, and fell down to the moat in screams.
