Chapter 84: Between life and death

Views:

The moment he rolled down the bottomless black hole, Zhang Tie's hand holding the dagger quickly pulled the dagger out of the wolf biting his calf, and then quickly inserted it in. In a very short time, After stabbing the wolf four times in the chest and belly, Zhang Tie felt that the wolf's mouth that bit his calf had lost its strength.

At this moment, he forgot about the injury on his leg, but raised his head and looked hard at the hole in front of him that was getting smaller...

This is a bottomless black hole with a diameter of more than three meters - one of the deep holes left by the gold-devouring python in the Wild Wolf Valley. This hole is Zhang Tie's only hope for survival.

Under the pursuit of seven wolves, Zhang Tie's hope of survival could only be pinned on two points. The first point was that he could jump into the hole before the wolves caught up with him. This he barely managed to do. In more than twenty seconds, he used all his strength and finally ran to the edge of the cave at the moment when the wolves caught up with him. Although he was injured, he finally rolled into the cave. The second point is that it all depends on luck. If the hole is just a fucking intestine to the bottom and is always 90 degrees perpendicular to the ground, as long as the vertical height exceeds 30 meters, then the place where he lands will be A moment, that is, the moment when he was thrown to death, but even if he was thrown into a pulp, it would be better than turning into the feces of several wild wolves.

Zhang Tie was betting his life. He was betting that those gold-eating pythons back then would not be so stupid. He would dig a hole for himself like a well. The caves where snakes live should be curved. In this black hole, as long as the slope in the middle is less than nine That period of ten degrees is your chance to survive. The second bet is that those wolves will not jump into this black hole with him.

The second point is that Zhang Tie won the bet. When the wolves above saw Zhang Tie and a wolf rolling into this scary black hole, they just lingered at the entrance of the hole for a while and did not jump down after them. So at this moment , Zhang Tie's fate was decided on the first point - the first turning point of this deep cave appeared before the distance that could knock Zhang Tie to death.

Zhang Tie, who rolled down with the wolf, fell very fast. After stabbing the wolf four times in just a few moments, the cave was completely dark, and the light from the entrance could no longer shine in. .

The free fall of one person and one wolf continues in the cave...

Even Zhang Tie doesn't know why. The more he is at the critical moment of life and death, the more terrifyingly calm his brain becomes. Life and death are his own. Zhang Tie is also afraid of death, but Zhang Tie feels that his brain is completely like a cold and cold machine at this moment. It's like a precision machine, without any emotions, just calculating and outputting some numerical values... What the brain considers is not life and death, but right or wrong...

Just like at this moment, when Zhang Tie looked at the hole above, in less than a tenth of a second, he immediately judged the distance between himself and the hole where he fell, which was just over ten meters and less than fifteen meters. , this distance means that the time it took for him to fall into the hole was more than one second, but less than two seconds. Zhang Tie even had a set of displacements of a free fall in the same time interval that he had learned in school. Compared with the formula - 2n minus 1 - the displacement distance of Kun'ang Continent in the first second of free fall is approximately 5 meters. According to this formula, Zhang Tie easily deduced the safe time of his fall in an instant, which is 5 meters in the first second and 5 meters in the second second. 15 meters per second, 25 meters for the third second, and 35 meters for the fourth second. It doesn’t matter if it exceeds four seconds. Even if there are curves or slopes less than 90 degrees below that can be buffered, if you fall at this height, you will be on your own. As long as your bones are not as hard as rocks, you will be seriously injured or fall to death as soon as you come into contact with the ground or surrounding caves, and there will naturally be no chance of you later.

Will he be the first one to die in this trial? I'm still a virgin, holy shit!

Such a thought flashed through his mind, and then Zhang Tie, who was in free fall, used his two feet to clamp the wild wolf under him as a buffer, and finally grabbed the mining pick tightly with both hands...

The judgment of Zhang Tie's fate depends on the next three seconds. For some people, these three seconds are very fast, but for Zhang Tie at this moment, when a person is highly concentrated, these three seconds will give Zhang Tie's feeling was almost the same as thirty seconds.

Facts have proved that God did not abandon Zhang Tie. When Zhang Tie fell between the third and fourth seconds, to be precise, almost just after the third second, the life-saving curve finally came. The black hole that had been 90 degrees vertical from the entrance to the cave slowly eased here, and the slope changed to between 70 and 80 degrees. Of course, Zhang Tie had not measured it. Zhang Tie, who was falling in the darkness, felt that he was When the wild wolf below touched something, he instinctively waved the mining picks he held in both hands, sent the mining picks out with force, and dug into the rocks in the pit. The friction between the mining picks and the rocks produced A flying spark instantly illuminated Zhang Tie's face that was resolute and full of desire for survival. In the pain of his shoulders and hands feeling like they were about to be torn off, Zhang Tie's rapid descent suddenly slowed down, and then Zhang Tie felt His leg hit the cave wall, and he was shaken. The momentum of his fall caused Zhang Tie to instantly change from a free fall to a rolling meat ball against the steep cave wall. He rolled countless 360 degrees in just a few seconds. Zhang Tie gritted his teeth. He couldn't see anything. He just relied on instinct. When the mining pick in his hand felt loose, he swung the mining pick hard in the direction where his body could contact the cave wall. Come out, let go - swing out, let go - swing out, try to slow down your speed in the sparks...

Zhang Tie himself didn't know how long he had been waving in the darkness, and after how many times his body had scraped and rolled in the darkness, the last huge earthquake came, and then Zhang Tie's consciousness completely fell into darkness.

When Zhang Tie's consciousness fell into a coma, the news that a black-haired mining trial student was attacked and killed by seven wild wolves about 3.5 kilometers away from the Wild Wolf Castle on the ground immediately caused many people to become confused. stand up.

The news was first brought back to Wild Wolf Castle by the group of students who witnessed Zhang Tie's "heroic appearance" in the last few seconds, and then the entire Wild Wolf Castle was alarmed.

"I heard that the person who was bitten to death by a wolf this time was a boy..."

"Yes, but I heard that this boy was so brave. He killed three wolves by himself before he died!"

"Where are his partners and his trial team? How could such a brave boy face those beasts alone?"

"This boy is not in a team. I heard he is a black-haired miner."

"Pity… "

In the inner castle of Wild Wolf Castle, two girls were chatting and passing by a room where many girls lived. Neither girl paid attention. When one of the girls said that the one who was bitten to death by the wolf was a "black-haired digger." "Miner of the Mine", on the floor in the least noticeable corner of the room, a girl who was quietly eating the dry food in her hand suddenly stiffened, and then the piece of dry food fell from the girl's hand, and then As the dry food fell, the girl shed tears like pearls. Then the girl lowered her head, hugged her knees tightly, shrunk her body to the smallest size, and finally hid completely in the shadows in the corner of the room. .

"Pandora, can you please stop hiding in the corner and scaring people all day long? If you like corners, just move your bed farther away from us, or simply stop living here, so that everyone doesn't have to deal with us. You, a woman who often brings misfortune to others, are together..."

"That's it, why are we so unlucky this time that we were assigned by the teacher to be with this disaster star? I was almost bitten by a poisonous snake once when I went out to look for wild vegetables in the past two days..." Two girls walked into the room. When a girl saw the figure in the shadow in the corner of the room, she began to criticize him harshly, not caring at all what kind of harm her criticism would bring to others.

Hearing such criticism, Pandora in the corner said nothing, but just stretched out her hand from the shadows, picked up the dry food that fell on the ground and was stained with her own tears, and ate it in silence again...

The other members of the Aircraft Brotherhood discovered that Zhang Tie had not come back when they were having dinner. After waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of Zhang Tie. Everyone felt that something was wrong. After leaving two people to stay at the base, Barry, Wright, Doug, and Baghdad set out from the tree house. Doug fought against the terrifying crossbow. At Wright's suggestion, several people lit torches and followed the path where Zhang Tie usually went to mine. The road was walking all the way, and when they were halfway there, which was about a few hundred meters away from the grassland where Zhang Tie met the seven wolves, the four of them noticed that the fire was shaking in front of them, as if there were many people holding torches. As they were gathering in front, the four of them looked at each other and quickly ran over. They grabbed a trial student outside the large group of people and asked what was going on and why so many people were still gathering here after dark.

"Didn't you just come here after hearing the news?" The boy asked Barry strangely.

"what news?"

"In the evening, a mining trial student was ambushed and killed by seven wild wolves here. That guy was quite powerful. I heard that he killed three wolves before he died..."

After hearing such news, the faces of Barry and others suddenly turned pale. Thinking that Zhang Tie's strength should not be able to kill the three wolves, Barry still kept a possibility, and asked with a trembling voice, "You know?" What’s the name of that miner?”

"I just heard that it has been verified at the castle. The digger is a Chinese student, his name seems to be Zhang Tie!"

"Big head..." Doug howled like a wolf and rushed towards the place with the densest crowd and the most lit torches. In his opinion, Zhang Tie's body at this moment must have been too horrible to look at.

When the four people with red eyes rushed to the innermost part of the crowd, several people were dumbfounded. The scene of the accident was protected by a group of students on duty wearing red armbands and holding torches. Most people could not enter at all, and in this encirclement On the innermost ground, apart from a terrifying black hole that could be seen through the human wall, there were only the corpses of two wild wolves. Several teachers stood there discussing something, but Zhang Tie was nowhere to be seen.

"Zhang Tie, where is Zhang Tie, he is our brother, we want to see him..." Barry shouted...

"Stop barking. I heard that Zhang Tie rolled and fell into the hole with a wolf. Now Captain Colin and a few teachers are discussing whether to go down and look for people..." Responsible for maintaining order around and protecting the scene. One of the students reminded.

The big head fell into the hole. Looking at the terrifying black hole, a glimmer of hope ignited in the eyes of Barry, Doug and others...

"Teacher Jerome..." I saw a teacher coming over, and many of the students on duty around him greeted the teacher. The teacher nodded to the people around him, and then walked into the blockade, temporarily supervising Several teachers from the investigation committee and Captain Colin are there...
