"No, they're moving too fast!" Jiang Hui heard the people below gritting their teeth. They turned to this road because they suffered a disaster on the other side, and their heads were almost blown apart by the scattered debris, so even though they knew it was difficult to go this way, they chose this road without hesitation.
Now they have completed half of the journey, and the remaining second half is obviously much easier to walk. Just look at the two people in front, and you will know that they are carrying someone on their backs.
Just when hope seemed within reach and they were about to escape this terrible situation, reality suddenly played a huge joke on them.
Damn it, why did they have to do it at this time? Why did they choose such a time? At least they should wait until they got on the platform of the exit passage and passed the exit first, why did they have to do it at this time? !
Several people were secretly resentful, but their bodies were still relatively honest. They climbed up in a panic and without paying attention to their manners, not caring about their decency at all.
Looking at the two people ahead who were walking faster and seemed more likely to escape, they couldn't tell what they felt.
The gap from the left side was getting bigger and bigger, it was cut off horizontally, and gradually turned into a terrifying "abyss". The crack, which was only a few meters long at first, gradually extended diagonally downward in the direction of Jiang Hui and the others, and it seemed that they would be cut off below in a moment.
This is why everyone below is panicking. They saw with their own eyes that the people on the other side of the pedestrian passage were unable to cross the gap and get to the plate of the exit passage because of this huge gap. If this gap extends to this side and directly splits the road in front of them, does it mean that they will not be able to return to the upper plate, and also mean that they will not be able to exit...
The only solution now is to speed up and get to the top before the horizontal crack spreads to this side.
That's why they said "too slow". Because no matter the interface of the uppermost plates or the current direction of the crack extending diagonally downward towards them, it seems that they are going to be separated from them... On the contrary, the two people in front still have some chances.
Damn it, why couldn't they react faster, or choose this path from the beginning like the two people in front, otherwise they would definitely be faster than the two people in front. But now it's useless to say anything, and there is no regret medicine to take.
Faced with such an irreversible development of events, any planning and intention has become a pipe dream. Everyone can only accept this reality and keep working hard for their only life, racing against death.
In the eyes of the group of people who were a little behind them, Jiang Hui and Clarence were undoubtedly more relaxed and had already gained an absolute advantage.
However, for Jiang Hui and the others, the current situation was equally critical.
Jiang Hui sometimes really "hated" her intuition. She saw the gap - saw its countless possible directions, saw the process of it being continuously extended by countless forces, and watched it expand towards them like a bloody mouth, pointing directly at their necks.
This gap will definitely fall in front of or behind them, and the distance between them will not be too far...
If they fall behind them, it's good, they still have a chance to return to the upper plate. If they fall before them, it's bad, they will probably end up like the group of people next door. If they are even more unlucky... they will fall into the gap by accident, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Of course, even the seemingly good result at the beginning also concealed great dangers. Because she did not forget that the crack did not open for no reason, and its cracking came from the transfer of the chaotic battle point.
The scope of the chaos gradually expanded and affected the surrounding environment and people, of course not only those who were waiting to climb up below, but also those who were crowded in the exit passage above.
Weren't those people in danger of being hit by flying debris? Didn't they worry that the chaos would spread directly to their side? Could these people still walk out of the exit safely and orderly after seeing such a situation
No, none of them! It would only be more chaotic up there. And crowds of people have always been the most uncontrollable scene of death and injury. Jiang Hui couldn't imagine the scene up there. Even if they went up, could they get past the many crazy people and enter the passage? Could they safely pass through that not-so-short passage... It was all a question.
—Jiang Hui didn’t know if she could do the above things by herself, but it was almost impossible for her to do it with Clarence.
So either way it's bad, very bad.
Countless ugly curses flashed through Jiang Hui's mind, but in the end she did not vent those emotions wantonly because she knew it was meaningless and would bring more negative emotions to her other teammate.
"If, if I..." the other party suddenly said, his tone was a little difficult, as if he couldn't say it. Of course it was difficult, because he was about to say something like asking his companions to give up him and fight for more opportunities - giving up his own life, which was unimaginable for a young man, but he did it now.
Jiang Hui had her back to him and was unable to turn her head to look at the expression on his face. She only felt that the other person's hand holding her shoulder was tightening and seemed to be trembling a little.
What could he say at this time? With the other party's proud and stubborn character, Jiang Hui knew what the other party wanted to say just by thinking with his nose, so he couldn't help but suddenly shook the other party, and the other party seemed a little scared.
"What? Are you still worried that I will abandon you? How is that possible? You carried me like this before in the orienteering competition. You didn't abandon me even though I was numb..." So how could she abandon him at this moment
This is a life. To abandon it like this is not only to abandon gratitude, but also to lose her bottom line and principles, and lose the most basic humanity.
And would this give her more survivability? Maybe, but it could also be the opposite. She would lose too much if she did that.
So no matter in terms of emotion, reason, gratitude or principle, Jiang Hui would never abandon Clarence, even if the other party proposed it himself.
"Don't think too much. Pay attention to the surrounding situation. This is very important to us. I will try to go as fast as possible and I will definitely be able to get in before the gap in the end."
Feeling the silence of the people behind him, Jiang Hui continued to talk to himself: "Don't worry, my luck... No, forget it, I have always been lucky. Not to say that I can turn danger into safety, but I can also be called a person who has survived a disaster. With me leading you, you will definitely be able to get out safely in the end and meet up with those guys."
"We're going to go to the Nature Restaurant tonight to eat some delicious food to calm down." So, please don't give up yet—
After a while, the hands that had been retracted at some point returned to the girl's shoulders. They were cold, yet felt as if they were warmed by something, making both of them feel inexplicably relieved.
