Jiang Hui and the others, who had already foreseen the direction of the gap, were not only less calm than the people behind them, but were even more anxious than them.
Because the people below were destined to not be able to climb to the upper position before the gap appeared, they could also feel it vaguely. So this was also a little hope in despair, so they could still try hard.
However, Jiang Hui and Clarence knew exactly where the situation was headed, so they were racking their brains to figure out how to reduce the scope of uncertainty and maximize their chances of survival.
It was not easy for both sides, and they both tried their best to increase the speed of their hands and feet, hoping to grab a chance of survival before the disaster struck.
Unfortunately, the disaster was so steady that there was no surprise. It really cracked in the direction predicted by Jiang Hui, with such accuracy that it made people feel cold. If there were no accidents, the gap should end up a little behind Jiang Hui and Clarence, but it was very uncertain.
Neither of them felt relieved because this was "very suspenseful".
Moreover, they also have to consider a series of reactions caused by the separation of the two parts caused by the gap. By then, the area where Jiang Hui and Clarence are located may also tilt downward at a very fast speed.
-That is to say, if the two of them were right in front of the gap, with no room left, they might not be able to stand because the two boards separated, and then fall into the gap.
By then, no matter whether the gaps on both sides will close or not, it will be a huge disaster for them.
Jiang Hui and the others no longer dared to look at the situation on the other side of the pedestrian walkway, because she vaguely heard someone screaming, wailing, and wailing as if it was the last moment of life.
Great terror surrounded everyone on the other side, as if they had foreseen their own fate.
How did things turn out like this? Why did they have to suffer such a disaster? Can someone tell them that this was just a terrible dream? !
Sadly, this is not a dream.
The gap was getting closer and closer, and it was about three to five meters away from their feet. Jiang Hui and Clarence could clearly feel the loose construction waste underneath rolling and surging, shaking them so much that they could hardly stand.
Now it was certain that the gap was about ten centimeters below their feet, so they could barely run across it. But even if they could run through these three or five meters, they would not be able to run far, and they would be troubled by the tilt of the ground.
Jiang Hui's heart was beating fast, and she could also feel the heart of the person behind her beating even faster. For a moment, it seemed that all sounds disappeared, leaving only the beating sound of the source of life in their chests, confirming the fact that "she/they are still alive".
Jiang Hui gritted her teeth and stretched her hand forward. She felt a force pulling her hand back. She felt more at ease and couldn't help but said, "Okay, hold on to me later, for sure!"
In the end, it was what they learned from the orienteering competition that saved them. Jiang Hui took out a retractable rope hook that he had prepared at some point and tried to hook it into the groove of the giant piece of waste at the top.
She thought that if the place where they were located tilted down uncontrollably, she would try to use the retractable rope hook to hang the two people up. She hoped that the groove was strong enough and the huge rock that served as a balance on the other side was heavy enough.
Don't let these two skinny guys pull you down. If you fall down, you'll just have to blame yourself.
As expected, the crack eventually broke to the position under their feet, and at the same time it really tilted extremely seriously. The worst situation still happened.
The retractable rope hook on top immediately took effect. Jiang Hui felt all the force concentrated on his wrists and palms, and he suddenly felt numb.
This is the weight of two people. Jiang Hui doesn't know how long he can hold on, but he can only go on with it, trying to hold on as long as possible until the retractable rope hook really works.
Jiang Hui probably never dreamed that one day she would be carrying someone on her back, hanging the weight of two people with one arm in a scene similar to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. This situation was really incredible.
He felt the thing in his numb palm vibrate, and the other end clearly began to pull them both up. Jiang Hui could no longer control his expression and a look of delight appeared on his face.
Done!
It turned out that the merchant was not lying. This rope hook can bear several hundred kilograms of weight, and the heavier the object, the greater the contraction of the rope hook. The retractable rope hook, which was originally "unable to move", actually pulled them up harder due to the increased reaction force as the two of them gradually fell vertically.
If they succeeded, half of their predicament would be solved immediately.
Suddenly, Jiang Hui felt that the center of gravity of the person carrying the weight behind him was not right, and he seemed to be falling backwards.
Jiang Hui thought that Clarence had verbally agreed to work hard with her, but he was still worried that he would become a burden, so he acted willfully...
But the person behind him immediately clarified this possibility, saying in a hoarse voice: "Someone is pulling me down there."
What?! Is everything alright? Is there anyone who wants to cause trouble in this situation
Although the action was inconvenient and irrational, Jiang Hui couldn't help but take a look from the angle below.
Good fellow, the one who was lagging behind was none other than one of the people who had just followed behind. He actually caught up. Although there was a gap between them, the other party took advantage of the angle to grab Clarence's leg.
It was obvious that he wanted to pull Jiang Hui, but because of the strange angle of the two legs, the opponent grabbed Clarence, who was more mobile, and he pulled Clarence's injured leg.
Seeing this, Jiang Hui's face suddenly turned dark. What is this guy doing
If he was about to lose his voice, or just happened to be stuck in front of the crack like them, he could pull Clarence out of instinct like a drowning person. But the other party was obviously behind the crack, and in his current situation, he could not pass through the crack at most, but he could still go back to the bottom.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was impossible for Jiang Hui and the others to pull up three people at once. The rope hook was not strong enough to do so. It was already a stretch. But he still held on to Jiang Hui and Clarence and refused to let go...
If this continues, the final result will inevitably be that Jiang Hui and the others will be pulled down the gap... This guy did it on purpose! How despicable.
