Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian fell into despair at the same time.
Even though they had played so many horror games and watched so many horror movies that they already knew that human nature was unreliable and teammates were meant to be sold, they didn't want to experience these truths again in this situation!
"Damn it! Bastard! Come back here!" Tang Mianmian screamed frantically at the departing figure in front of him. Although he knew that this was most likely futile, he was still unwilling to give up the last glimmer of hope. If no one came to help them, they would be trapped here!
However, no matter how Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian shouted, the athlete who was running away at a fast speed did not stop. He used the athlete's good physical strength and athletic cells to the extreme. After a while, his back figure completely disappeared from their sight.
The two men fell into complete despair. Now there were only three of them as survivors. The athlete escaped at the last minute. Where could they find another person to save them?
The two of them exchanged a glance, and Xiao Tangqiu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm sorry, I got you into trouble. If you hadn't come to save me, you two might have already escaped successfully..."
"What the hell are you talking about!" Tang Mianmian was furious. "If you hadn't held me tightly on the roller coaster just now, I would have been thrown out and shattered to pieces! Isn't it only natural for me to save you?"
Xiao Tangqiu paused: "Actually, I didn't think that much at the time..."
"I wasn't thinking about anything just now. I just wanted to rescue you. We had to leave together, no one could be left behind!" Tang Mianmian snorted, looking annoyed, but soon he lost his temper. "It's all my fault for not thinking enough just now. I should have thought about the possibility that the guy might abandon the two of us and run away alone..."
"Even if you thought of it in advance, it's useless. Do you plan to let that guy come down to rescue me while you stay up there to rescue people? Except for you, no one will be willing to come down to rescue me." Xiao Tangqiu sighed.
Tang Mianmian thought about it and it made sense. Just because he was willing to save Xiao Tangqiu didn't mean others were willing to risk their lives to save him. What's more, they were just strangers who met by chance and had known each other for less than a few hours!
"Okay, there's no point in continuing to worry about this problem. The tree is about to collapse. Let's find a way to escape quickly!" As soon as Xiao Tangqiu finished speaking, the tree trunk under their feet shook more violently, and sand and rocks flew everywhere, and branches and leaves fluttered.
"What the hell! What the hell! Don't use your crow's mouth skill again at the critical moment!" Tang Mianmian was so scared that she screamed.
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly realized something: "Sorry... Wait a minute! Look! The tree has been uprooted!"
Tang Mianmian was horrified: "Wow, woo, woo, don't broadcast live at a time like this!"
Xiao Tangqiu quickly shouted, "No! Look! Its roots are exposed! We can climb up by grabbing onto its roots!"
Tang Mianmian looked up and saw that, as expected, the tree grew on the edge of the cliff. Although the trunk and branches grew downward, the roots were still rooted on the edge of the cliff. The tree was now uprooted, which just exposed the roots growing vertically and horizontally underground.
The loose soil around them made the long tree roots hang down, and they could grab those roots with just a stretch of their hands!
There is always a way out!
"Hurry up! Let's grab the roots and climb up before the tree is completely uprooted!" Xiao Tangqiu said decisively, "Tang Mianmian, you climb up first! I'll help you from below! Once you're up, pull me up!"
His choice was actually quite risky. After all, none of them knew how long the tree could last. As soon as Tang Mianmian climbed up, the tree might be uprooted and fall off the cliff. At this time, whoever could climb up first would undoubtedly have a greater chance of survival.
In this situation, if it were someone else, they might have argued about who should go up first, but neither of them hesitated. As soon as Xiao Tangqiu finished speaking, Tang Mianmian reached out to grab the tree roots.
At this time, the tree was already at the end of its strength. Although it had not been completely uprooted, it was only a matter of time. Most of its roots were completely exposed to the air, and only a small part remained strong.
Tang Mianmian grabbed the roots of the tree and exerted force. Suddenly, dirt flew all around and the tree shook even more violently. Xiao Tangqiu didn't hesitate at all. He supported Tang Mianmian with both hands and pushed her up hard.
As a small-time actor, Tang Mianmian didn't have much time and money to spend in the gym, but he had built up his physical strength and muscles through real training, and he climbed up nimbly in no time.
Tang Mianmian naturally would not run away like the athlete just now. As soon as he climbed up, he turned around and lay on the edge of the cliff, reaching out to pull Xiao Tangqiu.
Xiao Tangqiu stretched out his hand without hesitation and grabbed Tang Mianmian. At the same time, the main trunk under his feet finally broke completely and fell into the abyss under his feet. Suddenly losing his support point, his movements were undoubtedly much more difficult.
Tang Mianmian was also struggling a lot, but despite this, he still held Xiao Tangqiu's hand tightly and pulled it up with all his might.
After the main trunk broke, the tree began to uproot faster and faster. The ground under Tang Mianmian's feet also began to shake and loosen, and it could collapse completely and fall into the cliff at any time, but he still held Xiao Tangqiu's hand tightly.
Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth, grabbed Tang Mianmian's hand, stepped on the branches, and climbed up the cliff!
After both of them climbed up, they didn't dare to stay on the edge of the cliff for any longer, and hurriedly ran forward desperately. After running more than ten meters, they fell to the ground exhausted, gasping for breath.
At this moment, a loud bang was heard!
Xiao Tangqiu looked back and saw that the cliff where they had just stood had completely collapsed, and the tree fell into the abyss along with it.
The two of them couldn't help but feel a surge of fear. If they had hesitated just now, even for just two or three seconds, they would have been buried on the cliff with the tree! It was really too dangerous!
