After checking the person in front of them, everyone realized that the person chasing them was actually Xiao Shan, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
Xiao Shan's father looked puzzled: "Daughter? What are you doing here? Didn't you say you weren't coming?"
"Dad, I'm sorry, I was a little worried about you, so..."
Mr. Lu stepped forward and gently patted Mr. Shan's shoulder: "Alright, since our daughter is here, let her come along. But what about the family..."
"Dad, don't worry, Xiaoshan has already left a message at home. They should know that Xiaoshan came with us, so there won't be any major problems."
"Oh, that's good. Okay then, let's pack our things and go. It's too windy here."
Xiwen and the others were also forced to eat a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and they expressed their helplessness about it.
Walking down the street, Xiwen and his friends joked around.
"Lu Yuan, when are you going to introduce us to someone? We've been single for so long."
"Come on, don't you know your own situation? If you want to find a partner, go find one yourself. I don't have time to help you find one. It's best to find a girlfriend on your own."
The group walked along the road laughing and joking, their moods improved considerably, and they were able to crack jokes along the way.
After walking for a day and a night, we finally arrived at the rift valley. This rift, which stretches across the entire island and is more than a hundred meters wide, leads to a bottomless abyss.
A fierce wind howled through the area, its mournful sound echoing through the crevices of the valley, as if an unseen beast were lurking within, waiting for its prey to fall in.
Lu Yuan rubbed the hat on his head, then looked at the opposite bank. The width of the river here was truly an insurmountable chasm.
The problem could be solved when there was a bridge, but now all that's left of the bridge is ruins on both sides, and the distance in the middle is at least a hundred meters.
To cross the bridge, they had to find a way. If they chose to take a detour, they would have to go all the way to the beach, adding hundreds of kilometers to their journey, which would be almost twice as long as their entire trip.
Everyone smacked their lips, speechless as they stared at the broken rift in front of them.
Xiaoshan's father took out a rope from his backpack.
"The width above is too wide for us to cross. We can only go down from below, where we should be able to reach the depth."
Xiwen guessed that Lu Yuan wanted to be the first to take the risk again, so he quickly stepped forward.
“I’ll do it, I’m single.” Xiwen said this as if he had a girlfriend.
Lu Yuan was still a little worried about Xiwen, after all, no one knew how deep the valley was, and if someone fell in, it would really be fatal.
Besides, he came with equipment, and he had already guessed what was going on in the Rift Valley.
As soon as Xiwen finished speaking, Lu's father and Xiaoshan's father also vied to go downstairs.
"Alright, stop arguing. I already brought my gear when we came! None of us need to go down today."
Just as everyone was arguing heatedly, Lu Yuan said softly from the side, "Have you all forgotten about the nail guns that the army uses specifically for this purpose?"
With a whooshing sound, Lu Yuan took out something that looked like a launcher from his backpack, except that there was a sharp spear in the muzzle of the launcher.
"Damn, why didn't you tell me about this sooner? We thought we had to crawl through from below!"
Xiwen breathed a sigh of relief: "I was already prepared to fall, and you're telling me this? That's too much!"
"Haha, alright, I know you're not afraid of death, but I don't want any of us to die either!"
As he spoke, Lu Yuan fiddled with the nail gun for a while, and then tied a thin rope to the back.
Xiao Shan's father squatted on the ground, pinched the rope on the ground, and his brows furrowed.
"Xiao Yuan, can you hold up such a thin rope? It's over a hundred meters long!"
"Don't worry, Dad, there's nothing wrong with this!"
Lu Yuan confidently raised the nail gun and began to aim: "The ropes are made of a new type of silk, which is even stronger and more resilient than steel wire!"
Xiao Shan's father nodded thoughtfully, looking at the smooth, silky rope in his hand, and was immediately filled with confidence.
With a "bang," Lu Yuan pulled the trigger, and the spear with a long rope tied to its back flew out rapidly.
Then a crisp sound came from the other side of the cliff.
Lu Yuan pulled hard on the other end of the rope a few times and found that it was tied very tightly.
"Alright, no problem. We just need to fix this position before we can go over. But to ensure safety, we have to go over one by one!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
This time, Lu Yuan didn't let anyone compete with him for first place, so Xiao Shan was still a little nervous. However, she knew how strong the rope was, so she could only hold on tightly to the other end. Although it had been secured, she was still afraid that the rope would suddenly break.
Lu Yuan smiled slightly, then waved to the crowd, released his grip, and the pulley above his head chased the shiny rope, slowly sliding forward. The speed increased until Lu Yuan could feel that his body was out of control. The fierce wind kept blowing, and his body swayed from side to side, but he was not worried at all.
With a thud, Lu Yuan landed steadily on the ground and then waved to the other party.
