"Actually, I don't know if I can jump into that pit, but if I do, there's a glimmer of hope. If I don't, I'm sure I'll die! I know we'll both die whether they lead the way or not, so I might as well give it a try. If I'm lucky, not only can I save my life, but I can also trick them!"
"Last month, there was a landslide at Guaizijiao, and the cliff path was broken by the rocks. Those Japanese can't get over the cliff and must return the way they came. Don't even think about finding Luolonggou before dark!"
After hearing what Niu Zaizhao said, Liu Geyang was completely impressed. He held his stomach and said with a servile expression, "Niu Er, tell me the truth. Did you come up with this idea when you decided to lead the way?"
Niu Er lowered his head shyly, and nodded after a while.
"I... can't be a traitor no matter how scared I am of death..."
Liu Geyang gave him a thumbs-up: "As expected of a top student, such insight, such memory, such courage! Awesome! Ouch..."
When Liu Geyang raised his arm, his abdomen moved and he shivered in pain.
Seeing Liu Geyang's pale face, Niu Zaizhao quickly supported him and asked nervously, "What happened to you? Did you get hit by a rock in the river?"
Liu Geyang took a deep breath, unable to tell whether it was river water or his own cold sweat on his body. His stomach ached so much that he saw stars in front of his eyes.
"That old devil just hit me, and my stomach has been hurting ever since... Damn, that Yamada Chiizumi thing must be a fake name. I don't know why he's asking about Qingshan... Oh, right, I have to call Qingshan..."
As he spoke, Liu Geyang took out his cell phone. As soon as his hand put into his pocket, his eyes rolled back and he fainted. Niu Zai Su was so scared that he almost flew away. He laid him flat on the ground and shouted his name, but Liu Geyang's face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he didn't respond at all.
Niu Zaizhao felt as if his heart had fallen into a bottomless icy cave. The strong girl who hadn't cried even when Abe Kaku slapped her, now burst into tears, one by one, and sobbed with her mouth wide open. After crying for a while, Niu Zaizhao pinched himself hard to calm himself down and think of a solution.
Before Liu Geyang fainted, he said he wanted to call Chen Qingshan... That's right, the phone!
Niu Zaizhao took out Liu Geyang's pager from her pocket. The phone had been soaked in water and could not be used. Fortunately, she had a spare phone.
Niu Zaizhao's family was poor, and she was frugal, reluctant to order meat for meals, let alone a cell phone. Seeing her predicament, Liu Geyang gave Niu Zaizhao his newly bought Noah "brick" phone and bought a second-hand PHS for 150 yuan.
Niu Zaizhao thought of her cell phone as a "high-end home appliance." She couldn't bear to use it, so she kept it wrapped in a plastic bag and locked it in a closet like a treasure. Later, Liu Geyang called her several times, but no one answered. He then gave her a stern lecture. Niu Zaizhao then developed the habit of always carrying her cell phone, though she always had to cover it with a plastic bag to keep it out of dust.
Niu Zaizhao opened her backpack, reached in and took out a white plastic bag, and opened it up quickly until she saw the dry and intact cell phone inside. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. But when she saw the battery level of the cell phone, she collapsed again.
Niu Zaizhao remembered that the last time she charged her phone was two weeks ago. If it weren’t for Noah’s phone’s long standby time, she wouldn’t even have that 2% of power left!
Niu Zaizhao held the phone in his hand, thinking: the remaining battery is only enough for one call, and I want the call to be brief. So the question is, who should I call?
Professor Wang forbade students from using their phones in the lab to prevent interference with the equipment and data distortion. But right now, everyone was busy compiling the day's data, and no one dared to turn on their phones. Niu Zaizhao couldn't contact his colleagues or faculty.
She looked at Liu Geyang, whose face was as pale as an A4 paper, gritted her teeth, and dialed the mobile phone number that she had memorized for two years.
