Chapter 187 The Abyss Critical Moment
187
Although Tang Shengkai led them at a fast pace, trying to minimize their tracks, this group of spies was indeed extraordinary, with extremely strong reconnaissance capabilities. Tang Shengkai felt that they seemed to want more than just a few treasures, as if to prove to the Chinese that even if they intercepted their treasures, what would it matter?
"How do you say it?"
Tang Shengkai kept his eyes fixed on the other side. Now that they were out of bullets and faced the enemy again, there was nothing they could do except run.
"Commander, we have to go."
"Swish, swish, swish!" Several eyes glanced at Tang Shengkai, all filled with disbelief.
"Old Tang, are you kidding me?"
Chen Erniu, who had been so loud all the time, couldn't even speak clearly now. He wasn't afraid of heights, but how could he get through this thing? It was pitch black down there, and he felt terrified at the mere sight of it. How could he get through?
No one except Tang Shengkai thought what he said was reliable. Tang Shengkai didn't have time to explain. He felt that those people would catch up in 20 minutes at most.
Tang Shengkai looked at Xu Hongchang and said, "Battalion Commander, if we don't go there now, we'll run into those people soon on our way back. By then, we'll all be sitting ducks for them.
If we get over there, the terrain on the other side is higher than this side, and we can prevent those people from getting through. That way we'll be safe."
"Old Tang, this is almost impossible. We don't have a rope, and it's such a long distance, there's no way we can get there in a short time."
“I’ll go!”
"no!"
"no!"
......
Everyone spoke at once.
Chen Erniu gritted his teeth and stepped forward, "Old Tang, you're not as good at long jump as I am. If you have to go over, I'll go!"
Bu Mancang pulled Chen Erniu behind him and said, "Are you good at long jump? Move aside. When have I not been the champion? If anyone wants to jump, I'll jump."
The others also started arguing, and no one wanted to let anyone go. Tang Shengkai knew that he couldn't waste time, so he left them for a distance and walked back a distance to help him run. Just as everyone was arguing, Tang Shengkai pushed off with his left foot, and with a running start, he rushed directly towards the abyss.
Although the noise was small, everyone was paying attention to each other. The comradeship between them during these days was incomparable to before. Chen Erniu wanted to step forward to stop them, but was held back by Bu Mancang.
It was obvious that Tang Shengkai had used all his strength. If Chen Erniu had gone to stop him, the only result would have been that they would both fall into the abyss. That was definitely not what anyone wanted to see.
Fei Shuwen kept his eyes on Tang Shengkai. He bent his knees slightly, his body like a taut bowstring, his muscles brimming with strength. With a low roar, Tang Shengkai broke into a run as swift as a cheetah, his footsteps leaving deep footprints in the cliffside dirt, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Just before leaping, his body soared high, the tattered clothes hanging on him rustling in the wind, like an eagle spreading its wings. Some strips of cloth on his body could not withstand the baptism of the strong wind and fluttered down into the abyss.
The 4-meter-wide abyss under his feet seemed like just a crossable ditch. His body drew a vigorous arc in the air, his arms swung vigorously to maintain balance, and his legs stretched forward as if to step on the endless darkness and fear.
At that moment, everyone stopped breathing and followed Tang Shengkai's figure with their eyes.
Time seemed to freeze, and only his figure, bravely moving forward, became the most shocking image in this world. Until he landed steadily on the other side of the abyss, a small splash of dust announced that this thrilling duel with the abyss had ended with his victory.
"Ha! It's over!"
"Yeah! It worked."
"Hahaha, awesome, Old Tang, my god!"
......
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Oh my God! God knows what they had just experienced. For a short moment, they felt that the world had stopped. In their eyes, apart from that figure, they could not see anything else.
However, Tang Shengkai did not stop after jumping to the other side, but ran directly towards the dense forest opposite.
Chen Erniu was a little dumbfounded. "Him? What did Old Tang do?"
The other people also looked at each other. Tang Shengkai had been leading them these days. They had no doubt that Tang Shengkai had run away, but they wanted to know why he ran away.
Xu Hongchang's eyes fell on the tall trees in the dense forest, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He thought he should know what Tang Shengkai was doing.
However, Old Tang had no tools in his hand, so how could he cut down the tree? He turned around and looked at the few people.
At least Old Tang was gone, and every survivor was a survivor. They, too, had to prepare for the worst.
"Old Tang should have gone over to chop down trees."
The few people understood what the battalion commander meant. They wanted to cross, but besides the rope, the only other options were trees. However, "Those trees look very thick. How can Old Tang get them?"
Xu Hongchang nodded. "That's what I was saying. Judging from his anxious look, the enemy shouldn't be far away from us. We should prepare for the worst. If the enemy comes..."
Chen Erniu answered quickly, "Don't worry, Captain. Even if the enemy comes, we have to take two people with us before we continue on our journey."
"Yes! Every one who survives is a success. Old Tang has already made it. Without us holding him back, he will definitely be able to get out of the Qinling Mountains, spread the news, and inform the troops of the situation here."
"Yes, we all believe in Old Tang."
Aside from Tang Shengkai, Li Weiguo had the sharpest ears among the group. Perhaps due to the experience he had accumulated over the years, he felt that the enemy was not far away.
There was no obstruction around them, otherwise they wouldn't have nearly lost their way. He had actually considered using this abyss as a trap, but the enemy had followed the clues and couldn't have escaped so quickly.
"Captain, we must be prepared. I feel the enemy is not far away."
Xu Hongchang nodded. He also felt that danger was coming. "Everyone, be prepared. Even if..."
"Battalion Commander, look, isn't that Old Tang?"
Several people looked towards the other side and saw from afar several huge trees as thick as those that could be hugged with both hands moving towards them.
Even the calm Xu Hongchang was no longer calm at this moment. What? What? Four big trees? Four!
How on earth did Old Tang manage to get here? He has so much strength...
Xu Hongchang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It's said that times make heroes. Old Tang was pushing them to their limits, wasn't he? He remembered that although this kid was stronger than others before, it wasn't to this extent. How could a tree like this, one alone, already support the sky? Now Old Tang had four.
In fact, it was not that Tang Shengkai did not want to get a few more, but he had already sensed that danger was coming and there was no more time for him.
Tang Shengkai carried four big trees to the edge of the cliff, threw them on the ground, then picked up one and sent it directly to Xu Hongchang and the others.
Walking on the thin balance beam is their daily exercise course, so it should be easy for them.
But after all, there is an abyss below, and this is not the time to test their psychological qualities. He must fight for as much chance of survival as possible for them.
They watched helplessly as a large tree stretched out to their feet. Before they could say anything, Tang Shengkai had already picked up the second piece of wood.
Soon after, the two pieces of wood were joined together.
It was smooth sailing for one person to pass through.
Xu Hongchang no longer hesitated, "Old Fei, you go first. Quick!"
Fei Shuwen knew what was on his mind. "Old Xu, let the others go first." He had already made preparations to send everyone over. In the end, if he...
Xu Hongchang didn't think much about it and decided that he should let everyone go over quickly.
"Chen Erniu, let's go!"
Chen Erniu looked at them stubbornly without moving.
Bu Mancang stepped forward and pushed him, "Hurry up, the enemy is coming."
Chen Erniu glanced at everyone, then gritted his teeth and ran up the wood.
Tang Shengkai had already stretched out the third piece of wood, and the three big trees together looked like a path.
Li Weiguo pulled Xu Hongchang up, and Wang Junhui was on the other side. The two of them pulled Xu Hongchang to the other side.
They thought Xu Hongchang's leg was not healed yet. Before Xu Hongchang could say anything, he was dragged to the middle of the abyss by two people. He could only run forward.
"Commissar, go!"
Bu Mancang pulled Fei Shuwen onto the path.
Just as the two of them took a few steps, they heard rustling sounds behind them.
Fei Shuwen: "Everyone, give Old Fei a five-star rating! This abyss is fucking terrifying!"
