Chapter 171 Linked Together (11) - Teammate Sacrificed?
Si Zhong hammered several nails into the side of the rock and finally managed to climb up.
He turned around to pull Ning Shu up, only to find that she had somehow gotten up there and was standing nearby, looking at him with some surprise and uncertainty: "When did you get up here?"
Ning Shu: "We came up at the same time as you."
Si Zhong: "You can come up by yourself?" Then what was he busy with just now?
Ning Shu understood Si Zhong's meaning; he was simply saying that she could come up by herself, but she wouldn't bring him up, leaving him with a lot of trouble.
He quickly explained, "My skills only allow me to get up here by myself; I can't carry you. You're too heavy."
Si Zhong ignored her and turned to leave.
Ning Shu then turned to look at where they were. Although they hadn't hit the bottom, they were close, because they had returned to the place where they had climbed the wooden ladder yesterday.
So all my efforts last night were for nothing?
If I had known this would happen, I would have just slept down here last night. Why bother?
Si Zhong's face darkened, and without saying a word, he walked towards the ladder and started climbing without even saying hello. Ning Shu quickly followed.
She felt the atmosphere was tense and decided it was best not to provoke this unpredictable and ruthless man.
The two of them climbed again, huffing and puffing, and naturally encountered moving nails again, but this time they were not bothered by birds.
After all, most of them were killed by Si Zhong, and a small number were slaughtered by him, so for the time being no one dares to come and offer their heads.
The two of them didn't stop along the way, retracing the path they had taken before, and finally arrived at the place where they had fallen.
Ning Shu was panting heavily from exhaustion. Si Zhong seemed to have gone mad, running incredibly fast and almost dragging her across the ground like a rag.
Especially when passing through that section where you could have driven, but because they drove the car to the other side, you could only walk.
That part was actually quite thrilling, especially the part where the rocks were falling. Ning Shu couldn't keep up with the speed and wasn't as agile as Si Zhong.
Si Zhong really did carry her around; she had completely become an accessory in Si Zhong's hands.
Standing in front of where they had fallen, Ning Shu originally wanted to tell Si Zhong her solution, but she gave up after studying it for a while.
She discovered that the laser's distance from the pillar was at most 10 centimeters, a distance that her method couldn't handle.
It turns out she was thinking she could use her skills to climb backwards and hug the base of the pillar.
Si Zhong's grip strength is so strong that he can hang upside down on the pillar and move forward by gripping the pillar, but he has to cross his legs and hang on the pillar.
He was hanging upside down on the pillar with his legs crossed. The length of his legs exceeded the maximum distance between the laser and the pillar, so this method was eliminated.
She could go by herself, but she couldn't take Si Zhong with her because she couldn't pick him up like a chick.
Bound by chains, the two could not cross one over the other, because the chains would trip them up with the laser beams.
Ning Shu looked at Si Zhong and suggested a method that a normal person couldn't do, but perhaps Si Zhong could: "Could you carry me and jump to the other side together without stopping in the middle?"
Si Zhong glanced at her but ignored her. Forget whether he could do it; why should he carry her on his back? Dream on.
Seeing his expression, Ning Shu shut up and stopped thinking about it, since the other person didn't care anyway.
When it comes to clearing the level, she could try her best with other people, but with this unpredictable guy, she decided to give up.
Si Zhongzhen had really come up with a plan. Without even looking at Ning Shu, he said, "Let's go."
Ning Shu wanted to ask him what his plan was, but she immediately shut up. Anyway, someone was even less willing to lose than her, hmph.
The two stood on the pillar, one in front of the other, and took two steps forward, getting closer to the laser.
The lasers seemed to sense their arrival and began to move. They appeared to be moving very slowly, but Ning Shu knew it was all an illusion.
The dog game was deliberately designed to lull them into a false sense of security; they were just fooled by that illusion.
Ning Shu was waiting for Si Zhong's instructions. When she saw Si Zhong turn around, she was about to ask a question when she saw Si Zhong reach out and push her down.
As Ning Shu fell, she stared wide-eyed at Si Zhong in disbelief.
Thinking he was acting crazy again and preparing to sacrifice his teammates, they saw Si Zhong jump down from the other side of the pillar.
?
Her mind was filled with questions. What? He not only wanted to sacrifice his teammates, but also himself? What kind of ritual was this?
The two were hanging on either side of the pillar by chains. The sudden change didn't even give her a chance to scream. Then she saw Si Zhong fall because he was heavier than her, and she almost hit the pillar.
In fact, her body didn't hit the impact, but her hand did, and the pain made her tears stream down her face like a cascading waterfall.
Her body was still rising, and if she went any higher she would have to flip over the pillar, and the two of them would fall down again.
"Grab onto the pillar, hold on, and we'll get across like this."
Si Zhong realized he had miscalculated, forgetting the difference in importance between Ning Shu, this little potato, and himself.
Ning Shu was almost driven mad by him; he made it sound like she could do it so easily.
Now she braced her hands against the bottom of the pillar, trying her best to keep herself steady and not let herself fall over the pillar because of Si Zhong's weight.
Si Zhongze kept swinging his body below, making a pendulum motion, which caused the chains on the pillar to slide forward continuously.
When their chains passed through the laser, the laser suddenly became very fast, and the two lasers became even faster after each encounter.
This clearly indicates that the game is not going to be easily passed by players.
Ning Shu's face was flushed red from holding her breath. She couldn't even speak, and she was holding her breath to keep going, urging Si Zhong to hurry up, or she wouldn't be able to hold on.
Si Zhong probably knew her capabilities, so he moved quickly, and the two of them soon slid to the end of the pillar.
At its end floated a stone, with a distance of more than a meter between the pillar and the stone. With one last swing, Si Zhong jumped directly to the side of the stone.
At this moment, Ning Shu, unable to hold on any longer, flipped over the pillar and fell straight down.
Fortunately, there was a protruding spot on the lower part of the side wall that Si Zhong could step on, giving him a foothold so he could pull Ning Shu, who was falling down, up with him.
He pulled Ning Shu up directly, made Ning Shu stand on the protruding spot, and after Ning Shu was steady, he climbed up.
After climbing up, he pulled Ning Shu up as well.
Ning Shu, who had been pulled up, lay on the ground panting. She had almost died from holding her breath.
If she really dies, she'll probably be the first person to suffocate from holding her breath.
Si Zhong looked down at Ning Shu, whose face was flushed and whose chest was heaving, and seemed to be deep in thought.
Perhaps out of consideration for her efforts, he didn't urge her any further, but patiently waited on the side.
