Song Zhiqiu did not agree with what the previous student said. It seemed safe to take a detour, but in fact, the unpredictable risks were greater.
"But this is a suspended elevated slope, about three stories high. If you fall down without paying attention, the worst that can happen is a broken bone."
"I think what Song Zhiqiu said makes sense. The unpredictable risks after dark are too great, and when we go down the elevated slope, we at least know the dangers we may encounter. I choose to take the shortcut and pass under the elevated slope."
An elevated slope refers to a place where the mountain body is disconnected from the root of the mountain. The top is solid, but the bottom is empty. You cannot walk on it and you have to lower ropes down to pass through.
Xu Wen glanced at the mountain village where we were staying tonight and whispered, "Before we set off, a senior from the senior year told me that if we didn't reach the village, we would stay here..."
She pointed to a location on the electronic map, her face turning pale as she lowered her voice, "This is where the ancestors of the mountain villagers rest for generations. It is said that there are ghost lights here. I choose to take the elevated slope."
She was most afraid of spending the night in a cemetery, so she would rather choose a shortcut that looked dangerous but actually required only a little caution.
Xu Wen's words made the faces of the male students change slightly. Well, although they were soldiers and believed in materialism, the hurdle in their hearts... was a bit difficult to get over.
Song Zhiqiu looked at Ye Jian. The final decision was on Ye Jian's side, and he believed that with Ye Jian's command ability, she must have the answer in her mind.
"Take the shortcut. Vice Captain Song Zhiqiu and I will go down first, and then you can come down. This road has been walked by our senior brothers and sisters before. We are just walking it again. Be careful, it won't be a big problem."
"Besides, this is a test to see if we have passed our usual training. It is not a wise choice to take the long way just to avoid the escape rope."
Ye Jian slowed down his speech and spoke word by word. His clear and cool voice, neither too high nor too low, was very penetrating. He expressed his own opinions and helped the students understand which choice was the wisest.
Her words made several students who paid attention to safety but missed the key points nodded.
That’s true. You have to choose the more important of the two and not lose the watermelon while picking up sesame seeds.
After a half-hour break, the fifteen students shook off the ants that had crawled into their bodies, applied some cooling oil on their rash-infected skin, and poured out the fine dust and stones that were hurting their feet in their military boots. You leaned on me, I leaned on you, to refresh ourselves before setting off again.
They had to reach the village where they would stay tonight before dark, so they needed to hurry.
When they reached the most dangerous overhead slope today, several male students found two fir trees to wrap the escape rope tightly around, then held the rope tightly with both hands and pushed their feet against the fir trees to ensure it was tied tightly.
It was suspended three stories high in the air, and one escape rope could not reach the bottom, so three escape ropes were used to tie it together and finally lower it down.
"OK, throw the escape rope down. Put on the descender."
"complete."
Song Zhiqiu and Ye Jian buckled the descender onto the escape rope, put their backpacks on tightly, placed their rifles horizontally on the backpacks, and gave their comrades a thumbs up to indicate "everything is done".
"Prepare to rappel."
Several male students were still tightening the ropes tied to the fir tree. Everyone stared at the two people who began to rappel, and held their breath a little.
This was their first wilderness survival training, and they had to rely on themselves for everything. If something unexpected happened, they had to solve it themselves. No one wanted to have any accidents happen in the wild mountains and sparsely populated areas.
