Chapter 162: Cliff Rappelling
She became serious, a gastritis emanating from her body unconsciously, and said coldly: "But, putting aside the fact that the physical fitness gap can be made up for through acquired training, women's sense of responsibility, empathy, and ability to respond to emergencies are in no way inferior to men."
"My advocacy for gender equality doesn't mean women should dominate, but rather that men and women should respect each other and there shouldn't be a stereotyped division of labor in society. Such a division of labor is a constraint on women and also a constraint on society."
After Chu Qiao finished speaking, the voices of opposition died down, and those new fans seemed unable to find any points to refute.
There were not many voices of agreement. Deep-rooted ideas made many people pretend to be ignorant and unwilling to accept Chu Qiao's words.
Chu Qiao's expression relaxed, and she didn't dwell on the issue. She continued, "Just enjoy watching the live broadcast. It's for fun, and go to bed early." She knew that changing everyone's mindset required subtle influence.
Chu Qiao lay on his side, and the sound of Lu Zhan's shallow breathing came from the side.
Chu Qiao fell asleep, but more people couldn't sleep that night. Among these fans, there were men with critical thinking and women with independent thinking ability, all of whom were thinking about her words.
………………
The night passed smoothly under the dual protection of the flames and the acacia tree.
When he woke up in the morning, the flames had gone out. Chu Qiao took out the aloe vera and, without further processing, simply peeled the skin and handed it to Lu Zhan: "Make do with it. We need to hurry."
Three days had passed, but the journey was only halfway completed.
The two did not dare to delay and quickened their pace to the west. After more than an hour, they came to a bottomless cliff in the fog, which blocked their way.
The bare cliff edge was made of smooth rocks washed by rain. There were no trees to provide support, making it difficult to secure the rope.
Chu Qiao threw down a stone to measure the depth of the cliff. It was more than 200 meters high. If she insisted on climbing it with her bare hands, it would be very difficult, but it was not completely hopeless. After all, she still had an ice axe to use.
She looked at Lu Zhan: "Is it okay with an ice axe and no rope?"
Lu Zhan frowned deeply and shook his head, saying, "It's too dangerous. It's not a good idea."
Chu Qiao had to give up this plan considering Lu Zhan's safety. If he missed a step, he would definitely get injured on the cliff without any trees.
Lu Zhan rummaged through his backpack. Besides the aloe vera, there were only a few knives, an ice pick, and ropes. He sighed, "Is there nothing else I can use for support?"
Chu Qiao secretly cursed the system in his heart: You give so little and the difficulty is increased, you are terrible.
As he was thinking, Chu Qiao suddenly remembered the hyena leg bone he had picked up.
"Leg bones, maybe they can be used. Hyena bones are quite hard, you can give it a try."
Lu Zhan watched Chu Qiao take out the rope and bones, but he was still worried: "Can you hold on?"
"Let's give it a try."
Chu Qiao wrapped the rope around the bone and stuck the bone horizontally between two stones. The long rope dragged on the ground like a tail.
Chu Qiao picked up the rope and threw it over the cliff. "You go down first."
"Master Chu, aren't you going to let the doctor test the water first?"
"Master Chu is not that kind of person."
"Why not? Isn't this the situation now?"
"Master Chu can even do rock climbing with his bare hands, there's really no need for that."
The live broadcast room was buzzing with discussion, but Lu Zhan didn't hesitate. He pulled the rope in, and as he got off, he said, "I'll leave my life to you."
Chu Qiao nodded, and she sat on the edge of the cliff, holding the bone in her hand.
Lu Zhan lifted his feet into the air and slid down the rope. All the strength of Lu Zhan was pressed on the bone. Chu Qiao pressed the bone, fearing that it would not be able to bear it and fly out of the gap or break directly.
Every time Lu Zhan went down a meter, his body swung rhythmically to the edge of the cliff, and he pushed off with his feet and continued to slide down.
The further back you go, the more worn out the bones become where they are stuck on both sides of the stone.
Just when Chu Qiao felt that his bones could no longer hold on, the rope suddenly loosened and Lu Zhan's voice came over: "It's coming down."
Chu Qiao looked down and saw that Lu Zhan was unharmed, then she breathed a sigh of relief. If the people she brought with her were to die here, she would have a guilty conscience for the rest of her life.
Chu Qiao pulled up the loose rope in the same way as Lu Zhan. Chu Qiao was lighter, so he jumped down like a monkey, moving very fast and with a large amplitude.
Lu Zhan was watching from below with a horrified look on his face. "Slow down! The bone is so worn out that it can no longer fit tightly together. It keeps shaking."
When Chu Qiao heard this, he paused and slowed down.
Two meters above the ground, Chu Qiao let go of the rope and jumped directly. Lu Zhan instinctively stepped forward, and Chu Qiao had already landed steadily.
"Be a hero?"
Chu Qiao looked at Lu Zhan's face, which was obviously darkened, and his chest, which was breathing heavily.
"It's only two meters, not that serious."
Lu Zhan: "It's only been a month since the dislocation healed. If you get it again, I'll have to put you in a cast."
Chu Qiao felt a headache when he thought of the plaster. He waved his hand and said, "That's too much. Let's forget about the plaster."
Lu Zhan pulled the rope and adjusted the direction of the bone, letting the rope fall down.
After constant twitching and adjustment, the bone finally became upright and fell down with the rope.
With a sound of "Tie——".
The fallen bone broke into two pieces the moment it touched the ground.
Chu Qiao walked over and looked at the white bones with regret. The bones were no longer straight, but curved in the middle and covered with tiny cracks.
Chu Qiao handed the bone to the camera and said, "This bone is useless. It broke because it was bearing too much weight. The impact of the fall was just the last straw that broke the camel's back. So don't try to imitate us."
Lu Zhan kept nodding his head. Although he had received professional training in the military, he couldn't help but feel a little scared at this moment.
The two men rested for a while and then continued on their journey. The scenery below the cliff was completely different from that above the cliff. There was no grass on the cliff, but there was a vibrant green below the cliff.
The hairy grass here was growing like crazy. In the previous grassland, the hairy grass was half a meter high or one meter high. The hairy grass here was even more exaggerated, as high as a person. When Chu Qiao walked in the hairy grass, she couldn't see the top of her head at all.
"Where's Master Chu? I can't even see Master Chu anymore."
"This grass is too much of a nuisance, and we're not here to watch it live."
Once the drone gets close to the grass, it will not be able to fly at all. The leaves of the grass will be caught in the propeller of the drone, causing malfunction.
Chu Qiao needed to make a sound or stretch out his hand from time to time to let the drone keep up with his speed.
Chu Qiao: "Here. Follow me."
Just as Chu Qiao finished speaking, he heard a faint snoring sound.
She thought it was the sound of grass rubbing against each other, so she didn't pay any attention and continued walking.
But the further they walked, the louder the sound became. Chu Qiao's heart began to hang in the air, and he looked towards Lu Zhan.
