Ace Escapist

Chapter 31

The dense fog filled the sky, and the trees soared to the sky, which seriously blocked the light. Everyone walked on each other, the mountain road was steep, and there was no artificial road to walk on. Some people even sprained their feet accidentally.

Even with strong lights, Mo Weiyu can only see within ten meters, which shows how thick the fog is, not to mention the fog surrounding the entire edge of the fog city, which is probably in a state where you can't see your fingers.

Mo Weiyu was walking when she suddenly felt someone holding her hand, Luo Yun's cold face popped up in her mind, she turned her head and looked disappointed, Mu Xinran was holding her hand, and Luo Yun was leading the way , How could she suddenly appear behind her? She was really a little silly.

"It's best to hold hands in this situation," she said.

"En!" Mo Weiyu nodded.

Guo Min's eyes were cold, and he followed silently.

"Wei Yu, I'm a little scared!" Lu Xiaoxiao gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, but when she looked around, it was hazy, "Can I hold your hand too?"

Mo Weiyu lowered her head to look at her restless hands, holding a strong light in one hand and holding Mu Xinran in the other, she sighed like an old lady: "Cousin, just grab the corner of my clothes."

"Okay!" Lu Xiaoxiao was aggrieved.

"Sister, why don't you hold my hand?" Guo Min leaned forward and stretched out his hand, "I'm not afraid."

Lu Xiaoxiao hesitated, but when she saw Guo Min smiling, her brows and eyes were curved and polite, she also smiled, showing her friendliness, loosened the corner of Mowei's raincoat, and held Guo Min.

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Thank you so much."

Guo Min lowered his head and smiled, and slowed down a little: "You're welcome, my sister seems to have a good relationship with Mo Weiyu, are you good friends?"

"No, my dad is her uncle and doesn't like her, but I am her cousin, and I will take care of her on weekdays.

So I can only say that she is a little grateful to me, I hope she can treat me as a friend. "Lu Xiaoxiao smiled wryly.

"Oh?" Guo Min squinted her eyes and looked her up and down. She is not tall, has an ordinary appearance, and her complexion is a little yellow, but she has a weak temperament, which is indeed easy to soften people's hearts. She has changed a lot recently, maybe if my sister works harder, you can become very good friends."

Lu Xiaoxiao smiled far-fetchedly: "I hope so."

With a sound of "Hoo!", the black shadow passed by.

Lu Xiaoxiao was taken aback, and shouted loudly: "Something seemed to pass by me just now!"

Those who heard it were all vigilant, their footsteps slowed down, and the lights looked around, only their footsteps and rapid breathing were around, their sight was not clear, and they were shrouded in thick fog, as if they were locked here, everywhere. Trees, difficult to discern the direction.

Mo Weiyu stopped, and turned the bright lights around: "Cousin, did you see what it was just now?"

"No, it seems to be a small thing."

Suddenly, someone on the other side shouted: "It's a weasel, a lot of weasels!"

Mo Weiyu turned around, pulled Mu Xinran and ran over, only to see a dozen weasels blocking the road ahead, with yellow hair, slightly black tail and limbs, and white fluffy belly, they looked cute, but they Baring his teeth, he became fierce, especially those dozen pairs of eyes, which were shining with a dim light.

"Crack!" they screamed as they stepped forward.

Fang Chang took a wooden stick and drove them towards them: "Go, go back where they came from, we don't have any chickens for you to eat!"

The weasel spread out to avoid it, but still surrounded it.

With a movement of Mu Xinran's wrist, the revolver appeared: "Don't be so troublesome, kill one with one shot, and they will naturally escape."

Before Mu Xinran could shoot, the weasel disappeared in a flash. Mo Weiyu frowned. How could she feel that the weasel ran away after seeing the revolver.

Mu Xinran shrugged: "Tsk, save me bullets."

Fang Chang shook the headlamp to everyone, and said loudly, "Okay, it's all right, it's just a dozen weasels, it's a false alarm, let's continue climbing."

Although they were only weasels, these weasels Mo Weiyu always felt a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was weird, so she could only gather her energy and observe carefully.

The road the team walked was getting steeper and more slippery, because there was a lot of humidity in the mountains at night, and the soil on the ground was soft and difficult to walk on, and people would slip and fall from time to time.

"President, we have been walking for so long, why haven't we arrived yet?"

Xiao Hai glanced at his watch, it was almost four o'clock in the morning, and the sun was about to rise.

But because of the heavy fog, it was still pitch black around them at this moment.

Fang Chang took out the map and pointed it with a compass: "Strange, it should be close."

"We should have deviated." Luo Yun walked up to Fang Chang, stretched out her hand and turned the compass around, and after the needle of the compass stopped spinning, it pointed in the other direction, "This heavy fog has already disturbed the direction of the compass." The magnetic field and the compass are useless."

"Then what should we do?" Fang Chang was a little anxious.

Luo Yun was silent for a while, she took out her mobile phone and looked at it, but there was no signal at all: "Do you have a satellite phone?"

"Yes!" Fang Chang handed her the same black brick phone, "You can only make local calls, and you can't connect outside."

"En, that's enough." Luo Yun pressed a few times to answer, "Xia Fenfen, where are you now?"

"En?" Xia Fenfen's laughter came from the phone, "I've already arrived in the village, why, have you lost your way?"

Luo Yun: "Yes, come and pick me up."

"Hehe, this mountain road is not just as simple as climbing a mountain. If I want to pick you up, I have to walk over the cliff bridge again."

Luo Yun looked coldly: "Tell me about your conditions."

"Promise me, stay away from Mo Weiyu."

Luo Yun hung up immediately, and threw the satellite phone back to Fang Chang: "You saw trees..."

Fang Chang suddenly realized: "That's right, why didn't I think of that." He turned around and went to greet the staff.

Luo Yun squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil. When the light was on, the color was quite dark, and she used the searchlight to observe a relatively independent tree.

Although the fog city was shrouded in thick fog, these trees had fully absorbed the sunlight before.

So the tree had one leafy side and the bark was smooth, and then she just had to look at the rings again.

After a while, under the joint efforts of everyone, the big tree fell. Luo Yun observed it and pointed to one side: "Go here, be careful not to go astray."

"Yes!" Everyone cheered.

The hillside was steep, and everyone climbed for three full hours. There was a slight light around them. It was not so dark that it was difficult to see, but there was a cliff in front of it. There were not too thick round wooden piles inserted under the cliff, which were located on the cliff. , gradually descending, and the bottom of the cliff is still shrouded in fog, and the bottom cannot be seen.

"What the hell is this?" Someone was startled, "How do we get down here? What if we fall to our death?"

"This is the Cliff Bridge. It is said that the villagers of Huang Dao built it themselves, so that the villagers can save a lot of time going to the market." Luo Yun explained.

"I can't, I can't... I can't, I'm afraid of heights, my legs are weak, one of you can help me."

"My legs are weak too!"

Mo Weiyu looked down, a gust of cold breath blew past, lifted the hair on her forehead, swept away all the heat of climbing the mountain, leaving only cold shivering.

Is this the first mission without the novice protection period?On the road alone, they have encountered many difficult problems, so what is waiting for them in the village?

Lu Xiaoxiao's legs also softened, and she hugged Guo Min subconsciously: "Why is there such a bridge in such a developed fog city? What should I do? I'm afraid of heights. How can I get over this?"

Fang Chang also lost his mind: "What should I do?"

Luo Yun took out the mountaineering bag exchanged in the watch, took out a bundle of ropes inside, and fixed it on the thickest tree: "This is an infinite rope, I will go down first and fix the rope on the mountain wall, you guys Fix the climbing rope on the waist respectively, and fix it on the rope with two safety locks."

When Fang Chang heard the words, he immediately refused: "No, how can I let you, a girl, put yourself in danger? I'm not afraid of heights, I'll go."

In terms of sports, Mo Weiyu is confident. She took a step, but before she even opened her mouth, she received Luo Yun's warning gaze, which made her stop.

"In this case, there is no such thing as a man or a woman." Luo Yun had already tied the rope around her waist, pulled the rope, and after confirming that it was secure, she stepped on the first stake without hesitation. She supported the cliff, slowly Move down, "Seeing me send a signal flare, it means I'm fixed."

Fang Chang nodded, worried and nervous on his face: "Okay, I understand, then you should be careful."

Under the cliff, the cold wind was even stronger, whistling from behind her, blowing her ponytail straight, and hitting her face hard.

At this moment, Luo Yun looked a little bleak after losing that edge.Seeing this, Mo Weiyu couldn't help but clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and endured.

Luo Yun would use nail buckles to fix the rope at intervals, and the nail buckles would spring off automatically, tightly pinching the gap in the cliff wall.

If there is no gap, she will use a hammer to drive the hole into the stone one by one.

Row after row of nails, gradually, the thick fog covered Luo Yun's figure, and Mo Weiyu watched closely.

Even though it was foggy, she didn't dare to relax at all, for fear of missing the signal flare.

Fang Chang occasionally looked at his watch anxiously, seeing the time passing by, he kept walking back and forth, and the time was getting closer and closer to ten o'clock, but the signal flare was still there for a long time.

"Wei Yu, relax." Mu Xinran didn't even blink when she saw her, "Luo Yun is so smart, nothing will happen."

Mo Weiyu was under the cliff with all her energy, and she had no time to answer. She squinted her eyes slightly to relieve the soreness in her eyes.

She didn't rub her eyes until she saw the rope shaking imperceptibly, and then fixed her eyes, but it was calm.

"President, let's go down one by one first, it will take too much time." Xiao Hai said.

"But..." Fang Chang hesitated.

Xiao Hai pointed to the countdown on the watch: "President, we have been delayed for a long time. We only have more than one hour left, and the time is running out. If we don't arrive on time, we don't know what will happen."

"Tch, it's not because Mo Weiyu was delayed for more than half an hour." One of the male classmates pointed to Lu Xiaoxiao and said, "I just heard that Mo Weiyu deliberately delayed the time to wait for her cousin."

Guo Min curled his lips into a smile, and looked sideways at the silent person beside him: "Is that so?"

Lu Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip and looked pitifully.

For a moment, everyone turned their attention to Mo Weiyu, and they all had anger in their eyes: "Mo Weiyu, if we don't arrive on time, you will take all the blame!"

Mo Weiyu pursed her lips, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, after all, she had been vaccinated by Luo Yun before.

On the contrary, it made her suspicious of her silent cousin.

Mu Xinran stood in front of him: "Okay, what you say now is useless, I think it's better to follow what Xiao Hai said, don't wait, follow the rope and go down first, at least the road ahead is safe."

Guo Min nodded: "No matter what the time wasted at that time, arguing now is not only useless, but also a waste of more time."

"Well, everyone, get ready, we're going down." Fang Chang raised his hand to interrupt everyone, and signaled, "One man and one woman, go down one by one."

Everyone gave up and began to tie the safety rope.

"Wei Yu, what are you waiting for, put the safety rope on your waist!" Mu Xinran shook her shoulders.

Mo Weiyu was thinking about the rope just now, she was very focused because she was worried about Luo Yun, and she did see the rope shaking.

Although very subtle, this slight shaking seemed to warn them not to approach.

Seeing the crowd queuing down the cliff one by one, she opened her mouth, but finally said nothing, but tied the safety rope with the team and stepped into the cliff.
