Chapter 128 Danger is approaching
In the end, the desire to survive prevailed.
Leng Xue is a retired special police officer who has undergone rigorous training, but she is also a girl in her prime. She also longs for a better life and pursues romantic love, and does not want her life to end here.
"Leng Xue, believe me." Chu Tianshu still said in a gentle tone.
"I...don't care about you!" Leng Xue pretended to be stubborn and continued to resist, but her tone was much softer. Chu Tianshu's refusal to abandon or give up filled her with confidence and strength.
"Okay, don't be angry. I've already gone up the mountain. I'm probably not far from you. Where are you?" Chu Tianshu finally told the truth.
However, Leng Xue didn't believe it. She thought Chu Tianshu was trying to deceive her into agreeing. "Chu Tianshu, you have good intentions, but don't lie to me, okay?"
Chu Tianshu was really a little anxious, and he kept saying: "I just passed a bluestone bridge, and now I am in a dense forest. I saw Wan Zhiliang's motorcycle passing by."
Leng Xue finally believed it. It turned out that Chu Tianshu had taken the risk to follow her. She couldn't help crying again. This man risked his life for her.
"I, in front, in mid-air over the cliff, I fell from the mountain road." Leng Xue spoke intermittently because of her excitement.
"Cliff?" Chu Tianshu became nervous. He raised his binoculars and finally saw clearly that there was a cliff at the bottom of the mountain road. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you injured?"
"It's okay." Leng Xue moved his hands and feet. Although there was some pain in some places, it was not serious overall.
"Don't worry, I'm coming up." Chu Tianshu got on the bicycle and held up his mobile phone with one hand, trying to appear calm and calm.
While riding, Chu Tianshu said: "Tell me your current position."
"I don't know. I just remember that one side is a tall and straight mountain cliff, the other side is an unfathomable cliff, and the mountain road is an uphill slope. At that time, my electric car hit a rock."
Chu Tianshu looked up and saw that the stars were shining in the night sky, and a crescent moon hung alone.
"Do you still have your backpack?"
Leng Xue touched her back and said, "It's still there."
"Okay, Leng Xue, when I get to the place, I will notify you. Take out the miniature flashlight, turn it on, and shake it towards the sky a few times. I should be able to observe it with the telescope." The mobile phone sounded an alarm that the battery was low.
Chu Tianshu said: "The battery of the mobile phone is running low, so hang up first."
Leng Xue couldn't help but feel her face burning up, and cursed secretly: Why are you so excited? You have even forgotten the simplest way to search.
Chu Tianshu pedaled his bicycle and found the approximate place according to the terrain described by Leng Xue. He called Leng Xue again and said, "I arrived at the place you just mentioned."
"However, when I fell off, the electric car rushed far away." Leng Xue replied, she finally got rid of her emotions and became calm and rational again.
"Then you turn on your military flashlight and shine it into the sky for ten seconds. I'll see if I can determine your location."
"No, if you can see it, others can also see it." Out of the instinct of a special police officer, Leng Xue changed her focus. She didn't want to expose her position. In fact, she was afraid that Wan Zhiliang and the others would see them and come over again.
If so, Chu Tianshu would be in danger.
"But, since I can't determine your location, I can't rescue you." Chu Tianshu insisted. "Leng Xue, don't hesitate. Your phone's battery is running low."
Leng Xue was moved by Chu Tianshu's fearless spirit, but she was still a little scared in her heart: even if she took the risk of shining a military flashlight into the sky for ten seconds, the light from the flashlight would not necessarily reach the top of the cliff, just in time for Chu Tianshu to shine.
Tianshu discovered that, in fact, the power of her mobile phone was almost exhausted. She was afraid that before Chu Tianshu could find her location, the mobile phones of both parties would run out of power due to frequent contact and interrupt the contact. Then she would really fall into a trap.
There is no way to ask for help.
Leng Xue finally had to agree to Chu Tianshu's suggestion, took out a military flashlight and shined it into the sky for ten seconds.
The first person to discover this beam of light was not Chu Tianshu, but Wan Zhiliang.
Wan Zhiliang and his security guards searched around the scene where the electric car fell, but found nothing. They could only confirm that the electric car fell on the rocks, and they did not get Leng Xue's laptop hanging on the handlebar.
, there is no way to confirm that Leng Xue is dead.
Wan Zhiliang was not resigned and carefully examined the terrain with a flashlight.
This is a deep valley, surrounded by cliffs, forming a large natural pit, which the local villagers call "Tiankeng".
It is said that more than ten years ago, a brave villager wanted to go down to find his cow that fell into the sinkhole. He went down with a rope, but when he dropped to about 50 meters, he couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly beat the gong.
Ask the people above to pull him up.
If a person falls, let alone being killed or injured, even a normal person will never be able to climb up by his own strength.
Wan Zhiliang thought for a while and decided to take the brothers who had worked hard for most of the night back to the villa to rest. After dawn, he would use ropes to lower them down, find the fragments of the laptop and Leng Xue's body, and then go back to report to Qin Daming.
When Wan Zhiliang and others were riding their motorcycles down to the mountainside, one of the guys looked back unconsciously and discovered a beam of light.
"Hey, look!" the guy shouted.
The motorcycle stopped, and Wan Zhiliang looked in the direction of his finger, only to see a beam of light on the cliff wall that lasted for about ten seconds.
"There is someone, it must be the guy who fell." Someone guessed.
"No way, the person would have died if he fell, could it be a will-o'-the-wisp?" After being busy for most of the night, some people didn't want to climb the mountain exhaustingly anymore.
Wan Zhiliang didn't say anything. He was already observing with a telescope.
He used a military telescope with night vision function, and the optical observation effect was very good. He used the moonlight to see another light moving continuously on the hillside. He judged that the person was talking on the mobile phone.
I am also looking for the direction of the beam of light on the edge of the cliff.
Wan Zhiliang woke up suddenly: they were a man and a woman. The man who fell off the cliff did not fall to death. He called his helper on his mobile phone. The helper was using his mobile phone to contact the person who fell and tried to use the flashlight to call him.
Pinpoint the location of the fallen person.
Wan Zhiliang immediately ordered the motorcycle to turn off its lights, covered the flashlight with a cloth, and turned around to make a surprise attack on the top of the mountain.
With the help of the description on the phone and the instructions of the flashlight, Chu Tianshu finally saw the beam of light shining from the edge of the cliff in the third ten seconds.
Lengxue's position was several meters away from where she fell.
Chu Tianshu pushed the bicycle and estimated that it had reached the top where the light was emitting. He took off the mountaineering backpack from the back seat of the bicycle, took out a small flashlight with strong light from the bag, bit it in his mouth, and then took it out of the bag.
He took out two life ropes. He tied one of them to the branch of a big tree on the side of the road, and then connected the other end. Then, he put the mountaineering bag on his back and checked it carefully with the light of a small flashlight.
Is the knot of the lifeline secure?
More than five years have passed since the orienteering training during the summer vacation of his freshman year. Chu Tianshu looked at the dark cliff, feeling a little nervous. He pulled the lifeline hard to make sure it could withstand the strength of two people, and then
Breathing out a long breath, he put the lifeline around his right thigh, across his chest, from his left shoulder to his back to his right waist. He held the back part of the lifeline with his right hand, and then he walked along the almost vertical line.
The steep slope moves slowly downward.
This is the most standard abseil method in wilderness survival training. The most important trick is to release the weight of the body evenly onto the lifeline. Do not hold the lifeline tightly with both hands just because you are afraid of falling. The weight of the entire body
You have to rely on your hands to bear it. In this way, the strength in your hands will soon be exhausted, and you will be unable to do anything when it comes to climbing up.
When descending, your hands are only used to control the speed of your body's descent.
However, this cliff was completely different from the artificial rocks used for training. It was damp, smooth, and covered with moss. Chu Tianshu focused his attention on controlling the rhythm of retracting and retracting the lifeline. When his foot slipped, his body immediately lost his balance.
His whole body immediately slid down the rope quickly, and it was not until he firmly grasped the front and rear ends of the life rope with both hands that he stopped his falling.
Chu Tianshu's body was hanging in the air, but his mind was still very clear.
He swayed his body and his feet soon touched the straight cliff. His body pressed tightly against the cliff and stopped moving. At this time, his right thigh suffered severe pain. He gritted his teeth and reminded himself that he was undergoing a full exercise.
Dangerous formal rescue operations, rather than simulated training organized by orienteering clubs, require staying awake and calm.
The length of a single rope is thirty meters, and the fall just now was about forty meters. His thigh should have been strangled when he slipped through the knot of the rope.
Chu Tianshu looked around and found a protruding rock on the cliff. He stepped on the rock and held the lifeline with one hand. The other hand raised the night vision binoculars hanging around his neck and looked around.
The trees and rocks on the cliff are clearly visible, but there is no sunken area that Leng Xue mentioned.
Chu Tianshu took out his cell phone and dialed Leng Xue.
"I'm already on the cliff. I've probably dropped more than 40 meters. If you hold your flashlight up to the sky for ten seconds, I'll see if I can be near you."
"The light of the flashlight is too weak. You may not be able to see it from a long distance." Leng Xue hesitated.
"I have night vision binoculars. Come on, don't waste time."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Leng Xue was so gentle and obedient for the first time.
Chu Tianshu didn't think too much, he focused on the image of the night vision telescope.
Half a minute passed. Chu Tianshu quickly looked around several times, but still found nothing.
He called Leng Xue's cell phone again: "Did you call?"
"Hit."
"Hit him again, for thirty seconds." Chu Tianshu said, his heart also filled with fear. He knew that with each additional beating, there would be one more chance of being exposed to Wan Zhiliang.
"Okay." Leng Xue obeyed obediently and turned on the flashlight again.
Chu Tianshu looked around again through the night vision telescope, but still did not find any light beams shining on him.
He hasn't found any trace of Leng Xue yet, but danger has quietly struck.
Chapter completed!
