Chapter 174 Rescue
When Lin Fan woke up the next morning, he found that it was raining outside.
The rain was neither heavy nor light, it should have started at night. The ground was wet and dirty and slippery.
Hide in the tent, have breakfast, and put on your raincoat. Packed up the tent with Song Ren's help. The group of people continued walking forward.
It was already the fifth day for Jiang You to enter the woods, and everyone felt more or less tired.
This kind of fatigue cannot be completely relieved by sleeping at night.
The rain in spring is still relatively cold.
Jiang You’s team all wore driving uniforms and helmets. Theoretically speaking, using the most advanced special materials, water will automatically slide away when it falls on the clothes and will not soak the clothes.
But they will still feel cold after being soaked in the rain for a long time.
Coupled with the fatigue accumulated in the past few days, Jiang You and the others felt terrible.
Exoskeleton mechas are not as good as full-coverage mechas in this regard.
Song Ren seemed to have anticipated their predicament. Li Chunhua was specially asked to lead the way, and Jiang You and the other six were asked to follow Li Chunhua.
He led Lin Fan behind Jiang You's team, maintaining a few body distances. Gao Fei and Ji Yu broke up.
The road today is particularly difficult. Not only was it rainy and slippery, but the terrain was also not good.
Most of it is uphill, and there are steep slopes.
Because of the rain, everyone's view was not very good. The exoskeleton team, in particular, always had to clean the eyepieces on their helmets from time to time.
Fortunately, around 9 o'clock, the rain gradually stopped.
Both Lin Fan and the exoskeleton team breathed a sigh of relief.
This feeling of clammy and coldness is really uncomfortable.
Although the rain stopped, everyone could not stop immediately.
They were walking on a muddy path. The road was narrow and slippery, and could only be passed by a single mecha.
One side of the trail is a steep slope, covered with invisible green plants and thorns. The inability to see the bottom reminded Lin Fan of a cliff.
She quickly leaned to the other side to prevent herself from accidentally sliding down.
She can move to the side, but the exoskeleton in front cannot.
Jiang You somehow slipped and was about to fall down the steep slope.
The people behind saw this and quickly pulled her away. With a hard effort, Jiang You was pulled back, and the person pulling her slipped down.
A few people were shocked and looked over. The man grabbed a few rattans in time and hung them ten meters below.
The rattan doesn’t look very strong and may break soon.
"Quick! Pull him up!" Jiang Youben wanted everyone in the team to hold hands and pull the fallen person up.
But the road was so slippery that they could not stabilize themselves. Maybe no one could save them, and they all slipped down.
Although the mechas of Song Ren and others are heavy and will basically not slip, they are also difficult to operate.
If Jiang You and the five people were connected into a human chain, and they grabbed Fuguang and fixed it, they would not slip off, but the length of the several people connected was still a little short, and they would not be able to reach it at all.
And the road above is so narrow that it is impossible for several people to line up.
After several attempts, the already narrow road surface collapsed again. If we continue, maybe even Song Ren and the others may fall down.
“What should I do?” Jiang You was anxious.
Seeing that the cane in the man's hand broke, he slid down another section. She could only turn to Song Ren for help. It is of course possible to ask for help from the outside, but water far away cannot save a fire nearby.
The steep slope cannot be seen to the end at a glance, and it is not clear how high it is. I don’t know what’s going on below. If a person really slides down, there is no telling what he will face.
The exoskeleton itself is not light either. It is still a half-package structure and has poor protection.
In this suspended state, the skeleton pulls the driver downward. The person who slipped had his hands tightly clinging to the rattan, unable to release the device.
If he is allowed to slide down a steep slope of unknown depth, it is really hard to say what harm the driver inside will face.
You can’t just watch people fall.
If something goes wrong, they will definitely blame themselves for the rest of their lives and regret not trying their best to rescue now.
"..." Looking at the predicament in front of him, Song Ren actually knew a quick solution, but...should he tell Jiang You and the others?
"Captain Song, help us!" Seeing Song Ren's attitude, the others knew there was still hope and begged in unison.
Just at this moment, the person below slid down a little more, and it was almost impossible to see him from above.
"You can save people, but you have to swear not to tell anyone about what you will see later."
A few people thought Song Ren would tell him how to save people, but they didn't expect him to say this. . Even Jiang You, who was interested in Song Ren, was stunned.
"What time has it been and are you still talking about this? Save people first!" Someone was dissatisfied and said irritably.
Jiang You intuitively believed in Song Ren's character, "I swear, I promise not to tell anyone what I will see later."
Others also knew that the situation was urgent. Although they were dissatisfied, they still gritted their teeth and promised to act urgently.
"Lin Fan!" Song Ren lowered his head and saw that Lin Fan had already taken off his backpack, handed it to Li Chunhua, and was taking off his coat.
Others saw Song Ren calling her eldest lady at this time, and they didn't know why. He watched Lin Fan slowly take off his coat and hang it on the rack next to him.
The impatient man was about to curse, but suddenly his vision blurred, and Lin Fan, who was still standing just now, disappeared.
Huh? Where are people?
Jiang You and the others didn't react at all when there was movement behind them.
When they turned around, the fallen team member and his exoskeleton had been lifted up from behind by a white mecha.
At first glance, the mecha was the same as Song Ren and the others, but it was slightly smaller.
The white mecha gently placed the unidentified driver on the flat road.
Everyone was anxious and angry, and the desperate rescue was solved in such an understatement.
Jiang You and the others stared blankly at the white mecha. Suddenly, the mecha disappeared again, and Lin Fan emerged from behind the exoskeleton.
"I borrowed it." She turned sideways, carefully pressed against the exoskeletons of several people, and walked back while wiping the branches next to her.
He walked until Li Chunhua, shook his body, quickly put on his coat, and exhaled, "It's so cold."
She dressed slowly and leisurely, carried her backpack, and took care of everything. , but when she looked up, the people in Jiang You's team were still looking at her motionless.
"Huh? Why don't you leave?" Lin Fan felt that this place was unlucky, and something would happen if he thought about it. It's better to leave quickly.
"What happened?" The person who fell just now was still confused. Why did no one care about him even after he finally got there?
Also, how did he get up here?
"Okay, let's leave here first. When we get to a suitable place, I will tell you slowly." Song Ren didn't want to Stayed on this road too long, urged.
He had just sent a message to the group and received a reply. Now that he has seen it, he should say something appropriately.
Anyway, they have to sign an agreement when they go out.
