Zombies take me as air

Chapter 167 Fortunately, it's okay
The rope was tied to the half of the building beside the pit, and only half of the building remained, with square pillars at the corners.

Lu Xiangbei tied the rope around the pillar. He used a high-altitude safety rope.

The rope is relatively thick, so that he can move back and forth below without wearing the rope too quickly.

He was the one who made the rope buckle and the noose. Two ropes were tied to his body, one was the rope on the pillar, and the other was held in Kong Qi's hand.

If he has an accident below and cannot climb up by himself, Kong Qi can pull him up.

This is Kong Qi's request, to divide the two ropes, otherwise she is not at ease.

Lu Xiangbei made preparations, retreated to the edge of the tiankeng, and slid down little by little.

They found a few climbing picks from an outdoor goods store. The wind was strong down the pit, so Lu Xiangbei had to hold on to the pit wall to stabilize his body.

He wore anti-skid crampons for climbing on his shoes, and he controlled the rope to lower down little by little.

When he descended to a depth of 50 meters, the wind suddenly subsided, and he felt that he had entered a very quiet space.

Only the breeze was blowing on his sore cheeks from the cold.

Kong Qi waited anxiously on the top, so she simply took a rope and tied it to another pillar in the half of the building, then walked to the edge of the pit and looked down.

Lu Xiangbei's figure had disappeared into the darkness, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that there was danger under the tiankeng.

This flustered feeling is exactly what humans fear when facing the unknown.

The ground was bitingly windy, and the breath turned into ice. Kong Qi did not wear the metal bracelet, so she lost her extraordinary resilience.

She can't stand still, she has to run and jump every 10 minutes.

Her palms were covered with cold sweat, and she couldn't stay calm at all.

Lu Xiangbei went down for more than half an hour, but no sound came back.

The rope was shaking slightly, from which she knew that Lu Xiangbei was still sliding down.

Kong Qi was so cold that she almost turned into an ice sculpture. She lit a fire in half of the building, which was fortunately sheltered from the wind.

She warmed up the fire and ran to the edge of the tiankeng to watch for a while. After an hour and a half, the rope stopped moving.

The tight rope was suddenly loosened, and Kong Qi exclaimed in a low voice. She ran to the edge of the tiankeng, but there was no sound at all.

Based on time, Lu Xiangbei may have reached the end.

"Bastard, didn't you just come up after the end?" The bundle of rope in Kong Qi's hand was wrapped around her arm, and she didn't dare to pull it up, worrying that Lu Xiangbei would not find it if it was stretched higher.

The loosening of the rope should be because Lu Xiangbei untied the rope from her body, so once she pulled up, the people below would not be able to find her rope.

"North! Come back quickly—" Kong Qi lay down on the edge of the pit and shouted into the deep pit.

Lu Xiangbei made an appointment with her that Ping An would blow the whistle to announce safety, but she didn't hear the whistle.

It was colder lying on the ground, she yelled for a while and jumped up and down, and yelled for a while on the ground.

After another half an hour, the rope was tightened again, and Kong Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

She ran to the building, grilled and boiled the food, then went back to the pit and waited.

Lu Xiangbei climbed up safely, Kong Qi waited for him to come up and quickly stuffed the hot water bottle into his arms.

Put the hot stone in his hand, push him into the building, and sit him by the fire.

Lu Xiangbei drank a few sips of hot water, his arms and hands were warm, and his body gradually warmed up.

Three hours back and forth, he was hanging in the cold wind, like a quick-frozen salted fish.

"Why didn't you blow the whistle? I'm so anxious." Seeing him slowing down, Kong Qi immediately settled the score with him.

"I blew it."

"Huh? No, I didn't hear it. I was lying on the edge of the pit and listening!"

"It really blew, maybe the distance is too far."

"Then you promised me that you would come back after the end, why did you untie the rope and leave?"

"There's something not far from me, and it's just a few steps down the road."

"Aren't you very cautious, so paralyzed/careless? Is it a matter of a few steps? One step away, it may be forever!"

"Okay, okay, I promise, I won't take any risks next time, don't stare at me, I'm so scared."

"Then what's down there? It's worth your risk." For the sake of Lu Xiangbei's coquettishness, she didn't bother with him.

"This." Lu Xiangbei took out something from his pocket.

"A twisted pen?" Kong Qi looked at what Lu Xiangbei took out, confused. It was just a snake-shaped pen.

"Have you ever seen a pen that looks like instant noodles, and it doesn't hurt your hand? Or is it a plastic case?"

"Then... I don't know. Maybe the person who bought it likes to collect strange stationery. It just so happens that this pen has a unique shape? I've seen people buy all kinds of stationery and just keep it at home. They never use it."

"collect?"

"Otherwise? What's the best opinion of the military adviser? Tell me quickly, my reasoning ability is zero."

"I haven't figured it out yet, so I've saved it for you." Lu Xiangbei stuffed the twisted pen into Kong Qi's hand.

"I... can do it too, the shape is really unique, hey, it must be for display."

"There are a bunch of unique things below, all deformed. If you want it, I'll get you a few more."

"No, no need, one is for collection and the other is for purchase."

"For things that don't work, ask Erlu to come back, let's go home."

"Good Le!"

Kong Qi whistled twice, and the two donkeys ran back with a fat hare in their mouths.

"Er Donkey, let's go home." Kong Qi picked up the hare thrown to the ground by Er Donkey and put it on the sledge.

Their food was hidden on the road and had to be retrieved on the return trip.

On the way, Lu Xiangbei always looked preoccupied. When Kong Qi asked him what he was thinking, he didn't say anything.

They returned to where they were attacked by the half-corpse, near the factory, and retrieved their tricycles and food gear.

Lu Xiangbei found that there were a large number of traces of cars passing by on the road, which was not difficult to identify, because the snow had been flattened, and the soft snow turned into a smooth mirror surface.

The good news is that the cars weren't heading further north, not into the woods.

The bad news was that they were moving south, and Kong Qi didn't know whether to be happy or sad because she didn't know who was driving.

If they are half-corpse people, they are relatives of zombies, so they will go if they go, but if they are ordinary humans, then they will be miserable.

The car marks had been left for a few days, and the two of them had only two legs, unable to catch up with the car, so they could only go home and stay.

She thought so, but fate always played tricks on her. There was a car behind in the convoy, which broke down on the side of the road.

The people in the car sat on the roof and took a look through the binoculars. There were two living people and a dog walking towards him pulling a sled.

"Hey - hey - hello!"

The people on the roof immediately stood up and waved their arms, trying to get their attention.

They've all been discovered, so there's no need to run now, and besides, there's a flat snowfield all around, so wherever they run, they are the most conspicuous targets in the snow.

"Hey - hello everyone! I'm not a bad person, look, I don't have a weapon!" The man on the roof unzipped his down jacket and turned around in a circle.

"You don't, we have." Kong Qi walked to the front of the car, raised the slingshot and aimed at him.
