Chapter 736 Heavy Rain

Two sentences made Ah Chen shut his mouth completely and not continue to dwell on this topic.

At this time, the old man had already dressed and walked out of the house.

Ah Chen patted me and pointed his hand to the sky: "You probably won't be able to do this."

I followed his finger and looked up. Thick dark clouds were just over our heads.

"Is it going to rain?"

Ah Chen sniffed hard: "The air pressure is low and the humidity is high. It's raining a lot."

I looked back at the old man and said, "I'll lend you the door latch."

He stood there without saying a word. He was probably still angry with me because of the word coward.

Before leaving the house, the old man pulled a few bamboo hats off the wall and threw them to us without saying a word.

For safety reasons, I brought Xiaomei and Wang Dali with me.

They look like little transparent people with no sense of existence, but in fact, they are responsible for most of the responsibility for maintaining security.

Taozi followed reluctantly, but I couldn't resist her, so we had to set off together.

While on the road, I kept trying to contact Lao Sun, but the phone never got through.

In desperation, I had to put away my phone and whispered to Ah Chen: "Try using satellite communication."

When we set off from Nine Days Square, Liang Hai prepared a large package for us and immediately packed it with various emergency equipment.

This satellite phone is one of them.

But due to its large size and good signal on the road, this thing has been gathering dust in my bag.

Now look at it, it is indeed prepared.

However, the satellite phone also lost its function at this time. No matter how I called, there was no sound.

My heart suddenly jumped up: "Is something going to happen to Lao Sun?"

Ah Chen looked disdainful: "What could happen? He called me last night and asked me where I put the food."

"If something happened, I might have taken food with me and ran away first!"

Forget it, let's go first.

The weather became increasingly gloomy, and the road up the mountain began to become difficult to walk. The humid air filled the entire mountain with a sense of humidity.

I rubbed the mist on my neck and felt sticky.

"How long do we have to go?"

The old man walked at the front and didn't stop at all. He just said coldly: "It's at the col ahead."

As the saying goes, Wangshan is like running to death.

Before he spoke, we walked for a full hour.

When we were about to reach the top of the mountain, there was a sudden strong wind around us, and thick cumulonimbus clouds rushed past our eyes like a movie in fast forward.

Heavy raindrops fell from the sky. I pressed my bamboo hat with one hand and took out the climbing rope from my backpack.

"One by one, girls go in the middle."

The orange chains connected us all, which really kept everyone safe.

But everything has two sides.

The so-called mountain col is a low-lying area sandwiched between two mountains.

In other words, we had to go down a long way down the mountain.

It is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down. This is not nonsense.

Once someone slips, a domino effect will immediately occur. However, if the rope is loosened and everyone goes their own way, the risk of getting lost will be greatly increased.

After much thought, I decided to use the original plan.

However, I used the door latch on my hand as a stabilizer and pushed it into the ground every time I took a step.

There was lightning and thunder overhead, and the wind and rain became more and more rampant.

Suddenly, the climbing rope on my body was pulled back suddenly. I quickly stopped and turned around and shouted.

"Who fell?"

"I."

Ah Chen was sitting on the dirt floor, covering his calf with one hand: "It's a beast trap."

I turned back and saw that Achen's calf had been pinched through, and blood was oozing out from four blood holes as thick as a little finger.

"Xiao Mei!"

Xiaomei untied the shackles around her waist with one hand and ran over with long strides.

"I need a place to shelter from the rain, otherwise I will definitely get infected."
