Chapter 48.3 (2/2)
Before going on the roller coaster, Tang Mianmian couldn’t help but ask Xiao Tangqiu. “If every draw is determined by luck, wouldn’t it be possible for lucky people not to participate in every event from start to end?”
Xiao Tangqiu said, “I’m afraid so.”
Tang Mianmian cursed, “Fuck! Do people with bad luck deserve to die?! That’s not fair. Wuwuwuwuwu.“
Xiao Tangqiu sighed, “This is the strength of the king of luck.”
Tang Mianmian cried, “Wuwuwuwu, I’m so jealous!”
Could Xiao Tangqiu not feel jealous? Of course he was jealous!
But was jealousy useful? Of course not!
Since he couldn’t stand up and resist, he could only lie down and accept it.
He fastened his seat belt as tightly as he could, although the seatbelt on the roller coaster looked really worrying. He told Tang Mianmian to fasten his seatbelt as well.
When everyone got on the roller coaster, the roller coaster began to slowly move.
Squeak, squeak…
This sort of old, rickety roller coaster made horrible, scary sounds. He felt his jaw ache from the fear. Not only that, there was some harsh noise due to the age of the facilities.
Squeak, squeak…
Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian sat side by side in the middle of the roller coaster. The sporty student and the girl sat behind them, while the other two players sat in the first row.
The two players from the other team were obviously looking for excitement. They weren’t scared at all by the shabby roller coaster and its towering height. On the contrary, they had a face full of eagerness and even let go of the rails. They looked like they wanted to embrace the sky with open arms. The girl sitting behind Xiao Tangqiu was already trembling all over.
However, Tang Mianmian shook even more than she did. Even his teeth were shaking. “Qiu… Qiuqiu…”
As the roller coaster went higher and higher, Xiao Tangqiu started to turn pale as well but he still tried to calm down. “What’s the matter?”
Tang Mianmian silently grabbed the strap across his body. “Do you think this thing looks like a seat belt?”
Xiao Tangqiu, “……”
Squeak, squeak…
The roller coaster got higher and higher, and would soon reach the first peak. The slope wasn’t very steep, not even a hundred meters but the people below had become ant-sized.
Xiao Tangqiu went crazy at once. “Why didn’t you wear your seatbelt?”
Tang Mianmian was going mad too. “I clearly fixed my seatbelt earlier! But it looks broken!”
Xiao Tangqiu tried to keep calm. “Don’t worry, there’s also a safety bar! We should be okay with this safety bar…”
He had just finished speaking when Tang Mianmian subconsciously reached out to pull the safety bar in front of his chest. As a result, the safety bar automatically bounced up!
The whoosh of the wind sounded in their ears as they looked at the scene in front of them in silence.
Xiao Tangqiu, “……”
Tang Mianmian, “……”
No seatbelt! No safety bar!
Tang Mianmian looked like he was about to faint from the fear. “I’m going to die…”
Xiao Tangqiu tried his best to calm himself and at the same time calm Tang Mianmian down. “Calm down! Calm down! The roller coaster hasn’t reached the first slope yet! Have you seen the guardrails on both sides of the roller coaster track? We can slowly grab the guardrail and go down to the tracks first, and then slowly climb down from the tracks… “
There were guardrails on both sides of the roller coaster track, and there was a passage for one person to walk along the guardrail. It must be a path for maintenance workers to carry out regular maintenance. Although they didn’t have any safety measures, it shouldn’t be a problem… as long as they were careful…
Although Tang Mianmian was now paralyzed with fear, Xiao Tangqiu believed that he would definitely be able to break out in strength at the critical moment.
Tang Mianmian opened his mouth and seemed to say something.
The wind was so strong that Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t hear him clearly. “…What?”
Tang Mianmian gave a smile of despair. “Did you hear that?”
Xiao Tangqiu thought Tang Mianmian was hallucinating. “What did you hear? The call of death?”
Tang Mianmian’s eyes were blank as his mouth twitched slightly. “The sound of wood breaking…”
Xiao Tangqiu’s expression suddenly changed because he seemed to hear it too!
He immediately turned around to look, his eyes widened in shock.
It was the sound of wood breaking!
The wooden track behind them started to fall apart!
Plank by plank by plank.
In the blink of an eye, the base of the wooden track broke bit by bit, spreading to the bottom of the roller coaster.
