Chapter 50.1 (1/2)

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian fell into despair at the same time.

Although they already knew that human nature was simply unreliable and teammates would sell you out at any moment after playing so many horror games, they didn’t want to experience and be reminded of this lesson under such circumstances!

“You fucking bastard! Get back here now!” Tang Mianmian shouted frantically at the sporty student as he ran away. Although he knew that this was futile, Tang Mianmian was still unwilling to give up that last glimmer of hope. If no one came to give them a hand, they could only be trapped here!

However, no matter how Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian shouted, the sporty student, who ran away at full speed, didn’t stop. He used his good physical strength and sporty genes to the extreme. In a short time, his figure disappeared completely from their sight.

The two were left to their despair. Now there were only three survivors left and the sporty student got cold feet and escaped without them. Where else could they find another person to save them?

They looked at each other and Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “I’m sorry, I brought you trouble. If you hadn’t come to save me, you might have escaped by now…”

“What bullshit are you talking about?!” Tang Mianmian was very angry. “If you hadn’t held onto me on the roller coaster just now, I would have been thrown out and fallen to my death! Isn’t it only right that I save you?”

Xiao Tangqiu paused. “In fact, I wasn’t thinking so much at the time…”

“I didn’t think much about it earlier too. The only thought I had is that I must rescue you and that we must leave together. No one should be left behind!” Tang Mianmian snorted, huffing and puffing in anger. But he was soon discouraged. “I’m to blame for not thinking just now. I should have known that he might leave the two of us and run by himself….”

“Even if you had thought about it, it’s no use. Are you going to make that guy come down to save me, and you stay on top to pull us up? No one but you would come down and save me,” Xiao Tangqiu sighed.

On second thought, Tang Mianmian felt that what he said was true. His willingness to save Xiao Tangqiu didn’t apply to others. What’s more, they were just strangers who met by chance and have known each other for less than a few hours.

“Well, it’s no use continuing to grapple with this problem. The tree is about to collapse. Let’s find a way to escape quickly!” Xiao Tangqiu had just finished speaking when the tree trunk they were standing on shook even more violently. Right then, sand and stones were flying everywhere and the branches and leaves were shaking.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck! Don’t you dare use that unlucky mouth of yours again at this critical moment! ” Tang Mianmian immediately screamed out in fright.

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly discovered something. “I’m sorry… Wait a minute! Look! The tree has been uprooted!”

Tang Mianmian was shocked, “Wuwuwu, will you stop pointing out the obvious at this point!”

The looseness of the surrounding soil made the long roots fall downwards. They could grab the roots as long as they stretched out their arms!

It was really true that when one door closes, another opens!

“Hurry up! Before this tree is completely uprooted, we must grab these roots and climb up!” Xiao Tangqiu said decisively, “Tang Mianmian, you climb up first! I’ll help you from down here! After you climb up, pull me up!”

His decision was actually quite risky. After all, they didn’t know how long this tree could hold out. Maybe it would be completely uprooted and fall off the cliff as soon as Tang Mianmian climbed up. At this time, whoever climbed up first would undoubtedly have a better chance at surviving.

At this point, others might even argue with each other but neither of them hesitated. The moment Xiao Tangqiu made his decision known, Tang Mianmian reached for the roots of the tree.

Right now, the tree was already at the end of its tether. Although it had not yet been completely uprooted, it was only a matter of time. Most of its roots had been completely exposed and only a small part were still firmly embedded.

When Tang Mianmian grabbed the roots, the soil and sand crumbled even faster and blew in the wind. The tree shook even more violently. Xiao Tangqiu didn’t hesitate, holding up Tang Mianmian and giving him a hard push.

As a small time actor, Tang Mianmian didn’t have much time and money to work out in the gym but he was able to build up his physical strength and muscle so he managed to quickly climb up easily.

Naturally, Tang Mianmian wouldn’t run away like the sporty student. As soon as he climbed up, he turned around, lay on the edge of the cliff and stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Tangqiu.

Xiao Tangqiu held out his hand and caught Tang Mianmian’s without hesitation. At the same time, the trunk that he was standing on finally broke off and fell into the abyss below. Suddenly losing the thing supporting his weight undoubtedly made it much more difficult for him.

Tang Mianmian also struggled. However, he still grabbed Xiao Tangqiu’s hand and desperately pulled him up.

After the tree trunk broke, the tree started to uproot faster and faster and the land under Tang Mianmian’s feet began to shake and loosen. The edge was about to crack and fall off at any moment but he still firmly grasped Xiao Tangqiu’s hand.

Xiao Tangqiu severely gritted his teeth, grabbed Tang Mianmian’s hand and stepped on a branch, climbing up the cliff!
