Chapter 147 - Fall into Hell (2)
In the blink of an eye, the steel bar broke. The suspension bridge shook, and the three people on it went pale with fright.
The suspension bridge is designed to be the heaviest because it does not have piers to support it. The design of the suspension bridge is more focused on the sense of balance because of the constant strong wind between the cracks. At this moment, a steel cable was broken, and the suspension bridge's balance was immediately broken. The entire suspension bridge began to sway vigorously. However, the strong swinging caused the second and even more suspension cables to break off one after another due to the domino effect.
If they lost their footing here, even without Parkland's sniping, the chances of the three of them surviving wouldn't be more than 10%.
There was no time to hesitate, and he used all his strength to push himself off the bridge. His whole body bounced like a rubber ball, and he jumped towards the second rope that was already beginning to break. As it approached the cable, the iron wire cable, which was as fine as a child's arm, was finally broken.
Zero loudly shouted, the strengthening ability of the second rank strength was brought to its limit. He stretched out his hands and took hold of both ends of the broken rope, using this force to pull on the rope and prevent the suspension bridge from deteriorating any further.
However, this did not last long. After all, zero only had the strength of a rank 2 Magus. The moment he gripped both sides of the broken cables, his strength had already reached its limit.
”Hurry up and leave.” Zero gritted his teeth and said to the two women on the bridge.
Tears welled up in Monnie's eyes. She knew why Zero was doing this. In all the rumors she had heard about outsiders, they were almost always associated with greed and selfishness. But now, as an outsider, Zero had sacrificed himself to protect them.
Seeing that the two women were still on the bridge, Zero roared, ”Run! What are you all still standing there blankly for! ”
”No!” Monnie screamed, but in the next moment she was carried by Atasha. She followed Zero's figure quickly into the distance. It was Atasha who pushed her speed to the limit.
By the time Lange had reloaded and adjusted his trajectory, the two of them had already left the suspension bridge and were on the safety of the ground on the other side of the fissure. He didn't mind since his target was zero. So what if he let go of the two girls first?
Thus, when the sniper rifle was aimed, the crosshairs locked onto the head of zero. At the same time this movement was completed, Zero suddenly turned its head and looked at Lan Qi from the scope.
Goodbye.
Lan Qi thought to himself as he forcefully pressed down on the board.
Using his own body to connect the broken steel wire, he had become a live target. He had nowhere to run, unless he jumped into the crevice, but that was no different from dying under a Lance.
However, when Lan Qi pressed the trigger, a playful smile appeared on his face. He suddenly let go of the rope and let himself fall under the bridge. Naturally, the sniper rifle bullet did not hit him, but instead broke the other rope beside where Zero had been.
Without the use of his body as a link and the breaking of another cable, the bridge could no longer hold. Amidst the earth-shattering cracking sounds, the suspension bridge that was shaking violently collapsed. The cables on both sides of the bridge constantly split, causing the bridge's surface to smash into the mountain walls that were cracking, causing a violent tremor.
The entire Death God Ridge trembled.
