C535 Broken (2/2)
Therefore, Lu Shan clenched his teeth and decided to ignore the ”ka ka” sound that came from above him. Instead, he started to slide down faster and faster while bringing Ning Ke along with him. Right now, he could only hope that the metal hoop would break a little more slowly … Slow down! Every meter he fell in safety now meant he was one step closer to his chance of survival …
Ninety meters, eighty meters … Seventy meters …
When he was less than seventy meters from the ground, Lu Shan once again tightened his hands into fists. When he tried to slow down the speed at which he and Ning Ke were sliding, he suddenly felt his hands loosen up as he felt not even a trace of friction between the rope he was gripping and his palm. Instead, his falling speed increased instead!
The rope was finally broken!
Lu Shan's heart sank. They were still nearly seventy meters above the ground, which was about the same height as twenty floors.
If an ordinary person were to fall from the third or fourth floor, it was highly likely that they would die. As for the twentieth floor … He probably wouldn't be much worse than a meat patty!
And what was even worse, was that Lu Shan and the rest were just in front of a cliff that was hanging upside down, which meant that the slope of the cliff wall was more than ninety degrees, and their bodies were completely suspended in the air, there was almost two meters between them and the cliff wall. Even if he wanted to press his body against the cliff and grab onto the cliff wall, or rely on the friction of the cliff wall to reduce the speed of the descent as much as possible, it was already impossible!
If he were to fall down like this, the consequences could be imagined!
However, Lu Shan was not scared witless by the desperate situation he was facing. The more he reached this point, the faster his brain was working to consider any possibility of a breakthrough!
His eyes quickly looked around, wanting to see if there was anything nearby that could hold the rope, so that he could swing the rope around them. Even if it was impossible to directly hang them, even if it could only withstand the impact of their fall!
However, the result left Lu Shan extremely disappointed … There was not even a single tree on the surrounding cliffs, not to mention any protruding rocks. The rope in his hand was like a lifeline; it was really just a straw, completely useless!
If he had enough time, Lu Shan could go to the System Merchant Shop and search for something that he could use, such as exchanging for a parachute to tie himself with.
However, the problem was … It would only take a few seconds for the two of them to fall into a puddle of mud, and now he had to open up the system store, look for the tools he could use, and then use the System Currency Card to convert the money from reality into the System Currency, and then exchange it for those things … How could he make it in time?
Could it be … Was Lu Shan really going to die here today?
