Chapter 548: Climbing (Part 2)
"ah!!!"
The palpitating feeling of soaring in the air came again, and Ellie screamed unexpectedly, clutching her clothes with both hands, and some tears of excitement even flowed from the corners of her eyes.
The body leaped to the right. Brian stared at the protruding steel bar over there. The moment his body arrived, he grabbed the protruding rock block on the wall with one hand and the protruding piece with the other hand.
The steel bars were used to try to stop the body.
"Wow!"
But before his body could completely stabilize, the protruding rock he was holding on to suddenly loosened again, and the whole thing fell off.
One hand suddenly lost support. Although Brian was shocked, he had thought about encountering this situation before he jumped over. His palm went down and grabbed another rock block, and soon he again
Stabilized his body.
"Huh~"
Breathing a sigh of relief, Brian glanced towards the opposite side and saw Sarah's concerned eyes. He made a sign of success, then looked at the rope that had been straightened and said, "You guys will jump over here one after another.
I'll catch you."
"Then you should be careful, we are not light-hearted."
Tess was still in the mood to joke at this moment, but she grabbed the strongest spot nearby so that she could easily deal with it if something really happened.
Saying that, Sarah was already ready, her body rose and fell slightly to gather strength, and then she jumped in the same direction as Brian.
Watching Sarah's body move in the air, Brian tightened the steel bar in his hand, turned his body outwards and quickly reached out with his arms, accurately grabbing the opponent's slender wrist to stop the opponent's downward trend.
Sarah also quickly found a place to stay in a tacit understanding, found several climbing points, and quickly stabilized her body.
But in this case, Brian had to move inside and become closer to Sarah's cross section.
Just relying on the strength of Sarah's hand, if Tess really jumped over, I'm afraid she might not be able to catch it, but if the positions of the two were reversed, the length of the rope between Sarah and Tess would not be enough.
A forced jump would definitely drag Joel behind.
"Otherwise, it's me."
Seeing the situation at this time, Sarah squeezed her fists and said: "Tess is not very heavy, I should be able to do it."
Faced with the current situation, Brian thought for a while and said: "No, you are not just holding her alone. She also has a backpack and a gun. You still can't take risks. You can climb a little higher."
Hearing this, Sarah couldn't help but ask more questions, and climbed directly up for a certain distance, but there was only a climbing point above, and her whole body hung up, with her feet having nowhere to place.
But soon Brian climbed to where she was just now and took the initiative to put his shoulders at her feet.
"Come on, step on my shoulders."
After Sarah's body was completely stabilized, Brian waved to Tess, who was in a daze, and said: "What are you looking at? If you don't come here quickly, I won't be able to hold on for long!"
"Then you can take it!"
In this situation, Tess didn't panic at all. She also undulated her body slightly to gather strength, and quickly jumped over.
At this moment, there was someone carrying someone on his back, and there was someone on top of his head to lend support. Brian did not dare to neglect, and reached out his arm first to grab Tess's arm, and pulled the person over.
Four people were suddenly squeezed into this small space. Ellie twisted her body uncomfortably and said, "Oh my god, this is so crazy. If something goes wrong, we all have to go down and feed the infected."
Ignoring Ally's complaints, Brian quickly asked Sarah to climb down and wait on the side, letting Tess step on her shoulders.
"Oh my God, how much do you weigh?"
Unlike Sarah who weighed less than 100 kilograms, as soon as Tess stepped on her shoulders, Brian felt an invisible pressure and shouted: "Why is it so heavy?"
"You guys are so rude. Haven't you ever heard that you can't just compromise a lady's weight?" Tess didn't feel any embarrassment about this at all and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because I've eaten a little too much recently."
"Okay, stand still."
Without any further chatting with Tess, Brian greeted Joel on the other side: "Jump over here!"
Joel didn't have any unnecessary nonsense and jumped over directly.
The weight of men is indeed much heavier than that of women, and it took a lot of effort for Brian to get Joel to stand firm.
The four people had already jumped over, and Sarah quickly moved to the side, allowing Tess to climb down and stand still.
Brian then climbed over from behind the two of them and walked to the front of the team again. After climbing a certain distance, he finally reached the cracked load-bearing pillar.
They kicked the pillar hard. Although the load-bearing pillar was full of cracks and tilted to make the cracks bigger, and it looked like it might collapse at any time, it was no problem to support them to climb to the top of the road.
His foot stepped on the crack of the load-bearing column. Brian quickly planned the climbing route. He then took off a long nail hanging on the side of the backpack, stuck it in the crack of the column above his right foot, and then picked up the hammer and used force.
Hit it a few times.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The hammer hit the long nail, driving half of the long nail directly in, leaving only half of the nail exposed.
Then he also drilled a long nail on his left hand side and left foot to support his body while stepping up a certain distance.
After fixing the basic nails, Brian stepped on the long supporting nails and hammered them upward one by one, nailing out a very simple staircase.
Sarah and others below also grabbed the long nails hammered above and climbed up bit by bit.
A few minutes later, after the last spike was hammered, Brian finally reached the top of the load-bearing column, next to the highway guardrail.
Putting his fingers on the edge, he stepped on the long spikes below, turned his whole body over the guardrail, and sat down directly on the concrete pavement. He touched the big beads of sweat on his forehead, gasped for air, and at the same time pushed his body
He also untied it and put down Ellie from the back.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Freed from the restraints, Ellie also crawled a few steps to the side. She wanted to stand up but found that her legs were a little weak. She grabbed the guardrail next to her and stood up.
Got up.
Looking at the infected people under the road, she couldn't help but complain: "I swear I will never let you carry me away again. I'm going to vomit now."
"You're not happy anymore."
Hearing this, Brian rolled his eyes speechlessly and simply lay down on the ground to recover his strength.
After a while, Sarah and others also rolled over from the guardrail one after another.
This whole process took a full hour, and several of them were really exhausted. They took out their water bottles and drank a few sips, standing there not wanting to say anything more.
Ellie, who had not exhausted much energy, started to drive a little restlessly, trotting towards the cars and buses parked on the road, looking around with interest.
"So, what's next?"
After regaining some strength, Joel took out the map and took a look, only to find that the roads marked on it had long been destroyed. Then he turned his attention to Brian and asked: "We are leaving Atlanta soon, it shouldn't be long.
Alright?"
"Not much left. We can get there in about fifty kilometers."
Sitting up from the ground, Brian mentally estimated the distance and said, "It will take about ten hours to get there on foot."
"Ah... I'm really exhausted."
When she heard that it would take more than ten hours of hiking, Tess simply lay down and suggested: "How about we find a place to rest first and then leave tomorrow."
"No, I need to get to Peachtree City as soon as possible. If we leave now, we can get there in the evening."
Hearing this, Brian decisively cut off Tess's thoughts and said: "When you get to the place, you can sleep as long as you want and no one will care about you."
"Hey, guys."
