E-book 4: Chapter 51: There may be No Retreat

With a view to try to get to the exit the place that tiny sliver of sunshine was shining by means of, Xiao Hua’s group had divided into two groups and climbed up the cliff from two totally different instructions. All the members in one of many groups had died, and Xiao Hua had additionally encountered the identical scenario as themone further particular person in some way appeared within the staff with out anybody noticing.

They’d been trapped on the cliff for greater than per week. They continued climbing up throughout these first three days, however they by no means managed to succeed in the highest. Based mostly on how lengthy they’d been climbing, the peak of this cliff undoubtedly exceeded the peak of a standard cliff. They’d additionally spent two days attempting to climb again to the bottom, however so long as they tried that, some individuals of their staff would find yourself dying. It appeared as if this cliff was forcing them to climb to the highest, and ultimately, they needed to cease.

“May it’s some form of vertical ghost hitting a wall?” I requested him.

He shook his head after which tilted it again to lookup earlier than saying to me, “If that had been the case, wed maintain passing by the identical rocks on this cliff. However we may clearly see the modifications within the rock strata at totally different heights as we continued climbing. We werent going round in circles, so its apparent that this cliff is simply that prime.”

“So if this cliff is absolutely excessive, have we nonetheless not reached the highest but?”

Xiao Hua, who was nonetheless wanting on the pitch-black space above his head, nodded at me.

“But when its so excessive, we shouldnt be capable to see any daylight from under,” I argued.

“This can solely work if it is actually daylight up there,” Xiao Hua mentioned. “However I believe the sunshine above us isnt daylight.”

Xiao Hua believed that there was a gap on the prime as a result of the sky burial corpses had fallen down, however this gentle could not essentially be daylight.

For individuals at midnight, this gentle was like a lethal entice.

“What’s the issue?”

Xiao Hua checked out me and shook his head earlier than saying, “I do not know; I simply suppose theres one thing fallacious.”

He handed me a replica of their staff handbook. I needed to maintain asking questions, however he all of a sudden mentioned to me once more, “Thanks for coming to avoid wasting me.”

After that, I noticed him go to sleep in virtually a second.

His face was buried in his lengthy hair and it was solely presently that I noticed a wave of exhaustion appear to unfold out from his complete physique.

I sighed.

At this second, a flashlight all of a sudden flashed from under. I knew straight away that Fatty was calling me down. I didnt know if one thing sudden had occurred whereas he was analyzing the physique, however the flashlight appeared frantic so he was clearly hoping that I may hurry down and assist him.

However Xiao Hua couldnt sleep right here alone, so I used my flashlight to sign the individuals down under to come back up. Not lengthy after, a brief man got here up. He and I checked out one another. I didnt know why, however I all of a sudden felt very uneasy, so I advised him to go down once more and signaled for Poker-Face to come back up.

Poker-Face checked out me after which checked out Xiao Hua. He signaled me to go down and conveyed that he would regulate Xiao Hua.
