Chapter 494: ticulous Calculations
Xiao Ge and his partners threw down seven or eight mattresses, along with all the sheets, quilts, and pillows they had scavenged from the residences. In a matter of monts, they filled the bottom with a thick layer of padding.
At the first glance, they looked rough and relentless, like desperadoes, yet they valued their lives so much when it ca to the crunch.
Lu Yuwen sneered at their cowardice.
Yang Zi untied the rope from Lu Yuwen’s wrists, which were deeply bruised, having been bound for too long.
The rope was long and stretchy. Xiao Ge tied one end to a nearby tree and wrapped the other end around his waist before gradually descending the rope.
Once at the bottom, Yang Zi pulled the rope back, tied it around his waist like Xiao Ge had done, and slowly descended.
Zhang Ke was the last to go down.
Seeing all three n had descended, Lu Yuwen cracked a cold smile. He leaned on his arms, attempting to get up.
His knees had been severely damaged by Zhang Ke, leaving him unable to exert any force. Thus, he could only crawl forward by rolling onto his side.
Nevertheless, his wrists, ankles, thighs, and knees were in terrible pain. As he cursed under his breath and painstakingly crawled forward, a figure suddenly appeared. It was Su Man, who was briskly running towards him!
Lu Yuwen was startled and blurted out, “Why are you here? Weren’t you adjusting the direction of the arrows?!”
As Su Man supported him up, she replied, “I did!”
“You did? That was fast!” Lu Yuwen couldn’t believe it. She had to sprint half a kiloter, adjust almost a hundred small arrows, and then run another half kiloter to get back to him. “What speed is she running? What’s her endurance?” he wondered.
She explained, “I didn’t lie to you! If I adjust a few of the small arrows, the nearby ones will automatically adjust their direction too! After adjusting more than 50, all the arrows start changing their direction, so I didn’t need to adjust each one manually!”
Before she finished speaking, they felt sothing trembling!
They turned their heads to see the massive arrow suspended between the buildings, swaying and changing direction just like the small ones!
While they were still surprised, the ground beneath them trembled violently, like an earthquake! They both fell to the ground!
“What’s going on?!!” Xiao Ge’s furious voice echoed from the pit below.
“Damn! Why is there an earthquake all of a sudden?!” Yang Zi roared from below, “Hurry up! Zhang Ke, you son of a turtle! Give us the rope!”
The rope was with Zhang Ke?
Realizing this, Lu Yuwen grabbed Su Man’s arm and said, “Help up! Zhang Ke is climbing up!”
Zhang Ke was the last one down, so it’s highly likely he hadn’t reached the bottom when Su Man had changed the direction of the arrows!
Su Man was faster than Lu Yuwen had anticipated, and now the whole area was moving quickly in the direction the large arrow pointed to! The building at the other end of the pit was quickly closing in!
anwhile, the yelling of Xiao Ge and Yang Zi abruptly stopped!
The pit they were in was being filled up!
“Quickly, let’s move to the green belt over there!” Lu Yuwen shouted, “Otherwise, when the section of earth stops, we’ll be thrown out by inertia!”
No one could predict how great the force of inertia would be!
It’s like standing on a speeding train that suddenly stops. How far would a person be thrown?
Su Man tried to support Lu Yuwen to the green belt, but he was too slow.
He was so anxious that he pushed Su Man away, “Forget about ! You go!”
Just as the pieces of land were about to collide, Su Man was frantic! In a mont of desperation, she suddenly picked up Lu Yuwen and charged forward!
Lu Yuwen: “!!!”
Despite all his cunning, he never thought there would be a day when a woman would carry him and run!
