Chapter two hundred and eighty first ask for help

Lu Qi's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing waves to surge in Laura's heart.

"Hemihu is not dead" - this assumption is too bold and unreasonable.

In particular, any normal person who has received many years of modern education would not believe that there are really people who can survive for thousands of years, and also possess powerful spells and can control storms.

However, after seeing all the strange things on the island, Laura always felt that this might be the most reasonable answer.

After all, things that cannot be explained by common sense require a completely different perspective to examine the truth hidden behind them.

Although she agreed with Lu Qi’s words, Laura still couldn’t believe it until she saw conclusive evidence.

Shaking her head to get rid of the random thoughts in her mind, Laura looked at Lu Qi with a solemn expression:

"Regardless of whether Himihu still exists, what we can do now is to send a distress signal, get in touch with the outside world, and rescue Samantha. As for other things, we will think about it later..."

Lu Qi didn't intend to convince Laura at once. Such a hint was enough...

"You're right, let's focus on the things in front of us first..."

The two people with their own thoughts came to the edge of the roof of the building and looked at the wireless tower a few meters away with only a rope in between. Without saying a word, Lu Qi took off the mountaineering bag on his back and put it on the ground.

While moving his hands and feet to get ready for climbing, Lu Qi did not forget to tell Laura behind him:

"Give me the transmitter and wait for me here..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Laura interrupted him:

"Let me do it!"

Hearing this, Lu Qi made a move and turned back to look at Laura.

I saw Laura with a ponytail, looking serious and serious, staring at him closely, and said:

"This tower was built during World War II, seventy or eighty years ago. It has been in disrepair and has been exposed to weird weather all year round. The ladder above will definitely be corroded to a certain extent. It is very likely that if you step on it lightly,

, it will break and fall off.”

"I'm smaller and lighter than you, so it's safer to go up..."

After that, when Lu Qi opened his mouth and was about to refute, Laura reached out to stop him:

"Besides, I have experience in free climbing before, so I am prepared to deal with this kind of situation."

Laura's reasons are well founded.

What's more, Laura mentioned this, so Lu Qi had no reason to stop her, but nodded:

"Well, since you are sure, then you can do it..."

After deciding on the candidate for the climb, the two climbed to the platform of the tower along the rope.

Putting down her bow and arrows and other unnecessary items, and only carrying a walkie-talkie, a transmitter, a pistol, and an ice pick, Laura, who was traveling lightly, began to climb up the tower ladder under Lu Qi's concerned gaze...

.

...

The sound of howling wind hit my ears.

The snow-covered mountain scenery in the distance looks particularly beautiful under the sunlight, making people unable to take their eyes away.

However, Laura at this time had no time to appreciate such beautiful scenery.

All she could do was concentrate on it, leaning against the ladder as much as possible to ensure that every step she took to climb up was a solid one.

"Focus... don't get distracted..."

"Remember the climbing techniques Ross taught you..."

"Laura, you can do it..."

While cheering for herself in her heart, Laura stepped on the ladder bars step by step and climbed up.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Laura, who had just climbed to the middle of the ladder, stepped on it and suddenly heard a "clang" sound.

Immediately afterwards, a section of the ladder at his feet disconnected without warning and fell down suddenly!

In the critical moment, Laura reacted quickly and lifted her feet in time without focusing her body weight on her lower body.

Otherwise, she might also follow the ladder and fall down together...

At the same time, Lu Qi, who was standing on the platform below and staring closely at Laura, was also frightened by this sudden change and his heart almost skipped a beat.

Especially when the ladder fell in his direction, he quickly stepped back and clung to the main body of the tower to avoid being hit by the falling ladder.

Even so, he did not shout loudly or ask about Laura's situation. Because he was afraid that if he spoke out, Laura would be distracted above him.

However, Laura remembered that there was a companion like Lu Qi below, and the ladder might hit him, so she couldn’t help shouting:

"Lu Qi! Are you okay?!"

The distance between each other is a bit far, and simple communication can only be carried out by shouting at the top of one's voice.

"I'm fine! Just keep climbing!"

After confirming that her teammates were not killed by the ladder she stepped on, Laura felt a little relieved and continued to climb up.

The top part of the entire wireless tower is divided into three parts from bottom to top.

The first two parts are climbed using iron ladders.

But at the top, the climbing tool is no longer a normal ladder, but a straight iron column on one side, with iron rods as horizontal bars, forming an unprotected ladder.

Simple ladder.

The "whirring" of the wind in my ears became more violent, and the temperature also climbed with the altitude, approaching subzero.

But these external factors did not shake Laura's determination at all.

All she could see was the maintenance platform at the top of the tower.

Only by getting there and getting in touch with the outside world can she and the rest of the Endurance crew leave this island full of fanatics and killers!

Thinking of this, Laura stretched out her hand to hold the crossbar and began to climb up slowly...

...

at the same time...

When Laura arrived at the second part of the tower, Lu Qi, who was standing on the platform, could no longer see Laura and had no idea what she was like.

All he could do was wait anxiously for news about Laura.

However, Laura did not disappoint him and Ross.

About ten minutes later, Laura’s voice suddenly came from the intercom on her waist:

"Lu Qi, are you there?"

This "Are you there?" made Lu Qi let go of the big stone he had been holding in his heart.

Putting the walkie-talkie to his mouth and trying to make his voice sound calmer, Lu Qi immediately responded:

"Here, you succeeded, right?"

"Yes, I have contacted the rescue team's aircraft. We have to create a signal flame to mark our specific location for the rescue team's aircraft."

"Okay, you come down first and we'll figure out a way..."

At this point, Lu Qi suddenly remembered that the ladder had been broken.

"By the way! The ladder is broken. How are you going to get down?"

"It doesn't matter, I can find another way down, I hope you won't be scared..."

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"look up!"

Hearing this, Lu Qi suddenly raised his head.

I saw Laura holding an ice ax, and a rope across the tower quickly slid past his eyes!

Looking at Laura sliding towards a certain hill below, Lu Qi was stunned for a moment before muttering to himself:
Chapter completed!
