Chapter 365: Bad luck
Chapter 365 There is a lot of danger and a lot of bad luck
Xia Ling felt a little scared.
Li Lei pointed at the amulet around her neck: "Do you still remember this amulet? With its protection, you will be fine." His voice was very gentle, "Xiao Ling, you will land safely."
"how about you?"
“I am with you.”
The sky is getting gloomier and gloomier, the wind is blowing violently, and raindrops as big as beans begin to fall, becoming more and more dense. Xia Ling saw that the peach blossoms everywhere had been blown to pieces, and some of the thin branches that could not bear the strength had begun to break and fall down one after another.
Li Lei glanced at the sky: "Xiao Ling, get ready, I'm going to cut the parachute rope."
He took out an umbrella knife from his carry-on bag. The sharp blade was pressed against the rope of her paraglider.
She started to get nervous: "Li Lei..."
"Don't be afraid, you will be fine." He looked at her tenderly with his deep eyes, holding the handle of the knife tightly with his right hand, calmly and firmly, "I love you."
With a deep sound, the parachute rope snapped.
Xia Ling felt her body suddenly lose weight and fall downwards. She put her finger on the button of the parachute, followed his instructions and counted to three, then pressed it hard, and the brush of the parachute opened suddenly. The white umbrella coat floated in the air, and the weightless body suddenly paused and slowly fell downwards.
The strong wind blew her parasol around, and the heavy rain hit the umbrella cover, causing its wings to break several times. It was extremely dangerous.
For the first time, she felt that human beings are so insignificant in the face of the power of nature. At this moment, she was like a small boat in the storm. She could not help herself and could be capsized by the wind and waves at any time. Xia Ling clutched the umbrella with her right hand, her joints stiff and white, and she kept praying in her heart: Don't let anything happen, don't let anything happen...
She was so confused that even she herself didn’t know how she landed.
The moment she hit the ground, she felt a sharp pain in her legs. However, she ignored it and only raised her head to look at the cliff in mid-air.
Li Lei…
She saw that he was no longer on the peach blossom tree, and there was a white umbrella in the air.
The umbrella was shrouded in cumulonimbus clouds and tossed around by the strong wind. Dull thunder and lightning exploded around him, some of which almost missed him.
Xia Ling's heart rose to her throat: "Li Lei!"
He was just a moment behind her, and the weather was so bad!
“Li Lei!” came the panicked shouts from the coach and others on the walkie-talkie next to him.
The wind and rain are strong, and there is lightning and thunder.
Everyone knew how difficult it was to control an umbrella in such weather. They looked at the white parachute in mid-air with trepidation. They saw it fluttering and being blown up and down by the storm. Every time, they saw it fiercely. Lei must be controlled steadily, as wind and rain will always come and sweep him away from his intended trajectory.
Xia Ling raised her head, her whole body cold, and watched helplessly as he drifted towards another mountain peak, getting further and further away from her.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down and exploded next to him - the white parasol collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The violent wind and rain carried his body towards a mountain col, falling very quickly. toward the ground.
“Li Lei!” she screamed heartbreakingly.
On the intercom, the coach and others shouted at the top of their lungs: "Li Lei! Where is Li Lei?! How come he disappeared after turning around the mountain?!" After a pause for a few seconds, he started to yell at Xia Ling again: "Xiao Ling?! Say something! Have you seen Li Lei? How are you? If you hear it, please reply!
Xia Ling reached for the walkie-talkie, but couldn't get it. When it landed, it fell a few steps away from her, and her legs were in excruciating pain whenever she moved, and she couldn't exert any strength - they had already broken bones.
She wanted to tell the coach and them that Li Lei was swept to another mountain peak by the storm and had fallen - they were probably blocked from sight by the mountain, but she could see clearly from this angle. She wanted to tell them to find a way to save Li Lei quickly, but an unprecedented fear gripped her tightly. It was a feeling more terrifying than her own death.
Be sure to get a walkie-talkie. Xia Ling gritted her teeth, lay down, and crawled on the muddy ground.
It rained heavily, and there were puddles all over the ground. Sewage and mud splashed onto her face and lips, giving her a very bitter and fishy taste. She waved her uninjured arm desperately and moved in the direction of the walkie-talkie with all her strength. The uneven ground was covered with gravel and branches, leaving **** cuts on her body.
But she couldn't care about that much anymore.
But, so what if she tries her best? How can one hand support the entire body? I don't know how much time passed, but Xia Ling was still so far away from the walkie-talkie. When she looked back, she almost didn't move from the same spot.
With despair in her heart, her hand relaxed unconsciously, and her body slipped inadvertently, sliding further away from the walkie-talkie.
“Xiao Ling! Xiao Ling, say something!”
“Li Lei! Li Lei, please answer if you hear me!”
The intercom came with continuous shouting from the coach and Lin Yunan.
Xia Ling yelled at the intercom at the top of her lungs: "Li Lei is behind the south mountain col!"
However, the voices on the intercom were discussing: "What should I do? Neither of them can be contacted."
Xia Ling shouted a few more times with all her strength. However, the strong wind and rain swallowed up all her voices, and none of them could be heard. She stared blankly at the intercom, her heart feeling cold.
On the intercom, someone said: "Dead or alive, we have to find someone! Xiao Ling fell from that peach blossom tree. We can all see it clearly. In the G13 area, Zhang Ming, Li Bingfeng, you lead a search and rescue team there." Find her at the bottom of the cliff. As for Li Lei..."
There was a brief silence on the channel.
Then, someone said: "We have no idea where he fell. This mountainous area is so big and there was such a heavy rain. The road is difficult to travel. Even if it takes ten and a half months, we can't complete the search."
"I am afraid…"
“Don’t say anything depressing! Li Lei is so powerful, how can he die so easily?!”
“Bah, bah, bah! Don’t talk nonsense!”
The channel was silent again.
Xia Ling's heartbeat quickened as they talked, then became cold and almost stopped. She watched Li Lei fall down. She didn't know whether he was alive or dead at such a high place. Even if he was lucky enough to be alive, if the rescue team didn't arrive in time, it would probably be a disaster...
"Li Lei! Li Lei, say something! I'm going to **** your uncle, don't scare me! Just talk!" The coach roared until his voice almost became hoarse, "You talk! Talk! Talk!"
His final voice became trembling and slumped.
“Old Zhao!”
“Old Zhao, don’t get excited!”
Many people tried to comfort him, and the voice on the walkie-talkie gradually faded away.
At the bottom of the cliff, the cold rain hit Xia Ling. She wanted to be like her coach Lao Zhao, yelling until she was hoarse, as long as she could call Li Lei back. But she knew that was useless. She had to think of a useful way to save him.
She must communicate the location of his fall to the outside world.
