Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 437

You can see the scan map of the drone, Zhuoli Getu, and Ke Lan and others behind can also see it.

"Damn it...it's all red zone...there is no safe foothold..." Layton stared, holding the drone's joystick tightly in his hand, swinging back and forth in front of this fold— —But the results of each scan are the same, the entire fold zone is a dazzling bright red... This means that this area may collapse at any time.

"Or, let's give up." The hound sighed, "Even if the person in the rescue cabin is rescued, he may not be able to be saved. It's not worth taking risks for a half-dead person."

"I've come here, let me give up, I'm not reconciled." Zhuoligetu panted and said, although the power armor was used as an aid, he was still in a state of high mental tension when he climbed four folds in a row. Now, physical exertion is extremely terrifying.Even this strong Mongolian guy had to stop and give himself a shot of stimulant and a booster.

"I want to try." Zhuo Ligetu's breathing became a little more stable, "The rescue capsule is already so close to me, it doesn't make sense to turn around at this time."

"Layton, tighten the wire rope and be ready to save people at any time." Ke Lan said.

"I know, I've been pulling it all the time, and I let it out centimeter by centimeter." Layton said nervously, his arms were tightly holding the rotating shaft wrapped with the steel cable, which was as high as the thickness of a thumb. The strength cables stretched straight—this was Zoligetu's only hope of survival if he stumbled and fell into the crevasse.

Zoligetu bent down, bowed his body and began to touch forward. He first put his hands on the sides of the folds, and after confirming that the part he touched was enough to support his own weight, he shifted the center of gravity of his body little by little.

"Okay, there's no problem here." He seemed to be talking to Ke Lan and the others, and he seemed to be talking to himself, "The next step..."

The steel claws of both hands popped out and cut into the rock. Zhuoligetu began to gradually increase the strength of his arms, and at the same time raised his right leg, kicking the claws of his toes into the slope.

It took him a full 5 minutes just to climb one step.

The flashing frequency of the orange signal light in the rescue cabin has changed to once every three seconds. The survivors are in a very critical condition, but no one dares to tell Zhuo Ligetu—no one dares to urge him, for fear that he will die because of Mistakes in haste.

After another 10 minutes, Zhuo Ligetu finally fixed the steel claws on the top of the folded ridge. As long as he used his strength to drag his body up, it was basically considered a success...

But at this moment, a crisp sound of "click" came from his ear.

Zhuoligetu froze immediately, he felt as if his heartbeat had missed a beat, he hung there, not daring to move, even holding his breath.

"Is... an illusion?"

He waited for almost five seconds, but nothing happened.

"It must be an illusion..."

Zhuoligetu settled his mind, and slightly increased the strength on the steel claws——

"Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka..."

This time, a series of clear cracking sounds sounded inside the fold, which also made him sure that the sound he heard just now was not an illusion... But it was too late for him to jump off the fold, and the top of the fold collapsed in an instant The steel claws that were originally fixed on it were also unhooked, and he completely lost the place he could rely on!
"Crash-"

The sound of collisions between the crushed stones was a mess, and Zoligetu felt his brain go blank—a strong airflow gushed out from below. He knew that the ground under his feet had completely sunk, and this airflow was not enough Support his body, soon, he will fall into the magma!

……

"Collect!!" Ke Lan shouted hoarsely, Layton turned the reel desperately, the steel cable was crazily retracted, and the ground was constantly shattering. Zhuo Ligetu was always hanging on the edge of the cliff. Couldn't climb up to it.

"Continue to collect!" Ke Lan shouted, "As long as the speed of the steel cable can exceed the speed of the ground subsidence, we can pull him back!"

"I know! This is already the fastest speed! The axle is starting to get hot, and there is no way to go faster!" Layton roared with red eyes, the mechanical arm grasped the handle of the rotating shaft and kept turning, and the "squeak" in the rotating shaft The sound of "squeak" is endless.

"You must leave here immediately!" At some point, Aya Breya also ran over, "The entire extrusion zone has begun to collapse, and the outer area may also fall into the magma with it!"

"We won't give up on our teammates." Ke Lan glanced at her, then turned his head back. He was ready, even if he was forced to start and stop, he would grab Zhuoligetu back.

And the hound's answer was even more straightforward: "What kind of fart are you letting go? Get out of here!"

100 meters, 50 meters... Under the traction of the steel cable, the distance between Zhuoligetu and Ke Lan became smaller and smaller, and the entire extrusion zone continued to crumble like dominoes being toppled , Falling——If you turn your attention to the ultrasonic scanning image of the drone at this time, you will find that the remaining green areas in the entire squeeze zone are rapidly turning orange, and then from orange to red.

The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant's nest, not to mention that this squeezed zone is full of "ant's nests".

From the perspective of Ke Lan and the others, Zhuoligetu could no longer be seen, only the steel cable racing against the collapsed ground——

Those folds collapsed one after another, and the gravel rolled down the cliff rumblingly, and the cracks on the ground spread and expanded rapidly towards the outside. Ke Lan felt as if he could hear the sound of the magma flowing underneath.

Finally, at a place less than ten meters away from Ke Lan and the others, the trend of the ground collapse finally stopped, and Layton also pulled hard, pulling Zhuoligetu who was "hanging" on the other end of the steel cable from the cliff. The bottom was lifted up.

At this time, everyone noticed that Zhuoligetu's hands were actually tightly grasping the rescue capsule.

"...Are you dying? You have been holding on to this thing just now?" Seeing this scene, the hound cursed instantly.

Zoligetu's body was still in a tense state until his feet stepped on the solid ground. His hands were tightly grasping the pull rings on the rescue cabin. What happened to his bent knees and calves? Can't get back to an upright position.

"Relax, relax." Ivan rushed to his side immediately, and he knew the problem just by touching it through the power armor.

"The leg... the leg seems to be... cramped, but... I don't know why... I can't control it..." Zhuoligetu said tremblingly.

"Well, I know, the muscle spasm is very severe, I have to give you an injection of relaxant, but the side effect is that you will have to rely on the power armor to drive your legs for the next 10 minutes."

"fine……"

Ivan took out two syringes, one pain reliever and one muscle relaxant from the medical kit. He opened a flap on Zoligetu's leg armor, and inserted the needle into the emergency injection hole reserved on the armor. inside.

With the injection of the liquid medicine, Zhuoligetu's pale face eased slightly. He supported the rescue capsule, sat down slowly, and began to breathe heavily.
