Endless Fall Novel - Chapter 135
135 Surviving in the Wildness
The midwinter sun was warm.
The group followed the quiet mountain path and gradually walked to the cable car.
They got into the two cable cars one after another and rode higher and higher.
“Are you afraid?” Zhou Yanshen looked at Lin Jiao and Qian Yue.
“No.”
!!
“This height is still acceptable.”
They looked out of the window and saw the clear stream and dense trees.
A breeze slipped in from the window, blowing their hair into a mess and quietly stirring their hearts.
When the cable car stopped, Zhou Yanshen came back to his senses.
He pushed open that door and stepped out, waiting for them to follow along. “Is there no staff up here?”
“No.”
“Then how are we going to get there?”
“There’s a sign behind you.” Pei Zhi gestured for him to move to the side so that he could see the words.
He waited for Chu Yuzhou and the others to get out of the car and walked along the road, getting closer and closer to the forest.
The road in the forest was not easy to walk.
There were many dead branches and rocks, leaving a faint sound and trace wherever they passed.
The birds flying overhead occasionally blocked the sun.
Their cries echoed in the forest, making the surrounding atmosphere inexplicably strange.
Pei Yilan zipped up her jacket. “I feel like we’re surviving in the wilderness.”
“To be honest, it’s quite exciting.”
“Do you think there are wild boars here?”
“No.” Qu Shao pushed aside the dead branches in front of him. “But there are many poisonous spiders and centipedes.”
“No way?”
“Really.” When he pulled a long face, his words were much more believable. “That’s why I told you not to show your ankles.”
“Don’t scare me.”
“Look at the tree if you don’t believe me.”
Chu Yuzhou really found a spider.
He leaned closer to take a look and asked Shen Yi, “Is this a poisonous spider?”
“No,” Shen Yi said indifferently. “Even if you see a poisonous spider, as long as you don’t touch it, it won’t bite you.”
Lin Jiao, who was most afraid of spiders, had goosebumps just by hearing their conversation.
“Uncle.” She edged toward Pei Zhi and said softly, “Let’s walk faster.”
“Do you want me to carry you?”
“No need.”
Pei Zhi diverted her attention. “Jiaojiao, find the sign.”
“Yes.” Lin Jiao looked around.
They followed the signs and finally walked out of the winding road and stopped by the stream.
About three to four meters from the surface of the stream, there was a single wooden bridge held up by a steel rope.
There were only a few dozen wooden stakes on the bridge, but each stake was separated by a distance. Just looking at them made one nervous.
“I’ll go up and try it first.” Chu Yuzhou tied the safety rope on the steel rope and walked to the wooden stake.
He raised his right foot and took the first step. After stabilizing his footing, he turned around and said, “This wooden stake is not wide enough. It’s not easy to step on.”
“Look down.”
“Not high. I’m sure you’ll be fine.”
“Wait for me.” Pei Yilan followed closely behind, one hand holding the steel cable as she stepped forward.
She looked at the clear stream and was ok with the height. “It’s indeed not high, but looking at it for too long makes me dizzy.”
“Then don’t look.” Chu Yuzhou waited for her every two steps so that he could save her in time if she was too stupid to miss her step and fell into the stream.
He stopped in the middle and shouted at the people on the other side of the bridge, “Why are you still standing there
