Chapter 551: Empty Ladder
The failed radio suddenly sounded in the storm, Gu Yu and I looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.
I think Gu Yu must also want to confirm the sound inside again, so as not to hear it wrongly and be happy.
"It's a big dragon!" A few seconds later, I couldn't help but feel the joy in my heart and spoke first.
As the signal increased, I heard that he was calling us and was immediately ecstatic, which showed that Long Tao was still alive.
Gu Yu was clamped by me and his hands could move. Fortunately, the communicator was stuck in the middle of a bunch of instruments and was not sucked away by the wind. Gu Yu locked it out and tried to talk to Long Tao.
"Gou Team, Gu Team, Sang Rou, are you here? I am Long Tao, I am Long Tao, please reply when I hear it." This is Long Tao's fifth repeated call.
"Long Tao, we are here, what's going on with you?" Gu Yu asked in a voice to the communicator.
"Golden Team? It's so good, where are you? We, in the eyes of the tornado, the steel cable was broken. Have you found the cover? Not injured, are you?"
Long Tao was obviously very excited, but was it too early for him to be happy now?
"We are in the tornado too." The tank rotated 180 degrees again, and the communicator in Gu Yu's hand was almost shaken off.
"Ah? I didn't see you!" Long Tao said blankly.
Before Gu Yu could reply, the tank drew an arc, as if it was thrown to the score line, and then it stopped moving.
Then we heard Long Tao shouting excitedly: "Hey, I saw you!"
This time the sound was not from the radio communicator, but from outside the tank.
Gu Yu and I climbed out of the hatch, and the scene in front of me made me feel careless about Long Tao, who was waving at us.
The tank was suspended in mid-air, surrounded by spiral clouds of black and gray, shaped like a giant funnel. We were in the middle of the funnel, and we seemed to be trapped in a washing machine drum that went straight to the world. The strong wind drove the funnel clouds to rotate, and there were many things mixed in it, trucks, house wrecks, big trees uprooted, etc.
Some things were thrown out as I turned around. I looked up and there was a crane floating above our heads, but there was no one inside.
The clouds seemed to automatically screen, spit out the light, and throw enough weight into the stomach.
And we are like being in a strange world, isolated from the world, without even a trace of breeze here, and the rotating clouds are the boundary markers of this world, isolating all external objects.
I was in a daze and felt how small people were in front of nature. We are not grasshoppers, but ants.
I believe none of us have experienced this situation before, and I looked up to the farther sky, at the end of the funnel cloud.
The clouds are deep, with lightning and thunder, and lightning is like thousands of silver snakes walking through the clouds. The sound of muffled thunder sounds very far away, but it shocks people's hearts.
Long Tao stood on the front of the tank he was riding on, raised his arms and waved at us.
He looked lively and should not be injured. There was also a man wearing a tank hat sitting by the hatch, staring at the tank with a numb look on his face, his eyes empty, as if he was greatly stimulated.
The position we were thrown in was relatively high, and it was at least several thousand meters away from the ground. If we fell from here, even the robot would fall into pieces.
"This wind is not normal." Gu Yu whispered, then asked Long Tao loudly: "How many people do you have?"
Long Tao pointed behind him: "Just me and him."
The steel cable connecting the two tanks has long disappeared, and there is no rope on the car, otherwise I would like to try to slide down from here.
Gu Yu said that this wind was abnormal, perhaps referring to our hovering state at this moment.
I often hear that the United States loves tornadoes. When encountering large tornados, not to mention people and livestock, even cars and houses will still be carried to the sky.
But there has never been a news report that such a strange situation has happened in front of you. Of course, many things that happened after the end of the world cannot be understood by previous common sense.
For example, it is winter now, and this is not the season when tornadoes should appear. Moreover, tornadoes are very rare on the grasslands. The only time is in the summer a few years ago.
Fortunately, I am not a stubborn personality. When I encounter something I can’t understand or understand, I put it aside.
On the positive side, this is also our opportunity. If we can find a way to continue, we will have a chance to survive.
"Captain, look at that." Long Tao suddenly pointed to the hover area on the upper left.
There was an airplane where he pointed to, with its wings folded, and the cabin windows were all broken, but the cabin door was closed.
What can a wingless plane do?
I looked at Long Tao in confusion, but Gu Yu immediately understood his intention and told him that he could give it a try.
"What to try?" Seeing that the two of them had a good understanding, I had to ask for my questions.
"That was a military transport aircraft. The hatch door was not opened, and there might be a parachute inside." Gu Yu explained briefly.
"Let me go." As soon as I heard that there was a parachute, I immediately became energetic and wanted to rush forward.
There are many things floating in the eye of the wind, all of which are heavyweight without exception. The distance between them is different, and some are far away, so climbing tools are required.
"Wait." Gu Yu grabbed me and said, "You need tools to borrow."
Gu Yu didn't rush to come with me, and the blood mark on his clothes expanded. I grabbed him and asked him to deal with the wound first. I just did the tools.
As I said that, I turned around and crawled back into the tank and pulled out the solid strap that was placed under the seat.
There are many metal sticks in the tank, and I don’t know what they do. Anyway, the tank is destined to be scrapped. What’s the use? I will use it for a while. I broke off a few metal tubes and used them to make a hook claw.
Pass the strap through the ring at the end of the hook claw, and a simple, mini version of the fly hook is freshly released. The strap is only one and a half meters long. It is definitely not possible to use it as a rope, but it is perfect for use at this moment.
I climbed out of the hatch with the flying hook, and saw Gu Yu raising his head, his eyes wandering back and forth along the objects between us and the plane, as if looking for the best way to climb the plane.
"Your injury!" I moved very quickly, and it didn't take much time to make a hook. Look at him, it was not like he had checked the wound on himself. I wanted to untie the cotton scarf on my neck and bandage him, but he held it down.
"Hurry up and go up from there." Gu Yu's eyes were firm, with familiar and unforgivable majesty.
"I know, but you have to bandage the wound." I continued to move, quickly untied my scarf, and stuffed it into his hand without any refusal.
Gu Yu took the scarf and nodded: "Be careful, there is something wrong with the gravity here."
I understand what he meant. Everything in the wind's eyes seemed to be like in space. Everything was floating, but we did not float up.
Then this at least shows that gravity is still effective for us. If I climb halfway and miss the action, I will fall miserably.
The transport plane is more than 200 meters higher than us, and there are cranes that can be climbed, half train cars, and some other things in the middle.
The route Gu Yu chose for me was only two points far apart, and he needed to use a flying hook, which was also the best route.
Long Tao and his tank were more than two meters away from us. He couldn't come over, and he couldn't reach the plane from his position.
The diameter of this huge eye is calculated in kilometers, and it is very strange that the position of the tornado is fixed and has not moved.
However, now is not the time to study strange weather viewing. God knows when the wind will stop, and we will all die if the wind and clouds dissipate.
I used the real "stairs" in the air with both hands and feet and climbed up according to the route chosen by Gu Yu.
When my weight fell on these objects, it did not affect them, as if something had fixed them in mid-air.
As long as I can step on it, I feel much more at ease, and I am afraid that I will end up like a broken bone.
During the climb, I could feel my weight and my body was not as light as the cosmos in space.
Finally climbed under the plane and I stepped onto a large mechanical equipment. It must have come from a factory. I couldn't help but think of the scene in Haishi at this time.
If the tornado had not moved, it should still be above the sea city. That is to say, the entire sea city is now at our feet, and the foundation of the city is at our feet, and the ground buildings are all in the constant rotation of the wind and clouds around us.
Although the weight of the mechanical equipment is sufficiently swallowed by a tornado, it does not accommodate many places, because the designers definitely did not think of using it as a pedal when they were made.
"Be careful!" Gu Yu shouted as he bandaged his wounds below while staring at my movements.
"It's okay." I climbed to the top of the equipment, stepped on two uneven iron pipes, tried hard to maintain balance, and slowly stood up.
This is the most dangerous part, like practicing acrobatics, I raised my arms and reached out to hold the shell of the plane.
In fact, the cabin door of the plane had already opened. I grabbed the gap and pulled it down hard.
I used all my strength, and the cabin door made a squeaking sound. I continued to exert force, and the muscles on my arms began to tremble. Finally, I pulled the cabin door open, but I didn't expect there was something inside the door.
And it was a hideous face, which rushed out of the hatch door, and was almost going to have a close kiss with me.
For a moment, I instinctively retreated, but there was no way out behind me, and my body suddenly lost balance. Although I punched the thing and made it deviate from the track and slide to the side, I also fell off the equipment.
"Sang Rou——" The two voices overlapped, full of anxiety and concern.
Unfortunately, the two of them couldn't help me, so I could only save myself. I couldn't give up until the moment I died.
My body has fallen down, but my back is still facing down, so it will be difficult for me to catch things and save my life.
After hitting the top cover of an excavator at my waist, I finally changed my posture and turned into a face-down drop.
Ignoring the severe pain in my waist, I threw out the flying hook and hooked the wreckage of a building. The hook was stuck in the middle of the exposed steel bars, but my stomach hit a raised section, but fortunately it was a brick that raised, not a sharp thing.
Chapter completed!
