Chapter 98: Easy to defend but difficult to attack Lone Eagle Ridge! (2nd update! words) At this moment, time seems to stand still! Su Chen's heart suddenly rose to his throat, his brain went blank in an instant, the wind was whistling in his ears, and his body, freed from the restraint of gravity, seemed to be falling into a bottomless abyss. His sense of space began to become confused, as if the world was spinning around him. In addition to the strong sound of the wind in his ears, Su Chen faintly heard the shouts of his comrades below the cliff. "Su Chen!!!" It was a roar of horror and extreme worry. training base. When Gao Yi saw Su Chen falling, he stood up suddenly with a change of expression. The instructors beside him also widened their eyes and clenched their fists! Su Chen has climbed to a height of fifteen or sixteen meters, which is equivalent to the height of a five- or six-story building. If this falls... Either death or serious disability!
......... same second. The moment the rock slab was stepped on, Su Chen's body slid down uncontrollably and his brain went blank. In this moment of life and death, between lightning and fire, driven by the instinctive desire to survive, Su Chen's hands quickly grabbed the protruding rocks on the cliff. His body rubbed along the cliff for two meters. After he managed to steady himself, his brain finally regained consciousness. Beads of sweat dripped down Su Chen's face like water. The strong feeling of weightlessness made Su Chen's breathing temporarily stagnate. He stared blankly at everything around him... Fear was like an icy poisonous snake, tightly wrapping around his soul, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back. His stomach was churning, and the feeling of weightlessness for a moment made him feel as if his internal organs were almost thrown out. His blood seemed to be flowing backwards, and his heartbeat rumbled like thunder in his ears, starting to accelerate and become extremely strong! Boom! Boom! Boom...! After a long time, Su Chen finally came to his senses, breathing heavily, "Fuck, I touched the beard of the King of Hell!" "Chen'er, are you okay?!" At this time, Shen Hang and others shouted at him from below the cliff. "Huh..." Su Chen took a deep breath and responded, "It's okay!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Not only did Su Chen break out in a cold sweat on his back, but their hearts almost jumped out of their throats the moment Su Chen stepped on empty air. ......... "Huh...!" At the training base, Gao Yi saw that Su Chen was fine, so he sat down on a chair, feeling a lingering fear. Just for a moment, Gao Yi had even thought about how to write his resignation report! The other instructors also let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from their foreheads. They couldn't help but be thankful for Su Chen's strong subconscious muscle reaction in the moment of life and death. When a person experiences weightlessness, his brain often goes blank and all his actions are almost instinctive, but not everyone has this instinct. It should be noted that under ideal circumstances, ignoring air resistance, the speed of free fall can be calculated according to v = √(2gh). Assuming a height of 15 meters, the falling speed of an adult man can even reach meters per second. What concept? In other words, it took less than a second from the time Su Chen stepped on empty air to the time he fell. But in the blink of an eye, Su Chen was able to instinctively grab anything he could around him and steady his body. This reaction speed... is simply too terrifying to describe! Otherwise, why is it said that people can often unleash enormous potential when under the threat of death? That makes so damn sense!
For a moment, the instructors were unable to understand how Su Chen did it, and could only attribute it to Su Chen's huge potential. But only Su Chen himself knew that this was due to the murderous perception and powerful hearing ability rewarded by the system, which played a crucial role. Facing the threat of death, Su Chen's instinctive reaction overcame his reason. Simply put, Su Chen's central nervous system saw that he was about to die, so it controlled his body and made him do some incredible actions. ………… At this moment, Su Chen had recovered from the fear of death. After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down. If it were an ordinary person, after having just experienced the risk of falling off a cliff, he would probably stand there afraid to move, and it would be understandable that he would pee his pants out of fear. In fact, for a moment, Su Chen also had the idea of not daring to climb up, but it was only a fleeting thought. He was now halfway up the climb. It could be said that sticking his head out would be a risk of injury, and retracting his neck would also be a risk of injury, and the process of going down would be even more dangerous. "Bullshit! I'm not even afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of you?!" Su Chen felt ruthless in his heart. He gritted his teeth and continued to climb up! But this time, Su Chen was even more careful, and countless cells in his body were alert to the extreme. Finally, after climbing safely all the way to the highest point, Su Chen turned over and sat on the top of the mountain, breathing heavily, "Huff...Huff..." Jiang Cheng walked over and patted Su Chen on the shoulder, "Chen'er, you scared me to death just now, what happened?" "I was almost scared to death!" Su Chen said fearfully, "There was a rock slab. It was fine when I grabbed it, but it broke when I stepped on it. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise it would have been smashed to pieces!" Jiang Cheng was also terrified when he heard this, "Fuck, that was too dangerous!" "That's exactly what I said!" Su Chen took a deep breath and stood up. "Okay, those who survive a disaster will be blessed in the future. Let's not just stand there and tie safety ropes for them!" As they said that, Su Chen and Jiang Cheng took off their backpacks, took out a bundle of strong ropes from them, found two thick trees and tied an absolutely safe buckle, then walked to the edge of the cliff and threw the ropes down the cliff with a "snap". The rope was obviously not long enough. There was at least 10 meters of the cliff, which was about or meters high, without rope. Fortunately, the terrain in the area where the rope could not reach was not as steep as the later part. Shen Hang, Yan Ziqiang and other four soldiers climbed up in groups of two. It is much safer with a rope. After all, during the rock climbing process, you don’t have to consider whether the fulcrum you need to step on is strong enough. Not long after, the other four warriors also quickly climbed to the top of the mountain! Looking at the valley on the cliffs below, everyone couldn't help but feel a heroic sense of conquest, "I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains." "Map." Su Chen collected his thoughts and said. Jiang Cheng and Shen Hang immediately took out the map, each holding a corner and spreading it out. Su Chen quickly found the place called Cuiya. "We have arrived at Cuiya now. According to the planned route, we can reach Lone Eagle Ridge in half a day!" Yan Ziqiang thought for a moment and said, "I'm wondering if the enemy will set up an ambush in advance on the road we must take." Shen Hang shook his head. "I don't think so. According to intelligence, the enemy has captured our scientific research experts and is hiding in the mountains to prevent the search by armed and special police. Even if they have set up fortifications, they should be around Lone Eagle Ridge. There is no reason for them to take the initiative to ambush us and create an unprovoked war!" "That being said, we have to be careful!" Jiang Cheng expressed his thoughts at this time, "Maybe they won't ambush us, but it is very likely that they will set up eyes to scout on the road we must pass!" Yan Ziqiang hummed: "Yes, we have to be careful in this regard." "But no matter what, we have to rush to Lone Eagle Ridge. We have to be more careful on the road and pay attention to detecting the enemy." Su Chen pondered and said, "After all, we are also responsible for the task of rescuing hostages!" The team members exchanged opinions and finally agreed that they must be careful on the rest of their journey. Time passed by minute by minute. The six of them were getting closer and closer to Lone Eagle Ridge, and they were becoming more and more cautious in their actions. The sniper Su Chen was the one who stayed behind to provide security and conduct careful reconnaissance when they encountered places that might be ambushed. ......... Lone Eagle Ridge is a dangerous mountain shaped like a lone eagle spreading its wings. Its main peak is the highest among all the Cuiya Mountains, towering into the clouds. Such high mountains are extremely rare in the Northeast.
The Lone Eagle Ridge is surrounded by nearly vertical cliffs, with only a narrow winding path leading up, and many sections of the path are extremely steep, only enough for one person to pass. The path is lined with jagged rocks on both sides, and from a combat perspective, this mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is difficult for the enemy to launch a large-scale charge formation. The terrain at the top of the mountain is relatively flat and open, with an excellent view, and you can clearly see what is happening within several miles around. The front of the mountain is an open steep slope covered with rocks and thorns of various sizes. It is impossible to climb from the front. Although the back of the mountain has a gentler slope, it is covered with dense forests and thorns. There is a bottomless canyon on the flank of Lone Eagle Ridge, with fast-flowing water in the valley, forming a natural barrier. In addition, there is sufficient water source on the top of the mountain. Even if the defenders are besieged by the enemy for a long time, they can rely on the water source to survive and hold their positions. It can be imagined that once a war breaks out in this place, Lone Eagle Ridge will become a battleground. When we arrived at the foot of Guyingling Mountain, it was around three in the afternoon. After a night of rain, the weather finally cleared up, and there was a cool feeling in the mountains and forests, like "an empty mountain after a fresh rain." In a hidden forest at the foot of the mountain. After the two soldiers who had surveyed the terrain came back and introduced the situation of Lone Eagle Ridge, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow, and the rescue team's hearts were once again shrouded in a gloom! With this kind of terrain, it’s no wonder that criminals hide on the top of the mountain! "There is only one route leading to the top of the mountain. This..." Shen Hang sucked his teeth, "How the hell are we going to play this game? As long as the enemy is stationed and conducting reconnaissance on that winding path, we won't be able to escape their reconnaissance if we go up the mountain. By then, let alone rescue, we'll probably be killed before we even get to the top of the mountain!" Yan Ziqiang thought silently and said, "Perhaps we can consider climbing the mountain from the back, so as to avoid being discovered by the enemy." The soldier in charge of scouting the situation shook his head and said, "It's not very realistic. Although the terrain on the back is slightly lower than the front, it is also covered with rocks and thorns. God knows whether the enemy will set up some traps. If we rashly go up the mountain from the back, it will be too easy to fall into an ambush!" Another soldier thought about it and suggested, "What if we climb up the mountain?" "That's even worse!" Jiang Cheng shook his head without even thinking. "The cliff of the main peak of Lone Eagle Ridge is hundreds of meters high and almost vertical. It's too risky for us to climb up like this. How is that different from risking our lives?" "........." Several soldiers discussed the plan, but basically nothing was feasible. There were several good ideas proposed, but there was no coherent implementation plan. Everyone was a little discouraged for a moment, and then they noticed that Su Chen had been thinking silently. Shen Hang couldn't help but bumped Su Chen's arm with his shoulder, "Chen'er, what are you thinking about?" Su Chen's thoughts came back to him, and he said: "I have a plan. Please listen to it and see if it is feasible." When everyone heard that Su Chen had a plan, their eyes lit up and they all looked at Su Chen, waiting for him to continue... ...
