Chapter Ninety-Five: Nine Deaths and One Life

  In the darkness, Liu Fei opened his mobile phone again, aiming at the top of the elevator, and with the light from the boot-up moment, he quickly saw the outside of the skylight. He then quickly stood under it, raised his hand to try, but found that the elevator was about 2.4 meters high, and even if he jumped up, he couldn't reach the top. He said to Xue Lingyun: "Xue Lingyun, sit on my shoulders, I'll lift you up, you try to open the skylight, we can escape from there."

  Xue Lingyun obediently hummed in agreement, fumbling in the darkness to sit on Liu Fei's shoulders, one hand gently wrapping around Liu Fei's head, "Liu Fei, I'm ready."

  Liu Fei carefully stood up, and in the darkness, Xue Lingyun's hand happened to touch the top position. His hand gently searched around and finally found the button on the ceiling. He lightly pressed it down, and the skylight sprang open with a creak. A column of light shone down from above, and the originally dark elevator room immediately became bright. Borrowing that faint light, Liu Fei could already vaguely see Xue Lingyun: "Come, I'll lift you up first."

  As he spoke, Liu Fei's hand gently grasped Xue Lingyun's buttocks and lifted her up. Xue Lingyun used his hands to hold onto the outer edge of the elevator top, while Liu Fei supported her legs and pushed upwards. Before long, Xue Lingyun climbed up, and Liu Fei lightly jumped up from where he was standing, grabbing onto the outer edge of the elevator with both arms, and with a burst of strength, his body rose upwards, climbing onto the top of the elevator.

  The elevator started shaking in the air, standing on top of the elevator and looking at the bright light above, which was like a moon in the sky. Although it looked radiant, it gave people a very distant feeling. Looking up, only three cables were left to suspend the elevator. One of them was broken and still floating in the air, shaking.

  Liu Fei gritted his teeth, crouched down and said to Xue Lingyun: "You lie on my back, hold my neck tightly, never let go, we'll climb up."

  Xue Lingyun's eyes widened in disbelief and she exclaimed: "So high, can you climb up?"

  "We have no choice but to climb up! Otherwise, we'll be waiting for death!"

  Xue Lingyun stopped talking, her body pressed against Liu Fei's back, tightly hugging his neck. Liu Fei stood up and came to a rope in front of him, trying it with both hands, looking like it was still sturdy. He grasped the rope tightly with both hands and slowly started climbing up.

  The rope was oily and extremely slippery, making it very difficult to grasp. Liu Fei almost used up all his strength to firmly grab the rope and slowly climb up little by little like a snail.

  There were several times when Liu Fei almost fell off due to the excessive oil on his hands, but he managed to grab onto the rope tightly at the last moment. Although his palms were already bloody and the steel wire had deeply embedded into his flesh, he had no choice. He was now responsible for two lives, and living was his only goal. Escaping was a responsibility he had to bear, and he couldn't avoid it because he was a man!

  A man must bravely face difficulties and death, a man must take on the responsibility of protecting women! There is no why, just because you are a man! This is Liu Fei's logic. So, even though his palms were already cracked and bleeding at this moment, even though sometimes he had to use his teeth to bite onto the steel wire rope to steady himself, he never gave up.

  Time was passing minute by minute, second by second. Liu Fei climbed higher and higher, the distance to the rooftop was only over 30 meters, but he felt like he had been climbing for a whole year or even longer. His clothes were already soaked with sweat, blood was flowing down his arms from the wounds on his hands, and it had already reached his body. But Liu Fei persisted. As the bright light drew closer and closer to the two of them, Liu Fei gritted his teeth, using all his strength to climb upwards.

  The light is just ahead, closer and closer. At this moment, Liu Fei's mind only has one thought, which is to climb up! His hands are transmitting wave after wave of heart-piercing pain, his teeth biting tightly onto the rope, one point at a time, climbing up!

  The rope was swinging violently in the air, and on the rope were Liu Fei and Xue Lingyun, like a large mantis carrying a small one.

  Although the light was getting brighter, Xue Lingyun had already seen the blood gushing out of Liu Fei's palm, saw his mouth full of oil stains and teeth stained black with oil. At this moment, Liu Fei's expression was so focused, in his eyes, that rope seemed to be a high mountain, and he was now conquering that mountain. His face was so

  I don't know how long it took! Liu Fei felt the cool breeze, looked up and saw a lone lamp floating quietly above his head. Liu Fei let out a long sigh, finally reaching the top, but before he could even finish exhaling, he was dismayed to discover that he and Xue Lingyun had to move to the rope next to them in order to descend onto a staircase, then from the staircase go open the door, immediately the elevator would start running. However, there was still a full meter of distance between the rope Liu Fei was on and the other rope. This one-meter distance made Liu Fei's head ache. At this moment, he had to hold tightly onto the current rope in order to prevent both people from falling off, because the rope was too slippery. Although the distance was only one meter, which his body could reach, he couldn't stretch to get it.

  At this time, Xue Lingyun said: "I'll go first, and then I'll pull you over. I've practiced gymnastics before, I can make it." She said very seriously.

  Liu Fei nodded: "You go first, as long as you can get past, I'll think of a way to get past myself."

  Xue Lingyun's legs tightly wrapped around Liu Fei's waist, then her body arched backward, stretching out to grab the other rope and with a swing of her body, she flew through a distance of over one meter like a swallow, landing on the cement floor. Only then did Liu Fei let out a breath, reaching out to grab the other rope, and with a heave of his body, also landed on the cement floor.

  The two of them looked at each other in dismay and burst out laughing. This time it was truly a narrow escape from death!

  Xue Lingyun unhesitatingly grasped Liu Fei's arm and walked up the stairs, pushing open an iron door. Brilliant sunlight poured in, dazzling both of them so much that they covered their eyes with their hands.

  Too dazzling.

  The wind blows in, and the air is so fresh. The two people look at each other and smile, taking big breaths of this rare air.

  At this moment, there were two black dots in the sky that kept getting closer and closer. Then with a loud crash, they hit the two people separately, and Liu Fei and Xue Lingyun's bodies simultaneously fell to the ground.
