Chapter 5 Climbing the Desk
Chen Mu knew that Wei Dalei had been slightly afraid of heights since he was a child. He tried his best not to stand near a window above the third floor. Now asking him to climb more than 20 floors would undoubtedly cost his life.
But others didn't know it clearly. Seeing that Wei Dalei was tall and strong, and now he had awakened the ability of the power system, they thought he was refusing to go without anyone but you.
Some people's eyes become strange.
Gu Ping snorted intentionally or unintentionally.
Wei Dalei's face turned red. He has always been a face-saving person. How could he withstand such looks? Moreover, Zhao Xiaoyan was by his side, which made it even more difficult for him to wipe his face. At that moment, his mind became hot and he blurted out: "Okay, I'll go!" "Wait a minute.
" Wait." Chen Mu couldn't help but watch his good brother go to die, and interrupted: "Old Wei, calm down!"
Wei Dalei sighed: "But someone has to go. The squad leader also said just now that there is no piece of cake. , even if we walk out of the classroom, we still don't know when we will find food. Maybe we will all starve to death, so why not let me take a gamble." "
I'll go." Chen Mu said.
"Boss, don't be joking!" Wei Dalei was startled.
"I thought of a way last night, it should be fine."
On the one hand, he didn't want Wei Dalei to die in vain. On the other hand, without that piece of cake, he would most likely starve to death. Although this matter was dangerous, Chen Mu felt that he still had to die. There is a certain degree of certainty.
He didn't explain much, but everyone was naturally happy to see someone coming forward.
After a person shrinks, his sight is extremely limited. The entire classroom has now become a large maze with countless giant wooden pillars standing in it. To be honest, it is quite spectacular.
Of course, this also creates difficulties in discerning direction.
Fortunately, there is Zhao Xiaoyan.
Everyone followed Zhao Xiaoyan, smelling the smell all the way, and slowly found under Du Jiajia's desk.
After arriving at the place.
Chen Mu raised his head and glanced above. The height was really scary.
He collected himself and took a deep breath.
Then, he slowly extended his palm and placed it on the wooden table leg.
The mind moves accordingly.
The next moment, a semicircular handle slowly appeared on the smooth surface.
Done!
Chen Mu's idea is simple. Although he cannot change the entire table with his ability, he can change the shape of part of it.
In fact, the biggest difficulty in climbing the desk is not the height, but the flat legs without any handholds.
But now, the problem has been solved.
Tang Jing knew what Chen Mu was going to do from the first move she saw and couldn't help but nod.
Dong Junwei couldn't help but praise: "Chen Mu, good job!"
Others couldn't help but cheer.
After all, whether Chen Mu can get the cake is related to everyone's survival.
...
Chen Mu tucked the hem of his T-shirt into his sweatpants and tightened his belt.
Then, the climb begins.
With each step up, he created a handle on the table leg.
Then, like climbing an escalator, go up step by step.
To be honest, even with a handhold, this is still not an easy job. It is a big test on physical strength and psychology.
When he was a quarter of the way up, Chen Mu couldn't help but glance down and was frightened. He had been used to wild things outside since he was a child. He was familiar with things like climbing trees and drilling holes, but such a height still made him feel uneasy. Shiver.
He quickly turned around and focused his attention on what was in front of him.
Wei Dalei raised his head below and sighed: "The boss is the boss. Even if I'm not afraid of heights, I can't climb up even if you give me a hand." Then he told everyone that the two of them had fought in junior high school. The experience of fellowship.
Everyone was secretly stunned, saying that they were lucky that they had never offended this thin-looking guy before.
Dong Junwei looked at Chen Mu's figure in mid-air, thoughtfully.
When he was two-thirds of the way up, Chen Mu stopped.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and Wei Dalei, who was afraid of heights, no longer dared to look up, and could only keep asking Zhao Xiaoyan next to him what was going on.
Although he was not exhausted, Chen Mu's experience climbing trees as a child told him that he should never think of resting until his strength was exhausted, otherwise he might not have a chance to rest.
If you are climbing a tree, you should find a branch at this time and sit down to recover your strength.
But there is obviously no such condition at this time.
The next moment, he had a flash of inspiration.
With constant movements of his hands, he took out a dozen large and small rings on the smooth wooden surface, and then put his hands and feet through them, binding himself tightly like a performance art.
Then slowly relax your whole body.
Although the movement is not very elegant, at least it does not require exertion and allows the body to rest for a while.
However, as soon as he relaxed, Chen Mu felt his head feel dizzy, and then a wave of sleepiness hit him, and he almost fell asleep.
He tried to keep his eyes open, forcing himself to stay awake.
Although he was tied very firmly now, once he fell asleep, Chen Mu had no doubt that he would fall.
Having a dizzy head is not a good sign.
When Chen Mu thought about it, the only reason that came to mind was that he used his ability too frequently.
It seems that this so-called superpower consumes something similar to mental power. Once it is overloaded, the body is fine, but the brain can't bear it.
He didn't dare to take any more risks, so he simply rested quietly close to the table leg.
The people below didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Seeing Chen Mu pause for a long time, they felt more and more that something was wrong.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyan?" Wei Dalei still didn't dare to raise his head and asked Zhao Xiaoyan anxiously beside him.
Zhao Xiaoyan didn't care that he used such an affectionate name without permission, and said with worry: "Chen Mu hasn't moved for a long time." "What's wrong with him?" "I don't know, he seems to be
still
resting."
"Is nothing going to happen?" someone asked in a low voice.
"Don't talk nonsense."
"But he has been resting for a long time."
"Climbing high is not as easy as imagined. The further you get to the back, the more your psychology and skills are tested." Tang Jing said solemnly: "And, I guess, Chen Mu is because Using the ability too frequently has caused physical discomfort."
"What discomfort?"
"I don't know." Tang Jing shook her head.
"Then what should we do?" Wei Dalei said anxiously: "Let's go help him."
Tang Jing shook her head: "How to help? Among us, who has the ability to climb so high? Moreover, even if we climb up, what can we do to help? Busy?"
"Then just watch it like this?" Wei Dalei was anxious, but he didn't dare to speak too loudly, as if he was afraid that it would affect Chen Mu above.
In fact, Chen Mu was already far away from them, and even if he shouted loudly, he might not be heard.
Tang Jing said: "Don't worry too much. I saw that Chen Mu didn't panic at all before taking a rest, which shows that he knew what he was doing and rested for so long just to be on the safe side." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw Chen Mu moving again
. .
During this period of time, Chen Mu tried his best to relax his body and not think about anything in his mind. He didn't think about the cake or the many people waiting on the ground. He cleared all his thoughts.
Rested for half an hour.
Only then did he try to climb up again.
This time, he was more cautious than at the beginning, almost stopping to rest every few steps.
As Chen Mu resumed climbing, everyone's hearts tightened again.
Wei Dalei held his head and squatted on the ground, feeling useless.
Tang Jing, who was always calm, couldn't help but her lips trembled slightly at this time.
After about another twenty minutes, Chen Mu finally climbed to the mouth of the desk, and finally rolled into the belly of the desk.
At this time, everyone collectively let out a sigh of relief.
Dong Junwei relaxed and realized that her fingernails had carved a deep mark on the palm of her fist.
