I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping-Chapter 55 - 0 High-altitude danger!

55: 055 High-altitude danger!

55: 055 High-altitude danger!

Mists and clouds twirled around, and at this moment, the sun too seemed to hide away, leaving no trace.

High winds swept mercilessly over the precipice, causing several girls to tremble in terror, their legs beginning to go weak.

“Are you all right?”

Jiang Chen, at the back, asked with concern.

“I’m fine.”

At this time, Li Shuru set aside her personal grievances to follow Hu Heng’s instructions, gripping the handrail with all her might to maintain balance, quietly waiting for the wind to cease.

“Whoosh…”

As the wind howled, the sea of clouds surged like tidal waves, a truly rare and magnificent sight to behold.

But at this very moment, no one dared to take photos, not even the men.

Because they did not dare to let go of the handrails.

Along with the sea of clouds, the footpath under them swayed too, though not extensively, it was still enough to make their hearts pound with trepidation.

At this moment, human beings could deeply realize their insignificance.

“I want to go back, I can’t do this anymore…”

Zheng Jingjing’s legs bent, almost leading her to sit down on the trail, clearly, nature’s grandeur had shattered her already scant courage.

“Didn’t you promise President Hu you would come?”

Li Shuru was both annoyed and amused, but at that time, all she could do was to reassure, “We’re almost there, look back and see, it’s a longer path if you go back now.

Just hold on a little longer.”

“Wuu wuu wuu…”

Zheng Jingjing, caught in a dilemma, wanted to cry without tears.

About five or six minutes later, the force of the wind gradually abated.

The sea of clouds slowly returned to calm.

The sun also began to shine down again.

Hu Heng let out a quiet sigh of relief and shouted loudly, “It’s okay now, everyone keep moving!”

Under his leadership, the team set off again.

On the walkway, the twelve had to overcome not just their fear of heights but also the tenacious tree branches sprouting from the crevices on the cliff.

They grew horizontally like tigers blocking the way, right in the middle of the path.

With no choice, everyone had to bend down and crouch to get under them as they passed.

“Ah, my phone!”

But as Zheng Jingjing crouched down, perhaps because her buttocks were too pert, it squeezed her phone out of her back pocket, causing it to fall through the gap between two planks.

She hurriedly tried to grab it, but her reaction was too slow, and she could only watch helplessly as her phone tumbled into the abyss.

A phone wasn’t cheap, at least a few thousand.

Zheng Jingjing was very upset.

“Don’t look at it anymore; it’s gone.

I’ll get you a new one,”

Li Shuru quickly said.

“Really?”

Zheng Jingjing turned around, even forgetting her fear for a moment,

“Why would I lie to you?”

With Li Shuru’s current income, a phone really was nothing to mention.

“But my phone had so many precious photos…”

Zheng Jingjing was reluctant to part with it, but she also understood that her phone was definitely not coming back.

“Why don’t they clear these branches away!”

She grumbled indignantly, standing up and continuing forward.

Li Shuru bent down and followed closely behind, crawling under the branches.

“Only about a hundred meters left, we’re almost there, everyone push a little harder!”

Hu Heng’s encouraging voice came from ahead.

Li Shuru breathed a sigh of relief, her nervousness slightly easing, but accidents often strike when one lets their guard down.

“Crack…”

When the white sneaker stepped on a wooden plank, perhaps due to long-term decay, the plank suddenly broke in two without warning.

Li Shuru was completely unprepared, and in an instant, she plunged downward!

Hearing the sound, Zheng Jingjing turned her head instinctively, the scene that met her eyes froze her expression, and for a moment her mind went completely blank.

“Shu Rui!!”

A scream tore through the sky.

The people in front were strangely in unison as they turned their heads, their heartbeats invariably skipping a beat!

All they saw was Li Shuru falling straight down.

In the nick of time, someone stepped forward.

No, that’s not right.

He lunged!

While others were stunned by the sudden turn of events, only Jiang Chen wasn’t paralyzed; as Li Shuru’s foot slipped into emptiness, he lunged without a second thought, grabbing Li Shuru’s arm with a desperate vigor just as half her body had already fallen off the path.

“Hold on to me!”

Li Shuru herself was initially dumbstruck.

It took her a second or two to snap back to reality.

Suffocating fear enveloped her entire being as she instinctively looked down.

The mist below was hazy, revealing an unfathomable abyss.

If she fell, there would be no trace of her left.

“Don’t look down, hold on to me!”

Jiang Chen’s face turned red, and veins bulged on his neck.

Though Li Shuru wasn’t heavy, at that moment, with no footing on the trail and nowhere to leverage, he could only grab the rope on one side of the handrail with one hand, and hold onto Li Shuru’s arm with the other.

Despite exerting all his strength, the slender arm wrapped in her clothing was still sliding slowly.

Li Shuru finally realized the urgency, hastily grabbed Jiang Chen’s wrist with her other hand, and looked up to see a face straining with all its might.

“Jiang Chen…”

Adversity reveals the true nature of a person’s character.

You see,

this was in the high skies, and not everyone possesses such selfless courage.

One misstep, and both could plummet into the depths, becoming desperate lovers in a tragic fall.

“You can’t die!”

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and pulled Li Shuru up with all his might.

This girl was his target for conquest; if she were gone, his bright future would shatter along with her.

So, she mustn’t get hurt!

Li Shuru, of course, was unaware of all this.

No girl can resist a man who risks his life for her, no matter how materialistic and vain she might be.

Li Shuru did not know her significance to Jiang Chen; all she knew was that a flood of unprecedented feelings was overwhelming her heart and soul, a moment she might never forget for the rest of her life.

“What are you waiting for!

Help, quick!” freёnovelkiss.com

Jiang Chen shouted loudly.

Zheng Jingjing trembled, snapping out of her shock, and hurriedly crouched down to grab Li Shuru’s arm.

Together, the two of them finally pulled Li Shuru back from the brink of death.

“Phew…”

Jiang Chen collapsed onto the wooden planks, gasping for air.

“Shu Rui, are you alright?!”

Hu Heng shouted from up ahead.

The harrowing scene had also left him in a cold sweat.

If Jiang Chen had not reacted in time and risked his life for the rescue, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

“I’m okay.”

Li Shuru didn’t lack the desire to reply loudly, but she simply had no strength to do so; anyone would be dazed after such an incident.

“Shu Rui, you scared me to death!”

Zheng Jingjing clung to Li Shuru in panic, tears already welling up in the corners of her eyes.

“Thank goodness, that was close to making the news,”

Jiang Chen said with a wry smile as he exhaled heavily from his seat on the side.

Li Shuru’s eyes trembled, and she slowly turned her head.

There he was, wiping his sweat, looking thoroughly exhausted.

His face at that moment couldn’t be described as handsome and was indeed quite a mess, but it was enough to etch itself deeply into her memory.
