The scorching sun of August envelops Europe, and even the air is filled with dense summer heat. It seems that just staying in the hot sun for a while is enough to melt everything. But even so, there is still no way to stop people's enthusiasm for vacation.
As the busiest holiday of the year, people all over the European continent are flocking to the resort to enjoy this rare holiday. Ibiza Island, Corsica islands, Santorini Island, Morocco... Every sunny place has become a European destination, bustling on the beach, relax, let sunbathing, cocktails, sea water to fill their holiday every day.
Located in Provence in the south of France, verdong gorge is also one of the most famous resorts. There are not only world-famous peach wine, purple lavender fields in full bloom in July, but also the enchanting lake of the Holy Cross, not to mention the Southern cuisine that cannot be replaced by French food. The Germans, the British, the Swedes and so on, they take the trouble to drive here for a long time, seize the last tail of summer and enjoy themselves.
However, verdong gorge is 12 miles long. The sections with gentle water are noisy. The sections with fast water are majestic and steep. The sound of rushing water is thundering in the sun. The dark brown cliffs are covered with continuous green vegetation. They are towering into the clouds and silent. Rocks and abysses, desolation and desolation, green water and rainbow shadow, Blue sky and goshawk... It's as quiet as a paradise. The wind carries the sky in the deep of the canyon, and the summer air disappears in an instant.
"Are you ok?"
A hoarse sound reverberates over the river course of the canyon. In a moment, it is swallowed by the raging waves. If you look closer, you can see a middle-aged man with ponytail and ponytail, wearing loose shorts, naked upper body, revealing his strong muscles. There is a small black cloth bag hanging on his waist, and the mouth of the bag is covered with white anti-skid powder, Apart from that, there was nothing left. He was hanging on the precipice of the cliff in an empty way - his hands were relaxed and stretched out tightly, and he grasped two small protrusions respectively. His feet didn't step on any supports. Like an eagle, he was hanging in the air at least 30 meters above the ground. His whole body was only maintained by the strength of his fingers.
Such a picture, just described in my mind, is enough to frighten me into a cold sweat. It's hard to imagine that as long as I don't pay attention, or my palms are sweating, or my fingertips are lax, then he will fall down in the way of free fall, and then he will become a bloody corpse.
But now, he is very relaxed, with a smile, and even the mind to chat!
"Ha. It's OK. "
About 15 meters below him, there was a small rock bulge, only the size of a handkerchief. A young boy stepped on the bulge with one foot, and his right hand held a crack in the rock above. Then his whole body opened up, and the wind roared past. He ran back like an open window, His back bumped firmly against the cliff, and some trivial rock fragments fell down, as if the support points of his right hand and hands and feet were in danger. However, he looked at the horizon of green and blue in the distance, and the gloom and tangle between his brows were slightly relaxed.
The matching of black shorts and white T-shirt, and the bag of anti-skid powder hanging at the waist, but compared with the middle-aged man, the waist is also tied with a bright yellow climbing rope, but the rope does not fall from the top as people think, but extends from the waist down. On the ground, you can also see a large bundle of climbing rope coiled, obviously, This rope is not a climbing aid, but a protective measure, or a quick tool for descent.
But even so, still let a person see palms sweating, heart beat.
He raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man at the top. "If I'm thinking about life, do you believe it?"
The joke made the middle-aged man laugh. "Then you chose a wonderful place. I think you have good taste." The man nodded to the young man below, "good luck!"
After that, he saw the man hang upside down with his hands. Then he touched the rock with his feet and felt for a while. When he stepped on a borrowing point, his left hand loosened, and the whole man hung around. When he was about to hit the cliff, his left foot stretched out as a buffer to slow down his speed, and then his left hand swayed upward, Caught another little bump.
He didn't rush to continue to exert his strength. Instead, he fumbled carefully to make sure the strength of his left hand was accurate. Then he adjusted his breath and began to climb step by step. Like a gecko, he didn't use any equipment or protective measures. He completely climbed unarmed rock, agile and light, integrated with the wind, rock and sky.
Lan Li was a little distracted, and his eyes could not help showing a trace of admiration and yearning.
His ultimate goal is to do unarmed climbing, really do not rely on any equipment, only with a bag of anti-skid powder, directly climb the cliff. Of course, as a beginner, he still has a lot to learn. Compared with top rope climbing, unarmed climbing is not only more dangerous and exciting, but also more demanding for physical function. Because of any error or mistake, there is no chance to recover.
This is the third attempt of lanli's physical unarmed climbing. Although he does not use any tools to climb up, he will still carry climbing rope, quick hook and hanging piece with him. After climbing to a certain position with his bare hands, he will use quick hook to fasten the hanging piece, so as to ensure that protective measures can save his life after his fall.
It's been three weeks since the film was buried alive. The film was killed six days earlier than expected. It took only eight days to complete all the shooting in the studio. After that, Rodrigo will complete the filming of the dubbing performance, and then enter the post editing stage.
In the last three days of shooting, Langley tried to get into the feeling between out of control and control again, but failed. He didn't feel it any more. The feeling of out of control of being possessed lasted until the end, supporting all his performances. However, for Lan Li, the film is finished, but his role is still not over.
He is always immersed in Paul Conroy's world. The only difference between him and the movie is that he survived, but things are not so simple. After the fear of being buried alive, the threat of death scythe, and the trauma of being abandoned by the government and the company, even if he survived, his soul is still full of holes. Many times, the wounds of the body can be healed immediately, but the wounds of the spirit will remain for a long time.
It's like Eugene sletcher of the Pacific War. What Langley is most curious about is that Eugene's faith and soul have been fragmented, so how did he return to normal life after all? Now, as "Paul", he is also experiencing all this.
He has come to realize that he can distinguish between fantasy and reality, and that he is Langley rather than Paul, but the mental trauma is deeply in his mind, as if he had experienced a real life escape, which makes him have the illusion of schizophrenia.
What's worse, the quality of his sleep is still not much better. You know, sleep is a more satisfying cure than food and desserts for him. But now, nightmares linger. After shaqing, he had the same dream. He went back to the coffin and was about to be buried alive. Every dream is the same, every fear and despair is not relieved.
He knew that it was called too deep into the play.
However, he did not expect that he, who was born in the traditional academic school, would one day fall into such an embarrassing situation. If he was known by the school teachers, he would be severely criticized for his dereliction of duty.
Faced with such a situation for the first time, he was a complete rookie and didn't know what to do. It didn't seem to be a right choice to find a psychologist. So after leaving Barcelona, Langley came to the Welton gorge and began to learn from the basics. He really devoted himself to the world of unarmed climbing.
Unarmed rock climbing is a sport that challenges one's own limits, but it's not a "death seeking" move. So before he officially entered the field challenge, lanli began to learn for two weeks, from skills to exercise, from simulation to actual combat. Even though lanli's physical fitness is very suitable for challenging unarmed rock climbing, he tried surfing, bungee jumping, diving, mountaineering and downhill skiing, It laid a solid foundation for him.
But even so, after entering the real world of unarmed climbing, lanli still deeply felt his insignificance.
He is now standing on a cliff about 15 meters in the air, which is equivalent to the height of five stories. His time is almost twice as long as that of the middle-aged man, who is a Frenchman. He is one of the members of the club where he learned to climb unarmed. Today, five people from the whole club come here to climb unarmed.
Standing in mid air, the raging wind is constantly pounding over, and the insignificance of human beings is like a grain of dust under the contrast between the 300 meter high cliff and the endless horizon in front of us; Under the sole of the foot, the swift current is suffused with white spray, which smashes on the rocks of the river, arousing large areas of water mist. Under the reflection of the sun, there are two rainbows, which are wonderful.
But lanli knew that such a beautiful scenery was full of murders. As long as his fingers were a little loose, he might die here.
The rush and burst of adrenaline made the palms start to sweat. He was a little thirsty, and his thoughts about Paul, about burying alive, and about nightmares were shattered. He left all the shadows behind him, and focused all his attention on his fingertips. Then he stepped on the cliff with his left leg and made a sudden effort, and the whole person turned back like a cart, He raised his right hand high, accurately and forcefully grasped the bulge that he had been optimistic about as early as three minutes ago, and his whole body muscles tensed to the extreme, bursting out powerful energy.
This moment, the brain into absolute blank, he began to challenge the limit again.
