Chapter 23 Crouching Small Zombie Crouching Small Zombie Crouch

  The method has been thought of, but who will be the first to eat the crab? After all, this is just an idea, and what just passed was just something with no weight. What if it were a person weighing over 100 pounds? I dare not imagine, because there is only one chance, and failure means death.

  "It's a good thing I'm clever and prepared beforehand. Look at my invincible binding rope." I took out the backpack strap that I used during military training in school.

  "I'll tie him around my waist, then you guys hold me from behind, wait for me to jump a couple of times and really nothing will happen, then you let go, isn't this foolproof?" I said as I tied it around myself.

  "Sister's husband, how big is your waist?" Pengpeng asked.

  "Three feet." I saw their two big mouths open wide.

  "Brother-in-law, I think it's better for you to tie the rope around your wrist or ankle, that way you'll save some rope."

  "Wow! Are you insulting me?"

  "No, what I mean is that my sister is still at home waiting for you. What if something unexpected happens? I'm all alone, let me go."

  "No! You're the only son in your family, and you have to carry on the family line. If something happens to you, I won't be able to face your sister, let alone my parents-in-law!"

  "Alright, stop arguing, I'm the thinnest, let me go first. You two strong men better keep up in the back!"

  Indeed, the coffin is the thinnest among these three people. I believe that without a rope, I can lift it up with just one hand. But I'm also worried, if he arrives at the other side first, will he continue to wait for us there or leave by himself?

  "Be careful, this place can't be stopped, once stopped it will fall down." Although he was not at ease, but now he is the best candidate.

  The coffin stretched out its thumb, made preparations, and I and Pengpeng tightly grasped both ends of the rope. After all, we still had to leave some distance, otherwise it would be a bit of a loss if we were pulled back after just a few jumps.

  The coffin looked down at the endless dark below, took a long breath and shouted "Ah!" as he jumped out. We saw a miraculous scene - he didn't fall down, it seemed like there was something underneath supporting him, allowing him to have a fulcrum to jump forward again. Just like this, the coffin moved forward in front of us, advancing with the stiff jumping posture of a zombie from an old movie.

  When I was sure he had safely landed on the ground, I believed that this method was feasible. But what is the principle? Neither scientific nor superstitious explanations can explain it clearly. I really regret not studying hard when I was in school, otherwise I would have come up with a whole set of Newton's laws to calculate it.

  Peng didn't hesitate, and like a pig being slaughtered, he let out a loud cry as he rushed out, even doing a little run-up before jumping. Ha! Young people, always showing off. Maybe because his body was too fat, the load-bearing capacity of his legs had to be greater than usual, so towards the end of the distance, he was somewhat out of breath. After a slight pause, his entire body fell downwards, but fortunately, Coffin Hand was quick-eyed and grabbed hold of him just in time. Peng and I have about the same weight, looks like this is also one of my current problems to face.

  "Ahh!!" A mournful sigh echoed from behind me, I shone my flashlight backwards, but only saw the cold stairs. Pengpeng was shouting at me to come over from the other side, I turned around and adjusted my clothes, "Ahh!!" The voice sounded again, looking at Pengpeng who was close by, thinking that now there's only one lonely me left, my entire back felt a bit chilly.

  My mind had gone completely blank, I was just staring at the lights in front of me, I didn't even know if my feet were still moving, it all felt like mechanical movements, and the ground beneath my feet felt as hard as ordinary concrete. It wasn't until I lay on the solid steps, panting heavily, that I realized my legs had gone soft like a bundle of cotton, accompanied by a faint ache.

  "Brother-in-law, look at you rushing around like someone is chasing after you."

  "Really? Where's the coffin?" The coffin that was just beside him had vanished into thin air.
