Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 605 The Second S-Level Action Scene
The rope around the waist was tightened again, holding Lin Yuan's waist tightly.

This time, his downward trend finally stopped.

"Huff~Huff~" Charlize's heavy breathing sound came above Lin Yuan's head.

Apparently, the sudden fall just now scared her.

"Don't worry, we are stable." Lin Yuan looked up and comforted.

Charlize didn't answer, her face pale, and she nodded in response.

The huge force when Lin Yuan fell just now acted on Charlize's body, making her unable to hold on at all, so she was pulled down with Lin Yuan's safety rope.

Fortunately, the three-point fixed safety buckle was strong enough to immediately hold the safety harness on her body tightly and provide stable support.

It's just that the situation is a bit awkward now:
The carabiner was connected to a climbing rope, hanging Charlize in mid-air.

The safety rope around Charlize's waist was connected to Lin Yuan, so that he was also hanging in the air.

The current situation of the two people is really like grasshoppers on the same rope.

"Hahaha, you scared me. Fortunately, we are fine." Charlize patted her chest and said with lingering fear.

After all, falling from such a high ice wall would make even moviegoers’ hearts skip a beat, let alone those who experience it in person.

"The ice bolt has great support strength. It can carry the weight of both of us without any problems," said Lin Yuan.

"...Shut up!" Charlize said that it is best not to talk nonsense in this situation.

"Lin Yuan, are you guys okay?" Meng Tao's anxious voice came from the headset.

"There is no big problem for now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future." Lin Yuan replied.

At this time they were still hanging in the air. They could not be said to be out of danger until they returned to the ice wall.

"Why did you fall suddenly?" Meng Tao asked.

"To be honest, I don't know either. Suddenly, a lot of broken ice fell on my head, and then the place where my ice pick was inserted also collapsed and cracked." Lin Yuan replied helplessly.

"You must hurry..."

Meng Tao was interrupted by a sudden gust of wind just as he was halfway through his words.

"Whoo~"

"Whoo~"

The rope began to sway in the howling wind.

The rope from the safety buckle to Charlize is about 2 meters long, and the rope from Charlize's safety harness to Lin Yuan's waist is 5 meters long.

The ropes of the two people combined were about three stories high.

At this moment, they were 126 meters above the ground, and the rope was swinging back and forth like a pendulum under the pull of the strong wind.

"Lin Yuan! What should we do now?" Charlize shouted loudly.

Even though she was hanging in the air and swinging violently, she was not too frightened, but calmly thought about how to save herself.

"Wait a minute, I'll think of a solution." Lin Yuan responded.

It was indeed quite difficult. They had already climbed a long way out along this chamfered ice wall.

This means that when they fall, it is like a safety rope hanging from an overhanging branch, and there is a considerable distance between them and the tree trunk, which is the originally vertical ice wall.

Therefore, they could not reach the previous vertical ice wall. If they wanted to regain a grip, they could only climb towards the ice wall directly above their heads where the safety buckle was fixed.

But this was obviously difficult to do, because Charlize had Lin Yuan hanging under her, and she didn't have the strength to support the climb up with the weight of two people.

The wind was blowing even harder at this time, and the two people on the rope began to swing back and forth with a larger distance.

Bits of ice kept falling on Charlize's helmet.

Now, she began to get anxious: "Lin Yuan, the rope is pulling us so hard that the force exerted by the rope is too great. It seems that the ice bolts are falling off the ice wall where they are locked into it!"

It’s not her fault that she is anxious, but the current situation is indeed a bit dangerous.

If they were just suspended in mid-air, the support provided by the ice bolts should be no problem.

But if they keep swinging back and forth like this, constantly exerting pulling force, then it’s hard to say.

The ice chips falling at this moment mean that the threads of the ice bolts driven into the ice wall are beginning to be unable to bear the weight.

"Wait a minute, we'll climb back to the top of the ice wall as soon as possible." Lin Yuan wrapped his legs around the rope and was about to climb up using his hands and feet.

"You wanna climb up?" Charlize asked.

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "You can't pull me up, so let me climb."

"But it's just a single rope and it shakes so much, how are you going to climb it?" Charlize asked anxiously.

"I know it's not easy, let me try." Lin Yuan said.

It is not easy to climb with this thin safety rope.

In fact, Lin Yuan had faced this kind of single rope a few days ago.

That was the first difficult hurdle he encountered when he entered the Kalonos Cave to rescue Meng Tao, the "Abyss".

There is also this kind of single rope, which is a climbing technique that relies on only one rope to ascend or descend in outdoor sports without the help of any support during the process. It is called SRT single rope technique.

If you climb with your bare hands without the aid of a chest ascender or footrests, you must hold the rope tightly with both hands and wrap your feet around the rope to provide a support force so that you can climb up.

Every time you rise about ten to twenty centimeters, you need to wrap your feet around the rope again, then use your arms to pull upwards, alternating and repeating.

This type of climbing is very physically demanding and an average man would be exhausted after climbing just a few meters.

Not to mention that they are now on a plateau snow-capped mountain at an altitude of more than 5500 meters, the temperature is minus 50 degrees Celsius, and the oxygen content is only 60% of that in the plains.

What is even more despairing is that the single rope used for climbing was swinging violently back and forth in the level 9 gale, making it impossible to exert any strength at all.

Lin Yuan certainly knew that this was difficult. At this moment, he was swaying around in a disorderly manner in the strong wind.

Yes, the rope did not swing back and forth regularly, but swayed randomly left and right, forward and backward.

The wind on the snow-capped mountains does not have a fixed direction, but blows back from all directions.

Under such conditions, it is quite difficult to hold on to the rope and not be thrown away, let alone climb it.

Lin Yuan wrapped the rope around his legs and calmly felt the ever-changing wind direction.

At this moment, he was being thrown towards the south by the end of the rope. A strong wind blew back from the west, causing his direction to suddenly change and head towards the southwest.

The strong wind was so powerful that it temporarily suppressed the airflow from other directions.

It's a great opportunity to climb!
Lin Yuan was seen exerting force with his legs wrapped in the rope, and at the same time, he used his hands to pull his body upwards.

He was very strong. With his right hand alone, he pulled his entire body up more than 20 centimeters. Then he used his left hand to pull his body up another 20 centimeters.

After exerting force with both hands, he immediately wrapped his legs around the rope again, providing a new support point under his feet.

Otherwise, he would not be able to stay stable on the rope swaying in the strong wind just by pulling with his hands.

Seeing that Lin Yuan climbed such a long distance in one go, Charlize was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

She has also practiced this single-rope climbing technique without props.

Whether it is her instructor or herself, being able to rise 10 to 20 centimeters at a time is already quite impressive.

But Lin Yuan rose 50 centimeters in one go. So it only took five or six more times for Lin Yuan to be by her side.

At that time, Lin Yuan could pull her climbing rope and continue to climb up, back to the top of the ice wall, and they would be out of danger.

"Lin Yuan! Here."

Charlize stretched out her hand and waited for Lin Yuan to hold her hand.

Lin Yuan smiled and swayed in the strong wind, seizing opportunities from time to time to climb up a little.

Soon he climbed up more than one meter and was about to reach Charlize.

If he just went up one more time, he would be able to get Charlize's hand.

Just as Lin Yuan was pulling his body upwards again, the entire rope suddenly sank downwards!
Lin Yuan, who was completely unprepared, suddenly slid down a long way.

A large amount of ice chips fell on his face.

what's the situation?
Is it that the ice bolt has been pulled out of the ice wall and is about to fall off?
Lin Yuan looked up, but could not see what was happening above him. He only felt broken ice chips falling continuously.

"Lin Yuan, hurry up!" Charlize above obviously also felt the situation, and she shouted anxiously.

Faced with this situation, Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "It's too late."

"Why is it too late? Hurry up!" Charlize's eyes turned red with anxiety.

"It's really too late." Lin Yuan replied.

If the ice bolts can no longer bear the weight, they will fall off faster and faster.

He was still some distance away from Charlize. Even if he climbed to Charlize's side, he would still need to continue climbing until he reached the ice wall to be completely out of danger.

It's definitely too late to cover such a long distance.

Before he could reach the ice wall, the ice bolts would fall off because they could not withstand the force.

If that happens, he and Charlize will be doomed together.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Didn't you say before that you would never show mercy? Now it's time for you to cut the safety rope between us."

They always joked before, Lin Yuan said, "If there is danger, it's up to you, don't cut my safety rope."

Charlize always said stubbornly that she would not show any mercy in cutting the safety rope.

"No!" Charlize shouted immediately, "Don't even think about it! I will never cut the rope."

"Be obedient, the ice bolt is about to fall off. It can't support the weight of the two of us." Lin Yuan said.

"No! There must be another way!" Charlize said firmly.

At an altitude of nearly 130 meters, the midday sun shone on her face.

The sunlight at high altitude is exceptionally bright, setting off her red eyes and slightly tired face. This kind of broken beauty in desperate situation appears exceptionally strong.

I have to say, Charlize was absolutely stunning at this moment.

"Charlize, you are so beautiful!" Lin Yuan said.

"Shut up! Even if I die, I want to die with you. Don't try to trick me into cutting the safety rope!" Charlize's eyes became even redder.

"Don't cry, who said I will die if I cut the rope?" Lin Yuan said.

Charlize: “???”

Is it not?
If the safety rope tied around his waist was cut, wouldn't Lin Yuan fall down immediately?
If you fall from such a high place, even a man made of iron will be smashed to pieces. How can you survive?

Seeing Charlize's unconvinced look, Lin Yuan raised his right hand and asked, "Look, what is this?"

"Ice pick?"

I saw that the ice axe used for climbing was tied firmly to Lin Yuan's arm by a rope.

"Why does your ice axe have a rope?" Charlize asked.

"Gakki helped me modify it yesterday and added a rope about 2 meters long."

As Lin Yuan spoke, he quickly untied the rope wrapped around his arm.

"When the wind carries me towards the ice wall, I will cut the safety rope and swing towards the ice wall by inertia. As long as I can swing within 2 meters of the ice wall, I will throw the ice axe. With the tension of the rope, I can stabilize my body, so you don't have to worry." Lin Yuan said.

Charlize: (_)
So you had a plan? And you still cheated on me?!
But why does this plan sound so outrageous?
Is it really possible to stop your fall by throwing the ice axe and pulling the rope?
Charlize didn't understand, but Lin Yuan was full of confidence.

He is the man who can throw a throwing knife 60 meters away and accurately hit the target on a rainy night. Is he worried that an ice pick thrown within 2 meters will not penetrate deeply into the ice wall and provide a stable support for the body?
Lin Yuan's left hand reached for his boots. On the outer buckle of the boots was his specially made throwing knife.

He took the throwing knife in his hand, ready to find the right opportunity to cut the safety rope and ensure Charlize's temporary safety.

Wait until he climbs up again and then rescue Charlize.

But at this moment, the ice above his head began to fall down continuously.

It's smashing, not dropping.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The egg-sized ice cube hit Lin Yuan's helmet with a dull thud, which also made him a little dazed.
Could an ice bolt falling off cause such a large chunk of ice to fall?

"Lin Yuan! The ice cube fell!"

Meng Tao's frantic shouts came from the headphones.

"I know! Of course I know that the ice fell and hit my helmet. How could I not know!" Lin Yuan replied unhappily.

What you are saying is just nonsense. If you can't help at this time, just stop talking!
"I mean the whole ice block is going to fall!" Meng Tao's cry came again through the headset.

"The whole block of ice?" Lin Yuan finally realized that something was wrong.

Isn’t it as simple as a few ice cubes falling on your head?
What does the whole ice cube mean?
"I mean, the entire outer layer of ice on the ice wall is about to collapse!" Meng Tao's loud voice came from the headset.

"Everyone, run outside quickly. Be careful not to get hit by falling ice." Director Cohen's voice came from the headphones.

"Crack!"

"Stab!"

At the same time, a creepy sound of ice breaking came from above Lin Yuan's head.

Along with the sound, Lin Yuan and Charlize were continuing to fall down.

"Lin Yuan!" Charlize shouted anxiously.

"Hold on tight to my safety rope!" Lin Yuan responded loudly.

Charlize didn't know why Lin Yuan asked her to hold on to the safety rope. Wasn't he about to cut it?
But she did it without hesitation.

At this moment, the only person she could completely rely on and trust was Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan held the ice axe and safety rope tightly in his right hand, and held the throwing knife tightly in his left hand, waiting for the best moment to come.

At this moment, he finally understood what was happening:
It's not that the ice bolt is about to fall off, but the entire outer layer of the ice wall that the ice bolt is driven into is about to fall off!

It was so terrifying that Lin Yuan couldn't even imagine how earth-shattering it would be if the outer layer of such a large area of ​​ice wall fell off as a whole.

Can Charlize and I really find a way out in such a situation?

Recalling the broken ice areas encountered along the way during the climb, those that caused Charlize to fall the first time, and the brittle ice that forced him to take a detour when he climbed the outer chamfer area alone, all came to his mind at this moment.

These fragile ice layers seem to have been frozen for a short time, so they appear particularly fragile.

When the layers of ice stacked up like shale were brought to mind again, a thought suddenly flashed through Lin Yuan's mind:

The heavy rain a few days ago!
Then everything can be explained.

The heavy rain a few days ago not only increased the water content of the snow in the snow-covered areas, but also triggered several avalanches.

A large amount of rain was also poured onto the ice wall.

On such a cold ice wall, rainwater will inevitably freeze into ice immediately, which is the origin of the brittle ice layer on the ice wall.

At the outer chamfer of the ice wall, a large amount of rainwater flows down the ice wall.

Because the climate is cold enough and the angle is not large enough, there are no icicles hanging under the eaves, but layers of broken ice like shale.

If given more time, these broken ice layers will slowly freeze solid, and the slight moisture in the air can also slowly solidify the ice layer.

But the crew of "King of Spy 2" arrived too hastily, and this fragile balance was immediately broken.

There is no need to know the specific reason. The reality at the moment is that these layers of broken ice are about to peel off from the ice wall and collapse as a whole!
Lin Yuan looked up. If the outer layer of such a large ice wall collapsed, the volume would be at least hundreds of thousands of cubic meters, right?

He was almost buried by an avalanche yesterday, and today he was hanging in the air again, about to endure an equally earth-shattering "ice avalanche"!
Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "How can it not be like this? I'm just a tiny human being, I can't bear such a strong pounding!"
"Crack!"

"Fuck!"

The sound of breaking ice continued to echo at the source of the forest, like the footsteps of death approaching step by step.

Lin Yuan held the ice pick and throwing knife tightly in his hands. Whether he and Charlize could be saved depended on the next few seconds.

The wind finally changed direction, carrying them towards the vertical ice wall.

Thank God!

Lin Yuan decisively swung his left hand, and a cold knife shot out from his hand.

The flying knife flew straight towards the safety rope between Charlize and the safety buckle.

"Stab!"

The powerful force drove the sharp flying knife, instantly cutting off the safety rope that had been holding Charlize tightly, and she screamed and began to fall.

At the same time, the entire ice wall above Charlize's head collapsed like an iceberg breaking on the sea. An entire boundless huge layer of ice collapsed with a roar.

This is why when Lin Yuan threw the flying knife, his target was not the safety rope between him and Charlize, but the climbing rope between Charlize and the fixed buckle.

If the climbing rope is not cut, when the entire ice layer collapses, the ice bolts on the ice layer will drive the climbing rope and pull Charlize to the ground.

After cutting the climbing rope, the two men swung freely towards the vertical ice wall like wild horses.

The two people slid down at an angle of 70 degrees to the ice wall.

The sound of violent air currents while falling whistled in Lin Yuan's ears, but he ignored it and instead carefully calculated the distance between him and the ice wall.

He only had one chance to shoot, and not only had to shoot from the right distance, but he also had to get the ice pick to hit the right spot.

The flow of time slowed down in front of Lin Yuan's eyes.

This is not really slowing down, but his self-perception of slowing down due to his master-level time management skills.

Finally, after falling more than 20 meters, the most appropriate opportunity finally arrived.

Lin Yuan acted decisively. He used all his strength to throw the ice pick in his hand.

I saw the black ice pick shoot out and pierce the ice wall at an unimaginable speed.

"Crack!"

Along with the sound of ice breaking, the entire ice pick was inserted into the ice wall, locking it tightly.

Lin Yuan held the special rope connected to the ice axe tightly with his right hand. This was truly the life-saving straw for him and Charlize.

A huge force came, and his right hand tightened suddenly. He felt a strong impact, and the rope was instantly tightened, which reduced the impact of Lin Yuan's fall.

"Boom!"

The next moment, under the influence of inertia, his body hit the ice wall heavily.

It felt like banging your head against a concrete wall, leaving you dizzy and disoriented.

But his feet instinctively pushed forward, and the crampons on his feet firmly grasped the ice wall.

Lin Yuan, who had stabilized his body on the ice wall again, did not relax immediately, but instead held the safety rope around his waist tightly with his left hand.

His left hand immediately felt the safety rope in his hand being pulled down suddenly, and then it immediately became tight.

Charlize, who was hanging on the other end of the safety rope, finally stabilized herself and regained her footing on the ice wall below Lin Yuan.

"Stay close to the ice wall and don't look up!" Lin Yuan shouted down.

Charlize, still in shock, instinctively did as she was told.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

Unimaginable amounts of ice, large expanses of it, collapsed downward, roaring down behind them.

"Boom!"

"Oh!"

"Crack!"

There came a series of continuous sounds of ice falling and breaking from the ground.

Charlize turned her head and looked down, only to see that the ground was covered with piles of spiky broken ice, which was probably three or four meters high when piled together.

How much broken ice collapsed to form such a thick layer?
"Lin Yuan! Lin Yuan! Are you okay?" Meng Tao's anxious voice came from the headset.

"Luckily, Charlize and I are fine." Lin Yuan replied.

"Do you still want to continue climbing the big ice wall?" Meng Tao asked.

"Is the filming still going on?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Of course! You don't know what an amazing scene we captured just now! Lin Yuan! I estimate that the ice avalanche this time is at least one million cubic meters! Such a shocking scene, combined with your performance just now, the visual impact it presents is not inferior to the scene you performed in the Canadian wildfires." Meng Tao replied.

"Ice and fire." Lin Yuan said.

"I feel like you're talking about something very shocking." Meng Tao protested.

Lin Yuan ignored his protests and said, "Then let's continue filming. We'll continue climbing and try to finish this scene in one go."

"Okay, I hope you can hold on." Meng Tao replied.

Lin Yuan turned his head and looked down: "Charlize, can you still crawl?"

"Yeah! I feel like it might be the adrenaline rushing in, and I'm full of energy at the moment," Charlize replied.

"Then let's hurry up."

Lin Yuan and Charlize took out spare tools from their backpacks and continued to climb up one after the other.

The fall just now caused them to drop from a vertical height of 120 meters to 93 meters.

The collapsed ice layer is mainly in the outer chamfer area, and there is basically no vertical ice wall part.

So Lin Yuan and Charlize found the location where the ice bolts had been set and quickly climbed up.

This time they climbed faster and soon returned to the outer chamfer area.

When the entire ice layer collapsed, the remaining ice wall became stronger.

Lin Yuan quickly installed the ice bolts, then used a safety rope to pull Charlize, who was somewhat exhausted, and finally passed the most dangerous area.

Going further up, there is only less than 20 meters of vertical climbing area.

Lin Yuan and Charlize spent another 20 minutes, a total of 2 hours and 24 minutes, and finally climbed to the top of the ice wall.

The moment they reached the top of the ice wall, Charlize excitedly hugged Lin Yuan and kissed him passionately.

In such a cold place, the only way to kiss is to pull down the thermal mask and give a quick symbolic kiss.

Never wet kiss because your tongues will stick together.

If that were the case, it would be embarrassing.

While kissing, a line of golden words appeared in front of Lin Yuan:
[Host completes S-level dangerous action scene, and obtains distributable attributes: 45 points.]
