Komatsu's Love Defense

A Lu and I quickly finished the food in our hands and continued to climb up along the winding vines. The surface of the vines was rough and tough. I held it tightly and moved up step by step. As the height increased, the air around us gradually became thinner, and even breathing became difficult.

My strength was constantly depleting, and every step seemed extremely heavy. Suddenly, my hand holding the vine slipped, and I lost my balance instantly. I was startled and subconsciously wanted to grab something, but there was nothing around me.

I felt myself falling rapidly, the wind howling in my ears, and the fear in my heart spread rapidly like a tide: "Help!"

At this moment, a strong hand suddenly grabbed my arm. I looked up and saw that A Lu was holding my hand tightly and pulling me back from the edge of the abyss.

A Lu frowned, his eyes showing worry and nervousness: "Are you okay, Xiaosong?"

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my pounding heart, and tried to control my panic. I calmed down and said, "It's...it's okay. Thank...thank you, Mr. Alu!"

A Lu didn't say anything, but just held on to the vine tightly and pulled me up, and I successfully returned to the relatively safe vine.

When my feet stepped on solid ground again, I felt the joy of surviving a catastrophe. My body was still shaking slightly, and I tried to stand up straight.

My heart was filled with gratitude: "Alu, thank you for saving me."

A Lu smiled and waved his hand: "You're welcome, Xiaosong. But we have to be more careful."

I nodded, caught my breath, and gripped the vine again. We continued our arduous climb, more cautiously this time.

Suddenly, there was a sharp cry in the sky. I looked up and saw a strange bird flying in the blue sky with its wings spread.

It has a relatively small head with sharp teeth and strong jaw muscles. Its body is streamlined and has two pairs of strong and thick wings, which are composed of membranes and skeletons. Connected to the body is a long fourth finger that supports the entire wing. The hind limbs are relatively simple, consisting of three toes.

(Note: The inspiration for the strange bird comes from pterosaurs, which is a general term for reptiles of the order Pterosauria of the class Saurischia. It is closely related to dinosaurs and crocodiles, and its name means winged lizard.

Pterosaurs are an extinct group of reptiles and vertebrates capable of flight.)

I couldn't help but exclaimed, with a heart full of shock and disbelief: "Mr. Alu, look, there's another strange bird!"

Hearing this, A Lu looked up, with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes: "You came just in time, let's use this thing for dinner tonight."

Not long after, A Lu captured the strange bird. He cleaned it skillfully and put it on the grill. The flames danced on the strange bird, emitting an alluring aroma.

The firelight shone on A'lu's face, softening his tough features. The meat of the strange bird gradually turned golden under the scorching flames, and the tempting aroma spread out, making people salivate.

The roasted bird meat was finally done, its skin was slightly browned, but the meat was still tender. A Lu handed the roasted bird meat to me, and we sat on the vines, holding the perfectly roasted bird meat in our hands, and tasting this rare delicacy together.

As night fell, the surrounding scenery became more mysterious and charming in the dimness. While enjoying the food, we also did not forget to appreciate the night scenery in front of us.

The stars in the sky twinkle, as if countless little eyes are watching us. The mountains in the distance are like

After a night of rest, Alu and I were ready to continue to the top of the endless vines. In the early morning light, we took firm steps and climbed up step by step along the vines. As we climbed higher and higher, the surrounding scenery gradually changed, as if we were in a fairyland isolated from the world.

When we climbed to an altitude of 3000 meters, the wind around us suddenly increased. The wind was howling, as if it was going to swallow us up. At this high altitude, the air became thinner, the oxygen content gradually decreased, and even the temperature seemed to drop. I couldn't help but feel a chill coming over me, and my breathing began to become a little rapid.

A Lu obviously also felt this change. He turned around and handed me the kettle and said, "Here, Xiaosong. Rehydrate yourself. The air in the high altitude is dry due to the reduction of water vapor. You must drink water frequently to prevent dehydration!"

I hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out to take the kettle that A Lu handed me. I carefully held the kettle in my palm, then gently pursed my lips and slowly swallowed the water in the kettle in small sips.

What a fool! Doesn't he know that in our 21st century, people have a special meaning for sharing a water bottle? Isn't drinking water like this equivalent to indirect kissing?

When I thought of this, my cheeks couldn't help but flush with shyness, and my heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably.

After drinking the water, I handed the canteen back to Alu. We continued to climb up along the vines, taking every step with extreme caution, fearing that we would fall if we were not steady.

As we gradually climbed, the atmosphere around us began to change. The originally moist air was gradually replaced by dryness, and even breathing became a little difficult. I looked up and saw large patches of white clouds in the sky. They floated lightly, but they seemed to silently remind us that the altitude here was getting higher and higher.

Gradually, I felt the oxygen levels drop. Each breath became heavy and difficult, as if my lungs could not fully expand and take in enough oxygen. I began to feel dizzy and my heartbeat accelerated.

This was altitude sickness, so I quickly took out the prepared oxygen bottle from my backpack, carefully opened the valve, and replenished the oxygen. The cold oxygen flowed into my lungs, bringing a brief relief.

Where we are right now is: about 5000 meters in the sky.
