The scorching August sun shrouded Europe, and even the air was filled with the scorching heat, as if staying under the scorching sun for a while would be enough to melt everything. But even so, there is still nothing to stop people's enthusiasm for vacation.

As the most lively holiday season of the year, people from all over the European continent began to flock to the resort to enjoy this rare holiday. Ibiza, Corsica, Santorini, Morocco... Every sunny place has become a European destination, bustling on the beach, relaxing, sunbathing, Cocktails and sea water to fill every day of your holiday.

The Verdon Gorge, located in Provence in southern France, is also one of the most famous resorts. It not only has the world-famous rosé wine, but also the purple lavender fields that bloom in July, as well as the enchanting Lake Sainte-Croix. It is said that the southern cuisine that constitutes an irreplaceable part of French cuisine. The Germans, the British, the Swedes, etc., they took the long and hard drive to get here, grabbing the last tail of summer, and enjoying themselves.

However, the Verdon Gorge is twelve miles long, and the sections where the water is gentle are noisy, and the sections where the water is fast are majestic and steep, the sound of the rushing water bursts with thunder in the sun, and the dark brown cliffs cover the continuous The green vegetation, towering into the clouds, silent, rocks and abyss, wild and barren, green water and rainbow shadows, blue sky and goshawks... It is like a paradise-like tranquility, and the sound of the wind carries the air in the depths of the canyon. , the heat of midsummer dissipated in an instant.

"How are you?"

A hoarse sound echoed over the river channel of the canyon, and it was swallowed up by the raging waves in a blink of an eye. If you look closer, you can see a middle-aged man with a ponytail, wearing loose shorts, naked/naked The upper body, showing strong muscles, hung a small black cloth bag on the waist, the mouth of the bag was covered with white anti-slip powder, and there was nothing else, hanging empty on the steep wall of the cliff - he His hands were relaxed and stretched out, respectively grabbing two small bumps. His feet did not step on any support, just like an eagle, hanging in the air, at least 30 meters above the ground. , the whole body is maintained only by the strength of the fingers.

Such a picture, just pictured in my mind, is enough to scare a cold sweat, it is hard to imagine that as long as he is not careful, or his palms are sweaty, or his fingertips are loose, then he will fall directly in a free fall. Go down, and then turn into a bloody corpse.

But now, he is incredibly relaxed, smiling, and even has the mind to gossip!

"Ha. It's fine."

About fifteen 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 high crack in the rock above. Then the whole body opened up, and the violent wind whistled past, he slammed back like an open window, his back hit the cliff firmly, and some trivial rock fragments fell down, as if his right hand The support points of his hands and feet are already in jeopardy, but he looks relaxed and comfortable, standing on a high place looking at the green and blue horizon in the distance, the gloom and entanglement between his eyebrows are slightly stretched.

The combination of black shorts and a white t-shirt, and a bag of non-slip powder on the waist, but compared to the middle-aged man, there is also a bright yellow climbing rope tied to the waist, but the rope is not as people think It fell from above, but extended from the waist down. On the ground, you can also see a large bundle of climbing ropes coiled. Obviously, this rope is not an auxiliary tool for climbing, but a protective measure, which is still used when descending. Quick tool.

But even so, it still makes people see the palms sweating and the heart skipping a beat.

He raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man diagonally above, "If I say, I'm thinking about life, do you believe it?"

This ridicule made the middle-aged man laugh out loud, "Then you have chosen a wonderful place, I think you have great taste." The man nodded towards the young man below, "Good luck!"

After he finished speaking, he saw the man use his hands, and his whole body hung upside down. Then his feet touched the rock. After groping for a while, he stepped on a leverage point, and when his left hand was released, his whole body was hanging in the air. One lap, just as 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 swiped up and grabbed another small bump.

He was not in a hurry to continue to exert force, but carefully groped for a while. After confirming that the strength of his left hand was accurate, he adjusted his breathing and began to climb up step by step, like a gecko, without any equipment. Without any protection, completely free climbing, agile and light, integrated with the wind, the rocks and the sky.

Ren Li was a little taken aback, and there was a hint of envy and yearning in his eyes.

His ultimate goal is also to do rock climbing without any equipment, just with a bag of anti-skid powder, and climb the cliff directly. Of course, as a beginner, he still has a lot of things to learn. Compared with top rope climbing, freehand rock climbing is not only more dangerous and exciting, but also has an overall increase in physical performance requirements. Then there is no chance of recovery.

This is only the third time Renly has attempted physical rock climbing. Although he does not use any tools to climb up, he still carries climbing ropes, quick hangs and clips with him. Fasten the clip to ensure that the protection measures can be used after you fall by mistake

Save his life.

It has been three weeks since the "Buried Alive" was completed. The film was completed six days earlier than expected. It took only eight days to complete all the shooting in the studio. After that, Rodrigo will complete the dubbing performance. Shooting, and then into the post-editing stage.

For the last three days of filming, Renly tried to re-enter that feeling of being on the edge of being out of control and controlling, but he failed. He never felt it again. The feeling of being out of control that went crazy continued to the end, supporting the All his performances. However, for Renly, the film is over, but his role is still not over.

He is always immersed in Paul Conroy's world, the only difference from the movie is that he survived, but things are not so simple, after experiencing the fear of being buried alive, after experiencing the threat of the death scythe, experiencing After the trauma of being abandoned by the government/government and the company, even if she survives, her soul is still riddled with holes. In many cases, physical wounds can be healed immediately, but mental wounds will remain for a long time.

It's like Eugene Sledge from "War in the Pacific." What Renly was most curious about was that Eugene's faith and soul had been shattered, so how did he return to a normal life after that? Now, he's going through it all as "Paul".

He has come to his senses, can distinguish between fantasy and reality, and understands that he is Renly and not Paul, but the mental trauma is deeply lingering in his mind, as if he himself experienced a buried death. It was like escaping here, giving him the illusion of schizophrenia.

To make matters worse, his sleep quality still hasn't improved much. You know, sleep is a more satisfying cure for him than food and desserts. But now, the nightmare is still lingering. After finishing the process, he was having the same dream, and he returned to the coffin again and was about to be buried alive. Every dream is similar, every fear and despair are not relieved.

He knows that this is called getting too deep into the play.

But he had no idea that he, who was sent from a traditional academy, would fall into such an embarrassing situation one day. If the school teacher knew about it, he would probably severely criticize him for his unscrupulous work.

For the first time, he was a complete rookie and didn't know what to do with himself. Looking for a psychiatrist didn't seem like the right choice. So, after leaving Barcelona, ​​Renly came to the Verdon Gorge. Start learning and truly plunge into the world of free climbing.

Freehand rock climbing is a sport that challenges one's own limits, but it is not an act of "seeking death", so before officially entering the field challenge, Renly started a two-week study, from skills to exercise, from simulation to actual combat, Even though Renly's physical fitness is very suitable for challenging free climbing, his previous attempts at surfing, bungee jumping, diving, mountaineering, and downhill skiing have laid a solid foundation for him.

But even so, after entering the world of true free-hand climbing, Renly felt a deep sense of his insignificance.

He is now standing in mid-air on a cliff of about fifteen meters, which is equivalent to the height of a five-story building, and he spends almost twice as long as the middle-aged man - a Frenchman, one of the members of the club where he learned free climbing One, five people from the entire club came here for free rock climbing today.

Standing in mid-air, the raging wind continued to blow over, and the insignificance of human beings was like a speck of dust compared to the 300-meter-high cliff and the endless horizon in front of me; It slammed hard on the rocks of the river, causing a large area of ​​water mist, and two rainbows appeared under the reflection of the sun, which was amazing.

But Renly knew that such a beautiful view was full of murderous intent, and that if he loosened his fingers a little, he might have died there.

The rush of adrenaline and the burst of adrenaline made his palms start to sweat, and his mouth was a little dry. The thoughts in his brain about Paul, about being buried alive, and about nightmares were shattered. He left all the shadows behind him and concentrated all his attention. The force was on his fingertips, and then his left leg stepped on the cliff with a sudden force, the whole person turned back like a powerful car, raised his right hand high, and caught it accurately and powerfully as early as three minutes ago. Just looking at the bulge, the muscles all over the body were tense to the extreme, and a powerful energy burst out.

At this moment, his brain fell into absolute blankness, and he was about to start challenging the limit again.
