BXBX NOVEL Chapter 88 - Come True
Chapter 88: Come True
The leader nodded at the explanation.
“Alright, in that case, this matter is settled. Like what Bell said, send a rescue team.”
At the same time, on the deserted island, Victor and Hans had walked to the bottom of the smooth rock platform.
Touching the rock wall, the two of them could not help but feel a trace of nervousness.
Saying it was one thing, but doing it was another.
Although the two of them had mocked Bell earlier, they were still a little afraid when it was their turn.
Scarlett, who was standing beside Bell, couldn’t help but snort when she saw the two of them dawdling.
“Are the two of you doing it or not? Weren’t you quite awesome just now? You call yourselves experts and survivalists, so why are you afraid now?”
“That’s right. If you can’t do it, hurry up and apologize to Bell.”
Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman spoke sarcastically.
Keira Knightley said nothing.
With the situation developing to this point, it was no longer something that could be resolved with a simple apology.
Keira Knightley had already decided to contact the company behind her after this program was completed. These two people had slandered her reputation, and she had to make them pay the price.
The people beside Bell had different thoughts, but without exception, they all hated these two people.
The two people who were originally a little hesitant could not sit still when they heard this.
“Hmph, what’s so amazing about it? It’s just a rock platform. Let’s climb up and expose some people’s true colors.”
Bell stood aside and watched the show like his teammates, not planning to speak.
Seeing that Bell had not said a word, the two of them looked at each other and felt relieved.
Bell’s silence made the two of them think that it was because Bell was feeling guilty.
With this in mind, the two of them felt much more at ease.
As he spoke, they climbed up the wall.
Seeing the two of them begin to climb, everyone present held their breaths.
The cameras were all focused on them.
‘The climb began. Although the rock wall below was a little smooth, the two of them still climbed it methodically.
After all, although the surface was smooth, there were still some footholds.
Bell stood aside silently, but Scarlett Johansson was worried.
“Bell, can these two succeed?”
Although Bell had said that it was very difficult for these two to succeed, this concerned Bell’s future after all. Scarlett Johansson could not be at ease.
Bell shook his head.
It was not obvious from the current situation.
After all, the two of them had just begun.
It was not difficult to climb the rocks on the lower level.
However, the higher they went, the smoother the rocks would be. Moreover, the number of places they could use as footholds would decrease.
Further up were weathered rocks.
It was not yet time for the two of them to encounter trouble.
By the time the two of them climbed to about seven to eight meters, they would not be able to find a foothold, and their stamina would start to drain. At that time, the test would truly begin.
Victor and Hans had already overcome their initial hesitation.
The two of them realized that although this rock platform was smooth, it was not as dangerous as they had imagined. They were relieved.
“As expected, this Bell is just bluffing.”
“Looks like we were correct to take the gamble.”
Victor thought.
As the two of them adapted to the climb, they began to imagine the scene after the two of them climbed to the top.
Even the audience could not help but feel doubtful when they saw how easily Victor and Hans climbed.
“What’s going on? From the looks of it, this rock platform isn’t as difficult as Bell said.”
“Is it really like these two people said, that Bell’s previous actions were all scripted?”
Seeing the actions of Victor and Hans, even some of the people who had supported Bell before began to waver.
Natalie, Keira, Anne, and Scarlett were worried for Bell.
In this situation, if those two really climbed up, there was no way the issue of Bell’s show being staged could be cleared.
It would be almost impossible for Bell to continue in the wilderness survival field in the future.
But when they looked at Bell, they realized that his expression was different from their nervousness.
He was very calm as if the matter before him had nothing to do with him.
Scarlett couldn’t help but be speechless.
While everyone’s hearts were beginning to waver,
Victor and Hans did not have it as easy as the others thought.
Time passed slowly when someone suddenly realized something.
“What’s going on? Am I seeing things? Why do I feel like these two haven’t moved for a long time?”
“Me too. I feel like these two haven’t moved since they climbed to about eight to nine meters.”
“Look carefully, those two seem to be trembling.”
With the appearance of these comments, the comments that questioned Bell’s ability were quickly covered.
On the wall, Victor and Hans were feeling bitter.
The contempt in their hearts had completely disappeared.
The two of them realized that they were stuck when they reached this height. They were in a state of being unable to go up or down.
Moreover, because of the long period of using strength in their fingers and legs, their stamina was quickly dissipating.
The audience also saw the abnormality.
“What’s going on? Why aren’t the two of them climbing up?” Scarlett was puzzled.
“It’s not that they are not climbing up, but they can’t.” Bell said.
Hearing Bell’s words, everyone turned around with curiosity.
Bell did not keep the audience in suspense.
“Just now, I said that this rock platform is not easy to climb. The main reason is that the bottom part of this platform is too smooth. There is a small area to put force in, so it has a high requirement on the stamina of the rock climbers.”
“The smaller the friction area, the more stamina is needed to maintain stability.” Bell explained.
“Are you saying that these two are exhausted?” Keira asked.
Bell shook his head.
“No, it’s not just a matter of stamina. Because of the river that flowed here in the past, the two of them should be unable to find a foothold at their current spot. In addition, their stamina is insufficient to support a long distance jump on the rock wall.”
“If this goes on, the two of them will fall soon.”
