Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: A drone

A thousand meters high, with the naked eye is really difficult to see the situation on the ground.

Even if there is a rescue, Mallory can not do anything now.

Can only wait.

Waiting for the rescuers or investigators below to find this stone pillar, found this stone pillar on top of him.

I believe that as long as there are rescuers or investigators coming, it is impossible to ignore this stone pillar.

Wait for it.

...

The entire day passed and no helicopters or drones came by.

Mallory lay on the crumbling bed, his body getting weaker and weaker.

Long time without water to drink, his lips have dried and cracked, blooming with bloody mouths.

Long hours of hunger, so he could not keep his sanity fully awake.

Various hallucinations made him think from time to time that rescuers had come and saved him from the stone pillar and sent him back to the warmth of his home.

But the next moment was pulled back to the harsh reality.

Night, once again, had fallen.

As night fell once again, Mallory was once again ready to sleep when he thought he might sleep through this sleep and never wake up again.

If help doesn't come, he doesn't think he'll make it to dawn tomorrow.

But he still didn't have enough courage to leap off the edge of the bed.

He didn't want to give up his last hope yet.

This tragic plane crash is enough to shock the world, so many victims, can not just leave it here, right?

There will definitely be a rescue.

...

In a daze, Mallory started dreaming again.

He dreamed that there was an earthquake and he was trapped in the rubble, surrounded by unbearable darkness.

Suddenly a bright light shone through, stinging his eyes were a little open.

A few moments later, Mallory suddenly woke up.

There was indeed a white light in front of him!

There was also a buzzing sound.

After blocking the light with his hand and getting used to it a little, Mallory finally got a good look.

It was a drone!

A drone! The drone was shooting white light at him!

There was a gimbal under the drone, and a camera was fixed on the gimbal, and the camera's lens was pointing at Mallory.

"Hi! Hello! Can you see me? I ... me ..."

Mallory was so excited that he was a little incoherent after being convinced that it was not a dream.

The drone must have been manned by a human, and the fact that a drone flew to the top of Stonehenge meant that someone had found the pillar.

Now the drone also sent the image of him trapped on top of the stone pillar back to the manipulator, and after finding him trapped, a rescue could be sent!

His days of misery were finally coming to an end!

"You must have seen me, right? I'm trapped here, I don't know who got me here, thank you for calling the police for me so they can arrange for a helicopter to come and rescue me! Thank you so much!"

"By the way, my name is Mallory, and my SSN number is XXXXXXXXXXX ..."

Mallory tried to calm his emotions and gave a detailed description of his distress message to the drone.

The drone hovered in the air without moving, seemingly listening to Mallory's description.

After Mallory finished his description, the drone flew up and down in the air and stopped only after a while.

Then it hovered silently again not far in front of Mallory.

"What does that mean?"

"Help me pass on the distress message, will you?"

Mallory again sent a request to the drone.

The drone repeated the flip-flopping action just now, and then hovered again not far in front of Mallory.

"Just ... oh ... you do it again I'll see ..." Mallory seemed to see what was going on.

The drone's manipulator apparently heard what Mallory said and flipped through the air a third time.

"I see, you're drawing some numbers ... should be 4359, right?" Mallory made a guess based on the trajectory of the drone's flight.

The drone bobbed up and down for a while, then flew away, quickly disappearing into the night.

It looked like Mallory guessed correctly, so the owner of the drone made a nodding motion with the drone.

"How did it get away?"

"4359? Tell me what this number does? Is there any special implication?" Mallory was a little confused.

After the drone was gone, Mallory leaned over the bed and looked down at the stone pillar.

It was dark underneath the pillar.

The town was also dark after nightfall earlier, and Mallory thought it was because the town was so remote that there was no electricity yet.

Now that there had been a plane crash, if rescue workers had arrived, there would have been lights on the ground, right?

Why is it still pitch black?

The drone's range is limited, and its operator should be nearby not far away, so why is there no light at all?

The drone should have sent out his distress message, right?

Help should be arriving soon, right?

After sitting quietly in the dark for most of an hour, Mallory, who was incredibly weak, collapsed on the bed again.

If the drone wouldn't help him deliver the distress message, he couldn't do anything about it.

If the drone helps him deliver a distress message, there is really help coming, he lies or sits in fact, there is no difference.

It is better to sleep, and save some more energy to prepare for rescue.

So thirsty ...

So hungry ...

Go to sleep.

I don't know how much time has passed in the trance.

Mallory felt his legs suddenly drop in his sleep.

He subconsciously sat up, his body moved forward, and ended up with two feet on the ground!

Mallory couldn't help but feel happy.

Mallory couldn't help but feel happy. Was he back in his own bedroom?

The eyes were opened with great effort, and everything in front of him was indeed the scene of his own bedroom!

In a daze, Mallory stood up and took a step forward.

Is this the desk next to ... the bed?

There was his cell phone on it.

Mallory reached for his phone, but felt an empty hand.

It seems that ... is a bit far away, so it was empty.

Mallory subconsciously took another step forward.

But this step has not fallen when he suddenly felt something is not right.

A sudden struggle in consciousness, Mallory finally completely awake.

He realized that he was still on top of the stone pillar.

Just now two legs fell because the bed was smashed by the tail of the civilian airliner, he rolled in the bed when he unintentionally two legs fell to the broken part of the bed, and then stepped on the ground at the top of the stone pillar.

And now he, by taking a step forward, had reached the edge of the stone pillar.

The foot that he raised had reached the outside of the stone pillar!

If he had stepped out of the way, he would have stepped out of the way and fallen a thousand meters from the top of the pillar to pieces!

After Mallory figured out his current situation, he was so scared that his whole body jolted, and hurriedly retreated back to the bed and sat down.

This illusion is too harmful, right?

Almost waiting for help, but almost jumped in a daze!

If you fall to your death before help arrives, it's too wrong to die!

After returning to bed and lying down again, Mallory was a little afraid to sleep.

He was worried that after he fell asleep, he would not have that hallucination again.

However, in the darkness of the night, the incomparably weak Mallory lay down, not to say that you want to stay awake can not sleep.

Soon Mallory went back to sleep again ... or semi-conscious state.

This body can last until dawn tomorrow?

Can you wake up again tomorrow?

Help, will come?
