Chapter 335 Earthquake. Extreme Rescue 1

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when the earthquake struck. Although it got dark late due to the extreme heat, it was now close to nine o'clock and it was already pitch black outside.

Niu Li mobilized the entire base to move all the usable generators and high-power searchlights to illuminate the area around the hospital building.

But the light was limited after all, and it was difficult to see the situation below the ground crack. And there was a deep abyss below, and even if they were not smashed into a pulp by the protruding rocks, they would be bloody and dead. This was why Niu Li did not find anyone alive at the first time.

As the first person screamed, more people saw the swaying figure, but the joint defense team members who were concentrating on maintaining vigilance did not notice it. But when they crawled on the edge of the crack and observed carefully, they saw it more clearly than the people.

Sure enough, there are survivors, and more than one!!!

Many brave people passed through the cordon and used their flashlights and cell phones to illuminate the area below. Niu Li wanted the joint defense team members to stop them, but was stopped by Bai Ruoyu.

This is a disaster for all mankind. The government and the joint defense team alone cannot win. Only when everyone unites as one can we overcome the difficulties together.

The persistence of Wang Guan and the two team members just now made everyone see the responsibility of the soldiers. The five selfish people aroused everyone's desire to protect the joint defense team members, and the mother's final leap completely awakened their numb hearts.

The government has not given up on the people. There are still so many people who are silently persevering. If you don’t want to be killed by stupid and selfish people, you must get closer to the government and unite.

"Turn the main light downwards." Niu Li ordered.

The searchlight on the large crane slowly tilted downward, and the light swept across the cracked stone wall bit by bit.

Wang Guan and the other two were taken off the pontoon. Fortunately, they were connected to the building by ropes. Although the ropes broke due to the great inertia, they still provided a buffer for the three of them.

Guosheng and the older woman fell on a protruding stone and were already unconscious. Ah Si was caught by Wang Guan's straps and was also in a semi-conscious state. Wang Guan inserted the dagger into the crack of the stone to stop the two people from falling, and found a protruding stone with his right foot to borrow some strength.

In addition to the three of them, three people on the opposite side also took the opportunity to grab the ropes of the broken bridge and wandered in the darkness, including Da Liu, who also clamped a little girl with his feet.

As the lights moved down, the survivors gradually appeared in everyone's sight. Niu Li was delighted, but was also struggling with how to rescue them.

Their locations were relatively scattered and deep. The closest ones were Liu Da and his group who were holding onto the rope, and they were more than thirty meters away.

The rope of the floating bridge was folded in half twice before it was fixed. When it was fully opened, it was more than fifty meters long. They grabbed the lower half, and fortunately it was so long that they had a chance to grab it.

The second farthest is Guosheng, at a depth of about 50 meters. At the bottom are Wang Guan and A Si, and almost no people can be seen.

There was no time to hesitate. No one knew how long they could hold on. Niu Li ordered to rescue Xiao Liu and Wang Guan first. Guosheng's side was relatively stable.

…

Chu An did not see the thrilling scene just now, nor did he know who fell down. Since the other side had already started the rescue, he prepared to squeeze back.

"Wang Guan, Da Liu, can you hear me? Please report your situation."

Xiao Jiang crawled on the ground and shouted into a loudspeaker.

After a long time, Liu Da's weak voice was heard, "There are four survivors, one is unconscious, and three are awake. Please... rescue them quickly."

There was no other sound.

Xiao Jiang looked back at Niu Li, and Niu Li nodded.

Beside them, Huo Wang, Sun Qi and four other soldiers were putting on rescue equipment.

"Be sure to pay attention to safety." Niu Li reminded.

Huo Wang and Sun Qi were the ones she brought into the joint defense team. They were also her former colleagues in the police station, so naturally they had a special relationship.

"Make sure the mission is accomplished."

The six men saluted and began to descend along the crack with the help of other team members. The hang glider team also took off, as the base hospital sank nearly 2 meters, giving them room to leap.

When Chu An heard Wang Guan’s name, he retracted his steps.

She didn't have many interactions with Wang Guan, but she was helped twice. She also saw his spirit and conscience. People like him should live.

"Ouch." Chu An pretended to be hit by someone behind him, stumbled and rolled down the stairs, and then pretended to fall to the ground.

The person behind me???

She didn't mean to frame him. It was impossible for her to get past two angry-eyed joint defense team members, and she couldn't just say she wanted to save people.

How could a little girl have the ability to save people? Who would believe it? Moreover, she did not dare to guarantee that she could save people 100%, so she had to find a chance to see what was going on.

Sure enough, the scene she performed earned her forgiveness from the gun-wielding team members, and one of them even asked her if she was okay.

Chu An rubbed his waist and stood up, shaking his head and said, "It's okay, but I need to slow down. Don't worry, I won't move around, I won't cause trouble for you, and I won't be confused about right and wrong and hurt the people who saved us... You, I understand everything, I know my limits."

She has a mouth and she should say what she needs to say.

The two members of the joint defense team also felt warmed at heart, and seeing that she really did not move, they let her slow down by herself, after all, she was just rolling down the stairs.

The other six hang glider team members naturally heard her words. The captain looked at her a few more times and quickly changed their equipment. Three of them reconnected to the pontoon, and the captain helped the other two check their equipment and prepare to go down to search for survivors.

"Um...wait a minute." Chu An sat on the steps and tried not to speak abruptly, "If you want to go down to rescue people, you have to wear a gas mask."

The team member who was about to go down turned his head to look at her.

"Ahem... my family has been practicing medicine for three generations. My grandfather once said that after a great disaster there would be a great epidemic. Now, according to observations, the epidemic came from underground. There may be poisonous gas underneath."

After saying this, she looked across guiltily. She had tried her best to make up the story.

"It's okay if you don't have a gas mask. I have a poison bag made by my grandfather. You can put it on your body."

As she spoke, she took out a few packets of spicy insect repellent powder from her little bee backpack and couldn't help coughing.

"Take it with you." the captain ordered.

Chu An hurriedly stood up and tried to send it over to them, but the captain stopped him with his hand, "Don't move, it's too dangerous here."

He asked his men to get it.

But Chu An had taken the opportunity to take two steps forward and was only one meter away from the edge of the crack. He turned sideways and looked down. The crack was like a geological painting, showing people the magnificence of the deep earth.

In the light of the searchlight, you can see the criss-crossing cliffs, like the broken bones of a wild beast, telling of the pain of being torn apart.

There was also loose soil that kept falling down, and the cracked stones had also become loose and could fall down with the soil at any time. The crown was indeed very dangerous.

She handed the medicine pack to the two team members, and the captain thanked her.

"I also have drones. Why don't you let me control them and go down together to take a look? If we encounter any danger, I can inform you in advance."

Chu An achieved his goal step by step.
