Chapter 64 It's Crazy

Outside the factory, Lin Zhi came to Pei Yuezhou and reported: "Sir, my wife is safe now. She said she can handle it alone. We must evacuate first."

"Evacuate?" Pei Yuezhou's gaze was like an ice-hardened knife, cutting through the tightly closed factory gate.

Behind the rusty iron sheet, every second of silence is abnormal and weird.

Something is wrong.

He said in a deep voice, "Let those in the inner circle retreat first."

After Lin Zhi finished giving the instructions on the intercom, he found Pei Yuezhou's slender figure standing in the night, with no intention of leaving.

Lin Zhi was stunned: "Sir? You..."

"Follow orders." Pei Yuezhou's voice did not allow for any discussion. His eyes were fixed on the dark factory, and his heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand.

Inside the factory, Yu Zhi had already cut the third wire.

Sweat soaked her hair and stuck to her cheeks, and her palms were rubbed red by the tools, but her movements did not slow down at all.

The thugs next to her didn't dare to breathe. Looking at the thin woman who now looked like an experienced bomb disposal expert, their eyes changed from initial suspicion to awe.

"The last one." Yu Zhi took a deep breath, pinched the thin green fuse with her fingertips, and her eyes fell on the wall clock - 7:59.

As the scissors snapped shut, the hour hand of the wall clock pointed to eight o'clock.

Everyone held their breath, and the air seemed to freeze.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... The expected explosion did not come, only the green light of the emergency light swayed slightly in the silence.

"Is it done?" a thug asked in a trembling voice.

Yu Zhi was about to nod when the ground beneath her feet suddenly shook violently.

The steel frame above my head groaned harshly, concrete blocks fell like raindrops, and dust instantly filled the entire space.

[Is this... a self-destruct program? ]

Yu Zhi frowned. The other party actually had a backup plan?!

It seems that he is determined to save her life.

[Go to the northwest corner! There's an underground warehouse with a good load-bearing structure.] Xiaoshui's voice exploded in his mind, accompanied by a rapid alarm, [Quick! The factory building is about to collapse!]

"Follow me!" Yu Zhi grabbed the nearest thug and rushed towards the northwest corner.

The others woke up as if from a dream and stumbled after him.

Blocks of cement hit the steel frame beside him, making a deafening sound. The factory building behind him was collapsing bit by bit, and the dust raised was almost suffocating.

Yu Zhi kicked open the warehouse door, slipped inside, and turned around to shout, "Come in! Quick!"

As soon as the last person rushed in, the entrance behind him was completely blocked by the falling concrete slabs.

The warehouse was pitch black, with only a thin ray of light coming through the crack in the door, casting a layer of dust on everyone's face.

Outside, Pei Yuezhou watched helplessly as the entire factory collapsed in the violent shaking, smoke and dust rising into the sky, instantly engulfing the area.

He seemed to have lost all his strength. He took a step back suddenly and bumped into the car with a dull thud.

"Yu Zhi!"

Mr. Pei, who is usually calm and composed, now has red eyes, like a trapped beast on the verge of death.

He suddenly pushed Lin Zhi away and rushed towards the ruins like a madman. His hands were stuck in the rubble, and the sharp edges scratched his palms. Blood mixed with dust seeped into the cracks in the stones, but he was completely unaware.

"Sir! Calm down! The tools and team will be here soon!" Lin Zhi rushed forward with his bodyguards and tried to hold him back, but he was thrown away by him.

"Get out of here!" Pei Yuezhou's voice was as hoarse as sandpaper.

The fear that often appeared in nightmares penetrated into his bones, and unprecedented regret and collapse destroyed his sanity bit by bit.

He shouldn't have agreed to it in the first place.

She shouldn't be put in this dangerous situation.

Yu Heng stood aside, his face equally pale.

He looked at the ruins where rubble kept rolling down, his fingers clenched into fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white and almost broke.

He suddenly remembered something, took out his cell phone and called back the garbled number, but there was only a cold busy tone in the receiver.

Yu Heng took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, and shouted to the people behind him: "Move all the heavy equipment over here! Quick!"

As the night grew darker, the lights on the ruins lit up like daylight, illuminating the anxious figures of the two men.

Pei Yuezhou knelt on the ground, tirelessly digging the rubble with a military shovel. His expensive suit had long been soaked with dust and blood, and he looked in a terrible state.

Yu Heng stood beside him, directing the construction machinery to clear the obstacles in an orderly manner, but his eyes were always fixed on the ruins, and the worry in his eyes almost overflowed.

Time passed by minute by minute, and every second felt like being fried in a frying pan.

The dust under the ruins gradually settled, and in the underground warehouse, Yu Zhi fumbled for a lighter. With a "click", an orange-red flame shot up, illuminating several frightened faces around her.

She held up the lighter, looked at the closed iron door, then looked at her watch, and said in an unnaturally calm voice: "Don't worry, the people outside will come to rescue us soon."

Her A Yue must be very worried.

Yu Zhi's fingertips gently stroked the metal casing of the lighter, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in her eyes.

On the ruins, Pei Yuezhou's originally fair and beautiful hands were covered in mud and blood. Every time he raised his hands and lowered them, it seemed as if he had used up all his strength.

Yu Heng, who was standing next to him, felt both pained and anxious when he saw him like this.

He was also extremely anxious, but Pei Yuezhou's reckless behavior would only bring himself down.

"Pei Yuezhou! Calm down!" Yu Heng stepped forward and tried to hold him down. "Now is not the time to fight with brute force!"

Pei Yuezhou couldn't listen at all. All that was left in his world was the ruins in front of him and the figure that might be crushed underneath.

He even began to mumble incoherently: "Zhizhi, don't be afraid... I'm coming... I'll be there soon..."

Yu Heng looked at him like this and pinched his temples tiredly. He was really crazy.

Lin Zhi exclaimed while holding the life detector: "Sir! There's a signal! A very strong life signal! It's right down there!"

Pei Yuezhou suddenly looked up, and a little light ignited in his dead eyes. With the support of Yu Heng, he staggered to his feet.

He grabbed the detector and pressed the button with trembling fingertips. When the waveform on the screen jumped steadily, he suddenly smiled.

There was a hint of uncontrollable sobbing in that voice.

Lin Zhi turned around and yelled at everyone, "Quick! Right here! Dig! Dig faster!"

The night is deep, and the lights on the ruins are still bright, illuminating a group of sleepless figures.

And in this land shrouded in despair and hope, Yu Zhi waited quietly.

She knew that it wouldn't be long before the man who risked everything for her would appear before her with light.
