Chapter 231 An Accident Occurs: Nearly Falling into the River
Everyone carried their own bags and wore raincoats. The stronger men were assigned to carry the heavier equipment, while the women carried the lighter equipment.
Xia Yuhuan took the initiative to retrieve a large and heavy piece of equipment.
Deng Qili, who was standing nearby, quickly stopped her.
"Are you crazy? This thing is too heavy, you can't do it, you can't carry it."
“The road here is difficult to walk on now, and it’s raining. It’s hard enough to just walk steadily. If you carry something like this on your back, you’ll definitely fall down before you even take a step.”
"No, I'm strong, don't worry, I can do it," Xia Yuhuan said immediately.
She had a realistic assessment of her own abilities.
Since drinking the spiritual spring water and transforming her body, she is much more powerful than before.
Aside from the other buffs provided by the space, her physical abilities improved and her strength increased.
She is now stronger than even a strong adult male.
No one is more suited to carrying this thing than her.
Deng Qili wanted to stop her, but she saw that Xia Yuhuan had already picked up her things and walked forward with ease.
Deng Qili was completely stunned by his steady gait.
"What are you standing there for? Come on." Xia Yuhuan turned around and glanced at her, urging her.
Deng Qili quickly responded and took a step to catch up.
The road was full of mud, stones, and water, a mixture that made it many times more difficult to walk on than usual.
Deng Qili wasn't carrying anything heavy, but she almost tripped and fell as soon as she took a step.
Looking at Xia Yuhuan's steady demeanor, Deng Qili felt completely numb.
No, how can the differences between people be so great?
For girls like them, Xia Yuhuan's strength is truly excessive!
At this moment, people other than Deng Qili also saw Xia Yuhuan carrying a large object on her back, and they were all stunned.
However, seeing that Xia Yuhuan was walking steadily without swaying at all, they were all relieved.
The group walked along the road, their steps uneven, heading towards the disaster area.
Because of the poor road conditions, Deng Qili had to put in more effort than usual to walk.
Even so, she was still panting heavily.
"How did you do that?" Deng Qili asked, panting heavily.
"What? How did you do that?" Xia Yuhuan asked, puzzled.
"Carrying such a big and heavy thing, and you still walk so steadily, without even turning red or out of breath, how strong do you have?" Deng Qili found it incredible.
Xia Yuhuan smiled upon hearing this: "I am naturally strong, and I exercise every day to maintain a good physique. Don't underestimate me just because I am a woman; I am very strong."
Upon hearing this, Deng Qili thought to herself: Even if she trained like crazy, she couldn't carry something that heavy.
"You, stop talking, I'm afraid you won't be able to breathe."
"When you get back, you should train hard, and your physical fitness will naturally improve."
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Deng Qili said weakly.
This road is so difficult to travel; they've been walking for almost two hours and still haven't reached their destination.
Deng Qili accidentally stepped on a stone, lost her balance, and swayed to the side, screaming as she fell backward.
They were walking along the edge of a mountainside, with the rushing river flowing beneath them.
If it rolls down, given the current water level, it will most likely drown.
Seeing this, Xia Yuhuan quickly reached out to pull her.
Deng Qili had already fallen, but Xia Yuhuan grabbed her hand, leaving her hanging in mid-air, swaying precariously.
She was so scared that tears streamed down her face.
But she stubbornly shouted, "Xia Yuhuan, let me go, or I'll drag you down with me!"
In such a dangerous situation, she didn't want to drag someone else down with her.
"Don't move, someone's coming to help," Xia Yuhuan growled.
She gripped a protruding rock on the ground with one hand to steady herself, and held onto Deng Qili's wrist with the other, afraid that if she let go, she would fall into the river.
Fortunately, the people in front of and behind them were not far away, and they rushed forward to help when they saw what was happening.
The aisle was narrow, and it was difficult to move around if there were many people. It took them a lot of effort to pull Deng Qili up.
After Deng Qili came up, Xia Yuhuan breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground, panting heavily.
"Are you alright? Can you still walk?" the person behind asked.
Xia Yuhuan said, "We might need to slow down. You go first and catch up with the main group. We'll rest for two minutes and be right back."
"good."
One by one, the people behind moved forward, leaving Xia Yuhuan and Deng Qili at the very back.
After Deng Qili recovered, she hugged Xia Yuhuan tightly.
She couldn't help but gently pat Xia Yuhuan's shoulder.
"Are you stupid? In that situation just now, you were carrying such a heavy load, and you still pulled me. Weren't you afraid I would pull you off?"
"Xia Yuhuan, are you stupid?"
Being called stupid, Xia Yuhuan was speechless.
She said irritably, "What else can I do? Just stand by and watch someone die? I can't do that."
"Besides, everything's fine, isn't it? Why are you still crying here?"
Deng Qili cried loudly, her tears mixing with the rain, making it impossible to tell whether they were tears or rain.
Xia Yuhuan laughed: "Stop crying, you look so disheveled I can't even recognize you."
"When we first met, you were probably quite arrogant. You looked down on me with an air of superiority."
"Look at you now, you've lost all your elegance. You'd better stop right now and mind your image."
Upon hearing this, Deng Qili chuckled.
While wiping away her tears, she said, "You still hold grudges? Didn't I apologize to you?"
Xia Yuhuan grinned: "I don't hold a grudge. I just can't stand seeing a beautiful woman cry, so I'm just trying to comfort you."
The conflict between her and Deng Qili during their first meeting was far from reaching the point of becoming enemies.
Moreover, after the misunderstanding was cleared up, Deng Qili treated her well.
During their time together, she developed a good impression of Deng Qili, so she had long regarded Deng Qili as a friend.
Now that the two have gone to the disaster area together and shared hardships, their relationship is bound to get even better.
"Alright, stop joking around. Let's hurry up and catch up, or we'll get lost if we don't see anyone soon," Deng Qili said, wiping away her tears.
Xia Yuhuan hummed in agreement, "Come on, I'll hold your hand and lead you."
The large object that Xia Yuhuan had been carrying earlier had been carried away by the strong man who followed behind.
With the little thing on her back, Xia Yuhuan was able to take much less effort and was perfectly able to take good care of Deng Qili.
Deng Qili didn't try to be clever, and agreed, then walked forward with Xia Yuhuan leading her.
Xia Yuhuan moved very fast, and Deng Qili was forced to quicken her pace as well.
She knew that time was of the essence, and they were racing against fate to save lives.
The sooner they can reach the disaster area, the more people they can save and the more lives they can save.
