Chapter 177 Life-or-Death Rescue
This powerful earthquake lasted for a full minute!
The moment the seismic waves stopped, Wen Ni and Liu Shu were quickly leading everyone out of the mountain.
As soon as I entered the military base gate
With a serious expression, Leng Feng walked straight over and asked, "Boss, how are you? Are you all alright?"
"We're fine, how's the company?"
"Fortunately, everyone in the company is alright." Leng Feng breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "The company just received instructions from higher command that the earthquake reached magnitude 6 and lasted for a long time, causing significant damage to buildings and facilities in the epicenter and surrounding areas. The number of casualties is unknown, and there will be aftershocks for several more days. The troops, including the 357th Company, are on standby at any time!"
"Okay, I understand," Wen Ni replied calmly.
horizon
Dark, heavy clouds rolled in.
The world is about to change.
Over the next few days, filming of "The Brave Man" accelerated as scheduled, during which several aftershocks occurred, but they were all short-lived.
"I heard that the reconstruction work in the epicenter area is going smoothly, and this earthquake should not cause any greater impact, so everyone doesn't need to worry!" Xiwen chatted during a break.
Cai Wenyou wiped the sweat from his brow and glanced at her. "Who told you that? Instructor Liu?"
"Ahem~" Xiwen patted him shyly. "You're so annoying, Brother Cai! Don't talk nonsense."
After spending these past few days together, their relationship has truly become like that of comrades-in-arms, incredibly close.
"I really don't know if some people come here to work or to date!" Li Shu scoffed.
Upon hearing this, Xiwen's anger immediately flared up. "Didn't some people say they weren't going to record anymore? Why are they still sitting here?"
"Ha! If it weren't for Director Zhao's sake, do you think I would have wanted to come back?" Li Shu rolled her eyes, stood up and left. "I feel unlucky even breathing the same air as you!"
Although Li Shu was persuaded to return by the production team that day, she was still full of resentment.
"They all treat me like I'm invisible, they don't like me at all. If I don't show up, let's see how you'll take pictures!?" she muttered, looking around before quickly walking towards a somewhat secluded training building!
"Li Shu, what are you doing over there?" When Instructor Liu Shuzheng came over, he saw Li Shu's back as he walked away. He frowned, took a few steps after him, and shouted, "That training building is a dangerous building. It will be demolished in a few days!"
His voice was so loud that Wen Ni on the training field couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.
Li Shu acted as if she hadn't heard anything and walked straight in.
Just as Liu Shu was about to continue following, the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to shake!
"Oh no!"
"Li Shu!"
"Everyone! Take cover in open areas!"
Wen Ni's heart sank. She crouched down to steady herself and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Liu Shuzheng! Back up! Don't go any further! The building is going to collapse!"
"!"
The dilapidated building swayed noticeably. In the short few dozen seconds of the seismic waves, the walls cracked rapidly from top to bottom. With a loud cracking sound, the entire building collapsed diagonally forward!
Fortunately, Wen Ni shouted, and Liu Shuzheng took a few steps back, thus avoiding being knocked down by the collapsing wall!
Everyone was terrified!
This earthquake was clearly of a higher magnitude than the first one, and it lasted for almost a hundred seconds before stopping!
"Something's happened!" Wen Ni spat out a word and rushed towards the collapsed training building area the moment the earthquake stopped.
"Quickly! Emergency assembly! Everyone! Come here! We need to save people!"
"Hurry! Hurry up!"
The abandoned training building is six stories high.
The building collapsed to the side and front, and the base layer was relatively intact. If Li Shu had been near the main entrance on the first floor and hadn't been hit by the ceiling, there would have been a 1% chance of him surviving!
Wen Ni and Lian Li discussed it and decided that they could not give up the rescue, even if there was only a 1% chance of survival.
One o'clock in the morning.
The rescue and excavation lasted for a full eight hours.
"Master Wen, would you like to eat something?" Xiwen and Cai Wenyou, still worried, came back to the scene wearing coats.
Wen Ni was moving a wooden board with her bare hands. Her clothes were filthy, and there were several bloodstains on her bare arms, which were covered in short sleeves.
"fine."
She casually wiped the sweat from her brow with her arm.
He picked up another steel pipe and threw it aside.
"Wen Ni! You can't keep going like this. There are so many people here. It's okay for you to rest for a while!" Cai Wenyou couldn't bear to watch and reached out to hold her down.
Wen Ni raised her hand and pointed heavily to her camouflage uniform. "This is my responsibility, just like theirs."
"But you are after all..."
Cai Wenyou wanted to persuade her again, but then he saw a hand holding a small piece of steamed bun, reaching past him and directly offering it to Wen Ni's mouth. "Eat."
"..."
Wen Ni paused for a second before opening her mouth to accept it.
It is Lu Jinye.
He held a steamed bun in his left hand and a bowl of porridge in his right.
His clothes were just as dirty as Wen Ni's!
He had been with her the whole time. When he briefly disappeared just now, she thought he couldn't stay awake any longer and had gone back to sleep.
I never expected that I would go to get her food!
"It has to be Brother Lu, his efficiency is amazing!" Xiwen gave two thumbs up!
Isn't it more effective to just put it directly in your mouth than to persuade someone no matter how much you try?
"Have some porridge." Lu Jinye handed over the bowl. "I made it."
"What the heck..." Xiwen's eyes widened as she tugged at Cai Wenyou's sleeve. "Brother Cai, what did I tell you? Brother Lu treats President Wen differently. Who else gets to drink porridge personally cooked by Brother Lu?!"
"Master Lu!" Qin Yuan, also covered in dirt and sweating profusely, came over as he helped dig with his bare hands.
Lu Jinye pointed to another bowl of porridge and steamed buns placed next to the big tree. "Go and eat something."
"Is there...and there's still some for me? Thank you, Master Lu!" Qin Yuan's eyes reddened.
For this reason alone, Qin Yuan would fight Lu Jinye to the death!
Cai Wenyou, standing to the side, watched silently.
Over time, he gradually realized that compared to Lu Jinye, he was far inferior. So what gave him the right to compete and fight with Lu Jinye...?
"We've got it! We've got it!! I heard a noise down there! It sounds like someone banging on a steel pipe, calling for help! It's very rhythmic!"
Amidst the ruins, Leng Feng and Liu Shu, both disheveled, shouted excitedly at the top of their lungs!
Wen Ni picked up the porridge, took a big gulp, and then ran over.
“Judging from the edge, the ceiling of the second floor is supporting half of the load-bearing column, so it can't collapse for the time being. However, the situation inside is complicated, and we can't use excavators. Only one person can go in and try to get it out little by little!” Leng Feng said, gesturing to the narrow entrance. “But this place is a bit narrow, and Li Shu's condition is unknown. She probably can't climb out on her own…”
"I'll go in!" Wen Ni said decisively, then raised her hand to re-pin up her disheveled hair, and picked up an entrenching tool with her left hand.
Everyone was stunned!
"No!" Leng Feng and Lu Jinye spoke almost simultaneously.
