Chapter 178 Beneath the Ruins
"I'm your captain, you have to listen to me!" Wen Ni put on her helmet, turned on her headlamp, raised her hand holding the entrenching tool, and lightly poked Leng Feng in the chest.
Then she turned to look at Lu Jinye.
“Li Shu came to the military base with you all to participate in the filming of the program. As the chief instructor and the top person in charge of the military, I have a responsibility to ensure the safety of each and every one of you! Therefore, I must personally bring her back safe and sound!”
"Me! I'm their instructor too, let me go!" Liu Shuzheng raised his hand and stepped forward. "It was my fault for not taking good care of Li Shu. Li Shu's problem occurred during training, so I should be responsible!"
Standing to the side, Xiwen clenched her hands and looked at Liu Shuzheng's profile with concern.
Wen Ni had long sensed the budding feelings between them, and regardless of her stance, she would not allow Liu Shuzheng to take any risks, nor could she allow him to do so!
“As you can all see, the entrance is very narrow, and the space inside is also very limited. Your bones and muscles are too stiff, making it very inconvenient for you men to move around. Moreover, if too many people go in, it will cause stress damage to the collapsed area and increase the difficulty of the rescue!”
"But!" Leng Feng and Liu Shuzheng wanted to stop them again.
"Don't delay any longer! We don't know if there will be aftershocks later, we must hurry!" Wen Ni's cold eyes narrowed, her powerful aura leaving no room for refusal. "Leng Feng! These people outside are in your care."
After she finished speaking, she gave Lu Jinye a deep look.
Then she decisively turned around, pushed herself up with both hands, and put her lower body into the entrance of the ruins. In the blink of an eye, she had crawled inside!
"Oh my god, this is too dangerous!" Xiwen was nervous and worried, and Cai Wenyou and Liu Shuzheng also looked grim.
Lu Jinye clenched and unclenched his hands at his sides.
"Master Lu?"
Qin Yuan noticed that Lu Jinye's face was getting paler and paler, and couldn't help but worry and comfort him, "Mr. Lu, are you alright? You don't need to worry so much. Miss Wen Ni is so skilled, she'll be fine! Besides, there are so many people here, nothing serious will happen!"
"She'll be alright, she definitely will be alright." Lu Jinye's voice was low and he seemed to be talking to himself. Then he lowered his eyelids, bent down, and continued to clear away the rubble and debris blocking the entrance!
Seeing this, Qin Yuan and Cai Wenyou, who were standing to the side, followed Lu Jinye without saying a word and continued to move the load!
After all, if the rubble and steel plates outside and on top of the ruins are not cleared in time, they may become a hidden danger of secondary collapse!
Inside the collapsed rescue entrance at this time.
Having successfully entered the scene, Wen Ni used the overhead light to gradually explore and see her surroundings.
Li Shu was lying less than three meters away from her!
but……
The closer you get to Li Shu, the narrower the space becomes, giving the whole area an inverted triangle shape.
Even crouching and walking is difficult; one can only crawl little by little, and there are many sharp obstacles along the way!
"hiss……"
A sharp steel bar cut Wen Ni's arm, leaving a long bloodstain, but it only made her frown and did not stop her from moving forward for even half a second!
"Cough, cough."
That was the sound of Li Shu coughing.
Li Shu had been in a semi-conscious state, and now, perhaps sensing that someone was coming to rescue her, her breathing quickened and became increasingly rapid!
Wen Ni raised her head, and the spotlight illuminated Li Shu's eyes.
"Li Shu!"
"Premier Wen...?"
When Li Shu opened her eyes with difficulty, she felt a blinding light that she hadn't experienced in a long time, and under that halo, a girl slowly crawled towards her, swirling in the dust!
The girl was covered in dirt and grime, her face was covered in mud and ash, but her eyes were bright and determined!
"General Wen, General Wen..."
"It's me! Li Shu? Stay awake, don't fall asleep, I'll get you out of here right away!" Wen Ni's voice was calm and composed, giving the listener an indescribable sense of security.
"President Wen, why? Why did you come?"
Li Shu's consciousness grew clearer, and tears, a mixture of complex emotions, welled up uncontrollably. She sobbed, muttering, "Why did you come to save me? Why did you come to save me..."
"Li Shu! Don't speak, don't cry, and don't get agitated! Otherwise you'll run out of oxygen," Wen Ni said, stopping Li Shu from continuing to speak.
"Uh-huh!"
Li Shu nodded hurriedly, desperately holding back her tears, not daring to say another word.
The surroundings were so quiet that only Wen Ni's slightly heavy breathing could be heard!
The space was cramped, and she was very tired from climbing, but she persevered and did not give up until she successfully climbed to Li Shu's side.
Wen Ni supported herself with one hand, and quickly checked Li Shu's body for any other external injuries with the other. After confirming that there were no problems, she turned her attention to the stone slab that Li Shu's left leg was pressing on...
"How's it going, boss!?"
From the communicator he was wearing, came Leng Feng's anxious voice asking questions.
"Li Shu is fine, but there's a heavy stone slab pressing on her left leg. The space is too small for me to stand up straight, so I can only try to move it away little by little!"
"Okay, boss, take your time trying it out, but please be careful!"
"Um."
Wen Ni responded with a single word.
She lowered her head again and continued to concentrate on pushing and moving the heavy stone slab.
Unable to stand or squat, all she can do right now is rely entirely on the strength of her arms!
But she was, after all, made of flesh and blood.
Her arms were scraped and rubbed by the dirt and stones on the ground, and her palms were rubbed raw by the stone slabs, leaving bloody marks!
Li Shu saw all of this.
“Chief Wen, I thought you hated me. I thought… even if I died, no one would care about me, no one would come to save me…” Li Shu said, her heart aching.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Wen Ni gritted her teeth and pushed the stone slab again with all her might. "As long as you have a breath left, I will definitely take you out!"
"I'm sorry, Professor Wen, I'm so sorry... I'm really sorry!" Only now did Li Shu realize her mistake.
"If you really feel sorry for me, then you should change your pretentious ways after we get out!" Wen Ni curved her lips and with another forceful movement of her wrist, the stone slab slid down to Li Shu's side with a thud!
Li Shu suddenly felt a relief on his legs!
She was overjoyed at that moment.
At that moment, Wen Ni's blood-red hand was extended in front of her. "Grab me."
"Okay!" Li Shu excitedly gripped Wen Ni's hand, using all her strength to wriggle forward. "President Wen, I'll listen to you. I'll definitely change after we get out!"
"good."
Wen Ni responded lightly, then pressed the communicator, "Leng Feng, the stone slabs have been removed, but this may cause a small-scale collapse. I am evacuating with Li Shu. Be prepared to provide backup!"
"Understood, understood!"
Those at the entrance who had just breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing these words held their breath again.
Just the next second!
Then a rattling sound came from the communicator.
