Chapter 295 Still Alive
The rapid red light startled several people at first. Officer Yu and Song Zhi were the first to react. They ran into the mine filled with red light and took a look.
Song Zhi showed a panicked expression for the first time. She held one in each hand and said, "Run! It's a time bomb!"
That hurried sound is the sound of countdown.
Si Ran's expression changed when he heard that.
Pei Yu asked, "Sister-in-law, how long will the time bomb last?"
As Song Zhi led the two out, he said, "There are still three minutes left. There are at least ten bombs in the mine, and there is no way to dismantle them."
This sentence made Pei Yu swallow back what he was about to say next.
Officer Yu was at the rear, using the walkie-talkie in his hand to frantically call out to the outside world and his colleagues who had led the team out of the No. 2 mine.
"Have all personnel in Mine No. 1 been evacuated? If so, move away immediately!"
"How long will it take for Mine No. 2 to be evacuated?"
"What? Five minutes? It's too late! All the victims must be taken out within three minutes!"
Officer Yu finished speaking quickly, his heart already pounding.
Several people ran as fast as they could, and no one asked whether they could get out this time. In the dark mine, there were only lights from above their heads crisscrossing on the rock walls. No matter how they slipped or even fell, they could only bite the bullet and run towards the exit.
I don’t know how long it took, but the policeman who brought the victim out of Cave No. 2 responded breathlessly on the other end of the walkie-talkie.
"Officer Yu, all victims at Cave 2 have been safely evacuated. How's the situation on your end?"
On the ground, hundreds of police cars were parked in a safe area, and the police met with the miners and victims coming out of the mine one by one.
However, after the police officer in charge of Mine No. 2 finished speaking, he suddenly felt a vibration under his feet.
Then, explosions rang out one after another.
The mine collapsed!
Lin Suiye and others frowned and rushed forward regardless of how the police tried to stop them.
"Xiao Ran, Song Zhi!"
"Officer Yu, Second Master Pei!"
Ji Zhishi and Ruan Qingyue, the two timid ones, were so frightened that their faces turned pale. When they ran to the collapsed cave entrance, they just stood there in a daze.
I don’t know how long it took, but Ruan Qingyue and Ji Zhishi’s faces were covered with tears.
Ruan Qingyue: "Ran, Sister Ran didn't come up, what...what should we do? What should we do?"
Lin Suiye and Zhang Mingyi lay at the entrance of the No. 2 mine and said, "What are you standing there for? Start digging!"
"Yes!" Ji Zhishi pulled Ruan Qingyue, his eyes were dazed, his thoughts stopped but he didn't dare to stop.
The two men ran to the cave entrance and mechanically lifted the rocks.
But standing in front of the collapsed mine, Si Ran looked like a drop in the ocean, extremely small.
The police who saw this scene realized what was happening and immediately said, "Hurry up and call the rescue team."
After saying that, the police quickly pulled the four people apart and whispered, "It's not safe here. We need to wait for the expert team to arrive."
"We can't wait any longer!" Lin Suiye's eyes were red. He knew that as the captain he should calm down and talk to the police properly, but when he thought about his comrades who had fought side by side with him and were suddenly trapped in the mine, he couldn't calm down.
It was Zhang Mingyi who calmed down first at this moment.
"We're listening to the police now. Si Ran is incredibly lucky. A mine collapse might not take down everything inside. Our most important thing now is to find out where Xiao Ran is. You're the captain, you can't panic."
Lin Suiye calmed down instantly.
He looked at Ji Zhishi and Ruan Qingyue, who were crying with snot running down their faces, took a deep breath, and said, "I understand. Let me be quiet for a while."
After Lin Suiye followed the police to a safe area, he couldn't help but look back at the collapsed mine, took a long, deep breath, and exhaled again.
Nothing can happen!
——
The mine was pitch black.
Si Ran felt his forehead was sticky, and warm liquid flowed from his forehead to his face.
Si Ran was in a daze for three seconds before his memory finally came back.
They were originally running wildly in the tunnel of the mine, and a few of them knew they couldn't get out, so they ran towards a dead end.
A dead end usually occurs because there is no ore in the mine, or because the ore in a certain place is too hard and the miners cannot dig any deeper.
Of course, there is another situation, that is, if we continue digging, there is a risk of the mine collapsing.
With only three minutes to escape, the few people had no time to think too much and finally found the dead end before the explosion.
Next to it was a dead end, and at the other end the only safe exit was blocked by rubble from the explosion.
Si Ran breathed a sigh of relief, they won the bet.
"Xiao Ran!"
Before Si Ran could finish her breath, Pei Yu, who had been briefly unconscious next to her, suddenly sat up.
When he saw the blood flowing from Si Ran's forehead, Pei Yu's voice trembled: "Ran Ran, are you okay?"
Si Ran was indeed feeling a little dizzy now.
The shock wave of the explosion was too strong. The bomb exploded as soon as they arrived at the mine. In order to protect the child in their arms, their heads were hit by rubble, their pants were torn, and their knees were covered in blood.
Si Ran shook her head with some difficulty, thinking of the child, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and check on the child and Sister Song Zhi."
"I'm fine." Song Zhi woke up when he heard Pei Yu's threatening voice.
Pei Yu checked the two children. They were obviously frightened. It was not until Si Ran went to comfort them that they dared to cry out loud.
Officer Yu was not seriously injured, but several people had scratches of varying sizes.
Si Ran comforted the child and looked at Officer Yu. "I'm glad everyone's okay. As long as we're alive, there's hope. I have some water and compressed biscuits in my backpack, which should last me a while. Officer Yu, can you see if your walkie-talkie still works? If it does, please contact the higher-ups immediately."
The cell phone signal inside the mine was intermittent, but this explosion completely eliminated all signal.
Now the only chance to contact the outside world is through the walkie-talkie.
"Let me see." Officer Yu gritted his teeth and searched for the walkie-talkie on the ground, finally finding it among a pile of rubble.
Officer Yu turned on the button and clicked "Hello" twice.
The walkie-talkie made a dense sound of electricity, and just when a few people thought there was no hope, the sound of electricity suddenly disappeared.
Officer Yu was able to clearly hear the ecstatic voice coming from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
"Director, Si Ran and the others are still alive!!!"
