Chapter 298 Food Exhaustion
Found it!
As soon as the news came out, the rescue team cheered.
The people in the laboratory immediately began to analyze the depth of the trapped people.
"Thirty-seven point three meters underground!"
Upon hearing this, the rescue team immediately took action.
The sudden good news gave everyone an impetus, and they quickly began to measure the thickness of the ground rock and the length of the ventilation duct.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
The wildlife protection team and Professor He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, the rescuer suggested: "Teachers, you haven't slept for a long time, why don't you go and have a rest first."
Professor He originally refused, but Lin Suiye nodded and advised, "Teacher, you are not a 30-year-old young man anymore. Your body will definitely not be able to handle a night without sleep. If you get sick, you will blame yourself after Xiaoran is rescued. The rescue team is professional, and we can't help here. Why don't you just listen to them and get some rest to refresh yourself?"
Professor He was about to say no but was unable to utter the words.
Without further hesitation, he nodded and went to the temporary shed to rest.
After making sure that Professor He was resting, Lin Suiye came out of the temporary shed and called Meng Tao.
"Teacher Meng, the unscrupulous media has learned that Xiao Ran is trapped in the mine. Please take care of it."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Suiye glanced at the first few trending searches and sighed deeply.
——
Inside the mine, it was pitch black and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Si Ran held Tuan Tuan in his arms, while Pei Yu held the little boy who had developed mental problems. They all lay on the stifling rocky ground, trying to find a comfortable place for themselves to sit.
It had been more than eighteen hours since they were trapped.
In order to save power, except for Si Ran's cell phone, the other three people's cell phones were all turned off, and the searchlight above their heads was only turned on for a while at intervals.
Even if the time is displayed on the mobile phone, if a person is locked in the empty darkness for a long time, the brain will no longer have the ability to accurately grasp time, and the person will lose himself in this confined space.
Oxygen is a problem in the mine, and the environment in which they can move is limited. The mine below is not hot now, but due to limited ventilation, the thin air around makes everyone feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.
The adults were able to endure it and only drank a small amount of water in 18 hours, leaving most of it for the two children.
Officer Yu fiddled with the intercom under the light of a nearly dead searchlight. He remained true to his duty and calmly comforted them, "Don't be afraid, everyone. I'll definitely fix the intercom, and the rescue team will definitely find us."
He looked very relaxed, if one could ignore Officer Yu's tearful voice.
In the darkness, Pei Yu blinked his narrow eyes and leaned closer to Si Ran.
Pei Yu licked his dry lips, and his mood had already calmed down.
"Officer Yu, don't be afraid. My sister-in-law is still in the mine. My brother will dig her out even if he has to dig three feet deep. Just relax."
After a brief panic, Pei Yu's mentality can be said to be much better.
After all, his elder brother often beats him, but he is a wife-slave. If anything happens to his elder sister-in-law, his elder brother will probably jump off the bridge immediately.
But before jumping off the bridge, you must find a body first.
Officer Yu had no idea Pei Yu's thoughts were so scattered, but he suddenly heard him babble, "My eldest brother has been an elite since he was young. He was admitted to university at fifteen, to Cambridge at eighteen, and started running the company at twenty."
"I'm different. I was nearly abducted when I was three. My mom ran over my feet with her car on the first day she got her driver's license when I was five. I was kidnapped and nearly killed by my dad's rivals when I was twelve. Luckily, a kind-hearted person rescued me, called the police, and sent me back. And then there was the fifteen..."
Si Ran listened silently beside him, while Song Zhi held his forehead helplessly.
Officer Yu and the two children listened to Pei Yu's "tragic experience" in amazement.
Apart from anything else, how could someone have Mercury retrograde to this extent!
"But look, I'm almost twenty-seven, and I've still managed to survive. I believe we'll be able to pull it off this time."
Officer Yu's mouth twitched. "You're quite open-minded."
Pei Yu shrugged helplessly: "I'm used to it."
Song Zhi's mouth twitched, and he said lightly: "Shut up, if you continue talking, you will be the first to die."
Pei Yu's eyes widened: "Why!"
Does he look so crispy?
Si Ran laughed: "Sister Zhizhi means that if you keep talking like that, you'll probably be the first to die of thirst."
Pei Yu: “…”
He smacked his lips, he was indeed very thirsty.
Pei Yu fell silent for a moment.
For a moment, the mine fell into silence again, but everyone's emotions had calmed down a lot.
Si Ran closed his eyes: "Save your energy, it will take a long time for them to come and rescue us."
As he spoke, Si Ran looked at the food on the ground.
Finally, the food that could be eaten for three days was divided into seven days.
——
Seventy-two hours later.
It has been nearly four days since Si Ran and others were trapped.
After finding the location of Si Ran and others, the rescue team first chiseled a gap and customized sufficient ventilation ducts.
Everything seemed to be going very smoothly, but in fact the rescue was extremely difficult.
Since records began, the death rate after mine collapse has been very high. In addition to the inability to locate the trapped people, there are also suffocation, lack of water, food, and injuries.
But the most important point is that during the rescue process, even the expert team who calculated the mine could not predict whether the mine would collapse again.
The ventilation ducts need to be nailed into the rock layer little by little by machines. Perhaps every vibration during the operation will cause the already fragile tunnel to collapse.
As a result, after three days and three nights, the construction workers only dug less than twenty meters.
And the closer we get to Si Ran and others, the more careful we have to be with the construction.
Thermal imaging cannot display physical images, so rescuers cannot make the slightest mistake.
One hundred and eight hours later, more than five days had passed since Si Ran and the others were trapped.
In the thermal imaging, the six people's movements became less and less, and the people above became more and more worried.
Because Si Ran had run out of water and food.
