After Lu Mei took Shi Huan back, she told Chen Da about the loss of contact between Chen Li and Meng Yi who were part of the rescue team.
After hearing this, Chen Da was stunned for a long while. All that echoed in his mind was the scene of his son Chen Li going out for work in the morning. This kid was always laughing and talking in a frivolous manner. Why did he suddenly go to the disaster relief this time?
"This is impossible! Wife! You have to be kidding me, right?"
Chen Da grabbed Lu Mei's hand, his eyes widened, and he was unable to accept this fact for a moment.
"Uncle Chen... wuwu..." Shi Huan called out to Chen Da, but he couldn't help it and started sobbing softly again.
"Cheer up, everyone! They are both waiting for us to rescue them!"
"Let's go! Let's go there on our own electric tricycle! Even if I have to search the entire Lingcheng, I will find them."
Lu Mei's voice was trembling, but her eyes were firm, and she believed that everything would get better.
"Okay! Aunt Lu, I'll listen to you!"
Shi Huan wiped her tears with her sleeve, ran home and brought back a shovel they used to grow vegetables.
Lu Mei is the backbone of Chen Da's family. What she said just now gave Chen Da confidence and courage.
"Yes! We will definitely find them!"
Chen Da rummaged through the cabinet and found their family's medicine box. He picked up two shovels, and the three of them hurried downstairs to drive the electric tricycle.
…
"Hello! It's dangerous ahead. No one except official rescue personnel is allowed to leave Arashiyama."
At the foot of Arashiyama, a patrolman holding an official flag stepped forward and stopped Lu Mei and her companions’ electric tricycle.
"Comrade! We have an urgent matter! We must leave Lanshan today!" Chen Da said anxiously.
"No! We have orders from above! If you are not allowed to go out, then you are not allowed to go out! Please turn around and go back immediately!"
The patrolman looked unhappy and spoke to Chen Da and the other two in a much louder voice unconsciously.
Don't these people know there's an earthquake outside? So many people have died in Lingcheng now, and the first batch of disaster relief workers have been wiped out. These people still dare to rush into the city. They really don't care about their lives!
Lu Mei gave Chen Da a look, meaning that he should be prepared and just rush forward if he really couldn't.
"Comrade! My son is still outside! We are just going out to pick him up and will be back soon. We will definitely not cause any trouble to the government."
When Lu Mei thought of her son Chen Li, her heart began to ache. At this moment, she seemed to be able to feel that Chen Li's breathing was becoming more and more difficult.
"No! The earthquake in the city is very serious. Listen to my advice and go back! Once they are sure there are no aftershocks, the authorities will send people out to search and rescue. It will be useless for you guys to go!"
The patrolman gestured to them again to turn around and go back immediately.
Seeing that it was useless to communicate properly, the three people made up their minds, started the electric three-wheeler and rushed towards the intersection like a gust of wind.
"Hey! It's very dangerous for you to do this! Come back quickly!"
The patrolman ran far away until Chen Da's tricycle completely disappeared from the road.
…
Su Keke's capsule house flew very fast. After they returned to the epicenter of the earthquake, they started a new round of life detection.
The capsule house slowly passed a lot of ruins, and there was no sign of life underneath.
"Why can't it detect anything? Coco! Is the detector in this capsule house broken?"
Grandma Qiao stared at the ruins below, wondering how this capsule house could not be relied upon at the critical moment! There couldn't possibly be no living being in the ruins, right?
"It shouldn't be bad!"
Su Keke replied and immediately moved the capsule house closer to the ground.
Beep, beep, beep…
Suddenly, a loud dripping sound was heard, and Su Keke and Grandma Qiao saw a man crawling out of the ruins by himself.
“Cough cough… cough cough cough…”
The man was covered in dust from head to toe, his hair seemed to have turned gray, and there were wounds on his forehead and back.
Seeing that he was still conscious, Su Keke prepared a first aid kit, which contained medicine for treating wounds, as well as water and bread.
Su Keke used the capsule house to place the medicine box in a very conspicuous position near this person, but this person didn't even see it.
"What's that look in this guy's eyes?" Su Keke complained. Seeing that the man was about to walk past the medicine box, she got anxious and picked up a glass from the coffee table and threw it out.
"Bang!" The glass cup hit the broken wall with a crisp crackling sound, which startled the man who was walking forward with his head down.
When he looked towards the place where the sound came from, he saw the big medicine box where Su Keke had placed it.
"Strange! How come there isn't a scratch on this medicine box? Besides medicine, there are also food inside?"
The person who just crawled out of the rubble by himself was the captain of the rescue team, Fang Yong. Su Keke and Grandma Qiao had dealt with him before when they lived on the 20th floor.
But Fang Yong was covered in dust, so Su Keke and Grandma Qiao couldn’t recognize him at first.
Su Keke was relieved to see that the man had finally found the medicine box. The man looked like he was from a patrol team. "People on patrol should have the ability to save themselves, right?" Su Keke said to herself.
"I don't think his injuries are serious. He can walk and eat, so he should be fine!" Grandma Qiao looked at the surveillance footage and responded to Su Keke's words.
"Yes!" Su Keke saw that the man was eating the bread in the medicine box, and then he gulped down a large bottle of mineral water. After eating and drinking enough, he had enough energy and should have no problem walking out of this ruin.
Because this man is awake, Su Keke cannot take him into the capsule house. She doesn't want her secret to be exposed in front of a stranger, which will cause great trouble to her and Grandma Qiao's lives.
The two people who were rescued before were in a deep coma. After the capsule house came out of the space, the time was synchronized with the outside world. Su Kekola pulled the two people into the capsule house after coming out of the space. It was not as troublesome as the first time Grandma Qiao entered the space, and she also needed to bind her identity.
So Su Keke weighed the pros and cons at the time, and still felt that taking people into the capsule house and returning to Arashiyama would be the fastest.
However, for now, this person can only be allowed to leave by himself.
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao did not stay here for long and continued to drive the capsule house to other places to search for survivors.
…
"The car in front can't move!"
Chen Da stopped the electric tricycle, looked at the large collapsed wall in front of him and said to Lu Mei and Shi Huan behind him.
When the three got out of the car, they saw that the road leading to the city was completely invisible.
What they saw before them was like a large demolition site. All the houses looked as if they had been knocked down by bulldozers and were in a state of disrepair.
There were many cracks of varying sizes on the ground. Lu Mei and the other two carried shovels and medicine boxes and carefully stepped over the cracks.
“Ah…Ah…”
Shi Huan suddenly screamed and hid behind Lu Mei in fear.
He trembled as he spoke, "There's someone in the big crack ahead!"
