Chapter 853: Natural disasters are ruthless, his heart aches
As we walked along the way, we saw steel bars, broken glass, and broken furniture everywhere; not a single piece was intact.
There were cracks running all over the ground nearby, and the hole was so deep that people dared not look directly at it for fear of being swallowed by it.
Gu Luan stood in front of a collapsed building and listened carefully.
Finally, my heart sank to the bottom.
There was no sound of breathing, no cry for help, just total silence.
She should have guessed earlier that it was impossible for anyone to survive the collapse of such a tall building.
Even if there were survivors, she couldn't save them because of the countless broken walls.
"Let's go somewhere else."
Jiang Xian's tone was much lower than usual.
Obviously, he was also affected by such a tragedy.
"Let's search separately. It will be faster this way."
"good!"
After discussing it, the two went in opposite directions.
Gu Luan looked to the left, and Jiang Xian looked to the right.
"Ms. Gu, the base commander asked me to help you."
Ten men ran up to Gu Luan with tired and sad looks on their faces.
"Okay, let's start rescuing people from here."
Gu Luan pointed to a ruin not far away. She felt that there were living people inside.
The ten men followed her silently without saying a word.
"Help, someone save me."
A sound so faint that it was almost inaudible reached Gu Luan's ears, and she pointed in the direction where the sound came from.
“There are people here.”
Ten men ran over quickly, "Miss Gu, how do you know there is someone?"
It was just a pile of rubble and they didn't hear any sound. How could she determine that there was someone down there?
"My ears are good, hurry up and save him."
After Gu Luan finished speaking, he stood in front of the buried person and lifted up a stone slab.
"Ms. Gu, let's..."
Someone was about to say that they would lift it, but they discovered that Gu Luan easily lifted the hundred-pound stone slab.
The ten people stared in amazement, too shocked to move for a moment.
"What are you still standing there for? Come and help me."
Seeing several people standing there in a daze, Gu Luan turned around and shouted.
Is now the time to be in a daze?
"Oh, we'll be right there."
The ten men restrained their expressions and rushed forward to help.
After a while, they actually dug out a woman.
The woman was in relatively good condition, nothing serious except an injury to her right arm.
After saving one, Gu Luan continued to save the next one.
Following her, the ten men finally believed that Gu Luan had good hearing.
Wherever she points, there must be a living person, without any mistake.
For a moment, the ten men's admiration for Gu Luan reached its peak.
They dug wherever she pointed.
Gu Luan was very tired, but she did not stop because there was someone still alive under her feet.
Ten minutes later, she rescued a family of three again.
Unfortunately, the mother was hit by a stone slab and lost her life while trying to protect her child.
The mother's body did not look good, with wounds all over, especially on the back, where blood and flesh were flying everywhere.
The child cried for his mother and wanted to rush to her.
The husband endured the pain and held the child tightly in his arms.
Gu Luan turned his head and his eyes inadvertently fell on the other side, where there were several bodies that had been smashed to pieces.
Blood splattered and broken limbs were scattered everywhere.
She even saw that one of them had a look of panic on his face.
He was probably not dead when he was buried, and his fingertips were covered in dried blood.
I guess he tried his best to escape, but unfortunately he couldn't save himself in the end.
Gu Luan looked up and saw endless ruins all around him.
At this moment, confusion, sadness, pain and despair spread in her heart.
She felt like she was shaking all over.
No longer having the strength to support himself, Gu Luan sat on a stone slab.
She felt pain in her fingers and realized belatedly that she had injured her hand while saving others.
The blood had already stained her palms red.
She knew how miserable she was now, and her face and body must be covered with mud.
If you get wet with sweat, you'll be no different from a beggar.
Gu Luan raised his head and suddenly saw a hint of red.
She took heavy steps and walked over slowly.
It was a red string with a golden bead on it.
"Sister, do you want to buy a bottle of mineral water?"
The voice of the little girl named Youyou seemed to echo in my ears.
Gu Luan dug along the red rope, and finally she saw three bodies.
Youyou's parents hugged her in their arms, but despite this, the three of them were still smashed beyond recognition.
Gu Luan felt weak all over and collapsed to the ground.
The moment she lowered her head, a tear fell from the corner of her eye.
This tear is for all the people who died.
Gu Luan once again realized very clearly that natural disasters are ruthless.
"Aluan."
Jiang Xian pushed the crowd aside and ran towards Gu Luan.
He squatted in front of her and raised his hand tremblingly, but did not dare to touch Gu Luan's hand.
"Does it hurt?"
There was pain and self-blame in his eyes.
"It doesn't hurt, just a little tired."
Gu Luan raised his head, his voice was hoarse and his eyes were slightly red.
Jiang Xian felt so distressed when he saw her crying that he wanted to help her wipe the tears.
When he saw his hands were covered in mud, he quickly wiped them on his clothes.
Only then did he dare to use his own hands to wipe away Gu Luan's tears.
"Rest when you are tired. They are not our responsibility. Just do your best."
"good!"
Gu Luan nodded and gave a pale and weak smile.
"Go and save my husband."
A young woman ran over and tried to grab Gu Luan's hand and run somewhere.
She knew that Gu Luan and Jiang Xian were very powerful. She heard that they were very accurate and strong, so they would definitely be able to save her husband.
"roll!"
Jiang Xian ruthlessly waved away the woman's hand to prevent her from disturbing Gu Luan.
"You have the ability, why don't you go and save people? Why are you slacking off here?"
The young woman loudly accused and denounced Gu Luan and Jiang Xian.
Jiang Xian's face darkened, "Get lost!"
"Please, save my husband, he must still be alive."
Seeing that forceful tactics didn't work, the young woman immediately knelt on the ground and pointed at a collapsed high-rise building.
"There is no one alive in that building. Your husband is dead."
Jiang Xian said this mercilessly, completely ignoring whether the woman was sad or not.
They had good intentions to save people, but ended up being slandered. Everyone felt uncomfortable.
Especially since this woman actually dared to bully Gu Luan, he would not treat her well.
"Impossible. Impossible."
The young woman didn't believe it and shook her head vigorously.
Seeing her unreasonable look, Jiang Xian clenched his fists.
It's impossible to beat or kill such a person, and there's nothing I can do to her for the moment.
Lu Ting came over and ordered his men to take the woman away.
The young woman struggled hard.
She was no match for the men and had to be taken away.
"well enough?"
Lu Ting was covered in dust, not much better than Gu Luan and Jiang Xian.
"Yeah, it's okay."
Jiang Xian and Gu Luan nodded.
“Thanks to you this time, we were able to save so many people.”
Lu Ting had never seen the two men saving people, but he heard what they had just done from his subordinates.
He thought Jiang Xian was already powerful enough, but it turned out that Gu Luan was not much worse.
No wonder the two dared to live outside for so long after the apocalypse.
