Chapter 215 The Last Two (2/2)



Wu Zhiqiang nodded and made the same decision as Li Xiuyuan. It was difficult, but there was no other way.

Time passed little by little, and at eleven o'clock, the rain subsided, and cheers were heard at the scene. At the same time, more generators started working, and the drilling work was able to continue.

However, the prolonged rain made drilling difficult. One issue was the drill base slipping, and another was the hole shifting. Fortunately, Li Xiuyuan had prepared for this difficulty, installing a non-slip base and laser correction, though this did extend the drilling time.

At twelve o'clock noon, the rain completely stopped, and Li Xiuyuan became busy again. He checked all the rescue work sites, confirmed the three contact points, and the status of the ten trapped people.

Continue to stare at the drilling scene.

"Li Ke, go eat something and take a rest." Wu Zhiqiang looked at Li Xiuyuan and tried to persuade him. He was a little worried about Li Xiuyuan's condition. He had not had a rest for more than thirty-six hours.

"It's okay. I can't sleep now. Besides, no one has had a rest yet." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.

Wu Zhiqiang shook his head and said, "Li Ke, that's not the case. We're from the rescue team, professionals. We're used to it. During rescue operations, we rotate through several shifts. We can take advantage of every opportunity to rest and endure for a few days. But you're different. You haven't received professional training, so you can't handle it..."

"It's okay, let's drill the hole first and contact the rest of the people." Li Xiuyuan said. There are still the last two people who have not been contacted, and he can't fall asleep even if he wants to.

"Then go and have something to eat first. Lunch is here." Wu Zhiqiang nodded to the side. Li Xiuyuan turned around and saw that it was Wu Yiyi who brought people to deliver lunch boxes to the scene.

Wu Yiyi saw the familiar figure from a distance. Compared to usual, he seemed a little thinner.

The rain had stopped, but she and her men felt the mud was so thick that it was difficult to walk. She had no idea how Li Xiuyuan could work in such an environment during the heavy rain.

But as she got closer, she realized that Li Xiuyuan was wet all over, and his raincoat was even torn. She didn't know where the raincoat was torn, or if it was caused by a fall.

The rain left a few dirty lines on his face. He fell into a mud puddle. The rain could wash them away, but it was definitely impossible to wash them away completely. The marks left behind were even more obvious.

"Xiuyuan." Wu Yiyi shouted, her face full of heartache.

"Well, Sister Yiyi, why did you come here in person?" Li Xiuyuan came over.

"You've made the trip in person. You're already on the scene. What's the big deal about us doing some logistical work? How are you?" Wu Yiyi asked with concern.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "I'm fine, thank you."

"Captain Wu, call everyone to take over and have lunch." Li Xiuyuan called to Wu Zhiqiang, then opened his lunch box and started eating.

Wu Yiyi looked at Li Xiuyuan who was eating voraciously, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she just left four words "Be careful", and then left with her people.

It was past three in the afternoon when the last drill hole was drilled through. This was the last goaf according to the mine drawings. If no one responded to this goaf, it would mean that the two people trapped underground would have encountered an accident.

The final definition may be "㳒踪".

The supplies were dropped. Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour passed. Just when Li Xiuyuan's heart had sunk to the bottom, he suddenly heard a response from the monitoring team.
