These rescuers had been working continuously for several hours, reaching their physical and mental limits. They needed rest to recover their strength and prepare for any potential complications.
After a moment's thought, Xu Anbang looked at the two strong young villagers and instructed them, "Wu Gui, Liu Ping, you two stay and take turns keeping watch at night. Also, lend Uncle Wang a hand. Call us anytime if anything happens."
