Seeing that You Tianfu had no response, the group became even more anxious and started working. Dozens of people had clear division of labor. Some went to clean up the debris around, some were responsible for fixing the stones, and some directed the crane to clean up and rescue.
Fortunately, his good friend Tianfu and Wang Manxi were underground, and when the explosion occurred, the entire foot bath city collapsed to the other side, which pulled the ground apart and exposed the two of them. Otherwise, even if they were not killed in the explosion, they would have suffocated to death in there!
Using the gap as a breakthrough point, everyone worked together to move the accumulated construction materials nearby bit by bit, and finally exposed the entire basement space. As long as they could lift the stone slab stuck in the corner, they could successfully rescue the two people.
There was no rescue team or equipment in Chinatown, so we had to figure out everything ourselves.
While everyone was rescuing, Murong Jie took a few people to the East City Commercial Street and knocked open the doors of several hardware stores and repair shops. He packed up everything he could find that might be of use, whether it was crowbars or jacks, and brought them to the scene for support.
The last piece of stone slab was stuck between the two people and was the most troublesome one!
The slab must have weighed at least several thousand pounds, clinging tightly to Wang Manxi's back, its sides wedged firmly against the wall. If the rescue method was incorrect, damaging the supporting points on either side and causing the slab to continue sinking and collapsing, the two people underneath would be crushed to a pulp.
In the darkness, several searchlights illuminated the scene. Lin Lidong stopped everyone's work, stood at the edge of the ground, observed the stone slab, and thought of the best rescue plan in his mind.
Hao Zhengguang and others were also worried. They looked around several times, and only when Murong Jie brought back the tools did their eyes light up. They asked someone to take two jacks of appropriate size and go down to both sides of the deep pit, place them horizontally, one against the wall and the other against the stone slab, and apply pressure on both sides at the same time to lift the stone slab up little by little.
The four younger brothers went down, and before they could get busy, they saw Lin Lidong and Hao Zhengguang jumping down one after another. They were worried about their younger brothers' operation. If there was any mistake, You Tianfu's life would be gone, so they did it themselves. After fixing the jack, the two looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then turned the handle at the same time to slowly increase the pressure!
As the stone slab was lifted up little by little, the pressure on You Tianfu and Wang Manxi was obviously relieved. When the space was large enough, the two younger brothers rushed over, first pulling Wang Manxi out, and then dragging You Tianfu outside.
Just as You Tianfu was being pulled out of the pit, the jack couldn't support the weight of the stone slab. It suddenly lost its bearings and lost its strength, causing the stone slab to fall again, breaking into two pieces and completely sealing off the secret space underground...
After escaping danger, the two were rushed to the hospital. They looked very miserable, with dust all over their bodies and faces, and many scars on their bodies and hands. Their eyes were closed and their breathing was weak. They looked in extremely dangerous condition.
But after a careful examination by the doctor, Wang Manxi's heart and lungs were squeezed, and although she suffered some damage, it was not fatal. You Tianfu was barely injured at all, and her fainting was mainly due to the lack of oxygen in the airless room.
When they found out that You Tianfu was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The rescue work lasted almost a whole night. After the two were settled in the ward, the sky outside began to gradually brighten.
Chen Dong had been staying in the hospital to accompany Lunzi. When he got up in the morning and just left the ward, he met Hao Zhengguang and Lin Lidong. After asking them in detail, he found out that such a big thing had happened last night.
Wang Manxi's injuries were quite serious, but she woke up early and opened her eyes at noon. Looking at her surroundings and Hao Zhengguang and others, she could roughly guess that she was rescued by the group of people from Chengdong.
Although lying on the hospital bed, her haggard state still couldn't hide Wang Manxi's beautiful face. Murong Jie looked at her plump little rabbits and secretly swallowed his saliva, sighing quietly: "Top quality... really top quality... Although she is a prostitute... she is rare in the world..."
You Tianfu was in a coma for the entire day and didn't respond until the evening. After waking up, he first asked about Wang Manxi's situation, and then he staggered to his feet to find Chen Dong.
After several days of treatment and care, Lun has woken up and is in stable condition. He just needs to rest and recuperate.
In the wheelchair ward, You Tianfu and Chen Dong sat facing each other. He briefly recounted what had happened in the Foot Bath City, then repeated Lei Haozi's reminder, saying in a deep voice, "Lei Haozi wouldn't lie about this kind of thing. Phyllis has always had some connection with the warlords. This time, his target isn't just Wang Manxi, but all the bigwigs in Chinatown. He wants to unify Chinatown and pave the way for the warlords!"
Chen Dong's brow furrowed. Ever since he heard the news that Phyllis had blown up the Foot Bath City, he had sensed a hint of danger. After all, with Wang Manxi's abilities, she certainly wouldn't have taken the initiative to provoke Chengbei. And Phyllis's sudden and ruthless attack must have some conspiracy or intention.
But Chen Dong never expected that the beneficiary of this dispute was not Phyllis herself, but the warlord who was about to move into Chinatown!
Hao Zhengguang also sighed: "This matter involves the life and death of all the Chinese people in Chinatown. The Foot Bath City is gone. It may be today or tomorrow. Phyllis will definitely take action again!
Dong Ye's container house has been bombed, and Xie Jiannan is now at the end of his rope, with only the building materials factory and the entertainment city remaining. It is very likely that Nathan's next target will be us!
Murong Jie responded, "Phyllis has always been very powerful. His park is the largest industry in the entire Chinatown, and the number of his subordinates is also quite impressive. More importantly, this guy has an armed force, and everyone has a gun.
Treating us in this situation is no different from an adult beating a child..."
Wheels on the hospital bed grinned bitterly: "Chinatown is just a desolate mountain village, a no-man's land without laws and leaders. No matter how prosperous it is, in the end, strength will have the final say.
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. We have many people and strong fists, so this is Chinatown. But they have many guns and enough bullets, and they can turn this place into a "foreign town" in the next second.
"Master Dong, back then we were loyal to our friends and lived in the underworld. But now times have changed. Warlords are the new arrivals, and battlefields are the new arrivals. This place is no longer suitable for us..."
Chen Dong was silent for a long while, his expression changing again and again. Finally, he stood up and walked to the window, looking at the night view outside and whispering softly: "Yes, what a beautiful starry sky and bright moon. It's a pity that the weather is going to change..."
