With this shout, everyone's attention was drawn, and the crowd quickly gathered around.
Xiao Qifeng seemed to see a glimmer of hope. With Lu Wanzheng's intelligence, as long as she hadn't fallen into a coma, she would definitely find a way to save herself.
"Come quick and help!" The person who heard the voice waved their arm.
The crowd surged forward.
"Thump thump thump, thump~thump~thump~, thump thump thump."
A very rhythmic sound came from the ruins, which was clearly audible to everyone around.
"It's Morse code for help, there are people down below!" One of the rescue team members recognized the message and directed the people around him to move the stones.
Xiao Qifeng took the lead and moved the topmost stone away.
Next, he dug away some rubble. He had been digging for a long time and was already drenched in sweat; his shirt was soaked through with sweat.
Just as Lu Wanzheng had thought, her room was the outermost one, so she hadn't been digging for long when a white object, resembling a soft cushion, was exposed to the air.
The sound of the stones being moved from the top became even clearer.
It is quite certain that the person was under the cushion.
"Found it! Found it!"
Xiao Qifeng took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, "If we move the stones next to us a little more, we can lift up this cushion."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the last large rock that had been pressing down on the cushions was removed.
Lu Wanzheng, who was under the cushion, could vaguely hear a lot of noise outside through the huge stones. So she immediately picked up a stone that was just big enough to hold in one hand and started hitting the large rock next to her.
Solids travel faster, so striking stone with stone, combined with Morse code, was the fastest way she could think of to get rescue in her predicament.
She knew she had succeeded when she heard someone shout. As the stone pressing on the mattress was removed, the small space that had previously made it difficult to move was no longer oppressive.
What she didn't expect was that she seemed to hear a voice that shouldn't be there. It was probably a rescue worker whose voice sounded a lot like hers. As Lu Wanzheng thought about it, the lingering fear from the earthquake dissipated.
The mattress above their heads was slowly moved away, and sunlight gradually streamed into the small space where they had spent nearly five or six hours.
As Lu Wanzheng saw the sunlight streaming in, the warm yet somewhat dazzling light made her squint involuntarily. The tension in her heart snapped, and her consciousness gradually blurred.
Just as her consciousness was fading, she seemed to see a face she had longed for, the only face that flashed through her mind when danger struck.
Her consciousness completely faded, and she collapsed into Xiaohua's arms with her eyes closed.
"Wanzheng!" Xiao Qifeng saw Lu Wanzheng suddenly collapse and anxiously helped her up.
A handsome rescuer saw three women under the cushions. One was lying in another's arms, and the third had her eyes closed, her injuries unknown, leaning against a corner. He shouted, "Quick, get a stretcher!"
Xiao Hua, the only one of the three who was still conscious, caught Lu Wanzheng the moment she collapsed.
Xiao Qifeng reached one hand under Lu Wanzheng's back, through her left armpit, and the other hand under her knees, picked her up, and walked towards the ambulance parked in the open space.
Xiao Hua followed closely behind him. This unfamiliar man didn't seem like a rescuer, but he looked somewhat familiar. For safety's sake, she chose to stay by Lu Wanzheng's side like a shadow.
