Chapter 432 Acid Rain. Ground Collapse
I don't know who shouted, but everyone immediately stood up and ran away.
Chu An didn't have time to collect the Hummer, so he could only release Zi Liu secretly while no one was paying attention. Gu Ye and Chu Tian each held up one of her arms and ran forward quickly.
In just a moment, the original crack doubled in size, and the surrounding land continued to collapse.
“Run, run.”
The military jeep quickly turned its front end, and the guards grabbed the outer frame of the vehicle, stuck to the side of the vehicle and quickly moved away from the danger zone.
"Sergeant Fu, protect the people." The commander stretched his neck and shouted outside.
No matter how we protect ourselves, we are still human beings!
Fu Hening frowned and asked his men to immediately help up the elderly, weak and sick people around them. He also grabbed a little girl.
Some people were paralyzed with fear and threw their entire weight onto the warriors. At this time, it was impossible for one person to outrun, let alone holding another person.
Chu An and the other two were not in an advantageous position, as they had always been behind the refugees, but now they had caught up with them.
She looked back and saw that the place she had just run past had tilted 60 degrees and was about to collapse. Fortunately, Gu Ye and Lao Chu were in good physical condition.
However, on the inclined edge, a young soldier was dragging an old man with trembling legs, and they were about to slide down.
"Xiaoyu, run." Feng Liang, carrying an old lady on his back, shouted loudly two meters in front of him.
Xiaoyu's head was covered in sweat, with the commander's orders in his mind and a life-and-death decision in front of him.
"Save me, save me." The old man held his hand tightly, but unfortunately the crack in the ground did not give him time to think.
In the blink of an eye, both of them fell backwards!
"Feng Liang, hurry up." Guo Changning's eyes were red, and the collapsed land was chasing after his feet.
Feng Liang wiped his eyes and ran forward quickly with the person on his back.
The land behind him cracked, tilted, and collapsed inch by inch, closely following his footsteps.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran back in the direction they were running, carrying people on his back, and shouted at the same time, "Stop, stop, the front has also collapsed."
Then the commander's car did a beautiful drift and stopped in the middle.
Chu An was stunned for a moment. The front and back collapsed and he could only run to the sides. If he made the wrong choice, there would be no chance to correct it.
"Run to the right, run towards the mountain." Fu Hening has rich experience in reconnaissance and made a decision immediately.
Chu An also believed him, and the three of them hurriedly ran to the right. At this time, the large group of refugees also caught up, but there were obviously fewer people.
"Get out of the way." A ragged burly man pushed Gu Ye and Chu An away.
It’s the person who complained that the water didn’t taste good!
There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you insist on coming.
Chu An saw a black cloud on his chest and saw that he was carrying many lives, so she summoned the stone nails and sent him on his way directly. No one could slow her down.
Buzz——
A jeep drove past the three people, but quickly stopped. They were not far from the foot of the mountain, and it would be difficult to drive further up.
The commander and the lady behind him were helped out of the car and walked hurriedly up the mountain.
Chu An and the other two were relatively close to the mountain, so they also ran to the foot of the mountain.
"Go up from that side." Chu An pointed to a stone tablet that was broken into three pieces. Several people ran over and found a path between gravel and dead wood. The others followed the path opened by the commander's guards and ran up the mountain.
"Sergeant Fu, protect the masses." The commander who was being helped up did not forget to give orders.
Unfortunately, Fu Hening had not arrived yet and did not hear what he said.
Well, even if they heard it, what would it matter? There were forty or fifty refugees, and they only had a dozen young soldiers. Even if they held one each, they couldn't protect them all.
Those who run slowly will be swallowed by the cracks in the ground and won't even have time to call for help.
About fifteen minutes later, the ground cracking stopped.
Most people ran up the mountain, covered in dust and dirt, sitting on the ground gasping for breath. Chu An and the other two were the same.
The entire ground surrounded them on three sides, and two lucky little soldiers fell on the edge of the crack. They haven't gotten up yet, and their calves began to cramp after the sudden explosion.
"How is it? Is everything okay?" Gu Ye asked Xiang Chuan and Lao Chu.
Both of them shook their heads.
The ground crack happened so fast that everyone ran as fast as they could. Even though we were hungry, tired, and even sick, we ran as hard as we could for more than ten minutes. We could definitely apply for a Giannis record.
"What about you?" Chu An looked at Gu Ye who had become a "little gray man".
Gu Ye shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just squinting a little."
Chu An looked around and saw that no one was running towards them. He hurriedly took out two bottles of mineral water from the space, handed one to Lao Chu and used the other to help Gu Ye rinse his eyes.
Leave it like this for other places for now. Making it too clean might arouse suspicion.
Finally, the collapse stopped at the foot of the mountain, leaving nearly two meters of flat ground. Looking around, there was a rolling dust all around, which made people's mouths dry and their tongues parched, and they couldn't help coughing.
At the same time, the sky darkened and a drizzle of rain began to fall.
Because of the previous acid rain, the people next to the jeep began to scream and dodge, and the scene became chaotic again. In addition, it was dark, and some people were knocked down, some rolled down the hillside and were caught by Fu Hening.
"Don't panic, it's not acid rain."
Fu Hening's voice sounded, and he began to count the number of people and organize rescue.
"Xiaoyu." Feng Liang staggered to the edge of the crack and shouted loudly, the muscles on his neck bulging due to the force.
This place was more than thirty meters away from where Xiaoyu fell, and the only response he got was the rustling of falling gravel and endless dust.
Of the sixteen soldiers, thirteen are left. One of them has a fever, and three were injured while escaping. Currently, there are nine people who can participate in the rescue, including Fu Hening.
When we came out, there were three classes and thirty-three people. Now there are only thirteen left. Everyone couldn't accept this result for a while and they all kept silent.
"Sergeant, the edge is slippery and rescue is too dangerous." Guo Changning reminded.
He also wanted to save his comrades, but he didn't want anyone else to die.
Fu Hening walked to where Feng Liang was. At this time, the dust was pressed down by the sudden rain. Looking carefully, the visibility was seven or eight meters.
The edges of the ground fissures are not smooth, and some places protrude forward, so the visible distance may be farther and the danger is greater.
"I'll go check that way." He pointed to the nearest protruding edge.
"I'll go." Guo Changning quickly tied the rescue rope around himself and handed the other end to his comrade, "You can't get hurt. You still have to lead everyone to Jing City."
Squad Leader Fu was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, be careful."
He handed the searchlight over his head and placed it on Guo Changning's head.
Guo Changning did not hesitate any longer. He crawled forward, feeling for the most solid piece of ground, and leaned most of his body down.
His eyes swept across the stone wall inch by inch, and he shouted the names of his comrades in a rhythmic manner.
Time passed by minute by minute, and there was no response.
Suddenly, the ground beneath him loosened and he fell down. His comrades behind him hurriedly tightened the rope, but he was still hanging on the edge of the crack, grabbing a protruding stone with one hand.
Feng Liang wanted to go forward but was stopped by Squad Leader Fu because the land could not withstand the weight of another person.
