Chapter 434 Acid Rain. Organizing a Rescue
Guo Changning had ropes on his body so he couldn't fall. But if the surrounding area collapsed, the falling rubble and soil would hit him, which would be even more dangerous.
"Let him come up by himself." Squad Leader Fu looked nervous, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Guo Changning's voice came from the edge, a little excited, "I saw Xiaoyu, he didn't fall, his waist was entangled by a dead vine, less than 20 meters away from me."
Everyone's eyebrows instantly raised, and Feng Liang's eyes sparkled. He joined the army in the same year as Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu was one year older than him. He used to be annoyed by Xiaoyu's loud talk, but now he wanted to hear him call him brother again.
"Sergeant, I'll go down too. I'm going to help Brother Changning. He can't do it alone." Feng Liang said as he started to tie the rope.
"Okay, go to the right, that place can't bear your weight." Squad Leader Fu knew what he said was right, so he didn't stop him. "You have to be careful, meet up with Changning and listen to him. Don't make decisions on your own."
Feng Liang smiled and saluted, "Got it, squad leader. I promise to complete the mission and rescue Xiaoyu."
He handed the other end of the rope to his comrade, took out a set of spare ropes, and then crawled forward like Guo Changning. The rain around him was getting heavier and heavier, and it was a bit blowing on his face.
He climbed to the edge of the crack and wiped his face, "Brother Changning, I'll go down now."
"Okay, be careful." Guo Changning said. He had already released the rope and was slowly moving towards Xiaoyu.
People on the mountain were also stopping to watch. The brave ones walked to the only remaining flat ground of a dozen or so. Everyone was very excited about the survivors.
On the other side, Chu An took out three big black umbrellas from the space. The three of them sat next to the stone tablet like three black mushrooms and began to eat bread and sausages.
You definitely can't make a fire and cook here, so you can only eat fast food to fill your stomach.
"Is it Ziliu?" Lao Chu asked casually after taking a bite of bread.
"Well, I caught him when I went down to collect the car."
As for the other two soldiers who died, she didn't know when they fell. Everyone was trying to escape desperately at the time, and she had no extra time to think about saving people.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that her power was still too small in the face of nature. If the place where she had just stood suddenly collapsed, she would have no chance of escape.
She must continue to improve her mental strength. Recently, she always feels that she has more resonance with the space, especially after taking the cruise ship in.
"Hey, these soldiers are still children too." Old Chu sighed, "Not much older than you. How sad their parents would be if they knew."
"I think there is something very wrong with that commander." Gu Ye had finished eating the bread, drank half a bottle of water, and asked Chu An to take back the space.
"What do you mean?" asked Lao Chu.
"I feel like his words are fake, as if he's just pretending." Gu Ye held his hands and pondered carefully, "How can he be such a high-ranking official without any ability? And he seems to have a problem with Brother Mou Ci."
"You have become successful, like little adults." Old Chu just wanted to praise them, but then he thought about the one year he had missed. The two children had learned everything by themselves, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He wanted to smoke, "You are all better than me, better than me."
Chu An saw through his thoughts and took out a lollipop from the space and handed it to him, "It's not easy for anyone to survive to this day, but I haven't suffered any grievances."
Old Chu scratched his head. He had recently promised his daughter to quit smoking. When he felt uncomfortable, he could only eat candy to relieve the pain. But he didn't want to eat it now, so he took it and put it in his pocket.
"You've lost weight. You weren't fat to begin with. You won't gain weight even if you eat so much. Wait until you find Mou Ci. Dad will take you to Sheng Tang to recuperate. There's a Chinese doctor there who's very good."
She didn't tell him too much about the space and the past life. The suffering was over and there was no point in talking about it. As for the space absorbing excess heat, she didn't think it was a bad thing.
"I'll go see Old Man Wei later." Chu An responded casually. She knew her body well, but the problem was with her mind. But she felt much better now, at least she didn't have to vent in her diary.
On the other side, Guo Changning and Feng Liang descended slowly. Due to the rain, the ground was slippery and the surrounding structures were not solid, so the speed was very slow.
At this time, Xiaoyu's head shook. He was awakened by the rain. He slowly opened his eyes, blinked twice, and found that the surroundings were dark and his nose was full of earthy smell.
I suddenly remembered that I fell into a crack. I will never forget the sudden feeling of weightlessness.
"I... am not dead...?"
He found himself entangled by a vine, but he was thankful and didn't think too much about it. He immediately moved his body and found that his bones were fine. He pulled the vine again and found it was very strong.
Just as he was about to climb up, he heard Feng Liang's voice, "Xiaoyu, are you awake?"
Xiaoyu was overjoyed, "Brother Liang, I woke up, I'm not dead, Brother Liang, I'm still alive."
"Can you move?"
"Yes, I'll climb up now."
He grabbed the vines, pushed his feet against the stone wall, and slowly climbed upwards. It didn't seem like he had to use much effort before he met up with Guo Changning and Feng Liang.
Feng Liang didn't have time to look at him, and hurriedly put the spare rope around him. After making sure it was sturdy, he removed the vines that were wrapped around him, and didn't forget to say thank you.
No one thought that he would appear here even though he had fallen off the floating bridge. They had lost too many comrades, so as long as they were alive, it would be enough.
"Sergeant, we have received Xiaoyu, you can pull the rope." Guo Changning shouted and shook the rope at the same time.
After a few seconds, the rope swayed and pulled upwards, and the three people quickly reached the edge of the crack in the ground. This section was the most dangerous.
Fu Hening commanded everyone to retreat slowly. Fearing that another collapse would occur, he did not dare to step forward to help them and let them climb to the foot of the mountain by themselves.
Three minutes later, the three men were out of danger and reunited with their comrades, each of them being hugged tightly by their comrades.
"Squad leader, Brother Liang, Brother Changning, Sun Ze, Xiaowu..." Xiaoyu kept repeating the names of her comrades, and tears fell uncontrollably.
"Don't cry, you're useless." Squad Leader Fu touched his head and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. This was the first good thing that had happened in the past few months.
The people watching the excitement nearby also breathed a sigh of relief, except for a middle-aged man with glasses and an elderly couple who curled their lips, said nothing, and went back up the mountain.
Squad Leader Fu didn't dare to stay any longer. It was still raining and there was a high possibility of a landslide, so he had to find a stable place to set up camp.
He divided those who could move into three groups, two people in each group, and searched the mountain in three directions. "Don't go too far, try to find a place with a stable mountain structure."
He asked Feng Liang and Xiao Yu to stay and find some branches. Their tent had encountered several crises along the way and was full of holes, so it needed some support.
After everyone dispersed to do their work, the guard found Squad Leader Fu and asked him to report the situation to the army commander.
Squad leader Fu frowned. Everyone's lives were in danger at any time. "I will find a place to camp first and treat the wounded. I will go to see the commander later."
The guard was displeased and was about to open his mouth to reprimand when he was bumped by Feng Liang and stumbled.
