Chapter 334 Earthquake. Sacrifice and Luck
The joint defense team members at the door had no time to close the door and could only link hands to form a human wall to block the attack, but five people still slipped through.
"Don't panic, queue up in an orderly manner."
"Don't rush onto the bridge."
Wang Guan and two other joint defense team members stopped the people who rushed out.
At this moment, the sinking hospital broke free from the rope of the floating bridge. Wang Guan was quick-witted and grabbed the rope with a leap. The huge inertia dragged him more than a meter away, and he was about to fall into the crack in the ground.
"team leader."
The other two team members had no choice but to let go of the person who was blocking them and help the captain hold the rope.
Wang Guan's teeth were almost broken as he tied the rope around his body. With the efforts of three people, the pontoon was finally straightened again.
At this time, there were still seven people on the floating bridge. They had just walked to the middle. The sudden sinking made several people panic. Fortunately, the leading joint defense team member was experienced and asked them all to climb onto the bridge, hold on to the ropes and not move.
As the floating bridge straightened little by little, the little girl among the seven people began to sob uncontrollably.
Niu Li on the other side jumped out of the car and shouted into the loudspeaker, "Pass quickly, Da Liu, bring them over quickly."
Liu received the order and asked the six people to stand up slowly. At the same time, the five people who were not stopped also walked towards the floating bridge.
Niu Li clenched the megaphone tightly and said, "Don't move, people at the back. The floating bridge can't support you. You will die if you go up there."
The leading man paused, his face conflicted. Behind him was the sinking hospital, and in front of him was a dangerous floating bridge only a dozen meters long. There was no danger after the bridge.
"Sister, I'm scared."
Behind the man were two women, one in her forties and the other in her twenties. They had never met each other before and only knew each other's names after being grouped together.
"Don't be afraid, there are joint defense members helping us hold the rope. You who are in front, hurry up and don't waste time."
Wang Guan's face had turned blue due to excessive force, and veins on his forehead and arms were bulging. He had no choice but to wrap the rope around his waist.
He shouted angrily, "You can't go up there. This floating bridge can't support your weight."
The other two team members were unable to speak due to the exertion.
"Back off, back off quickly." Niu Li's angry roar came again from the opposite side, and at the same time, six fully armed joint defense team members were adjusting the hang glider.
“Hurry up, you won’t be able to leave once they get here.” The older woman urged again, “These three won’t let go. This is your last chance.”
The leading man's chest heaved as he finally made a decision. He took a step forward and stepped one foot onto the floating bridge.
"Get out of here."
Niu Li snatched the submachine gun from the team member next to her and pointed the gun at the man on the pontoon.
"Captain, captain, don't get excited." Xiao Jiang next to him was shocked and anxious. Pointing guns at civilians is a taboo for soldiers, but the people on the opposite side were not obedient.
He was so anxious that he kept spinning around and could only urge Hang Glider, "Hurry up, hurry up."
In the crowd, a mother shouted at the top of her lungs, "Don't go up to the bridge, you will kill my daughter."
Others also started talking in low voices, some said they shouldn't have gone up the bridge, others said if a man doesn't take care of himself he will be punished by heaven and earth.
The first man finally stepped onto the pontoon and walked forward. The older woman hurriedly followed him, her face full of joy, she would soon be able to escape from here.
ah--
Squeak——
"Captain..." The team member gritted his teeth and felt that all the bones in his body were dislocated, "I can't hold on any longer."
Wang Guan's face was also grim, the blood vessels in his arms were about to burst, and the wooden stakes under his feet began to shake. "Hold on, hold on."
The remaining three people looked at each other, wanting to go up but not daring to. The two people had already gone two-thirds of the way and were about to meet up with the others.
Da Liu, who was leading the group, wanted to kill them, but he couldn't. He had to lead the people in front of him over as soon as possible to protect the captain.
"Let's go too. I think they can hold on." The young girl said timidly.
The other two men looked at each other and nodded. Several people on the opposite side were about to pass by, and they could not fall behind. The three of them stepped onto the floating bridge one by one.
…
The entire hospital sank half a meter and then stopped, and the whole process took less than 30 seconds.
Chu An, Li Qing and Hua Bi had already rushed to the first floor, but there were too many people in the hall, so they could only wander around the stairs, listening to all kinds of heart-wrenching shouts, which made people feel upset.
Only occasionally could the voices of the joint defense team members be heard, but these people simply turned a deaf ear to them.
Until a louder scream came from the front, about twenty or thirty people screamed at the same time, and then there was silence for a few seconds, and then discussions broke out.
“It fell…it fell.”
“They all fell down.”
A few more gunshots were heard, and the crowd fell silent again.
Chu An didn’t know what was happening ahead, and he couldn’t squeeze through, but he had a bad feeling.
"Hua Bi, go back to the operating room and wait. I'll be back soon."
After Li Qing finished his instructions, he squeezed forward with all his might, "I'll go get a number too, just in case."
Chu An relied on his petite figure and the ability to squeeze forward whenever he saw a gap. Feeling that he was a bit slow, he casually grabbed a handful of willow-leaf darts and stabbed them at the buttocks and waists of the people around him. The people who were stabbed jumped away, but he couldn't see who stabbed him or what they used, so he could only curse.
Chu An squeezed to the front. The human wall had disappeared. The four joint defense team members became two. They charged with guns in hand, their eyes red, and tried their best to press the muzzles down.
But that momentum seemed to be saying, if you dare to rush forward, I will shoot.
Behind them, two armed soldiers were lying on the edge of the crack, looking down, with most of their bodies sticking out.
A section of floating bridge on the opposite side was floating in the crack, and the bottom of the rope fell into darkness.
On the opposite bank, a mother was kneeling on the ground, beating her chest and crying, her child was clearly coming over soon, coming over soon.
“Why…why…”
She grabbed the soil, prostrated herself on the ground, and cried until she vomited blood.
The guard who was holding her felt a little reluctant and turned his head away from looking at her. It was at this moment of relaxation that the mother rolled and crawled to the crack in the ground and jumped down without hesitation.
Her parents and husband are all dead, leaving her with only a daughter to depend on. I went to the hospital to get medicine for her. It was all her fault that she got sick.
Niu Li's eyes were bloodshot and her whole body was shaking with anger. The culprit was obviously dead, but she just couldn't get rid of her hatred. She should have shot earlier.
She tore off the badge on her chest and threw it to the ground angrily. At the last moment, she hesitated because of the military uniform and the responsibility of the badge.
"Captain Niu, Captain, the base commander is here." Xiao Jiang ran over hurriedly.
"What is he doing here?"
"It seems... I heard gunshots."
Niu Li gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Don't worry about him. Repair the pontoon bridge and implement plan B. Send more people to search the cracks."
"Look, is there someone on that stone?"
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted.
