Chapter 862: Digging a Tunnel
Several natives looked at each other, and one of them slowly said, "We think we can dig another passage to rescue them..."
Upon hearing this, Nie Yao whispered, "It's not impossible, but this place has collapsed before, and I'm afraid that digging another passage will cause it to collapse again!"
"I just observed it. The reason this place collapsed is because it's hollow underneath. But the stone wall on the other side makes a dull sound, which means it's not hollow..."
"Yes, Miss Nie, when we dug the well before, various situations also occurred. When a member of our tribe got into trouble before, we also used this method!"
After hearing their analysis, Nie Yao felt that their practical experience was richer than hers, so she quickly told the police and rescue workers exactly what they said.
The group discussed in low voices for a while and agreed that this method was feasible. They began to instruct the uninjured excavators to start digging a rescue passage.
Two aboriginals also volunteered to go down and rescue the people. Nie Yao thought about it and agreed to their proposal. She whispered to them, "You must pay attention to safety. Saving people is important, but your own safety is also important. Otherwise, if something happens to you, I won't be able to explain to Li Jinxing!"
"Don't worry, Miss Nie. We finally found His Highness. Nothing will happen like this..." The two natives made a righteous promise to Nie Yao and began to work together with the rescue workers.
Nie Yao did not leave the scene either. She stayed where she was, anxiously waiting for the rescue results.
Hour after hour passed, and the tunnel was finally dug. Several rescue workers and indigenous people finally managed to go down, found the trapped workers, and responded to the higher-ups.
Almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief, pulling the ropes and carefully allowing the rescuers to carry the trapped workers out. Until the last injured worker was rescued and confirmed to be still alive, there was a burst of intense applause at the scene.
"Great! No one's injured..." The leading sheriff was almost in tears. He quickly shook Nie Yao's hand and said excitedly, "Miss Nie, you are truly our lucky star. The rescue plan you proposed really saved everyone trapped down there!"
Nie Yao smiled faintly, a heavy weight on her heart finally falling to the ground. She whispered comfortingly, "The credit isn't mine. It's everyone who saved them. It was these indigenous people who came up with the idea and went down to rescue them. They deserve credit!"
"Yes, yes, we will definitely commend their heroic behavior!" The sheriff nodded quickly, then walked over and thanked these indigenous people sincerely.
Although there was still some language barrier, they could roughly understand each other by gestures. These indigenous people were a little embarrassed by the praise and kept waving their hands and saying it was nothing.
By the time the injured were loaded onto the ambulance, it was almost dawn. Nie Yao smiled at the aboriginals and said, "We're really grateful to you all for today. You've been tired all night. Go back and rest up. Get a good night's sleep. There's no need to rush back to the scene. I'll give you a day off!"
Several natives waved their hands and replied respectfully, "This is what we should do. This is the burial place of Her Majesty the Queen. We will not watch an accident happen. Moreover, we cannot disgrace Her Majesty's mission!"
