As Gong Yi's chances of survival decreased, everyone on the rescue team grew anxious in the rainy night.
However, the rain seemed to be working against them, and it kept getting heavier and heavier.
Hua Mi stood in the rain, feeling intermittent cramps in her lower abdomen, which made her very uncomfortable.
The lifeguard behind me took out several goggles from the tent and asked:
"Sister Hua, is this prepared for us?"
Hua Mi turned around and looked at the goggles that were flashing with seven colors in the lifeguard's hand. She had been so focused on taking out supplies that she hadn't noticed what she had taken out.
Upon seeing the goggles the lifeguard was holding, she immediately nodded.
"Yes, things look quite clear with this."
The lifeguard immediately put on a pair, not caring whether the goggles were cool or not.
In such heavy rain and in such darkness, having goggles that can clear obstructions to the view is an invaluable help to them.
Sometimes, it is this seemingly insignificant little thing that can play the most crucial role at the most critical moment.
In the thick darkness of night, colorful lights flickered as lifeguards put on their goggles one after another.
In the end, everyone realized that they were carrying out the rescue in the middle of the night while wearing goggles and without even using a light source.
The goggles that Sister Hua got were incredibly effective.
Late at night, the first batch of seriously injured patients who were dug out had received initial treatment and were sent back to Xiangcheng by lifeguards.
Gong Yi still hasn't been found.
Hua Mi sat in her tent, clutching her lower abdomen, and unconsciously brought up the control panel of [Apocalypse Supermarket].
She looked at the 8 lottery tickets she still had left and silently prayed:
If she had bad luck her whole life in her past life, then she should have some good luck in this life.
After praying, Hua Mi felt her twitching abdomen slowly subside. She closed her eyes and pressed down, [Lottery X8].
[Gain 12 times the growth rate of the orange tree, limited time: 72 hours]
[Obtained Newborn Onesie X]
[Obtain 10 minivans]
[Obtain 1 Recycling Station]
[Obtain Universal Signal Connector X]
[Received Self-Heating Hot Pot (Dark Wasabi Flavor) X]
[Received 1000 units of folic acid]
[Obtain Xiaochaihu Granules X]
Hua Mi looked through these items one by one. Fortunately, a lot of her level 10 storage had been cleared out, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to fit all this messy stuff in.
She took a liking to the universal signal device, so she flipped her hand and took one out of the level 10 storage.
This universal signal connector looks like a small phone stand, shaped like a miniature Doraemon.
It can be stuck to the back of a phone case and actually used as a phone stand.
Hua Mi put a sticker on her phone and discovered that in this desolate wilderness, her phone signal, which used to be only one or two bars, was now full.
On a whim, she took out her phone and called Gong Yi.
After a brief period of noise, the call connected with crystal-clear sound.
"Hello? Hello? Gong Yi? Are you still alive?"
Hua Mi asked loudly, but it was obvious. Gong Yi could get through on the phone, so how could he not be alive?
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, as if he hadn't expected it himself. In such an environment, surrounded by damp mud and rocks, with his phone soaked in the mud for over ten hours, he was still able to receive a call from Hua Mi.
Gong Yi chuckled, his voice low and slightly hoarse.
"you guess."
I guess you're still alive.
Hua Mi breathed a sigh of relief. Her slightly twitching abdomen also relaxed a bit, and she felt much more comfortable.
"You guessed right."
On the phone, Gong Yi's laughter grew louder, amidst a mass of mud and darkness all around.
Actually, his phone was out of power, but Hua Mi's voice still managed to get through the broken device in his hand.
It was like a ray of salvation in the darkness.
Even though he couldn't see the light and could only hear sounds, it was still an encouragement to him.
"Wait a minute, they are so worried about you and are doing everything they can to save you. You have to hold on, don't die, don't close your eyes."
"Um."
Gong Yi responded, but what he didn't say was that he wasn't afraid of death, but rather of being trapped and dying without any hope.
But now he felt much better because Hua Mi told him that he hadn't been abandoned and that his buddies were putting all their effort into digging him out.
All he had to do was wait where he was.
Hua Mi leaned against a pile of supplies, one arm protecting her lower abdomen, the other holding her phone.
At this moment, she didn't know what to say. Actually, knowing that Gong Yi was still alive was enough, but having finally gotten through to Gong Yi on the phone, Hua Mi didn't want to hang up.
So she asked again:
Is it dark in there?
"black."
Gong Yi's voice came through the phone. After a pause, he asked in return,
"You seem to care about me a lot?"
Hua Mi remained silent. At this moment, in this atmosphere, in this tone, and on this topic, things were a bit dangerous.
But if I hang up, I don't know if I'll be able to get through to Gong Yi again.
Coincidentally, Gong Yi didn't want to hang up either.
He showed a rare moment of leisure and asked:
"Actually, I'm quite curious, do you really not remember me, or are you pretending not to remember me?"
"What?"
Hua Mi didn't understand where the big shot's grievance came from, so she asked...
"I've always been curious too, where did we meet before?"
"3302, remember that?"
