He tentatively asked, "Shuning, can you collect objects from outside your space? If it's possible, why don't you try collecting those stones from outside into your space?"
Chen Shuning's space was supposed to collect items through her thoughts, but she had never actually tried to collect things from the outside world within her space.
But if it were truly feasible, it would undoubtedly be an excellent way to save himself. So Chen Shuning hurriedly concentrated his mental energy, staring intently at a small rock outside that seemed unlikely to cause a secondary collapse, and activated his mental power.
Then Chen Shuning had a stone in his hand.
Seeing that the method really worked, Chen Shuning excitedly threw herself into He Chaoyang's arms and exclaimed, "Honey, look, it really works! We can go out now and save that child!"
He Chaoyang was not as optimistic as Chen Shuning. Although he knew that his wife's space was large enough to store all the stones in the vicinity without any problem, there were quite a few people outside at the moment. If she stored too many, it would be easy to give herself away.
So he hurriedly said, "Shuning, I can't see the specific situation outside right now, but you'd better try to pick the stones that are closer to the children to collect."
Of course, we shouldn't take too much; just enough to create a small space that can accommodate the two of us is fine.
Ideally, this space should be located close to where the child is, so that we can easily observe the child's condition at any time.
Logically, the child should be fine for now since he has been hiding in the closet. However, we should still keep an eye on whether the child in the closet is experiencing oxygen deprivation.
"The space doesn't need to be too big; just enough for the two of us to hide in."
Now that a solution has been found, it's better to act sooner rather than later, since they also need to guard against aftershocks and collapses that could occur at any time.
So after listening to He Chaoyang's words, Chen Shuning immediately did as he was told and began to slowly collect the cement bricks outside.
However, retrieving external items from inside the space is by no means easy, especially since one must constantly monitor whether retrieving cement bricks will cause a collapse.
Moreover, collecting things from outside the space is an extremely energy-consuming task, so even after collecting only a small area, Chen Shuning was already dizzy and lightheaded.
Moreover, before the two of them could leave, Chen Shuning had to constantly keep an eye on the child's situation, which consumed even more of her mental energy.
And so, Chen Shuning busied herself in the space, but she had to stop and rest for a while after collecting some items, because if she didn't stop, she would feel dizzy, nauseous and vomit.
He Chaoyang felt sorry for his wife's hard work, and he understood that the passage outside could not be dug open so quickly.
Whenever he noticed that Chen Shuning's expression was slightly off, he would not hesitate to force her to stop what she was doing and let her rest before continuing.
When he learned that the space dug out outside was only big enough for one person to squat in, He Chaoyang did not hesitate to ask Chen Shuning to send him out first.
"I'll go out first!" He Chaoyang said firmly. "If I go out and dig directly, it will be much faster than you collecting bricks and stones inside. That way, we can get out sooner. We're trapped inside, so I'm sure the people outside will dig as quickly as possible."
He knew the soldiers he had trained best. He Chaoyang knew that if he was buried underground, those guys outside would definitely try their best to dig him out.
Therefore, they also need to speed things up.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Shuning nodded. She knew now was not the time to be stubborn.
With a thought from Chen Shuning, He Chaoyang appeared outside the space in the small space that Chen Shuning had just dug out. Inside the space, Chen Shuning still worriedly warned, "Be careful!"
They also went out with a bamboo basket to hold stones and a lighting device.
He Chaoyang curled up, squeezing into the cramped space with difficulty.
He silently picked up one collapsed cement brick after another and put them into a bamboo basket.
Each time he raised and lowered his arm, it was so strenuous, but he dared not relax for a moment.
At this moment, Chen Shuning, who was inside the space, was not at ease either.
She not only had to keep a close eye on the children's safety, but also on He Chaoyang's situation.
Because aftershocks could occur at any time, Chen Shuning had to be prepared to immediately pull He Chaoyang back inside should any danger arise.
She watched He Chaoyang's tall but slightly disheveled figure with nervousness, praying in her heart that everything would be alright.
Time passed slowly, and He Chaoyang cleared away the surrounding obstacles little by little, like an ant carrying food.
He carefully moved the bamboo basket full of bricks to a safe place, waiting for Chen Shuning to come out before putting the items into his spatial storage together.
Chen Shuning, however, was completely focused on observing He Chaoyang's condition outside. Seeing his tall and upright body huddled in the narrow and cramped space, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable pang of sorrow and heartache.
So whenever He Chaoyang's basket was full, she would use her special ability without hesitation to put the bamboo basket directly into her space, even though it would make her head spin.
As time went by, this tacit cooperation became more and more skillful and smooth, and the space between them gradually expanded without them even realizing it.
At the same time, He Chaoyang's work became increasingly smooth.
