Finally, when the space was large enough to accommodate two people, Chen Shuning couldn't wait to step out of the space and join He Chaoyang in cleaning it up.
Fortunately, the location they entered was very close to the cabinet where the child was, which greatly reduced the effort and time needed to find a suitable hiding place.
After careful consideration, He Chaoyang, with his keen observation skills, carefully selected a triangular area cleverly constructed from two overturned precast slabs.
This unique design not only provides a relatively spacious area, but more importantly, it effectively conceals their presence, avoiding unnecessary attention.
In this small corner, the two clung to each other, feeling each other's warmth and comfort.
Despite the still dangerous surroundings, they firmly believed that as long as the two of them were together, there was no difficulty they could not overcome.
At this moment, as the aftershocks subsided, those involved in the rescue efforts were shocked to discover that the passageway had been buried, and their hearts were filled with anxiety. In particular, the troops led by He Chaoyang, from ordinary soldiers to officers of all ranks, were doing their utmost to desperately dig out the soil and rocks covering the passageway.
With only one and a half stories of the building collapsed, and without large tools, it's not so easy to dig through.
The PLA soldiers worked in shifts for five hours to dig the tunnel open. When they saw the two people huddled under the precast concrete slab, everyone breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Because of this aftershock, the one and a half floors that were originally on top of the first floor collapsed, and the cabinet where the lucky child was hiding was dug out by the People's Liberation Army soldiers.
At this point, all the survivors of the machinery factory's residential building who were buried have been rescued.
After this incident, Chen Shuning stopped staying in the temporary hospital to help out and instead went to various rescue sites. She realized that what she could do at the rescue site was far more important than helping to bandage wounds in the hospital, and it could also save more people.
Three days later, as the critical 72 hours for rescue passed, fewer and fewer survivors were being pulled from the rubble, as people looked at the bodies of those who had perished due to the lack of timely rescue.
Although the People's Liberation Army and the people who spontaneously participated in the rescue have worked very hard, day and night, everyone's hearts are still filled with regret and self-blame.
Faced with a city devastated, people did not give up the rescue efforts and continued to tirelessly search for traces of life in the ruins.
