Chen Shuning was busy and nervous. She packed the stones she dug out into a bamboo basket while carefully observing the situation outside. When she was sure no one was around, she would quietly throw the soil and stones that He Chaoyang had dug out into her spatial storage.
Time passed second by second, and He Chaoyang's digging speed was astonishing. Chen Shuning could barely keep up with his pace even with all his might.
She knew that this was not only a rescue race against time, but also a redemption of life.
Just as Chen Shuning used the last of his strength to finally move the seventh basket of heavy stones out, He Chaoyang had just finished digging the passage to the location of the trapped people.
The trapped child was a three-year-old boy. When the earthquake struck, his parents did not hesitate to put him in the closet.
Perhaps it was because of the cabinet's sturdiness, and the fact that a fallen precast concrete slab happened to cover the top of the cabinet, thus creating a relatively safe area, that the child hiding inside was fortunate enough to survive to this day.
However, because the cabinet door was tightly pressed down by the precast slab, a three-year-old child was trapped inside and unable to escape on his own.
After experiencing despair and panic, the child, who had been trapped inside the cupboard, either fainted from shock or fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion after crying, remaining completely silent until now.
Perhaps the noise from the rescue earlier was a bit too loud, which startled the child and allowed the rescuers to quickly detect the faint cries. They followed the sound and eventually found the child's hiding place.
Just as He Chaoyang was about to enter the child's location to break down the cabinet door tightly pressed down by the precast concrete slab and rescue the child trapped inside, the ground suddenly began to shake violently again.
The building, which was already swaying and on the verge of collapse, collapsed completely after a loud bang during the shaking.
The moment the earth began to tremble, Chen Shuning grabbed He Chaoyang without hesitation, and with a thought, the two entered the space together.
