Chapter 248 Danger



After Gu Chengfeng led the team away, the first and second teams responsible for leading the people to retreat began to prepare. After everyone had eaten, they could set off immediately.

Wang Xiaohu brought Su Nuan a steamed bun and handed it to her.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up and eat something, we will be ready to go down the mountain soon."

"Oh, okay."

Su Nuan pinched the steamed bun in her hand and stuffed it into her mouth absentmindedly.

Ten minutes later, after everyone had packed up, the main group prepared to go down the mountain. The soldiers were the ones exploring the way ahead and those covering the rear.

The common people walked in the middle, and Su Nuan found Wang Xiaohu to explain her thoughts.

After hearing that Su Nuan planned to stay, Wang Xiaohu was surprised for a moment, then immediately shook his head to refuse.

"Sister-in-law, please don't embarrass me. If the captain knew, he would tear my skin off. Let's go down the mountain."

"Xiao Hu, your sister-in-law said, I've been panicking. I'm worried that something might have happened to your captain. So, let the main force go first, and we'll go take a look and make sure he's safe before we go down the mountain..."

"But...sister-in-law..."

"Don't worry about it, let's hurry up and go back quickly, okay?"

Wang Xiaohu really couldn't resist Su Nuan's nagging and could only nod and agree.

"Sister-in-law, we agreed to take a look and then leave."

"It's agreed."

After saying that, Su Nuan pulled Wang Xiaohu and walked towards the direction where Gu Chengfeng led the team away.

In fact, Su Nuan was very unsure. She knew that she was being willful this time, but she was really worried. After she was sure that she was not overthinking, she would go down the mountain and wait for Gu Chengfeng and others to come back.

After walking for about ten minutes, the two found Gu Chengfeng and his group. The missing little boy was also found. When Gu Chengfeng was ordering people to send the little boy down the mountain, everyone heard the faint cry of a baby.

At first, we didn't pay attention and thought we had heard it wrong. Then, a few more sounds were heard intermittently. Only then did we confirm that it was indeed the sound of a baby crying.

Su Nuan felt that this scene was familiar. After trying hard to recall it, she remembered that the nightmare she had on the day Gu Chengfeng left coincided with the current situation.

The same snowy ruins, the same crying baby.

She knew that after confirming that it was a baby crying, Gu Chengfeng would not give up on saving people. However, once the child was rescued, Gu Chengfeng and the soldiers would most likely be buried by the second collapse of the building.

Su Nuan couldn't bear it any longer, she came out from behind the wall and shouted.

"Cheng Feng, don't go anywhere"

Gu Chengfeng was surprised to hear Su Nuan's voice.

"Wife, why haven't you left yet? Wang Xiaohu, how do you do things?"

"Captain, I..."

"Okay, I'm coming. I'm worried about you, so I came to see you. Don't blame Xiaohu."

Hearing Su Nuan's words, Gu Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Su Nuan, what's going on? What are you doing? Don't you know how dangerous this place is?"

"I know, Cheng Feng, listen to me, the place where the baby's crying came from is at risk of a second collapse, you..."

Gu Chengfeng knew what Su Nuan had not finished saying, but he was now a member of the People's Liberation Army. He could not give up his life for his own safety when he knew that someone was waiting for him to rescue him. He could not do it.

"Wife, I know what you mean. Don't worry, I will pay attention to safety. I can't give up on that child. He is still alive and he is waiting for me to save him."

Gu Chengfeng's determined eyes finally shattered Su Nuan's expectations. She understood him, but for the sake of that child, several lives might be sacrificed. This time, she wanted to be selfish.

"Gu Chengfeng, do you know that if a second collapse occurs, not only will the child be unsalvageable, but you and your brothers who are trying to rescue him will also lose their lives. Is it worth it?"

Gu Chengfeng couldn't answer Su Nuan's words for a moment, but he just lowered his head and looked at the national flag on his chest, and said in a deep voice after a long time.

"I don't know if it's worth it. If I know someone is waiting for me to save them, but I don't go, I'd be sorry for the uniform, sorry for the country, and sorry for the people."

Su Nuan asked with tears in her eyes.

"Then can you be worthy of me?"

"Nuannuan, I'm sorry, but..."

"Okay, no need to say more, go ahead, I'll wait here for you to come back safely"

Gu Chengfeng said nothing. With red eyes, he stood still and saluted Su Nuan, then waved his hand and led his men to the ruins to search and rescue.

Wang Xiaohu stood aside and was about to go forward to lend a hand, but Su Nuan stopped him.

"Xiaohu, help your sister-in-law..."

"Sister-in-law, you say..."

"Do you see the houses on the other side of the ruins that haven't collapsed yet?"

"I see. What's wrong?"

"Look, the beams over there can't hold up much longer. They're in danger of collapsing at any moment. If they do, the comrades searching nearby will most likely be buried. Do you understand me?"

“I know, but what should I do?”

Su Nuan was at a loss for a moment. She scanned the surroundings but found nothing. She suddenly became anxious. She thought of the system, thinking that maybe it had some solution.

"Tongzi, do you have any ideas?"

"Host, you can purchase Structural Mechanics skill points to find support points that can hold up the house from collapsing. Place beams somewhere to support the house, and perhaps prevent a second collapse."

"Buy advanced construction mechanics skills from me"

"Ding, purchase of advanced construction mechanics skills successful"

Soon, many mechanical principles and architectural knowledge entered Su Nuan's brain.

At this time, Su Nuan looked at the surrounding houses, and the architectural angles could be automatically converted in her eyes.
