Chapter 171 contains something resembling a crisis warning.
Seemingly knowing that Nan Ke would definitely refuse, Tu Yao immediately looked at him again:
"Second brother, I have a way to find eldest brother. Since he went back to rescue those two workers, they must be together or not far away."
"We can't delay any longer; I'm afraid they could be in danger at any moment."
Tu Yao's tone was exceptionally firm: "Second Brother, Xiao Chi, believe me, I really can find them!"
Xu Chi's gaze was deep, and Tu Yao's tone was exceptionally firm.
Just like last night when she was certain that if she could go back eighteen years, she could save Jiang Fengchun's family.
He said directly, "You don't need to look for anyone else. Your second brother and I will go with you. Once you find them, you can call the rescue team anytime."
Tu Yao looked at Nan Ke and asked softly, "Brother, is it okay? I don't want to leave."
Nan Ke opened his mouth, then nodded in resignation: "...Okay."
Originally, after he had Xu Chi take Tu Yao away, he planned to go and find her himself.
Since he is like this, how can you ask his sister to leave?
Tu Yao immediately looked up and glanced at the faint progress bar again.
Unbeknownst to her, her life progress bar seemed to have become her brothers' life progress bar as well.
She took a deep breath and turned to leave.
Just like before, the number, which had been fluctuating around 20, gradually increased...
Xu Chi's eyes flickered slightly.
Under normal circumstances, Tu Chaoxi and several workers should have been buried in the area of the secondary collapse, so most of the rescuers searched according to the location of the secondary collapse.
But Tu Yao didn't hesitate at all and went directly in the opposite direction with a clear goal.
It's like knowing that Tu Chaoxi definitely isn't there...
...
In an area spanning several thousand square meters, broken bricks and tiles and steel structures broken into pieces can be seen everywhere.
Would ordinary bricks and tiles break like this...?
Tu Yao frowned, took another step forward, and suddenly...
[Progress Bar Announcement - 1]
The value, which had recovered to 28, suddenly dropped another place.
Tu Yao immediately stopped.
Nan Ke frowned slightly: "What's wrong? Did you bump into something?"
Tu Yao shook her head: "I'm not injured, Second Brother, don't worry."
It's time to change direction.
She tentatively took a step to the left.
[Progress Bar Announcement - 1]
They quickly changed direction again.
[Progress Bar Announcement +1]
"Second Brother, Xiao Chi, come this way!"
This time she moved very fast, because the progress bar kept going up along this direction!
It kept rising until it reached 50.
After that, no matter which direction she walked, the progress bar would go backward.
Does that mean her brother is nearby?
Realizing this, Tu Yao froze on the spot.
She slowly raised her head.
Before her was still a vast expanse of ruins; she had reached the very edge of the entire base.
The location of the secondary collapse was more than 20 meters away.
This should be... the end of the teaching building corridor.
Tu Yao took a deep breath, turned around, and said in a trembling voice, "...Second Brother, Xiao Chi, over here."
Xu Chi looked at her intently: "You mean, Teacher Tu is right down here."
"Yes, right here!"
Tu Yao nodded repeatedly, her tone unusually tinged with anxiety: "It's here, it must be here!"
"Okay, no rush, I'll call someone right away."
Rescue workers arrived quickly.
The upper layer of bricks and tiles was cleared away bit by bit, and the rescue workers then worked together to move the huge stones...
Tu Yao subconsciously looked up at the top of her head, the light in her eyes gradually widening.
The progress bar, which was going backwards no matter what I did, is now starting to rise little by little again!
...
Xu Chi watched her intently the entire time.
I recall the scene of Tu Yao searching for someone.
She didn't seem to know exactly where Tu Chaoxi was.
If he didn't misjudge, what tool was she using to probe and determine Teacher Tu's location?
Cheng Sangsang just said that it was Tu Yao who suddenly warned them of the danger on the screen, which allowed her and most of the workers to successfully avoid it.
So... does she have something like a crisis warning on her?
To be more precise, it only involves Tu Chaoxi... no, it should also include Nan Ke...
Xu Chi glanced at Nan Ke without showing any emotion. If he remembered correctly, this wasn't the first time Tu Yao had warned of danger today.
The last time was in Crane Village, when she was video chatting with Nan Ke, she also reminded him that he had avoided a crisis.
So... is Lin Yue also there?
Whenever the safety of the three brothers is involved... she will have a danger warning on her?
Xu Chi frowned deeply... it still seemed too shallow...
He was about to continue thinking when, a second later, the rescuers suddenly shouted with delight, "Quick! Come here! There really is someone down there!"
"Can you hear me?!"
Several muffled, soft tapping sounds immediately came from below!
Tu Yao quickly took a few steps forward, her eyes fixed on the ground.
Rescuers pried open several broken stone slabs bit by bit, and a few minutes later, they pried out a one-meter-long circular object.
Only then did they discover that there was a huge depression under the thick stone slab.
Tu Chaoxi and two workers were inside!
Tu Yao wanted to go over, but fearing she would disturb the rescue work, she quickly took a few steps back.
Two rescuers who were nearby immediately pulled her up, saying, "It's okay. Given this terrain, we have to start digging from the other side."
They knew it was Tu Yao's doing; the little girl was quite calm and composed, and found the place without panicking.
...
Underground, Tu Chaoxi and two other workers leaned against each other, all suffering from various injuries.
The two workers looked at him apologetically: "We're so sorry, you fell down while trying to save us."
Tu Chaoxi waved her hand dismissively, "It's alright, we were just lucky."
He originally thought that this was the day he was going to die.
Unexpectedly, during the second collapse, the foundation collapsed into a large depression that was a full two meters deep.
He fell in with two other workers and groped his way to this spot.
Even more fortunately, several stable triangular faces were formed around it.
Tu Chaoxi wasn't worried about falling in. He wasn't alone now; he had a younger brother and sister, and he knew they would do everything in their power to find him.
It's just a matter of how long it takes.
So even though he was the most seriously injured, he still had the energy to comfort the other two workers.
Sure enough, not long after, someone found them.
But when he looked up and saw Tu Yao for the first time, his already pale face turned even darker.
He cursed weakly, "...Tu Xiaomao! What are you doing here!"
Tu Yao lay prone at the cave entrance, staring at him without moving.
Tu Chaoxi raised an eyebrow: "What? Scared stiff? Not saying anything?"
Tu Yao finally opened her mouth, "Brother..."
After uttering just one word, Tu Yao, who had remained calm throughout the entire ordeal of seeing the ruins, could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
