"Quick, everyone, move quickly, the mountain is about to collapse...!"
At this time, in the central area of Lingyun County, that is, under the foot of Lingshan Mountain, the ground shook violently, and a huge crack appeared directly on the southeastern side of Lingshan Mountain, and rocks continued to roll from it.
Falling.
"Go quickly..."
The rescue fighters below quickly asked the rescue team to evacuate, knowing that the mountain was about to collapse.
At the back mountain of Lingshan, where Wan Yunting entered the cave before, Cai Guowu was worried about them and personally led a team to respond. He saw that the time was already ten and twenty minutes in the evening. Due to the crustal movement of Lingshan,
, causing the internal structures of Lingshan to squeeze and begin to tremble like an earthquake.
But this is not a real earthquake yet. According to seismic experts' predictions, a magnitude 5 earthquake will occur around 11 o'clock. However, it is already 10:20 pm, and Nie Xiaoyu and the others do not have much time.
"Everyone, follow up, hurry up..."
At this time, in the cave, Nie Xiaoyu, Gu Xiaozhuang and other soldiers, as well as Huang Jingshan, Wei Renxin and Qi Miaomiao, were urgently evacuating the tunnel digging workers.
There were vibrations on the ground from time to time, and stones kept falling. However, everyone was wearing safety helmets, but some people were still injured by stones. As long as the injuries were not serious, everyone endured it and left here quickly.
…
However, in the underground river inside, Wan Yunting was seen carrying Wang Weicai's body on his back, holding Gu Luotang's hand, and the light of two flashlights shakily shone in their direction in the dark underground river cave.
It's the lower reaches of the underground river...
"ah…"
A stone fell and hit Gu Luotang's left hand. The flashlight fell off and fell to the ground. Wan Yunting immediately stopped and asked nervously: "What's wrong? Let me take a look?"
"It's okay, brother Yunting, just hit him with a rock."
Gu Luotang endured the pain of being hit by a stone on his left arm, quickly picked up the flashlight on the ground, and reluctantly said to Wan Yunting: "Let's leave quickly."
"good."
Wan Yunting nodded and looked at his watch. It was already 10:40, so he pulled Gu Luotang and carried Wang Weicai on his back, and continued to speed up the downstream direction of the underground river...
At this time, the ground vibrations were becoming more and more intense and frequent, but Wan Yunting knew that this was not an earthquake yet. If a real magnitude 5 earthquake came, then the underground river cave in Lingshan Mountain would definitely collapse.
So Wan Yunting wanted to quickly go to the end of the underground river to see if there was an escape route!
Although he knew the hope was slim, after all, when the engineers and workers digging the tunnel were trapped, if they had pressed down on the underground river to find a safe passage, they would have escaped long ago!
But now Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang are trapped here. The only escape direction is the downstream direction of the underground river, and they have to go there...
"Don't worry, everyone will go there one by one..."
At this time, Nie Xiaoyu, Gu Xiaozhuang, Huang Jingshan, Wei Renxin and Qi Miaomiao, along with the tunnel digging workers, had returned to the eight to nine meter wide crack they had encountered before.
Since the rope was still there, Gu Xiaozhuang and his other soldiers immediately took out the pulley equipment and sent the workers to the other side one by one.
At this time, Nie Xiaoyu took out the satellite phone to answer the call, and Cai Guowu's voice immediately came from outside: "Xiaoyu, how are you doing now, and how long until you can come out?"
"Look back to the commander, we can go out in one hour."
Nie Xiaoyu reported.
Cai Guowu said: "You must hurry up. It's almost eleven o'clock and there may be an earthquake at any time. Do you know that?"
Nie Xiaoyu looked at the time on her watch. It was already ten fifty in the evening. She frowned and said, "Commander, we will take them out safely."
"Okay, you speed up. After all, you all come out safely. We will meet you outside the cave. That's it for now."
After speaking, Cai Guowu hung up the phone.
"Sir Nie, let's go over there."
Seeing that Qi Miaomiao and Huang Jingshan had also passed by, Gu Xiaozhuang turned around and said to Nie Xiaoyu. She looked solemn, nodded and led the remaining soldiers over immediately, and then led everyone to speed up the evacuation again...
The earthquake was originally predicted to be at 12 o'clock in the morning, but because the earthquake was suddenly moved an hour earlier, Nie Xiaoyu and the others now had little time to escape.
At this time, Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang...
Bang...
The sound of falling stones and the sound of water splashing from the underground river continued to be heard all around...
The ground began to shake from side to side and tremble, which scared Gu Luotang's pretty face and shouted in panic: "Is there an earthquake?"
Wan Yunting lowered his head and looked at his watch. It was already 11:50 in the evening. According to previous news, the earthquake was more than an hour earlier, which was at this time.
"careful…"
Gu Luotang, who was holding a flashlight, immediately saw a stone as big as a head falling on her head. She immediately pushed Wan Yunting, and the stone hit the ground with a bang. Gu Luotang saw that it did not hit him.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Go quickly."
Wan Yunting, who was carrying Wang Weicai on his back, pulled Gu Luotang away quickly, but she said: "Brother Yunting, why don't you put him down!"
Wan Yunting's expression was startled. Gu Luotang pointed at the body of Wang Weicai he was carrying. Although he felt that it was inappropriate to leave him behind. After all, he had saved his life, but now it was very inconvenient for Wan Yunting to run with him on his back. Even
This might drag him down, so Gu Luotang suggested that Wan Yunting let go of Wang Weicai.
How could Wan Yunting not understand Gu Luotang's concerns? He sighed and pointed to a place in front, "Go to the front."
"good."
Gu Luotang nodded, held a flashlight to illuminate the road, and followed Wan Yunting to the rock wall in front. He placed Wang Weicai's body against the rock wall and sighed: "Xiao Wang, I'm sorry, I can't take you out now.
But don’t worry, if we go out, we will definitely come back to take you out.”
"But if we can't get out, we will come back to accompany you then!"
Gu Luotang, who was standing aside, had a sad face and couldn't help but shed tears. He bowed deeply to Wang Weicai. If he hadn't risked his life to save him, he would have been the one stoned to death.
Bang…
Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently, and an earthquake came.
"Luo Tang, let's leave quickly."
Wan Yunting stood up and grabbed Gu Luotang's right hand, and also took the flashlight from his left hand. The situation was urgent. Now was not the time for them to be sad. They had to find the end of the underground river first to see if they could find an exit.
Now Wan Yunting just wants to take Gu Luotang and escape from here. Living is more important than anything else...
"There's an earthquake, everyone, hurry up...!"
At this time, Nie Xiaoyu, Gu Xiaozhuang and the others also felt that the ground began to shake from side to side, and stones continued to fall from the roof of the cave, and they knew that a real earthquake had begun.
A group of people were also frightened, their faces full of panic and fear, and they ran towards the entrance of the cave as if they were desperate. Even though they were injured, they endured it. Now everyone was thinking about escaping.
In times of crisis, people's potential for escape will burst out. Everyone ran desperately towards the entrance of the cave. During this period, some people were injured by rocks dropped by the earthquake. One worker was even hit in the head and knocked unconscious.
After passing by, Gu Xiaozhuang immediately stepped forward and carried him on his back, constantly urging everyone to run away...
At this time, outside, you can see that the entire mountain begins to shake violently...
People on the ground could feel the earth under their feet shaking from side to side. The violent shaking caused Cai Guowu and the soldiers who were responding outside to have a drastic change in their expressions, and they all evacuated to a safe place...
Cai Guowu looked at the time. It was already eleven thirty. He looked up at the back mountain, in the direction of the entrance to the cave, but he still couldn't see Nie Xiaoyu and the others escaping. He couldn't help but feel nervous.
