Chapter 301

"Boom—"

An aftershock struck, a mountain-shaking tremor.

Shen Man only felt dizzy, immediately lay down, and pressed her whole body against the ground, clutching the nearest medical kit.

"Lie down!"

"Everyone lie down!"

"Whoosh—"

Whistles and instructions from unknown directions were endless.

In the face of natural disasters, humans appeared very small.

She didn't know how long had passed when the ground stopped trembling, and that feeling of tinnitus and weightlessness finally disappeared.

Everyone climbed up from every corner of the ruins, checked the instruments and equipment, and confirmed the safety of their teammates.

Shen Man patted the dust off her head, not in the mood to manage her image, and scanned the circle, finally fixing on the school ruins that had sunk into the ground again.

That flag was almost invisible.

Terrible, this aftershock was like tearing another wound on the already scarred mouth. The safety of the survivors and the people who came to rescue...

No, nothing will happen.

The purple qi on her husband's body was still incredibly thick; he was a person of great luck and would not be in life-threatening danger!

In fact, Jiang Ye led the team deep into the ruins. Just as he dug open a ruin with a faint breath of life, he was met with an aftershock.

There was no time to think. He let others quickly find cover to hide, and he alone drilled into the ruin cave.

The thick stench of corpses intertwined with other strange smells. Under the ruins, there was still a faint cry for help.

Rubble fell on his body, and a sense of weightlessness struck...

More than ten minutes later, the aftershock stopped.

Jiang Ye turned on his flashlight and saw a scene he would never forget—

Ahead, a blood-stained figure was lying on a desk in a "big" shape, the skull already shattered, unrecognizable. Only by the clothes on the body could he judge that the other party should be a teacher.

"Help, help."

"Mom, I'm in so much pain."

"Woooo, I'm so scared."

"Teacher Ge, Teacher Ge, are you okay?"

Under the desk, the sobbing sounds of two children rang out.

They didn't know at all that their teacher, in order to protect them, had used their flesh and blood body to finally beg for a glimmer of life for them.

Jiang Ye quickly turned off the flashlight, rolled his Adam's apple, suppressed the rising emotions, and silently tucked the flashlight into his pants pocket.

"Little friends, I am a military uncle. I have come to save you. Don't be afraid, I will take you out."

In the darkness, Jiang Ye bypassed obstacles, overcame all difficulties, came to the side of this great teacher, and saluted solemnly.

Then he moved the teacher's body aside, silently reciting in his heart, "Sir, go all the way well. I will take the students you protected with your life to safety and get rescue."

"Military uncle? Military uncle, how is Teacher Ge?"

"He, he is tired and wants to rest for a while.

He asked me to save you first. Drink some water first, can you still walk? If not, I will carry you..."

Instinctively, Jiang Ye chose a white lie.

"Thank you, military uncle. I'll drink some water, I can walk by myself."

"I can too."

The two children's originally fearful and hesitant moods, upon hearing "military uncle," felt as if power had been injected into their bodies.

Teacher Ge said that military uncles would come to save them, so they must wait for the military uncles to come, and then they must listen to the military uncles.

They were obedient. They didn't know what had happened, only that what Teacher Ge said must be right.

Jiang Ye unscrewed the cap of the water bottle at his waist, fed water to both children, and then broke off a piece of the compressed biscuits his wife had prepared for him and stuffed it into their mouths.

"This is compressed biscuit. Hold it in your mouth slowly, swallow it slowly. I will carry you out first, bypass the obstacles, and then climb out of the ruins together."

"Mm-hmm."

"Okay."

The two children had long been dizzy with hunger. After drinking water, they felt much more energetic.

Now the military uncle had stuffed biscuits into their mouths again, and they felt alive and had strength!

Just like that, Jiang Ye bypassed Teacher Ge's body, took the two children, and painstakingly searched for an exit, sending the two children out of the ruins...

The flat ground where Shen Man was located had already been set up with tents.

The wounded were sent one after another, and the medical staff were already busy.

As for the corpses, they were placed in another sheltered place, waiting to be processed.

When Jiang Ye handed the two children to his wife, he replenished some water, simply explained the situation of the two children he found, and turned to invest in the most dangerous rescue again...

"Beautiful sister, did that military uncle go to rescue our Teacher Ge?"

"Beautiful sister, where are the other classmates in our class? Were they saved?"

Facing the inquiries of the two seven or eight-year-old children, not only did Shen Man's Adam's apple roll, as if blocked, but other medical staff were also the same.

They didn't know how to answer. Say yes?

But the situation was severe. I'm afraid those people had long ago...

How cruel this was for small children.

This kind of miserable experience and guilt would accompany them for a lifetime.

In the end, a survivor answered:

"Military comrades are working very hard to search for survivors. We, we should be obedient here and wait, not adding burden to the military comrades."

"Okay, I will be obedient. My dad and mom will definitely come to pick me up and take me home."

"I will also be obedient. Teacher Ge said I got first place in the whole class this time, so he wouldn't give me homework for the summer vacation."

The two children still didn't understand what life and death separation was, only knowing that they were successfully saved. Listen to the teacher, listen to the military uncle, listen to the adults, and everything would be fine.

The medical staff on the scene silently turned their heads, not letting the children discover the strangeness of their red and swollen eyes.

A survivor with a broken leg covered his eyes with one hand and shed tears silently.

He was a villager near the school. The whole village, at the moment of the earthquake, had the ground split open into a big mouth, directly swallowing the village!

He escaped a disaster because he was grazing.

But he was at a high place and saw this scene with his own eyes, saw the whole village disappear!

His family, his relatives and friends, in an instant, all...

He didn't want to live anymore, wishing he could jump directly into the gully left by the earthquake and die with his relatives.

It was the military who discovered he was seeking death and told him not to rush to find death, but to rescue first, help them together, and save people!

Saving one could save a family.

So, he participated in the rescue day and night, without sleep or rest.

The aftershock just now caused his leg to be pierced by a fallen steel bar, and it broke.

Broken, let it be broken. Anyway, he didn't want to live anymore.

However, why, after hearing what the two children said, why couldn't he control himself and wanted to cry?

Nothing is more sorrowful than a dead heart. Why was his heart still so uncomfortable?
