Mengmeng always felt an eerie sensation while eating, after all, she was currently under the ground, and who knows what kind of filthy things might be lurking around.
The more Mengmeng thought about it, the more scared she became, so she simply took out her phone and began watching the cartoons she had downloaded.
With the cartoons to watch, Mengmeng’s fearful heart finally began to calm down gradually.
Thus, an incredibly bizarre scene unfolded underground.
A girl who looked like a minor, though currently trapped beneath the earth, was incredibly composed.
She laughed heartily at the cartoons while eating instant noodles, as if at that moment she wasn’t underground but in a luxurious five-star hotel.
So my arrival is for you to enjoy a day tour underground?
Gu Zhihan and others were still digging tirelessly above.
They had switched from digging by hand to using shovels and tools.
After about ten meters, the life detector in the hands of the rescuers suddenly picked up a signal.
"The life detector is getting a signal!" the rescuer shouted, quickly moving the device closer to the abandoned mine.
"There is a life form twenty meters underground."
"The reason the life detector didn’t pick it up before is probably because the life form was too deep underground," explained the rescuer.
Hearing this, Gu Zhihan was so overjoyed he nearly burst into tears, and he started digging even more vigorously, "Mengmeng must still be alive!"
"Exactly! Let’s dig faster!"
Jiang Yibai was also extremely excited.
The rescue team members immediately joined in the digging.
They started with a digger, but later switched to hand digging because they were worried the machinery might accidentally harm the person underground.
Mengmeng could already feel the soil above her head continuously leaking down.
However, she didn’t take it seriously, thinking there was another earthquake above.
After sighing, she continued to watch her cartoons.
So, when Gu Zhihan and the others finally dug down to Mengmeng, they saw the girl leisurely snacking and watching TV underground.
"Ouch!" Suddenly a bright light pierced in, and Mengmeng instinctively covered her eyes with her hand. It took her a while to get used to the brightness, then she gently moved her fingers aside, blinking her dry eyes at the crowd.
With just one look, she saw Gu Zhihan, looking disheveled.
The young girl immediately shouted with joy, originally trying to get up, but her legs had gone numb from sitting, and as soon as she tried, she fell back down again.
Just when she thought she was going to fall flat on her face, a strong arm had already caught her steadily.
The man hugged the grimy young girl tightly, his voice full of joy and a sob, as if he’d found something precious that was lost.
Although it had only been a short half-day, it felt like an eternity to him.
While digging, he thought if she were gone, what meaning would the rest of his long life have.
Maybe he might as well follow her.
"Don’t cry, you," Mengmeng hurried to tip-toe and wipe his tears, teasing him on purpose, "Look, there are so many people here!"
"What do I care about them for," Gu Zhihan hugged her tight again.
Do they think we are radishes and cabbages?
Soon, the doctor arrived with the stretcher.
"I’m fine," Mengmeng quickly said.
