"What should we do then? Just let him stay buried?"
Nianyang felt her heart tighten. She hadn’t realized how dangerous Li Tingyan’s situation was.
He’s such a smart person. When he jumped in to save people, he must have calculated that if there was a collapse below, it would be tough to dig out. Yet, he still went in without hesitation, completely disregarding his own life!
Even though she knew this was Li Tingyan’s duty, Nianyang was still so angry. Why does this fool always have to rush into everything!
There are so many people here, it’s always like this, why must it be him? His last life was already hard enough. Why does heaven torture him like this?
Liang Baoguo sighed, "Right now, we can only use excavators to slowly pry away some of the debris ahead and behind.
Then, our people have brought sensing equipment on their way. Once Li Tingyan’s position is confirmed, we can start the excavation. For now, we just have to wait!"
Nianyang bit her lip, "Wait, how long do we have to wait? Can he even wait any longer?"
"Comrade Gu Nianyang, I’m sorry. All we can say is that we’ll make our best effort to get Li Tingyan out, but we can’t give you a definitive answer!"
After Liang Baoguo finished speaking, he went down with Chu Zhan, while Nianyang sat down helplessly on the ground. She looked at the ruins below, surrounded by rain, thinking of Li Tingyan buried underneath, her heart aching.
She was so scared, afraid he was cold, afraid he was in pain, afraid he was hurt, afraid he was hungry. He is strong, but he’s not made of iron. He’s a living, breathing person. How can any living person endure being buried under concrete?
Nianyang had experienced earthquake rescue missions in a past life. She was a doctor then and had witnessed victims crushed beneath debris.
Some had their legs broken, some were torn to shreds, some were blinded, and some were hit on the head and became vegetative!
She was so afraid Li Tingyan would end up missing limbs, wishing she had superpowers to wave her hand and save him!
"Nianyang, don’t be sad. Coach Li will definitely be fine. Let’s stand over there; sitting here you might get hit by cement stones!"
Shi Nuan held an umbrella over Nianyang and reached out to help her up.
"Nuannuan, don’t bother me. I want to wait here. I will wait for him to come out. It’s so dark down there; if I’m not with him, he will surely be upset!"
Nianyang wiped her tears and lay on the ground, cupping her hands around her mouth, shouting,
"Li Tingyan, Li Tingyan, are you okay? Can you hear me? I’ve come to find you!"
There was so much noise around, Nianyang’s voice was like an egg hitting a stone, creating no ripple, but she wouldn’t give up.
"Li Tingyan, where are you? Why aren’t you answering me? You promised to return safely. You can’t lie. You need to be okay for me!"
"You bastard, you’re always so reckless, ignoring my words. I’m so angry now. When you get rescued, you’re done for!"
"Li Tingyan, can you at least respond to me? You coax me every time I’m upset. Why aren’t you speaking this time? Are you thinking of breaking up with me?"
By the end, Nianyang’s voice was hoarse, she could barely make a sound.
