Three pitch-black metal dragonflies hovered mid-air, their gentle yet indifferent mechanical voices resounded throughout the entire venue, prompting everyone present who could spare a moment to involuntarily look up, staring wide-eyed at the incredible thing silently rotating and starting to emit a red glow.
"Connect the screen, real-time broadcast," Chu River instructed from the side. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel[f]ire.net
The next second, the TV screen, with spider-like cracks at the corners, suddenly flickered with lines, and then clearly connected to the venue’s entire scan map.

The 120-inch large screen was enough for everyone to see clearly, and the screen suddenly split into three evenly divided screens, each showing a slightly different perspective.
Subsequently, the three rescue dragonflies quickly dispersed, with two darting upward to search elsewhere.
Only one remained in the center of the venue, flashing red light incessantly from below, while the images on the screen continuously updated.
The atmosphere was filled with tension and hope.
The captain was gaping, unable to believe the images presented on the screen were real!
Underneath the stones before him, a person was trapped.
Two meters underground ahead, a couple embracing each other lay unconscious.
Further obliquely, under two slabs, a pregnant woman was lying sideways, protecting her belly, silent...
"What... what is this?"
He heard his own trembling voice, seeing in the corner of his eye his companions also gaping at everything before them.
Chu River muttered, "...a small invention, designed specifically for rescue scenarios... too many people underground, to improve efficiency, increase accuracy, we have to listen to them."
Her spiritual power was indeed capable, but even if exposed, it was just her alone, a drop in the bucket.
Moreover, though spiritual power could infiltrate networks through various means, in such high-consumption scans, the rescue dragonflies were still more efficient.
Captain: ...What kind of invention? New national technology? Classified military industry?
How come I’m unaware that inventions nowadays have reached this level? It’s so silent and secretive!
Too many thoughts flashed in his mind momentarily, yet he still felt something was amiss.
But now was not the time to dwell on such things.
The captain thus refocused, staring at the large screen once more to confirm:
"Are you sure it’s accurate?"
Chu River nodded: "Yes! You can verify while rescuing."
Yet no one answered her anymore.
The captain’s eyes fixated on the screen, within those three parts representing the first-floor venue scan scenes, directly ahead, two meters to the left, the image of a deeply buried pregnant woman constantly flashing in large red words—
He quickly called out: "Hurry, come on, get the person out from underneath here!"
Meanwhile, the metal dragonfly rapidly ascended, and its tail’s red laser light quickly drew a red line above, repeating the movement.
[Detected First Tier Rescue Target, Initiating Rescue Command]
The captain was momentarily stunned. Clearly, he had never encountered such high-tech equipment, yet watching that red light scan back and forth, he followed his sixth sense without hesitation:
"Dig down along this line!"
And the spot where the red line scanned happened to be precisely where two stone pillars crossed.
Chu River also breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she brought them all this time.
Given the rescue dragonfly’s primary function is rescue, when it is fully activated at 100%, it automatically plans the rescue route.
After all, in the face of large-scale disasters, there are too many environmental obstacles to implementing rescue...
For instance, if unaware of how many are buried or where they are, thermal imaging can’t penetrate, and rescue equipment hasn’t arrived in time...
If they casually moved the stones or iron plates above, any slight angle error could result in immediate death for those below...
This enormous psychological pressure doesn’t just torment those awaiting rescue; it also inflicts immense stress on those consistently performing the rescue.
The first team quickly gathered four people, following the rescue dragonfly’s instructions, while others tirelessly transferred all remaining victims on the ground outside...
Guided swiftly by the red line, everyone, without need for thought or hesitation, managed to clear the upper layer obstructions smoothly and successfully in just 10 minutes!
