Chapter 267: Trapped Under a Concrete Slab

Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Trapped Under a Concrete Slab

"All these things generate heat; in weather like this, they can save lives."

After giving instructions, Jhiang Yuan went down to help.

The hole was on the side of the wall, and Jhiang Xingzhi was pulling her from above, lowering her down bit by bit.

Just as she reached the middle where there was an obstruction, she accidentally kicked into the air.

"Ouch..."

Her entire body tipped over to the side, where there were fallen concrete slabs. A single hit would have finished her.

"My girl..."

Jhiang Xingzhi quickly exerted himself, not caring that his other arm hurt.

Jhiang Yuan also got scared. Quickly, she stepped up with her other leg, and only then swung back on track with the pulling force.

"Goodness, that scared me to death..."

Looking up, she saw her father’s anxious expression.

"Dad, your arm... let go, I’ll just jump down."

Although there were many things below, jumping down was really not a problem. Qin Yue, still worried, specifically threw a military coat down.

Worried it might hit her, Jhiang Yuan didn’t hesitate and jumped straight down.

Then she handed up the military coat, which her mother had pulled out for warmth. Even if it got a bit dirty, it was no problem.

The situation below was even worse than above. This side was in the middle of the corridor entrance, only three to five meters from room 2002 and even closer to room 2001.

But now, everywhere was filled with broken walls and debris scattered all across the floor.

Light beams came in, but she couldn’t see clearly.

Holding a flashlight, she saw that it was still possible to pass under a beam ahead.

This wall seemed to be a load-bearing wall, appearing so abruptly.

"Song Yi, where are you?"

She didn’t dare to speak loudly. Ahead there was the sound of Little One whimpering.

"Jhiang Yuan, did you come down?"

"Yes!"

There was worry, yet she couldn’t express it.

"Don’t move from there; I’ll come to get you."

Ugh...

"I can come over by..."

Before she could finish the word "okay," the man appeared in front of her.

The distance was originally not far, but unfortunately, the situation was not good.

"Follow me, do as I do."

"Okay!"

Song Yi led the way, not forgetting to hold her hand.

Although it felt strange, given the special circumstances, they didn’t care too much about it.

These few short meters felt like they required the courage of a lifetime to cross.

Hopping up and down, they finally made it across.

"Can’t this door be opened?"

"Yes, it’s blocked inside."

Song Yi responded, but there was no way to help now; they could only worry.

"Sister Yuan, is that you, Sister Yuan?"

"Mianmian, don’t cry. It’s me, don’t worry. I will definitely save you."

"Sister Yuan, Sister Yuan..."

On the other end, Ye Mianmian’s emotions had collapsed, and she was also getting frantic.

"Mianmian, stop crying. Now, listen to me; take three deep breaths and calm yourself down."

Fear was too common in such times; she wasn’t any different.

"Mianmian, listen to me. What about Fan Qing and Zhang Kaiyang? How are they now?"

"Fan Qing... Fan Qing is by my side. Zhang Kaiyang got hit by a concrete slab; we can’t move it."

As she spoke, her trembling voice conveyed how fearful and cold she was.

"Sister Yuan, don’t worry, I’m doing fine here.

I can hold on. Two concrete slabs have met, and I just can’t get out. It’s not a big problem."

Zhang Kaiyang said this deliberately so they wouldn’t worry.

"Song Yi, what do we do now?"

"The door can’t be opened because a floorboard hit it. The best way is to break the door open directly."

"But I didn’t dare make too much noise."

Because Zhang Kaiyang was right inside the cement panel by the door.

"I can pick locks, don’t worry."

She had demonstrated this skill before.

However, with Zhang Kaiyang overshadowing her, she didn’t intentionally flaunt her skills.

She took a small wrench from her pocket, pulled the door handle with significant force.

Upon seeing this, Song Yi hurried over to help.

"Damn, that’s awesome!"

With one hand, he broke the handle, which Jhiang Yuan hadn’t moved much, even with both hands.

This guy is really strong!

From the crack, she inserted the wrench, finding the position of the lock cylinder.

After fiddling for a bit, it opened.

"Click," very crisp.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t open the door right away, but looked at Song Yi, who immediately came over to help her hold the door.

"Mianmian, the lock’s open, I’m going to open the door, be careful!"

"Okay, Sister Yuan, I’m ready."

Jhiang Yuan and Song Yi nodded to each other and slowly opened the door.

The sounds of things falling inside were very clear, several times she almost couldn’t hold it back.

Fortunately, Song Yi was here, so the situation wasn’t too bad.

Finally, they opened it without any mishap.

The cold outside air rushed in, making her shiver involuntarily.

"Mianmian, are you okay?"

Ye Mianmian stood up, looked at her, and immediately cried.

Seeing Jhiang Yuan was like seeing hope.

"Don’t cry, quickly wipe your tears before they freeze."

"Okay!"

As she spoke, she went to wipe her eyes.

"Brother Song, Sister Yuan, please hurry and save Kaiyang."

Fan Qing was frantic, seeing them as if they were saviors.

The situation was indeed grim, Zhang Kaiyang was at the bottom, though not severely hurt.

But there was too much debris above him, and some cement panels even contained steel bars, a slight mistake could be deadly.

They had already cleared some small debris, now it was just the big cement block.

But it was too central, they couldn’t get out, and neither Jhiang Yuan nor Song Yi could get in, moving it would not be easy.

The two of them pondered how to minimize casualties.

"Let’s find a way to pull the top cement block over, then move it down."

"That might work, but how do we pull it? It’s so heavy, if we’re not careful and shake the bottom, that would be trouble."

Indeed, trouble, as Zhang Kaiyang would surely be buried alive.

Song Yi also agreed with her, but what could they do?

"Ice cone!"

He stared at the doorway, where Jhiang Yuan had taken down the ice cone for probing, and started to zone out.

"Leverage principle!"

"Leverage principle!"

Both said it simultaneously, they both laughed a little, clearly on the same wavelength.

No time to waste, they got busy immediately.

They asked everyone to find whatever could be used as rope at home, rope was best, but fabric strips would do.

As long as it could bear the weight, there would be no problem.

Meanwhile, the two outside started calculating frantically.

Song Yi was very serious, she hardly needed to worry.

"Fan Qing, I remember Zhang Kaiyang had a helmet before."

He liked to ride motorcycles and had plenty of gear, she had seen it when helping him move.

"Yes, yes, I’ll go look for it."

She also knew what it meant, to protect his head.
