Chapter 330 Encountering danger again
When Zuo Ming saw the situation clearly, he was only slightly stunned and quickly calmed down, "Song Lan, I'm awake, take care of yourself, don't worry about me."
"Is it okay?" Xia Songlan was worried.
Zuo Ming nodded and reached out to hold onto the rock wall on the shore, but ended up grabbing a handful of dirt and nearly sinking again.
Xia Songlan reacted quickly and pulled him again in time. At this time, Zuo Ming also drank a sip of water and was choked and coughed repeatedly.
"The water isn't flowing fast. Don't panic. We should be able to find the exit if we follow the current."
Xia Songlan pulled Zuo Ming while maintaining her balance and comforting him.
After a while, Zuo Ming was able to float freely on the water without Xia Songlan's support.
At this moment, they were less than ten meters away from Huang Feng and Nurse Xiaoyu.
After the initial panic, Nurse Xiaoyu stopped screaming and just held Huang Feng tightly.
Huang Feng looked very thin, but his swimming skills were very good. Even with the panicked nurse Xiao Yu, he was able to swim steadily.
After floating for a few more minutes, Huang Feng began to feel a little tired.
Xia Songlan went over and hugged nurse Xiaoyu, "Don't panic, Xiaoyu, I'm here and I won't let you sink.
Please relax as much as possible so that I can lead you and we can swim together to the downstream exit.
After letting go of nurse Xiao Yu, Huang Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He swam on his back in the underground river and relaxed his limbs.
He slapped the water with his legs, gliding at a speed much faster than Xia Songlan's treading water, and soon swam forward more than ten meters.
Suddenly he pointed to the soil above his head and said, "Look, there's a hole over there. Maybe we can get up from there."
After saying this, without waiting for Xia Songlan and the others to reply, he turned over and swam quickly in that direction.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
The small hole suddenly collapsed and became a big hole, and many steel bars, bricks, planks, and wood blocks fell from it...
The heavy object hit the water, causing huge waves, knocking Huang Feng unconscious, and he disappeared from Xia Songlan's sight.
Xia Songlan and the other two were pushed by the water and retreated upstream for more than ten meters before they could stabilize their bodies.
At this time, they were just below the weighing instrument factory, and Ning Jingmo was leading his men through the top.
The collapsed area was not far from them, and fortunately they reacted quickly and did not fall.
Only the fellow villager was a little older and he stumbled and almost fell.
Ning Maijing was quick-witted and grabbed his collar and dragged him up.
But they were standing on the edge of a deep pit.
Ning Jingmo half-crouched down, steadied his center of gravity, and signaled Captain Nie beside him to grab his fellow villager's arm.
He then reminded, "Don't be afraid, fellow, I'm standing behind you.
We are still 30 centimeters away from the pit. Don't worry, we won't fall.
Now use your left leg to push forward and you will reach a safe area."
The fellow was so frightened that his legs went limp. He couldn't tell his left leg from his right, and instead kicked with his right leg.
As a result, his right foot kicked a brick nearby, and large pieces of broken bricks and tiles were affected and fell into a deep pit.
The entire cave entrance expanded another circle toward the outside.
They were only one step away from the cave entrance.
Ning Jingmo glanced at the deep pit and lifted his fellow villager up with force.
Captain Nie took advantage of the situation and pulled his fellow villager to a safe place nearby.
A soldier handed over a wooden stick. Ning Jingmo grabbed the stick and took a big step to the side, reaching a slightly safer place.
He leaned his head and looked into the pit.
The light in the pit was not good, and it was estimated to be about five or six meters deep.
The thing that fell just now almost cut off the underground river in the middle, leaving only a gap of less than one meter through which a small amount of water could flow.
Xia Songlan happened to look up and saw Ning Jingmo. She waved her arms and called upwards, "Jingmo, we are down there."
Seeing Ning Jingmo didn't react.
Xia Songlan hurriedly pushed Nurse Xiao Yu to Zuo Ming and said, "Take good care of Nurse Xiao Yu. I will go and call for help."
After saying that, he swam forward a few meters.
At this time, Ning Jingmo could already see her figure clearly.
Just now, Ning Jingmo only vaguely heard the voice, but did not actually see the person.
Now that he saw people, he hurriedly reminded them, "Songlan, swim back upstream. This place is dangerous and a landslide is about to occur.
I'll find someone to stabilize the area around here and rescue you guys right away."
Xia Songlan obediently swam upstream for a distance and returned to Zuo Ming.
I turned around to look for Huang Feng, but still couldn't see him.
Zuo Ming and nurse Xiao Yu were also looking around.
At this moment, Nurse Xiao Yu saw Huang Feng being pinned down by a steel bar, lying on a pile of broken bricks and tiles that had just fallen.
He shouted loudly, "Look... there's the wasp."
She raised her hand and pointed at Huang Feng's location.
Xia Songlan and Zuo Ming both saw it.
Xia Songlan said, "I'll go over there and try. You take Nurse Xiaoyu and swim upstream for a distance. It's not safe around here."
Zuo Ming grabbed her and said, "Take Nurse Xiao Yu and swim upstream. I'll go take a look."
Xia Songlan had already pushed him upstream, then turned around and swam towards Huang Feng's position.
Ning Jingmo, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, saw Xia Songlan falling into the water, and his heart felt a little relieved.
Captain Nie and his men were immediately arranged to reinforce the area around the cave entrance to avoid a secondary landslide that would cause harm to the people below.
Everyone worked together and quickly reinforced the entire cave entrance.
Just as they were trying to push another steel bar under a steel plate, the entire area around the steel plate suddenly collapsed.
At this time, Xia Songlan in the water had just pulled Huang Feng out from under the steel bar.
Thanks to the steel bar, it only penetrated into the soil and did not pierce Huang Feng.
It seemed to be pressing on Huang Feng, but in fact it was just reflection through the water surface, and the steel bar was still several centimeters away from Huang Feng.
But just as Xia Songlan had pulled Huang Feng out, there was a loud noise above her head. She only had time to push Huang Feng out before the steel plate fell down.
Ning Jingmo watched helplessly as Xia Songlan was hit directly into the water by the steel plate.
He, who was usually calm and composed, was horrified. He leaned forward and shouted into the cave, "Woad, Woad... Summer Woad."
Unfortunately, there was no response.
He clenched his teeth so hard that his back teeth were almost broken.
The soft flesh in his mouth was bitten into a bloody mess due to the sudden force, and there was a strong taste of rust in his mouth.
But Ning Jingmo couldn't feel anything at all, and he tried hard to calm himself down.
He took two steps back and said to Captain Nie behind him, "Quickly get the rope and bring a few more steel plates over. If there are no steel plates, wooden boards will do.
Fix this area.
I'm going down to the river now to check out the situation below."
Captain Nie, along with several PLA comrades, quickly fixed their position.
But when Ning Jingmo picked up the rope and was about to go down, he was stopped by them.
Captain Nie grabbed Ning Jingmo's arm and said, "Commander, you can't go down, you are the commander-in-chief this time.
If something happens to you, what will happen to the follow-up work? I'd better go down."
Several other PLA comrades also asked to go down.
Director Zhang also advised: "Commander Ning, this disaster relief work depends entirely on you. If you make another mistake, what will happen to our Ning County?"
