Chapter 153: Chapter 153
When Qin Manman woke up, it was pitch black all around. Her palm touched the rough sandy ground, and as she slightly lifted her head, she was met with the hard square stone pillars.
The prism pressed against her face, making her extremely awkward in this cramped space.
She was stunned for a long while before she realized—
It’s an earthquake!!!
This made her go crazy in an instant, desperately squeezing into a broader space, while also screaming frantically:
However, after shouting for a long time, she didn’t get any response.
But she clearly heard the faint sounds from outside...
She held onto hope, and at the same time, harbored resentment until someone beside her coughed lowly: "Classmate, don’t worry, be patient, the rescue will come soon..."
His voice was incredibly familiar. Qin Manman suddenly turned her head, recognizing him as the middle-aged scientist who had persuaded her to join a private research team.
It’s quite normal for there to be sounds outside.
Currently, with the rescue team not yet arrived, Chu River had painstakingly organized the survivors, gradually moving those still on the ground to the outside.
Of course, theoretically speaking, the people buried underground are in greater danger. Many seriously injured people are also waiting for emergency rescue, but...
But, considering the entire arena, the number of people who could lend a hand, including her and Little Yellow, was only 139.
Among these people, only two nurses knew some rudimentary first aid methods, and the rest, not one professional medical personnel.
They’ve encountered a great catastrophe, their spirits were already tense, and if non-professionals try to rescue those buried underground, it might take half a day to dig out just one.
It might even cause secondary injuries.
Therefore, Chu River’s order was by proximity principle.
Anyone visible who is alive should be led out first.
As for the deceased...
We can only say, there are still too few people.
But there were many survivors buried in various buildings or underground too. After all, this was a hollow arena, and when the earthquake struck, many couldn’t escape in time and immediately fell underground. Now hearing voices from above, some naturally struggled and called for help.
In this situation, deciding who to save first and how was a big dilemma, so everyone gritted their teeth and rescued the people on the ground first.
As for those underground...
Little Yellow ran around the entire arena, holding a mini microphone, continually shouting:
"Everyone, don’t worry, one at a time, rescue teams will arrive soon..."
Disaster is so ruthless. If no comforting work is done under current circumstances, those initially having a chance to survive might lose hope.
And Little Yellow was hopeful.
—The hope of rescue was right in front of us. Hopefully, those who heard the voice can hold on for a little longer.
Chu River was also tirelessly rushing around.
Among everyone present, only she had the most energy and the strongest ability, thus bearing more important responsibilities. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel~fire~net
Her spiritual power continually scanned, making sure to select those needing urgent rescue at every moment, not wasting everyone’s time, and not affecting her efficiency.
Apart from adults, the arena also had many students organized by the school to visit.
Judging from the rough estimate made in the morning while following the bus, there were more than 3,000 students organized by the school alone!
This count did not include those accompanied by their parents...
According to Star Sea’s rescue rules, in non-special tasks, rescuing young children is a priority!
Under Mountain and Sea Star’s current conditions with such limited manpower, they could only... save one at a time.
Her strength was greater than the average person, and she was dragging a long decorative red silk torn from some exhibition platform, continuously using her spiritual power to search for children needing urgent rescue.
Every time she found one, she would wrap them in the red silk and lift them up.
After all, most of these children were with their teachers, in relatively concentrated locations, but the arena was too large, it would waste too much time if she carried them out one by one.
Everything was for the sake of speed!
The impact on the children was quite strong; many were still unconscious, and blood was gushing from two of them...
Chu River tightened the cloth strip near the wound, and the child vaguely opened their eyes, seeing someone and immediately starting to cry.
Her heart was seized with a pang, unsure how to react.
After all, if it were healthy and mischievous kids, she could easily deal with them any way, but now these small kids, with their lower legs completely folded and flesh and blood a mess... given the current pace of rescue, perhaps...
