Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Ends of the Scale

When everyone first arrived at the scene, a group of survivors had already surrounded the ruins, and some people were constantly crying.

Twilight ran over and pushed the crowd away, squeezing to the front, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but cover her mouth, and her eyes instantly reddened.

Li Cheng and An Ran followed closely, and they were also silent when they saw it, their brows tightly locked.

I saw a six- or seven-meter-broken concrete pillar, one end pressed against the iron cabinet, which had been seriously deformed, and a pregnant woman was stuck underneath.

At the other end was also a teenager, and because the steel bars were still connected to the building above, a delicate balance was maintained, so that the teenager was not fatally injured.

But the problem comes, if you lift the head of the pregnant woman, the balance will inevitably be broken, and the pillar will directly crush the teenager to death.

If you want to save teenagers, due to the principle of leverage, pregnant women will also be squeezed to death by the iron cabinet under pressure.

If you want to save one, you have to sacrifice the other.

Some people feel in their hearts that the pregnant woman should be saved, after all, there is still a life in her belly.

Some people also feel that the teenager should be saved, he is still so young, and the future is still so long.

But everyone did not dare to speak, they couldn't bear to turn their heads away, and some had secretly wiped their tears, they had no right to make choices for the trapped people, and life was equal.

Whoever chooses must face the condemnation of conscience.

There was a slight thud above the pillar, and some gravel and dust fell down, and the pillar moved slightly, and pregnant women and teenagers alike let out a wail of pain.

Time is running out for them.

Liu Shizhen frowned, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Rescue must be carried out immediately! If it drags on any longer, neither of them will survive!"

Everyone's eyes were on Yoo Si-jin, who was the first to speak, expecting this man to make a cruel choice for them.

"We can only save one person, this pillar can't last long at all, if you hesitate, neither of you will survive!"

Liu Shizhen was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "You choose who you should save! I hope you can understand that we can only save one of them in the situation at the scene!"

Liu Shizhen looked at the two of them coldly, and left this problem to themselves.

The pregnant woman can clearly feel that everyone's expectations are left to the teenager a little more, and everyone is reluctant to make a choice, just because there is an unborn child in her belly, so the pregnant woman does not make a sound, biting her trembling lips to prevent herself from crying.

Although the teenager's face was covered with dust, it could be seen from his pure eyes that he was still very immature, at most in his early 20s, and his injuries were not serious, and the future was promising.

"Please, find a way to save the two of them. ā€

Twilight couldn't stand this atmosphere, and the people who were still alive had to choose death by themselves, so she held Yoo Shizhen's hand with tears, hoping that the captain of the peacekeeping force could save them.

Liu Shizhen pulled away Twilight's hand and said helplessly: "The situation only allows us to save one person, please stay calm, time is pressing, please make a decision quickly." ā€

An Ran couldn't bear to see this cruel scene, she said softly: "It would be nice if there was a tool cart like a tower crane, as long as you fix the middle position, and then send someone to slowly lift both sides together, and with the cooperation of man and machine, you should still be able to save the two of you." ā€

But now, the surrounding area is either blocked by ruins, or the jungle has collapsed, and when a passage is cleared, I am afraid that this side will not be able to support it.

Quack, quack, quack.

There was another thud from the building above, and the two men below wailed again as the rubble fell.

Liu Shizhen frowned and said, "Time is pressing, please make your choice!"

No matter how many bullets An Ran has experienced, she can't stand this kind of picture, and she set her sights on Li Cheng, who has been creating miracles.

Li Cheng also frowned, and he also thought of the same method as An Ran in his heart, but he was not sure that he could support such a heavy concrete pillar, and he didn't know if the tiger force would be able to do it if he launched it with all his might.

The pregnant woman had closed her desperate eyes at this time, and the hands under the iron cabinet were struggling to caress the unborn child in her belly, and tears were pouring out of the corners of her eyes.

The teenager watched the pregnant woman fall silent, struggling with what decision to make, and finally he took a deep breath and was suddenly relieved, he struggled to fumble in his pocket, and then pulled out a wallet.

He put his wallet in front of him, pulled out a photo from the mezzanine inside, and said with a little choked up: "Hello, my name is Balsi, I am from Inner Mongolia, China, and I am a handyman in a diamond processing factory. ā€

He struggled to hand over the photo, looked at the photo reluctantly and said, "This is my family photo, with my phone number and address on the back." ā€

"I hope, I—" Speaking of this, Barth couldn't help but cry, and then forced his composure and continued: "I hope that after I die, you can help me return the body to my motherland, my hometown, and trouble you." ā€

Hearing that the other party had made a choice, but it was a Chinese person, Liu Shizhen looked back at Li Cheng and the others fiercely, afraid that the two Chinese soldiers would come forward to stop the action.

Twilight squatted down and took the picture in Balth's hand, on which there were two kind middle-aged couples, and three siblings, and the one with the brightest smile in the middle was Balth, and the two younger sisters snuggled affectionately on their brother's shoulder, smiling as beautiful as flowers.

Twilight couldn't hold back her tears, covered her mouth and wept before asking, "Little hero, how old are you?" ā€

"I'm 18 years old this year, and my sister at home still has to go to school, so I followed my fellow villagers to work so far, when you send me back, help me tell my family that I love them very much, tell my sister to take care of my parents, and try to change myself, my brother can't continue to accompany them..."

By the end, Balth was in tears.

18 years old, still the same age as flowers, there are still many beautiful things he hasn't seen, and he is about to fall here at this moment.

"Okay, time is pressing, please get up, we have to rescue!" Liu Shizhen just wants to solve the matter as soon as possible, after all, there are still many lives that need to be rescued by them.

Balth's eyes were clouded with tears, and he stared very reluctantly at the family portrait that he had long been unable to see, his face full of pride and determination.

The pregnant woman also couldn't cry silently, she kept saying thank you, and she also knew how much courage it took to make a decision in the face of death, and the other party was just a teenager like a flower.

"Big sister, don't cry, this is my choice, one person for the two of you, it's worth it. Balth, in turn, comforted the pregnant woman, causing her to cry even more sadly.

The reporters who arrived late did not have cameras, so they took out their mobile phones and began to collect materials, taking random pictures of the two people killed and the surrounding people.

An Ran's eyes were red, and he looked at the reporters with disgust, and finally looked at the teenager with pity, this was the path he had chosen, but she could not do anything about it.

Li Cheng clenched An Ran's trembling fist and said indifferently: "Maybe I can save them!"
