Chapter 26: The Abyss

"The helicopter is coming, we are saved. ”

The crowd on the top of the mountain shouted, and three helicopters were over the top of the mountain in a blink of an eye.

Unlike everyone looking up at the helicopter in the sky, Ye Zhenzhen's eyes were always staring at the flashlight light on the mountainside.

In the lightning and thunder, the light of the flashlight got closer and closer to the top of the mountain, so close that you could see the figure of the person who came, and after five flashlights, there were nine figures.

After a cursory look, there were four young men in rescue team uniforms, four villagers in ragged clothes, and the most eye-catching was Nan Zhiqiao in white protective clothing.

In the dark night, Nan Zhiqiao walked in the front, the rescue team and the four villagers followed closely behind, Ye Zhenzhen shouted: "Senior Nan, come up quickly, the helicopter is coming!"

Nan Zhiqiao shook the flashlight in his hand, and the beam of light swayed in the dark night, signaling to hear Zhen Zhen's words.

At the top of the mountain, Nan Zhiqiao and his party ran desperately up, on the top of the mountain, the helicopter lowered the soft ladder, and the rescue team members began to organize the villagers to climb up one by one, and if they couldn't climb, the rescuers tied the wounded with ropes and sent them to the helicopter one by one.

Seeing that Nan Zhiqiao and his party were still more than a dozen steps away from reaching the top of the mountain, suddenly, there was another burst of lightning and thunder, and the rocks under their feet shook violently.

The villagers, who had not yet had time to board the helicopter, suddenly panicked, and some people shouted in panic: "Earthquake, earthquake again......

The villagers scrambled to climb up the soft ladder, and the scene began to be chaotic, and Captain Jiang yelled, "Don't panic, everyone, none of us will be left behind." ”

The boys of the rescue team forcibly maintained order, and the people on the soft ladder climbed up quickly and orderly.

The strong aftershocks in the forecast finally broke out, and after the lightning and thunder, the sky in the dark night appeared purple-red, and the ground beneath his feet began to shake violently.

A crack with a hazy yellow glow stretched from the bottom of the mountain to the top.

"No, the cracks created by the earthquake will swallow up the whole mountain. ”

Ye Zhenzhen stood at the top of the mountain, looking at Nanzhiqiao, who was more than ten steps away, unable to climb an inch due to the shaking of the mountain, and could not climb to the top of the mountain, and a big tree suddenly fell to the side again, completely blocking the way.

Zhen Zhen was anxious, flew down the mountain, dodged the falling rocks, and soon reached the trunk of the tree across the road, shouting: "Senior Nan, come around from the root of the tree." ”

"No, someone is crushed under a branch, I want to save people first, and the others will pass first. ”

A villager was crushed by a fallen branch, in an emergency, Nan Zhiqiao gave an order, three villagers first bypassed the fallen tree, climbed to the top of the mountain, four rescue team boys wanted to stay to help, Nan Zhiqiao said urgently: "Just leave one person, the others go first." ”

A man in the rescue team stayed by Nan Zhiqiao's side, and the two of them worked together to lift the branch, and Ye Zhenzhen crossed the trunk and dragged the injured villager out from under the tree.

The flesh and blood of one of the legs of the pressed villager were blurred, and the white bones of Sen Sen were exposed, and the blood gushing out suddenly dyed the white bones red and black, Nan Zhiqiao pressed the blood vessels near the side of the thigh with his hand, and shouted: "Zhen Zhen, stop the bleeding with a tourniquet." ”

Ye Zhenzhen quickly took out the tourniquet and skillfully wrapped the bleeding wound.

As soon as the wounds of the injured villagers were treated, Nan Zhiqiao immediately helped the villagers onto the back of the young man of the rescue team, and shouted at the same time: "You go first!"

Although the strong man of the rescue team was anxious, his feet were unusually steady, carrying the injured villagers on his back, around the branches and loose rocks, and trotting to the top of the mountain.

"Senior Nan, let's go!"

Ye Zhenzhen pulled Nan Zhiqiao, wanted to take a shortcut, and passed through the gap under the trunk of the fallen big tree, as soon as the two of them leaned down, the ground that was already shaking shook even more, and the crack at the foot of the mountain had extended to the foot.

The hard rock cracked in the middle, and the crack passed under the feet of the two of them, slowly getting bigger.

"Zhenzhen, come here!"

Nan Zhiqiao pulled Ye Zhenzhen to his side with one hand, and tightly grasped the fallen branch of the big tree beside him with the other.

The crack expanded rapidly, and the ground under Ye Zhenzhen's feet suddenly collapsed, and the whole person fell down the abyss of the crack.

Nan Zhiqiao was shocked, and quickly pulled the hand of the falling person, pulled it up hard, and wrapped it around the other party's waist.

Ye Zhenzhen was shocked, and saw the crack split the top of the mountain in two, and the two were completely blocked under the hillside.

The rocks fell, and the slope became a slope, sloping towards the crack abyss, and the big tree that stopped in front of the two was also stuck in the middle of the crack.

The two wanted to run upwards, but the shaking of the mountain caused by the earthquake continued, making it difficult to walk an inch, and as the terrain tilted, they also slid towards the cracks.

The rubble rained down, and the two of them were stuck on the big branch at the edge of the crack in the ground, and one of them would accidentally fall into the crack abyss with the big tree. Nan Zhiqiao looked up at the three helicopters in the sky, the villagers and the rescue team on the top of the mountain all climbed up the soft ladder to the plane, and the planes circled over the top of the mountain, as if looking for anyone who had missed it.

In a panic, Ye Zhenzhen remembered the flashlight she was still holding in her hand, and hurriedly stretched out her arm, shaking it constantly, shining the light of the flashlight into the sky.

One of the helicopters spotted the light source and flew towards the crack where the two men were.

The soft ladder hanging under the helicopter kept trying to get close to the two people stuck in the tree, but the branches were too dense, and the helicopter would be in danger of crashing if it was too close.

Ye Zhenzhen was anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

In a hurry, the situation continued to deteriorate, and the big tree that stuck the two began to loosen, the mountain shook, and the big tree fell instantly.

Ye Zhenzhen closed her eyes and sighed in her heart, it's over, this time she will be buried in the cracks of the earthquake with Senior Nan, is this considered "being born differently and dying in the same cave".

"Zhenzhen, open your eyes, it's okay. ”

I didn't feel the strength to continue falling, I only felt that my waist was being held tightly, Ye Zhenzhen opened her eyes, and Nan Zhiqiao's handsome face was close at hand.

Ye Zhenzhen subconsciously hugged Nan Zhiqiao with both hands, looked up, and found that a silver soft steel cable on Nan Zhiqiao's left wrist was wrapped around the soft ladder, and her right hand was tightly wrapped around Zhen Zhen's waist.

Looking down, the seismic fissure was still expanding, and the entire mountain was sunk into the fissure, and a huge fissure canyon replaced the previous high mountain, leaving it on the surface.

On the rainy night of the earthquake, the two hugged each other tightly, their eyes met, and Ye Zhenzhen murmured like she had survived the catastrophe: "Senior Nan, we are saved." ”

——

It took less than 40 minutes to get from Zhujiazhuang to the city, and the helicopter stopped on the tarmac of the city's First People's Hospital; because of the earthquake, the number of the injured skyrocketed, and there were temporary medical tents everywhere around the hospital.

Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen are in danger, although they have experienced a landslide and earth cracking, but they only have a little bruises, which is really lucky.

The two got off the helicopter and were about to go to the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention next door to the hospital, but they saw a familiar figure in the distance, followed by a group of people in black, walking quickly.

When the crowd walked up to the two, Ye Zhenzhen recognized at a glance that the elder who walked in front was Senior Nan's father, that is, the chairman of Nanmu Group - Nan Jianguo.
