When Yiqiē fell silent, Yan Hongzhi and the strange man were buried in the triangle formed by the falling ceiling and walls.

The air is filled with dust that makes it difficult to breathe.

Yan Hongzhi covered his mouth and nose with his clothes, trying to slow down the rate of breathing as much as possible, so that the feeling of suffocation was not so strong.

He tried to open his eyes, and found that it was pitch black all around, and not a single ray of light was letting in.

As the roar in his ear canal faded, he could faintly hear faint cries for help and moans.

"Hey, are you still alive?"

Suddenly, a clear, hoarse, man's voice sounded in the darkness.

Yan Hongzhi said, "I'm still alive." ”

The man said, "We're so lucky. What is your name? ”

"Yan Hong-sik. What about you? ”

"Han Sunwoo."

Yan Hongzhi slowly loosened the clothes covering his mouth and nose, and found that the dust seemed to have fallen silent and could breathe smoothly.

"It must have been an earthquake, right?" Han Sunwoo said: "I thought it was just something that would appear in the news, but I didn't expect it to happen to me." ”

Yan Hongzhi didn't expect it, and he didn't expect that he would be lucky to survive.

Or rather, just to survive temporarily.

"What do we do now?" Han Shanyu said.

"I think all we can do is wait, wait for help." Yan Hongzhi said.

Han Sunwoo fell silent.

Indeed, there is no better way.

Fortunately, they can still accompany each other, so they won't suffer alone in the desperate situation of this projectile land.

At such a moment, being able to hear the sound of breathing other than oneself is the greatest comfort and encouragement.

Yim Hong-sik didn't want to die, and he longed to live more than at any time in the past thirty years.

He hasn't said to Yoo Si-jin yet, "Please be my boyfriend", his new life with Cheol-so has just begun, he has a similar feeling of happiness for the first time since his mother's death, he has just had good expectations for the future, and he doesn't want to die in such a mess.

Yan Hongzhi couldn't help but think that if he really died while waiting for rescue, what would happen to the survivors?

Will his indifferent father shed a tear of sadness for him? Will his grandmother be able to withstand such pain? And that terrible woman and her son, who must be secretly happy at his death, right?

Liu Shizhen should be sad for a while, right? But time will surely heal him.

Among all of them, the one who worries Yan Hong-sik the most is Kim Cheol-so.

It was he who begged Cheol-so to stay and live with him, and he also promised to let Cheol-so live a carefree life, what would Cheol-so do if he died?

He was afraid that Cheol-so would wait for him.

He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Wait quietly.

Don't be discouraged, but have hope and the belief that you will live.

***

Kim Cheol-so wore thin clothes and trousers and ran barefoot through the bustling streets of Seoul.

Following the memory of last night, he managed to find Paradise.

What was a magnificent building yesterday is now in ruins.

The surroundings were crowded with onlookers, and the cries were deafening.

A bleeding man struggled to crawl out of the rubble, his face mixed with the horror of the catastrophe and the ecstasy of the aftermath of the catastrophe.

Kim Cheol-so didn't see Yeon Hong-sik's face among these people, nor could he smell Yeon Hong-sik's scent, and he was buried in the dust.

Without hesitation, he rushed into the ruins against the flow of people, and used all his strength to carry the ruins.

Kim Cheol-so had only one thought in his mind: save him! Save him!

The crowd of onlookers were all frightened by his astonishing actions.

Half of the department store was sunk into the ground, half of it was tilting at a dangerous angle, and there was a possibility of a second collapse at any time, and he would have died if he did so.

But no one dared to stop them.

Soon, fire trucks and ambulances roared.

This was followed by a rescue force led by Yoo Shi-jin.

On the way here, Yoo Shi-jin called Yan Hong-sik over and over again, and the response to him was always the mechanical and cold "I'm sorry, the phone you dialed cannot be connected for the time being."

Liu Shizhen panicked and desperate.

However, the moment he opened the car door, Liu Shizhen calmed down.

He is a soldier of the Republic of Korea and has a mission to defend the country and its people.

He can't mess around, even though his beloved is in a desperate situation at the moment.

Yoo Shi-jin is confident that as long as Yan Hongzhi is alive, he will definitely be able to rescue him.

He calmly commanded the rescue.

Evacuate the onlookers, cooperate with firefighters and medical personnel to rescue the injured, survey the shape of the dangerous building, and formulate a rescue plan.

Then, he saw Kim Cheol-so who was frantically digging with his bare hands on the ruins.

There were already firefighters who went up to stop Kim Cheol-so, but they were all driven away by him like crazy.

Kim Chol-so's feet have been cut, and his hands are covered with blood, looking like madness and terrifying.

Yoo Si-jin rushed up and dragged Kim Cheol-so's arm, but he shook it off vigorously without hesitation.

"Mr. Kim Cheol-so, what are you doing now?!" Liu Shizhen asked loudly.

Kim Cheol-so recognized the voice.

He stopped, turned his head to look at Liu Shizhen, and said in a lost voice: "I want to save him, I have to save him." ”

Liu Shizhen's heart was sour, and tears instantly appeared in his eyes.

But he held back, his expression was resolute, and he said in a firm voice: "If you want to save him, you have to listen to me." If you dig like this, not only will you not be able to save him, but you may also be able to kill him and yourself. ”

Kim Cheol-so inexplicably wants to believe Yoo Si-jin.

He suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Jin Shunyi suddenly fell ill, and he hugged her around to ask for help, but there was still nothing he could do.

That time, he almost killed her.

He must never make the same mistake again.

"I listen to you." Kim Chol-so's face turned pale and said, "Please, you must save him." ”

Liu Shizhen said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I want him to live more than anyone else." ”
