Li Du asked from above, "Marcus, do you see the pipe?"
"Yes, I see it. Help, buddy, help me get out!" Marcus said hurriedly. He was so excited that he even cried.
In the face of death, no one could face it calmly, especially after finding a life-saving straw.
Li Du said, "Don't worry, you are not in danger. Now this pipe will send you milk. Drink some warm milk and stay awake. Don't think too much. We will save you in a while."
"Can you hurry up? Buddy, who are you? Can you save me quickly? "Marcus asked immediately.
Separated by a thick layer of stone, it was very difficult for them to communicate. Their voices were so diffuse that it was impossible to determine the identity of the speaker from the accent.
Li Du shouted, "Wait, Aubrey is also down there. He has not made a sound. We are worried that he has fainted, so we need to save him first."
After a short silence, Marcus's muffled voice was heard. "Okay, okay, save Aubrey first. He should be to the east of me. Is there anything I can help with?"
Hearing this, Li Du could not help but look up to him. Marcus was a good person to be able to maintain the love and loyalty of a miner in such a difficult situation.
He comforted Marcus a few more words, took Ali to the next position, and let it go down again with the pipe in its mouth to look for the unconscious Aubrey.
Aubrey's situation was much worse. He was unconscious, and Li Du did not know why he was unconscious or how his physical condition was. He could only do his best.
A miner asked anxiously, "Why don't you hurry and dig him out after confirming the location?"
Li Du said calmly, "Don't worry, Aubrey is obviously unconscious. Otherwise, he would have made a sound. What if we rashly cause a second collapse?"
Someone said dejectedly, "He did not make a sound. Could it be that he is not unconscious, but …"
He did not say his guess, but everyone knew what he meant.
Li Du looked at him sternly and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Aubrey, that bastard, is unconscious. Hurry up, bring the hairdryer over and blow into the pipe!"
Aubrey was unconscious. Obviously, it was useless to send him milk. They had to send him oxygen.
Ali sent the pipe over, and the other end of the pipe was plugged into a big hole. The blower blew into the hole and sent the wind through the pipe into the ground.
At this time, Li Du instructed everyone to start digging the mine.
He used the little bug to investigate the situation below, instructing people on how to dig and how to avoid places that might cause a second collapse.
Although progress was slower this way, everything was safe and effective.
Fortunately, Aubrey woke up in the middle of it.
Perhaps he had been hit in the head by a rock, causing him to faint from a concussion. After some rest, coupled with the fresh air being pumped in through the pipes, he gradually regained consciousness.
After waking up, he first mumbled a few words of nonsense, then he realized his situation and screamed, "Oh, damn it, oh, fuck you, no no no, I don't want to die down there!"
"God save me, Virgin Mary, I don't want to die, I have to feed my family, I don't want to die!"
"Get me up there, I beg you guys, work harder, get me up there!"
A miner was annoyed and roared, "Shut up, Aubrey! Save your strength! If you want to live, then wait obediently. Don't waste your energy! "
They worked for nearly an hour, and firefighters finally arrived with rescue equipment.
Lightning Ridge was surrounded by pits, and there had been many mine collapses in the past. Therefore, the firefighters had prepared the necessary rescue equipment. Now the rescue team was a heavily armed elite rescue team.
When they arrived, they immediately waved Li Du and the others away and shouted, "What are you doing? Didn't you say it on the phone? Don't act rashly! "
Li Du had found Marcus and Aubrey, and he had performed well in the rescue command. Several rugged miners had been convinced by him.
The firefighters' words made them feel bad for Li Du. A bald, strong man roared, "F * ck you! Don't act rashly? If we didn't move and just waited for you, the two guys down there would be dead! "
"Don't yell at Li. He found our guys, and he sent down milk and air! You'd better respect him. He's the dog leader here! "
Li Du waved his hand and said, "OK, OK, guys, calm down. Leave professional matters to the professionals. We have to trust them. Come with me, come with me to the side!"
A bespectacled firefighter asked, "Have you found the survivors? Have you determined their location? "
Li Du said, "Yes, they are awake at this time. You can contact them."
In this way, there was no need to search for the location. The firefighter said unhappily, "Why didn't you say it on the phone? We also struggled to bring a thermal infrared life detector, a sonic vibration life detector … "
Hearing him say that, the miners flew into a rage.
The bald, strong man rushed up with a pickaxe and shouted, "Listen to what you said! What the hell are you doing? "
Brother Wolf stopped him and said, "Holiday, calm down, calm down!"
The firefighter also knew that he had gone too far, so he changed the subject and said to his companions, "Release Snake Eye, search the terrain inside, and make a rescue plan!"
Snake Eye was a kind of search instrument, known as an optical life detector. Its body was very flexible, like a snakeskin pipe used in sewers, and it could twist freely in the rubble.
There was a small probe in front of the instrument, which could penetrate into very small gaps. Similar to a camera, it transmitted information back and a computer received high-definition video.
The process of entering the instrument was smooth, and it went down the plastic tube.
After seeing Aubrey's big face on the screen, several miners cheered. They high-fived each other, and some cried with joy.
Day and night doing the boring mining work in the dangerous underground, these people's relationship with each other went beyond that of ordinary colleagues, and they had a friendship similar to that of soldiers.
After determining the location of the survivors, the firefighters began to use professional equipment and tools to carry out the rescue.
They used hydraulic shear pliers to cut off the connection between some of the ore, set up a large crane to move the ore away, and then took out a variety of tools, such as lifting, breaking, expanding, cutting, power, and so on.
Later, the local hospital also sent an ambulance. Two stretchers and an emergency workbench were carried out of the ambulance. Two nurses quickly prepared splints and emergency medicine, and were ready for rescue.
They worked until evening, and after some careful work, the first pit was dug, and Aubrey was fished out by a crane.
