Crack!
The layer of ice cracked!
It happened without any warning!
Hearing this voice, a lot of people didn't react in time. They all looked strangely at the small river not far from the Public Security Bureau's compound.
Immediately, cries of alarm rang out as they charged over!
"Ah!"
"Save me!"
"Mum! Mum! "
"Dad! Ah! Save me! "
In the blink of an eye, the ice surface that the adults and children were standing on suddenly collapsed under everyone's astonished gazes. With another crack, a large hole appeared, and the children and parents who were playing on the ice all sank into it. Plop, plop, plop. Six or seven people fell into the icy river. The children did not know how to swim, and they sank instantly. One of the adults stretched out his hands and swam with all his might, but when he tried to grab onto the layer of ice beside him with both hands, the layer of ice collapsed again, and the adult also sank into the water!
Everyone was stunned!
"Ah! Yanyan! "
"Old Liu! Old Liu! "
"No!"
The children on the ice were the families of the people who were protesting outside the Public Security Bureau. Their families had been arrested, and they had come here to protest. That's why no one is looking after their children at home. That's why the parents brought them here to play on their own. But the ice is not solid. Actually, it was not strange. Although the river was frozen, and there was heavy snow yesterday, it was already spring. Even if the temperature was very cold, it could not be as cold as winter. Of course, the ice on the river would not be very solid!
Shit!
Dong Xuebing's heart skipped a beat, and his face changed!
Dong Xuebing knew the situation is critical and shouted. "BACK two minutes!"
… …
The scene flashed!
Time had returned!
When Dong Xuebing came back to his senses, he saw the angry faces of the crowd.
"You all are covering up for each other!"
"Dong Xuebing! You are a corrupt official! "
"Stop pretending to be kind! You don't care about the people at all! "
Everyone started scolding Dong Xuebing. Many government leaders' cars had arrived, and Secretary Wan, Mayor Zhong, Secretary Zhan, and the rest were watching from a distance.
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and ignored the protesting crowd. He ran towards the river and shouted. "Get to the bank! Hurry up! "
An adult on the ice glanced at Dong Xuebing and ignored him.
Dong Xuebing shouted. "What are you waiting for?! Come on up! It's not safe! "
The middle-aged man snorted and said, "That's none of your business! Why are you being so hypocritical? "
Dong Xuebing shouted. "It is spring now! The ice was very brittle! Get up here! Something bad will happen! "
The adult didn't care, and the other children continued to play on the ice, happily having a snowball fight.
Dong Xuebing panics. "Hurry! Come up! Would you be able to bear the responsibility? Bring the child up here! Now! "
Those adults are looking after their children, and the rest of the children are not from their families. But because everyone hates Dong Xuebing, and their relatives are still locked up in the Public Security Bureau, no one dares to listen to Dong Xuebing. The dozens of protesting residents are still standing there quietly, unmoved by Dong Xuebing.
"Stop pretending!"
"You don't have to worry about our children!"
"A corrupt official like you will have to step down sooner or later! Don't be so arrogant! "
Wan Fanglei and Zhong Zhengwei had wanted to leave after hearing Dong Xuebing's words. But after hearing what Dong Xuebing said, they felt the ice is not stable during this season. So, they did not board their vehicles and walked up to the ice. The rest of the leaders behind them saw them and followed.
Dong Xuebing quickly called out. "Secretary Wan, Mayor Zhong!"
Wan Fanglei immediately turns to a Public Security Officer. "Call some officers from the Bureau to evacuate the children on the ice. Don't let anything happen to them."
"Ok. I will go now!" The Officer replied.
Zhong Zhengwei added. "Evacuate the people at the entrance of the Bureau. Be careful not to cause any more conflicts."
"Yes, Sir." The Officer ran back and waved to the rest of the officers. The rest of the officers followed to evacuate the crowd.
"Chief."
"Chief Dong."
Luo Haiting and Liu Hanqing also ran over.
Dong Xuebing said anxiously. "Stop talking! Bring the children to the bank first! "
Luo Haiting and Liu Hanqing don't know why Chief Dong is so anxious, but this is the leader's order, and they did not say a word.
But at this moment, what was supposed to happen had happened!
Even though Dong Xuebing had used BACK to turn the situation around, the people at the scene hated him to the core and refused to listen to him!
Crack!
The surface of the ice cracked!
"Ah!"
"Help!"
"Mum! Mum! "
The few police officers who had just run over to evacuate the children on the ice were all stunned!
Everyone stared with their eyes wide open as they watched the two adults and three or four children fall into the icy water with a splash, never to come up again!
Chief Dong was right!
The surface of the ice had collapsed!
Wan Fanglei, Zhong Zhengwei, and the rest of the officers at the scene were shocked!
The faces of the citizens who were protesting at the side also turned pale, especially since many of them were the parents and relatives of those children. A woman even fainted on the spot!
"Ah! Yanyan! "
"Old Liu! Old Liu! "
"No!"
Dong Xuebing had rewound time, but the situation was still the same!
The situation was chaotic for a few seconds, and Wan Fanglei shouted. "Hurry up and save them! Get into the water to save them! "
Zhong Zhengwei knew something was wrong and turned to his secretary. "Call the ambulance! Hurry! "
"Yanyan!"
"Xiao Hu!"
"Ah! My son! My son fell into the water! "
"Hurry up and save my daughter! I beg you all to save her! "
The depth of the ice cave was about 2 meters. Although it was not big, it made it more difficult to rescue the children. If they dive into the water to save them, no one knows where they will be when they resurface. If there was a layer of ice above them, they might not be able to get out even if they rescued them!
An Audi drove over.
Xie Huilan had arrived and alighted from the car. "What happened?"
Dong Xuebing did not even turn to look at her and shouted. "The surface of the ice had cracked! Six to seven people had fallen into the water! "
Xie Huilan's face changed. She saw the leaders at the side did not move, and she took off her coat and walked towards the river.
Dong Xuebing was stunned and grabbed her. "What are you doing?!"
"Save them first!"
"You are pregnant!"
"I know, but it's too late!"
"The water is below zero degrees Celsius! You cannot go! "
The leaders at the side saw Mayor Xie's actions and panicked. They quickly surrounded Xie Huilan.
"Mayor Xie, you must not go!"
"That's right. You are pregnant!"
"Someone is going over! They will surely save them! "
Xie Huilan took a deep breath and did not say anything.
Dong Xuebing also wanted to go into the water, but he was injured two days ago. Although he had used REVERSE to reverse time, he did not recover from his injuries. If he did not have any external injuries, he might not be able to explain himself in the hospital. Now, he has more than a dozen injuries on his body, and he does not know how deep he can swim if he dives into the cold water.
In fact, it had only been less than ten seconds since everyone fell into the water.
At this moment, the first person jumped into the water without hesitation. He was not a police officer, but a parent of a child. His mind was on the child, so he jumped in directly.
Splash!
After that, two more officers jumped into the water!
After that, a staff member from the City Government and a Public Security Guard jumped into the water!
Four officers jumped into the water to rescue the child, but the situation after they jumped into the water was different.
The staff member reached out his hand to grab the child. But within two seconds, he rushed out of the water. His face was pale, and his lips had turned purple. The water temperature was below zero degrees Celsius. Even those in good health would not be able to withstand the cold. The guard beside him had stayed in the water longer than the staff member. His limbs were frozen and could not swim anymore. It was a police officer who was about to jump into the water who pulled him up. The two police officers who went into the water weren't so lucky. They didn't know if they had cramps or something, but one of the police officers immediately sank, and his head never popped up again. The other police officer grabbed a person who was struggling in the water, but when he tried to pull him back, he was pulled down by that person instead. He originally wanted to grab onto a life-saving straw, but who would have thought that both of them would sink instead!
Gurgle! Gurgle!
Bubbles appeared on the surface of the water!
"Shit!"
"Old Chen! Old Chen! "
"Little Zhang! Come up! "
But no one responded. There was only some churning waves.
Another police officer could not take it anymore. He ignored the people around him and rushed into the water. He wanted to save his colleague first, but after diving into the water, he did not come up again!
There were originally six or seven people, but no one could be saved. Now, the number of people submerged under the ice had reached nine!
The three police officers' lives were unknown!
Seeing this, everyone's expression changed.
Now, even a fool would understand. The water temperature was too cold, and this was ice. As long as one lost their direction underwater, it would be very difficult for them to break through the ice. No, it could be said that as long as one did not have professional training, they would not be able to dive in such cold water. This was completely different from swimming in a normal temperature river. This time, the police officers and officers who rushed over looked at each other. No one dared to go into the water again!
This was not a matter of courage!
It was also not a matter of being a Good Samaritan!
With the previous few people as an example, everyone knew that diving into the water would be suicide. There was no way to save anyone in such cold water!
