The torrential rain seemed to blot out the sky and the earth as it washed the earth.
"Stop the car! Stop the car now! "
"What is Chief Dong doing? Rescuing them? Is he crazy? "
"The landslide is coming! It's too late! "
"Chief Dong is still injured! How can he save them?! "
Many people could not believe their eyes as they looked at Dong Xuebing's back view. When Chief Dong ordered everyone to evacuate, some of them thought Dong Xuebing was afraid of death and disregarded the lives of the trapped people to protect himself and the County's leaders. But when they saw Dong Xuebing picking up a shovel and walking towards the thick layer of sand, they knew what Chief Dong was trying to do!
He is going to save them! He is going to save them alone!!
It's Chief Dong again! The villagers are in danger! Chief Dong is always the first to rush out!
A few people cried and looked at Chief Dong through the back window. No one had expected Dong Xuebing to rush out alone with a shovel. Rocks are still falling from the mountain, and the mudslide is unstable. If they rush out now, they will surely die. Furthermore, Chief Dong's hand is still bandaged, and his injuries are not healed yet!
Everyone boarded the bus, and only Dong Xuebing, whose hand is bandaged, stayed behind.
This is not something that can be described with words.
Shock, tears, and other emotions were written all over everyone's face!
Xie Huilan opened the window and shouted angrily. "Xiao Dong! Come back now! "
Liang Chengpeng panicked and shouted at Dong Xuebing. "Chief Dong! Come back! Come back! "
Dong Xuebing heard Liang Chengpeng shouting behind him, but he did not turn around or say anything. Liu Dahai might still be in the bus, and the rescue team and the villagers are still there. How can he go back now? Dong Xuebing still has BACK, and he is the only one who has a chance of saving the villagers. If he does not rush out now, those people will surely die.
That's why everyone can leave except Dong Xuebing!
He must save the villagers! He must save as many as he can!
"Chief Dong!"
"Chief Dong! Come back! "
Dong Xuebing saw the minibus stopped a few meters away and was furious. "Chen Fa! Hurry up and f * cking drive! "
There was a loud boom! A big tree rolled down from the mountain! It brushed against the rear of the minibus and smashed heavily on the ground! Danger was imminent!
"Chief Dong!"
"Xiao Dong!"
The rescue team and the people shouted at the same time.
Dong Xuebing did not say anything. He tightened his grip on the shovel and ran over the muddy ground. But after being in the rain for so long, the muddy ground had become softer. Dong Xuebing almost missed his first step. He quickly used the shovel to stabilize himself and continued to run towards the place where the tour bus was buried!
Time!
What they needed the most right now was time!
Dong Xuebing did not dare to waste a second. He ignored his own safety and quickened his pace!
Half a meter …
One meter …
Two meters …
Thump! The ground beneath his feet was empty!
Dong Xuebing blacked out, and the next moment, he fell into a mud pit!
"Ah!"
"Chief Dong!"
The people in the minibus screamed!
Dong Xuebing struggled for a while, but he could not get up. He was surrounded by mud, and the air in his chest was getting thinner. He could not hold on any longer. He held his breath and shouted in his heart. "BACK 10 seconds!" The scene changed, and Dong Xuebing was back on the muddy ground. Just when he was about to take a step forward, he changed his direction and went around the place where the accident happened!
It was only five to six meters, but it was dangerous!
Dong Xuebing almost died there three times. The mud under his feet was like a swamp, and it could swallow him whole!
Six meters! Dong Xuebing had finally walked six meters! He was one step closer to the bus!
But before Dong Xuebing could move forward, danger struck again. Dong Xuebing was wearing a raincoat, and his vision was limited. He could only turn his head slightly to take a look, and he heard someone shouting behind him. A rock, about the size of an arm, hit Dong Xuebing's waist!
"Hiss!"
Dong Xuebing screamed in pain, and his vision turned black. He was either dead or had fainted!
Damn! BACK 8 seconds!
… …
The scene changed! Time returned to normal!
Dong Xuebing regained his senses and did not even turn his head to look. He quickened his steps and ran forward!
Swoosh! The rock rolled down! It scraped past Dong Xuebing's back!
Dong Xuebing heaved a sigh of relief and got up from the mud. He continued to walk forward. Dong Xuebing is the kind of person who gets braver when he encounters setbacks. He was not afraid of walking on a tightrope. Instead, it made him more determined.
Seeing Dong Xuebing was in danger several times, the people in the minibus started shouting. In the end, Hui Tian Village Station's Da Leng volunteered. "Station Chief Chen! Don't drive! I will go and bring Chief Dong back! "Many officers shouted." I will go with you too! If Chief Dong does not leave! I will also stay behind to help! We cannot let Chief Dong risk his life alone! It's just a life! I will go all out! "
"Station Chief Chen! Let me go with you! "
"I will go too! Chief Dong is not afraid of death! I am also not afraid! "
The driver looked at Station Chief Chen beside him.
Chen Fa did not say anything.
Dong Xuebing turned around and saw the minibus was still there. He was furious and pointed at the back. "Didn't you hear what I said? Get out of here now! "
Chen Fa's eyes were red. "But you …"
Dong Xuebing shouted. "Don't mind me! Get as far away as you can! "
"Chief Dong!"
"Chief Dong!"
Another wave of gravel came crashing down from the mountain. Kacha! A window behind the minibus was smashed!
"Get lost!" Dong Xuebing panicked.
Chen Fa banged on the window. "… Go! Drive! "
Tears rolled down the driver's cheeks. Gritting his teeth, he cursed and stepped hard on the accelerator!
Cao Xupeng shouted from the back. "Stop the car! Who asked you to drive?! Hurry up and bring Chief Dong back! "
Liang Chengpeng also shouted. "Find two people! Bring Xiao Dong back even if you have to! His injuries are not healed yet! He is sending himself to his death! "
Everyone was touched by Dong Xuebing's fearlessness. He was like this when he saved the hostages at the school, the man who jumped off the building at the County's Party Committee Compound, and now. In Yan Tai County, Fen Zhou City, and Hebei Province, how many people can do what Chief Dong did?
Not even one!
Chen Fa was furious when he saw the driver hesitating to stop the car. He pulled the driver out of the driver's seat and jumped into the passenger seat. He stepped on the accelerator and continued to drive forward. Chen Fa ignored what his superiors and colleagues were saying. His eyes were red as he gripped the steering wheel tightly. There was only one thought in his mind. Even if he had to die, he had to send his superiors and citizens to a safe place!
"Chief Dong!"
"Chief Dong!"
Dong Xuebing was relieved when he saw the shouts getting further away. He looked at the rocks rolling down the mountain and smiled. These few days, Dong Xuebing had been recuperating at home, and he had accumulated less than 10 minutes of BACK. But this was only 10 meters, and he had used up about 2 minutes of BACK. He was not sure if he could make it back alive. But he knew he might not make it back alive.
It's useless to think so much now! Fight!
Dong Xuebing made up his mind and charged forward with the determination to die! He must save the people!
Eleven meters …
Twelve meters …
Thirteen meters …
The closer he is to the center, the more dangerous the terrain is.
Dong Xuebing fell into the deep pit five to six more times and used more than a minute of BACK to reach the spot where the bus crashed. The tour bus was nowhere to be seen, and the ground was covered with yellow sand. There was only a small dent in the ground, and Dong Xuebing guessed it should be where the bus windows or doors were. Because there was nothing there, the sand will sink into the ground, and that's why there is such a dent!
Dong Xuebing does not have time to think if this pit is the right spot. He can only take a gamble!
Dong Xuebing picked up a shovel and stabbed it into the ground. He used his feet to dig up some soil and threw it to the side!
Dong Xuebing's hand is still injured, and he cannot do any strenuous activities. Just a shovel is enough to aggravate his previous injuries, and Dong Xuebing grimaced in pain. He tightened his grip and endured the pain. Dong Xuebing shouted and used the shovel to dig the ground again!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Five to six rocks flew down from the mountain! Three of them hit Dong Xuebing!
Dong Xuebing shouted in pain and realized his right hand could not move. His right hand seems to be fractured!
BACK 5 seconds!
… …
Time returned!
Dong Xuebing quickly lowered his body and placed the shovel horizontally beside him. Clang … clang … two rocks hit the shovel, and one was dodged. Dong Xuebing's hand was in pain, and there are two shallow dents on the surface of the shovel. If one of the rocks hit his head, he will surely die!
Dong Xuebing did not care about the rocks beside him and continued to dig with the shovel!
Save him! Save him! Save him!
One time …
Two times …
Three times …
Dong Xuebing could feel the pain from his arm, but he was still digging.
The rocks flew past his head, but Dong Xuebing did not even blink and continued to dig.
On the minibus, everyone looked at Dong Xuebing's back view and felt a lump in their throats. That lonely back view, that bandaged arm, and that shovel that did not stop for even a second had never crossed their minds that there is someone like Chief Dong in Yan Tai County's government. At this moment, everyone was moved by Chief Dong's actions. A government leader like him deserves everyone's respect.
Unknowingly, many people began to shed silent tears.
This might be the last time they will see Chief Dong.
Xie Huilan sat quietly and narrowed her eyes, looking straight ahead. But Cao Xupeng could see Mayor Xie's eyelashes are twitching, and she is feeling emotional. Liang Chengpeng clenched his fists tightly. He had always wanted to do something for the commoners, but now, he had to admit that he will never do what Dong Xuebing did!
"Sob! Xiao Juan! "
"Leilei!"
The family members were still crying and calling their loved ones' names.
Liang Chengpeng looked at them. "Don't worry. Chief Dong had gone to save them. There will be no problems!" Someone added. "That's right. There's nothing Chief Dong can't do. During the kidnapping incident at Nan Liu Primary School, Chief Dong was also the one who rushed in to save the students. He was fine that time, and he should be fine this time."
But they are not saying this confidently. They are not doubting Dong Xuebing's capabilities. Everyone had witnessed Dong Xuebing's bravery and capabilities. But no matter how capable a person is, he is only one person and cannot go against nature. Landslides, mudslides, and rocks are all life-threatening. He might be able to avoid one, but not two. It's all about luck!
No one knows if Chief Dong can survive this!
Dong Xuebing also does not know!
Dong Xuebing felt exhausted, but there seems to be no end to the pit. Although this is not a mudslide or a swamp, it is not easy to dig. After digging with a shovel, the soil will slowly slide down. Dong Xuebing had dug for a long time, and he had only dug less than half a meter!
This cannot go on! I must hurry up!
Dong Xuebing ignored his injuries and continued to dig with the shovel. He only hopes the people trapped in the bus can hold on!
… …
It was pitch black inside the tour bus.
Liu Dahai was lying on the bus, gasping for air. He could hear a child crying beside him.
They had been trapped there for more than ten minutes. The windows at the back of the bus were already filled with mud and sand. There was only an empty space in front of the bus. If Liu Dahai and two other rescue team members had not blocked the door and one of the windows with cushions, the seven or eight people trapped in the bus would have been buried by the mud and sand. They would not have been able to hold on for so long.
But now, the bus is running out of oxygen, and despair is spreading.
"I can't hold on any longer! Huff! Huff! I can't breathe! "a young woman said with a sobbing tone.
Liu Dahai panted. "The rescue team will be here soon! Don't give up! Don't give up! "
An officer from Hui Tian Village Station shouted. "Listen up there. There are still rocks falling down. How are they going to save us? We might be abandoned. "
A child cried. "I don't want to die! Sob … sob … sob … Dad! Mum! Sob … sob … Come and save me! "
The atmosphere was contagious. The young woman and a boy also started to cry. "Someone come! Sob … sob … sob … Help! Help! " Bang … bang … bang … the desperate people kept hitting the bus. They want others to hear their cries for help. "Someone … save us! Sob … sob … sob … Help! There is no air! Sob … sob … sob … Help! "
Someone shouted. "Stop shouting! They must have run away! No one will care if we live or die! "
Everyone knows this is the case, but they are still hitting the bus, shouting, and crying!
Liu Dahai's head is getting dizzy, and he is suffering from a lack of oxygen. He opened his mouth and tried his best to breathe in the air. He pinched his neck and could not make a sound. The rest of the people around him are also in the same situation. They stopped shouting and closed their eyes in despair. We are going to die. Without oxygen, no one in the bus will survive!
One second …
Two seconds …
Three seconds …
After what seemed like a few centuries, just as everyone closed their eyes and waited for death, a clear voice suddenly knocked on everyone's heart!
It is the sound of someone digging something!
Someone is trying to save them!
Liu Dahai suddenly got the strength to sit up. "It's … the bus door … there is … someone … over there."
Many of them were already extremely weak. Everyone stared in the direction of the car door with wide eyes.
Crack …
Crack …
The sound is getting closer and closer!
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out. A chair that was stuck near the car door to block the mud and sand from sinking was suddenly pushed away from the top. A ray of moonlight shone in from that angle. At the same time, fresh air entered the bus, and everyone felt their chests relax. The oxygen that they had not breathed in for a long time is slowly entering their mouths. It is like they are reborn!
Alive!
We are alive!
A man shouted from the bus. "Is there anyone alive?"
"Yes! Yes! "
"Help!"
"Save us!"
Only Liu Dahai recognized this voice and exclaimed. "Chief Dong!"
It is Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing heard the shouts from below and shouted excitedly. "Old Liu! You are also fine? That's great! Hurry up! Get everyone to climb up one by one! There is not much time left! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! " Dong Xuebing's BACK is almost depleted, and if this carries on, he will not be able to revive if he dies. Every second is crucial!
Liu Dahai almost cried when he heard Dong Xuebing's voice.
"Everyone, hurry up!" Liu Dahai grabbed a child and pushed him up. "Don't push! Don't push! Send the child away first! "
The bus door was opened, and the sand outside was seeping in. There is not much time left!
"Everyone, hurry up!"
Although Liu Dahai also wants to climb up, he does not want to embarrass Dong Xuebing and the Public Security Bureau. That's why he was the last to climb up. After everyone climbed up, Liu Dahai climbed up!
I can see the sun again!
