In the ruins.
A few days passed.
The radio was still playing.
"Chief Dong, rest in peace."
"Condolences to Comrade Dong Xuebing."
"The Party and the people will not forget you."
"The earthquake hero, Dong Xuebing, is recognized as a martyr."
These few days, Dong Xuebing had not switched off the radio. He had been listening to the radio non-stop. It had been almost twenty days since the earthquake, and most of the rescue efforts had almost ended. There were many reports about the earthquake, and most of them were talking about Dong Xuebing. Of course, Dong Xuebing had been listening to the radio for so many days, and he almost thought he had died. It's weird to hear others mourning for him.
But Dong Xuebing had been through a lot and had attended his own memorial services before. He is used to it.
So be it. Can't we save him now?
If no one comes to save me, I will really be a martyr!
Suddenly, a voice was heard over the PA. "The excavation of Dong Xuebing's body … is continuing … the City … is organizing manpower … continuously … Because the rubble is being cleared too quickly … the rescue team is on their way … We will inform everyone of the latest news."
What?
The excavation is still continuing?
Dong Xuebing was stunned. He had not heard any digging sounds for a few days.
Dong Xuebing immediately placed his ear on the stone and heard some faint sounds. Dong Xuebing thought it was the sound of a car, but it should be the sound of an excavator or other machines. They might be afraid of damaging his body, and that's why they were hanging him up one stone at a time. That's why Dong Xuebing did not notice it. More than a hundred people had organized a rescue team, and they were knocking and smashing stones. That's why Dong Xuebing could hear some of the sounds, and he thought no one is going to rescue him!
So, someone is still digging!
It doesn't matter if it's for his body or something else! This was all good news!
Dong Xuebing listened carefully. Rumble, rumble, and occasionally, he could hear the sound of rocks falling on the ground.
Someone is really digging!
The sound is getting louder!
Dong Xuebing could feel the soil falling off the ground, and he knew he is getting closer to the outside world. He is also getting closer to escaping. Dong Xuebing had waited for this day for a long time. He had had enough of living without any sunlight for more than ten days.
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Dong Xuebing waited with his eyes wide open.
One hour …
Five hours …
Ten hours …
The sounds of knocking and wheels were getting louder.
Dong Xuebing shouted, but no one outside could hear him. Maybe it was the digging noises.
Unknowingly, Dong Xuebing could not take it anymore, and he fell asleep. He had not slept for more than 20 hours, and he was exhausted.
Dong Xuebing doesn't know how long he slept.
When Dong Xuebing opened his eyes again, he felt something was wrong. Moonlight shines into his eyes. He had not seen light for more than ten days, and the moonlight is very bright. Dong Xuebing got excited. His body is covered with gravel, and his oxygen tank is empty. But the air around his mouth is still entering his lungs, and there are no signs of him running out of air. That means Dong Xuebing's sealed space is connected to the outside world!
Dong Xuebing was speechless. He quickly looks out through the hole where the moonlight shone in. It seems to be nighttime, and the sky is dark. Other than the moonlight, he could not see anything.
So, Dong Xuebing listened carefully and heard someone talking outside.
The voice was very soft, and Dong Xuebing could barely hear it.
"It's been more than ten days, right?"
"That's right. Including the time before, it's been almost twenty days."
"Sigh … I wonder if Chief Dong's body can still be preserved."
"Alright, that's enough, that's enough."
"Old Zheng, Old Sun, it's night. Let's go. We will continue tomorrow."
"Ok. I am exhausted. Let's go."
"Let's go and continue tomorrow."
One after another, the sound of footsteps also became sparse.
Dong Xuebing had not heard the real person speak for a long time, and his mind had become slow. He quickly shouted. "Hey! Hey! Don't go, brothers! Keep digging! I am still down there! Hey! Can you hear me? Can anyone hear me? "
No one answered.
The room was soundproof, and no one outside could hear what Dong Xuebing said.
Dong Xuebing was excited and frustrated at the same time. He shouted at the top of his lungs a few more times before stopping. He rubbed his forehead and thought for a while. He decided to do it himself. The rescuers had worked hard to clear the path for him and flattened most of the ruins. He should do the last step himself. Dong Xuebing had saved many days' worth of time. Although he had used REVERSE, it's not a lot. He still has more than ten minutes left, and it's enough for him to take the risk.
Dong Xuebing had a plan. He bent over and used his legs to support the moonlight on the rocks. After taking a few deep breaths, he exerted all his strength and kicked hard!
The rocks loosened!
The sand and rocks fell down!
Dong Xuebing wiped the dust off his face and spat on the ground. Then, he stomped on the ground again!
The rocks loosened again, and there was more light around the rocks. Dong Xuebing could even see a few stars!
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. There's hope now. He exerted all his strength and used the force from his back for the third time. By right, Dong Xuebing should not have much energy left after lying in an enclosed space for more than ten days. But after using REVERSE, his body will recover to the previous few days. That's why he is still full of energy.
Dong Xuebing kicked the rocks away, revealing a basketball-sized gap. The moonlight shone on Dong Xuebing's face!
Success!
I kicked the rocks away!
Dong Xuebing was overjoyed and quickly stuck his head out. He used all his strength to squeeze his body out, and a piece of gravel beside him was pushed out. Dong Xuebing's face lit up with joy.
Five minutes later.
Dong Xuebing crawled out from the ground and looked at the stars in the sky. His tears almost rolled down his cheeks!
Motherf * cker! I can finally see the light of day again!
