Long Zhengyu solemnly nodded and said, "I've already given the order. Aside from hundreds of workers and dozens of firefighters on the construction site, the City Police and our Long Family's security guards are also doing their best to search. You can rest assured that we'll find the missing workers even if we have to turn over every inch of the land. "
"Let's go and help!"
Tan Xiu patted Long Zhengyu's shoulder and strode toward the construction site. The moment he stepped into the site, he had already released his spiritual sense to cover a radius of 200 to 300 square meters.
At this moment …
He had already found two corpses and four workers who were still alive under the rubble. However, two of the four workers were seriously injured. If he didn't rescue them in time, they wouldn't be able to live for more than a few hours.
At the same time, Tan Xiu also found a stair-shaped hole under the ruins. Tens of meters below the hole, there were several doors. Even his spiritual sense couldn't probe the innermost door.
"An array?"
Tan Xiu squinted his eyes and quickly came to the ruins. He pointed down and said in a deep voice, "Zhengyu, immediately send someone to dig this place. Remember to be very careful. If I'm not mistaken, there should be trapped workers down there. "
Long Zhengyu stared blankly and quickly crouched on the ground to listen. He then asked with a puzzled expression, "How come I don't hear anything?"
"My hearing is several times better than ordinary people," said Tan Xiu lightly.
Long Zhengyu pondered for a moment. Due to his absolute trust in Tan Xiu, he immediately called more than a dozen workers and several firefighters to start digging the waste above.
"Slow down!"
Tan Xiu didn't stay idle either. He took a pair of gloves and began to move the steel and cement. Even Yang Le and the four experts from the Everlasting Feast Hall also joined in.
Ten minutes later.
A worker shouted, "Boss, these steel and cement bars are pressed down by that big rock. We can't move them without a crane! If we don't move them, we won't be able to carry out the cleaning work. "
Long Zhengyu frowned, a troubled expression on his face. It was unrealistic to call a crane at this time. The scene here was so chaotic that even using a crane would be very troublesome.
Tan Xiu said, "Get out of the way. I'll move it."
The worker said angrily, "Don't mess around. This stone is at least four or five hundred pounds. Even a few adult men can't move it. Moreover, even if a few people were to move it at the same time, they would still need to clear up the surrounding things, which would waste time. So, they might not be able to move it. "
Tan Xiu knew that the worker was right. The environment here was too bad. A slight carelessness could cause a second collapse, and the people above could be injured. If it was an ordinary person, perhaps three or four strong men would really have a hard time moving that stone out.
However!
Was he an ordinary person?
Tan Xiu directly pushed the worker away and shouted in a deep voice, "Long Zhengyu, tell the others to retreat. Clear a space for me. "
Hearing this, Long Zhengyu immediately followed Tan Xiu's instructions.
Immediately after.
Tan Xiu stood in the deep pit and looked at the half-exposed boulder beside his feet. He hugged it with both hands and took a deep breath.
"What is he doing? Is he going to move that stone out alone? "
"Is this young man stupid? Does he think he's a Hercules? "
"He's overestimating himself. If he can move that big rock out, I'll eat that big rock. "
"Alas, how could Chief Long have such a friend, really …"
"…"
The discussions around them were not concealed at all. At this time, even Yang Le showed a disdainful look, secretly despising Tan Xiu for being too disgraceful. Even if Tan Xiu's skill was better, did he really think that his strength was great?
"Overestimating himself!"
Yang Le muttered in his heart.
However, Tang Xiu didn't pay attention to the comments around him. Before he exerted his strength, he easily moved the boulder that still had half of his body buried inside. However, in order not to be so eye-catching, he pretended to use all his strength to move the stone out with "difficulty".
"Hiss …"
Yang Le watched Tan Xiu move the boulder out, his eyeballs almost fell out of his eye sockets. Although he had a strong mind, he still could not help but gasp.
And the surrounding workers, firefighters, and others who were just talking with disdain and sarcasm, were all dumbfounded as if they were petrified. After a while, when Tan Xiu had thrown the stone out of the deep pit, they woke up one by one as if waking up from a dream.
"Oh my God! What did I just see? "
"This … is this Superman? A four or five hundred kilograms big stone, he, he, he … he actually moved it out alone? "
"God! A four or five hundred kilograms big stone, several people may not be able to move it, not to mention that half of the stone was buried in the soil, how could he move it? This is simply inhuman! "
"Too terrifying!"
"…"
Long Zhengyu gave a thumbs up to Tan Xiu and then shouted in a deep voice, "Don't just stand there and do nothing. Hurry up and dig down. I think I heard a sound below, which means we're digging in the right place. Also, be careful not to cause a second collapse. "
"Understood!"
The surrounding people looked at Tan Xiu in horror and shouted in unison.
Time fleeted by. Half an hour later, dozens of people worked together and dug down two or three meters. Finally, they saw a hand raised up from the hole below. The hand was stained with blood, accompanied by shouts of "Help".
"Someone is still alive."
A worker shouted excitedly.
Immediately after, everyone became more energetic and finally spent a great deal of effort to successfully rescue the two seriously injured workers inside. Tan Xiu even personally treated the two. Even if the medical facilities were limited, Tan Xiu had already saved their lives.
As the hospital's paramedics took the two seriously injured workers away, Long Zhengyu finally found the time to give a thumbs up to Tan Xiu and said, "Brother Tang, I know you're amazing. I believe in you. You have good hearing, so why don't you listen again and see if there are any other workers under the ground crying for help? "
"Alright!"
Tan Xiu replied. After pretending for a few minutes, he pointed to another place dozens of meters away and said, "There are people down there. They should still be alive! "
Long Zhengyu was overjoyed and shouted, "Come on, dig and save them!"
Now, everyone was convinced by Tan Xiu. Under Long Zhengyu's order, dozens of people began to dig and finally spent more than half an hour to successfully rescue the two people inside.
"Zhengyu, you said the number of missing people is seven?"
Tang Xiu released his spiritual sense and carefully searched every place. After searching every crack leading to the bottom, he still only found four people who were alive and two who were already dead.
"Yes, it's really seven people." Long Zhengyu nodded.
Tan Xiu's brows deeply furrowed because he really couldn't find where the seventh person had gone. In other words, there were only two possibilities at present. The first one was that the number of missing people was wrong and there were actually only six people buried under the ground. The second one was that one person was buried in the soil and didn't reveal a crack outside.
A few minutes later, Tan Xiu walked around and randomly picked a few places to let everyone start digging. One of them was the place where the two bodies were buried. He then took Yang Le and began to dig above the entrance of the ancient tomb. At the first glimmer of dawn, the two corpses were dug out.
"Chief Long, we found them! We found them!"
A middle-aged man who looked like a leader ran into the ruins while panting and shouted.
Long Zhengyu led everyone to find the seventh missing worker. Upon hearing the middle-aged man's shout, he immediately asked loudly, "What do you mean?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "The seventh missing person is Li Quan. He skipped work and went out to drink. He just came back drunk. He's now sleeping in the ditch near the shed! "
"Bastard!"
Long Zhengyu flew into a rage and angrily cursed.
Tan Xiu also heard the middle-aged man's words at this time. A wry smile appeared on his face as he walked to Long Zhengyu's side and said, "Zhengyu, since all the missing people have been found, tell the police and firefighters to leave! Also, tell all the workers to go back and rest. "
Long Zhengyu nodded without a word. After the tossing and turning, the police and firefighters left one after another, as well as the workers withdrew from the construction site. However, under Tan Xiu's quiet instructions, the dozens of security guards of the Long Group did not leave. Instead, they blocked the collapsed construction site and prohibited anyone from entering.
"What's the meaning of this, Brother Tang?"
Long Zhengyu came to Tan Xiu's side and looked at Tan Xiu, Yang Le, and the four experts of the Everlasting Feast Hall who were still digging the ruins. A strange expression immediately appeared on his face.
"I suspect that the entrance to the ancient tomb is down there. Since the collapse happened, I want to go down and see what kind of ancient tomb it is," said Tan Xiu.
Long Zhengyu was shaken inwardly and hastily said in horror, "Don't! Don't do anything stupid! You'll be trapped down there in case there's a second collapse. "
"Don't worry!" Tan Xiu said with a smile. "I know what I'm capable of. I won't go down there and risk my life if I don't have the ability! Also, he's Yang Le, a friend of mine. He has studied a lot of ancient tombs. I'll let him go with me, so you can rest assured! "
Long Zhengyu hesitated for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go with you."
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "The most important thing for you now is not to go with me, but to appease the workers. Then go to the hospital to visit the wounded and comfort their families. As for the dead workers, give them heavy compensation! Take care of their families. "
"Then, what if …" Long Zhengyu hesitated.
"There's no if." Tan Xiu waved his hand and said, "Don't tell me you don't believe in my ability?"
Long Zhengyu thought about it and felt that he should indeed appear in the hospital to deal with the aftermath. Therefore, he nodded and told Tan Xiu to be careful before he left the Walled Hill Village construction site.
