Chapter 1203: Chapter 1207: Self-Rescue
"Ah!" She cried out in pain, immediately reaching out to press her calf! Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she bit her lips tightly, forcing the tears back.
She absolutely cannot fall, she must get out! She cannot die here!
From the conversation between Lin Bao and his subordinates, she learned that the tunnel was filled with traps, so she must escape first. If it was true as Lin Bao said, and Beitang Yao came in to rescue her, what would happen then? Beitang Yao didn’t know about all the traps here; what would happen if he accidentally triggered one?
Lin Bao’s subordinates told him that as long as they didn’t touch the red buttons scattered everywhere, they would be fine. Every part of the tunnel was covered with red buttons, and a slight mistake could trigger them!
The path she was on now was a safe passage, but the lighting here was really challenging! She told herself to check her surroundings with every step and must not act recklessly!
Xia Qingqian’s dress was already dirty and disheveled, and the long skirt made walking inconvenient. She decisively tore it apart and ripped off the hem! Revealing a pair of slender, fair legs, though under light, her legs were bruised all over.
This dress was worth thirty thousand British Pounds, specially made in the United Kingdom and shipped back by Beitang Yao to meet the requirements of the HDC series. Yet, Xia Qingqian destroyed it without hesitation!
She studied medicine, so she had a certain understanding of emergency care. Her calf showed signs of a fracture, and she needed to find two wooden boards to stabilize it; otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to get out of here!
She forced herself to calm down! Her eyes slowly adapted to the darkness of the tunnel, and she leaned against the wall to rest for a while. What she urgently needed now was to find a wooden plank.
Maybe the heavens pitied her. As she intended to adjust her posture with both hands on the ground, unexpectedly, she touched something hard with her right hand. She reached out to feel it, picked it up, and held it up in front of her. It really was a wooden plank!
One wooden plank wasn’t enough! She thought there must be more planks nearby! With that thought in mind, she shifted her body lightly to the side to see if there were any more planks; she just needed two.
Sure enough, heaven favored her, leading her to the second wooden plank. She placed the plank aside, then leaned forward and slowly bent her leg into position. This action required her to exert a great deal of effort!
She endured the pain, biting her lips tightly, picked up the plank, and fixed it alongside her knee. With one hand pressing on either side, she grabbed the torn skirt hem with the other, wrapped it around the plank. The hand pressing the wooden plank also compressed the hem’s edges, while the other hand held the two ends of the fabric, applying slight force to secure the plank.
She tied a knot, securing the plank, then supported herself against the wall to stand up, which relieved some of her pain. She continued walking forward.
The exit was surrounded, leading Lin Bao to abandon her and flee. And this was the safe passage, as long as she kept moving forward, she should reach the exit soon!
She needed to leave quickly, still limping along while supporting herself on the wall. Each time her foot touched the ground, she found it difficult to bear! She didn’t need to touch her cheeks to know her face was now pale and haggard!
