Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Who Says We Did Our Best?
Lin Zhan stood up from the ground and suddenly shouted in alarm, "Boss, run!"
"What’s all the fuss about?"
Lin Zhan quickly pushed Ji Hanyu inward, "Boss... don’t go any further, this area is about to collapse."
Lin Zhan had been lying on the ground just now, and when he got up, he noticed a crack in the ground, a hand’s width wide and several feet deep.
Ji Hanyu walked over, shining his flashlight to inspect it carefully.
Lin Zhan said urgently, "Boss, this place is about to collapse. You should not go any further; we should leave immediately."
"Leave?" Ji Hanyu said, "We could leave, but what about the people down there? Just watch them get crushed or buried alive?"
"But Boss, what can we do? This cliff is so high, and it’s just the two of us here. We should quickly find our team or a rescue squad to come."
Ji Hanyu carefully examined the ground and the large fissure and even measured something with his hand, "No, there’s no time.
In at most an hour, this place will completely collapse."
The mountain is cut off from power and internet, and if they walk down the mountain, it would take at least over an hour.
Then with the rescue team coming up, it would take at least two hours.
All in all, that would take at least three hours.
The people down there would already be buried.
"Boss, you said it yourself," Lin Zhan was insistent on making Ji Hanyu leave, "Boss, it’s not that we don’t want to save them, but we can’t save them. We’ve done our best; you should leave now."
"Who said we’ve done our best?" Ji Hanyu put down his bag and threw it directly down below.
"Listen carefully, you down there, you’ll be saved soon, don’t panic!
The bag is filled with food and water, hurry up and fill your stomachs first."
"Boss... are you crazy?" Lin Zhan looked at Ji Hanyu in disbelief, not understanding what he was trying to do.
This place is already a danger zone, and he must leave immediately.
Ji Hanyu took Lin Zhan’s bag directly, opened it, and found it full of grappling ropes.
"I, Ji Hanyu, never do anything without certainty. When I say I can save them, I mean it.
We still have one hour. This won’t collapse so quickly."
As Ji Hanyu spoke, he was already tying a rope around himself.
He looped the other end of the rope around a tree trunk at the cliff’s edge and began climbing down the cliff face.
"Boss..." Lin Zhan didn’t know what to say.
"You stay up here and watch. Keep me informed of the situation at all times. I’ll go down first to see what’s happening below. Do not come down without my permission."
"If Boss is going down, then I should be the one..."
"Enough!" Ji Hanyu interrupted Lin Zhan impatiently, "Now’s not the time to be dawdling!"
Lin Zhan: "..."
Ji Hanyu’s movements were swift, and it didn’t take him long to reach the bottom.
The people below were eating the food in big bites and were very surprised to see Ji Hanyu, "Mr. Ji, how did you..."
"Now’s not the time for that..." As Ji Hanyu spoke, he was surveying the surroundings.
When he got a clear view of the area, Ji Hanyu frowned; the situation was worse than he had imagined.
A worker explained, "During construction, we encountered a massive rainstorm, and a resident said there was a cave here, so we came in to take shelter from the rain.
The rainstorm lasted the entire night, and when morning came, we were preparing to leave.
But suddenly we heard a loud rumbling sound..."
The worker pointed to the road that had completely collapsed, "The road we came by has completely collapsed, and we’ve been trapped here."
