Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Destroying Everyone’s Hope for Life
The path they came from was a trail following the cliff, already extremely narrow and difficult to walk.
As a result, after the heavy rain, that area completely collapsed, and now they frequently saw some rocks and sand sliding down constantly.
Without a path, they could only be trapped in this cave.
Ji Hanyu pointed to a suspension bridge ahead. Before, it was too dark and too far, he didn’t notice there was a wooden suspension bridge here.
It was a bridge that seemed quite old, and it was incredibly high, with an abyss beneath.
This place was at least several hundred meters away from the other side of the bridge.
"What’s the matter with this bridge? Why can’t we go across it?"
"Mr. Ji, the middle of this bridge has already broken, in fact, the bridge has already sagged in the middle. It’s just that this suspension bridge is so long, you can’t see it clearly from here. We simply cannot go across it."
Ji Hanyu asked, "Then how many people are trapped here in total? How many are elderly and children respectively?"
"In total, there are forty-five people, including eight elderly and nine children."
With so many people, it’s simply impossible to rescue them all within an hour.
Even for him, climbing up would take about ten minutes, that’s also assuming nothing goes wrong.
However, right now, there aren’t any other options.
Ji Hanyu distributed the rope hooks he brought to a few strong-looking workers and residents, "Climb up as fast as you can, Lin Zhan will pull you up from above.
Then you pull from above, and I’ll be below, we must send the children and the elderly up first."
"Mr. Ji, this..."
"Stop with the nonsense. Listen, the ground above is about to collapse too, if you want to save your children and parents, you have to give it everything!"
"Ahhhhh..."
Before Ji Hanyu finished his words, Lin Zhan’s scream got closer and closer.
Then there was a "bang," and Lin Zhan fell down along with a tree.
The crowd: "..."
Ji Hanyu: "..."
"Boss... Well..." Lin Zhan also felt the awkward atmosphere, "I just thought, since you hadn’t come up, I’d go down and check on you. But just as I was about to reach you, the tree suddenly went snap... and broke."
Ji Hanyu: "..."
"Special Assistant Lin... We were counting on that tree and you to get up there! But now, you’ve come down, and the tree’s come down, what are we to do?"
Lin Zhan: "..."
Uh, so did he just destroy everyone’s hope?
But, he couldn’t control the tree breaking!
Lin Zhan looked pitifully at Ji Hanyu, "Boss... I didn’t mean to."
"Alright, just say less, if you can’t talk, then don’t. Mr. Ji and Special Assistant Lin came specifically to rescue us."
"Exactly, exactly, we were trapped here anyway. If it went on for long, we’d either starve to death, freeze to death, or be crushed by falling rocks.
Now, at least before we die, we had something to eat, so we won’t be starving ghosts."
"Special Assistant Lin, I’m sorry for saying harsh things earlier," a resident apologized.
"It’s okay, it was my mistake, I should have listened to Boss and waited up there."
While everyone was discussing it, Ji Hanyu took a flashlight and stepped onto the wooden suspension bridge.
He walked about forty or fifty meters and saw where the bridge was broken in the middle.
The end of the broken bridge was still hanging mid-air.
"Ji Hanyu..."
"Ji Hanyu..."
"Ji Hanyu..."
