Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The moment she saw Xu Kui, Xu Jiajia couldn’t help but cry. “Dad, Su Yun…”
Xu Kui hugged Xu Jiajia. He knew that his daughter must be feeling terrible now. This was because he had long seen through his daughter’s feelings for Su Yun. They were not as simple as friends. Otherwise, the two of them would not have had so many ties in the past.
It was not easy for Xu Jiajia to calm down. Xu Kui grabbed Xu Jiajia’s shoulder and asked in confusion, “Jiajia, why are you here?”
Xu Jiajia naturally would not expose her identity. Hence, she casually found an excuse to say that Su Yun had asked her to come. When she arrived, she realized that something had already happened to Su Yun.
In fact, when she found out about Su Yun’s accident, Xu Jiajia was outside the borders, preparing to return to the country legally through other means.
However, after knowing that something had happened to Cangluan Mountain, Xu Jiajia immediately panicked. Even though the other members of the team tried their best to stop her, she still returned resolutely.
“Dad, we will definitely be able to find Su Yun, right?” Xu Jiajia’s question seemed to be asking Xu Kui, but it was also more like asking herself.
Looking at the lonely Xu Jiajia, Xu Kui’s heart ached endlessly. “Jiajia, don’t worry. No matter what the reason is, I must find Su Yun!” Xu Kui quickly looked at the soldier beside him and said, “Now is not the time to talk. Help me take care of her. The search and rescue team needs to continue advancing!”
Xu Kui hurriedly ran far away. Seeing her father’s figure, Xu Jiajia quickly ran forward. “I’ll help too!”
Soon, Xu Jiajia stood in front of the ruins and began to help clean up the ruins. No matter what, Xu Jiajia was still a woman. There were many heavy objects that she could not break open with her own strength. Even so, Xu Jiajia did not complain at all. She gritted her teeth in the heavy rain and tried her best to do what she could.
“Su Yun, I will definitely find you. Wait for me!”
Xu Jiajia said these words to Su Yun silently in her heart over and over again. However, her red eyes from crying were constantly showing how much she cared about Su Yun.
Two more girls appeared at the scene of the ruins. Xu Jiajia and Zhou Xiaoxiao were both doing their best to search and rescue. They did not sleep or rest. Their eyes were red and their bodies were weak, but their faith prevented them from falling.
Time flew, and another day passed, but there was still no progress in the search and rescue.
In the command room, many advanced instruments had already been set up. Many archeological equipment with thermal imaging detectors had been released, making it easier for them to find Su Yun’s location.
Professor Sun and the others had been working in front of the computer for more than three days and three nights.
Even though many leaders had come to persuade them, and even the director of the Archaeological Bureau had personally expressed many times that Professor Sun and the others should rest, Professor Sun and the others had all politely rejected them.
“We’ll leave the mountain when we find Su Yun!”
No matter who tried to persuade Professor Sun, they almost always replied in this way.
Even Master Gu, who usually did not look very reliable, was seriously doing his best in front of the computer to analyze the possible changes in the underground environment after the collapse and Su Yun’s approximate location.
In comparison, the pain in Professor Sun and the others’ hearts was far greater than others because they were the ones who had personally seen Su Yun and Chen Jie buried underground.
In order to protect the cultural relics, they had to escape from the ancient tomb. No one would blame them for this, but they could not forgive themselves.
“Su Yun is still a young man. He shouldn’t have to suffer like this.”
In the past three days and three nights, Professor Sun had muttered this sentence countless times, but wasn’t this what everyone else was thinking?
The heavy rain prompted the search team to increase their search. This was because in such a heavy rain environment, the terrain might change at any time. It would only be harder to locate Su Yun.
They could only constantly hope that Su Yun would be safe. Otherwise, they would live in guilt for the rest of their lives.
The documents that Feng Shaoyu had previously reported had long been known by the higher-ups. Two days ago, the higher-ups quickly sent an order after an emergency meeting.
“We must find Su Yun at all costs!”
As soon as such an order was given, the military regions all over the country quickly responded.
Therefore, search and rescue teams from all over the country were quickly parachuted into Cangluan Mountain by helicopter. Materials from all over the country were also constantly being sent over through transport.
The search and rescue team was getting stronger and stronger, and the search and rescue area was also getting larger and larger. This was a mountain of work. They had to empty half of the mountain to find Su Yun’s… corpse.
What pained everyone was that there were no clues about Su Yun for a long time. Although it was already late at night after the storm, the search and rescue area of Cangluan Mountain was still brightly lit.
Many large searchlights that had been temporarily set up provided precious light sources for the members of the search and rescue team in the darkness. Everyone knew very well that the search and rescue operation was a race against time. The earlier they found Su Yun, the higher the chance of Su Yun surviving..
