“You guys move back a little. We'll dig a rescue passage.” After analyzing the
situation, they discovered a boulder blocking their way, and forcefully breaking it
could potentially cause a collapse. It was then that a rescue member announced
some shocking news. “Their breathing is weak. We need to send them out, else
they won't make it. Also, we're facing an issue, Mr. Quarles. There's a rock ahead
that can only be blasted open with a small explosive, but we're concerned about
the risk of collapse. If we use other methods, it may take us three more hours.”
Ethan contemplated the situation. With the lives of three individuals slipping
away, he quickly decided, “No, three of my men are unconscious, and their lives
are at stake right. now.” “But if we forcefully detonate the explosives, you will all
be at risk, Mr. Quarles. We can't take the risk, and your status-"
“Quit it with the status thing. Here, everyone's life is equally important. There is
no distinction. of rank.” Ethan interjected. “Alright.” The rescue team captain
nodded after coming to himself. “I'll select the best blasting position. Give me ten
minutes.”
“Thank you,” said Ethan before stepping back to the side of his subordinates.
The blasting work began intensely, and everyone held their breath and listened to
the work unfolding on the other side. They were eager to be rescued but also
worried about encountering further danger.
One of the team members delivered this news to the communication team, and it
quickly. reached Edward, who let out a heavy sigh of relief after the call. His only
son was still alive. It was the greatest blessing from above to him.
As for Josephine, she hadn't received any news yet, for only a few people knew
about this information. It was done to avoid disrupting the rescue operation and
to protect the news.
After all, Ethan's current predicament was likely orchestrated by someone with ill
intentions. With the complex crowd of rescue personnel, controlling the spread of
information was another way to protect Ethan.
In the dark cave, with a loud explosion, the previously obstructing rock could be
heard breaking into heavy fragments, and a hole big enough for one person to
pass through appeared.
“Quickly, carry the injured out,” Ethan. immediately commanded his subordinates
to transport the wounded first. The rescue personnel on the other side were
ready to receive them outside. Soon, the three injured individuals were brought
out, followed by the departure of the staff one by one.
“Mr. Ethan, please leave!” one of Ethan's bodyguards urged him to leave first, but
Ethan. looked at his frightened subordinates beside him. He didn’t leave
immediately but stayed behind to calm them down.
“Go out one by one in an orderly manner. Don't rush. We will all make it out
safely,” Ethan reassured them. One young engineer covered his face and burst
into tears. The joy of being rescued and the fear suppressed within him
overwhelmed his emotions.
“Mr. Ethan! However, the bodyguards hoped Ethan would prioritize his own
escape. “Let them go first,” Ethan ordered firmly. His departure would only
increase the employees’ fear.
Soon, more than twenty employees left one. after another, and Ethan instructed
his bodyguards to assist the employees who were weak in their legs. However,
just as the last employee left, a loud rumbling sound could be heard,
accompanied by a muffled groaning in the air, as if something couldn’t withstand
the pressure.
“Mr. Ethan, hurry! This place is about to collapse,” the remaining two bodyguards
exclaimed. “Get out quickly. It's collapsing!” The rescue team members also
started to panic. They could clearly feel vibrations under their feet, indicating the
possibility of a large-scale collapse.
