Chapter 205 Rebirth

In a trance, Zhang Jun seemed to hear someone calling his name from a distant place.

The voice seemed to come from a deep dark tunnel, vaguely, but with an inexplicable force that pulled him to gradually regain consciousness.

As his consciousness came back, the voice became more and more real. He slowly opened his eyes, but all he saw was a thick darkness.

The heavy pressure coming from his body was like a huge rock, which made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

In an instant, the memory of being hit suddenly emerged in his mind like a surging tide, and he was completely awake in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Hou Tianyu's extremely weak voice, calling his name again and again.

Zhang Jun's heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly responded, asking anxiously: "How are you now?" At this moment, his voice trembled unconsciously.

Hou Tianyu answered him weakly: "I... I'm fine. Are you... Are you hurt anywhere?"

Zhang Jun listened to Hou Tianyu's weak voice and said quickly, "Don't talk for now. Save your energy."

As he spoke, he pulled one hand free with difficulty, and quickly shuttled through his own space in his consciousness, eagerly searching for anything that might be useful.

Finally, he found a flashlight and turned it on carefully.

The sudden bright light made Zhang Jun a little difficult to adapt to. After a few seconds of adjustment, he saw Hou Tianyu on top of him and Zhou Guoqiang lying next to him.

With the help of the flashlight, Zhang Jun carefully observed the situation around him.

He was extremely anxious, but he didn't know how serious Hou Tianyu's condition was.

His consciousness once again searched rapidly in space, eager to find the tools that could rescue them.

At this moment, Hou Tianyu's weak voice came again: "Zhang Jun, I... I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep..."

When Zhang Jun heard this, his heart instantly rose to his throat. He quickly reached out his hand and gently patted Hou Tianyu's face, stammering, "Don't sleep, don't sleep! You must stay awake, we still have to get out alive together, do you hear me? Do you hear me!"

By the end, Zhang Jun's voice was already filled with tears.

Hou Tianyu responded weakly. Seeing this, Zhang Jun hurriedly took out a bottle of pure water from the space, tremblingly unscrewed the bottle cap, and carefully handed it to Hou Tianyu's mouth.

Hou Tianyu opened his mouth slightly and took a small sip reluctantly.

Zhang Jun didn't have time to stop and continued searching in the space, but the more anxious he was, the harder it was to find the right tools.

Suddenly, his consciousness captured a steel pipe.

I collected it from a little kid two days ago. I exchanged it for a packet of instant noodles.

He remembered that at that time, he just felt sorry for the child and made the exchange, but he didn't expect that it would come in handy in such a crucial way at this moment.

Zhang Jun quickly took out the steel pipe and said to Hou Tianyu, "Look, I found a steel pipe. Let me try to pry open the cement board on you."

After saying that, he inserted the steel pipe into the gap between his body and the ground, and struggled to find a foothold. Just as he pried a little harder, dirt and rubble fell from above his head. Fortunately, no new collapse occurred.

Zhang Jun could only keep trying. While trying, he talked to Hou Tianyu, trying to keep him awake: "Brother Tianyu, hold on a little longer, we will definitely get out. Think about it, after we get out, we will have to build a better base together."

The cement slab pressing on Hou Tianyu, plus Hou Tianyu's own weight, made Zhang Jun quite strenuous.

Every time he exerted force, it seemed as if all his strength was exhausted.

Finally, after about ten minutes of hard work, the situation took a turn for the better and Hou Tianyu gradually felt the weight on him was gradually lightening.

Zhang Jun hurriedly asked: "Brother Tianyu, can you try to pull your body out?"

Hou Tianyu tried it, but said helplessly: "It still doesn't work."

Zhang Jun gritted his teeth and lifted the stone slab again.

This time, the movement was a little bigger, and more dust fell on his head, instantly blinding his eyes, making him unable to open them at all.

Fortunately, this effort was effective.

Hou Tianyu finally pulled his body out from under the stone slab. He used all his strength to move to Zhang Jun's side. He reached out to wipe the dust from Zhang Jun's eyes so that he could see again.

Then he looked around to see how to help Zhang Jun reduce the weight.

Because through the light of the flashlight, he saw that Zhang Jun's face was already covered with beads of sweat, and the veins on his arms that were supporting the weight of the cement slab were bulging, as if he would be unable to bear the weight at any time.

Although Hou Tianyu had already pulled himself out, Zhang Jun did not dare to put down the concrete slab directly, for fear of causing a new collapse and making the situation worse.

Hou Tianyu searched carefully in this limited narrow space with a flashlight. Soon, he found a large cement brick. He carefully pulled out the cement brick and stuck it in the gap between the cement board and the ground.

Zhang Jun immediately felt the weight on his hands lighten a lot. The two of them were busy again, looking for the right angle, and used the steel pipe to support the cement board steadily.

Then, the two of them slowly sat down against the wall, breathing heavily.

At this point, they were all exhausted, as if every bit of strength in their bodies had been drained.

Zhang Jun unscrewed the bottle of mineral water, filled himself with half a bottle of water, and handed the remaining half to Hou Tianyu. Hou Tianyu took it and drank the rest of the water in one breath.

After resting for a few minutes, they picked up flashlights and went to check on Zhou Guoqiang. Zhou Guoqiang was obviously not so lucky, as one of his legs was hit hard by a cement block and looked bloody. It was very likely that his leg was broken.

Zhang Jun took out two more Snickers bars from the space and handed one to Hou Tianyu. The two of them finished the Snickers bars in silence and then sat there quietly. They knew that they needed to recover their strength as soon as possible to have more life.

After an unknown amount of time, they faintly heard the sound of rescue.

The two men were cheered up and quickly responded loudly. After hearing their voices, the rescue soldiers approached them cautiously.

They described the situation inside in detail to the rescuers. After half an hour of intense rescue, the three were finally rescued successfully.

Zhou Guoqiang was quickly sent for emergency treatment.

Zhang Jun and Hou Tianyu looked at each other, exhaled heavily, and smiled as if they had survived a disaster. What else could make people feel happier and more fortunate than surviving a disaster?

After a short rest, the two of them returned to their work at the base without hesitation.

After this life-and-death test, their relationship became closer, and it seemed that their friendship had grown deeper through this ordeal.
