Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

Fortunately, however, no one was injured or killed, and only a few people suffered minor scratches during the escape.

"Yang Zhuang, do you think anyone will come to rescue us?" asked a miner named Lao Zhao, his voice filled with despair and fear.

"Of course someone will come to rescue us, Lao Zhao." Yang Zhuang answered firmly, even though his own voice became hoarse due to long-term tension and fatigue.

According to regulations, these college graduates from professional schools must stay underground for a full year before they can go to work above ground.

After saying that, Yang Zhuang turned around and looked at the reference of his water level. More than ten hours had passed, but the water level did not drop. He couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

When Yang Zhuang first came to the mine, he keenly noticed that the waterproofing facilities of the entire mine were just for show.

He immediately reported the problem to his team leader, but the team leader didn't care. The team leader confidently stated that they had been operating in this way for many years and had never had any accidents.

As time went by, Yang Zhuang gradually accepted his team leader's point of view. However, shortly after going down the mine today, Yang Zhuang suddenly felt that the coal seam had become unusually cold!

Because when the coal seam contains moisture, it will quickly absorb the body's heat, causing it to feel cool to the touch. With his keen intuition for danger, Yang Zhuang realized that an accident might happen.

Without hesitation, he shouted for everyone to run away. Unfortunately, the flooding happened very quickly, and a large amount of water gushed out instantly, and it didn't take long for the water to reach the waist level.

If Yang Zhuang had not reacted quickly and taken decisive action, I'm afraid that all the hundreds of miners would have died here today.

Zhao Qingliang had rushed here from Quancheng for more than ten hours and had been standing at the scene the entire time. Wen Tao checked the time and said, "Governor, it's already past twelve o'clock. Please go to the car and rest for a while. I'll keep an eye on the scene."

"I can't sleep at this time." Zhao Qingliang shook his head.

Wen Tao was still trying to persuade Zhao Qingliang to rest when Li Hui, secretary of the Taicheng Municipal Party Committee, hurried over and said excitedly, "Governor, Director Wen, the water level has dropped significantly. We can now get in to rescue people!"

The water level has finally dropped!

The tension on Zhao Qingliang's face relaxed when he heard this.

"All vehicles from all levels of government, public institutions, medical, fire, and public security in Taicheng City must be concentrated near the mine. All medical units must enter emergency status. At the same time, notify Wei City and Qingniao City to make emergency preparations and send medical rescue teams!" Zhao Qingliang immediately began to give orders.

Underground, time passed by minute by minute, and nearly twenty hours had passed since they were trapped.

After a long period without food or water, the miners gradually lost their strength. Some of them even fainted due to exhaustion, but the other miners did not give up.

They used their bodies to support the collapsed coworker and supported each other.

In this difficult time, everyone has only one firm belief in their hearts - hold on!

They believed that someone would come to rescue them.

Yang Zhuang kept his eyes on the water level reference he had found in advance, and every minute seemed particularly long.

Suddenly, he found that the water level seemed to be much lower than the reference.

This subtle change gave him a glimmer of hope.

He immediately told his fellow workers about his discovery: "The water level has dropped! We have hope!" Hearing his words, the miners around him raised their heads, with anticipation shining in their eyes.

Although they were physically exhausted, they knew that this might be their chance of survival.
