Although the rescue speed was much slower, every step was taken extremely steadily.
Zhou Shuwan no longer cared about her image at this time. She held the display screen, knelt on the ground, stared at the screen, and her face was full of concentration.
"You can go forward this way, but be careful, there's a suspended stone slab below." She used her spatial perception to quickly direct the rescuers' direction of advance.
The soldiers had no doubts about her command, and everyone followed her instructions strictly.
Even if some people were curious about her instrument, their first priority was rescue, and coupled with the strict military discipline, no one dared to discuss it privately.
Qi Mingyu stood beside Zhou Shuwan, silently helping her hold the tools, ready to provide support at any time.
The rescue work was carried out in an orderly manner. Zhou Shuwan's eyes were focused and sharp, as if they could penetrate layers of ice and soil and see every detail under the ruins.
"This way, move forward two meters. Be careful of the soil collapse on the left."
After hearing the order, the soldiers moved forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution, for fear that a single mistake would cause a second collapse.
"Stop!" Zhou Shuwan suddenly raised his hand, frowning slightly, his gaze lingering on a certain spot on the ground for a few seconds: "The foundation here is unstable, we need to take a detour."
Major Wei stood behind her, his eyes closely following her instructions.
His left leg had just received temporary treatment from Zhou Shuwan. Although the pain was greatly reduced, it was still a little inconvenient for him to walk.
Despite this, he still stood straight with a solemn expression, as if he didn't feel the pain in his leg.
"Doctor Zhou, how long do you think it will take us to open up access to the kitchen?" he asked in a low voice.
Zhou Shuwan shook his head, his attitude very objective. "The kitchen area structure is relatively stable. The survivors are hiding in the triangular space formed inside. Their lives are not in danger for the time being. However, the oxygen supply may be limited. We need to clear the passage as soon as possible."
With so many people crowded into such a small area like the kitchen, everyone could foresee that the oxygen would quickly be depleted.
Major Wei nodded, pursed his lips and stared at the rescue work on the scene.
In the huge ruins, the only sound was the dull knocking of tools on the ice.
The giant machine first moved the top, more stable cement slab away, and then the soldiers came forward with shovels, hoes and other tools.
The cold wind blew, blowing up snowflakes that landed on their shoulders and hat brims.
Even in such a harsh environment, the soldiers' movements were still orderly and there was no trace of panic.
Zhou Shuwan once again spoke out in time to remind him: "Stop! There are cracks underground here, you can't dig directly."
The soldiers immediately stopped what they were doing.
Zhou Shuwan pointed to the left: "Go around from that side, the foundation over there is more stable."
Because the kitchen area had the largest number of people hiding, the collapse of the roof and surrounding areas was also very complicated.
The soldiers advanced cautiously for more than three hours.
Zhou Shuwan maintained the same posture, checking the situation below. Her hands and feet were numb, but at this moment, every rescuer, including her, did not care about their own hard work.
Finally, she showed a slightly excited expression: "Almost there, there are about ten meters left to completely open the passage, but there are several unstable areas in the middle, we have to be careful to avoid them."
"Okay! Hurry up!" Major Wei's eyes lit up.
The others were also shocked.
The team continued to move forward, taking every step with extreme caution.
But just when the dawn of victory was just around the corner, a slight "crackling" sound suddenly came from the front, and the ice seemed to be loosening.
Zhou Shuwan's expression changed instantly, and he raised his hand and shouted, "Back off! Everyone back off!"
The soldiers reacted quickly and retreated.
Just as they had retreated a few meters, the ice in front of them suddenly collapsed, and huge blocks of ice mixed with the floor fell into the abyss, stirring up a cloud of dust and snow.
