After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

In the latter half of the night, the rain became heavier and heavier.

Although Shen Yao was a medical worker and didn't need to participate in the task of digging up the stones on the ground, she still rolled up the sleeves of her white coat, picked up the shovel she had brought, and helped the soldiers with whatever she could.

Some fine gravel was too slow to handle with a small shovel, so she simply put on the gloves that workers use to move bricks and picked up the gravel to move it aside.

Everyone was working hard, moving stones, tiles, and broken logs...

Some people haven't had a good night's sleep for two days and two nights, mostly just dozing off for ten or twenty minutes during shift changes, meal breaks, and rest periods.

Some people were so tired that they had caught a cold and had a low-grade fever, but they still gritted their teeth and persevered.

Everyone is racing against time.

Half an hour later, they finally saw a person's legs.

Everyone present was so happy that their eyes welled up with tears, and some of the female rescuers were already crying.

There's nothing more gratifying than seeing someone survive an earthquake.

After a few seconds of elation, everyone, under the captain's command, began to analyze how to scientifically and quickly rescue the person tied up underground.

After quickly discussing the plan, everyone went their separate ways.

Some people went to find sturdy wood, some went to bring over various cutting machines, and others prepared stretchers and first aid supplies.

The person who was buried was located under two rectangular supports.

The two stone pillars fell in a clever way, leaving a gap for the people buried underground.

Therefore, after clearing away all the stones on the upper layer, a large crane is needed to remove the two rectangular pillars.

Before that, the rescue team leader had Shen Yao assess the vital signs of the person buried underground through a small opening that had been drilled.

Shen Yao was very professional; in less than five minutes, she made a rough assessment from the man's confused narration.

"The injured patient is still conscious and not in immediate danger, but he is very weak because he hasn't eaten all day. Also, his thigh was injured by a heavy object, and he may need emergency wound treatment later."

"Okay, that's good." The captain breathed a sigh of relief.

His weathered and resolute face has remained tense ever since the rescue began.

Upon learning that the person buried underground was still alive, his serious face finally softened.

The plan was adjusted again, and soldiers, medical teams, and volunteers began working on the rescue efforts once more.

An hour later, when the patient was carried out and placed on a stretcher, Shen Yao heard everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.

Bo Yuxiu and Shen Yao worked together seamlessly, one providing oxygen and the other examining the patient's wounds.

After providing emergency hospital treatment, volunteers carried the body to the ambulance.

Rescuing one after another only represents a small victory.

There are still three-fifths of the area of ​​this village that have not been fully explored.

Everyone perked up again.

The second, the third, the fourth...

After the entire village had been searched and more than fifty people had been rescued, everyone hurriedly dragged their exhausted bodies and evacuated the village.

"Act quickly! The earthquake bureau has sent a warning that aftershocks will begin in 10 minutes!"

The captain knew that his team members were exhausted.

However, in order to survive, and to prevent these people from all over the country from coming here only to leave dead, he had no choice but to adopt the demeanor of a soldier and urge them to hurry up.

As dawn broke, Shen Yao held a first-aid kit in one hand and a small shovel in the other, feeling utterly exhausted.

If conditions allowed, she could lie down and sleep on this muddy ground right now.

"Are you very tired? Shall I carry you?" Bo Yuxiu noticed Shen Yao's fatigue and walked to her side.
