“It’s good to be dead. It’s unfair that we have no men at home but Ye Shuyun has a man.I can’t wait to see how they will fare when Lu Jin is gone. It’s a pity for Yan Huan anyway.” Qin Xiaoyue looked at her fingers. “That lady is so good at making money and has great fame. If she was with you, then she can help you. It’s such a waste.”
“If it is not for my use, then it is better for her to be dead, isn’t it?
It seems like heaven is on their side.
Lu Qin lifted the tip of his mouth, revealing a cold smile.
In the distance, it seemed that the smell of dust had wafted through the air to the Sea City, leaving behind endless worries and torment.
People from afar, wondering if you all are still safe and sound.
People from afar, wondering if you all are still alive.
Lu Yi leaned against one side of the door, deadly staring at the television with a pair of eyes filled with blood veins. He did not sleep for a day, he could not sleep, and more like he dared not sleep.
He could not accept the fact of losing his father and his wife.
The last thing his Huan Huan told him was “I love you.”
If they were all gone, tell him, what should he do? How was he going to live his life? No, he could not accept it. This was absolutely unacceptable to him.
Every second and minute ticked by, the torture was not only one’s energy and spirit, but also the soul of a person. It was totally more unbearable and painful than being cut into pieces. There was not even a tiny bit of news about the earthquake at the Serene City. The only thing one could do was to wait till dawn when helicopters went over to find out if they were still there or they were still alive.
The sun finally rose from the east. It represents brightness and hope as the sun still rises, and the sun indeed rose. At one point in time, it was not known how many times the survivors had experienced the aftershocks. They would most likely think that the sun would never rise again, and the world would be in darkness forever. It could be the end of the world, and they could not survive any longer.
The moment the sun rose, those people who were in great despair, once again felt a tinge of hope in their heart as though this was the sun which could break through the fog and welcome the daylight.
Yan Huan fixed her gaze at the sunrise in the east. It was nice that it was not raining. If it was raining, it could definitely be a big trouble for the rescue team. She knew it would rain soon, but she hoped that it would rain later so that it enabled them to save more people.
Life cannot be determined through one’s status. Everyone can only live once in this lifetime. If it is gone, then it’s gone forever. There will never be a turning back.
Lu Jin raised to his feet, and at this moment, the sunlight landed on his face as though he was an ironman equipped with the iron-like courage of a soldier. It all emerged on his face, standing firm and never compromise.
“Everyone listens to me.” He took a step backward; his voice was hoarse, but it was very shocking, having an inexplicable feeling of making people trust in him and an indescribable willingness to be his follower.
As now they did not have a backbone within them, they urgently required someone to tell them what to do, how to do, what they needed to do and what they could do.
“The males will tag along with me to save people while the females will stay here to take care of the casualties and children. Everyone please be patient. Now that it has not rained, we need to take this opportunity to save as many people as we can. Believe me, I am a soldier so I know that our country, our citizens and our army will never give up on us. They must be finding solutions to come for our rescue. Maybe there is a roadblock, road damage, or other related problems. But I always believe that they will find ways to bring us out of here, thus for now…” Lu Jin’s throat was seriously dry; his voice was hoarse, but he did not surrender like how he was at this instant, a person who was still standing upright.
“Look, the ruins that he is pointing at around us have our family and our siblings buried inside. What we all can do now is not just waiting here, but to save others. We need to save them, and we must also believe that we are able to save them.”
Everyone clenched their fist with their eyes welled up in tears. Yes, they needed to rescue others, and they must save them. They could not give up and never going to give up at all.
All the men stood up, even those who were injured also participated. Lu Jin had tears gathered in his eyes. Under such a situation, it was unbelievable that no one was touched. Before the sight of a catastrophe, everyone respected life.
Yan Huan tagged along as well.
“Huan Huan, you go over there.” Lu Jin pointed to the place where the females were sitting down.
“Dad, I am also a soldier.” Yan Huan straightened her body. As a standard military asset, it was true that she was a soldier; she used to be a soldier. Even if she was a female, she was still a soldier. She wanted to become an army on the battlefield, on the front line, but not waiting here, doing nothing in particular.
Woman is not weak. Things that a man can accomplish, a woman can also do them well. One more person meant an extra help. Who knows maybe she could help to save more people, even if it was just one, but it was still a precious life after all.
She could not stop the catastrophe, but at least she could help to save more people. Some of the things she could not change them such as the people who died in the natural disaster. Although she was reborn herself, she could not be a savior.
Lu Jin patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t force it.”
“I know.” Yan Huan showed a smile; her face was covered in ashes and a little bit of scratches. She was an actress, a film celebrity. She should be looking gorgeous as usual, dressed in elegant outfit and wearing her high-end jewelry, and stepping on the red carpet like a noble vase, open for the public to appreciate and admire her, instead of her condition now. Her clothes were torn into pieces with her body covered with injuries. Her hair was messy and her face was dirty. But the person she was now could not be considered as unattractive for the beauty she revealed previously caught one’s attention while the one now caused others to be deeply moved by her actions.
Lu Jin led a group of men to look around for people who were still alive. They moved stones and carries those heavy floor slabs to pull out one after another person from the bottom.
When a person who was saved showed the sign of being alive and was still breathing, everyone felt like shedding their tears. However, they chose to keep their tears down their throats because they needed to rescue the next person, saving the life of another individual.
Yan Huan tagged along behind a group of men. When others lifted the stones, she did the same; when others carried the floor slabs, she followed, and when others dug the soil, she also used her hands to imitate their actions. At this juncture, she was not a film celebrity, and no one would actually realize she was Yan Huan. Everyone was racing against time to save more people because every second counted when it came to saving a life.
The preciousness of one’s life relied on a few seconds of time.
