Chapter 216 A Joint Effort to Rescue: Pills Still Need to Be Used
The Wen family members quickly dispersed and rushed into the square, channeling their spiritual energy into their feet and using all the steps of their Shedding Shell Technique.
They dodged and weaved, doing their best to avoid falling rocks, and helped those who could escape.
People in the square who were trying to save themselves or calling for help only saw a few figures rushing over.
Before some people could even react, they were grabbed by the arm and taken outside the square.
Some people were dodging the rolling stones, but when they turned around, they quickly moved away from the stones and ended up standing outside the square in a moment of surprise.
Some people clearly felt they had been hit by stones, but in the blink of an eye, they were pulled out of the pile of rocks and then rescued outside the square.
Saving others and saving oneself is a race against death, a race against time to extend life.
Wenwen felt as if she was flying back and forth between the square and the safe zone. The wind was blowing against her face, and her eyes had to be half-closed. Her legs were spinning as if they were on wheels of fire, never stopping for a moment.
Not only her, but also the rest of the Wen family, and the passionate men in the square, all did their utmost to try and save her.
The number of boulders rolling down the mountain gradually decreased.
The chaotic scene gradually calmed down.
Those who were evacuating the square gathered in a group, wiping away tears, their sobs rising and falling as they looked ahead.
"Waaaah—Village Chief..."
"What about those inside the well? The entrance is blocked..."
"Village chief, please think of something..."
Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin, having once again escorted the people back to safety, exchanged a silent glance as they listened to the weeping.
They searched for their family members in the crowd.
Ye Jingchuan is over there helping the injured villagers.
Wen Qilin, Wen Chengxi, and Wen Chengfeng were still searching among the rubble for anyone who was still alive.
Wenwen was nowhere to be seen.
Although the two brothers knew her abilities and were sure she was alright, they were still anxious because they hadn't seen her.
"Little sister, where are you?"
The two brothers quickly returned to the square and ran around, shouting as they ran.
After searching for a while, the two heard Wenwen's reply just before they reached the entrance of the cave near Hejia Village: "Big brother, second brother, I'm here."
Wen Chengjian: "Sister, here..." The rest of the question was left unsaid, and he didn't dare to ask it aloud.
Wenwen calmly replied, "There are quite a few people down in the well. There are more than a dozen from the Wang and Zuo families, and dozens from the He family. They are all injured to varying degrees."
The two had no doubts about Wenwen's words. Saving the person was a given; the most important thing was to find a way to rescue them as quickly as possible.
However, they could not reveal too much of their abilities or show off their martial arts skills in front of everyone; it was a last resort due to the urgent situation.
The three siblings gathered together and whispered among themselves.
A moment later, Wen Qilin arrived with Wen Chengxi and Wen Chengfeng, followed by Wang Datie and two middle-aged men.
After discussing it, Wen Qilin explained to Wang Datie, "Brother Wang, there's no time to lose. We need to hurry up and do what we just discussed."
Wang Datie and the village chiefs of the other two villages jointly made a decision: "Brother Wen, we are truly grateful to you all. Without your strong support, the villagers of our three villages would not have been able to escape this disaster. No matter what, we are extremely grateful!"
According to Wenwen's investigation, there are a large number of people in the well in Hejia Village, and their injuries are quite serious.
Therefore, we should start from the mine entrance in Hejia Village.
Everyone worked together to loosen a few boulders at the entrance of the cave, creating a small opening just wide enough for one person to pass through.
The reason we dare not dig too much or too big is because we are worried that the rocks will loosen and cause a second collapse, which would be a loss.
Wenwen gave Wen Qilin a wink, and he immediately understood. "Wen'er, you and your older brother go down and take a look. Be careful."
Wenwen and Wencheng entered the cave and continued forward.
There was indeed a collapse inside the cave, with huge rocks scattered around.
Wenwen activated her exploration skill along the way. "Big brother, there are loose rocks ahead. Please clear them and leave a passage."
The brother and sister explored their way down the mine, clearing a path whenever they encountered an obstacle, and soon reached the underground tunnel.
The investigation continued. "Brother, we've spotted someone up ahead."
At the same time, Wenwen used telepathy to send a message to Wen Qilin at the cave entrance, "Father, have Uncle carry the medicine box and Second Brother down here, quickly."
On the ground, Wen Qilin was anxiously waiting for news when he was caught off guard by Wen Wen's voice.
Everyone knows about the sound transmission technique, but Wenwen only recently started using it to send messages to her family, so they weren't very familiar with it yet. Therefore, when Wen Qilin heard the voice, he was momentarily stunned.
However, he only had a moment or two to react before he hurriedly ordered, "Erlang, go down with your uncle."
After Ye Jingchuan finished bandaging the wounded in the square, he came over early, listened to everyone's discussion, and waited on the side.
With Ye Jingchuan and Wen Chengbin joining them, Wenwen and Wen Chengbin in the mine were under much less pressure and could focus on clearing the way.
They made their way to the bottom of the mine, where the scene before them was horrific. Dozens of people were trapped there, all seriously injured and unconscious.
Ye Jingchuan's medicine box was actually just a basket on his back, which the villagers had given him in an emergency. Inside were some medicinal herbs that the villagers usually prepared.
Fortunately, the basket on his back provided cover, making it very convenient for Ye Jingchuan to retrieve items from his storage bag.
His storage bag was well-stocked with medicinal herbs and pills, many of which were the results of their research over this period of time, including some pills given to him by Wenwen.
The pills that Wenwen refined were considered useless in the immortal realm, but they were divine pills in the mortal realm. Before giving them to Ye Jingchuan, Wenwen had instructed him to use them with caution.
Given the urgency of the situation, Ye Jingchuan looked at the severely injured person before him, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke up, "Wen'er, the situation is urgent. We should still use those pills, don't you think?"
Wenwen didn't mind, "Use it, I have plenty here."
Ye Jingchuan was speechless, and gave Wenwen a look that seemed to say, "What a big mouth you have. Your uncle knows you're rich and powerful."
"Cough—" Wenwen was choked by someone without her noticing.
However, this little incident did not diminish everyone's eagerness to save lives.
After the first injured person was rescued, it gave everyone hope and expectation, and brave and careful people joined the rescue efforts.
The rescue operation at the Hejia Coal Mine is in full swing.
Wenwen and her group moved to the mines belonging to the Wang and Zuo families, and the mine tunnels were quickly opened up.
All rescue efforts are proceeding in an orderly manner.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, all the trapped people were rescued before sunset.
At this moment, the square was filled with the sound of weeping, a mixture of joy at surviving a disaster and sorrow at facing the pain of loss.
Rescuing them is just the beginning; there's still the issue of recuperating. With the mission deadline fast approaching at the end of the month, it's truly a mixed bag of joy and sorrow.
