Zhu Jing tried her best to cover her ears, but the explosion still easily pierced her eardrums!
The next moment, Zhao Dong rushed over.
She used her body to block the flying rocks, and at the same time covered her ears with both hands!
Zhu Jing subconsciously shrank into Zhao Dong's arms, feeling like a small boat in a storm, being beaten crazily by ruthless waves!
Fortunately, Zhao Dong's arms gave her an unprecedented sense of security!
I don’t know how long it took before the aftermath of the explosion gradually dissipated and the world returned to peace!
Zhu Jing struggled to open her eyes, but was choked and coughed.
Everything in front of my eyes and around my mouth was filled with dust, so choking that I could hardly breathe.
My head felt dizzy, and there was a buzzing sound echoing in my ears!
Zhao Dong turned on the miner's lamp, and a beam of light fell into the distance visible to the naked eye!
Zhu Jing grabbed Zhao Dong's collar and asked, "How is it? Have we succeeded?"
Zhao Dong pursed his lips and said nothing. The tunnel leading to the mine had been completely sealed!
At the same time, a pothole the size of a person appeared on the top of the alley!
The potholes are not small, and gravel falls from time to time!
Zhao Dong couldn't move forward for the time being, and he couldn't be sure whether he was successful or not. He was so nervous that his body also tensed up!
Zhu Jing's emotions also became tense, and she subconsciously moved closer and closer, almost pressing into Zhao Dong's arms!
Especially listening to his strong heartbeat makes my heart pound like a deer!
…
Outside the mine.
The rescue team has done preliminary cleaning and preparation work, but because the collapse of the mine entrance is quite serious, they can only carry out secondary directional blasting according to the original plan!
Relevant locations have been reinforced and processed to minimize risks!
Outside the mine, all preparation personnel are in place!
After all, every minute of delay puts the people trapped underground in more danger!
Therefore, the rescue team is also racing against time, fighting for time with the God of Death!
Not only that, there were also many reporters and media who arrived later to follow and report the whole process.
However, because the identities of Zhu Jing and Zhao Dong are very sensitive, Fang Xiang gave an explanation and reduced the content of the report to a minimum!
At the same time, no relevant information is allowed to be released until the personnel are rescued!
Sophie was also a little nervous.
Fang Xiang stepped forward and comforted him: "Don't worry, I believe in Xiaodong's ability. He will be fine!"
Sophie pursed her lips and said nothing. If Zhao Dong was the only one in the mine, she really wouldn't be so worried.
The key is that Zhu Jing is involved, making the whole thing full of variables!
While he was talking, there was a sudden vibration on the ground!
The scene was in panic!
Sophie's face turned pale briefly, and her body swayed, "What's wrong?"
Fang Xiang hurriedly implemented it, "What's going on? Where did the explosion come from?"
Soon, a professional reported, "It's from the mine!"
This time, not only Sophie, but also Fang Xiang's face became serious, "What's the specific reason?"
The man hesitated and said, "The explosion location is in the middle of the mine. Based on the intensity and waveform of the explosion, it is very likely..."
Sophie asked, "What could it be?"
The man explained, "It may have been the impact caused by detonators or explosives!"
After Fang Xiang heard this, he almost roared, "That's ridiculous, where did you get the explosives from?"
"Go and confirm as soon as possible the specific location of the detonation point and the impact of this explosion on the rescue!"
"Also, find out how these explosives were detonated!"
"Search the mountain at the same time, with the mine as the center, conduct a carpet search within a five-kilometer range, and immediately implement telecommunications shielding!"
"Except for the rescue headquarters, no signal access is allowed!"
As Fang Xiang issued orders one after another, someone quickly implemented them!
The atmosphere inside the rescue headquarters was extremely oppressive!
Especially Fang Xiang, whose face was so gloomy that no one dared to come forward to disturb him!
Under his nose, a man-made secondary explosion occurred. This was simply a provocation!
In the tense atmosphere, someone suddenly said, "Brother Fang?"
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Sophie, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Logically speaking, she is a family member of the trapped people and should not and is not suitable to appear in the rescue headquarters tent.
But at this moment no one expressed any objection.
First of all, it was obvious that she and Fang Xiang knew each other and had a good personal relationship. No one wanted to get into trouble at this time.
Secondly, everyone saw this woman's performance throughout the night. She was calm and aura, leaving a deep impression on everyone, and she deserves this respect.
Fang Xiang's face softened a little, and he stepped forward apologetically, "Xiao Fei, I'm sorry, I didn't protect Dongzi..."
Sophie waved her hand, "Brother Fang, let's not talk about this for now. Did Zhao Dong send you a map of the mine before?"
Fang wanted to admit, "That's right."
Sophie raised her head and asked with piercing eyes, "Can you let me take a look?"
Fang Xiang hesitated briefly, turned around, and led Sophie to the map on the wall.
The content is very detailed, including the possible trapped location of the two people, the rescue plan, and the collapse situation in the tunnel, etc.
At the same time, a heated discussion began in the tent.
The rescue team has confirmed the location of the second explosion just now.
The main direction of the current discussion is how to implement the rescue plan formulated at the beginning!
There are two points of controversy.
First, after the explosion just now, a large area of the mine collapsed, and the living space has been compressed to the limit!
Once the third blast is carried out, it is likely to cause further landslides!
The risk is too great, no one dares to nod this way!
The second is to sort out and open the tunnels in the safest way through machine and manual excavation.
This plan was put in place before, and there was no problem.
The difficulty right now is that the second explosion just happened. Do they still have time to carry out the second plan?
Inside the tent, the two sides had different views and almost had a quarrel!
There was a chaotic atmosphere, and no one could argue for a while. Fang Xiang frowned when he heard this!
Although he is currently the commander-in-chief of this rescue headquarters, he does not dare to make this decision easily!
At the critical moment, a female voice suddenly spoke, "Everyone, can I express my opinion?"
Inside the tent, there was an instant silence!
Everyone turned around following the voice, and seeing that it was Sophie who was speaking, everyone turned their attention to Fang Xiang.
Fang Xiang nodded, "Xiao Fei, whatever you want to say, just say it!"
Sophie walked to the conference table and said, "As a family member of the trapped people, it stands to reason that I should not express an opinion at this time."
"But the person under the mine is my husband. I feel that I have the qualifications and the obligation to stand up and say something!"
There was a brief commotion in the tent.
Fang Xiang signaled everyone to be quiet and gave Sophie an encouraging look!
Sophie nodded, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "I support the first plan, directional blasting!"
