Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Nine days had passed, but the report on Cangluan Mountain did not bring any new progress. It also made the netizens guess the outcome.
“The hero can’t come back…”
When the first such comment appeared, it immediately set off a wave that had been suppressed for a long time. When the incident at Cang Luan Mountain was mentioned, almost everyone felt a little sad. They had already determined that there was a hero buried under the ruins of the Cangluan Mountain, but nine days had passed, and this hero had still not been found.
“Looks like there’s no hope. It’s been so many days. Even if they find him, I’m afraid…
“We still have to hold on to some hope. I’d rather believe that the hero has escaped danger!”
“No matter what, the officials should at least express their stance. At least tell us who this hero is. In this era, we really need a hero to awaken this cold society. Heroes should not be nameless. Heroes should be remembered forever!”
This post quickly spread crazily online. More and more netizens joined in, hoping that the officials could come out and give a reasonable explanation as soon as possible.
Who was this hero? What was his name? Unlike now, when everyone could only give this hero a nameless identity. However, after such comments, there was still no official answer.
The officials’ attention was still on Cang Luan Mountain. After a few days, Feng Shaoyu and the others had completely lost weight, and their expressions were very ugly. Xu Kui and the others remained at the frontline and participated in the rescue operation at all costs. With every day, everyone felt more and more despair. This meant that the chances of Su Yun surviving were lower.
They wished they could clean up all these ruins now, but reality was right in front of them. In a situation where large equipment could not be transferred to the mountain, they could only excavate by manpower.
Not only would the time spent on human excavation be greatly extended, but it would also cause even greater problems because of this high-intensity search and rescue. Many search and rescue team members fainted on the ruins because of their lack of stamina.
There were a few emergency ambulances parked at the foot of Cangluan Mountain 24 hours a day. More and more team members were carried down on stretchers, but after a short rest, they would force themselves to return to work.
Su Guowei’s hands had been so worn out in the past few days of search and rescue that there was no intact skin. Even though it was wrapped in gauze, because Su Guowei refused to rest, the gauze wrapped in his hand had long been dyed red with blood.
Xu Jiajia was no longer that exquisite girl. Her clothes were covered in dust, and she did not care at all.
Professor Sun fainted on the workbench. In the last moment before he fainted, he was still staring at the screen, hoping to find traces of Su Yun. After Professor Sun was rushed to the hospital, the medical staff even injected glucose into Professor Cai and the others in the temporary command room.
These medical staff had almost given up on persuading him. Because no matter how they were persuaded, no one was willing to leave their current job. They were all focused on finding Su Yun. Even though nine days had passed and their chances were slim, no one was willing to give up first.
Almost all the search and rescue teams from all over the country had already gathered on Cangluan Mountain. In order to ensure that the search and rescue operation would not stop for 24 hours, all the search and rescue teams were divided into two groups.
One group carried out a high-intensity search and rescue for up to 12 hours during the day, while the other took over at night. In the villages around Cangluan Mountain, some citizens spontaneously joined the search and rescue team. They took the simple tools from the housefarmer and walked up Cangluan Mountain.
The huge searchlight illuminated Cangluan Mountain in the night as if it was daytime. At night, when Cangluan Mountain was at its coldest, the temperature could reach minus 10 degrees Celsius.
However, before the corresponding supplies arrived, all the searchers could only wear single clothes and spend night after night in the wind and rain.
The incident at Cangluan Mountain was a sensation and became a major disaster known to everyone in China. The crowd was also extremely concerned about who the hero buried at the foot of Cangluan Mountain was.
Many places began to spontaneously donate some supplies. These supplies were immediately transported to Cangluan Mountain by helicopter. This was a relay race for the masses. They could not personally come here to contribute, so they could only place their hopes on these supplies. They hoped that they could help the rescue team find that nameless hero as soon as possible.
Even Zhao Tianbao and the others outside the borders had been paying attention to the progress of the Cangluan Mountain incident. Due to their status, they could not appear on such an official level.
However, everyone’s hearts were tied to Su Yun, silently hoping that he would be safe and sound, even though they knew that this hope was getting slimmer. Almost every day, there would be a report on the Cangluan Mountain incident on television, but the content was no different from before.
There is no official data and no disaster reports. This made many people very worried, but they had no way of understanding. As the days passed, the incident at Cangluan Mountain did not slowly calm down because of the passage of time.
Sadness slowly enveloped everyone’s hearts.. Now, although no one could bear to say it, how could they not know? His chances of survival were slim, and it was difficult for the hero to return…
