Luckily, Evie held Sylvia timely, "Boss, watch out!"
Sylvia nodded and went to the boy with Evie, "Good boy, we are rescue workers. Give us your mother,
okay?"
When the little boy saw Sylvia, he shed more tears, "Save my mother, please!"
Sylvia crouched down and immediately reached out her hand under the woman's nostril. Noticing that
the woman was breathing faintly, she immediately took the medical kit from Jaden's hand. To prevent
the medicines inside the medical kit from getting wet by the rain, Jaden had been holding the medical
kit in his arms.
The medical kit was still warm.
Sylvia quickly took the infrared thermometer from inside, "She has a fever as high as 39 degrees
centigrade! Someone sends her and the boy down the hill!"
She said as she quickly fed a fever-reducing pill to the young woman, "Hurry up and send them down!
No delay!"
She looked at the little boy, "Good boy, you're awesome! Follow the uncle. You know?"
The little boy nodded hurriedly.
It was only when he saw Sylvia and the others that his nerves finally relaxed.
One of the men immediately came over and carried the young woman on his back, turned around and
went down the hill, and the young boy immediately followed.
Sylvia led the way and continued walking up the mountain for about another half hour or so when a
familiar man's voice suddenly came to her ears.
"Everyone, we must save all the people trapped in the mountain before the upstream water floods
down. Otherwise, we will be dead if the flood breaks out!"
It was Franklin speaking!
Sylvia glanced behind her, "Let's go faster and rendezvous with Franklin. There are people buried
under the rocks up there!"
As the mountain road was really hard to walk on. They tried their best to walk faster, but it was still very
difficult.
After walking for a while, Sylvia looked up again and saw the tall, slender back of a man halfway up a
hill, with Jasper and dozens of other men behind him.
Sylvia looked at the familiar figure and couldn't help but feel her nose twitch.
It was an incredible feeling.
She had no idea that one day she and Franklin would team up in this way.
The man stood with his back to her, and his voice was strong, "We must dig out all these rocks to save
the people buried underneath. Jasper, once they were dug up, probably the flood would pour down and
then wash away this mountain."
"If this mountain got washed away, everyone inside the hillside camp would be in danger." Jasper went
on and said, "Master Franklin, what do we do now? Should we save others? Or ..."
"If they were dead at the bottom of this mountain rock, we do not have to save them. But if they are all
alive, we can't leave them here and get them buried alive, can we?"
Before Franklin had a chance to speak, he heard a woman's cold voice suddenly come from behind
him, ringing in the pouring rain.
"Miss Andrews?" Jasper looked in shock at the woman who was walking towards them.
Franklin couldn't help but turn around and see Sylvia walking quickly towards them with her raincoat
on, "Honey? Why are you here too?"
Weren't they divided into two groups? How did they end up being here?
"We must save them!" Sylvia looked at all the people here. "All of us are the best, and I believe that
none of us will retreat because of the difficulty. Get the people out before the flood broke out. Then find
a way to move rocks to block the gap!"
"As you say, we must race against time," Franklin said, stepping forward and lifting the shovel to dig out
the rocks, "There are many of us now, so let's do it together hurriedly."
Then all these people began to wield a shovel and dig these rocks out. Those who had no shovel
carried the stones, barehanded.
There were several people buried under these rocks which must be dug out!
Sylvia did not hesitate and reached out her hands to carry the stone, and when her bleeding hands
were stretched out, Franklin only felt them a real eyesore!
The man lifted his palm and grabbed Sylvia's hands, "Are you stupid? Your hands get hurt!"
"It's okay. I don't hurt at all." Sylvia shook her head, and just then, suddenly, a hand was revealed under
these rocks!
That hand was still moving!
Jasper and Evie worked even harder until they pulled the first one out of there.
There was thin air inside, and several people's faces were blue.
Especially since they hadn't eaten for days and nights and were very weak.
After everyone rescued the injured villagers from under the rocks, suddenly, the sound of torrential
water came.
Immediately afterwards, a person's cry for help was heard, "Help ... Save me ..."
Every now and then his voice was drowned out by the current.
Sylvia raised her eyes in surprise and looked down towards the ground, only to hear the sound coming
from behind the mountain wall.
There was a crack in the wall of the mountain, and from time to time the water sound rang out from
behind the crack.
Water was constantly gushing out from the crack of the mountain wall which probably about 30
centimeters wide, "What's going on? There seems to be someone behind the mountain!"
Sylvia sounded anxious.
Although it felt close at this point, but it took a long while to walk around this mountain towards the
other side .
Sylvia had seen the map. The flood would break out on the other side of the mountain. They had been
prepared to fill the crack of 30 centimeters. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
If it was not filled, the flood would break through this crack and then the flood would involve more
victims, drowned all the villages below the mountain and the tents they had set up on the slopes.
But ... there were people behind the mountain.
And if they waited until after they went around, those victims would be washed away or directly out of
breath.
They must seize the time.
Franklin gave a direct order, "Split the mountain to save the people!"
"Boss, if the mountain splits, what about those people down the mountain and in the tents?" Jasper
wiped the rain from his face and said anxiously, "Do we have to bet so many lives to save one person?"
"Look at me!" Evie suddenly waved a shovel and rushed over, "Let me split open a gap of about sixty
centimeters, and after that, we'll hurry to fill this gap."
She struck the stone with the shovel. Then an ear-splitting sound rang out.
The shovel was way more fragile compared to the mountain wall, and with a bang, it broke!
Jasper couldn't help but turn down the corners of his mouth. This girl was weirdly powerful!
This girl looked sweet, but her force was a little too much, right?
Evie, the girl with so much force, looked at the shovel handle in her hand, feeling regretful, "Holy shit?
What's wrong with it? It's broken!"
Sylvia glanced at her, "No more joking! We take the rock crusher here. Hurry up to get the gap a bit
bigger. Don't waste our time."
Several men then rushed over carrying the rock crusher, and the steel drill bit pointed at the hard rock
began to buzz.
Franklin was observing the way the water flowed, while directing several men to rescue the villagers
and take them to a safe place.
"They are very weak now. Hurry up and take them back for treatment."
"Yes!"
More and more water gushed out of the widening gap that was split open.
