Chapter 1351: Shocking
Many people were shocked when Dong Xuebing volunteered.
Jiang Fangfang, Pu An, Yao Cui, and the rest immediately stopped him. It was too dangerous for Dong Xuebing to go in.
Dong Xuebing replied. I am responsible for this.
Why are you responsible? Jian Xiangrong said. You saved enough lives this afternoon.
Jiang Fangfang was surprisingly firm. You are not going anywhere today. Stay here and wait.
Li Xiaona said. You almost fell today. You cannot go. Its too dangerous.
Dong Xuebing ignored them and looked at the shocked fireman. How heavy is the concrete slab pressing on Sister Zhen?
The fireman replied. We are unsure about the exact weight, but it should be at least one ton. It might might be much more than that. The seven firemen could lift a few hundred kilograms. But they could not lift that concrete slab even by an inch. It should be more than a ton. Of course, the concrete slab might be stuck by other debris.
Over a ton
Everybody inhaled deeply.
Dong Xuebing frowned and said. Let me try.
Xiao Dong!
Mayor Dong!
Mayor Dong, you
Dong Xuebing was very guilty. If he knew somebody might die, he would not attend the Party Committee meeting. He would rush to here to rescue the residents. He trusted the Future newspaper, which resulted in this situation. He takes things seriously and feels responsible for this situation. He was not going to listen to others. He looked at Yao Cui and Pu An, who were holding him back, and at Jiang Fangfang. Dont worry. I know what I am doing. I will be fine even if the building collapses. I was buried under a collapsed hospital for many days in Fen Zhou City during the earthquake, and I am still alive and kicking now.
But
Dont say anymore. Theres no time. Dong Xuebing flicked his arm, and the hands holding him were pushed away. He turned to the fireman. Lets go.
The fireman replied. You alone are not enough.
Dong Xuebing replied calmly. I am stronger than most people.
The fireman was speechless. This is not about how strong you are. One more person will not make a big difference.
Yao Cui was anxious. Mayor Jiang.
Jiang Fangfang stared at Dong Xuebings back and said nothing.
The most surprised were the Meng Faction staff, especially Chu Peng. They did not expect Dong Xuebing to volunteer to risk his life to save Chu Pengs wife.
Mayor Dong Chu Peng was emotional. You
Dong Xuebing consoled him. Leave it to me. I will try my best.
Chu Peng followed along. Lets go.
No. The person inside is your wife. Your emotions might affect the rescue operation. This is not the time to be rash. You must remain calm. Dong Xuebing disagreed.
Chu Peng replied. But we dont have enough people.
Dong Xuebing said. Its enough. Leave it to me.
The Meng Faction members grabbed Chu Peng. They dont want him to risk his life.
Dong Xuebing looked at Jiang Fangfang and Yao Cui. He gave them an assuring smile and said to the fireman. Lower the ladders platform.
The platform was lowered.
Dong Xuebing and the fireman stepped on the platform.
The platform rose steadily. First floor second floor third floor they reached.
The fireman team leader was full of respect for Mayor Dongs courage. But he did not expect to move the concrete slab with the few of them. You must be careful.
I know.
Team leader! We dont have enough time.
The victims pulse is getting weaker. We are losing her.
The fireman team leader shouted. Lets try again!
Dong Xuebing and he got off the platform and climbed into the window.
Suddenly, the floor beneath the fireman team leader gave way. Crash! A large part of the floor collapsed, and more cracks formed on the ceiling.
Too many people.
The building could not hold the weight.
Dong Xuebing reacted fast. He grabbed the team leader and stopped him from falling. Three of the firemen inside fell.
Crash
Boom!
Debris fell from upstairs.
Dong Xuebing shouted. It is going to collapse! Get out of there! He threw the team leader back on the ladder platform.
The firemen inside quickly rush to the window and get onto the platform.
One fireman
Three firemen
Five firemen
Everybody got onto the platform.
The ladder platform could only hold so much weight and was swaying with seven people.
The third floor and second floor were almost crushed. Crash! The outer walls collapsed.
It is collapsing!
Oh no!
Run!
What are you doing, Mayor Dong?
Hurry and run! What are you waiting for?
People started screaming.
The fireman controlling the ladder moved it away slightly to avoid the debris. But Dong Xuebing did not move. He stood by the window and looked inside.
The firemen team leader extended his hand and shouted. Hurry and get on, Mayor Dong! Get on! Its too late to save her!
The other firemen also shouted at Dong Xuebing.
But Dong Xuebing did not move.
This was a bedroom.
Dong Xuebing could see a pair of womans feet under that concrete slab.
The other side of the slab was pressing on rocks and a broken bedframe. These things prevented Zeng Jinhua from getting crushed to death.
She should be alive.
Debris continued to fall. These debris was from the concrete walls, weighing over 50 kg.
Anyone would be dead if the falling debris hit them.
But Dong Xuebing was not concerned about the falling debris. He dodged a few pieces without looking. He did not get onto the ladder platform. Instead, he rushed towards the trapped Zeng Jinhua.
The third-floor outer walls were gone.
The higher floors crushed the second floor.
Although Dong Xuebing was inside the building, everybody outside the family quarters could see him. They could also see that piece of concrete slab pressing on Zeng Jinhua.
The building was swaying, and it looked like it would collapse completely.
The floor beneath Dong Xuebings feet was shocking.
Mayor Dong!
Jinhua! Jinhua!
Hurry and get out of there, Mayor Dong!
Theres still space on the platform! Hurry before its too late!
The firemen on the platform and the leaders looking from a distance were shocked. They did not expect Dong Xuebing to do this.
Dong Xuebing did not run.
He did not run even when the building was collapsing!
He is going to throw his life away to save someone else.
Everybody was shocked.
