Chapter 1353: Smile!
One second
Two seconds
Three seconds
It was dead quiet.
All they could hear was debris falling.
He moved it!
Mayor Dong moved it!
That concrete slab was more than a ton!
How can a human being lift it?
Dong Xuebing lifted it by himself, and he is a skinny civil servant!
No one could believe their eyes. They were stunned.
The seven firemen on the ladder platform were stunned, too. They shouted at Mayor Dong to give up, and he lifted it. The people watching might not know how heavy the concrete slab was, but the firemen knew. They tried to lift it, but they could not even move it. They could not believe the skinny County leader, Mayor Dong, was stronger than all of them! Is he human? How can he be so strong?
Are you a weight lifter?
Even the weightlifting national teams champion is not as strong as you!
The most they could lift was around 400 to 500 kg. You are lifting over a thousand kilograms!
They were stunned.
But after recovering from their shock, everybody started cheering.
He lifted it!
Oh my god!
This is incredible!
Mayor Dong is impressive!
She can still be saved!
Yes! Sister Zeng can be saved!
Everybody saw hope at that moment. Chu Peng and Zeng Jinhuas close friends were excited.
But the concrete slab was too thick!
Dong Xuebing could lift it slightly but found it difficult to lift it further.
Dong Xuebing stood up slowly from a squatting position. His hands on the concrete slab moved up slowly.
One centimeter
Five centimeters
Ten centimeters
Dong Xuebing lifted it higher and higher.
His clothes were soaked in his sweat. He was using all his strength to lift it.
Go for it!
A bit more!
Hurry! You can flip it over!
Everybody cheered for Dong Xuebing.
A few civilians started cursing as they saw Dong Xuebing lifting the concrete slab slowly. This is f**king incredible! How is he human?
One ton
How heavy is a ton?
A human being was lifting it with his bare hands!
Although it was slow, the concrete slab was lifted higher. Everybodys heart almost stopped beating.
Twenty centimeters
Forty centimeters
Sixty centimeters
The firemen watched and almost forgot to breathe. The floor beneath Dong Xuebings feet started to crack. That was how heavy the concrete slab was.
The crowd outside went wild.
More nearby residents gathered outside.
They watched Dong Xuebing performing a miracle and cheered him on.
Hurry!
A bit more!
You can do it!
Go for it, Mayor Dong!
Everybody cheered, but they forgot something important.
The building was collapsing. The eastern sides fifth and sixth floors were gone. Cracks extended from the fourth floor to the third floor.
Ah!
Shit!
The fourth floor is not going to last!
Where are the binoculars?
Here! Here!
Someone noticed the danger.
But it was too late when they discovered it.
A staff with binoculars saw an old TV falling from the fourth floor. It was an old 29-inch TV, and it weighs almost ten kilograms. The concrete slab on Zeng Jinhua was part of the ceiling, and the TV fell from that hole. It was going to land on Dong Xuebings head!
That man shouted. Watch out, Mayor Dong!
The lights were shining at Dong Xuebing, and everybody saw it.
Oh no!
Mayor Dong!
Watch out!
Dong Xuebing noticed it. Time was several times slower in his dimension. He saw the TV floating down slowly, but he could not move. Zeng Jinhua would be crushed to death if he let go. He could not move his body as he would not have the strength to hold on to the concrete slab. No matter what he did, he could not dodge it. He looked at the falling TV and looked down. He was going to ignore it.
Hurry and move away from there!
Mayor Dong! Dodge it!
The TV crashed onto Dong Xuebings head as everybody shouted at him to dodge.
Although Dong Xuebing tried to dodge by moving his head slightly to his side, he was still hit by the falling TV.
Crash! The TV landed on Dong Xuebing and fell onto the floor. His head was hit, and blood covered half of his face.
He would be lying if he said it was not painful.
Dong Xuebings face twitched from the pain, but he still held on to the concrete slab.
He cannot let go.
Zeng Jinhua would be killed if he let go.
Dong Xuebing suffered the blow and got more anxious. He growled and continued to lift the concrete slab.
Up
Up
A bit more
The concrete slab was almost a meter from the floor.
But more debris fell as the fourth-floor ground was slanted.
Crash! An old-fashioned wooden armchair fell onto the concrete slab, almost making Dong Xuebing let go of it.
Swoosh!
It was a TV cabinet.
It did not land on the concrete slab. It was going to land on Dong Xuebings shoulder.
The people watching shouted again. Be careful! Watch out!
The firemen were anxious. Let go of it and run! Hurry!
Dong Xuebing did not move. He looked up and stared at the TV cabinet as it landed on his shoulder. It broke into pieces upon hitting him.
Swoosh!
Dong Xuebings shoulder was covered in blood.
His head was still bleeding.
Drip drip drip
Blood seeped into his eyes and flowed down his neck.
But Dong Xuebing did not even flinch. He continued to hold on to the concrete slab. He exhaled lightly and started lifting it again.
Hurry and help Mayor Dong!
Pull Sister Zeng out! The concrete slab is lifted!
Everybody shouted, but the fireman operating the ladder could not move the ladder closer. Debris was falling.
They could not help
They could only depend on Mayor Dong now.
They could only watch even if they wanted to help.
Swoosh!
Another concrete debris, weighing over ten kilograms, fell.
It landed on Dong Xuebings left hand, which held onto the concrete slab.
Most peoples fingers would be crushed if they were hit.
But Dong Xuebing did not move. He looked at his bloodied fingers and wrist and continued to lift the concrete slab.
The upper floor was crumbling faster.
A broken couch fell from the fourth floor and landed on the back of Dong Xuebings head. He tried to lower his head to dodge it but failed. He could only take on the impact, flicking his head backward to push the couch away.
Dong Xuebings upper body was covered in blood now.
He had suffered countless injuries.
But no matter how badly injured, he did not let go.
Everybody knew why Dong Xuebing did not dodge the falling debris. He could not move. Theres a person under the concrete slab. He could dodge the falling debris easily if he let go. But Zeng Jinhua would be crushed. Mayor Dong was using his body to save her!
Many people cried as they watched the bloody Dong Xuebing trying his best to save Zeng Jinhua.
Yao Cui covered her mouth, and her tears flowed down her cheeks. Xuebing!
It was awful
This scene was too awful to watch.
Concrete pieces and broken furniture continued to fall on Dong Xuebing. Still, he continued to hold on to the concrete slab calmly. Everybody felt something touched them in their hearts.
A few civilians could not bear to watch and turned away.
Chu Peng could not stand it. He grabbed a loudhailer from a staff and shouted. You have done enough, Mayor Dong! No one will blame you if you let go! Hurry up and get out of there! Dong Xuebing had gone so far for his political rivals family member, and Chu Peng was touched.
Dong Xuebing had no strength to talk. He continued to hold onto the concrete slab without moving.
Let go? Stop joking!
I am Dong Xuebing!
Theres no one I cannot save!
Thud! Dong Xuebings back was hit by a steel rod, and the impact stirred up his fighting spirit! He smiled.
F**k!
I do not believe I cant do it!
Dong Xuebings strength increased significantly instantly, lifting the concrete slab by another 50 cm!
He continued to ignore the debris falling on him and did not dodge.
Crash!
Come on!
Do you think I am afraid of getting hit?
Many people were watching with binoculars and were shocked by what they saw. Mayor Dong, who was covered in blood, was smiling!
He was hanging on with a smile!
This scene shocked everybody.
No one understood why Mayor Dong could hold on for so long.
No one understood why he could still smile in this situation.
