The ground continued to shake, and the space here seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Just then, her phone rang.
The sound of Song Chen coughing came through, his voice filled with panic and anger. “Jingjing, it’s bad! That damn Karl set up a trap here. If it weren’t for the people he sent to save Dr. Xu’s parents, this place would have exploded! The entire cave structure is unstable now, and this cave is about to collapse. You go up immediately, and I’ll take Dr. Xu’s parents out from another exit!”
“Go up immediately?” Shen Ruojing glanced at the large iron door that trapped her and Chu Cichen here, squinting her eyes as she asked, “Where is the other exit?”
“What’s wrong?” Song Chen asked, then realized something, “The door on your side closed? Oh no, that’s a door made of reinforced steel. Even a bomb can’t blast it open… You and Chu Cichen wear your gas masks and come to me right away. I’ve found Dr. Xu’s parents. We’ll find a way out together from… this place.” The signal became intermittent.
Shen Ruojing looked at Chu Cichen. In the dim environment, neither of them felt scared. Instead, they held hands and leaned close. Shen Ruojing asked, “What should we do?”
Chu Cichen had already explored the surroundings by touch and said, “Due to the explosion, toxic gas is slowly seeping in here. We have no choice but to rely on his method.”
Shen Ruojing clenched her jaw. “You know him best. The old you from six years ago. Are you sure he’s reliable?”
Chu Cichen lowered his gaze. “He won’t joke around with Dr. Xu’s parents. He knows that if they die, you won’t forgive him. And he won’t harm you.”
After saying these words, Chu Cichen had already reached the oxygen cylinders and gas masks. He handed one of them to Shen Ruojing and put the other one on himself. “Now, there’s only one exit. We must get out.”
It was possible that Karl didn’t trust Song Chen and set up a mechanism. Now they couldn’t leave through the main door, and there were frequent falling rocks here. If they didn’t take a gamble, both Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen would likely be stuck here!
They had no other choice and walked quickly inside.
The gas masks were indeed effective, and Shen Ruojing felt her breathing was smooth. However, this long passage would take at least ten minutes to run through. Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen held hands, using the flashlight function on their phones, and walked briskly forward.
Shen Ruojing calculated the time. They had been walking for about seven or eight minutes when she suddenly stopped.
Chu Cichen immediately asked, “What’s wrong?”
Shen Ruojing turned the flashlight to her back and said, “It seems the oxygen is running low. Let me check…”
“I’ll check. It’s inconvenient for you to carry it.” Chu Cichen said.
“Alright.”
Shen Ruojing turned her back to him and felt Chu Cichen also turning on his flashlight. He began inspecting the oxygen cylinder behind her. After thirty seconds, he suddenly spoke, “Jingjing, the connection of the oxygen cylinder seems loose. I need to secure it for you. Hold your breath for a moment. 1’11 count to thirty, then release.”
“Okay.”
“Let’s begin.”
Shen Ruojing immediately held her breath.
Then she felt Chu Cichen fiddling behind her. After a while, she heard him counting, “Twenty-nine, thirty! Breathe!”
Only then did Shen Ruojing resume normal breathing, and the oxygen smoothly flowed through without any issues.
She gave Chu Cichen a thumbs-up and said, “Impressive. 1 didn’t expect you to know how to do this too.”
“It’s nothing,” replied Chu Cichen in a low voice.
Shen Ruojing was about to say something when someone tapped her shoulder. “Let’s go, don’t waste time here.”
So the two of them continued to move forward quickly.
The tunnel was long, and they walked for another ten minutes. Finally, there was a light ahead, about ten meters away from them. They saw Song Chen supporting two elderly people. As soon as he saw them, he said, “Follow me!”
He turned around and led the two people forward.
Shen Ruojing breathed a sigh of relief.
She had seen Dr. Xu’s parents before and recognized them even though they were wearing gas masks.
Shen Ruojing quickened her pace and followed behind Song Chen.
After a dozen seconds, the sound of an explosion came from behind again!
Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen simultaneously turned around and saw that the place they had just been was engulfed in flames. A scorching fireball was rushing toward them!
“Run!” Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen exclaimed at the same time.
Song Chen had already led the two elderly people to another exit and helped them crawl out of the cave entrance.
Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen were still about five meters away, but the heatwave from the explosion was already closing in…
The two of them exchanged a glance and made the same decision.
They took off their gas masks, dropped the heavy oxygen tanks behind them, and then sprinted forward effortlessly, leaping forward!
“Boom!”
A violent explosion erupted inside the cave.
Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen lay outside the cave…
While in front of them, Song Chen and Dr. Xu’s parents had just removed their gas masks and were looking back in fear…
They were safe.
Dr. Xu’s parents had finally been rescued….
