Exactly where did things go wrong?!
...
As the chief director of the Tianfeng Research Institute, Chang Geng was, of course, inford of this matter imdiately.
He glanced at the golden hourglass, which had stopped flowing, and smiled slightly at this mont:
"Protect your own safety, and also protect your achievents... When Xichuan allows passage, the Research Institute will bring you back first thing."
"Additionally, I will apply to Xichuan Province to restrict Qin Manman’s personal actions. Since she has graduated, I will send a letter of declaration in my personal capacity to the school to avoid causing greater misunderstandings."
"However, regarding the consequences and other damages her behavior has caused, we will submit this to a lawyer and blacklist her at the Tianfeng Research Institute."
The assistant noted down the tasks to be done, while Chang Geng smiled slightly, thinking: Little He is still too straightforward.
What’s the need to recruit such a person into the Research Institute?
The smaller the person. Her stupidity and malice are even more unpredictable, and every achievent at the Research Institute is extrely important; he will never let such a person be the one that slips through the net.
Let her remain among the public at large!
With such character, she deserves a lifeti of getting nothing she strives for, achieving nothing, even... being ridiculed by everyone.
As for the achievents from her past life that Qin Manman brings to mind...
Chang Geng scoffed.
Without the Research Institute, how will she substantiate those achievents?
Besides, the accomplishnts of others in the past—now that Tianfeng Research Institute is led by him—are those achievents really still important?
He waits to see.
...
Chu River knew nothing about Chang Geng’s arrangents.
She was still hurrying on the road.
There were three Rescue Dragonflies in total; she arrived at the old city at night and simply demonstrated the Rescue Dragonfly’s abilities, but left only one. After confirming the route, she took the remaining ones to another temporary base.
And now, she was at Xichuan’s Ninth Experintal High School, also the best high school in the entire Xichuan.
However, good grades require not only talent but also hard work and diligence.
During the earthquake, the entire high school, including the adjacent affiliated junior high, from eighth grade to twelfth, were all in class.
This school, with about 7000 faculty and students in total, is now buried in the ruins.
Chu River didn’t waste another word.
Having already recharged during the journey, as the Rescue Dragonfly connected to the rescue team’s thermal imaging screen, the first image was a young boy half-crushed by reinforced concrete.
Everyone’s breath paused.
By now, they had gone through about 20 hours of continuous rescue; no one wasted ti crying anymore, instead, everyone gritted their teeth—
"Get in there!"
On the white cloth in the buffer zone, two military dogs widened their eyes, gasping heavily, but their companions didn’t even have ti to accompany them in their final monts.
Little Yellow was already adept at working with the rescue team, explaining how to follow the Rescue Dragonfly’s instructions to improve efficiency, yet Chu River silently sat down beside the two military dogs.
She didn’t move, but her spiritual power, already exhausted, transford into a gentle hand, gently and continuously stroking the exhausted military dogs, making their rough breaths slow and gentle.
Twenty hours of non-stop work, the dogs’ limbs were already swollen, a bloody ss, and their noses were covered in bloodstains, yet when they opened their eyes with an effort, their innocence and simplicity remained faintly visible.
Chu River chuckled softly.
She held the two military dogs in her arms, gently stroking each with a hand—
"’Good, you’ve done very well... Do you see the black Dragonfly in the sky? It can help your comrades.’"
"Now, you can rest."
The gentle breeze of her spiritual power circled around them, washing away the residual pain in their bodies from their soft ears onward.
They felt enveloped in gentleness, with exhaustion and pain disappearing, feeling instead like the warmth of being secretly held in the trainer’s arms when they were young...
The heavy breaths of the two military dogs gradually ceased, and their bright eyes slowly dimd.
Finally, they extended their tongues and gently licked Chu River’s cheek.
At this mont, tears stread down Chu River’s face.
...
For Qin Manman, this was a necessary disaster to promote her glorious life, but for Chu River, all life was real.
She followed the rescue team, using her spiritual power in places where the Dragonfly couldn’t assist, not stopping for a mont.
Little Yellow rapidly lost weight within just one day, his cheeks sunken, lips cracked, and the hair he once tried desperately to protect had beco a ss like a bird’s nest, but he didn’t even think about it.
At this mont, he was in another rescue team.
Rescue Dragonfly continuously issued red alerts.
[Critical!]
[Critical!]
[Critical!]
However, along with the vital signs alert, another alert was also flashing continuously.
[Collapse Risk 70%]
[Collapse Risk 78%]
[Collapse Risk 92%]
Everyone in the rescue team saw it, but no one stopped.
Under these layers of stone slabs and steel bars, a girl was struggling to hold on to life, waiting for their rescue.
The identification by the Rescue Dragonfly had always been accurate; they understood this.
But their duty and morality didn’t allow them to abandon a life like this.
When the heavy stone slabs were pried open, the young rescuer was the first to jump down.
"I’m the leanest!"
Saying this, he gently picked up the fallen girl and carefully sent her out.
Just then, the Dragonfly issued a sharp alert.
The next mont, a heavy stone fell directly, and the young warrior leaned his body forward, pushing the person out.
Simultaneously, there was a heart-wrenching scream—
"Ah—"
His two calves were struck by the falling stones, soon there was bright red blood trickling down slowly, while he sat there, unable to move, only able to grip the rough ground tightly with his equally bloodied hands!
Every bulging vein spoke of his pain.
This is the price of rescue—natural disasters show no rcy, sotis a life must be exchanged for another, with no luck, only maximum effort.
——The girl was sent out, but his legs were heavily crushed...
Even his bones were shattered.
The girl he sent out opened her eyes at this ti, witnessing a face twisted with agony.
"Brother..."
Her lips moved, but she had no strength to utter another sound, only weakly grasping the hem of his clothing.
And then she lost consciousness again.
...
Little Yellow silently watched all of this—the entire day’s rescue, the tragedies he had witnessed... too many, too many.
But no matter how many tis he witnessed it, numbness was impossible.
He lay exhausted during his break, staring at the sky, tears silently falling.
Chu River ca over and gave him a cup of water, then sat down.
"Little Yellow..."
The big sister’s voice was both fatigued and distant, surely unable to rember his na by now, but Little Yellow no longer cared.
This short day overturned his past decade of life... the color of his hair, how bad he was at gas, how hard Hu Sisi tried in competition...
All of it transford into sothing aningless, like a cloud of smoke in this mont.
Including the na he always emphasized—he was Zhou Ding.
——But in this disaster, those who didn’t have their nas recorded, were not just one or two.
He tried his best to listen to Chu River speak.
"I have a study, to install chanical limbs for disabled people. Once successfully installed and connected to neurons, their movents will be the sa as ordinary people, with no hindrance whatsoever."
Chu River turned to look at him:
"Do you want to learn?"
