The four soon-to-be middle schoolers looked over at the same time. There was originally a glass wall there, but it had all shattered in the collapse and completely exposed the other side. They could see the dark sky outside.
Perhaps it was because of the tsunami, but the sky was the darkest in the early hours of the morning. But at this moment, there was a faint light.
“Be careful and crawl over. There are helicopters outside. Call for help. Someone will come and save you…”
“Huh?” One of the middle schoolers was not only tall and thin, but he was also extremely agile. He immediately climbed along the wall and grabbed onto a protruding object, scaring the others.
“Be careful!”
“Monkey, slow down!”
As soon as they finished warning him, the collapsing building shook. Monkey lost his balance and immediately slid down.
“All!” The two girls were so scared that they closed their eyes.
The middle-aged man quickly reached out to grab him. A large section of the steel bar was pulled out of his body, and he almost fainted from the pain! However, the boy called Monkey was exceptionally agile. He grabbed something himself and finally successfully climbed to the window.
At this moment, the building had stopped shaking, as if it had found a temporary equilibrium. In the end, only five of them were left.
“Help! Over here! We’re here!” Monkey climbed at the edge of the window with all his might, waving the thing in his hand and shouting, “SOS!”
The members of the Metahuman Squad, who had just flown over from the collapsed building on the other side, immediately heard his croaky voice. “Monkey? It’s Monkey!” a boy with broken glasses yelled and almost stood up. “Those are our classmates. Please, can you save them?!”
“There’s no need to beg! I’ll go over now!” Qing Mo flew the helicopter and saved them in the blink of an eye.
“Monitor!?” the primary school kids cried out excitedly. “How did you get here? You scared us to death. Fortunately, you’re alright…”
“I was in another building and the situation there was very similar.
Fortunately, many people have been rescued.” His glasses were broken, but it didn’t hide the light of wisdom and calmness within the boy’s eyes.
A few of them nodded repeatedly.
“A man… There was a man that saved us! He was injured! Steel bars pierced his body!” The delicate boy who loved to cry said anxiously.
Eighth glanced at the building that was in danger and felt that he was already lost. However, he was surprised when he saw who it was. “Zhan Chunhui?” “What?” Qing Mo’s reaction was slower, as if he was trying to figure out who that person was.
A few students immediately shouted out excitedly, “It’s the mayor! He’s the mayor of Jieming City!”
Before they could finish his sentence, the building in front of them started to sink again, and it looked like it was about to collapse!
Qing Mo’s expression changed slightly. Eighth didn’t hesitate anymore. He hurriedly saved the man with a series of hard actions that no mere human could do.
A few students looked at him in shock and admiration.”That’s amazing!”
Eighth raised his chin slightly. His bad mood, which was caused by Tang Susu had suddenly brightened.
But in the next second, his expression darkened again.
“He will not make it…”
“He’s in shock and has lost too much blood.” Qing Mo looked at the man who had passed out as he put down his hand that was reaching for the first-aid kit.
After so many years’ worth of experience on “this side” of the world, they could tell Zhan Chunhui’s condition at a glance.
The delicate boy could not help but cry. “Mister Mayor did it to save us. He didn’t leave because he saved us. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been stabbed by the steel bars. He did it to save us…”
When the other students heard this, their eyes widened in disbelief, and the corners of their eyes couldn’t help but turn red.
Although they were young, they were very smart. They could see many things more clearly than adults.
If it weren’t for the reminder, they wouldn’t even believe that this was their mayor.
Everyone else said that those people had all escaped. They had escaped to the capital to save themselves. They didn’t care about them at all.
Why would there still be people guarding this place? Protecting this hopeless city? Using their lives to protect the citizens here…
They weren’t the only ones. Even Eighth couldn’t figure it out. A long time ago, he was given the mission to bring Zhan Chunhui back to the capital.
That was because many of those who sat in this position had powerful backgrounds. Zhan Chunhui was one of them. His family was one of the five top families. Just like the Tan family, they were both large families that had been around for a hundred years with roots that could be traced back to the last
war..
