Chapter 287: 290 is here to pick up girls, not to be a volunteer!

Unconsciously, he didn’t know how far he had followed this group of people, nor in what area Lu Xiaoer was now; he had absolutely no clue.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

The person sitting next to him looked up at him.

Zhongli Wuzhi didn’t have time to deal with him; he was here to hit on girls, not to volunteer.

"People, come quickly! Over there, the mountain has collapsed; someone’s buried!"

Before Zhongli Wuzhi could even figure out where the shout had come from, a team member had wolfed down a bun and, grabbing Zhongli Wuzhi, took off running!

This run lasted for seven or eight minutes, and when they reached the collapsed part of the mountain, there were already two teams setting up tools and then descending to rescue people!

With the safety harness hooked onto him, Zhongli Wuzhi looked down and saw that the small ravine was at least a dozen meters deep.

Taking turns, Zhongli Wuzhi hadn’t even recovered his wits before he was already buckled with the safety line,

"Bro, you search over here! I’ll take this side."

With that, the man had already leaped down, and though the rope held him, it couldn’t conceal the danger of the place.

As Zhongli Wuzhi jumped down, all he could feel was that he had truly gone mad; for Lu Xiaoer, he had gone mad...!

The search and rescue process was long and despairing. Zhongli Wuzhi had not expected that hope was right beneath his feet; after detecting some movement, everyone worked together to dig out the trapped.

From this collapsed mountain section, six civilians, three soldiers, and two medics had been buried. By the time they were rescued, one civilian had already died, but the others were promptly sent for treatment.

Coming back to his senses, another three hours had passed.

"Why haven’t you been talking all this time? What’s your name?"

"My surname is Zhongli."

The two were sitting on a rock, resting, and he continued his search all around...

"What exactly are you looking for? Every time there’s a break, you start searching everywhere. Do you know someone around here?"

"Do you know Lu Xiaoer?"

"Dr. Xiao Lu?"

"..." Dr. Xiao Lu? A blush seeped across Zhongli Wuzhi’s dark face as he looked at the man.

"She’s part of the medical team, a university student who came voluntarily for the rescue. She’s kind-hearted, and everyone likes her."

"..."

"Are you friends with Dr. Xiao Lu, or?"

Zhongli Wuzhi smiled at the man, "She’s my girlfriend."

The man’s facial expression drained away, "..."

Zhongli Wuzhi chuckled and continued to drink water.

For a moment, the man didn’t quite know what to say. Zhongli Wuzhi felt a particular sense of superiority, and the man seemed particularly forlorn.

After about a quarter of an hour’s rest, Zhongli Wuzhi was dragged back into the rescue efforts.

Forty-eight hours of golden time passed, and then seventy-two hours...

Zhongli Wuzhi leaned on a patch of open ground, resting; he pulled out his phone, which had long since run out of battery, and casually tossed it aside.

Mad, mad... What on earth had he come here for! More than forty hours without sleep, let alone finding Lu Xiaoer, he hadn’t even seen a shadow. He closed his eyes and murmured her name,

"Lu Xiaoer..."

"Why are you calling for me?"

"..."

Zhongli Wuzhi’s half-closed fox eyes suddenly widened, and an ice-cold cola was pressed against his face.

Lu Xiaoer sat down beside him, popped open the can, and as the bubbles foamed up, she took a gulp and turned to look at him,

"When did you get here?"

Zhongli Wuzhi yanked her hand and pulled her into his arms with a strong tug, spilling cola onto her dirty and torn white coat.

"Let—"

"I won’t, I desperately need some energy, I’m nearly dead with exhaustion... if I don’t see you soon, I’m going to go mad..."

Lu Xiaoer’s face turned bright red as passersby repeatedly looked over...

Zhongli Wuzhi’s chin rested on her shoulder, revealing a smile on a face that was both ragged and dirty yet handsome.
