Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: Rescue (6)

Yang Ruxin dared not delay, hastily extinguishing the oil lamp before taking out a torch she had previously made from her space and lighting it; she also lit a stick of incense.

This incense, concocted by Dao Xuzi, possessed a certain detoxifying effect.

Soon, those suffocating from the poison gas began to breathe more steadily.

Only then did Yang Ruxin realize that there were actually four stone chambers below, with people locked inside. Possibly because the poison gas had not been released for long, not everyone inside was affected.

However, many had already fallen unconscious.

The one who had been calling for help was a boy who looked about eight or nine years old. Seeing Yang Ruxin kick open the iron door of the stone chamber with one foot, he revealed a weak smile, "Save... save... my little sister," he said, pointing at the opposite chamber.

Yang Ruxin then noticed that this stone chamber contained only boys while the opposite one held all girls; she couldn’t help but nod her head, "Don’t worry, everything will be alright. If you can move, get out of here quickly..."

Unable to carry many people by herself, Yang Ruxin rushed into the chamber to pick up two of the youngest girls, both unconscious, and dashed out.

The boy who had asked for help also staggeringly ran out, carrying a slightly older girl with him.

"Xinxin..." Gu Qingheng quickly reached out to take the child.

"There were quite a number of people locked up inside. They must have released the poison gas during their escape. Fortunately, the gas didn’t burn for too long..." Yang Ruxin’s expression was somewhat ugly; she took out a porcelain bottle, "Give everyone going in for the rescue one pill to hold in their mouth..." Having said this, she turned and entered the tunnel again.

Gu Qingheng called for the people behind him to quickly tend to those who had come out, then followed into the tunnel, the rest of the people hurriedly following suit.

Soon, the Governor’s Office personnel also arrived.

In total, forty-eight people were rescued from the basement, of which twenty-eight were children and the remaining twenty were adults.

Although their arrival was timely, some of the people had weak resistance. So, even with the antidote pills developed by Dao Xuzi, the majority were still unconscious, and even those awake were all extremely weak. Even more heartbreaking, six people had stopped breathing entirely, among them four children and two adults,

including two little girls previously carried out first by Yang Ruxin. The oldest of these four children appeared to be only five or six years old, the youngest around two or three years old...

Looking at the tiny figure laid on the ground, Yang Ruxin didn’t know why, but the tears just wouldn’t stop flowing. Earlier, seeing those children curled up in the stone chambers made her uncomfortable, and now, she felt she could hold back no longer.

"Xinxin..." Gu Qingheng stretched his hand to pull Yang Ruxin into his embrace, "It’s over now..."

"Gu Qingheng..." Yang Ruxin reached out to hold Gu Qingheng’s waist, burying her head in his chest, "They were so young, how could those people bear to do this? Their lives had just begun, yet they hadn’t even had the chance to truly experience the world, and now... they’re gone..."

The others around them also had tears in their eyes.

Gu Qingheng could only gently pat Yang Ruxin’s back.

"Those people are the ones who deserve death most..."

"Don’t worry, one day, we will capture them all," Gu Qingheng nodded, "and then they will be subjected to a thousand cuts..."
