Chapter 142: Chapter 140: Crossing Difficult Obstacles

Long Chen saw Gao Xun quickly walking forward and immediately hastened his steps.

"Doctor Gao, wait a moment, please."

Long Chen grabbed Gao Xun.

"What’s wrong?" Gao Xun asked.

"Let me lead the way. If there’s any danger, I’ll alert you immediately,"

Long Chen said.

While talking, Long Chen had already quickly moved ahead, maintaining a distance of about ten meters from Gao Xun and the others.

"This guy, he’s surprisingly courageous, unexpected,"

Gao Xun muttered.

"Teacher Gao, I think he’s indeed not a coward," Cheng Cheng said with a smile.

"Let’s go, let’s go."

Gao Xun didn’t think too much about it.

In the front, Long Chen had already begun to climb a massive landslide that was blocking the path.

The landslide was difficult to climb, but not for Long Chen.

However, it was an extreme challenge for Gao Xun and the others.

They were carrying medicine boxes and found it very difficult to climb.

Seeing this, Long Chen quickly took his medicine box up, placed it on top, then quickly went back down and fetched all of Gao Xun and the others’ medicine boxes, repeating the process twice to get everything up.

Then, Long Chen went back again, pulling each person up one by one.

Gao Xun sighed and said, "Getting old here, it feels quite strenuous. Kid, if I were a few years younger, I wouldn’t need your help."

"That is for certain, Teacher Gao speaks the truth," Long Chen replied with a smile.

Boom.

Just then, there was a sound of thunder from the sky, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Long Chen looked up, saw the dense black clouds and the flickering lightning.

"Damn, it’s about to rain. Everyone, speed up, it’s very dangerous up here,"

Long Chen hurriedly said.

"The rain’s starting; you guys, speed up and get down quickly,"

Gao Xun shouted loudly.

"Quick, don’t hesitate,"

Cheng Cheng also shouted.

Including Long Chen, there were six people at the scene. Aside from Long Chen, everyone else was accelerating.

But their speed couldn’t truly increase, because the landslide was uneven and treacherous to walk on.

Moreover, they had to be careful of potential landslides.

And most frighteningly, the rain began to pour heavily.

Amidst the thunder and lightning, Cheng Cheng and the others began to feel scared.

Long Chen glanced at the mountain next to them, his expression grave.

"We’re running out of time."

Long Chen dashed forward in a burst, scooped up a female nurse, his toes tapping on a large stone, and then he leapt up, landing safely below the landslide.

"Don’t loiter, keep running forward, get as far away as possible. A landslide could happen here at any moment. Don’t linger, don’t make trouble."

After Long Chen spoke, he turned around and ran back up again.

He planned to use the same method to bring Cheng Cheng and Gao Xun down, but Cheng Cheng pushed Long Chen away, "Take the teacher and Doctor Zhao down first, quick, it seems like it’s about to collapse."

"No, bring Cheng Cheng down first," Gao Xun said.

"You all talk too much; Cheng Cheng, then wait for me."

Long Chen then grabbed Gao Xun and Doctor Zhao, and like before, flew down the landslide.

At this time, the rain got even heavier.

Long Chen turned around, intending to rush up to bring Cheng Cheng down when suddenly the ground began to shake violently.

At the same time, the mountain above them showed signs of collapsing.

"Doctor Gao, you guys get out of here quickly, don’t hesitate, or we’ll all die,"

Long Chen yelled.

Then, Long Chen ran towards Cheng Cheng against the direction to save her.

On the landslide, because the rain was so heavy, the soil had turned into deep mud.

Cheng Cheng could barely move on it.

She felt desperate but had no regrets.

Unlike Cheng Cheng, Long Chen ran fast, each step lightly touching on the mud, almost as if skimming the water, his body swiftly approached Cheng Cheng.

He helped Cheng Cheng to her feet, who hadn’t expected that Long Chen would risk his life to save her despite the aftershocks.

In that moment, the usually cold Cheng Cheng felt so moved she wanted to cry.

But before she could speak, from the corner of her eye she saw a mudslide mixed with large rocks rushing down from above.

"Be careful..."

Cheng Cheng shouted loudly.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

In the nick of time, Long Chen shielded Cheng Cheng with his body.

A faint, vague light emerged on his body, forming a protective barrier.

Boom.

The mudslide with large rocks fell, burying Long Chen and Cheng Cheng.

The presence of the shield deflected most of the damage, and Cheng Cheng was protected unharmed.

However, Long Chen suffered, the impact of the mudslide and rocks severely shaking him, causing him to feel as if his internal organs were churning, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"Are you... are you all right?"

Cheng Cheng quickly asked.

"I’m fine. Hold on to me."

Long Chen said in a deep voice.

"It’s all my fault for dragging you into this."

Cheng Cheng held Long Chen tightly.

Long Chen growled, forcefully stood up, and carrying Cheng Cheng, broke free from the mudslide.

Thump.

A rock, at the same time, struck Long Chen on the head.

This time, Cheng Cheng saw it very clearly.

Her face turned pale with shock, even seeing Long Chen’s blood streaming down his cheek.

But Long Chen’s eyes were filled with unwavering determination, "Don’t be afraid, I will get you out of here."

"Long Chen..."

Cheng Cheng was unable to use words to describe the panic and astonishment she felt inside.

Long Chen took a deep breath, held Cheng Cheng in his arms, and rushed crazily outside.

Beside them, the mudslide was getting larger and more terrifying.

Long Chen was racing against it, not considering giving up for even a second.

Finally, when Long Chen saw a large rock that wouldn’t sink, he jumped onto it, kicked off from the rock, and flew downwards.

He landed steadily from a height of over ten meters.

"Can you still run? If you can, run quickly and don’t look back," Long Chen shouted loudly.

"I won’t, I want to go with you."

Cheng Cheng thought Long Chen wanted her to run alone and immediately shook her head vigorously.

She couldn’t abandon this man who was risking his life to save hers.

"Are you silly? I mean I’ll run with you. If you can’t run, I can carry you. If you can, let’s hurry up."

Long Chen grabbed Cheng Cheng’s hand and sprinted forward.

"Ah."

Having only run about twenty meters, Cheng Cheng twisted her ankle and fell to the ground.

Long Chen quickly crouched down and helped her up.

The sound of falling rocks continued as debris flew down from the mountain, hitting Long Chen or whizzing past overhead.

Long Chen stood in front of Cheng Cheng, protecting her.

Most people could not have endured it.

Tears burst forth from Cheng Cheng like a flood as she watched this scene, "Why do you keep saving me again and again? I don’t want this, the mountain is about to collapse massively, you should save yourself, don’t worry about me, otherwise neither of us will escape."

She pushed Long Chen forcefully.

Long Chen gave a slight smile and softly said, "I’m risking my life to save you now so that you can save more lives later. Come on, brother will hold you, no matter how many hardships and dangers lie ahead, I will make sure you live."

He scooped Cheng Cheng up horizontally and rushed forward.

At that moment, Long Chen’s speed became extraordinarily fast, navigating through the dangers.

Within seconds, he had caught up with Gao Xun and others.

But due to the heavy rain, Gao Xun and the others did not notice Long Chen’s superhuman speed.

"Are you alright?"

In a safe area now, Gao Xun anxiously asked.

"I’m fine."

Long Chen put Cheng Cheng down.

Yet, Cheng Cheng, crying, immediately opened a medical kit and began taking out medicines while sobbing, "You say you’re fine, yet you took all the hits from the debris to protect me, even got hit on the head, quickly crouch down, let me treat you urgently to prevent infections."

"Silly girl, I’m really fine. We shouldn’t stay here long, let’s leave this place first, I can still hold on."

Long Chen quickly put back the medicines Cheng Cheng had taken out and closed the medical kit.

Gao Xun looked deeply at Long Chen, secretly relieved.

If it weren’t for this young man accompanying them this time, only one or two of their group might have survived.

He didn’t say it aloud, but his opinion of Long Chen had drastically changed.

"Doctor Gao, Doctor Zhao, and everyone, take the medical kits and keep moving forward, I’ll carry Cheng Cheng."

Without further ado, Long Chen crouched down and lifted Cheng Cheng onto his back.

"Everyone, Long Chen is right, we shouldn’t stay here long, let’s go."

The group quickly ran forward, and after more than twenty minutes, they finally saw a village ahead.

Gao Xun and the rest were gasping for breath, completely exhausted.

Long Chen still looked robust, his eyes intensely focused on the almost completely collapsed village ahead.

"Take a rest, I’ll go ahead and save people."

Long Chen said solemnly.

"Just wait," Cheng Cheng grabbed Long Chen, "You need to tend to your injuries, don’t collapse before saving people."

"I’m fine."

Long Chen stood up and rushed ahead.

Watching Long Chen sprinting away, Cheng Cheng was moved once more by this man.

Before natural and man-made disasters, Great Xia needed such heroes who could selflessly save others.

"Teacher, I’ll go with him to have a look, you all rest a bit."

Cheng Cheng hobbled forward.

Seeing this, Gao Xun had no mood to rest, "Everyone up, grit your teeth and persevere, saving people is crucial."

In the forefront, Long Chen reached the first collapsed house and carefully searched, inspected, and shouted.

Minutes later, Long Chen dragged out four bodies.

This family of four, not one had survived.

This made Long Chen’s mood extremely gloomy.

But Long Chen didn’t stop, continuing to shout and search.

Soon, voices began to respond to Long Chen from within the ruins.

"Save us, please, quickly save us."

"Somebody is coming to save us."

"Quick, pull my son up."

These voices, barely audible amongst the sounds of thunder and rain, were only detected due to Long Chen’s keen hearing.

Long Chen, invigorated, immediately exerted himself in the rescue efforts.

Cheng Cheng, seeing Long Chen frantically digging and lifting collapsed beams, was inexplicably shaken and deeply remembered this handsome face.

"What are you staring at, help," Long Chen shouted loudly.

"Got it."

Cheng Cheng snapped back to reality and immediately went to help.

Approaching Gao Xun and others also quickly joined in.

Though Gao Xun and the others were already very exhausted.

But now, as they were saving lives, each of them desperately continued, even if their hands were already cut and bleeding from unknown debris, they didn’t stop.

This group of respectable medical staff left a profound impression on Long Chen.

During these natural and man-made disasters, they too were performing the deeds of gods with the bodies of mortals.
