CHAPTER 987: CHAPTER 987

Xiaojin quickly came to his side and watched him, afraid that he might do something foolish.

How can this be blamed on him? He did it for her own good. Besides, who could have thought such a thing would happen?

Xiaojin looked at the fiercely burning fire, and his heart was filled with extreme distress.

The two stood there and waited for more than two hours. Finally, the fire began to decrease in intensity. Seeing this, Lin Yebai immediately walked towards the group of people in orange: "Where is the person? I ask you, is the person found?"

"Not yet. We’ve searched every possible place in the factory area, but haven’t found anyone." The firefighters, equally exhausted, revealed heavy expressions upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yebai’s face lost its last bit of color. He ignored their attempts to stop him and dashed forward: "Impossible, she must be in there, it’s impossible."

"What are you doing? Hey, come back, it’s dangerous!"

The firefighters were shocked at this scene, shouting angrily and rushing to catch him.

Xiaojin was also frightened by this scene, continuously shouting from behind to remind him to come back. However, at this moment, the man seemed not to hear anything and charged straight inside.

"I know where she is, I know where she is..." He repeated frantically, like a madman.

The firefighters heard this and, though concerned about his safety, ultimately followed him inside. Upon following him into the collapsed factory, they indeed found some blood traces in a place with a broken sign about an office.

It seemed she really was here!

The firefighters were overjoyed upon seeing this and quickly led a dog inside. The dog sniffed around the rubble and soon started barking loudly from underneath.

"Signs of life detected, requesting assistance, requesting assistance!" Upon witnessing this scene, everyone’s eyes lit up, and they immediately notified the soldiers outside to bring in rescue tools, ready to pry open the concrete slabs above.

However, just as they were about to begin, a loud "bang" came from the already ruined factory, and before anyone could react, the very ground they were standing on collapsed again.

"Ah—"

It was a true human tragedy; apart from Lin Yebai, who had been pushed aside because of the need to pry open the stone slabs, virtually all five or six firefighters standing there fell into the collapse.

They fell, a few screams, and then no sound at all!

"Captain, Xiaozhang—" Nearby, standing with Lin Yebai, was another firefighter initially meant to protect him. Upon seeing this tragedy unfold, he fell to the ground and let out a mournful cry.

Six lives...

Lin Yebai was stunned, watching those orange figures, like kites falling down. The people who had just been helping rescue others beside him suddenly went silent. Instantly, he felt as if struck by lightning, his whole body swayed where he stood, and his mind was void.
