Chapter 133: For You or For Me?

  Ning Fan's several requests made Tang Zhiwen stunned. If the first two requirements only showed that Ning Fan also wanted to participate in the rescue, they were still acceptable. However, the last requirement left Tang Zhiwen bewildered.

  "Ning Fan, what are you trying to do?" Tang Zhiwen couldn't help but ask.

  "The collapsed area is quite long, about 200 meters. If we dig slowly like this, it may not be in time. The air inside may not be sufficient." Ning Fan replied.

  "But in that case, we can't let the rescue personnel leave." Tang Zhiwen said with a frown.

  "Mayor Tang, I can't explain it clearly to you, but trust me, I have a faster way to dig through here, but this method has some danger, so it's better for me to do it alone." Ning Fan said.

  "Are you dissatisfied with our slow rescue?" A rescuer became discontent, which was understandable as he had been working hard to rescue while Ning Fang was pouring cold water here.

  "Sorry, I just want to save people." Ning Fan didn't explain further. "Mayor Tang, please cooperate with me for a moment, trust me, I won't play with their lives."

  "This……" Tang Zhiwen hesitated, and with his common sense, Ning Fan's request was absolutely problematic. But he also knew that Ning Fan had a special relationship with Ye Rou, and it was impossible for Ning Fan to joke about Ye Rou's life.

  After a slight hesitation, Tang Zhiwen asked: "How much food and water do you need? And how many tools?"

  Tang Zhiwen finally decided to cooperate, not because he was careless, but because he was clear that if he didn't agree, Ning Fan would probably go directly to Secretary Zhang, and when the time came, Secretary Zhang would give an order and he would still have to agree. It's better to agree with Ning Fan now than to do so later.

  "Not too much is needed, water can be a bit more, food should be easy to carry, as for tools, let them leave all the tools here and it should be fine." Ning Fang said quickly.

  "Alright, I'll arrange it right away." Tang Zhiwen nodded.

  Soon, Tang Zhiwen had the driver bring some chocolate and bread, as well as a few bottles of mineral water. These things were stuffed into a backpack, which Ning Fan put on his back, then he collected the rescue tools that had been dropped down.

  "Mayor Tang, I'm afraid you all have to leave now." Ning Fan said finally.

  "Ning Fan, are you sure about this?" Tang Zhiwen still had some misgivings.

  "Mayor Tang, I am calm and clear-headed, I know what I'm doing." Ning Fan said calmly.

  "Alright, be careful then." Tang Zhiwen looked rather helpless. "Everyone follow me out first."

  Under the leadership of Tang Zhiwen, the rescue personnel walked out of the tunnel together.

  "Mayor Tang, how did you all get out?" The speaker was the leader of the rescue team, who was discussing the rescue method with others, but suddenly found that his team members had all come out.

  "A madman drove us all out." a rescuer said indignantly.

  "Captain Yao, do you have binoculars?" Tang Zhiwen asked instead.

  "Here." Captain Yao quickly handed over the binoculars to Tang Zhiwen.

  Tang Zhiwen took over the telescope and stood at the entrance of the tunnel, looking inside. As soon as he looked, he was stunned: "This... Ning Fan has really gone crazy?"

  In his line of sight, Ning Fan was waving his tools at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye, with dust flying everywhere, making it hard for Tang Zhiwen to see clearly. But he knew that Ning Fan was using the most primitive excavation method!

  "What's going on, Mayor Tang?" Captain Yao couldn't help but ask.

  Before Tang Zhiwen could answer, he also brought another telescope and looked inside directly. As soon as he saw it, he became anxious: "Quickly, go stop him! He's going to get into trouble like this. The soil and rocks in there are very unstable and may bury him at any time!"

  Two rescue workers rushed in immediately, but soon they ran back out again.

  "Captain, there's no way to stop him. That man seems to have gone mad. We can't even get close to him." One of the team members said with a bitter face.

  "Captain, that man's strength is not to be underestimated! His digging speed is incredibly fast, in just a short while, he has already dug in one meter!" Another team member looked somewhat admiring.

  "What's going on? Who is this person?" Captain Yao was even more tense, "The deeper he digs, the more likely something will go wrong!"

  "Captain Yao, have you come up with a better rescue plan?" Tang Zhiwen asked at this time.

  "Mayor Tang, we are not familiar with the geological conditions and for now, we can't find a better solution. We are thinking of applying for rescue robots. We plan to use the robot to dig a very small passage and first send in supplies." Captain Yao replied.

  "How long will it take?" Tang Zhiwen asked.

  "It's hard to say, after the robot is delivered, if everything goes smoothly, it may take about four hours." Captain Yao replied.

  "Are you sure the robot can get in?" Tang Zhiwen hesitated for a moment and asked again.

  "Mayor Tang, this definitely has some risks." Captain Yao shook his head and said.

  "Well then, before the robot arrives, let's not stop Ning Fan." Tang Zhiwen said slowly: "However, we must keep an eye on him. Once we find out he is in danger, we will rescue him as soon as possible."

  "Tang Mayor, who is that madman after all?" Captain Yao couldn't help but ask.

  "He's called Ning Fan." Tang Zhiwen replied simply.

  After some thought, Tang Zhiwen added a sentence: "The Mayor Ye who was trapped inside was his girlfriend."

  "It was like that after all." Captain Yao suddenly realized and finally praised, "Hmm, although a bit crazy, but also a good man."

  Other rescuers also began to understand Ning Fan at this time. His girlfriend was trapped inside, no wonder he went crazy. Thinking of this, everyone didn't have any dissatisfaction anymore.

  "I hope Ning Fan is okay." Looking at Ning Fan's gradually disappearing figure in the dust through the telescope, Tang Zhiwen secretly sighed.

  Tang Zhiwen can understand women like Ning Fan and Ye Rou who are outstanding and worth men going crazy for.

  However, the fact is far from what Tang Zhiwen can understand. Tang Zhiwen does not know that Ning Fan and Ye Rou are not in a romantic relationship, and Ning Fan is not crazy at this moment. He is even calmer than usual. This seemingly crazy behavior of his is actually the result of careful consideration.

  Ning Fan is not a geological expert, nor is he a rescue expert. He doesn't know if the tunnel will continue to collapse or what other methods of rescue there are. All he knows is the simplest and most brutal method: digging out a road.

  He was not unaware of the danger of collapse, but he had a special ability that no one else had, which was that he could foresee the danger. Every time he encountered danger, he could only predict it in advance, and this also meant that if there was a collapse during excavation that threatened his life, he would also be able to foresee it.

  Once he perceives such a danger, he will dig in another direction until he no longer feels the danger, and he believes that with his strong precognitive ability, he can surely dig out a passage.

  And he couldn't ask for help from others, because no one else had his ability. In fact, he believed that this kind of violent digging, which seemed to be without any care, would be faster than the careful excavation of the rescue personnel, and he also had enough physical strength to do it.

  Throw away the tool that was just dug up, Ning Fan picked up another tool and continued to dig. This is a relatively long project. The initial estimate is that it will take at least two or three hours at the earliest. However, he believes that this speed is already the fastest compared to other rescue methods.

  Outside the tunnel, Tang Zhiwen and others were quite tense, while inside the tunnel, Ning Fan was quickly waving his tools, looking like a madman. However, at this moment, Ye Rou and Wu Yi, who were trapped in the tunnel, were surprisingly calm.

  In fact, the situation of Ye Rou and Wu Yi at this moment is better than expected. Both of them are not injured, only the car was smashed by a large stone on the front of the head.

  The tunnel collapsed at both ends, but the middle section of about 200 meters looked relatively intact. There were two lamps still lit inside this section, although they were a bit dim, but at least there was light, which allowed people to roughly see the situation inside the tunnel.

  There are four cars trapped here, in addition to Ye Rou and Wu Yi's Range Rover, there is also a Honda, a Volkswagen, and a Chevrolet.

  Honda upstairs are two young men of twenty-seven or eight years old, one fat and one thin. The Volkswagen has a family of three, a couple in their thirties with a five-year-old girl. As for the Chevrolet, there is only one person, a young woman dressed quite sexily.

  A young woman got off the bus, looking very nervous. The little girl also looked scared, her parents were holding her, staying in the car together. As for the fat and thin young men, they kept walking around inside.

  Wu Yi and Ye Rou sat in the shadow of the lamp light, not greeting anyone who had passed by. The young woman from before came over to greet them, but neither of them paid attention to her.

  "Did you say he knows we're trapped here?" Ye Rou suddenly asked aloud, her voice very soft, only Wu Yi could hear.

  "There must be someone who informed the city government about the collapse here. I think they will inform him, after all, they think you are his girlfriend." Wu Yi replied calmly.

  "Will he come to save us?" Ye Rou asked again.

  "Yes." Wu Yi's answer was very brief.

  "Do you think he came for me or for you?" Ye Rou's voice was somewhat strange. "I always feel that he likes you better."

  "He prefers that female coroner." Wu Yi replied: "And if you were trapped here alone, he would definitely come too."

  "It's actually possible that if I really died here, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing." Ye Rou's voice at this moment wasn't cold, but seemed to have a hint of weakness.

  "You haven't even had a romance yet, it's not worth dying," said Wu Yi calmly.

  "You haven't either." Ye Rou seemed a bit unconvinced.

  The two fell silent again, but just then a loud shout suddenly rang out: "Grass, I can't take it anymore!"
