The sound reached Han Yue inside the vehicle, who looked at him through the glass and also commanded, "Quickly! Everyone hide behind the car! Tighten your helmets, back against the vehicle, squat down with your hands wrapped around your knees!!"

"Everyone, move quickly!!"

"Time is life!"

Each squad and team leader shouted a sentence.

In an instant, all the rescue personnel began following orders, shoulder to shoulder, squeezing behind the bus, with their backs against the tires and metal body, squatting in place.

The next second, they heard a "crash" as a football-sized rock suddenly shattered the car window, falling from above them, rolling down the mountain road, and slipping into the roaring river at the bottom, disappearing from sight.

And this was only the beginning.

Next, a massive amount of debris fell onto the mountain road, crazily piling up on the vehicle body, making the bus sound like a giant metal bell, "boom, boom, boom," with each strike resounding terrifyingly, while endless dust and dirt formed a suffocating sandstorm, sweeping over and engulfing everything.

Some rescuers instinctively tightened with nervousness and couldn’t help but close their eyes.

In the endless darkness, Gu Ji could only hear the continuous creaking of the bus body, as a force from behind kept pushing against his back, shifting his buttocks and the soles of his shoes.

The bus is moving down the slope!!

Once the bus is pushed off the slope, everyone will likely fall, yet no one dared to get up and leave because without the bus body shielding them, facing the rockslide with bare bodies would only mean a quicker death!

"Listen up, everyone, if the bus falls down the slope, make sure to grab the tree trunks below, and don’t fall into the river! Did everyone hear that!!"

"Yes!!"

In the critical moment, Han Yue led by shouting.

The crowd responded in unison, and with just that one shout, it seemed a little less scary, even though the rescuers were currently facing danger, their comrades were there beside them.

With the last stone rolling down.

Somehow, everything turned silent, the only sounds being the breathing of comrades and the "rustling" water flow from the slope below.

Gu Ji and the others slowly opened their eyes.

Through the misty dust, when he looked down, he saw the tips of his black hiking boots already over the edge of the mountain road by about two centimeters; a slight movement would cause a lot of sand and pebbles to roll downhill.

Which means.

If the bus were to be pushed another 10 centimeters, they would be shoved off the mountain!

"Everyone, don’t move until safety is confirmed!"

With the landslide ceased, Han Yue first reminded the rescue team to avoid panic, then himself took the initiative to come forward, move against the bus slowly, and prepare to inspect the road condition.

Seeing this scene, Gu Ji couldn’t help but sigh.

This Han Yue truly deserves the role of the action commander for this international rescue operation.

Experienced, decisive in giving orders;

In times of danger, ensures the evacuation of his subordinates first;

Once the danger is past, he’s the first to take the risk and verify safety.

No wonder in disaster relief, soldiers are always the main force; just these points alone are unmatched by many ordinary civilian command posts.

"Phew... It should be safe now. Everyone, listen for orders to get up, try not to touch the bus body, quickly move towards the front of the bus, but be sure to watch your safety!"

"Yes!"

The team members shouted, slowly getting up.

Due to the extremely cramped space crushed by the bus, everyone could only keep their sides turned while moving step by step.

Gu Ji, holding onto Xiao Jian, followed the team member in front, slowly lifting his feet, and at this moment, a sudden exclamation came from behind him.

Hearing the commotion, Gu Ji swiftly turned back, quickly grabbing the red figure falling outward.

With a fierce tug, he pulled him back.

"What’s happening back there! I heard someone scream!"

"Reporting to Mr. Han! N—, no problem!"

"If it’s okay, shut your mouth! Everyone, pick up the pace!"

Upon hearing Han Yue’s scolding, the figure behind Gu Ji hurriedly answered, fearing his mistake would affect the whole team.

Afterwards.

While the team was moving normally, he whispered behind Gu Ji’s ear, "Big brother, thank you for saving my life; my foot went numb, and I couldn’t stand properly!"

"You’re welcome."

Gu Ji didn’t exchange much with him, partly because the danger was not completely eliminated and he didn’t want to be distracted, and partly because he hadn’t completely grasped the interpersonal dynamics of "Bian Shizhang" and dared not speak recklessly.

Once outside the bus.

All rescue personnel couldn’t help widening their eyes, inhaling sharply in their hearts.

Looking around, chaos was rampant, rocks and dirt piled like mountains, covering everything below, while the two assault vehicles in front were completely buried in dust, and the two buses behind, one remained intact.

Whereas the one Gu Ji was in, the side facing the slope had already been completely deformed by the pressing boulders, with all its window glass shattered, inconceivable to imagine if not for the cover, people would have been crushed straightaway.

"All teams immediately count heads! Report injuries!"

"Search team all accounted for! No injuries!"

"Rescue team all present!"

"Medical team all present!"

"Technical and support team all here, one, one with squinting eyes..."

"Hahahaha..."

Hearing the words "squinting eyes," everyone couldn’t help but laugh out loud, seemingly celebrating their survival from the disaster.

Confident that no one on their side was injured.

A dirt and dust covered Yian Qingwen picked up the intercom, staring at the assault vehicle buried under dirt and rocks repeatedly calling, "Bafang Emergency Fire Brigade, how’s your situation over there? Please respond! Please respond!"
