Chapter 96: Chapter 095: A Man Who Can Face Desperation Calmly

Tang Zelin didn’t even respond to his comment, much calmer than him. A person who might be about to die, besides observing the surrounding conditions and figuring out how to escape, still had the leisure to explain the terrain and topography of Peng Mountain to him.

Then he made a conclusive judgment: After the aftershocks of this sudden earthquake, there should be no larger earthquakes.

They were trapped here, but it wasn’t impossible to escape.

At first, Yuan Xiao thought that his big brother must have some magic solution, but after waiting for a long time and seeing no movement below, Yuan Xiao began to get nervous and asked Tang Zelin several times about his condition.

He asked repeatedly until Tang Zelin got annoyed and reluctantly revealed the truth.

“My leg is injured.”

With these three words uttered so casually by Tang Zelin, “my leg is injured,” as if it was nothing serious, but who was Yuan Xiao?

He was the brother who had been hanging around with Tang Zelin since they were wearing split pants as toddlers. Others may not know what kind of temper Tang Zelin had, but how could he not know?

If his leg was just hurt, and he was Tang Zelin, he could hop on one leg and stubbornly fight to the end. So, if it was just an injury, what was it really?

Therefore, there must be more to it than just an injured leg for Tang Zelin down there.

Yuan Xiao was worried, struggling hard to extricate himself and rescue Tang Zelin, but after exhausting himself several times, Tang Zelin stopped him.

“Stay still up there, what if you shake something loose and it falls and hits me?”

With that one sentence, Yuan Xiao didn’t dare to move.

In fact, he knew Tang Zelin wanted him to conserve strength and wait for rescue.

In this remote mountainous area, they had initially run in to lure the enemy as a trap to save people, but who knew whether those people were still alive, and even if they were, whether they would have the courage to come back into the mountain to rescue them.

Yuan Xiao wasn’t holding out much hope.

Tang Zelin meant that it was better to believe that there was hope than to believe there was none.

If one believed there was no hope, their will to live wouldn’t last a few days.

Tang Zelin analyzed the impact of the earthquake, believing that if it caused a certain level of disaster, the Jingdong government and military would inevitably get involved, and by then, they would still have a chance of being rescued.

All they had to do was to conserve energy and wait.

That’s what he said to Yuan Xiao, but on the other hand, he had been considering all sorts of plans to get out of danger.

When he heard voices searching for people in the darkness above, his eyes snapped open in mild surprise.

He hadn’t expected the Peng Mountain Region’s military response to be so fast and efficient, much ahead of his original estimate. Impressive.

After Yuan Xiao was rescued, Tang Zelin calmly waited below.

Soon after, a thick voice rose beside him.

“Tang Zelin?”

“It’s me.”

Zhao Kang grasped the rope with one hand and swept around with a flashlight in the other.

Tang Zelin turned his head away from the suddenly bright light.

Only after Zhao Kang surveyed the surroundings did he understand why the other had been lying there unable to move.

The place where Tang Zelin had fallen was exactly where the mountain had split open, tearing out a piece just big enough for a person to move around a little; if he moved too much, he could easily fall down further.

Zhao Kang looked at Tang Zelin’s right lower leg: “Injured?”

“Hmm.”

“Serious?”

Tang Zelin smiled faintly and said, “I’m afraid you’ll have to trouble yourselves to pull me up.”

In other words, apart from his leg injury, other parts of him might also be hurt. Zhao Kang instantly understood and looked up to inform the others who had come down with him.

Next, it was time for everyone to work together to figure out the best way to pull Tang Zelin up.
