Chapter 464 It's alright, it's alright, husband will take you home!
A crowd of onlookers, drawn by the commotion, gathered several miles away and whispered among themselves.
"The Chang'an Brigade must have been punished by heaven!"
Lu Yuan didn't know whether he had been punished by heaven; all he knew was that his lover was there.
Just as I was about to push my way through the crowd, I was stopped: "Comrade, this area is under martial law. Please wait over there!"
Lu Yuan showed his identification: "Comrade, we're passing through here on a mission, we can help you!"
The man's eyes gleamed: "Thank you, comrade, we're short-handed!"
A group of people were allowed to pass through, and once inside, they learned just how severe the "earthquake" had been around the Chang'an Brigade.
The terrain in many places has changed. Some of the commune members who were unable to leave in time were trapped in the ruins and were on the verge of death, while others left immediately.
Looking at the body they had dug out, Lu Yuan bowed deeply to them: "I'm sorry!"
Mao Zijun, who brought him there, comforted him, saying, "It's all because of natural disasters, you don't need to be too sad."
Ji Ming and the others exchanged glances but did not refute this statement.
In their hearts, Qiao Manman is a hero, but a hero's actions are different from others.
Just because they can accept this strangeness doesn't mean others won't have second thoughts.
Thinking that since these people were convinced that an earthquake had occurred in Chang'an Brigade, they naturally wouldn't refute it.
They might even give her a push to cover up Qiao Manman's abnormality.
"Comrade Mao, we want to go to the epicenter of the earthquake!"
"Okay, follow this road and you'll reach Chang'an Brigade in about half an hour!"
I heard that the people from that production team sensed something was wrong and left beforehand.
A bunch of selfish bastards, they didn't even bother to notify the other production teams!
Lu Yuan didn't reply. He tossed the Rejuvenation Pill he was carrying to him and then led his men toward the Chang'an Brigade.
A group of highly trained people traversed the cracked, rocky ground with ease.
We arrived at our destination in no time, but it was completely different from what we had seen a few hours earlier.
They couldn't find the thatched hut where the Meng family lived, nor could they find Qiao Manman, who had disappeared for several hours.
"Wife, Manman!" Lu Yuan shouted hoarsely as he turned over the stones, while Da Huang barked and sniffed around.
Unfortunately, nothing worked. There was no sign of human life here, only ruins.
As darkness fell, the group refused to accept that Qiao Manman had vanished into thin air and refused to leave.
Suddenly, Lu Yuan caught a glimpse of lush green, nestled between two rocks.
He rushed over, pried the stone aside, and a broken bracelet appeared in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Lu Yuan carefully picked up the bracelet and placed it in his palm.
The next instant, Qiao Manman appeared on the ground.
Her face was pale, her expression calm, and she made no other movements except for the slight rise and fall of her chest.
"Wife, wife!" Lu Yuan exclaimed with joy and hugged her tightly, but Qiao Manman did not respond at all.
Lu Yuan touched her neck and kissed her cheek, tears streaming down his face: "It's okay, it's okay, your husband will take you home!"
Lu Yifeng asked worriedly, "My sister-in-law...?"
“She’s still alive. I’ll take her to the hospital. You stay here and help out.”
"Let Xia Zhao accompany you. She's a woman, so it'll be easier for her to take care of your sister-in-law!"
Xia Zhao nodded: "Deputy Regiment Commander Lu, let me go!"
"Okay, Xia Zhao, thank you! Da Huang, stay here. I'll come pick you up once Manman is out of danger!"
Big Yellow cried anxiously, but Lu Yuan said, "Saving more people is like accumulating good fortune for your master!"
Da Huang calmed down, glanced at Qiao Manman, and then ran off towards where there were people.
