Chapter 2231

“You guys move back a little. We’ll dig a rescue passage.” After analyzing the situation, they discovered

a boulder blocking their way, and forcefully breaking it could potentially cause a collapse. It was then

that a rescue member announced some shocking news. “Their breathing is weak. We need to send

them out, else they won’t make it. Also, we’re facing an issue, Mr. Quarles. There’s a rock ahead that

can only be blasted open with a small explosive, but we’re concerned about the risk of collapse. If we

use other methods, it may take us three more hours.”

Ethan contemplated the situation. With the lives of three individuals slipping away, he quickly decided,

“No, three of my men are unconscious, and their lives are at stake right. now.” “But if we forcefully

detonate the explosives, you will all be at risk, Mr. Quarles. We can’t take the risk, and your status-”

“Quit it with the status thing. Here, everyone’s life is equally important. There is no distinction. of rank.”

Ethan interjected. “Alright.” The rescue team captain nodded after coming to himself. “I’ll select the best

blasting position. Give me ten minutes.”

“Thank you,” said Ethan before stepping back to the side of his subordinates. The blasting work began

intensely, and everyone held their breath and listened to the work unfolding on the other side. They

were eager to be rescued but also worried about encountering further danger..

One of the team members delivered this news to the communication team, and it quickly. reached

Edward, who let out a heavy sigh of relief after the call. His only son was still alive. It was the greatest

blessing from above to him.

As for Josephine, she hadn’t received any news yet, for only a few people knew about this information.

It was done to avoid disrupting the rescue operation and to protect the news.

After all, Ethan’s current predicament was likely orchestrated by someone with ill intentions. With the

complex crowd of rescue personnel, controlling the spread of information was another way to protect

Ethan.

In the dark cave, with a loud explosion, the previously obstructing rock could be heard breaking into

heavy fragments, and a hole big enough for one person to pass through appeared.

“Quickly, carry the injured out,’ Ethan. immediately commanded his subordinates to transport the

wounded first. The rescue personnel on the other side were ready to receive them outside. Soon, the

three injured individuals were brought out, followed by the departure of the staff one by one.

“Mr. Ethan, please leave!” one of Ethan’s bodyguards urged him to leave first, but Ethan. looked at his

frightened subordinates beside him. He didn’t leave immediately but stayed behind to calm them down.

“Go out one by one in an orderly manner. Don’t rush. We will all make it out safely,” Ethan reassured

them. One young engineer covered his face and burst into tears. The joy of being rescued and the fear

suppressed within him overwhelmed his emotions.

“Mr. Ethan! However, the bodyguards hoped Ethan would prioritize his own escape. “Let them go first,”

Ethan ordered firmly. His departure would only increase the employees’ fear.

Soon, more than twenty employees left one. after another, and Ethan instructed his bodyguards to

assist the employees who were weak in their legs. However, just as the last employee left, a loud

rumbling sound could be heard, accompanied by a muffled groaning in the air, as if something couldn’t

withstand the pressure.

“Mr. Ethan, hurry! This place is about to collapse,” the remaining two bodyguards exclaimed. “Get out

quickly. It’s collapsing!” The rescue team members also started to panic. They could clearly feel

vibrations under their feet, indicating the possibility of a large-scale collapse.

Ethan crouched and crawled out of the hole. Just as his two bodyguards emerged, ready to leave, they

heard a thunderous noise behind them.

“Run!” Ethan shouted, leading the bodyguards to sprint toward the exit.
