125: Underwater Rescue, Water Breathing Potion

“Save him! Is anyone going down to save him? The person who sank into the river is going to drown!”

“Who dares to save him? This Yinsha River is not to be trifled with; there are so many whirlpools down there.”

“Quickly call the police, quickly call the police!”

“Alas, they can only pray for themselves. By the time the Police arrive, it will be too late.”

“With so many people, isn’t there anyone going down to save him?”

Such a tragic scene made the surrounding Comrades’ hearts clench, but going down into the river to save someone was truly not something an ordinary person could do. Besides making phone calls, they had no other choice.

Looking at the chaotic crowd and the Comrades continuously swimming over from the Jiang River, Ye Lin’s heart was filled with anxiety; time waited for no one.

He suddenly stepped forward and shouted loudly, “Comrades, I am a Police Officer from the Baiyun Police Station. Now, please listen to my command!”

“Listen to my command!” Ye Lin roared loudly!

The chattering sounds on the scene quieted down instantly with Ye Lin’s shout.

“It’s the Police! It’s good that there are Police.”

“Yes, we’ll listen to the Police.”

It must be said that the Comrades of Great Xia still had a high degree of recognition for the Police, so Ye Lin only shouted twice, and everyone looked at him.

“Now, those who cannot swim, stay on the shore. Find some ropes or something to pull people up, and after pulling them up, help with first aid.”

“Those who can swim, follow me to save them.”

“I emphasize again: do what you can, do what you can!!!”

“Never try to be a hero!”

“Understood?”

Ye Lin quickly shouted a few sentences, concise and clear.

“Understood.”

“Police Officer, we understand. Let’s hurry and save them.”

Ye Lin looked at the eager faces ready to go down and save people, feeling deeply moved. The Comrades were still kind.

“Go!”

Ye Lin waved his hand, and everyone followed him, running towards the Riverside.

Suddenly, the Comrades behind screamed one after another,

“It’s going to fall, it’s falling!”

“Oh my god, so many people are on it.”

“Ah—”

“It went down!”

Ye Lin looked up. At the broken section in the middle of the bridge, a twenty-seater minibus was half-suspended in the air, its wheels hanging outside. The driver must have braked in time, preventing it from plunging straight down.

However, without the bridge deck as support, that little concrete slab simply couldn't bear the weight of the vehicle and collapsed directly.

And the minibus, carrying a car full of people, plunged down headfirst.

“Thud!”

There was a loud bang.

The large minibus splashed water nearly 5 meters high on the Jiang River surface. In just a few short seconds, more than half of the vehicle had submerged. Only a few passengers managed to get out, with over a dozen still inside.

Ye Lin couldn't care about anything else. He quickly stripped off his clothes and dove into the Jiang River, swimming towards the middle.

Behind him, out of the dozens of Comrades, only 3 went into the water to save people. Not many truly dared to go into the water. Old He had already started organizing the Comrades on the shore to find ropes and floating objects, preparing to rescue people nearby.

The Jiang River surface of the Yinsha River appeared calm, but inside, it was full of whirlpools. He had felt this when he was chasing Wang Jun last time.

It was the same this time. Although Ye Lin was a good swimmer, he still found it a bit strenuous in this Jiang River.

Inside the minibus, people gradually swam up from under the water, including a few who could swim.

Ye Lin swam and shouted, “How many more people are down there?”

“There are so many, so many people are trapped in the car. The water pressure is too great; they can’t get out.” The person’s face was filled with grief.

Ye Lin frowned. This was critical. Over a dozen people, still in the Jiang River.

He took a deep dive downwards, opening his eyes. There was a slight stinging sensation, but it was bearable.

Below, the minibus was still slowly descending, with several people trapped inside. There was still a little air at the top of the car.

Time was running out for Ye Lin.

Ye Lin swam down with all his might, but in less than a few tens of seconds, his oxygen ran out.

Seeing the Comrades below calling for help, Ye Lin was extremely anxious.

Suddenly, he remembered that the system seemed to have given him something a long time ago. Ye Lin opened the system, and sure enough, there was a bottle of potion in his inventory: [Underwater Breathing Potion].

He drank it decisively. Instantly, Ye Lin felt countless oxygen molecules entering his body through his skin, and the feeling of oxygen deprivation vanished.

Ye Lin was overjoyed and swam down decisively.

“Bang bang bang”

The trapped people below, seeing Ye Lin arrive, gained hope and began to vigorously knock on the car windows.

Ye Lin observed. The minibus was currently floating diagonally in the water, with the front and doors facing upwards, and the rear downwards. There was still a small space with a little air at the front passenger seat, where several people waiting for rescue were gathered, but the situation was not good at all.

He first swam to the car door, pulling hard twice, but there was no movement. This minibus’s doors were probably electric and locked. It would be very difficult to open them without unlocking them.

However, the driver’s door had a mechanical lock. Ye Lin turned and swam down to the driver’s compartment.

Through the driver’s window, Ye Lin saw that the driver, Big Brother, had already fainted in his seat, with blood continuously seeping from his forehead, trailing a red line in the water. It was uncertain whether he was alive or dead.

The driver’s window was already open. Ye Lin reached his hand in from the outside and grabbed the door handle.

“Click”

The driver’s door actually opened! Ye Lin was overjoyed.

He pulled open the car door, unbuckling the driver’s seatbelt while gesturing to the passengers on the passenger side, indicating for them to come out through the driver’s compartment.

Among the few people was a child. His mother pushed the child over. Ye Lin reached out and grabbed the child, dragging both him and the driver with one hand each, and swam upwards.

Behind them, two people also squeezed out from the driver’s compartment and were struggling to swim upwards.

On the shore, a middle-aged man participating in the rescue dragged a drowning person from the middle of the Jiang River back to the shore. He was one of the three who went into the water with Ye Lin.

He Xinmin quickly stepped forward to drag the person ashore, and a group of people behind began to help with the rescue.

“Police Officer, that young Comrade has been down for 5 minutes. Will he be alright?” The man pointed to the middle of the Jiang River and said.

Old He looked at the Jiang River surface, only seeing the other two people and some struggling victims, but no sign of Ye Lin.

Old He’s heart clenched. He excitedly grabbed the middle-aged man, “How long has he been down?”

“I’m not sure either. The few of us went down briefly and came right back up; we didn’t dare to stay long. He went down and hasn’t come back up,” the middle-aged man replied helplessly.

“We few went down to look, but we couldn’t see him. He wouldn’t have gotten into trouble, would he?”

“No, Lin Zi is lucky; nothing could happen to him.” Old He felt a bit unsteady on his feet. If he had really been down for 5 minutes, it was likely that he was in grave danger.
