513: Leave
Su Yue had been holding Xiao Xiao's pulse tightly, and at this moment, he could feel the pulse beating weaker and weaker.
“If this continues, her internal organs will fail, and the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Su Yue urgently thought of first aid. Relying on his extraordinary memory, the contents of books he had read before flashed before his eyes like flowing water.
“In case of shock, the supine position with the head and legs elevated should be adopted…”
“Keep the airway open…”
Su Yue immediately changed the curled-up Xiao Xiao to a flat position and raised her head and legs.
Although he didn't know if it would be effective, since the book said so, it must have its reasons…
Normally, after changing positions, Xiao Xiao's breathing should become smoother, or at least there should be a significant change.
However, at this moment, her condition did not improve. Instead, as time passed, her breathing became weaker and weaker.
Su Yue leaned close to Xiao Xiao's chest and listened carefully to her heartbeat.
Her body temperature was dropping, and her heartbeat was weaker than before.
“Is it because of the unstable internal environment caused by difficulty breathing…”
Su Yue fumbled on the ground looking for Xiao Xiao's phone, but where could he find it in this emergency?
The situation was critical, and Xiao Xiao could stop breathing at any time.
Su Yue stopped thinking. His right hand, which had been holding her pulse, moved along her arm to her cheek, and finally found her lips…
Since the shock was caused by difficulty breathing, the first thing to do was to restore her breathing!
Su Yue took a deep breath and began to perform artificial respiration on Xiao Xiao.
Her lips were very soft, but at this moment, Su Yue had no time to think about these things.
“Huff!”
After each artificial respiration, Su Yue would listen to her heartbeat again and then press her chest.
“Huff!”
“Huff!”
“Cough, cough, cough!”
After several cycles, Xiao Xiao finally coughed violently a few times.
Su Yue listened to her heartbeat again.
This time, her heartbeat gradually became stronger.
That is to say, she had begun to recover. Although she was still weak, her life was finally out of danger.
“How do you feel?”
“Xiao Xiao?”
“Xiao Xiao!?”
Although Xiao Xiao coughed a few times, she did not fully wake up.
Su Yue was a little confused and felt Xiao Xiao's pulse again.
“Isn't this starting to recover?”
He tentatively called out again: “Xiao Xiao?”
Xiao Xiao was in a dazed state at this time, and her oxygen-deprived brain did not recover so quickly.
But she vaguely heard someone calling her name.
“Who is it?”
She asked herself vaguely.
Her brain was like restarting, beginning to load previous memories.
“Xiao Xiao?”
“Xiao Xiao?”
The distant calls accelerated the operation of her brain.
At this moment, a scene from a rainy night suddenly froze in Xiao Xiao's mind.
“This voice… who is it?”
“Is it you?”
She seemed to be standing in the rain, returning to that rainy night.
When she thought of this name, she suddenly woke up.
“Cough, cough, cough, cough!!!”
Perhaps she woke up too hastily, and she coughed violently.
But this time, the cough was no longer weak, appearing much more forceful.
“You're awake?”
Xiao Xiao, who had just eased her cough, heard the voice coming from her ear.
She subconsciously raised her arm and wiped her mouth.
She felt a little pain and coldness in her chest.
Xiao Xiao subconsciously touched it, but found her clothes were torn open.
However, she had no time to bother with these things. A more urgent question in her heart needed to be confirmed.
Facing this so-called “Yang Qing” beside her, Xiao Xiao suddenly asked: “Are you Su Yue?”
Su Yue was startled when he heard Xiao Xiao guess his identity, but he remained calm on the surface: “Are you silly because of lack of oxygen in your brain?”
“How could I be Su Yue?”
Although Xiao Xiao was still very confused, her voice had returned to its usual calmness: “Your voice… is definitely Su Yue.”
“You can change your appearance, and even your tone and intonation of speech can be changed, but your voice quality cannot be changed…”
“You still want to lie to me?”
Su Yue's tone carried a hint of playfulness: “You should wake up quickly.”
“Su Yue is just an eighteen-year-old boy. No matter how capable he is, can he do what I do?”
When Xiao Xiao heard this, she immediately retorted: “You…”
“He is better than you…”
She realized that something was wrong with this sentence, paused for a moment, and cleared her thoughts.
“No… you are Su Yue…”
“I've heard this voice, Fu Qiyang…”
“You must be Su Yue!”
Su Yue was very surprised. This woman actually recognized him by his voice?
Was she really unconscious just now?
But of course, he would not admit it.
“Alright, alright, I am Su Yue.”
“Okay?”
“Wake up quickly.”
“Why has your brain become stupid? Take a deep breath, otherwise, brain cell necrosis caused by lack of oxygen is irreversible.”
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao took a deep breath.
Did she actually take a deep breath?
Su Yue felt that Xiao Xiao was still a little confused when she first woke up, which created a kind of contrasting cuteness…
The long-legged female special agent, when her brain wasn't working properly, was actually like this.
But he didn't say anything more, just waited for Xiao Xiao to start doubting herself.
But Xiao Xiao started talking to herself: “Yang Qing… Xuanyuan…”
“Su Yue, Yang Qing?”
Although she couldn't see her expression in the dark, she still frowned.
“You are definitely Su Yue…”
“Don't try to lie to me.”
She insisted.
Su Yue sighed and complained: “Oh, so I can't even be called Yang Qing anymore? If I were called Fang Qing, Wang Qia, or Gu Qijing, would I also become Su Yue?”
However, the name Yang Qing that Su Yue casually chose did indeed come from the characters Xuanyuan.
What does this count as?
But as long as he didn't admit it, this woman would definitely have no way.
“Otherwise, you can sleep for a while longer. What's the point of insisting I'm Su Yue now?”
“When we get out and you catch me, won't you know who I am?”
“I'm really just Yang Qing.”
Su Yue's words made Xiao Xiao quiet down.
Su Yue knew that she must be thinking about the loopholes in his words.
With just these few sentences, she couldn't find evidence that he was Su Yue no matter how hard she thought.
Getting hung up on the word “Qing” was even more unreliable.
After a while, Xiao Xiao suddenly realized something else.
She opened her mouth and said: “Thank you.”
She suddenly remembered that she wanted to tie the cloth strips to her legs before, but this person was so cold at the time and didn't help her.

But now he had saved her life.
She felt that she should thank him.
Especially when their positions were different, he still chose to help her, which was even more admirable…
At this moment, she suddenly remembered…
Her first kiss, just like that, was gone?
Outside the cave, it was already noon.
“Xiao Xiao has been trapped for fifteen hours.”
A Qi said, and Xiang Shanmo beside him also nodded solemnly.
More and more people gathered at the foot of Lingtian Mountain. They could only strictly exclude people from the isolation zone. This number was something they had not anticipated before.
Xiang Shanmo said hoarsely: “What I'm worried about now is her psychological state.”
A Qi nodded and said: “If she is still alive, I hope she doesn't give up hope.”
“In the dark, there is no sound, and no external signals can be received…”
“In such an environment, her situation will only get worse.”
A Qi turned to look at Xiao Ting, who was calculating. He had been in this state for half an hour, constantly comparing the clues given by the engineering team to control the amount of explosives.
This calculation workload was huge, and the preparations required for directional blasting were more than ordinary blasting.
A Qi originally wanted to ask Xiao Ting about his progress, but seeing him so busy that he didn't even have time to wipe his sweat, he had to give up the idea.
“I hope everything goes smoothly and there are no more mishaps.”
He thought to himself. At this moment, a panting team member ran over and said: “Kang Team, the explosives transferred from the military region have been placed near the cave.”
“When can we start? Do we need to evacuate?”
A Qi didn't understand blasting, so he could only say: “Wait a little longer, it will be ready soon.”
At this time, Xiao Ting's voice came: “No need to wait any longer, we can start now.”
“Give me half an hour, and have the electric drill and level ready.”
A Qi had never seen such a focused Xiao Ting. It seemed that people become so focused when they are doing what they are good at.
This was exactly the case with Xiao Ting at this moment.
A Qi also nodded solemnly and said: “Evacuate the nearby public, and have our people go to the safe zone as well.”
“Also contact an ambulance. The situation inside the cave is unclear, and it's uncertain whether there will be secondary injuries…”
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ting interjected: “Kang Team, I heard there might be other explosives in the cave?”
“The amount of explosives prepared by those tomb robbers is enough to blow up the entire cave?”
A Qi was stunned, then nodded.
Xiao Ting hummed and said: “Then draw the isolation zone a little further.”
His expression was very solemn.
“It's impossible to confirm the situation of the explosives in the cave. If a chain explosion occurs, evacuating the crowd further away can at least reduce the harm.”
Hearing this, A Qi's eyes widened: “What do you mean!?”
He walked up to Xiao Ting, his voice a little stern, but before he could speak, Xiao Ting said: “Kang Team, this is the only way now. If it's not directional blasting, I can't think of any other way to open the cave entrance without affecting the mountain.”
“Blasting is ultimately somewhat dangerous.”
“I know what I'm doing.”
A Qi was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, patted Xiao Ting's shoulder, and said: “Good luck.”
Xiao Ting nodded, adjusted the strap of his tool bag, and walked towards the cave entrance.
…
Inside the cave.
After Xiao Xiao finished saying “Thank you,” she fell silent.
Her breathing gradually stabilized, and she never mentioned anything like “You are Su Yue” again.
After all, she couldn't even see his appearance now, so how could she confirm that he was Su Yue?
Although Xiao Xiao no longer brought up the matter, she did not give up the idea in her heart.
Although the darkness was terrifying, in the darkness, “Yang Qing's” voice gave her a strong sense of déjà vu of “Fu Qiyang.”
Recalling the calmness and disdain that Fu Qiyang showed after the interrogation, as if he knew everything, it was so similar to Yang Qing's performance at the moment.
As she gradually woke up from her daze, she chose to remain silent.
Because at this moment, confirming his identity was meaningless.
As Yang Qing said, as long as he could get out, he would definitely be arrested.
Once arrested, everything would naturally become clear.
If they couldn't get out, what was the point of these speculations?
She leaned against the wall, feeling her eyelids heavy.
After all, she didn't rest well last night, plus the shock just now, fatigue swept over her.
Soon, she fell asleep again.
Su Yue listened to Xiao Xiao's breathing gradually stabilize and tentatively called out twice.
No response.
He knew she was asleep again.
Based on the time, if rescue was being prepared outside, there should already be some movement by now.
He stood up, took out his phone, and checked the time.
12:33.
…
12:33, outside the cave.
Xiao Ting was drilling holes in the boulder with an electric drill.
Beside him lay the plan drawings, held down by stones.
Many of the onlookers had dispersed.
But there were still some brave ones who stayed, especially the reporters.
Liu Yuting, a reporter from Lantian TV Station, stood with her back to the mountainside, holding a microphone, preparing to record a live report.
“Hello, viewers and friends, this is Liu Yuting, a reporter from Lantian TV Station.”
“We are currently at the foot of Lingtian Mountain. As you can see, on the mountainside…”
The cameraman turned the camera to the mountainside.
“On the mountainside are the comrades from our Lantian City Municipal Bureau, who are busily preparing for the rescue work.”
“Due to a confidential case, Captain Xiao Xiao of the Economic Investigation Detachment of the Lantian Municipal Bureau is trapped in the cave.”
“The mountain conditions are complex now. Please cheer for them together, and hope that Comrade Xiao Xiao can be rescued successfully.”
After she finished these brief words, she immediately took the cameraman and quickly withdrew down the mountain.
At this time, hundreds of thousands of people in Lantian knew about this matter, and a wave of blessings was set off on Weibo.
【May Xiao Xiao return safely.】
【Hope the Officers fighting on the front line can be safe and sound.】
People were paying attention to the situation on Lingtian Mountain.
However, they did not know, and even the reporters did not know, how dangerous the cave entrance was.
Enough explosives to blow up the entire cave were still inside. If there was a slight mistake, they would witness a huge explosion…
Xiao Ting was ready for the first round of blasting.
After burying the explosives, he checked the drawing under the stone again, confirmed that it was correct, and then quickly left the scene.
In fact, he was also very nervous. Although this was the plan he proposed, and it might even be the only solution, Xiao Xiao's life was now in his hands, and the pressure brought by this responsibility was immense.
However, Xiao Ting was mentally prepared. No matter what, the person must be saved. If he was afraid of taking responsibility, he would not have proposed this plan.
“First round of blasting preparation!”
He loudly reminded all parties present. Although everyone had maintained a safe distance, it was always right to follow the procedure.
“Three!”
“Two!”
“One!”
Boom!
A deafening explosion sounded!
A large amount of smoke, dust, and rubble spewed out from the blast site!
Due to directional blasting, the rubble was ejected further!
Those brave people who stayed at the scene were also terrified when they saw this scene. To save their lives, they left Lingtian Mountain one after another.
A few minutes later, the dust settled.
Looking at the scene before him, Xiao Ting let out a long sigh of relief.
The first round of blasting was as he expected, blowing away the outer layer of rubble. The next step was the more challenging inner layer of rubble.
…
Inside the cave.
Boom!
The huge explosion echoed in the cave, and Su Yue had to cover his ears.
This bone-shaking sound was unbearable, but it also indicated that rescue had begun outside.
