Chapter 30: Rescuing the Workers

"Explode!"

After Hu Ke'er safely hid behind him, Chen Tianyi quickly detonated the explosive talisman.

"Bang!"

With a deafening explosion, the wall in front of them "clattered" and a huge hole was blown out.

"Someone's coming!"

"Run! There's an exit!"

"..."

As the explosive talisman blew a hole, extremely excited voices came from the spirit stone refining room. Before long, several figures ran out.

"What are you..."

Hu Ke'er exclaimed in surprise when she saw several people running out of the spirit stone refining room.

"We're the workers who were refining spirit stones here before. We don't know what happened, but the spirit stone refining room suddenly collapsed and buried us all inside!"

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Hu Ke'er showed a surprised expression.

"Didn't anyone come to rescue you after you were buried alive?"

"No."

The other person shook his head and said pitifully.

"This matter should have been taken care of by Supervisor Zhao, but how could he care about our lives..."

After saying that, the worker directly knelt down with a "plop".

"Oh no, what are you doing?"

Seeing this, Hu Ke'er subconsciously took a step back.

"Could you... help me?"

"Help you with what?"

Seeing the worker in this state, Hu Ke'er, as a girl, was still a bit scared.

"There are still many fellow workers inside. Many of them are injured and can't get out on their own. Could you please help them, miss?"

"This..."

Hu Ke'er didn't know what to do and then looked at Chen Tianyi, who was standing in front of her.

"It goes without saying, little junior sister. Let's save the people first!"

"Okay!"

Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, the corners of Hu Ke'er's mouth curled up slightly. However, it seemed that she couldn't do much in this situation. Maybe the only thing she could use was the first - aid skills she had learned in school and at the company!

"The two of us definitely aren't enough. Senior brother, go find some more people to help. I'll also try to make something to help these workers."

"Okay!"

Chen Tianyi nodded, and then they started to act separately. Chen Tianyi went to the Flying Tiger Hall again and called a large group of senior and junior brothers and sisters who had just finished their morning practice. Hu Ke'er found the little blacksmith and asked him to quickly make several flatbed carts and stretchers. Then the two rushed back to the yuan stone vein like the wind.

When Hu Ke'er and the little blacksmith returned with the flatbed carts and stretchers, Chen Tianyi had already led a large group of senior and junior brothers and sisters in the tense rescue work.

As more and more workers were carried out, Hu Ke'er felt a bit more at ease. But she also couldn't help scolding Supervisor Zhao in her heart.

"What kind of senior uncle Zhao is he! Such a serious collapse accident happened, and he didn't even try to save the people. It's too much!"

"Exactly! That guy surnamed Zhao is too much. We've been working so hard for him. Now that the spirit stone refining room has collapsed, he doesn't care about our lives at all!"

The worker lying on the stretcher echoed when he heard Hu Ke'er's scolding.

"Fortunately, I've reached the late stage of body - refining. I can last for a few months without eating or drinking. Otherwise, I might have starved to death a few days ago!"

"Really?"

Hearing the worker's words, Hu Ke'er opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Do you mean you've been trapped here for many days?"

"Yes."

The worker continued.

"Sister, you should know that workers like us can't be recorded on the sect's list. So even if a few of us are missing, no one will know. That guy surnamed Zhao probably thought we weren't important, so he didn't come to rescue us!"

"How could this be!"

Hearing the worker's words, Hu Ke'er was extremely angry!

It seemed that if she met Senior Uncle Zhao again in the future, she definitely couldn't be as polite as before!

She really couldn't get along well with someone who regarded human lives as worthless!

"Little junior sister?"

"Hmm?"

Hu Ke'er came back to her senses. Chen Tianyi was looking at her.

"What's up, senior brother?"

"Little junior sister, you don't have spiritual energy, and as a girl, your strength isn't very great either. Just take a stroll around and study how to improve the efficiency of spirit stone refining first?"

"Well, we have to wait until this place is almost repaired before refining spirit stones, right?"

Hu Ke'er asked rhetorically.

"Yes. Then, little junior sister, you'd better step back a bit. After all, this is a yuan stone mining area, and the roads aren't very good. You have to be more careful here!"

"Senior brother, let me help!"

For some reason, whether it was because her sympathy was overflowing or her sense of justice was on fire, Hu Ke'er actually actively asked Chen Tianyi for help.

"I'd like to let you help, but you have no spiritual energy and no strength. What can you do?"

After saying that, Chen Tianyi quickly turned around and rushed to help the injured again.

"Humph, don't think that just because I have no spiritual energy and little strength, I can't do anything! I'm quite good at taking care of the injured. After all, I've learned first - aid in school and at work!"

So Hu Ke'er didn't think much and directly ran to the treatment area for the injured and helped them with treatment.

"Okay, I'll count to one, and it'll be done. Get ready!"

"Okay."

"One!"

Hu Ke'er skipped three and two. Then, with a sudden force of her hand, there was a "click" sound, accompanied by a scream of "Waaaaaah".

"Well, your dislocated arm is okay now. Try it."

When the worker's scream subsided, Hu Ke'er gently reminded him.

"Wow! It's really okay!"

The worker clenched his fist and found that his hand had returned to normal. He was so happy that he jumped up from the sickbed.

"Thank you, doctor. If it weren't for you, my hand might have taken several more months to recover."

"You're welcome."

After saying that, Hu Ke'er raised the corners of her mouth and smiled. Then she went to another stretcher.

"Next, I'll put a splint on you~"

Hu Ke'er said to the patient in front of her with a smile, and then provided free treatment services to the workers within her ability according to the methods she had learned before.

"Ugh, I'm so tired!"

After working for a while, Hu Ke'er felt a bit exhausted. After all, she was just a girl, and the injuries of these workers weren't that simple. After rescuing more than a dozen workers, Hu Ke'er began to feel a bit overwhelmed.

Well, fortunately, I've learned first - aid before. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to help at all this time!

Hu Ke'er let out a sigh of relief and murmured.

If she managed the spirit stone refining room in the future, she must adopt an unmanned method. In this way, the safety of the workers could be better guaranteed!
