Zhuang Shuqing was shaken by the scene before her and couldn't snap back to reality for a long time.
She had seen disaster sites on TV before, feeling sad and sympathetic, but now...
A vast expanse of rubble where firefighters, soldiers, and numerous volunteers were at work. No houses were left, and even the temporarily erected tents were pitifully few.
"Sister-in-law, follow me."
Leng Yixing had, at some point, assigned tasks and came to her side.
Zhuang Shuqing replied, refocused her thoughts, and followed behind him. As they walked towards the center of the rubble, occasionally the sound of someone's anguished cries could be heard; she lowered her eyelids, listening intently for any sounds from beneath the ruins.
"If you hear any cries for help, you must tell us immediately. We cannot miss any lives."
