Chapter 896 It Has To Be Me

Ashlyn's voice was stained with sheer urgency.

Although the distance felt negligible right then, it would take time were they to go around the mountain to the other

side.

She had taken a look at the map previously and knew that a flash flood had broken out on the other side of the

mountain. In fact, they had initially planned on closing up that thirty-centimeter gap.

If they didn't do so, the intense water pressure would gradually rupture the crevice, leading to a massive flash

flood. Not only would the waters submerge all the villages below, but also the tents they built on the mountainside.

However, reality had proven that someone was behind the mountain.

If they were to circle over, the person would probably have long since perished, either swept away by the currents

or stopped breathing.

There was no time to lose.

Immediately, Lucas ordered, “Break the mountain wall and save him!”

“If we do so, Boss, what about those below the mountain and in the tents? Are we going to sacrifice everyone for

the sake of a single person?” Spencer asked anxiously, wiping the rain off his face.

Out of the blue, Cassandra charged over while brandishing a shovel. “Leave it to me! Making a gap of about sixty

centimeters will be enough. After that, we'll quickly block it again.”

With a bang, the shovel struck the rock and emitted a grating sound.

Compared with the mountain wall, the shovel was still too fragile at the end of the day, for it snapped.

As Spencer witnessed that, his lips inexorably twitched.

Uh... What kind of supernatural strength does she have? She looks sweet, but she's a bit too strong, isn't she?

Cassandra, who possessed supernatural strength, eyed the handle of the shovel in her hand in disappointment.

“What the hell? Is this for real? It split into two!”

Ashlyn cast her a glance. “Stop dragging your feet here. Didn't we bring a jaw crusher along? Hurry up and don't

waste time. Widen this gap, quick.”

A few men promptly ran over with a jaw crusher and aimed the sharp drill at the hard rock. In the next second, the

machine started whirring.

While observing the flow of the water, Lucas instructed a few men to take the rescued villagers someplace safe.

“They're very weak at the moment, so bring them back for treatment posthaste.”

“Understood!”

All the while, increasingly more water poured out from the crack that was growing all the wider.

Consequently, everyone there became wholly drenched.

When the fissure was wide enough, Lucas started squeezing himself through it.

Blocking the opening with his body, he headed toward the back of the mountain wall.

“Are you out of your mind, Lucas? Let me do it instead!” Ashlyn grabbed his arm, fixing her worried gaze on him.

“Are you trying to steal my credit? It has to be me doing this!” Pushing her away, Lucas continued moving inward.

“I'll do it, Mr. Nolan. I'll go!” Spencer argued in unadulterated apprehension.

“Why, you're all trying to steal my position and replace me?” Lucas arched a brow, radiating a chilly and oppressive

aura.

“This is a flash flood, Lucas!” Ashlyn's lovely eyes brimmed with worry. She didn't want anything to happen to the

man.

“We only have a few minutes, Honey. Be good and not make trouble for me!” All of a sudden, Lucas cradled her

head. He pressed a kiss on her forehead that was wet with rain before he continued forging ahead.

By then, the waters had already reached his waist. Slowly, his figure disappeared into the narrow gap in the

mountain wall.

Choking back tears, Spencer bellowed, “Listen up, any and all who are behind the mountain fissure! We're

proceeding with the rescue right now! Everyone is to walk out of the crack hand in hand! Do you hear me? The

space can only accommodate one person to pass sideways at a time! My employer will be the in the lead and take

your hand!”

Soon, a voice rang out from the other side of the mountain wall. “Yes... Yes, we hear you!”

Everyone began holding hands and squeezed out from the gap, one after another.

Time ticked by.

About a dozen people came out from the fissure between the mountain wall, children and the elderly included.

As the first person who paved the way, Lucas undoubtedly endured astronomical force from the rushing currents.

Yet, his feet remained planted in the water firmly, and he led individual after individual out.
