The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 88 Collapse
Building city defenses is definitely a boring job, but with more people and more strength, almost half of it has been completed in just half a month. Everyone is very happy. If we follow this speed, it will be completed in less than a month.

Tao Zhen is also used to this kind of life. She gets along well with Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu likes Tao Zhen very much and thinks she can endure hardships. She is not at all as delicate as Miss Qianjin, and he also takes good care of her.

Tao Zhen was still thinking that she and Pei Zhan had a lot of wages this time. They went back to buy something. No one expected that something unexpected would happen.

Tao Zhen and Mrs. Liu had just finished steaming a pot of steamed buns when Wang San hurried in and said, "Aunt Liu, Tao Zhen... something happened..."

Both women were stunned for a moment and asked Wang San to speak slowly. Wang San gasped for breath and finally calmed down before saying: "There was a landslide, they... they were buried..."

Wang San's voice was filled with tears.

Tao Zhen and Liu hurriedly ran out. The place where they were cooking was some distance from the construction site. When Tao Zhen and Liu arrived, they only saw a large section of the city wall that had collapsed, and there was still dust that had not dispersed...

There was a circle of people around, talking about something. Tao Zhen saw Huo Xing at a glance. She ran over, panting and asked: "Huo... Master Huo, what's wrong with Pei Zhan?"

There was a tremor in her voice that she didn't even notice.

Huo Xing pulled her aside and said, "Don't worry, we are working on a solution."

Tao Zhen's face was pale, and it was hard to say anything in a hurry: "Okay... hurry up... think of a way..."

Pei Zhan cannot die.

This is something Tao Zhen has known since he traveled through time.

He is the backbone of the Pei family, and he must not die.

Huo Xing was called away. Tao Zhen and Liu stood together, looking at the collapsed city wall, silent, their fingers tightly clasped, as if they could draw that pitiful feeling from each other. hope.

The army has begun to organize rescue operations. There are five or six people who went to the exile village this time, and the rest are engineers. The reason why the army is so anxious is because one of these engineers is Chang Qingchang.

Search and rescue is very difficult. The city wall has collapsed seriously and is covered by huge rocks. A slight mistake will cause a second landslide.

Tao Zhen was extremely flustered, but she and Liu could do nothing and could only stand aside and watch.It was cold and freezing, and the time passed by minute by second, but the progress was very slow. Seeing that it was getting dark, someone finally shouted, saying that they had found someone.

The torches were not bright enough, and Tao Zhen only saw a few dusty people being carried out.

"died!"

Five people died.

When she heard that the people were dead, Tao Zhen calmed down. She felt a little numb. She walked over numbly and saw the faces of those people clearly. They were all very young faces, wearing the military uniforms of the Dashun Dynasty.

Not Pei Zhan, nor Li Hui.

Tao Zhen was not touched by the dead people in front of her. She didn't know these people. Pei Zhan's life or death was uncertain, so she had no time to worry about others.

Mrs. Liu also breathed a sigh of relief. She must also be thinking, luckily it's not Li Hui.

Excavation was particularly difficult at night. The light was not good at night and the temperature was also very low. Others did not say it, but it was obvious that they were ready to give up.

Tao Zhen didn't want to give up. She had a feeling that Pei Zhan was not dead.

"Why did they leave?" Mrs. Liu looked at the exit and asked blankly.

Tao Zhen was speechless and looked at Huo Xing.

As a member of the Inspection Department, Huo Xing had actually fulfilled his obligations. The army had given up, believing that it was impossible for people under such a landslide to survive.There is no point in digging further, and since they are all prisoners in the exile village, they are dead when they are dead. There is no need to waste manpower to find them.

"They are from the exile village, and the Audit Department will not give up on them." Huo Xing said this, but his face was full of fatigue.

The people from the Inspection Department had been digging for nearly a day, and their physical strength had reached the limit. Not to mention, the temperature in Ningzhou was very low at night. They were only at the end of their efforts, and many people had already complained.
