The rescue team ignored Teacher Wang and the others, but after hearing the rescue plan reported by the rescue team to Marshal Meng, Teacher Wang and the others also helped from the side.
They were not ordinary people, they just hadn't participated in rescue work before. But after hearing the rescue plan and procedures, these people became engaged, finding things to do themselves.
After three days of rescue, there was clearly a discovery.
"Over here!"
The collapse was instantaneous, but the excavation took three full days with little progress.
A member of the rescue team shouted, holding something up, "Captain! We found something here."
However, the first to run over was not the captain of the rescue team, but Xie Xue, who was very close to this team member. Xie Xue ran over within two seconds of hearing it.
"What is it, what is it? What did you find?"
Xie Xue said a string of words, but the team member ignored him, still focused on organizing what he had found.
The captain arrived slowly and also asked, "Anything found?"
The team member then showed the organized item to the captain of the rescue team: "This should be the camera from back then, it went into the collapsed cave with everything else. It seems the place we are excavating is correct!"
This team member was very excited. This discovery validated that their three days of work were not in vain, indicating that their excavation site was not off track.
Teacher Wang also walked over at this point and saw the discovery that had made this rescue team member so excited – it was just that camera.
He had rewatched the last few minutes of the live broadcast repeatedly these past two days. If he remembered correctly, the camera lost signal before capturing anything significant.
Based on this, the item shouldn't have been buried too deep!
If that were the case, the three students should be buried even deeper. Three days to find the camera, was that something to be happy about?!
Upon receiving this news, Teacher Wang became even more anxious. Xie Xue and the others also felt no joy, and all of them returned to their work.
Two more days passed, and Xie You returned to Imperial Capital Star. When he arrived at the military camp, he overheard a conversation between two young soldiers.
"Is there any news about those three students yet?"
"It's said that Marshal Meng has taken people to rescue them, but they haven't reached the bottom yet! To be honest, I fear the worst."
The two soldiers were whispering, unaware that Xie You was not far behind them. But the two continued their discussion, becoming more animated.
"Marshal Meng is going to rescue them? Why is he going to that area? It's not related to him at all!"
"Marshal Meng values talent, perhaps? It is said that Marshal Meng personally went to the Imperial Military Academy to invite the student named Meng Huai, but he was ignored! Students nowadays are so arrogant, only freshmen, yet they don't even pay attention to Marshal Meng and the First Military Region."
"Who says otherwise! But alas, this person is probably going to lose his life! What's the use of great potential? Isn't he still buried? Earthquakes, no one can escape them. If you're unlucky, even drinking water will get stuck in your throat."
Xie You hadn't intended to listen to their conversation, but he happened to pass by. However, after hearing what these two soldiers said, Xie You learned that Meng Huai was in trouble.
To confirm, Xie You patted a soldier walking in front of him. The soldier turned around, only to find it was Xie You!
"Your... Your Royal Highness!"
Xie You directly asked, "What were you just talking about? Explain it in detail."
To avoid mishearing or misunderstanding something, Xie You directly asked the two soldiers to explain.
The soldiers were flustered. Chatting about gossip during their idle time, they were overheard by him. But since His Royal Highness had asked, the two soldiers truthfully replied.
"That's how it is, Your Royal Highness. The military academy league a week ago was held at an abandoned mine on Flower Jade Star. During the competition, there was an earthquake, and many students were buried underground."
Another soldier quickly added, "Yes, I heard that a rescue team went to rescue them. But five days have passed, and there's been no news. I fear the worst!"
Xie You then asked, "Then the Imperial Military Academy you mentioned? Were any students buried?"
One of the soldiers rushed to answer, "Yes, Your Royal Highness. All three individual soldiers from the Imperial Military Academy were buried. Only the commander and the mecha pilot were saved by the individual soldier named Meng Huai. When they went back to rescue the other two individual soldiers, all three of them were buried!"
Xie You left with a sentence, "I understand," and hurried away.
He didn't know what the situation was that required Meng Huai to rescue others from the Imperial Military Academy. And why were the three individual soldiers buried in the competition venue, with no news after five days.
"What are the rescue teams doing!"
In his haste, Xie You complained about the rescue team members. He suspected that the rescue team wasn't giving their all. However, since he wasn't there, he couldn't make such a judgment. Therefore, he knew he had spoken rashly and impulsively without confirmation.
Xie You directly contacted Xie Zhanzhe, "Father, can I borrow your rescue team?"
Xie You thought he had hidden his emotions well, but Xie Zhanzhe still detected his son's anxiety. And borrowing the rescue team, that unit was one of his personal guards. Under normal circumstances, Xie You wouldn't borrow it, as he was usually very careful about such matters.
Although they didn't suspect each other, and Xie Zhanzhe couldn't wait for Xie You to take his place! But Xie You didn't think that way. He wouldn't even touch some of his father's personal guards. Today, he was just desperate.
After all, that rescue team was the most professional of professionals, and they were the most capable in such situations.
Xie Zhanzhe remained calm and asked casually, "Rescue team? I'll tell Gao Fei, and you can go find him directly! But what do you need the rescue team for?"
Gao Fei was the captain of Xie Zhanzhe's exclusive rescue team.
Xie You directly told Xie Zhanzhe, "I heard that students from the Imperial Military Academy are trapped in the competition venue. After five days, the rescue team there hasn't found anything. I plan to go and take a look with Gao Fei and his team."
Listening to his son, Xie Zhanzhe became even more perplexed: "Imperial Military Academy?"
How did it get involved with students from the Imperial Military Academy? "I've also heard about this matter. Marshal Meng is there. Why? Are there any people buried from the Imperial Military Academy that you know?"
"I've seen those three individual soldiers. One of them, Meng Huai, is the one who repaired my perception potion. Now that she is in crisis, of course, I have to go save her."
Xie You felt that he was already a bit late in getting this news, but this trip was necessary. Fearing that Xie Zhanzhe might not lend him the rescue team, Xie You directly revealed Meng Huai's identity.
