Inside the live broadcast room of the Tenth Military Academy, the scene unfolding was one of widespread collapse. The director’s office, upon witnessing this, quickly shifted the camera to focus on the sky.
The Tenth Military Academy’s own live broadcast audience was not large, but recently, many other broadcast rooms had directed their viewers to watch the Tenth Military Academy. As a result, the Tenth Military Academy’s live broadcast room saw a surge in viewers, climbing to become number one in terms of audience count.
When the camera was redirected, the viewers found it difficult to bear.
They had witnessed the scene firsthand. They knew clearly that this was a live broadcast, not a TV series or a movie; it was a reality.
“Go save them!”
“Where are the rescue workers? Save these military students!”
The fans of the Tenth Military Academy were deeply fond of these military students. Even those who were not fans of the Tenth Military Academy were now shouting for rescue. After watching the broadcast for so long, they had become familiar with the students from every military academy.
Witnessing them being buried alive, how could they not be anxious!
At this moment, the aircraft from the Tenth Military Academy also arrived overhead. However, the situation was such that if the rescue workers descended, they too would be buried here.
Meanwhile, the Fourth Military Academy had left earlier and was now out of danger. However, the mine was still prone to accidents at any moment, so the organizers decided to evacuate all the military students from the competition venue!
Therefore, the people from the Fourth Military Academy were taken out of the competition venue by aircraft.
Aircraft from other military academies were also moving towards the locations of the military students, preparing to evacuate them.
“Fortunately, the other military academies are fine. This competition is too dangerous! How did the organizers choose this venue!”
“Natural disasters can be predicted. What about the preliminary inspection work!”
Everyone knew that the five students from the Tenth Military Academy were in grave danger. Their indignation was channeled into criticizing the organizers.
Outside the competition venue, some people were also in a state of distress.
“What happened?” Chen Shan hadn't expected that he would just step out of the competition venue to increase his fame, only for something like this to occur!
“A mine that has been abandoned for a long time, and for years nothing has happened. Why did it have to be a problem during the competition!”
Chen Shan complained to his friend, feeling incredibly unlucky.
The person Chen Shan was questioning was also sweating profusely, feeling quite guilty. Before the competition, they had predicted an earthquake, but they hadn't anticipated the magnitude of it.
If the military students were buried, he couldn’t bear the responsibility.
This person could only say to Chen Shan, “Boss, I’m not sure. It’s all managed by the subordinates.”
At this point, he had no choice but to shift the blame!
Here, this group of people began to push responsibility onto each other, until the burden finally fell upon the anxious minor figure at the front of the venue. This minor figure also wanted to cry and die. He had spoken up! But his superior had said it was fine, what could he do! He truly had no way to defend himself.
“It’s fortunate that many military academies were eliminated in the past two days. Being eliminated meant they were no longer in danger.”
“What’s going on with the Imperial Military Academy! Why haven’t the aircraft arrived yet!”
At this moment, the Imperial Military Academy was also facing the problem of ground collapse, but the rescue aircraft had not yet arrived.
“The Tenth Military Academy’s aircraft is also delayed. As a result, people are now buried underground, with little hope. What are this year’s rescue workers doing! Is this job so easy? Are they just letting you idle around the competition venue!”
The Imperial Military Academy had the most fans in this league. Moreover, Meng Huai was widely recognized as the strongest individual participant this year.
Furthermore, her strength was not lower than that of individuals already serving in various military regions. At this moment, everyone felt that Meng Huai was only lacking experience.
If such a person were to perish here, it would be a loss for so many people!
At this time, the pilot of the Imperial Military Academy’s rescue aircraft was also anxious. The command center was constantly transmitting messages, urging him to quickly take the rescue workers to pick up the people.
But the Imperial Military Academy was very close by. The problem was that the collapsed area had surrounded the Imperial Military Academy’s location, leaving him nowhere to land.
Despite the advancements in technology, it had not yet reached the point where aircraft could “suck” people up from the air.
“Find a way!”
An exasperated voice came from the command center, but the rescue workers here could only watch as the collapsed area continued to shrink, eventually engulfing the entire Imperial Military Academy.
The five people from the Imperial Military Academy gathered together, truly having nowhere to escape. Their location was like a closing circle of poison, gradually constricting them with no way out.
“The aircraft is over there!”
At this moment, Rong Feiwen looked up and saw the aircraft hovering above them. But he quickly realized, “It seems there’s no place to land.”
What was the feeling at this moment? Hope was clearly within reach, yet it was impossible to touch.
Meng Huai looked at the aircraft in the sky, took out a sword, and threw it onto the ground: “I’ll carry you up.”
However, a sword could carry at most two people. “Should I take the commander and the mecha pilot onto the aircraft first?”
“Then hurry!” Hui Xingxiu urged, not in the sense of coming to pick them up quickly, but rather to quickly carry Zheng Yiran and Rong Feiwen to safety. As for whether he could be rescued, he couldn’t think of that much at the moment.
Jing Yuancheng also said, “I have no objections. We individual combatants have the ability to protect ourselves.”
Zheng Yiran, as the commander, had many things to consider. She knew that this was not the time to argue about who went first; it might delay precious time.
Rong Feiwen also understood Zheng Yiran’s meaning. Both of them hoped they could be the second group. But at this moment, they didn’t even have time to argue, so he silently stood on the sword, hoping that Meng Huai would still have time to pick up Jing Yuancheng and the other two later.
Seeing that both had taken their positions, Meng Huai directly controlled the sword and took off. Flying with a sword was an elementary spell, one that she was intimately familiar with.
Seeing this scene, the rescue workers on the aircraft quickly said, “Open the cabin door, open the cabin door! They’re flying up!”
Weren’t they flying indeed?
Every time this scene was witnessed, it was astonishing. The pilot quickly opened the cabin door. Meng Huai placed Zheng Yiran and Rong Feiwen onto the aircraft and then flew away again, stepping on the sword.
When Meng Huai landed, she had a bad premonition. She quickly urged, “Quick!”
However, before Jing Yuancheng and Hui Xingxiu could even stabilize themselves, the ground beneath them directly collapsed.
“Ah!!!!!!!!”
“No!”
All the viewers were anxiously waiting for Meng Huai and the other two to take off as they had just done, but the ground beneath them was sinking deeper.
The area where cracks had appeared had not yet spread to the center, but the center had collapsed first.
The last scene people saw was all three of them falling together.
