Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute

Chapter 72: Chapter 072: A Life at Stake, Disaster Upon Disaster

Su Shu hadn’t heard clearly when, beside Grandpa Peng’s stretcher, with a thud, a woman in her forties knelt down.

“Grandpa Peng, stop digging! Stop digging! My father has already passed away, let him go, you need to take care of your own health! Grandpa, you’ve already saved Little Shuanzi, that’s enough, really, it’s too dangerous over there, don’t go!”

The bystanders, unable to bear listening, turned their heads away, their eyes reddening.

Su Shu, holding the disinfectant, stood nearby, feeling distressed; in Peng Village, someone had died.

Grandpa Peng struggled to sit up, and upon hearing this, cursed angrily: “Nonsense! Shuanzi’s dad is still alive! I need to save him, he’s waiting for me, his old buddy, to save him.”

“Grandpa, don’t move, your leg is injured.”

“Nonsense, what injury do I have, don’t stop me! I’m going to dig old Shuan out!!!” Grandpa Peng was trembling with anger, why was everyone stopping him? Old Shuan was still hanging on; he needed to go!

“Grandpa Peng, please take care of yourself, I’m begging you!” That sister-in-law, pulling her son who had been rescued, knelt down to kowtow to Grandpa Peng.

As she was bowing, someone noticed she was bleeding from below and exclaimed, “Shuanzi’s family, you’re bleeding!”

The village doctor hurried over, checking Shuanzi’s daughter-in-law, his expression gradually turning solemn; Su Shu also grew nervous.

“This is bad, she’s having a miscarriage! The bleeding won’t stop; she needs to be taken to the town hospital!” the village doctor urgently said.

What should be done now?

Given the current situation in the village, the village doctor couldn’t treat her, and the safety of the journey to the town was uncertain. It was unknown if Shuanzi’s daughter-in-law could even endure the trip, and even if she could, with the way she was bleeding, the prognosis was grim.

The village doctor used every possible method, but still felt that they must immediately send her out; otherwise, her life was in imminent danger.

There were three vehicles in the village now, a truck, one owned by Su Shu, and another driven by Tang Zelin.

Su Shu said, “I’ll drive her out; you stay here.”

The village doctor nodded, “That’s fine. I’ve given her an injection that I hope can slow the bleeding, she should last a while on the road, but be extremely careful on the way to town.”

Lives were at stake, Su Shu went to start the vehicle and drove it over, and with everyone’s help, they lifted Shuanzi’s daughter-in-law into the car, and for safety’s sake, they also sent a strong young man to accompany them.

In the afternoon, everyone’s emotions had been fairly stable, but by evening, news of casualties came one after another, and under the night, people started to feel restless.

Just as Su Shu was starting the car and preparing to leave, suddenly two people came running up frantically, their faces filled with extreme anxiety when they saw Feng Hua and Grandpa Peng.

“Grandpa, our road has been blocked by the mountain that collapsed!”

“What?!”

The road was blocked?!!!

Grandpa Peng was shocked, using the arms of the person next to him to struggle to his feet, and grabbing the collar of the other person he shouted, “You repeat that, where is it blocked? How is it blocked?”

“It’s our village’s main road, right at Wan Gully, the mountainside along the road collapsed, there’s absolutely no way out, the village doctor told us to see if we could get some emergency medicine from town, but we got blocked on the way to Wan Gully, what should we do? If we can’t get out, can outsiders come in to save us?” the two young men said, crying.

Su Shu sat in the driver’s seat, her heart sinking.

The road was completely blocked; there was no way the car could get out; what should be done about the Shuanzi’s daughter-in-law lying in the backseat? And the people in the village, what should be done about them?

She and Xiao’ai, were they going to be trapped here?

Suddenly, Su Shu felt some panic, as the unplanned events starting to give her a profound sense of crisis.

She turned her head to look out the car window at Xiao’ai, who was being quietly held in Douzi’s arms, looking back at her, what should she do?
