Depressed.

Extremely depressing.

The scene was quiet and no one spoke. Fire Brigade As soon as the car stopped on the shore, seven or eight people got out immediately. Three of them had already put on diving suits and hooked up oxygen in the car, and they were obviously ready.

Wan Fanglei scolded, "You can't come when I need you! What do I need you to do!"

A cadre from the Public Security Bureau said angrily, "Why are you here! How long has this been going on? See for yourselves!" The Power of Time and Wealth 1031

The Fire Brigade member who took the lead hurriedly explained, "Everyone just got to work, and there was a delay in temporarily preparing rescue equipment."

A deputy mayor in charge also said angrily, "Ten minutes have passed! Everyone... what's the use of you coming now? Huh?"

It was ten minutes since Dong Xuebin went into the water, and twenty minutes had passed since the incident. The rescuers arrived, and it was indeed a bit slow. The seven or eight people at Fire Brigade also understood in their hearts. What's more, the municipal party committee secretary and mayor and other Fenzhou City city leaders were present, and they did not dare to refute anything.

Dong Xuebin is dead!

It's too late to say anything now!

These city leaders stopped scolding them, and all of them looked bad.

Suddenly, Xie Huilan went crazy and said to these Fire Brigade members, "What are you looking at! Go down and save people!"

Upon hearing Mayor Xie's words, Zhong Zhengwei immediately said, "Don't say anything! Rescue the people first!"

Xie Huilan used the word "rescue", indicating that there was still hope, and Zhong Zhengwei used the word "salvage", which must have meant that Dong Xuebin and the little boy were still two corpses even if they were rescued.

The three Fire Brigade members who put on diving suits immediately entered the water.

A Fire Brigade team leader on the shore immediately found a familiar Public Security Bureau cadre, "Old Chen, what's going on at the scene? How many people are there underwater?"

Old Chen sighed. "Just Director Dong and a boy."

The team leader was stunned, "Only two? We received news... it was the first one?"

Old Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Director Dong rescued them all. But when he went to rescue the boy again... he never came up again, even for ten minutes!"

The team leader gasped. "Director Dong, is it Dong Xuebin Director Dong?"

"It's not him or anyone else."

"But wasn't he seriously injured the day before yesterday?"

"Director Dong went in with injuries. There were dozens of wounds. I looked at them..." Old Chen couldn't continue, his eye circles were a little red. Dong Xuebin's actions today really impressed many people. Ask yourself, facing the common people, none of them can achieve the level of Dong Xuebin. It's ridiculous that the family members of these ordinary people beat Dong Xuebin the day before yesterday, and it's ridiculous that they yelled at Dong Xuebin this morning, but how did Director Dong repay them? Regardless of the past grievances, he still went into the water to save people without hesitation! He even risked his own life! Corrupt officials? Now thinking about the people who cursed Director Dong, Lao Chen felt that these words were really ridiculous!

Several Fire Brigade members heard it. They all looked at each other in shock.  The Power of Time and Wealth 1031

Then a Fire Brigade member who was in the water was the first to surface. The shock is even stronger!

The Fire Brigade member wearing a diving suit was dragged up by another team member. It took a long time to push him to the ice. The man was panting and trembling with cold. After only a few dozen seconds, he could no longer hold on. Only the other two team members were left to continue the underwater search and rescue.

"Xiao Wang!"

"Xiao Wang How are you?"

All the team members next to him stepped forward to greet him.

Xiao Wang was lying on the ice and was pulled to the shore, and then he could talk. "The water... is too cold."

The team leader felt very embarrassed and couldn't help but said angrily, "Aren't you wearing a diving suit?"

Xiao Wang said in pain, "The air-conditioning penetrates into my flesh and I can't stop it. It's at least a few degrees below zero. I just got into the water and my thighs cramped up!"

Many people nearby looked at Fire Brigade.

The team leader took a breath, "Substitute! Go down again!"

Xiao Wang said, "I'm sorry, but the water temperature is really..."

"I understand, don't be sorry!" The team leader asked someone to carry him away.

This time. Everyone present knew what kind of state Dong Xuebin was in when he got wet, and how much perseverance Dong Xuebin had to endure. Even the Fire Brigade professional underwater rescuers and the Rescue Team crew members wearing diving suits and carrying oxygen could not stay in the water for just tens of seconds, while Dong Xuebin went back and forth four or five times. Rescued seven or eight people from icy water back and forth?

What is this gap?

What kind of willpower is this??

Luo Haiting couldn't help it anymore. He walked up and said anxiously to the team leader, "How is Director Dong? Is there any hope? Is it still possible..."

Liu Hanqing suppressed his anger and said, "There must be hope, right?"

Hearing this, many people looked over and were waiting for a reply from professionals. Although they already knew what was going on, many people still refused to give up.

The leader of Fire Brigade's expression was stagnant, he looked at them apologetically and said, "We can only say that we will try our best."

He Suien frowned suddenly, "What do you mean by trying your best? Just tell me! Director Dong What's the hope of surviving?"

The team leader hesitated for a moment and said truthfully, "For ordinary people, even in ordinary warm water, it is impossible to last for three minutes, ten minutes... let alone this kind of ice water, not to mention normal people, even professionally trained people, even wearing thermal clothing... there is still a slight possibility in five minutes, but ten minutes, now it is more than ten minutes..." After a pause in his voice, the leader said, "Director Dong must have been killed. Sorry, we can only do our best to salvage him now." If the people asked him, he would say tactfully and tell them that he would try his best to rescue him, but with so many city leaders present looking at him, the team leader had no choice but to hide it. It was impossible for anyone to survive in this situation, not even a god like Dong Xuebin.

In distress?  The Power of Time and Wealth 1031

Dong Xuebin is really dead??

Luo Haiting's feet softened and he sat on the embankment.

There were also people around who covered their mouths and cried!

Fire Brigade has to deal with this kind of rescue incidents many times every year. They must be professionals. Since they have given this conclusion, they are definitely not wrong. No one had mentioned it before, but now that the team leader said it, many people became excited.

However, the person who seemed the calmest at the scene was actually Dong Xuebin's lover Xie Huilan.

I saw Xie Huilan staring at the team leader with squinted eyes and saying, "If he died so easily! He wouldn't be called Dong Xuebin anymore! Don't mention salvage to me again! Rescue me with all your strength as quickly as possible! He must still be alive! Even if he is dead! I still want to see people dead and corpses!"

The team leader immediately said, "Mayor Xie, don't worry, if I call people down again, I will definitely find Director Dong!"

Immediately, two more Fire Brigade members put on diving suits and went into the water to search for people!

Many people looked at Xie Huilan and didn't feel like saying anything at this time.

Another minute has passed!

A member of Fire Brigade stuck his head out from the water and shook his head at everyone under everyone's gaze, indicating that he still couldn't find anyone.

Xie Huilan stood there motionless, "Keep looking for me!"

After saying that, Xie Huilan swayed a little and leaned against a car.

A female cadre from the city government next to her quickly supported her, "Mayor Xie Are you okay?"

Zhong Zhengwei immediately said, "Mayor Xie, go to the car and rest for a while! You can't do this!"

"Yes Mayor Xie." A cadre next to him said, "You are still pregnant. Get to the car quickly. It's cold outside!"

"I'm fine!" Xie Huilan, however, held on to the car and straightened his body, shook off the hand of the female cadre next to him, and continued to stare at the ice with his eyes!

One second...

Ten seconds...

Twenty seconds...

It has been more than eleven minutes since Dong Xuebin was launched into the water!

Although they knew that Dong Xuebin had died, many city leaders still did not leave. After all, the impact of the incident was great, and they would definitely stay until the moment Dong Xuebin's body was recovered. Gradually, more and more people have accepted the fact that Dong Xuebin is dead.

People from Fire Brigade also came ashore one by one.

"Report, not found."

"I didn't find it here either."

"Maybe, maybe it drifted to other places."

Their bodies couldn't hold on anymore, it was too cold.

The leader of Fire Brigade said, "Change the group of people! Keep looking! Until you find them!"

On Fire Truck, the people who had changed out of their clothes were all wrapped in blankets and shivering. It only took less than two minutes for them to freeze to death. You can imagine the temperature of the water underneath.

Director Dong is dead!

Can't even find the body now??

Many people shed tears again when they thought of this.

"Director Dong!"

"How could this happen!"

"The director is only twenty-five years old!"

"God, can you open your eyes?"

Crying is contagious, and more and more people wiped their tears together. For doing this for the common people, no one now thinks that Dong Xuebin is a corrupt official. Some of the relatives whose families were just saved by Dong Xuebin are even more ashamed. They are the ones who feel most sorry for Dong Xuebin, and they cry the loudest!

"Director Dong!"

"Good people don't live long! What kind of world is this?"

Many cadres also felt a little sad, and their eyes felt a little hot.

But just when everyone was lamenting and crying for Dong Xuebin's sacrifice, there was suddenly some movement on the ice far away on the right.

Boom!

Boom!

"Hey! What's the sound?"

"Who's knocking something?"

"I heard it too? What's going on?"

Several Fire Brigade members near the shore were stunned for a moment, and then all looked towards an ice layer more than ten meters away on the side.

Immediately, under everyone's stunned gaze, the ice layer crackled!

It broke!

The ice flew up from the water, bringing with it a string of water drops!

Many people were startled and looked in that direction!

What's going on? Ice flying up from below? Is there anyone down there? Someone cracked the ice? Why did the people from Fire Brigade travel so far?? (To be continued...
