The entire building was collapsing downwards.
Clearly, it wouldn't be long before the whole structure came down.
They were on the top floor right now, so escaping was impossible!
Hearing the cries for help, Jiang Chen realized the building was collapsing.
He quickly used Flash Step to send Song Yiyi and Zhang Banxian to the playground outside the building.
At this moment, the entire school was in chaos.
Many students felt the building shaking precariously.
They rushed outwards in droves.
Some who didn't make it out in time were swallowed by the collapsing building.
On the playground, the cries of girls could be heard.
They were all terrified and had no idea what was happening.
What could cause a building with a 200-year construction history to collapse?
"Omniscience, what's going on?"
Jiang Chen didn't quite understand, so he asked.
"You destroyed the building's foundation with your Zanpakuto, that's why the building is collapsing!"
So, the people who didn't escape died because of him...
And Fatty, his Supernatural Ability is so weak, he didn't know if he escaped or not.
Thinking that Fatty might die, Jiang Chen found it hard to accept.
He didn't want things to turn out this way.
"It's not your fault, you didn't know that doing so would destroy the foundation."
"Besides, they are supernatural ability users, if they can't protect themselves, it's their own fault."
"What do you mean by that?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"I don't sense any death auras, so they are probably still alive."
Probably still alive...
Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Chen used his Spiritual Network to search for students trapped in the collapsing building.
After he finished searching, he asked Zhang Banxian, "Do you have any talismans that can penetrate walls?"
"I have many of those talismans, but their duration is very short, only ten seconds."
Ten seconds?
That should be enough!!!
Thinking this, Jiang Chen said to Zhang Banxian, "How do you use this? I need to go save people!"
"Uncle-Master, this collapse happened too suddenly, and it's already like this. You're saying there are survivors? How is that possible?"
Zhang Banxian looked disbelieving.
"Fatty's Supernatural Ability is so weak, he might not have escaped. I can't let Fatty die here without knowing why."
Speaking of Fatty, Zhang Banxian hadn't seen him after looking for a long time.
He didn't want Fatty to be in trouble either.
Their three years of friendship weren't for nothing.
The thought of Fatty being in trouble made Zhang Banxian say, "I'll help too!"
"Okay!"
"Do as I say!"
Jiang Chen pointed to several locations, telling Zhang Banxian that there were survivors inside.
Zhang Banxian then explained the usage of the Wall-Penetrating Talisman to Jiang Chen: "Uncle-Master, this talisman is very simple to use, just inject spiritual energy into it!"
Jiang Chen followed Zhang Banxian's instructions and directly penetrated into a pile of rubble.
Seeing Jiang Chen rush in, Song Yiyi instinctively tried to stop him.
It was already very dangerous inside the collapsing building, and no one knew if there would be a second collapse.
Jiang Chen rushing in now, who knew if it would be dangerous.
Looking at him, he was probably looking for survivors.
Even if he was going to look, he should have hired professionals to conduct the search.
It was too dangerous for him to go alone.
Just as Song Yiyi was about to call Jiang Chen back, Zhang Banxian also rushed in.
The students on the playground saw the two of them rush in and didn't quite understand. Were they stupid? They knew the building had already collapsed and was dangerous, yet they still rushed in.
Weren't they afraid they wouldn't be able to get out?
It wasn't until they saw Jiang Chen supporting an injured classmate out that...
Everyone finally understood. Jiang Chen had rushed in to save people.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
When faced with danger, their first thought was their own safety.
They didn't care about the lives of others.
But Jiang Chen, despite being in a safe situation himself, went to save someone he didn't even know.
This action made their own selfishness seem even more pronounced.
Yet, no one dared to follow Jiang Chen's example. They looked at the precarious building, unable to speak.
Except for Zhang Banxian.
Following Jiang Chen's instructions, Zhang Banxian used a Wall-Penetrating Talisman to rescue a classmate.
After putting her down, he prepared to go back in.
To see if he could find Fatty.
Just then, the classmate he had just rescued weakly said, "Can you save Weiwei? She's my best friend. When the building collapsed, neither of us got out."
The speaker was a girl, her voice very soft.
But Zhang Banxian still heard her.
He was going to save Fatty, not some unrelated stranger.
For this person he didn't know at all.
He truly felt powerless.
"Please, you saved me, you can definitely save Weiwei. In class, she's the only one who doesn't bully me and is willing to be my friend."
The girl said this, and started crying.
It was hard not to be moved.
But no one said anything.
Even Song Yiyi, who wanted to say something, didn't.
She also really wanted to go save people.
But she...
simply didn't have the courage.
To joke with her own life.
"Is this your friend Weiwei?"
At this moment, Jiang Chen came out carrying an unconscious girl and asked.
"I saw her school ID said her name was Song Weiwei."
"Yes, she's my friend! Thank you for saving her!"
The girl tried hard to stand up and bow to Jiang Chen, to express her gratitude.
But her legs were injured, and she couldn't stand.
"It's okay, she's unconscious. Take good care of her. I'm going to see if there are any other survivors."
Zhang Banxian didn't understand. Didn't Jiang Chen say he was saving Fatty? Why was he spending time saving others?
As if sensing Zhang Banxian's thoughts, Jiang Chen replied, "If Fatty were here, he would definitely support me doing this."
"Fatty once said that all lives are equal, and no one is born noble."
"Besides, Fatty has a face full of good fortune, he won't die young."
"With the two of us here, he won't die."
Saying this, Jiang Chen used Flash Step and went back in.
However, his words touched Zhang Banxian's heart.
He walked up to the girl he had just rescued and gave her a bottle of pills, saying, "Your friend will wake up after taking this. You take some too; it will help your injuries recover."
"Thank you!"
The girl cried, moved. She wanted to express her gratitude in a thousand words, but Zhang Banxian clearly didn't have time to listen!
"I still need to save other classmates, I'm leaving now!"
With that, Zhang Banxian turned and strode away.
Song Yiyi also followed closely behind.
Seeing Song Yiyi move, someone asked, "Song Yiyi, what are you doing?"
"I also want to use my power to protect this place, to protect everyone."
"But this building could collapse again at any moment, it's too dangerous for you to go!"
Someone advised, "It's safer to wait for the professionals to arrive for rescue!"
"My own personal safety is less important than using everything I have to protect this place."
As Song Yiyi spoke, she took a step forward.
She began to sing to the sky!
Her voice was beautiful, her melody like a heavenly sound.
A pair of transparent wings sprouted from her back.
She shouted loudly, "Angel Wings - Activate!"
Then, she rushed into the collapsing building, disappearing from sight.
From somewhere in the darkness, a cold voice echoed, "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
