Chapter 21 third chapter

Between AD 30 and 33, the first Sunday after the vernal equinox full moon, Jerusalem. Three days ago, because of being betrayed by a traitor, Jesus died on the cross wearing a crown of thorns.On the second dawn after the Passover Sabbath, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to the tomb of Jesus to anoint the body of the prophet.They found the tomb empty, and an angel came to say that Jesus had risen.On that day, Jesus appeared in front of his disciples and said, "God has given me all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, you must go to all parts of the world and make all people my disciples; Baptize them in the name of the Holy Spirit and teach them to obey all the commands I have given you. Remember! I will be with you always until the end of the world."

Until the end of the world—nearly two thousand years later, many thought that day had come. April 8.The first Sunday after the spring equinox full moon.jesus easter.Night, 22:29. Ye Xiao saw her face. The electric light pierced through the cobweb-like dust, illuminating the small space held down by a concrete beam, and also illuminating a woman's eyes. Her face was covered with dust and grime, and beneath her long, disheveled hair, her eyes sparkled with hope.This young looking woman was not completely overwhelmed by the ruins.Ye Xiao's arm strength was beyond ordinary, but it was very difficult to pull her out. It turned out that she was holding a little boy in her arms.

The boy looked seven or eight years old, and faced the strong light of the flashlight, he lowered his head and dared not open his eyes. Just now, it was the child's crying that saved himself and his mother. Ye Xiao also wondered why he concluded at a glance that this was a mother and son.He put the torch aside, picked up the woman and the boy with both hands, and pulled them out of the rubble.The boy looked up, even though his face was covered with dust, it couldn't hide his frighteningly pale complexion, and his eyes that almost shone green. Some kind of suspicion flashed in Ye Xiao's heart: This poor child has already died in the ground, is it a revived bloodless zombie?

When he further suspected the young mother, he really felt her body temperature and pulse.Her long hair may not have been washed for a few days, exuding a faint strange smell, brushing against his face constantly, not only did not make him feel any discomfort, but instead aroused the man's desire. she is alive! As for the child—couldn't tell. When Ye Xiao picked up the boy, his body was actually cold! Let's hope it's just sickness or hunger. Ye Xiao is not a member of the rescue team, nor has he received any professional training. He is not here to save people, but to deal with emergencies underground with handcuffs and pistols.When he rescued a mother and child, he was at a loss.

On the other hand, the young mother hurriedly hugged the child, and said in a hoarse voice, "There are... still... people..." When a person is on the verge of collapse, her speech is usually slurred, but Ye Xiao obviously feels that her accent is very strange, as if she is not Chinese. But he didn't dare to go in hastily, maybe the collapsed area would expand, and he might be buried in the ruins.He switched on the walkie-talkie to contact headquarters and called for rescuers. Ye Xiao said to the mother and son: "Don't talk anymore, don't move around, keep your strength! Someone will come to take you up soon! Can you understand me? Just nod or blink!"

The young mother nodded, and the pale boy blinked. Ye Xiao handed the mother and son the mineral water they carried with them, and the mother fed the son first.The boy was unusually calm. Instead of gulping it down like ordinary people, he took a small sip first, and then slowly drank half a bottle of water. He drank water too quickly and was choked to death. The boy sparingly handed the remaining half bottle of water to his mother. It seemed that they had already become accustomed to saving every living resource during the seven days and nights underground. After the bottle of water was shared by the mother and son, the rescue team arrived quickly.The discovery of the survivors made everyone very excited, especially the women and children, which boosted their morale even more. They carefully carried the mother and child out.Doctors and nurses were waiting eagerly on the tenth floor, and the elevator cabin would take the mother and child to the ground.

When this woman, who may be Japanese, and the boy who does not look like a living person see the bright moonlight again after seven days and seven nights, on this Easter night, the cameras and flashlights of the whole world will be aimed at them —they have become symbols of the wonder of life that the whole earth admires. "Resurrection on Easter Night" - Ye Xiao drew up a headline for the front page of "New York Times" tomorrow morning. At this moment, more than a dozen rescuers continued to dig in with various tools, and the life detector issued a strong signal. Two minutes later, when Ye Xiao put on his mask and helmet again, the rescue team had already carried out a young man from the depths of the smoky tunnel.There are many holes in his clothes, and the logo of Calfort Supermarket can be vaguely distinguished.The team members put on an oxygen mask for him and rushed to the ground for rescue.

Another one was rescued! Just as Ye Xiao let go of his clenched fist, and the wound on his hand hadn't stopped bleeding, the team members rescued two more living people. This time it was two women, who looked young, perhaps in their early twenties.Their bodies are not in serious condition, and they almost walked out by themselves.Ye Xiao retreated to the side of the passage, two women passed him by, one of them looked bigger, his eyes swept across his face coldly. The moment his eyes met, there was a slight chill in his heart. This is the fourth and fifth survivors. Ye Xiao watched them leave the ground, raised his eyebrows in a typical way, and thought of the man whose throat was cut and murdered in the projector room - he had ordered no one to move the corpse, but he had to rescue the labrador dog , He has absolute command in this regard.

There were also rescue teams digging in the theater passage, and he waited patiently in place.More rescuers came down, and they split up to search downstairs, hoping to find more survivors.But he's just waiting here. Ten minutes later, he waited. Four rescuers emerged from the lights, carrying a grown man on a stretcher. sixth! Ye Xiao calmed down a lot.His eyelids twitched as the survivor passed him.At the same time, he heard someone calling his name. "Ye...Xiao?" The latter word has a questioning tone, and it can definitely be said from the mouth of the man lying on the stretcher-the survivor who was buried underground for seven days and seven nights.

Ye Xiao stopped the stretcher, lowered his head and looked directly into the survivor's eyes. He looked to be in his thirties, his thick beard covered his cheeks, his body was still bleeding, and he looked at Ye Xiao intently, unlike the dying look that had just been dug out. The two looked at each other for five seconds. The rescue team members carrying the stretcher looked at them strangely. Suddenly, Ye Xiao's brows twitched, and a certain name jumped out of the Pandora's box of memory. "Zhou—— Xuan——" these two words came out of his lips slowly, and the other party answered in the affirmative with satisfied eyes.

It turned out...it was him!Ye Xiao stretched out his right hand subconsciously, and tightly grasped Zhou Xuan's right hand. It's still hot. The fingers of the two men were tightly intertwined, carrying each other's warm blood.
