Power and Wealth Chapter 1352: He carried it up!

Chapter 1352: He carried it up!

Night.

In front of the Public Security Bureau family quarters.

Everybody looked at the shaking building. They were focused on the third floor, Mayor Dong. 

Crash!

Thud!

Bang!

The walls were crumbling.

Heavy debris fell off the building.

The building was swaying.

Meng Rui shouted. Xiao Dong! Get out of there now!

Yao Cui, Li Xiaona, and the rest were anxious. Mayor Dong! Come out now! Stop trying to save others!

Pu An shouted. Xuebing! What the hell are you doing? Hurry and run! Are you trying to get yourself killed? Even the Discipline Inspection Secretary started cursing.

The civilians and the Public Security Bureaus family members were shocked. It is going to collapse. Why is Mayor Dong not running?

Chu Pengs eyes were red. Dong Xuebing and him were from different factions and political rivals. It was fine before the building started collapsing. But the building was crumbling down now. The floors were cracking, and Dong Xuebing still refused to leave. They were rivals, and Chu Peng could not comprehend why he would go to this extent to save his wife. He clenched his fists and shouted. Save Mayor Dong first! Get him onto the ladder platform!

The fire department team leader shouted to his man below. Move the platform closer! Closer!

The fireman, controlling the ladder, shouted. I cant go nearer! There is debris falling! I will hit the ladder!

The fire engine was positioned under the building. If the debris hit the ladder platform, the seven firemen would be killed, and the fire engine would be crushed. A fireman evacuated the ambulance and medical team to a safe place.

Team Leader! Get down first!

Dont let us down! Mayor Dong is still inside!

No! It is too dangerous!

Bang! A piece of concrete fell on the fire engine, making a dent.

It was dangerous, but Dong Xuebing, standing in the third floors room, seemed unfazed. He ran to the concrete slab and checked the womans injuries under it from the cracks. She was not crushed, and there were some blood stains. She should have suffered superficial wounds. The concrete slab was about two to three meters wide and was very thick. One end was sunk into the floor, and he could not see the other side.

Dong Xuebing turned and looked outside. The walls were gone, and he could see the crowd outside. He shouted. Give me lights!

Jian Xiangrong shouted. Come out! Hurry!

Dong Xuebing shouted louder. Hurry! Give me lights!

Jiang Fangfang looked at Dong Xuebing and turned. Shine the lights at him!

The staff outside the compound quickly turned the searchlights and pointed them at the third floor.

Because of the angle, the lights were shining upwards. Many areas were not illuminated. But it was enough for Dong Xuebing to see. He immediately analyzed the situation and concluded the firemen were correct. This concrete slab must be lifted by hand. Small machines could not support the weight, which must be lifted in one go to prevent Zeng Jinhua from suffering more injuries.

But the concrete slab was too big.

Dong Xuebing felt it might weigh more than 1.5 tons.

Dong Xuebing had no time to think because the crumbling walls did not give him time. He quickly found a stable spot and stood on it. He grabbed the concrete slab and lifted it.

The concrete slab did not move.

His strength was not enough to move it.

Dong Xuebing did not give up. He remembered how he supported a wall weighing more than one ton in a Fen Zhou City school. He used REVERSE to recover his body and maintain his strength. He mumbled REVERSE under his breath.

REVERSE came into effect.

Dong Xuebing tried again.

One second

Two second

Three seconds

He maintained his full strength.

But Dong Xuebing could not lift it. REVERSE could not help him lift the concrete slab.

Dong Xuebing immediately understood. When he was saving others previously, he was holding up the wall. The walls weight was distributed to his body and legs, and REVERSE recovered his strength, body, and bones. One was supporting a heavy load while the other was lifting a heavy one. It was as if a 300-pound man was rushing towards you, and you could stop him for a while by pushing against him. But most people could not lift a 300-pound man lying on the floor.

REVERSE is ineffective.

The ladder platform had moved further from the building to avoid getting hit by falling debris.

The fire department team leader shouted. Mayor Dong! Hurry and get out! Its too late to save her!

The firemen were trained professionals and were stronger than most people. Seven could not move that concrete slab, and Dong Xuebing was trying to lift it himself.

Ten men might not even do it.

You want to lift it by yourself and rescue Zhen Jinhua?

How is it possible? No one is so strong.

The government staff and Public Security Bureaus family members started shouting at Mayor Dong to escape.

Dong Xuebing deactivated REVERSE and stared at that concrete slab. He was anxious. What should he do?

Should I leave like this?

No!

Dong Xuebing felt responsible for what happened to Zeng Jinhua. He will not leave her and escape.

But he could not lift the concrete slab.

Dong Xuebing does not have the strength to lift it.

How is he going to carry the injured out?

The shouting and collapsing building did not affect Dong Xuebing. He narrowed his eyes and thought of a plan. STOP will stop time, and every object is unaffected by gravity. He had used STOP to carry a heavy object before. It felt light. Other than some time stop resistance, he did not feel the weight. Weight is caused by gravity. If he can remove gravity, all objects will weigh the same.

What about SLOWER?

SLOWER will slow time. It slowed the time on all objects, including the gravity effect on objects. He might be able to lift it if time slowed down and earths gravity was discounted.

Is it possible?

It must be!

Dong Xuebing might lift the concrete slab if it was lighter more than ten times.

Dong Xuebing immediately mumbled SLOWER.

Time slowed down.

The dust falling from above floated down slowly.

The small concrete pieces falling from the walls floated like feathers in the air.

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and grabbed that concrete slab. He shouted and put all his strength into his arms.

Up!

I want to lift it!

It was another dimension under the effect of SLOWER.

Everybody saw something else.

The buildings sixth floor had collapsed and crushed the fifth floor. A few units had fallen off the building.

The fifth and sixth floors on the right of the building were gone.

The third floor will be crushed in a matter of time.

The fireman saw it and moved the fire engine seven to eight meters away from the building to dodge the falling debris.

The people outside were panicking.

Dong Xuebing!

Can you hear us?

Get out now! Xiao Dong!

The fire department team leader was on the same level as Dong Xuebing. He saw Mayor Dong refusing to give up. He was going to explode from the anxiousness. Mayor Dong! Seven of us could not lift it. You cannot do it alone.

The other firemen shouted at Dong Xuebing.

Thats right. Hurry and jump onto the platform!

That slab weighs more than a ton!

Even the strongest man in the world could only lift four to five hundred kilograms.

No one can do it! Stop wasting your effect and run!

Dong Xuebing ignored them. He could not hear them and was using all his strength to lift the concrete slab. Veins were popping from his temples.

Up!

Up!

I want to lift it!

Everybody thought Mayor Dong had gone mad.

No humans can lift a concrete slab weighing over a ton. The seven firemen had proven it earlier.

But the next moment

Everybody was shocked by what they saw.

Argh! Dong Xuebing shouted, and the concrete slab pressing on Zeng Jinhua moved slightly. He lifted it slowly by two centimeters above the floor. The part sunken into the ground was pulled out!

It moved!

The concrete slab was lifted!

WTF?

Everybody was stunned.

Everybody held their breath as they watched Dong Xuebing lift the concrete slab!
