If Yuri ever gave up, or if she fell, the rest would be doomed.
Among the ten-plus people remaining, all were schoolmates of people present at the scene. Some were classmates, friends, or even siblings. After Officer Lyao's words rang out, their faces became instantly anxious. They clenched their fists tightly, silently praying: Yuri, please, hold on.
As time passed, one after another fell down on the ground, and were taken away.
Watching their loved ones and friends being rescued and out of danger, some were overcome with joy, weeping and laughing in low voices.
Others waited in distress, their eyes glued to Yuri, missing not a single subtle change in her. She must hang on.
When the last person finally fell, a cheer erupted from the crowd in the playground. Everyone hugged those around them, celebrating this moment of victory.
