Squeak squeak.
After arriving at the place where the cry came from, Li Xiang hurriedly braked and stopped the car.
Bam.
Without another word, Chen Ran and the others immediately opened the car door and got out. Then, they saw a middle-aged woman squatting by the roadside, crying in despair.
Swoosh.
Chen Ran glanced ahead and instantly saw a cave entrance by the roadside. A man was lying at the entrance of the cave. The man tried his best to crawl in, but because the cave entrance was too small, his shoulder was stuck and he could not enter at all.
Thud, thud, thud.
Li Xiang immediately walked over and asked, "Hello, what happened?"
The man at the entrance of the cave suddenly raised his head. His face was filled with panic and tears. When he saw the soldiers in military uniform, his eyes lit up and he immediately cried, "Comrade soldier, my child accidentally slipped into the underground sewer and fell down. When I looked in, I saw him floating not far away. However, he's drifting further and further away from me now. I can't see him clearly. I want to crawl in and save him, but the entrance of the cave is too small to enter. Do you have a way? I beg you, save my child…"
This man seemed to have grabbed onto his last life-saving straw and kept begging.
The middle-aged woman beside them knelt down and cried, "Please, save my child. He's still so young and it's so dark inside. He must be very afraid. My child, please…"
"Sister, don't be like this. Get up first."
Li Xiang quickly pulled the middle-aged woman up and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
Seeing him coming over, the middle-aged man quickly stood up and made way for him.
Swoosh.
Li Xiang glanced at the sewer and frowned.
The sewer was squarish, with cement on both sides. The hole was narrow. Children could enter, but it was impossible for adults.
"The child's life is at stake. There's not much time left."
Li Xiang pondered for a moment and immediately growled, "Grab my leg."
Chen Ran was the first to react. He immediately reached out and grabbed Li Xiang's legs.
Li Xiang immediately stuck his head out and crawled into the sewer.
Among these people, Li Xiang was relatively short.
However, because the hole was too small, no matter how hard Li Xiang tried to squeeze in, he could only squeeze in his head.
"I don't believe it. I can't go in."
Li Xiang gritted his teeth and exerted strength again, squeezing in with all his might.
However, his shoulder was still stuck outside and he could not go in or out at all.
"I'm going all out!"
Li Xiang continued to work hard. He tried his best to shrink his shoulders and squeeze in with all his might. After a moment, he finally managed to squeeze his shoulders in.
However, in the next moment, his shoulder was stuck. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move forward at all.
This time, Li Xiang's frown deepened.
"Sorry to trouble you."
Li Xiang could only stop in place and look inside, carefully observing the pipeline.
"With my figure, even if I can get in, it'll be difficult to pass through. What should I do?"
Li Xiang was at his wit's end as he heard the child's cries coming from inside.
"Daddy, Mommy, I'm so scared. Where are you? Daddy, Mommy…"
Hearing this helpless cry, Li Xiang felt extremely uncomfortable. He wished he could immediately crawl in and save the child.
He really could not imagine a three-year-old trapped in a damp, cold, dark sewer, feeling helpless and desperate.
In fact, even an adult would be extremely afraid of such a situation, let alone a child. This was because they did not know when they would be able to see the light of day again.
Li Xiang took a deep breath, widened his eyes, and continued to look inside. Finally, he saw a small body curled up in a corner. Its body was trembling, and it looked extremely pitiful.
"The child is being washed down. This can't go on."
Seeing that the child was getting further and further away from him, Li Xiang's expression was extremely solemn.
Due to the heavy rain just now, there was a lot of water flowing, pushing the child forward.
Li Xiang could see that the child stretched out his hands and tried to grab the pipe with all his might. However, because he was too weak and the pipe was too smooth, he could not grab it at all. He could only let the water wash him inside.
What troubled Li Xiang the most was that as the water flowed, the child's figure became more and more blurry, and the cries became more and more distant.
"At this rate, the child might be washed away."
Li Xiang's heart was extremely heavy.
Above the sewers, Xiao Yunjie and the others were held back by the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman cried miserably and kept begging, "Please, think of a way to save my child. Please…"
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yunjie and the others also felt very uncomfortable. However, they also knew the size of the hole. They could not enter at all.
In other words, if they could not shrink themselves, they would not be able to enter.
At this moment, Li Xiang's face turned red. He crawled out from below and said solemnly, "The sewer hole is too small to go down. Contact the rescue team immediately."
Chen Ran looked at the hole and said with a solemn expression, "Company Commander, it might be too late when the troops arrive. Let me try."
When he said this, Chen Ran was very serious.
That's right, he was not joking.
When he was pulling the company commander just now, Chen Ran carefully observed the speed of the water flow and found that the pipes below extended in all directions. If the child followed the water flow, he did not know where it would flow to.
At that time, even if the rescue team arrived, it might be too late.
Moreover, if they wanted to go down, only professionals could do the work. They also had to use various tools to dig in. Who knew how much time it would take?
After all that time, it would be already too late.
Most importantly, it was not that Chen Ran was not confident.
This was because he had an S-rank disguise talent. The most terrifying part of this talent was to change the physical characteristics of his body.
Of course, it was also Chen Ran's first time using this skill. He did not know if it would work or not, but he had to try to find out. After all, this was the only way to use it at the moment.
In addition, Chen Ran was in such a hurry because he had read much of such news. If the child who fell down could not be saved immediately, it would be very difficult to find him. He might even die with his corpse unfound.
Li Xiang glanced at Chen Ran and did not say anything. He immediately took out his phone and started to make a call.
It was not that he did not agree, but that it would not work at all. Even he could not get in, let alone Chen Ran, who was more than 180 meters tall.
It could not be helped. The hole was too narrow for adults to enter.
